Is there some limit to the amount of cybernetics we can allocate? I just wonder since Gideon's loaded up to the teeth. I haven't looked through all of the rulebook, though.

Yeah, Gideon (according to the game rules) seems like he'd have gone bat-shit insane multiple times over. They have a term for it in the books that I can't remember, but after you get enough cybernetics installed you'll just go crazy and turn into a killing machine. Until the special cops that hunt down them down find them, disable all their cybernetics, and put them through loooong therapy sessions. He could have all those within the rules, but he would've been with a shrink for a long while afterwards. I'm not sure about pierce's limitations on cybernetics.

that really was mostly a game mechanic so people aren't really doing that sort of thing

but if you want, I´ll cut down on some cybernetics if they are a problem? JUst wanted to be a human swiss army knife from MORDOR

I ain't got a problem with it. If anything, it should be an incentive to give him a WIDE berth. My character I'm working on has only a few cybernetics, but I will use them to the best of my ability, no matter how limited it may be. Also, It should be noted that all information about your character will available to various police R&I divisions. Should you get into some trouble with the law, know that a proportionately equally sized/skilled force will be hunting you to turn you in or take you out. Remember that.

He's a does corporate espionage for a living, he keeps his head low.

Cool. Also, what do the people what as a starting location? I thinking Night City, CA (a "recently" founded coastal city in between San Francisco and Los Angeles).

I don't own any of the sourcebooks. Where/what is that exactly?

Edit: Also, @WitchChild, do you want to be my Co-GM?

3. Age: 26

4. Gender: Male

5. Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual

6. Occupation: Private Investigator


7. Appearance:


8. Psyche Profile (Personality): Laconic; no-nonsense attitude; for being a more-or-less good person, has very cynical view on the world he lives in.


9. Relationships (Friends & Family): Just an ex-girlfriend named Macy Dailey and the unlikeliness of his parents that are still alive.

10. Skills: Skilled hand-to-hand combatant, specifically in the ways of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu; Competent runner (useful for chasing suspects), Experienced gunman with pistols and shotguns, surprisingly intelligent without the help of neural cybernetics.

11. Weapons & Equipment: Refurbished Colt 1911 (1991 Model) – .45 ACP, 7+1 round capacity, good stopping power (comparable to most future weapons), very accurate, basic design = easy to clean/repair (parts are hard to find, however)

12. Cybernetics: Just a few ocular enhancements: Several vision modes (Ultraviolet, Thermal, Infrared, and Low-Lite™ imaging), Digital camera, and an experimental Forensic Analysis program.

13. Biography: Born in a time when the economy was taking a turn for the worse, it’s safe to say that Tyler’s childhood was not an easy one. Then again, in that time, no ones’ was. While the rich got richer, the poor started starving. In his teenage years, he got into robbery and stealing in order to not go hungry. After getting “made” on what was supposed to be a simple snatch-n-grab job, his career in criminality was done and dusted. He had to serve his time for doing the crime; that time was five years in CSPLAC (California State Prison, Los Angeles County). Since his release, he has been trying to absolve himself of his past indiscretions.

4. Gender: Female

5. Sexual Orientation: Asexual

7.2.1. B.M.I. %: 22%
7.3. Nationality/Ethnicity: Caucasian
7.4. Clothing Style: Prefers formal corporate wear in black/light greys, though she has been known to wear slacks and vests from time to time. Also she holds a particular fondness for scarves.

8. Psyche Profile (Personality): Despite the straight face she keeps up on the streets to avoid unwanted attention, Elizabeth is a rather sanguine woman, and the life of the office. Though she can not deny that things are not as good as they should be, she lobbies with her higher-ups to get their excess profits spent on charities, rather than corporate bonuses. However, the stress of her job, and the lack of trust it often affords her, have caused a bit of strain on her mental faculties. Mills is prone to bouts of paranoia, going so far as to have accused the security programs of working for the runners, having them deleted and replaced with new programs.

8.1. Motivations: The knowledge that the work she does keeps the company safe, and the hope that one day the corporations will find the morality of regular men, since corporations are people too.

