Hat in the ring!
Hello Rat Queen,
I've been pulling together an app for a few days now. My friend, Yamaneko, suggested this might be a good game while our RL games are on COVID hiatus. I've been with Shadowrun since 1989 and 1st edition. That said, I am no rules monster and the RP is just an important as the setting and the rules. My philosophy with Shadowrun has always been that a team needs a collection of specialists that have secondary roles that support the team. Characters need to be really good (not necessarily min-max) at what they do, focused and effective. I'll post my, not yet complete app. I'm trying to not spend hours creating an application. I've done that before and then been passed over, quite disappointing, but totally understandable. So if my application is a bit point form, its a matter of sanity, reading all the source material and finding the correct setting information takes time. I do hope that makes sense.

Ku-au
Character Name: Santina “Tina” Baldino
Street Handle: Youali “Ku-au” kuautli (Night hunting bird of prey) Metatype: Human Archetype: Adept Sniper (Prinary skills: Stealth, Perception, Longarms; Secondary skills: Undecided but will fit background and support team) Appearance: Plain woman with dark hair and fair complexation. Street clothes are fashionable and dark. Character concept idea Personality: Tina is a professional. Work and play do not mix. She follows a personal code of conduct, a mixture of her Mafia upbringing and Military school: Do not speak with authorities; Seek revenge for any harm delivered (The Omerta of La Costa Nostra); Will not lie cheat or steal, or tolerate anyone would, within the team (a personal version of the words on West Point's Honor Monument); Minimize any and all collateral damage, target only is always the preferred option. Fashion fan, loves to follow the latest trends. “Nothing personal, its just biz chummer!” With the gun pointed to the back of the head of her mark. Background: Born into the Italian Mafia in New York age 0-12 - Grew up around crime, very familiar with guns and violence age 12-18 - Sent to Military Boarding school age 18-22 - UCAS Military academy in West Point NY (Sniper training) age 22-26 - Mercenary Tour of duty during Amazonian War (2072-74) age 28 - Shadowrunning Currently Squatting in an office park in Tacoma. Johnson’s run target was geeked before my plane hit the Seattle tarmack. Fixer has promised to find me some work, now that he has had me, and my gear, smuggled into the area. RP Sample: The firefight below was furious, the heat of the jungle oppressive. Tina lay still on the hill side, her gaze roaming over the fire zones, always returning to the windows and doors of the back of the building her squad members were directing the Amazonian troops to fall back toward. They only had about another hour before the Amazonia reinforcements were to close to stay clear of. There! Tina saw a face matching the one on her HUD look out a second story window. Click! Boom! No more head. “Target neutralized. I’m moving to beta site. Meet you in the morning.” Slipping out from behind the cover of natural foliage, Tina disappears into the jungle letting her armor’s adaptive camouflage help her move unseen through the thick jungles. The creek of the run-down door opening snapped Tina from her reverie. Ambushes are always similar, find a location to monitor for your mark and wait, patiently for the correct moment. There was only one person in the room down the hall, she had listened to each voice, knew how many were there and counted each as they left until the one she was after was the last one home. She knew that these stairs were the only place for the mark to easily go to the street. He would pass her soon. Her stealth suit kept her blended into the dark shadows and in a moment later a grubby man stepped around the corner of the stairwell. “Ahem!” The man jumped and spun toward the deep shadows from where Tina spoke. “You have one chance to walk away from this alive. Tell me who has you checking out my flat? I know you have been through my building every day for the last three. So, answer my questions and we both walk away.” He feared someone else more than her, pity. Exiting the building, Tina looked across the street to a shabby woman and her two kids. She nods once and walks away. The agreement was a simple one. She created a vacant flat. The woman and her kids now had a place to live and all they needed to do was keep her informed on anyone who was coming and going around where Tina had set up. Her Fixer better call soon. Hiding out in this dump was terrible, but not the worst place she had spent the night, not by a long shot and long shots were her stock and trade. As she made her way back to her flat, she ran the latest Vashion Island seasonal fashion inventory on her AR Hud. There were a couple of dresses she would love to have, but first, she needed a run.

@ acgreen
Hey, welcome! Sounds like you definitely have a grasp of the game, so that's awesome! Definitely don't go insane trying to build a character...that's supposed to wait until actual RP. @ NightDreamer09 Thanks for the application, I'll update the table this morning! @ everyone This weekend is the chance to make final adjustments to applications! If you haven't finished, or you want to tweak, finish them up by Sunday night. I'll go over them starting Monday morning. It's sort of a mixed blessing now that there are enough applicants that I may actually need to choose. Yay, interest , but boo decisions . I...actually am not sure how long it takes to go through applications, but based on what I've seen other GMs do, I expect to have a decision and get started by next weekend at the latest. Fingers crossed!

Thank you, Rat Queen.
I've finished my application. I hope its not too brief. I took your advice and tried not to spend my usual hours on crafting a character. I have always found that the character fine tunes their voice as the numbers come together. This process of creating an app for a character I do not yet fully understand is very challenging. Without knowing all the character and the reasons for their skills and qualities as well as the experiences that those skills and qualities, leaves me guessing at the character. So, let us see where things fall. Best of luck to all applicants. Last edited by acgreen; Feb 25th, 2021 at 05:00 PM. |

Looks like you are probably full. but I'll see about making a character in the next day or so to toss in the ring. Never hurts to have a back up available for next time if this doesnt work this time!
Is there any particular roles you seem to be light on so far? Brand new to the site but figure I gotta get in on it some how - have experience playing SR 5th edition, with yamaneko and pretty sure acgreen a few times as well too. |

Full disclosure, I literally wrote out a massive character submission for this last weekend and left it unsaved on my desktop intending to get back to it in the morning before work meetings and my power cycled during the night. Lost it all, so disheartening.
There are such good submissions for this I wish I could be a part of it but I haven't recaptured that moment of inspiration to write out what I had before as well or even with as much confidence. Wish you all the best in this game, it looks like it will be great.
