Just going to reserve this 'cause I might need it later.
Name:
You should know what to do here.

Appearance:
Written or pic, I don't care; if it's big put it in a spoiler.

Cliches:
Your skillsets from before or during your employment with Steelhead Inc. Keep 'em appropriately cyberpunky, stuff like Hacker, Wheelman, Ex-Military, Chiphead, Razorboy/girl, Anarchist Revolutionary, Info Broker, Cyberfetishist, JUNKER, Replicant, Bunraku, Deliverator, Courier, Gambler, Mob Soldier, Yakuza, Corp Drone, Space Jamaican, Datavault, Urban Brawler, Fight Clubber, Fixer, Go-Ganger, etc.

How You Got Here:
Tell us how you joined up with Steelhead Inc. Are you a hostage whose ransom was never payed? A military officer on the run from his dark past? A hacker who pissed off the wrong people? Feel free to put extra stuff, but mostly I just want how you joined up with these guys.
November 6, 2032. Ten thousand people are taken hostage by the world's most popular commercial VMMORPG- if they die in the game, a microwave pulse will fry their brain, killing them instantaneously. The culprit: Programming prodigy and known cyberterrorist ENKI. Why he has done this, no one knows. The authorities have begun a globe-spanning manhunt for the genius programmer- a hunt which, so far, has turned up nothing. Tensions rise as the search continues, with several of the developers lynched outside of their homes.
This isn't their story, though.
No, this story begins in Seattle, Washington- at the headquarters of Steelhead Incorporated, a loose network of burnt-out hackers, cybernetic mercenaries and disgruntled wageslaves who will do just about anything for the right price. Yes, the (sometimes) brave and (often) unscrupulous men and women of Steelhead Inc. has just been offered a new contract. Their mission: Track down and kill ENKI by any means necessary.

IMPORTANT STUFF:
  • Standard RP rules, you know the drill

  • We'll be using Risus as our ruleset. Don't worry, it's only only 4 pages

  • Make sure you have an Orokos account since we can't do dice.

  • Please don't make characters with more than 4 dice in a single cliche; it makes encounters go on forever and they're a nightmare to balance.

  • Keep things cyberpunk. Orbital colonies are fine, but no space aliens and shit like that.

  • Try to keep your posts fairly short, like two or three paragraphs maximum for regular dialogue and the like. Long posts are a sometimes thing.

  • Use proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation, please. I won't actually do anything if you don't, but I'll probably be super passive-aggressive about it.

  • If you're gone for more than a week without notifying me first there is a possibility that your character will die a gruesome and ignoble death.

  • The tone of this RP is (hopefully) going to be tipped heavily towards Pink Mohawk, so feel free to go crazy.
  • Giant Coal-Powered Spider Tank.
    I might know a couple of guys who might want in. Mind if I ask them?
    The first film finished, but happily for the pair it had been a double feature. The conversation continued.
    "So, Big Bang, huh?"
    "I AM BIG BANG."
    "So is that a nickname or somethin'?"
    "WHO IS NICK?"
    "What a mean to say is- how do I put this... Is Big Bang your actual name?"
    "UH HUH."
    "So, what, is Bang your surname?"
    "IS HE A KNIGHT?"
    "No, I mean, do your family members have Bang in their names too?"
    "NO. EVERYONE ON CYBERTRON HAS A DIFFERENT NAME. MY NAME IS BIG BANG."
    "Gotcha. So what happens when two guys have the same name?"
    Big Bang pondered this.
    "I DON'T GET IT."
    "Well, I mean, there's probably a lot of you, right?"
    "NO, I AM THE ONLY BIG BANG."
    "A lot of Cyberlanians or whatever. Point is, what happens when two guys have the same name?"
    "YOU MEAN LIKE IF THERE'S ONE NAMED STARSCREAM AND THERE IS ALSO ANOTHER NAMED STARSCREAM?"
    "Yeah, exactly. What happens?"
    "I DUNNO. I GUESS ONE OF THEM CHANGES HIS NAME?"
    "So it never occurred to you guys to use more than one name?"
    "THERE'S LOTS OF NAMES. SIXGUN, LINKAGE, VIBRATOR, SKIDMARK..."
    "Wow. Skidmark? Really?"
    "THAT WAS HIS NAME."
    "Jesus."
    "NO, I DON'T THINK I EVER MET HIM."
    What, exactly, have I done that is so terrible?
    Ah, it appears that we were both wrong on stats, in fact. I apologize, my sources were faulty.
    Good to know that you're so open to discussion. Excellent debate tactics.
    What's even the point of putting in stats if you're going to do this? Have you ever actually played pokemon?
    Actually, judging from your last post you're random rolling everything and it's fairly clear you haven't thought this through at all.
    Wait, no, hold up.
    The stats are all wrong. It isn't possible to have a Diglett with less than 95 Speed, among other things. Where are you even pulling these numbers from?