9. Relationships (Friends & Family): Estranged from her family because of distance and hard-feelings, and far too absorbed in her work for relationships, Elizabeth finds herself alone more often than she would like to admit. But she remains positive, knowing that the friends she makes within her office will one day be enough to fend off loneliness.

10. Skills: Proficient at navigating corporate servers and server security. Competent at using her small armaments, though she routinely visits the company firing range trying to master the bulky rifle she carries around.

11. Weapons & Equipment: A high-powered rail-rifle, property of Weyland Munitions, which she has no proficiency with and uses for show to keep shady types at bay. A light machine pistol and high-caliber semi-automatic pistol, property of Weyland Munitions, which she keeps in holsters on her right thigh and the left side of her chest, respectively, should the rifle not be enough to scare thugs away.

12. Cybernetics: Canisters of pepper spray within her wrists (Similar to Scarecrow), as well as basic neural implants to speed her ability to process information and improve her reaction time.

13. Biography: (Work in progress)

Uhm....sure. Why not?

Also, I was just joking. Megacity One is a city in the Cyberpunk world of Judge Dredd that stretches across almost the entire east coast

Ah... well, I feel like an idiot... :/

Ok, my sheet is essentially done but he bio is only partially done. I should be home in an hour or so, then I'll post it and then finish the bio.

Can I get a little help with my bio? Back story is one of my weaker areas >.<

Ok, personality and bio coming later. Sorry it's taking so long.

1. Username: Strangelander

2. Name: Wren "Snow" Amherst

3. Age: "Is that important to the story?" She's 24

4. Gender: Female

5. Sexual Orientation: "Nothing to do with the story... But that's not to say I'm not interested." If she see's anything worthwhile in a person, man or woman, she might be interested.

6. Occupation: Freelance (Sometimes Video) Journalist and Blogger (Mostly works for an independent news organization on the Net)
6.1 Role: Media

7. Appearance: The two things about Wren that stand out the most are her skin and her eyes. Being albino, her skin is whiter than paper and her eyes are a striking red color. She refuses to have anything done about this since she thinks it adds to her personal style. Wren wears her hair slightly above shoulder level and kind of wild.
7.1. Height: 5'9"
7.2. Weight: 157
7.2.1. B.M.I. %: "Well look at that, 22. Aren't I just a fit little cookie?" She's rather fit from all that running around.
7.3. Nationality/Ethnicity: Caucasian
7.4. Clothing Style: She dresses to be prepared. Her clothes often contain many pockets and places to stash things, and she almost always wears her press pass around her neck. She almost always wears a plain gray jacket lined with pockets and the letters NCUN on her arm, right below her shoulder.

8. Psyche Profile (Personality): (“Are you fucked in the head at all?”)
8.1. Motivations: "Everyday's another story."
8.2. Morality: "Story first. Always." She's good at heart, but she is very dedicated to getting the story out, especially if it screws over the corps or gangs, even if it can mean doing some bad stuff...

9. Relationships (Friends & Family): "Dead. All dead. Next question?" In reality, her father is still alive, though they're not on speaking terms... Her mother is dead from drug complications. She's an only child.

10. Skills: Wren has a knack for finding things, whether it's something everbody else has just looked over or a piece of information on the Net. She's handy with a handgun, and suprisingly sneaky(not everybody wants to get caught on camera!).

11. Weapons & Equipment: She carries a Miltech Electronics Taser and a Miltech Arms Avenger, both hidden in a light armored jacket emblazoned with the logo for Night City Underground News Network (Or NCUN, the second N is cut to stick with the 4 letter format even if that still doesn't make it the correct...)/ She also has her trusty video camera (the NCUN isn't exactly 'professional', but they get the job done. Most of their stuff is written anyways, with the videos to supplement it.) and a laptop for editing, uploading and all that jazz. She also has a press pass, to do press things.

12. Cybernetics: None, though she carries smart goggles that have

13. Biography: (“So, What’s your story?”)

A colorful roster of characters we have. Yes, yes.

When do you all what to begin? I've decided that the starting location will be in Night City, CA (not in the same building, however). What your character's business is in this town is your decision.

up to you

Night City is fine by me, I'm doing a quick once over of the history part of the handbook, then onto my bio.

Boop

HOLY PIGSHIT!!! Everyone is a unicorn!
