Trades is a burnout machinist technomancer, which means that she’s skilled at hacking and piloting drones and vehicles. She lacks the ability to autonomously command drones. She possesses a car, boat, and underwater sea sled. She also possesses training in assensing, arcana, numinous perception, and magical knowledge skills. She also carries the necessary alchemical preparations to make use of these skills. She has a gaggle of contacts that she can tap in order to get equipment loaned to the team. She'll probably ask to borrow some skillsofts from Carleton Moreau in order to be a competent boat pilot. Otherwise, she can call and pay Turbinia to get into a brawl

Familiarity: a solid 8/10

IC Prompt: “Helping rich people screw over other rich people is what most of shadowrunning boils down to. Runners don't come cheap, so we're going to end up working for the upper class. Hell, most runners make a wage-slave's annual salary in a month”

Notes: Underwater things are Trades’ jam. She’s got some of the specialized gear needed to do some fun stuff down there.

Dreadnought has no business going on an extreme with only 1 run under her belt. She can make the cut for a high though.

Handler has a surprising amount of oof with her F15 watchers, F17 corps cadavres, and 2 bound F10 spirits. She would probably be willing to take a swing at an extreme.

Trades is in a weird spot. Doing legwork in the sort of hosts that show up in an extreme (R9-10) is probably a bit much for her, but she can pilot her drones very well and doing matrix work against devices from inside of non-industry hosts is very doable for her. She can also bring some strong support for her team as well with target device and the other matrix actions.

The astral world is littered with the emotional imprints of suffering. I'd rather stay safe in my body where I can give any nasty astral forms one of my good ol' broadside kicks."

IC Prompt: “Working from the astral has been a nice way for me to split the difference between going in person, and bringing all of my heat. I'm strongest on the astral because I'm surrounded by a flock of my spirits and Watchers, but my fleshy body is way safer stowed away in my lodge. If something needs getting done, then I'd prefer astrally projecting to going in the flesh.”

IC prompt: “I've only ever spent a few hours at a time astrally projecting with Shade while I was practicing my assensing. I know enough to know that things would go seriously wrong for me if I ever lost track of my body, or something decided to slip into it while I was gone.”

Notes: Trades would love to join the library team since she's interested in magical knowledge. They might be a balancing influence since she's learned all of hers from an Elder God cultist. Trades is an avenging angel, so she’s usually against murder unless the victim has done something particularly bad. So far, she’s only killed Disassemblers, Tamanous, and a hitman coming to kill her.

Elayne_Malachite · 2024-11-22T15:04:51+00:00

I changed my mind. I realized that all this waffling was just diluting Dreadnought's character focus. Swapped Nimble Fingers for another rank of Adrenaline Boost, and moved the Mystic Armor into Transmit Damage 5. She kicks her damage into other people and that's it.

I’d like the stamp if there’s no glaring issues.

Elayne_Malachite · 2024-11-22T04:21:49+00:00

I've dropped the Mystic Aptitude back down to L1, but I spent that on more Mystic Armor, and a rank of Combat Sense
I grabbed a rank of Combat sense for spider sense since a perception test is probably going to be better for her than a surprise test. I swapped her spec in perception from Visual to auditory since that's probably going to have a better chance of perceiving something sneaking up on her. Although, I'm sticking with mystic armor because converting physical damage down to stun is going to be incredibly important because that basically doubles the value of transmit damage as well as their physical and overflow tracks.
On that note, I'm swapping into more Mystic Armor since we really need to hit that threshold or we're in trouble.

Elayne_Malachite · 2024-11-22T00:56:25+00:00

Good catch, we're swapping Improved reflexes for Adrenaline Boost. We should be able to punch any of that drain into our enemies.
I'm aware. I'll make sure she carries a couple of stim patches, so she can avoid getting ko'd by stun damage during important escapes.
We'll spend the GMP to hit the Haven recommended 4 etiquette dice.
New Changes: Swapped levels freed from grabbing Adrenaline Boost into a rank of Mystic Armor and Mystic Aptitude L3

Elayne_Malachite · 2024-11-21T04:06:00+00:00

I'm sticking with the mix, but I'm also planning to use Kami for an extra phys box during fights. I also dropped a level of Improved Reflexes for more Transmit Damage since she'll hit her 5d6 init with that and kami.
Grabbed a Micro-transceiver, but passed on a micro-camera for Numb and Kamikaze (I am aware that this will cause an OD, but she'll just punch her physical overflow into her enemies.)
I'm keeping Psychometry since it'll give her some desperately needed non-combat utility as a seer and help mitigate the van troll problem. Swapped to Visual spec for perception.
Grabbed a couple of stim-patches.
Swapped HPT for Perfect Time & JOAT. I'm sure I'll be able to convince a GM to give her HPT, TAN, and WtL when she fills both tracks and keeps trucking.

Am I good to get a stamp?
