either one is fine, Mr. Johnson sent out a video message recruiting runners, so whoever answers the call are the ones that are in. If multiple deckers show up the group may have to hire someone for muscle etc. We will work it out in RP :)

Background:
UCAS CRIMINAL #AE958T - Sarah "Collateral" Carmine

Subject first appeared on the radar of local law enforcement by being identified as a collaborator in a series of violent attacks on various corporate clients. Her subsequent capture and incarceration yielded no results beyond a momentary pause in the systematic harassment of the targeted victim corporations. #AE958T divulges only that she was paid to orchestrate bombings, vandalism and general mayhem. Subject also suggests that she finds the job fun, and that they deserve it, hinting at a possibly extreme anti-corporate agenda or psychopathic behavioral characteristics.

After 16 months of incareration and warehouse manufacturing labour, #AE958T is released into the custody of Aztechnology alongside 27 other long-term criminals, as dictated by A.L93.4, Section 5.1, regarding the purchase of prisoners as part of the Criminal Rehabilitation Program.

10 months later, witnesses attribute a hostage situation at a Seattle Stuffer Shack, wherein two hostages are found dead upon law enforcement response, to someone with #AE958T's likeness. Collected evidence later corroborates her involvement. Aztechnology suggest that the matter is being handled internally and waive the opportunity for a joint operation.

Local law enforcement and several Ares database employees register rumoured sightings and involvements in everything from attacks on corporate clients, to random acts of street violence. #AE958T's street name "Collateral" faces momentary spikes of popularity on monitored MATRIX locations. Law enforcement informants confirm that #AE958T is back in Seattle, committing crimes for credits. Allegedly #AE958T also favours anti-corporation rallies and events, though no evidence can be found to back this.
The destruction of Nanting Plaza & Mall, in which four Ares employees lose their lives and zettabytes of important data are reported permanently lost, is attributed to #AE958T and a Redmond gang called 'Viper Wyrms' by witnesses and evidence found at the scene. Ares security forces find no trace of #AE958T at the gangs' headquarters, but her involvement is corroborated by a cooperating metahuman.

Aztechnology refuse to comment on the status of #AE958T.

What qualifies you for this position?

That's a pretty simple question. I got what it takes. I don't ask questions, I do what you pay me to do, and I don't run my mouth. You need protection, wetwork, defamation, data collection. Whatever. I will get it done. I don't get trigger happy or run off to do something nosy. Unless, of course, that's what you're paying me for.

I know what I'm doing, and I'm not going to insult either of us by making a fuss. If you want to go with someone less capable, that's up to you. When you want the real deal, I'm ready as soon as you need me.

Marco

Name: Mark "Marco" Sullivan
Race: Human
Age: 27
Class: Physical Adept
Weapons:
(* indicates he commonly carries this item. Everything else tends to be stashed)
- * Browning Ultra-Power, ambidextrous safety and trigger work done, parts ground down and otherwise replaced to make it easier to clear from a holster; tritium replacement sights. Laser sight removed.

- * Cougar Fineblade, Short
- * Shock Gloves
- Yamaha Pulsar
- Nacrojet Lethe Pistol

Tech(niques):
- Improved Reflexes 2 (3 Essence)
- Killing Hands (.5 Essence)
- Motion Sense (.5 Essence)
- Astral Perception (1 Essence)
- Counterstrike (.5 Essence)
- Combat Sense (.5 Essence)

Equipment:
- * Kelmar Secure Ultra-Vest, worn for normal situations
- Pre-paid telecom, earplug unit.
- Pocket Secretary
- Hands free comm unit, medium range, subvocal mic (external)
- Private Computer Display Sunglasses
- Global Positioning System
- AZT Micro20 Microportacam
- One Redmond Barrens hideyhole apartment (Small, Low-Class, 250Y/M, pre-paid for six.) Much of his run equipment is cached here, including the weapons.
- One Bellevue Apartment (Medium, Middleclass, 600Y/M, pre-paid for 1mo rent + Security deposit)
- Workout equipment
- Wardrobe, ranging from casual to one good suit. He also has sweats and track wear.
- Limited ammunition supply.

Background:
Born to a low-income mixed Irish-Italian family in New Jersey, he expressed awakened abilities when he was age sixteen and in high school. While his parents weren't rich, they did manage to keep him out of trouble and steered him toward the various programs for awakened individuals in the school system. Through these programs, Sullivan quickly was eyed up by corporate recruiters and the UCAS military as physical adepts were highly in demand because they didn't require cyberware. Eventually, Knight-Errant offered the young man the best prospects, in his mind, so he took their offer.

Knight-Errant, specializing in corporate security contracts, put Sullivan through their training program and then started assigning him to site security; he performed well enough, particularly in being able to look into the astral, which gave a useful heads up for security in shadowrunner incidents. This talent paved the way into contracts for executive protection as part of a personal security detail, eventually being assigned to one of the better short term, high risk contract teams that dealt primarily with foreign dignitaries and high-profile corporate employees. While on a detail for a Tan Tien Project Lead named Tseng Shang Lao, the detail supervisor, Mike Dorner, betrayed corporation and comrades to facilitate Dr. Lao's extraction to an unknown corporation, leaving the rest of the detail burned.

