Shadowrun Down Under: Fantasy/Sci-fi

Despite Fashion’s freak out she was collected enough to suggest another plan. Degen mentally applauded the elf. From what little she knew of Fashion’s background doing this job was purposely doing everything she was ingrained not to do. But enough of that! The elf was on board and they were set on their plan.

The plan itself was pretty simple and Degen hung around a good distance from the fallen tree and behind cover. She was a more close range combatant so the only thing she could think of for a distraction was to probably knock down another tree and make a big noise if it came down to it. But the other option was to storm in when the others start their cover fire and the EMP…. Hmmm choices choices. Another obvious option was to gut a guy and have them scream loud. That’ll set the guards on edge and would be harder to take down. Oh, maybe a big thunderbolt? Loud and flashy, perfect for distractions. Degen ran her thumb over the hilt of her sword. Well whatever she decided on her knives will be the first to taste blood today.

Voice was an AI that devoured her maker… Degen let that sink in for a few moments as the others spoke. A tragic story, really it was and on some level she was sympathetic to this AI pseudo person. She herself couldn’t remember her own birth parents and the idea of knowing everything about them, to know them so well that in some ways you were another version of them, that was unfathomable. The Voice she knew, the one she has always known was the merger of an AI and a human woman, that was first. But they have been through enough that she knew Voice would come through for them.

For a brief moment, Degen thought of that man. She refused to think of his name or call him anything. He killed her family and took her as an apprentice of sorts. She grew to know him really well too but she decided to abandon him than to devour him. He still probably existed somewhere in this world. He was the sort that was too stubborn to die.

Vanessa began speaking and Degen pulled herself out her thoughts and paid attention. At least they have some sort of plan.

“So a mix of frontal assault and stealth, eh? I can work with that. Though you still haven’t mentioned anything about rewards or objectives. We have a plan to get in, once we’re in what are we supposed to do? And even if Saeder Krupp is blackmailing you to do this job, there has to be some good money in taking this right? I’ll help because I like Voice enough to do this, but I’m not working for free.”

Degen smiled and gently pinched Tallulah’s cheek. “Don’t think worry about the fighting, that’s my job.”

Degen turned her attention back to the group. “Avicus is right. There’s too many unknown factors and too little time to prepare. There will be bloodshed. I would rather catch them off guard and deal with them quietly. We don’t know their numbers, if they raise any sort of alarm it’ll be a slog to get through so many bodies.”

What Degen didn’t mention that both ideas were fine by her. She was use to assassination, but a full brawl would be interesting too.

Degen sauntered into the meeting room and greeted her team with a bright smile. She could see Vanessa’s visible distress even if the woman tried her best to hide it. Degen picked up the file and rifled through the papers.

Two days to complete this job? She noted any useful details from the files which wasn’t much. Two days on barely any intel and a potential dragon? The corners of her lips twisted into a brief frown. Sucks to have no preparation but that would make sneaking in that much more interesting. Stealth and infiltration would be a better approach then to swoop in and take heads.

She glanced up at Vanessa and then to Voice and Diesel. It was sweet how Vanessa cared about them and that is exactly how Saeder Krupp strong armed Vanessa and the team into taking this treacherous job. Caring about people gives others the ability to blackmail you. Degen didn’t miss the implication either. They had a secret big enough to force Vanessa’s hand and that secret involved Voice. She looked Voice over and turned her attention back to Vanessa.

“What’s the actual objective? Sneak in and what, gather intel, kill everything there?” Degen asked while tossing the files back onto the table.

Shadowrun Down Under: Fantasy/Sci-fi

Degen

Text color: #ABBFCE

Name: Degen

Race: Human

Age: 28

Gender: Female

Appearance:

Archetype: Street Samurai

Equipment:
Long katana- conductive to electricity
Forearm snap blades, survival knife, combat knife
Concealable kaleidoscope stun baton - for those jobs that need a minimum of blood
Noise canceling boots
reinforced gloves that can store/unleash kinetic energy,
Armor jacket

Cybernetics: (Keep in mind that any prosthetics dull your magical abilities if you have any)
Reinforced skeleton
Dense bones
Cybernetic eyes
Muscle augmentation
Muscle toner

Abilities, spells, etc.:
Lightning manipulation- usually in the form of channeling the lightning into her blades, she can also summon bursts and aim it enemies
Hand to hand combat - She’s known for her blade work but she’ll be happy to crush your skull underneath her boot too and she’s good at it too.
Blades- She really like them and knows how to use them.

Unique skill (2 max, what truly sets you apart from others of your archetype):
Stealth - Useful skill to sneak and hide and popping up behind a target and slitting their throat or slipping away during a chase.
Infiltration- Getting in and out of places is a speciality of hers. It's a very handy ability to steal or assassinate, whichever gets her paid

Personality:
Degen’s made of sugar, spice, and knives, lots and lots of knives. She’s friendly and enthusiastic in all situations from gutting a target to playing a round of cards with strangers. Her disposition and delicate looks put people off guard and she feels no need to correct them. She likes her job and testing herself against strong opponents. What she likes more is being able to use her blades to earn that money. Although not obsessed with money, she likes having it more than spending it.

Degen wouldn’t mind helping out someone as long as its not too much of a bother or costs her anything. She isn’t predisposed to senseless violence but if a job says to leave no witnesses she’ll do it without hesitation.

Bio:
Her parents were murdered and she was taken in by the street samurai who did it. The shadowrunner life is all she knows and she grew to love it. Her foster father trained her in his speciality which was blades. She loved and hated her foster father in such a way that her options were either to kill in or leave. After considering those options she left when he was off on another job. She packed up the necessities and her weapons and set off to Australia, as far away from him as possible.

As she established herself as a street samurai she found a mentor who specialized in hand to hand combat and firearms. She took to unarmed combat more than firearms but her first love will always be her sword.

I'm still interested. I'll move my CS

Shadowrun Down Under: Fantasy/Sci-fi

Let me know if I went overboard with equipment or abilities. I wasn't sure what the cut offs for those were. As for the unique skills, I assumed they were something they were especially good at? I was thinking that my street samurai can double down as an assassin with stealth and infiltration.

I'll tentatively claim the street samurai slot then.

I'm interested. I know a little about Shadowrun, but its difficult to make a CS without knowing what the classes can do. And I wanted to ask how will combat look like? I don't remember Shadowrun being a dice heavy game but I am interested in how the mechanics are handled in a post based game.

Oh no! Did I kill the rp? :(
