[b/]Name and/or Alias[/b]: Darren Hayhurst, aka "Shadowdriver"
[b/]Age & Gender[/b]: 29, Male
[b/]Race[/b]: Human
[b/]Height & Weight[/b]: 6'3, 184lbs
[b/]Type[/b]: Smuggler, Adept, Gunslinger Adept
[b/]Appearance[/b]: Darren isn't overly muscular, but working with vehicles for years has kept him strong. This, along with his broad shoulders, and 6'3 height, gives him a fairly imposing stature.
Darren has dark, almost black, eyes, his hair is cut short, and he is almost always clean-shaven except when working on a car for a long period of time.
He usually wears a suit when meeting with contacts and clients, and always has one in his bag. When working, he wears a combat vest under a white shirt with black slacks.
[b/]History[/b]: Darren was raised in Cayuga, Ontario. His father worked as a mechanic, and Darren spent a lot of time with him learning about cars. He later began working with his father, showing an unusual aptitude for repairing cars.
Darren started driving at the nearby Motorsport Park. He, again, showed natural ability with cars. When he started to focus on his Adept abilities, he decided to use them to enhance his spatial awareness and reaction times and physical endurance, which allowed him to drive much faster and turn harder than other drivers.
[b/]Reason to be here/things to do[/b]: Darren heard that Seattle has a lot of criminals. Criminals need smugglers, and drivers. Darren's talents make him perfect for the job.
[b/]Personality[/b]: Darren is a very private man, and doesn't like to display emotions to clients. He believes jobs and personal feeling should be kept separate, in almost every situation. He will only reject a job if it involves a child, or kidnapping. Quite often, he will leave these clients a parting gift of a bullet to the head.
[b/]Notable skills[/b]: Darren's Adept powers allow him to drive faster and more dangerously than most others without hurting himself, damaging his cargo or killing innocents.
These skills also allow Darren to fight large groups in melee combat.
He also developed his skills as a Gunslinger Adept, and is incredibly skilled with a handgun.
[b/]Equipment[/b]: Darren always carries a handgun and two clips, which he rarely uses, and a knife for close-quarters combat. He always wears a combat vest when on a job for protection.
He has two commlinks: one for work and one for personal contacts.
Darren doesn't carry many tools, only those necessary for repairing his car. He sees no need for lockpicks, as he never breaks into buildings.
[b/]Contacts[/b]: Darren has very few contacts. His work commlink consists only of repeat clients, as he trusts nobody but himself to get a job.
[b/]Other[/b]: Darren absolutely hates kidnapping, more so if the victim is child. He will smuggle people in and out of places, but only under their terms.

Question, have you already written up Wulf's intro thingy? Because the huge amount of physical adepts of one form or another has made us kinda heavy in that regard, and I was going to lessen it by submitting a new sheet. If you've already written it up, don't worry about it.

This is a general look around, but I'd rather this not turn into a "I'm more badass than you" game. I've had it happen before and it was not pretty, on forums and in real life. Besides the fact that all we have are combat oriented characters(which is not normally a good thing in Shadowrun) with next to no contacts, everyone is magic-magic six foot speed tanks, and very few "true" infiltrators, Roberts is the closest we've got to a party crasher and even with him he doesn't like being seen.

@Red: Sorry, I hadn't intended that to be taken as being the start of a dick measuring contest... I was just saying that I needed the adept abilities to shift from wolf to human and back.

@Malyc:

Technically you don't,(there's special races that give you the same ability, and I actually thought that was what you were) but that's how you're playing it, so I don't have a problem with it. Yours was one of the earlier ones and it was just that now all there seems to be is adept,adept,adept...

I'm just asking if he's finished writing up my intro, and if he is, I'm not going to worry about, if he hasn't, I was going to submit a new sheet, this one not an adept.

Feel free to submit a different character but only if you want to.

Well, I tried not to make my character too overpowered, and left him with plenty of room to grow if he wants to learn new skills or adapt his current skillset. A few cyberaugs or training, I think I could turn Josh into a decent infiltrator.

Everyone else can play the "I'm more baddass than you" game.

Because I'm the one who flies.

Correction, an inordinate amount of adepts. We dont actually have any pure sorcerers aside from Nova who was genetically modified.

@Asclepion

How do you know my guy doesn't have a jetpack?

Also I'm going to take "party crasher" as a compliment.

Tried of the number of Adepts and am greatly interested.

