Well since I don't know how to play a shedim or if I should even I am going to post with my 'runner' runner lol.

[kv]

A shedim is an evil possession spirit that likes to inhabit corpses. They came out of the rift around the same time that Ghostwalker showed up, so who's to say that one didn't get caught in his astral wake and end up in Denver?

Shedim like to inhabit corpses, animate them, and use the memories of the host while hiding behind masking- in story terms, you are alive (again), feel free to use your updated stats, and the shedim will keep you alive. Basically, you can die over and over, the shedim will patch the holes and bring you back.

I always just assumed shedim=bad and that you beccame an NPC shortly there after.  Hmmm going to have to read now also wouldn't my paranormal hunting friends be able to figure out that I may no longer be all warm and fuzzy now; well maybe fuzzier?  Also how would this effect bound items since I am pretty sure my aura went through a very drastic change?

[Ruski]

Would have to re-bind items, and yea: most shedem have masking that keeps astral onlookers from figuring out what happened... but you would look different, (as you are now someone else)...
Then again, my PC didn't know you that well before, and until someone paid him to exterminate you, he wouldn't really care. He doesn't have a vendetta against the paranormal, making them less bothersome is just his day job.

[kv]

We can skip over the nitty-gritty of re-binding all the foci and convincing the friends and family of Kinsey that he's not a souless being from the Beyond that wants to eat them, and just enjoy the story (and the immortal Kinsey- feel free to have fun with it).

My thinking here is that I'll have very limited time to post for the near future- I was posting on my lunchbreak, which I would spend with my wife (we used to work together), but now she's staying home with our new baby (Code Name: Violence), and I don't have access to a computer at lunch. I also have those awesome sleep patterns associated with a newborn, so even when I am home and having the access to the internet, I don't always have the will- and the will I do have, I have to split between all the plates I have spinning in the air. I have told my games at Mythweavers that I'll be taking a baby-related hiatus, and that's the plan for the immediate future, but we'll see how much further I need to pare down before this solution becomes workable.

More on this situation as my mental health degenerates!

In any case, I'll post another excerpt to kick off the next 'story' in the main thread, which will become more fun and less about the strictest interpretation of the rules, and just stick with the story format that's more fun to write. I know Ruski is busy, but he's promised to stop in and put together a yarn for our enjoyment.

I also owe Bull and Bulletsponge their own private threads, which will continue along a more game-oriented and rules-using trajectory, so that if/when we finally to get back into the Denver Missions, we'll be able to continue using these characters (if you want). If that's like a year from now, we'll stop and take a quick gauge of who wants to use what characters, and go from there.

I still owe a solo-thread to Bull (I debated adding Bulletsponge to Bull's, but it seems like with BS's limited connectivity, it would only serve to slow the thread down), and I have a plan for it, I just have to sit down in a state of non-baby-induced-torpor and write it.

You'll probably notice when that happens.

Hey everyone,

I had a chance to post something today, so I did. I know Shadowrun lingo can be a little hard to get a handle on- so I thought I would post a list of a few helpful guides, and that will give you a chance to figure out what the hell I'm talking about.

http://www.intercom.net/user/logan1/glossary.htm

http://gaming.thecasavants.com/SRIII/srterms.htm#SlangTerms

There's some overlap there, but you get the idea.

I'll repost this in it's own thread in here, so that it'll be easier to find for those of you who want to reference it often. I'll also say that I'm not trying to offend anyone with the generic southern slang, I just wanted to introduce an NPC that's from the Mission Arc, and I figured it would be a good idea to have her memorable.
I'm using this guide for her slang: http://littlerock.about.com/cs/southernlife/a/aasouthslang.htm

Bull, I haven't forgotten you, it's just that the new baby has sucked up some <all> of my free time, and left me with a very limited amount of time that I can use a computer- basically, whenever I can squat on a computer while at work, which is rarely; or when I get a chance to post from home (even more rarely).

Your solo thread will be called "Long Night," and I hope the cool name makes up somewhat for its lateness.

Okay I will be honest I don't like the direction Kinsey went.  Flat out I don't like playing anything closely related to dead.  If I did I still be playing Vampire on other boards.  So Kid you can go ahead and delete that thread as I don't want to participate in it.  Sorry for making you go through the trouble it just not me.  I am still around I will still bounce back and forth on the boards but until we are all back together I don't think I will be posting to often in the RP board.

[kv]

Okay, I got my update in for Bulletsponge.

Bull, did you still want to run Kinsey, or try the new character? I don't mind, either way, I'll just have to adjust the hookup for your story.

[bull30548]

New character please the runner if you don't mind I think that be the easiest one to findd a way to hook up.  I have about a month left to go with school including finals.  Then hopefully a job somehow over the summer.  Next fall I am going to be getting my ass pretty well kicked with 17 hours worth of classes.

[kv]

The shedim thing wasn't meant to be literal- I wasn't trying to change your character, just trying to explain why your character kept coming back to life (as Shedim are known to do for their hosts). It was just a plot device to amuse myself.

Anyway, we can throw Hastiget into the fire just as well- we'll be using the same hook, and Hastiget will be getting a call from Tatiana, who tells him that Kinsey referred her.

Kinsey, Tatiana (real name Natalia) and her problems have been forwarded to Hastighet.

Feel free to pretend that Kinsey and Hastighet know each other- or that the new character has no idea who she's talking about, but is happy to help the hot woman out of a jam.

I'll have time to post tonight- and I'll take another crack at the character with Chummer, see if I can figure out if there's a problem on my end. I do occasionally make characters with the custom ruleset, and it's hard to remember to switch it back when I'm done.

Edit: I didn't get to this like I wanted, but I should have time tonight.

Hi everyone, just wanted to plop down a "hi!"

And congrats to KV once more (in case I haven't dropped him a congrats yet, I honestly don't remember)!
