Fortunately I had planned for already reloading the low capacity heavy pistol, so I assume this might be a reasonable time to fall into that at the same time as suddenly introducing another combatant, @Terminal. Regardless, you will have your answer in many senses soon enough.

@Terminal When my friend leaves for the weekend, I'll be reading and probably working on another post tonight. Don't let me hold you back. If I join the fight, or not.

@13org@BangoSkank How goes things? Guys need any help or suggestions?

Edit: Will be able to post something tomorrow.

@SleepingSilence

Got caught up on some RL problems... Still need to think about my CS (sorry...) 

Honestly, I am a bit intimidated by how big the first posts are XD.

One thing i'm still a bit confused though is technology & etc. Genetic manipulation seems to be pretty common, right? What about prosthetics& etc? Artificial organs, limbs...

The CS has a specific section for Cyberlimbs. You can certainly have prosthetic/limbs. If you have any confusion, just google 'cyberpunk 2020' equipment and you'll find what you need. It has implant air supplies that act like artificial lungs. 

(I'll throw a few links your way, but there's others out there.)

I'm looking to finish my intro post in the near future, Wednesday being my goal. It is just as likely to take part as it is to avoid the fight @Terminal (and by extension @The Harbinger of Ferocity), so for the time being I don't see any obstacles with you continuing for a time.

@The Harbinger of Ferocity @Terminal I'm not anywhere in particular, but I'm nearby and approaching the area where the firefight is currently taking place. So you can make note of seeing me or not, if you want. Obviously, if I'm caught out of position, she didn't go a very good job staying out of trouble. ;P

My only suggestion in all this madness as people dawdle about and up to their own brands of shady business, is to mention those you are specifically interacting with or have a very, very high likelihood of noticing you. That way it adds some incentive and pressure upon them to respond, as well as notice at all; a single line in these many paragraphs could be easily displaced. I would rather not have something like that, character interaction, go without notice and ignored.

Missed my goal, and might go all the way to next week. Post is definitely on its way, but the heat is not pulling any punches.

There's a fair chance I'll finally get my intro up tomorrow too, since it seems the heat has finally withdrawn and I no longer have the appearance of a puddle at the end of the day.

Well, it isn't as lengthy as some other intros in the thread, but it is something. And it allows a new guy to step in if anyone is looking to. If not, I have a plan for an NPC to arrive just as well.

If you like, you can go ahead and edit your post to include Theron's take-down of the thug. I had no particular plans for them in mind and it should free up some time/space for Theron on your end.

I will go about including them on the next round, based on what you opt to do. If your character effectively disengages, Theron will go about trying to split the goons up from the killer cyborg, @Terminal. If not, he'll engage in some pursuit hopping here and there until some outcome is met, even if that means your own escapes. Really the priority is Golemeth.

@Terminal I'll just make it easier on y'all, and be nearby but my character will find themselves fighting off a separate party that happened to be in the area. So if we decide to connect after the firefight somehow, it won't be challenging. But Harb's and your scenario doesn't have to worry about its connection with mine. Aside from the fact, that they're approximate distances.

Edit: Bout 500 words in, distractions upon distractions. But will get a post in by tomorrow at the latest.

Had some troubles regarding her bio. I know it's a bit all over the place but at least it's something XD

𝙽𝚊𝚖𝚎:
 Nina Ruadh 

𝙰𝚐𝚎:
21

Gender:
Female

Ocupation:
Information Runner, but actually does a little bit of everything.

𝙰𝚙𝚙𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚊𝚗𝚌𝚎:
 
Fiery red hair, hazel eyes and a delicately white skin coupled with an cute and pretty face, Nina is surely an eye candy. Standing at 1,68m, her athletic body has almost perfect dimensions, so much that it's almost that it was carefully calculated. An agile and compact build. While some say that it's not as pretty or 'alluring' as other women with big breasts and large hips, those who know how to look can see the beauty behind her body. 

𝙿𝚎𝚛𝚜𝚘𝚗𝚊𝚕𝚒𝚝𝚢:
 
Nina is a happy girl, despite everything that happened to her. Always with a smile on her face, she loves company, has a tendency to always see the good side of everything and is rather flirty regarding members of the opposite sex who earns her attention. Just like her hair though, she has quite the fiery temperament. With strong opinions, she isn't the type of woman who would go back on her own words or flee from an argument. Despite this fact, she is extremely smart and very rarely looses her temper enough to impair her logical thinking. Ironically enough, the best way to extract information from her is by being friendly. Around those whom she considers being her 'friends' she is sometimes careless regarding information that should be confidential.

𝙱𝚒𝚘:
Born in a relatively wealthy family, Nina was always an incredibly smart girl. Being gifted with both a healthy and athletic body and smarts, she quickly made a name for herself in the academic community due to her innovative ideas of using bioware technics, concepts and technology together with cyberware. Due to that, as soon as she graduated herself, she was almost immediately showered with offers to work in megacorps. The young Nina, not knowing how serious was working for a big megacorp, simply accepted the one that paid a good amount of money and gave her a bit of freedom for her to tinker with expensive tech without taking it off from her paycheck. 

Fortunately for the big megacorp that hired her, Nina didn't care much at all about anything other than simply having enough money to buy all the high tech 'toys' (aka: very expensive and potentially dangerous stuff) to tinker with and to have enough free time for her hobbies (that, excluding things that were related to her work, included gymnastics, swimming & etc.) All in all, Nina was just a young, naive girl in the cruel, ruthless world of the megacorps. Being purposedly left in the dark regarding what the company was doing with her technology, for a relatively long time, she didn't really care that much. It wasn't like she didn't suspected her technology was being used in weapons (she even designed some weapons herself in her free time) but she never expected it would come back to bite her one day. 