Name and/or Alias: Charlie Dorsett Marlowe, "The Mob Middleman"

Age & Gender: Male, Mid 30's

Race: Human

Height & Weight: 5'8" 136lbs

Type: The Face

Appearance: Charlie's a man with an average face. But his fashion sense makes sure that he stands out. Stuck somewhere in the 1930's and to everyone's eyes it looks like he just stepped out of an ancient film noir: a drape cut suit made from quality cloth and a fedora to match. Has a huge collection of ties from the stylish to the silly, stemming from his old habit of buying a new tie once a job was completed. Many think due to his dressing habits he would be an easy hit, however as almost everyone in the criminal underworld does nowadays, he never goes outside before he puts his armour plates on, underneath his suit.

History: A disgraced lawyer who tried to win a trail with ill-gotten evidence and has turned to the Shadows. Before his disgrace he worked on a number of cases, be it murder, divorce or patents and refused to specialise as a lawyer. This lack of specialisation brought him contacts in a variety of areas but only brought his downfall. Every gang has its feuds from small-time players to big. Distrust and paranoia rule, even more so between Mega Corps and crime gangs. When negotiations need to be made but people suspect foul play, they sent Charlie in their place. He sold gangs the latest Mega Corp weapons, spoke for criminal organisations at trade meetings and more. This little niche made Charlie a rising star and a rich man. Until Job No. 35784, a negotiation with one of the top men of the Vory V Zakone and the Yakuza. A little matter of territory and who got the drug shipments. Tempers were high then, even Marlowe's. One racial slur and he was sent flying to the bottom of the ladder. He stayed off the radar for about 5 years, doing small-time jobs. On hearing about the recent death of those he angered 5 years ago, he has leapt at the chance to regain his place.

Reason to be here/things to do: Charlie was forced into the Shadows when he was about 27, when his attorney license was taken from him for using evidence illegally gained. Out of a job and out of money, he turned to the Shadows, as he saw the opportunity to use his sliver tongue in a less legal line of work. Still stuck at the bottom rung of the underworld ladder after that event that sent him there, he aspires to return to his former glory. Plus the added bonus, as a Shadowrunner to have some muscle to protect him in a squad.

Personality: His time in the Shadows has turned him from a naive, fresh-faced, idealistic lawyer out for justice and truth to a jaded, world-weary man. Opportunistic at best and impulsive at worst, he takes almost any job except those he considers below him. Snarky, but often with negotiations, he turns on the charm.

Notable skills: An expert negotiator and a daft hand at gathering intel. Combat-wise, he mostly relies on others and small handgun. Or hides.

Equipment: Just the standard Future Kevlar(TM) under his clothes, a notepad and pencil, a communication device and whatever small handgun he can get his mitts on.

Contacts: He knows and is on a first name basis with the top rung of the Mafia, the Cartels and the Triads. However, with the Vory V Zakone and the Yakuza, he only knows a few people on the middle rung, since the incident few in those gangs can stand him. Worked on many patent cases as an intern many AAA companies. As the patented product turned out to be some of the companies' most profitable, he is owned a few favour for helping with the patent cases.

List of Contacts:

Kondo Genichi, Renraku mid-level executive
Dr. William Laurence of Area Macrotechnology's weapon research division (Patents and told him what the mobs wanted in their guns.)
Don Joseph Gianelli - Don of the Gianelli Mafia Family (very interested in keeping mob weapons up to date, bought in bulk weapons from Ares.)
Dvorak - Dwarf Hacker (got him the evidence that led to his loss of his attorney license, but still friends.)
Jack Norwich - Informant (helped Charlie with divorce cases.)
Jason Hill - Manager at NeoNET Seattle (weapons trade.)
Kang T'se - Accountant of the Yellow Lotus Triad (Met during trade negations, drinking buddy, tried to teach Charlie to read Chinese while drunk. Hilarity ensued.)


Other: Fancies himself a bit of a womaniser but generally distrustful of meta-humans like Elves, Orcs and Trolls. However once they have earned his trust, he treats them as true friends. Can speak Japanese, Cantonese, and Chinese but cannot read them and often mixes them up.

Edit x2: As per GM's instructions.

[b/]All[/b]:

Due to a family emergency, I'm going to have to delay the start game for a few days (Murphy's law is in full effect I guess)

I should still be able to answer questions if anyone has them when I have time, just PM me or quote me so I see them because I will not have time to check the forum.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Take your time. We're all patient people, and family comes before Internet friends. Hope everything is all right with you.

Goodluck with your family problems Hiei.
And of course take your time with those problems.
I have no problem with waiting.
