Down and Out - Cyberpunk RP

@jasonwolf Ah. That makes sense.

Down and Out - Cyberpunk RP

@jasonwolfSo they'd be an agoraphobic NEET Shadowrunner? Hmmmm, that sounds pretty kickass to be honest.

@DeadDropYay! I'm glad you think so.

@vietmyke Yay! I was worried you were going to gut out magic since a lot of RP runners tend to due that. However I'm glad to hear that's not the case. Magic is where a lot of the mystery is at and provides a lot of diversity to enemies, encounters, and general intrigue.

Though now I'm torn between making a shaman and a street samurai...

The character concept I have in my head right now is a young street samurai with a bum leg in a mechanical brace and a really good cybernetic arm. The arm was supposed to be this crazy swiss army knife of an arm, but she bought it off the black market on the cheap and under less then legal circumstances. So it was gutted of all the fancy hardware it was supposed to have.

So she was left with a very strong right arm with knuckle blades...that wore down to glorified stubs because they were replaced with garbage.

Because of this she fights as an unarmed fight, opposed to using guns or a katana. Using her right arm to do some nasty stuff in melee combat. Strong in melee, but with vulnerable mobility due to her bad leg.

How does that sound? I feel it'd be a good start and leave lots of room for growth, since the arm was gutted and has plenty of space for all kinds of hardware.

Also if you control NPC vendors, barkeeps, est, I hope you can come up with actual food/shop menus and things like that. Something really appealing about buying meals in play by post games :3

@vietmykeI have a few questions.

Having low-power characters is fine, but will our characters get to grow as the story progresses? It's not a cyberpunk roleplay unless we get cool cybernetics and weapons to eventually purchase/steal and play with :P

Also since you brought up Shadowrun are there shamans/magicky type stuff?

I'm in the mood for some cyberpunk stuff myself, I'm game.

Here's just a quick reminder for the people who still need to post. @FrozenEcstasy already posted in OOC so I expect they'll post with Kerrigan when they can. Plus I understand school just started back up for a lot of people so there will be delays, difficulties, and more important things to do. Here are the people who need to post:

@Oddsbod- Tam Fiernas (who for some reason I thought was a girl until last night)
@lavulman- The Merchant AND Courier 6
@KaiserElectric- Poppy
@Megsychan- El Presidente! (though you might be super busy with school/other things too)

And I speak to all of you on Discord so you should all know I and this forum aren't dead :P

But yeah. No rush just felt the need to remind people because I'm excited and eager to do stuff of the mature duties of a moderator.

@DracoLunaris In other news I believe I found Lily's theme song :P

@DracoLunarisGood to hear. I'm glad that the roleplay is picking up pace and doing well too. Though I hope my hiatus didn't scare too many players off. :C

@EventuaLove your posts with Batter and Abe, Eventua.

The Batter section of the post really displays his warped mindset and it almost feels poetic in the way it's written. I really get the impression that the Batter could one day turn on the group which gives everything he says and does an unnerving, almost threatening edge. Fantastic job as always. I hope your (I'm assuming very busy) week goes well.

Also having Abe suggest scouting ahead is a really good idea. Abe, Quiet, and probably Kerrigan will make for great scouts.

As a general note I encourage players to take the actions they feel are best for their characters. You don't all need to stay together in one big group all the time (though sticking together has benefits I'd prefer it if people didn't run off to try and Rambo things all the time). Scouting ahead, checking the surrounding area in more detail, searching for loot, or seeds, or wildlife, setting traps, taking personal actions, est.

If you ever want a more detailed description of the surroundings, or want to ask questions about any note worthy areas, objects, things in the vicinity of your character then just ask here in OOC. I try to make my posts and maps are detailed as I can, but there are certain limitations to my ability.

So how is everyone today? Doing well I hope.
