Oh, I've definitely been assuming Shadowrun-levels of cyberpunk, but I could be wrong. Actually, Jester (Spoony?), why don't you PM me? I love having pre-established connections between characters, and ours could come from similar backgrounds (living on the streets of Republic City). They could even be partners.

Liriia, it's okay, you've helped me clinch certain aspects that I was conflicted about. :P It is definitely a good backstory, though, and I'm glad you went for it. The main difference for mine was that her parents were failed employees, living in abject poverty.

EDIT: [quote=Corsair]With their power has come a new age of technology, from wireless communications and firearms to computers and internet. Jet aircraft, rocketry, cybernetics, spirit power, satellites, all are facts of life.[/quote]
This is what I was basing my assumption on ^