For a long time, Nina managed to live away from the dirt and corruption that were everywhere. Protected by the very megacorp she worked at as a way to keep her just as naïve and oblivious to what was happening and simply continue creating new tech, she only came to realize that there was something wrong when she was kidnapped one day when she was on her way to the work and ordered to reveal the secrets of her technology to a rival megacorp under gunpoint. Obviously, to have such valuable information given to others would potentially mean the downfall of any corp. So instead of trying to save Nina, they instead... tried to silence her by sending a samurai to get rid of her by exploding the building she was being kept hostage at.

The assassination was believed to be successful, resulting in a big explosion that was masked as an accident related with fuel/gas. Unknowingly to the samurai, Nina was somehow... still alive. Awakening after a long time unconscious, she found herself barely alive, bleeding profusely and unable to stand up. In shock, Nina tried to shout for help, but nothing came out from her mouth. Crawling her way out of the ruined building, she tried her best to get some help, but she passed out due to the blood loss the moment she got out of it. 

Some time passed and she found herself waking up in a hospital bed. Fortunately for Nina, she somehow managed to survive, but not without grave injuries. Metal shrapnel and the explosion itself completely ruined her legs beyond repair, severing nerves and breaking her femur to multiple pieces. Multiple metal fragments had also penetrated her chest. Amongst them, two became deeply lodged within her heart, damaging it and making it able to work only with a fraction of its previous efficiency. Although she was not in risk of dying anymore, her condition was still... very bad. Walking was simply impossible due to her wounds and any physical effort would quickly cause further complications due to her debilitated heart.

The following months after the accident were incredibly tough for Nina. With her own body ruined, she spent all her savings in the black market. Getting tech now that she wasn't affiliated with a megacorp anymore and was believed to be dead wasn't that easy. After some time, Nina managed to rebuild her legs and replace her heart. Finally after months of agonizing mental and emotional torture, Nina could finally feel 'whole' again. All the nerve wrecking stress that had piled up those months was finally going away. But that wasn't the end of all that. Nina couldn't go back to her old life anymore. She wasn't supposed to be alive and she had just enough credit to feed her for a few month after all the modifications... The only two things she knew to do were parkour and gymnastics and being a cybernetic specialist. Selling her tech on the black market wasn't an option because she was afraid someone would recognize who she was so she turned to the only alternative that she had found... Working as an information runner... She knew that being an information runner in the underworld was a dangerous job, so she started training on how to defend herself. Unarmed combat by using her new legs and her speed, hand to hand combat with knife and marksmanship with the crossbow of her own design. 

After all that happened, Nina wasn't a naïve, defenseless girl anymore... The accident, being kidnapped and living in the underworld changed her. She knew how cruel the world could be and she would do whatever she needed to do to survive. Little by little, she became known as a very reliable information runner, able to deliver even dangerous and highly sought after packages. The few people who tried something funny to her also were quickly dispatched, making those who knew her to not let her cheerful behavior and pretty face to fool them.

𝚆𝚎𝚊𝚙𝚘𝚗(𝚜):
» Combat Knife

A normal, military type combat knife. Extremely sharp and reliable, but other than that, no special features.

» Custom made Crossbow 
Semi auto, magazine fed crossbow built by Nina herself. The custom made parts and the exotic design makes it easy to wield and move around with. Silent, accurate and deadly, it boasts an unusually long range for a crossbow, being possible to use it even in long range shots without loss of accuracy due to the elongated barrel. All in all, it resembles a weird hybrid between a rifle and a crossbow.

𝙰𝚛𝚖𝚘𝚞𝚛:
» Lightweight armor plating resembling a suit. Aiming to offer a good protection without weighting down the user.

𝙲𝚢𝚋𝚎𝚛ware:

Speedware (Sandevistan) reflex booster + Boostmaster.
Muscle & Bone Enhancement (Grafted muscle, bone and muscle lace.)
Variable-Chambered Heart & Hemological Replacement.
Gyro-Stabilizer.
Bio-cybernetic legs (Made/modified by herself, based off speeding bullet legs) & Talon feet.

» Cyberware Explanation 
 
Focusing more in speed and agility than brute strength, the main point of her bodily modifications is to further enhance what she was so proud of before suffering the accident that ruined her legs: her agility, dexterity, balance and speed. The talon feet give her legs a surprisingly high combat capability while also helping her to climb & run through difficult terrain. 

The custom made legs are part cybernetic, part biologic. No one knows why she didn't just amputated her legs and simply made a fully cybernetic legs, some say it was just a whim. Maybe as a way to say she didn't completely loose her legs and technically, they were still her original legs, which she was so proud of.

While her legs aren't affected by EMPs or jamming due to their bio-tech design, they are significantly 'harder' to repair than normal cybernetic legs due to how complicated their construction is, requiring something akin to an 'operation' (unfortunately, Nina is basically the only one who knows how they were built so it's improbable that others can fix them). The fact that her own blood runs through the bio cybernetic legs only make things worse, as blood loss can and will be a problem if left untreated. The light armor she uses on her legs protect her against some things, but anything bigger than a handgun will probably go straight through them.

Thanks to her variable chambered heart, hemological replacement and relatively fast metabolism, especially when running, toxins, poisons and drugs are incredibly effective on her, acting and spreading much faster on her body. Lack of oxygen can also become a problem to Nina, especially on areas with too much smoke.

PS: @SleepingSilence What's the anime  on your sig? O_O looks so freaking awesome lol
