Why the name change?


I felt like Wade Wilson was too... cheesy. Wanted to display my increase in maturity and all that jazz. I was 12, after all. God, that sounds pretentious when I actually write it.

Also, I've decided on JJ's specialism: torture. ;D

Eh, Guilty as charged in that regard. ^-^ The guilds seems to value uh.... what I'd call aesthetic presentation much more than the other sites I've ventured on throughout the years. So I kinda browsed around a bit through a bunch of old and new RPs and pick and chose what I thought worked from their respective presentations. Something something "good artists copy, great ones steal", though I'm not really sure about the validity of that statement.

But people say the OOC looks fine, so I guess it worked?

@Red Coil
It's an interesting idea you know? I mean, I mentioned the genetic engineering in the Int-Check, but I didn't think anybody would actually run with it. I'm interested where you take her!

@Cairo
Super corporate empire France is best France? Interesting that you went with making them a PMC state, but I like it it's different. You got a solid foundation going and I'll be interested to see how you expand on it!

@Mara
Well that idea isn't creepy, disturbing, tragic, and wonderful all rolled into a single ball! And don't feel too bad about using over-done tropes. They exist for a reason, it's really a matter of how you end up playing with them and subverting them!

@DeadDrop
I indeed received it in the cybermail. I'll probably be able to shoot some comments your way on it, a little bit later.

Final thing my schedule is a little bit weird, but I'll pop in when I can to check up on things and answer any questions. It might just be at seemingly strange intervals of time; uni does that to a person as most of you probably know. I'm aiming to get one of my uh, I guess you'd call them GM-NPC sheets up later tonight to give you guys an example of what you should be aiming in terms of sheet length and detail. Though, if you can't hit the mark exactly, it's fine because my sheets are known to be well sprawling at times. lol

@Xanadu, I meant to ask (and this probably isn't relevant for my character) but I wanted to press you a little further on outer space development. So there's a moon base planned/or in progress, but what kinds of orbital developments are there exactly? Mostly ISS-type research stations? All government owned stuff?

Ohhhh shi-

I am super interested in this, but I'm not entirely certain about a concept yet. Or how well I'll fit in. All that new group jazz, plus I missed the interest check. But cyberpunk is definitely one of my faves. And with all the gun-toting badasses running around here, I am thinking of making a Hong Kong local specializing in hit-and-run hacking jobs and stealthy infiltration, with very little combat ability to speak of.

Because I am a dork.

Yeah, I wanted to explore what the meeting place would be between a corporate state and a military dictatorship - turns out it's not a very nice place to live. Also, I have a fun mental image of a bunch of criminal mooks panicking when they get into a gunfight with the PCs because they realize, 'Oh shit, they have a French guy!"

I would also support a Discord, by the way. It makes for a less messy OOC tab, most of the time, I find. Coming from the pre-Discord days, it is a nice change to have a chat program for the chit-chat stuff that isn't necessarily important enough to warrant a post.

But does Discord have the magnum emoji? I think not.

Ah yes the space stuff. So originally a lot of the stations were Mostly ISS-type research stations. But the Exchange kinda changed prospective for some people. They wanted sanctuary in a place where they could live without the threat of them getting nuked into oblivion the very next day. Because in the early years following the Exchange, a lot was still up in the air about if any form of government or authority would be able to bounce back or if you'd just have some angry rebel groups with accesses to nuclear weapons. Since it took some time for many of the world governments to either shatter completely or finally bow down to the corporations and let them bring back order. So they started to make space habits up in high orbit much like Freeside from the Sprawl trilogy. So in fact most are actually privately owned, though a few government installations still exist for the governments that manged to make it through the Exchange in one piece.

If on the ground the Corporations basically run everything except in name, up in space they got the name to. Cause these habits run on what's called "orbital law", which bascially breaks down to the owner of the space station decides what's legal and what's not. So these space stations tend to come in two flavors: Havens for the rich and prosperous to live out their days, or darker research stations where the corporations and the like do their experiments that polite society might "frown upon." Most end up combining the two.

Now some of these corporations are looking towards the Moon primarily for mining purposes. But to do that they need to be able to get goods into orbit much efficiently than using space ships. Commercial space flight is a thing, but it ain't cheap. Simard Industries, the guys that developed the first BICs and made billions of them are currently leading a charge. Having basically more or less carved out a large section of the Ecuadorian coast, where they are starting to build the foundations for what will eventually be a space elevator.

And I think that covers everything!


@Indy Cooper
I mean hey, not everybody can be good at shooting things! Variety is the spice of life

Though.... this Character who you will met tonight is 0826-9's handler and basically the person on Loingsech's payroll to make sure y'all don't fuck up is basically a tank with legs. So to each his or her own. lol

@Cairo
Now I'm just imagining him like hiding a shotgun inside of a baguette.

Hi all, just popping in to say I'll be joining this and am working with @Xanadu to create an antagonist who'll be giving all of your characters, uh, a lot of trouble. Should be fun!

Yay, I've never really ventured into the biological or genetic augmentation side of cyberpunk so I think it will be interesting (or the very least educational for me).

I'm going to dive deep into the fast and loose world of corporate espionage and wetwork, and shady deals with criminal organizations and black market types of course, which will obviously be a happy journey for the character.

@Xanadu and everyone else, for your perusal:



Not quite done. Need more background, but I figured I'd put her up for now until I can get back to it so people know what I am up to.

EDIT: Added a more full background, removed an augment, general spellchecking.

This shit looks a-fucking-mazing I'm a slut for all things cyberpunk, dystopian, and the like. I'll have a character by Friday at the ABSOLUTE latest.

Current working idea is an old, grizzled mercenary looking for a few last jobs to pad out his retirement fund.

Hey look at that, there is a sheet up for Laine in the character tab. I'm putting some finishing touches on it, and probably going change some formatting things at some point. And I was very tired when I proof read it, so there is probably some mistakes in there. But it should give you all a general idea of what I'm looking for in the sheets. Maybe not to its extent in length, but in similar level of effort. Remember I need to see that you care people. And since we are getting a lot of interested I'm probably not going to be able to accept everybody. So you want to make that sheet, the best sheet you can. That's why I'm giving you a whole week to work on it. I don't want you to rush it.

And no you don't just get to pull a me and say accesses restricted for one of the sections. That's actually for plot reasons, and I have that part written out as well I just can't share it with you. Which makes me sad because it was the part I had the most fun with.

Anyway, to the people who have sent me PMs. I'm sorry, but finishing up Laine's sheet took me a little bit longer than expected. So I probably won't be able to respond to them until tomorrow at some point. Anyway keep on keepin on folks! ^_^