In the aftermath of the debacle, heads rolled at Knight-Errant, and Sullivan's was one of them. He found himself out of a job, despite a good work record, though with a wad of hush money in his pocket. Other corps, including Lone Star, weren't interested in making a hire, so he started to jump the other way as a means to pay the bills in accordance with the lifestyle he expected.

Psych Profile:
Having been burned once, Sullivan went into shadowrunning knowing that the unexpected is just around the corner. He scrutinizes things -- he takes a look before he leaps in. He also tries to leave a minimal trail. He isn't motivated by politics, he's in it for the money, but he also knows that reputation counts, having had his burned in the corporate world already. In the shadows, he is accordingly cautious but also knows that getting the job done is paramount.

What qualifies you for this position?
Skillset, calm nerves and a low-profile, professional approach. You need at least one sane person on any given team.

Date: 01 February 2063

Greetings shadowrunners. My name is Mr. Johnson. I am hiring a new runner team. I work for a corporation which at this time shall not be named. Jobs will be paid for in either tech or your choice of credits. Jobs may require extensive travel which will be managed by me. You will have access to an account with a small amount of funding for mission completions. Runners must be able to complete missions to their entirety, with no qualms or second guesses. Missions will include espionage, assassinations, and other activities that will require you to man up. If this sounds like your kind of job please answer the questions below on my video feed. After the selection process I will have you meet your team members at an undisclosed location and give you your first set of orders.

Game Info:
Mr. Johnson has sent out a video message on the matrix to several runners. Your reply to his message will be your CS. Once several CS's are approved I will post the first IC post. The group will begin operations around Renton in Seattle. Mr. Johnson is a handler for Lonestar Corp which is a subsidiary or umbrella corporation of Horizon. The Renton area is a quiet community during the day with an undercurrent of anti meta-human and gang activity at night. There has been alot of open violence between the gangs lately and the corporations have been forced to hire more police officers to quell the unrest. Currently Lonestar holds the police contract. Using the hiring of police officers as a cover, Mr. Johnson is building a team of Shadow Runners for running missions.

GM Stuff:
Okay guys & gals here's the deal; Shadowrun is awesome! just had to get that out there. If you're not familiar with Shadowrun I've placed a link at the bottom of this post with information about it, it's a great read whether you're familiar with Shadowrun or not. I'm going to be a little picky with the characters, because I want this RP to succeed. With that being said whenever you fill out your CS or application; the more details you use the better chances you have of being accepted. Please answer the question [What qualifies you for this position?] as if you were on a video feed, talking about your character. If you're used to creating Shadowrun characters these will level 1 or 2 characters. The premise is that Mr. Johnson is building a new team and will be testing their skills through lesser missions before trusting them to the bigger ones. If you have made it this far in my ramblings thank you! If you have any questions or comments or comments please PM me or come see me in chat. #Shadowrun

CS Notes
1. Please keep in mind these are lower level starting characters
2. Magic is uncommon (Not everyone will be able to use magic)
3. Tech is very common so slot up
4. Starting characters will have 50,000 Y (which assumes they have already had some experience running)
5. Shadowrunning is dangerous and illegal in some cases, it isn't something the common person would do, so have a good background.
6. Your money is for rent and equipment we will assume you have food and necessary expenses

Gameplay
1. If you have contacts, I will help you with those through PM
2. The forum RP will mostly be for RP-ing missions
3. If you want to RP you char between missions in the Matrix or whatever we can RP that through PM
4. If you have the ability to see through walls or things like that that your teammates do not I will PM you the extra info before you post

The Beasts Within

Bear stood with his arms across his chest and his axe back on his back. He listened to the squabbling between the two. Standing there he ran his fingers through his hair and turned to let the slight breeze blow across his face. Taking a deep breath he caught a new scent on the wind. Sweat, body odor, and fresh blood. There was a small village a few kilometers north of the woods. A new scent was in the air now something his animal instincts couldn't stand. Smoke.

Bear fell forward onto his hands as his arms and legs grew similar to a bear, growling low he barked out roughly, "Humans coming, they smell like smoke and blood. I think they attacked another village."

He moved towards the oncoming bandits knowing they'd have only a few minutes before they'd arrive. He stood up once more, now closer to 7 feet tall and looking more like a bear than human. He pulled the axe off of his shoulder and readied himself for a fight.

Standing there Bear realized he had just revealed his true nature to the small man and the girl. "Well either they'll run and scream, or try to turn me in. I may have to fight them and the bandits," he thought to himself."

He called over his shoulder, "You two better run now and forget you saw me this way, I will hold off the bandits long enough for you to get away, they travel in small packs of 5 - 10 men. Besides it's probably me they're hunting for anyway."
