The game start
You guys start as new shadowrunners just breaking into the big time. A street fixer called Ren T Catt made contact a few weeks ago and wanted some 'new guys with clean reps for a couple of simple jobs. His client wanted a couple of special runs and paid handsomely! So there you are all chromed up, magicked up and teched up and ready for the big time.
Character Creation
We'll do that on the first night. However, you need to think about the type of character you want to play and the background of that character.
Options:
- Street Sam - a cybered warrior using inbuilt tech to enhance beyond human norms
- Physical Adept - a magically enhanced atheletic warrior with many and varied skills using magic to enhance beyond human norms
- Decker/Rigger - tech data hackers and remote tech bot warrior types who battle with brains and not braun
- Shaman - a magician with special afinity with spirits that pervade the 6th World which grants them power to influence the mundane and astral realms
- Hermetic Mage - a magician who uses mathematics and formulae, real spells to influence the physical world and dominate the astal realm
Each of these types of player types tend to specialise in particular skills, but a player can literally be anything.. its entiely possible to be a Decker who hates computers and fears loosing his mind to the electron jungle, or have a peace loving street sam was hardwired reflexes, whatever you choose will form the basis of the skills selected.
Race
Following the emiergence of magic, humanity was changed forever. Changes in the mana levels of the planet coupled with radioactive fallout caused spontaneous mutations. Humans changed and became different. The differences expressed as specific genotypes, elves, dwarves, orcs, trolls all became more commonplace, and were assessed as truly separate specifies (as they breed true to their genotype), others such as ghouls, vampires, wendingos seemed to be infected somehow with recessive viruses that caused significant changes.
Players my choose to be non human specific genotypes if tthey want, but such benefits normally outwiegh the penalties!
Character Background
Once you have an idea of what you want to play, please create and appropriate background. You will be awarded xp for it and it will help integrate the character into the setting. if you want you can randomly create something based on this...

Once we have your character, and some background you need to determine how careful you are about that background. What do the others know about you. we will be using a modified version of Street Ettiquette (a skill) to determine how secret your back story is. Low street ettiquette scores will probably make you an open book, high ones might make you inscrutable. Your choice.
At the start of the game you will have Catt contact you once again.
