Okay, I looked over your PM and I'm going to be frank (just don't call me Shirley), your CS holds me to a higher standard (you seem better versed than I in the lore and universe) and I appreciate that. Accepted.
The year is 2072 and the world is a stark, neon-drenched shadow of its former self. Following the Awakening in 2012, magic has returned to the world. Elves, Orks, Dwarves and Trolls have returned to the general populace, with incidents like Goblinization of 2021 causing humans to transform into Orks or Trolls seemingly at random. As if that weren't enough, megacorporations call the shots now, wielding the autonomy and power of small nations with the private security manpower to match. Inequality is rampant, freedom can be bought and civility is a memory. In a world where zebra meat is cheaper than coffee and corporate espionage is better funded than national intelligence agencies a Runner can either thrive or perish, living in the shadows as a glorified smuggler for hire. Depending on your scruples, you could deal in anything from data to drugs to human life if the nuyen is right. But a Runner is only as good as their team, and how good you are determines how long you live.
I've been hankering for a cyberpunk RP for a while and you know what they say; "If what you want doesn't exist, you're obligated to make it" or something along those lines.
This is just a basic interest check. The premise will be:
- Set in the year +2050.
- Looking for about 4-5 people for the runner team.
- For those unfamiliar with Shadowrun, it was originally a tabletop. It's now also a tactical turn-based RPG.
- Available races for players are Human, Elf, Ork, Dwarf and Troll.
- The world has gone to shit, but not the way you'd think. Corporations essentially run the show and hold extraterritorial jurisdiction.
- Magic is back.
- The USA no longer exists. Many of the southern states seceded, the Native Americans claimed most of the west (i.e the NAN, Native American Nation) and the rest of the USA consolidated with Canada to form the UCAS, or United Canadian and American States.
If anyone is interested, just let me know and we can get something going!
