Fading Memory

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

I'll get a post out tomorrow.

Shadowrun: Lost Heir

I see no issues with Frost. Fun times all around.

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

If Zavakri’s learned one thing living under the flaming fist it’s ‘Don’t acknowledge the Murders in the City.’

Shadowrun: Lost Heir

Barring someone else jumping on it, when everyone else is done with their sheets I’ll be producing someone Matrix-focused, so nobody needs to particularly worry about it unless they get L337 H4CKZ0R V183Z injected into them. So don’t worry too much about it.

Edit:
The minimum line for everyone to understand in 2075 is that the entire world is functionally Augmented Reality capable and that even the cheapest Commlink (think personal assistant smartphone) can be held up to interact with and view the AR. Menus, entire storefronts, social media data, etc, are all just a glance away. Adverts are hyper specialized. Devices communicate constantly. Even guns and cyberlimbs benefit from wireless connectivity, and thus are at risk from nefarious hacking attacks.

A decent Decker can turn off your eyes, eject the magazine from your gun, and melt the firing mechanism to boot.

Now, you can turn the wireless off! Woo! But then you lose out on nice functions like a Smartgun or Gridguide Self Driving cars. It’s about risk management if you’re afraid of being at risk from Matrix attacks. Hence my nostalgia at the DataJack on the Troll; they can’t brick the gun if it’s offline and you’re just connected to it.

Shadowrun: Lost Heir

@Abstract Proxy Firstly, I've never stolen a picture faster in my life.

So let me give you some broad clarifying things; if this were tabletop the level of augmentation you've done (even with the prototype transhuman style origin and a seeming biocompatibility with Bioware) would gut roughly half your magical abilities, more or less. That's totally fine! This is not me telling you not to do this. This is just me telling you that your character will feel a weaker connection to their Awakened self, that their magical abilities will not compare to other people, and that as an adept this means you will usually just outright manifest weaker and fewer abilities than other Adepts. There are a lot of natural adepts out there who will use their 'extra' magical ability over what your character can possibly achieve to reach the same kinds of enhanced abilities you possess- on tabletop it's all about trades and sacrifices, and it's not like you'd end up in any sort of weaker spot in the long run. You just chose a different way to get there- or, rather, may have had it forced on you by EVO.

Side note, installing hand razors directly in the flesh is metal and I always love to see wild drek like that. Bring on the X-23 vibes. Bring on the Wolverine. If you're indirectly angling for that particular flavor, there are adept powers that do enhance natural healing ability (though it'd have to be a ludicrously magical adept to reach even close to 'Wolverine' levels). You could go with that as your primary 'adept' power and just embrace the gimmick, clawing people up and healing faster than everyone else.

@vietmyke Hoi, Frost! We love to see the Trogs represented.

You built what I like to call 'the indestructible troll'. Dodging is more of a suggestion for someone whose bones are titanium laced and whose skin is hardened and, frankly, is a troll. That full suit of body armor will make you feel like a god until something just as nasty as you shows up on the opposition, in which case we all hope and pray that Frosty is the one in the immediate area when things that nasty show up otherwise it will become quite gross quite fast for potential 'squishies' (read: everyone who isn't you).

Side note, there is no license on this sixth world that will legally permit you to carry an Ares Alpha, the Panther XXL, or the AM-47 Rifle. This is just so you know in case you decide to carry the Panther to a business meeting in an office building or something. On a purely joking-observation level due to the sheer size of it, the AM-47 is almost functionally an assault cannon itself and I love that for you. On a gentle nitpicking note, I'm pretty sure the current Ares Predator in 2075 is the Ares Predator V [which makes literally no difference on anything; the Ares Predator of whatever variant is always the standard go-to firearm for those with enough money to have one because Ares makes fraggin' good guns].

On a nostalgic level, I adore seeing Datajacks on non-deckers in the modern wireless world. You can now plug directly into things!...Namely your guns! For if you can't use the wireless smartgun functions! It's honestly a niche thing on tabletop, but for roleplay and narrative purposes I just love to see it. Nobody can hack or brick your eyes/guns if you're taking a few seconds to directly plug into them rather than turn their wireless connections on.

@Letter Bee Hoi

I don't have any specific feedback for you at the moment, you seem to have a solid grasp of your concept and a decent history with Shadowrun so you'll probably do fine without me chiming anything in lore-wise or vibes-wise.

Shadowrun: Lost Heir

Shouldn't be too crazy if that's the conversion. It's mostly just 'drop the numbers' and 'emphasize the vibe'. What in particular do you think is a wonky conversion?

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

Zavakri is another step in my long road of 'D&D Characters who are just normal people going on an adventure' like Tolkien intended. It's parallel to my list of 'absolutely insane what the heck' list of characters.

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

He can allegedly tame bugbears with his cooking and is a notorious skirt chaser, according to Zavakri.

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

Meanwhile there’s Zavakri, who has a tenured day job and whose husband is a profitable caravaner and merchant. I also maintain my headcannon that Rirvudd is secretly a 20th level paladin and Harper.

She has a house and a steady job.

Saint Valerius Academy - A Knight/Noble Fantasy

No stress, I’m at the very least just enjoying the vibes.
