dragon, go to the link i poasted previously, node 16. they have all the character gen stuff plus rules from official supplements. i'll be willing to help you rol up a char if you want.  what we really need are techs, several of them. a good idea might be to browse some movies and form a "character concept" by drawing a basic idea for the char from movie characters.  ie, in heat val kilmer plays a sort of demo tech, things like that.  from what i hear there's a demo tech in the works, what we need are people good at reparing and maintaining vehicles. you could still  incorporate the cooking thing using pickup skills, to add depth to the char (everybody's got a hobby, right?)  as for a reason to hate sov-oil, say your char worked on one of their pacific ocean drill rigs as a maintinance person, working on the rig and suporting watter vehicles. you got fired, pick a reason, and are pissed off. we recruit you for our opp for technical suport. you get to stick it to the company and make some serious coin in the process. just an idea, send me a message if you want help with the char, please.

also, to the group, i would subjest you poast your characters in the boards reservoir dogs section upon compleetion, so we can establish where the group is strong/week. now, please wait for thumpert yeah or nay before doing so, but i think it will help us create a well rounded team. thats all for now.

hey thumper, if its cool with you i think i'll swap the dedicated med tech i had on the team out for a former military intell officer with passable netrunning skills as well as a wide breth of intelligence related skills, since we are sort of low in that area. is that cool? or should i work up something else? i dont want to wander into tech territory since thats the group's focus. any ideas?

as to dragoonCav's prediciment, my team is from seal team 8, so that region is the teams area of operation. possibly she was a source for cia/mil intell that we extracted in exchange for her intelligence data. possibly she kept tabs with the group and when she heard we were heading back after sov oil asked to come along. just a thought. or, if you go the rout of being saved by the team durring play, prior to your induction you are welcome to controle whichever boat crew members you wish (this excludes the seal team and comander). you could have a little fun controling one of the worlds best snipers durring the interrum.

actualy fix, a fixer would be a great addition to the team. from what thumper has said, it sounds like terrorist cells are active in the area. we can cover more ground by convincing them to atack targets that help us to our ends (negotiator). or, instead of a con job that could blow up in our face as above, we could bribe them with captured sov-oil equiptment (black marketeer, fence, trader). or, you could make some cash on the side selling the captured loot on the black market. a fixer would make a great addition to the team, and if we got 2 different fixers with different areas of experties then all the better. between selling the guns/equiptment to the black market and possibly doing some organ dealing if the med tech is up to it, we could make up the inevetible expenses we are shure to incure durring the mission, so the pay checks would be all gravy.

another thing, thumper, will acomidations be made for our gear to be shipped as well? or will we have to make seperate arrangements for that ourselves? (is customs something we should even worrie about with reguard to the teams heavy weapons and sutch, on the us side? if so we can alwayse truck it over to nevada to have it shipped out, where there is for all intents and perpouses no law to speak of. if there's trouble on the reciving end is it safe to assume some palm greesing will aleviate the problem? thats all the questions i have at present)

just a heads up for you new commers, and a belated one to the old ones (cant belive i forgot to poast this before. *kicks self*). here's a link to where the comando force half of the group is written up:  http://forum.cyberpunk.co.uk/cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=3;t=125

if you make a character that overlaps one of them, like Gabriellyon said he was considering a med tech, then i will drop the corrosponding character from the list, or change it so as not to step on the real pc's toes (it'd be less work for me anyway, only have to do actions for 12 instead of 13, but however it works out is cool with me.).

p.s. if anyone has subjestions/comments on the team please bring them up with me, they are there for your protection so i welcome your input with reguard to their creation.

ok, i'll shut up now. i look foward to gaming with you all.

just buy cheep sawed off shotguns, one book listed them at 100eb and another at 200eb. you make hatch marks in the barrles for each shot and when each has 5 in it, you spend half the weapons cost to get a new set. its the ultimate muntchkin cannon!!! on the other hand, you could put an integraly silenced  10 shot 9mm in a wrist launtcher and make yourself look un-important, then when things go bad pop it out at point blank range ("where the #### did that come from"). and cap them in the head where its next to impossible to put armor, under the chin is best or put the shot in the "iron triangle" (or is it golden? ohh well, its the spot in the middle of the face where a shot causes instant death without postmortum spasams ie they wont jerk their trigger finger and rouin your day). either way, the choice is yours.

its called a slasher shell, and its in one of the official supplements. (the mono wire shell that is). verry expensive if i recall correctly, like 75eb per shell. the real effective ones were the 40mm grenade versions, 3m long wire cutting through anything in its path, dealing 3d6 mono ap dammage (1/3 soft sp, 2/3 hard sp). they're too expensive to be worth while though, unless sombody's picking up the cost of ammo for you.

well, i'm not shure what's taking thumper so long to respond, but last i heard he was still taking new players. now, i'm not running the game so dont quote me on it, just saying its a good bet that he will take you. just make a char like thumper outlined before in earlier poasts and hopefully he will let you in. hope you make it, laterz.

shrap follows rat into the van and takes a seat

"well, we dident get full on mil-spec gear like i origionaly asked for, but this stuff should work. mastoid units with a simple modulation chip to scramble the transmission. for what we need it's good, the average street operator couldent hope to tap them."

here's a novel idea, quit worrying about dammaga potential and focus on skill instead. i use to be one of those guys that thought hand cannon's were the end all be all, but then one day i saw something that changed my whole outlook. there was a special on the discovery channel about the navy seals, and they had an instructor talking about all the weapons they use. when he came to the sidearm he held up their standard issue sig 9mm then proceeded to explain "this is the sidearm we use, it is a 9mm pice with good handling characteristics and a deecent magazine size. now, lots of suposed "gun buffs" like to argue that we shoud pack real guns. they'll say why dont you guys get 45's or desert eagles or what have you. my answer to them, after i put 2 in your heart and one in your head it wont make a damn bit of difference what i'm shooting, your gone."

in short, stop using uber guns as a crutch. if you've got the skill, you can be hell on wheles even with knock off junk and cheep sov imports.

shrap walks over to the counter and retrives the bag

"i'll get that for ya boss" turning to thumper by the door "so, is all quiet streetside?" shrap makes tward the door and waits for rat before exiting.

another thing, what kept shrap from rigging explosives to kill your punk behind? also, where did you pull all those skills from?

ray alwayse had a way with vehicles that was beyond comprehension. he grew up in a middle class family and their hobby was riding dirt bikes in the desert. when he got his lisence at 15 he was pulling j turns and controled skidds within weeks, if it moved ray could handel it like an ace. after high school ray wanted to go airforce abd be a fighter jock, but his parrents persisted that it was too dangerous, and said go navy, which he did. ray's ability earned him a slot on the seals special boat unit, and specilized training that came with it. this fact is ommited from his parrents, obviously.
