I fixed the smiley (it's under 'Attachments and other options' underneath the post window); I usually check that option if I have a bunch of stats, because you can never tell when a character like is going to turn into a smiley face.

A quick note, Yogi- the characters are supposed to be new to the Denver shadows (I started reading Parliament of Theives, in prep for the first run), so I'd appreciate it if you made your character's background from somewhere else, or made up some reason she's new to the shadows. Appreciate it.

Can do Kid.   It also gives me a reason to adjust her AK: Denver down to 1 from 3 allowing another knowledge skill. 

Background I have starts her off in Seattle.   

Have you had the chance to go over the character yet?   

[kv]

I've had two chances, but sadly I didn't manage to get to it either time.

My apologies, I'll try and look it over this weekend (I'll be up late tonight, owing that I have a real-life Shadowrun game tomorrow with friends).

Everyone else, can you please post a description of your character, what the other people would be able to tell by looking at you? I tried to do it more with my last post, but I'd appreciate a little help with the details, since I don't know what you're wearing or what colors they are, or if you want everyone to see your badass AR glasses.

No big deal.  If you use Chummer I can send you the Chummer file for Scarlet and you can look at it that way.  It might be easier and quicker. 

Background for Scarlet is up.

I'll try to get something written for Sylvester's description up by this evening.

Yogi: Looks good.
Have Scarlet make her grand entrance as though she were always expected.

Posted.  Wish I could fix some grammar mistakes and typos. 

One thing I did notice is that have the option to edit/remove my post on my iPod but not my pc.   It also seems that there is a time limit to edit ones post before it won't let you.

Hmm, you should be able to edit your own posts.  When viewing your post, above the text on the right should be a button labeled "Modify".  Obviously you'll need to be logged in with your account.  Are you using any kind of app or just the built-in browser?

Using the built in browser (safari) on my iPod and FF on my pc, (who uses IE anymore).

When I tried to modify on my iPod it said the time to modify the post had expired which I thought was weird.   

Right now I'm on my pc and the modify option is not there.   

Edit:

Correction it's there now but is that because it's within the time allowed to edit a post?

Edit again:

There's even a little wrench at the bottom of this post but other posts I have [reviously made do not have the option to modify them.

Kv, Scarlet drives a mercury comet not a motercycle.  No biggie but for future notice.   

[kv]

That's fine, I forgot that Galbraith/Bullet Sponge is already in the room, so I need to go make some edits anyway. A small thing to edit in, it just sounded like you were riding a motorcycle.

I'll be able to post on Friday (6/15), and we'll be able to continue from there. Rastire may be young, but she can hold her own- that's for sure. I'm looking forward to writing up her response.

I am curious, though, what's with all the 'be quick, you better not waste my time'? This is a scenario to test out your characters; much like Back to the Shack, it's meant to make sure you didn't have any monumental oversights or mistakes, or that you'll be able to do that cool thing you were planning on your character to do.

Ruski and I discussed just dropping you in media res, and starting the fight, but I like to run my games a little more open (just like I let you all show up to the Stuffer Shack on your own terms), so I was doing the same here. Basic premise is the same, though. You're all here and improbably loaded up with guns, and then there's a combat. The rest of this is just fluff.

Actually for me it sort of a test in my RPing skills is what I am doing here.   I need to work on them if I plan on running a SR game I am going to have to have a wear a lot of hats.  I haven't really thought about the cool thing to do with the character.

Sounds good.  I will have company in town this weekend.  Posting time may be spotty.

Hey Gary,

I was looking at the figures for initiative (since we'll be starting combat soon), and I noticed your post about armoring up. I thought you were just wearing the Armored Jacket and normal clothes, but I saw this:

Square my tab and head back to the apartment. Gear up.

Urban Explorer Jumpsuit w/ helmet (B6/I8)
covered by an Armored Jacket (B8/I6)
quick-draw holster for the Ares Predator IV on the right thigh
extra mags on belt
Gas Mask in its case on the left hip
Metal Restraints on back of belt
all the other combat gear (weapons, ammo, security gear) and a few days clothes staged in a duffle bag (w/shoulder straps) which gets put on like an oversized backpack. The sword handle and stock butt of the shotgun are in quick reach @ the top of the bag. Once across the border the sword will be slung over his left shoulder more or less under the bag to limit casual observation, but still allowing quick reach.

Activate "Chet Manly-security consultant" ID (lvl 4 fake SIN & license) & head for the border.

I included the whole section, so there's some context, but mostly I wanted to mention the armor.

Shadowrun's armor stacking rules are a little wonky, but the premise is that you can't just layer on rubber until you look like the Michelin Man without penalties to how quick your character can react. Everyone gets a 'buffer' of Body X 2; in Galbraith's case, that body of 6 gives him 12 points of 'wiggle room' before he starts taking penalties. By comparison, you've got him wearing 14 points of ballistic armor and 14 points of impact armor. That's way over his limit, which would mean he'd have a pretty substantial quickness penalty (which includes everything related to agility and reaction- including his world-class pistols skill and his initiative speed).

Also, the rules say that you only get the full benefit of the layer of armor closest to your skin- everything else gives half value, because the heaviest protection is over the same areas. So even though you'd have major penalties for wearing that much armor, you'd only get the armor rating of B10/I11. Still pretty substantial, but I wanted to make sure you were aware of it.
