But....~points to cake~ Isn't that a bit...you know...dishonest?

Unlikely Heroes

Congratulations!

Shadowrun: Hiring new runners

I've been quietly watching this topic and I have kept my silence until now, but...I really love Shadowrun. I don't want to screw it up. The "official rulebook" has always kind of spooked me. In all honesty, the best knowledge I have of Shadowrun came from the Genesis and SNES game carts. If there can be a place for me here, I'd love to throw down. I just don't want to be a wrench in the monkey-works.

So...what's good?

Unlikely Heroes

Oh, the interaction; I love it!

Sam: ~more concerned with tech than survival~
Adam: "Uh...excuse me. Bleeding? Remember? Yes? Little help?"

Unlikely Heroes

Sam curled her fingers around the hair pin and gave Jenna the smirk of the victorious; the kind you give when you know you got what you wanted and you know there's nothing that can be done about it. For the first time in her memory, she had the ability to do something about her situation. Of course, with her head swimming from its unexpected intersection with the inner wall of a moving vehicle, she had no way of knowing how shortlived that victory would be.

"Kidnap me..." she muttered angrily as she worked to bend the hair pin into the correct shape.

"Shoot me full of tranqs..." The outer casing of the surveillance device popped open under pressure from the edge of the hair pin, exposing its circuitry.

"Bounce me off a wall and chase me out into the woods..." A small spark and a thin wisp of grey smoke signaled the end of the bug's life. She made certain to short the terminals for its power supply, rather than its more important components, just on the outside chance that it could be used in the future.

"How do you like me now?"

The Facility (Interest Check)

I will await the OOC before I complete my concept. Trying to make a character before I know the rules would be...well, kind of pointless, actually. I want to make sure I don't step on any toes.

Definitely still interested.

EDIT: Also...Mantis Shrimp? I didn't say anything before, because I wasn't sure how to word it, but...that has got to be the most unique power I have ever seen. I've seen people get shapeshifting into animal forms, and I've seen people get enhanced strength/speed, but never something so targeted and so...unexpected. I kind of want to see that done. You have intrigued me, sir.

Wrath: I'm planning on having there be a primary power, secondary power system. Primary powers are like TK or Pyrokinesis, Super-Strength etc. Secondary powers are the enchanced and such. I'll explain it in the OOC.

I can make a case for more than two abilities, given the limitations I've placed on them. If it is necessary to have only two, I can change my concept to fit that. I am in the process of writing it out now.

EDIT: Actually, now that I see the Enhancements category, Peak Human Condition would eliminate the need for most of the other things I had on the sheet. I could theoretically create an Eidetic Kinesthesia/PHC character and still fit the criteria, if it's one main, one secondary.

The Facility (Interest Check)

Is there room for unique abilities, or should they all come from that Wiki? If it's the same one I've seen before, some of those powers can become "umbrella powers" very quickly, if not tightly regulated.

TK is also my favorite, but as it's reserved, I won't request it. I have always hated mirror matches.

So far I'm kind of leaning toward either Enhanced Senses or kind of a "physical adept" sort of thing.

EDIT: Still looking through the wiki, but so far I'm interested in taking "Eidetic Kinesthesia". Are we strictly limited to one power, or can a specific combination be used? As an example, the power I have chosen would make any person formidable...until they face someone like Colossus. Instant game-over.

If I may make a recommendation, I think that some of these powers are stronger -in some cases, by orders of magnitude- than others. It may make sense to group two or more lesser abilities and relegate the stronger abilities to one-per-character. It's your show, so do as you will. These are only my opinions.

EDIT+: What I'm thinking of now is a grouping of lesser powers with specific limitations. Many of the powers I've seen work in terms of absolutes, which seems kind of extreme to me. An example would be Enhanced Senses: I could see the character I have in mind having greater-than-normal hearing, but not to the level described in the Wiki. Picking up whispered conversation in a noisy room, yes, but not miles away.

If you'd like, I can prepare a concept sheet for you and PM it to you. Your character sheet will likely be different, when it's up, but that's fine. I have no problems with re-writing it. ^_^

The Facility (Interest Check)

Interested. Elaboration would help me to come up with a concept. Are you looking to take the story in any particular direction? What are the limitations and foci of the powers involved?

I have several superhuman concepts in mind, all of which are negotiable as to scope and application. It would depend greatly upon how you want this to go. I'm looking forward to hearing more about it.

My mate gets migraines. They're no joke. She sometimes loses her vision and can't form simple words. One time, she actually forgot my name. It's pretty hard to deal with, but thankfully rare.

Hope you get well soon.
