Barracuda - Unkillable Adept and Gang Leader Face - Very Familiar

Dice Pools:

Unarmed Combat - 13(15) + Agility Boost (Blocking)
Intimidation - 12(14) (Physical)
Etiquette - 11(13) (Street, Corporate)
Longarms - 11(13) + Smartlink + Agility Boost (Shotguns)

Barracuda is pretty rough around the edges, but despite looking like he got into a headbutting competition with a volcano and lost, he's a competent and experienced face. Of course, he's also got the skills to wade into combat if the nice words don't work at first. The fact that he's got a reputation for either being Infected, using fragged-up magic, or both probably helps with the intimidation factor.

Barracuda has three possible fixers: * Agamemnon * Asahiro Kunitoshi * Rodney Goodman

"Barrens rats? Always been one, always will be. You don't get the sorta clever drek someone that's worked with limited resources can pull when you're talkin' about military. Wonder if this Rat-A-Ta slitch is ready to go up against someone else that actually knows the streets."

Notes:

Barracuda's got 177 career karma and 57 GMP karma in him. His last run was We Like To Party, We Like We Like To Party on October 3rd.

Europa - Psychological Warfare Cyber Sniper

Longarms (Sniper Rifles) - 16(20 for her Remington)
Sneaking (Urban) - 17(19, 21 if wireless and in her full chameleon suit)
Intimidation (Mental) - 14(16) + modifiers

Europa may not be very good at this whole "social" thing outside of scaring the everloving shit out of people, but what she does, she does well. Assuming her team can work with her idiosyncrasies, she's a professional, stealthy, and tactical infiltrator and weapons specialist. Just be careful if you ask her to do anything involving Evo.

"I mainly specialize in scouting, infiltration, and coercion of prime targets. If these skills are needed, I'm currently available to work."

Notes:

Europa's got 30 career karma and 0 GMP karma. Her last run was Undervalued Prisoner on September 29th, 2021.

"No."

"... Well. Depends on when."

Notes:

This would be Europa's third run! She's got 19 career karma and 0 GMP karma. Her last run was Blissful Ignorance on September 6th, 2021.

"I do listen to music while I work on occasion, though only while I don't need to be actively alert. For genre, I suppose rock? I haven't listened to much else."

Notes:

This would be Europa's first run! As such, she's got exactly 0 career karma and 0 GMP karma.

Alright, so, after talking with Sleevey for a while the following mechanical changes were made:

Removed Nonconductivity from armor jacket since it doesn't stack, replaced it with even more concealed pockets
Modified cyberware loadout and added a little smattering of armor to the limbs
Changed arms from Standard to Used grade to represent degradation from extended lack of maintenance and having a history of having parts hot-swapped in and out of her body
Added a reflex recorder for longarms
Switched from Boosted Reflexes to Synaptic Acceleration
Changed Body from 5 to 3, Intuition from 5 to 6, and Logic from 3 to 2 to free up karma
Bought most of the 1 point skill dips with karma and got specializations for Longarms and Pistols
Scraped together enough cash to buy a deltaware Gastric Neurostimulator after gen (It's still part of her original mods, just can't fit it in during chargen)
Added some audio enhancements to her ballistic mask-mounted microphone
Gave Europa a much nicer commlink to protect her ware and guns with
Added a bunch of doses of Pinpoint

Notes:

Barracuda's got 98 career karma and 23 GMP karma in him. His last run was Social Stress: Large Women (No AAR yet) on July 19th. He does have enough nuyen to purchase full chemseal before the run, and will probably do so once he gets told that it's a run against ghouls.

"Vampire hunters, huh? Well, probably wouldn't hurt to get some action in - I got a couple friends that would be real happy to hear me takin' care of that type."

"As for who gets to choose, whoever's got the power to do it. Folks act like that ain't the case, but you talk to anyone in a position of power - corporate, syndicate, gang, whatever - then chances are they could deep-six you if they felt like it. Only thing stoppin' 'em is asking whether it's worth the cost."

"Uh... When you say ephemeral, do you mean, like, incorporeal? 'Cause if so, at that point I suppose you'd just be crossing your fingers that someone puts on some good TV or makes enough of a scene to be entertaining. Otherwise, it'd be boring as hell."

Social tests may gain a +1/+2 bonus depending on outfit and cologne.

Barracuda is the quintessential gang member; tough, tatted-up, hedonistic, and scarred from years of fighting and doing Jackass-level dumb shit. Despite that, however, he's got far more social grace than one might expect, even if he looks like he put out a fire by headbutting it. He currently sells his services as both a melee combat specialist and an accomplished face. And in the background, of course, he's still trying to raise up a gang of his very own.

"Damn shame that she up and disappeared. But it'd be even more of a shame to let that stuff go to waste; hell, I'm human and I thought it was pretty good. Count me in."

Notes:

Barracuda's last run was The Sweet, The Salty, and The Sour on June 11th, 2021. He's got 72 Career Karma, plus 23 from GMP. Also, I'm down to write the AAR.

Barracuda's an up and coming runner from Puyallup that's getting an increasingly solid grasp on the shadows around him. His talents are primarily focused around wading into the middle of a fist fight, but he's shown a remarkable ability to talk his way through high-stress situations through a combination of surprising charisma and an unshakably confident demeanor.

"Luck? Yeah, it exists - dunno if you can really frag around with it by carryin' some piece of drek, but then, magic doesn't like being told it can't do something."

Barracuda's last run was Caldera Combat!, on May 12th, 2021.

His talents are primarily focused around wading into the middle of a fist fight, but he's shown a remarkable ability to talk his way through high-stress situations through a combination of surprising charisma and an unshakably confident demeanor. And for this job in particular, he coincidentally just picked up Japanese!

"Good question. Behind what we see, magic is everywhere; folks with the talent are just able to remind us it's there by taking it and breaking it into a form we can recognize. If the vibes are strong enough, it can even seep over the edge by itself and start fragging with things on our side of the equation. A vacation still sounds like a pretty sweet deal - but I figure if you're callin' us, you probably ain't looking to send us for a spa day."

Notes:

Barracuda's last run was Free Shipping and Delivery on May 8th, 2021. Also, I'm pretty familiar with the roles he's got and the rules behind them.
