Shadowrun Characters

Post by Joose »

As we are going to have quite a large team going, I thought it would be a good idea to get down what you guys have your characters capable of. You dont need to go into specifics, just something along the lines of:

Blokename: Face, fire support, little bit of hacking.

Note that stuff like magic and tech fella probably need a little more definition. What do you use magic for? general support, healing, blowing people apart with your mind?

Post them here and I'll edit this post to keep a list. That way, we wont end up with 8 shooty men and no hacker, or some such.

Leland Wilmot: Chaos Mage, mostly combat and detection spells, but can heal and manipulate as well. Also does counterspelling protection and assensing. Can shoot a gun without hitting his foot. grew up in a San Diego street gang, got a Masters degree in chemistry in Seattle.

Simon Tarenish (backup guy): Hindu Mage, again focus on combat with competency in healing and manipulation. Good at Astral Combat and Assensing. Has a photographic memory. Lost his brother a few years ago in a hold up, the brother was taken hostage, but was never heard from again. Simon has flashbacks about the incident.

I need to prod you actually to get this man of mine sorted, but I do have a name and such:

Jon Crinkle: Human, gearhead, melee type person probably (although this will change if it transpires that i'm not allowed to do this)


Jon Crinkle

Ex-racing driver, banned from racing for life for taking a tyre iron to a groupie joking about him being 'the fastest she'd ever had'.

Al Haynes: Human face man, lots of contacts and social skills, not so good at fighting. Ex-corporate brat, ex-Mr Johnson, heavy drinker.

Matt 'Mo' Moreau (backup character): Orc combat mage. Just as happy laying down covering fire as magical fire. Street ganger, biker, hardass, wears a great hat.

Shaun - Sniper/fire support with very good contacts in the way of a support driver and 'Face' who help out on runs.

Tzark - Combat Shaman, 1%er and very large bloke

'N-Zo' - Elf Hacker, specialises in 'meat' runs

None are the main just yet, as I'm waiting to see whats needed, and the Elf isn't quite finished...

Chopper - Human adept, melee attacker specialising in blades and unarmed combat. Very agile, can dodge a fair few things in order to up close and personal. Communication skills are somewhat lacking, his "diplomacy and bargaining" almost got Al killed on the first run. Sometimes uses a bow and arrow and, bizarrely, grenades.

Ex-fireman, got trapped in a quarantined suburb full of ghouls and hasn't been the same since. Developed a phobia of fur after being pursued through said suburb by a Krieger infected convention of furries.

Possibly slightly unstable.

Smith: Human doctor

Quiet, bland and quite unremarkable. Skilled in the fields of First Aid, Medicine and Cybertechnology - yet he works as a street doc from a small facility in one of the less salubrious parts of town.

Background checks appear equally as bland as his appearance.

Alvrin Dntella: Elven ex-Renraku paramilitary. Skilled in making his way into all sorts of locations using unconventional means (i.e.: jumping, climbing, shadowing). Good with a katana and revolver. Hates AR a lot. Used to a fairly posh lifestyle but can also rough it.

I guess everyone knows what Ingress5 is now, so :

Ingress5: AI hacker.

Only fairly recently emerged, he was a military grade e-warfare program developed by Ares, intended to take over enemy hardware and disrupt communications in combat. He has learnt pretty much everything he knows about the real world from watching sim-soaps, which has left him a bit socially awkward. He means well, and is friendly, but has no clue about things like acceptable behaviour, personal space, politeness etc.

He hopes to one day be a real boy. I'm totally not kidding. Meat-drone!
