I actually like the sound of that. Everyone who wants to being able to post a 'preview' prologue segue for their character. I'll see about writing something for Traction once her Profile is done.

Due to scheduling shenanigans post will be delayed until tomorrow. I'm clearing my schedule then to make time for it, so unless there's an unprecedented natural disaster I /will/ be posting then.

So I decided to make a sort of adept/go-ganger. Feel free to have canon dictate that they're responsible for botching the last job via needless violence.

You've hit me with a hell of a curveball here, BB, you know that, right? :p

After a bit of thought, I've decided to accept it mostly as is, with a single caveat; Without a smartlink or something, aiming one gun is a hassle. You've chosen four. I think you should be prepared to trade accuracy for coolness if you start pulling out more than one of those guns at a time. If you're prepared to submit to a bit of GM discretion every now and again when it comes to who falls down when you're shooting, then I think we can work with each other.

This means that @Azseth @Beach Burrito @Engel and @Terminal have been formally accepted (Saw your edits to Traction, Terminal, looks fine to me.) Of the people who have spoken up, I haven't heard from @absentmare and @Refezen for a bit, but they have a few more days to check back in. (Also since it's been a bit if you could just check in quick, Engel, I'd appreciate it.)

I'm doing some family stuff today, but I'll be getting to work on my own CS once I get home from that. I still haven't decided which of my characters I'll be going with here, but it'll give me something to think about today instead of family and how crowded it is, so hey. In a few days, whether we get any more characters than that or not, I'm prepared to start the IC. Anybody who wants to follow Az's example and put up a fluff prologue piece before then is welcome to do so.

@Krauxis - That was actually the idea. Kaz is the sustainable asset with the right tool for the right job. Kali on the other hand is a square peg screeching towards a round hole at ramming speed. She puts out suppression (Since most of her shots go wide), soaks up the aggro (Since most people see the adept leaping around with four guns as a higher priority threat) and tries to get into spitting distance. John Woo tropes are her bread and butter, made possible by the magical mobility being a physical adept provides--as an ex-thrill criminal she'll always choose whichever option seems cooler or more exciting. Kamikaze's a hell of a drug.

To put it another way Kaz is Arma and Kali is Call of Duty -- Twitch reflexes, endless profanity and makes you feel ashamed for liking it.

@Terminal - Love the concept. I'd of figured we'd end up with a technomancer instead of a decker, but never thought we'd get a decker that could pass as a technomancer.

*** Also, I love that there's an adept power for knowing how much something weighs (down to the gram) by looking at it--seemed perfect for an addict.

Haha. I'm very curious to see how this group works together.

Anyway, Burrito. Have you seen or heard of Lo Wang from Shadow Warrior by chance?

Watch this video, and if it's not your thing, at least go to 2:08 and think of me.

CHOPPING DUDES TO BITS AGAAAIIIN!!

Saw your character, Ref, will get back to you once I'm finished putting mine together. Good to see a rigger added to the crew, we're getting filled out really nicely.

In case anybody's curious, my character is going to be a bit of a mishmash. Sniper, demolitions expert, astral projectionist. Deep Weed addict, and overall chill dude (read:lazy) to balance out all the frickin high-strung psychos we've gathered, haha. Expect him up in an hour, maybe two.

Should I throw my CS over into the character's tab? Also, I love how it's the future yet so many of us roll out with frag'n wheelguns.

Yeah, BB, go ahead and post your char in the tab. @Refezen you can consider yourself officially accepted. Just let me know whenever you go back to polish him up so I can take another look.

My character's posted as well now, so it's time for me to pass out for a bit. I'm not above criticism, so if anybody's got any concerns about him, feel free to speak up and I'll address it in the morning when I can think a bit more clearly. His whole CS was put together from a couple of thought fragments I filled in while tired, so it's possible I went way off board somewhere. I'll have to re-look it over myself, but I wanted to get something down either way.

Edit: Also before I forget, now that we have several accepted characters, I'd like everybody to start filling in their 'opinions' section. If new characters get proposed/accepted, we can just add as we go, but I'd like to get a head start on it so it doesn't just get swept under the table.

I added an kinda maybe sorta important spoiler at the end of Kyuzo's profile. Read at your own peril.

Just throwing this out there but I'm guessing it would be right to assume Cath has the biggest 'magical footprint' on the team, since I read Face as extremely charismatic shaman. Maybe not as directly offensive like recluse with his chaos magic but I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of anything she conjures. On the my first impression of our resident sniper/demolitions expert is that he's probably only got a few parlor tricks under his belt, right? I mean what would be the point in explosives otherwise, if he could achieve the same result with a snap of his fingers.

Also a fan of the cowboy style rigger, expect Kali to be the Doc Holiday to your Wyatt Earp Refezen!

Yeah, you pegged me right. Recluse isn't much of a mage to speak of. He can see and travel the astral, but that's about it as far as doing anything useful. His real skills lie in the meat.

Polishing up my opinions at the moment. Anyone that's interest in throwing out additional detail (or unsatisfied with how they get pegged) can toss a PM my way. Caveat being that Kali is just the worst--no silver lining or heart of gold.

Updated Traction's profile with Team Member opinions.

Also, general poll: The OP indicates the whole team is operating out of a waterside condo, but a few of the bios indicate otherwise. Are we all crashing together or is everyone doing their own thing?

I won't put a restriction on folks if they want to rent their own rooms, but for the purposes of the RP, the condo will serve as 'home base.' There are rooms there if you want to stay there, but I can appreciate that some folks prefer privacy over some Nuyen or CAS bucks burning a hole in their pocket. What I will say is that at the opening of the IC, everyone will be gathered at the condo, since that's when you're supposed to be contacted.
