Campaign so far
Ran about like crazies, tried not to die. Done ok so far.
The Cast
Joose's Team
Leland Wilmot, Human Mage - Deject
Deals 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.
Chopper, Human Combat Adept - Roman Totale
Specialist 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.
Al Haynes, Human Face - Dog Pants
Lots of contacts and social skills, not so good at fighting. Ex-corporate brat, ex-Mr Johnson, heavy drinker.
Frank Nazum, Ork Ex Army guy - HereComesPete
Ex army special forces weapons and armour tech. Currently lives/works at an armoury doing various custom jobs.
Very handy with all guns, especially so with shotgun and sniper rifle.
Dislikes - racists, sewage and his boss Jericho Helbourg. Likes - killing things, blowing stuff up and smoking red apple cigarettes.
Nikolai Benedict Fedorski, Dwarf Russian rigger - Grimmie
Drone rigger, designated driver, Red Vory affiliated, vindictive. Reads books, listens to a lot of radio.
N-zo, Elf Hacker - The Shutting Downs
Matrix specialist, with skills allowing him to take on his favourite 'meat runs'. Has a liking for old Horror movies and has set his AR filters to match. Always has a multitude of comlinks available.
HereComesPete's Team
Smith, Human doctor - Roman
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.
Jasper LaFayette, Elf Voodoo Shaman - DogPants
looks like a tramp, and can possess shit, although he's not yet demonstrated this much. Hails from Nawlins, not popular with the Law. Likes drinking and swearing.
Alvrin Dntella, Elven ex-Renraku paramilitary - Deject
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.
Ingress5, AI hacker - Joose
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!
Jon Crinkle, Wheelman - Fabyak
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'.
Retired Characters
Alexis, Sniper - Joose
Running the Shadows - Joose
Run 1 - The Box
The team gets sent to retrieve a stolen "item", that turns out to be a mysterious magical box. They pinch it, run off, hand it off to the Mr J and head home.
Run 2 - Cellar full of nasty things
The team goes to blow up a cellar full of horrible things. They get into a gory fight with ghouls which is rudely interrupted by a huge invisible guy who tries to rip them in half. After quite a beating, they manage to take it down. Chopper celebrates by stealing its head.
Run 3 - Go find this woman or I'll eat your hearts
The team gets a call from Pastukhov to go help the local Yakuza with something delicate. The team is joined by Nikolai, N-zo and Jon. Chopper and Frank mess up the meeting and make Al so angry he nearly falls over. After a few excursions where Frank is tentacle raped, Choppers cups testicles, Leland nearly gets some from a trippy chick and Al becomes a pimp the team finally discover the location of the target. After some good work (and Chopper getting his ass kicked by a spirit) the target is acquired, removed and delivered unharmed.
Chopper's Mini Adventure
Chopper sticks the wooden doll he got as a reward under his pillow, in his dreams he goes back to the Ghoul attack on his hometown, and takes on the world dressed in his jim-jams. Chopper Wins.
Run 4 - Go watch some people!
The team get tasked by a stripper to watch some people and see what they're up to. They set up a safe house, Al dresses like a tramp, finds he doesn't like smelling like Chopper. It ends up with Nik shooting a guy and selling his corpse to an organlegger after N-zo sorts out the recently deceased's docwagon armband. They then get paid, simple right?
Run 5 - Go find a person
The team see the stripper again, and get sent to retrive a body from a Corp mortuary without arousing suspicion. They go in disguised as another corps reps, initiate a security alert and run out with the corpse they came for and one that looks 'gribbly', and delete the autopsy reports.
Run 6 - Bug Hunt
Acting on the strange body they found in the morgue last run, the team (Sans N-zo, who won't work for free) go looking for the cause of the wierd bug lady.
