Subject: Ok, I think I'm ready for this....
Date: Thu, 30 Mar 1995 22:50:47 EST
OK, I've finally got my feet under me, and am ready to introduce my team.
Two members will appear on the net, and their summaries are below.
Basically, they're part of a six person team that had a rather succesful
shadow team in Pueblo Council. THe heat finally got to intense, so they
bugged to Seattle--and are looking for work. If you've got a plot hole and
need a team or a decker or two to fill it, consider mine. :) Otherwise, I'll
come up with something eventually.

Joshua's Arm -- Joe Helfrich
--
Joshua's Arm, known to a select few Shadowrunners (and Law Enforcement
agencies) as Joshua Mitchel MacBaine, is a pale skinned, redheaded kid of
obvious Irish desent. He's the matrix cover for an experienced but low rep
team that just relocated to Seattle from the Pueblo Council lands. He picks
up his nickname from where he keeps his deck--Josh was born without a left
arm and, as he became a better decker, had it built into the artificial limb
that he's had since he was a kid. He's very enthusiastic about the move to
Seattle, and the ability to work more openly--and that may get him killed.

[note on the tech: I assesed no essence penalty for being born without
an arm, and only charged .5ep to attach the artifical limb. The
dedicated datajack cost more money, but essence as usual. And the
deck is just a standard deck that happens to be heavily insulated and
packed inside an artifical arm--obviously, there's no room for
enhanced strength, cyberguns, or the like.]

Morgan -- Joe Helfrich (jbh@****.rutgers.edu)
--
Morgan is an elf, about 27 years old. He's very quiet and serious, and no
one is quite sure why he runs the shadows...but he often pays the rest of his
team to make runs for and/or with him, with little or no explination. He's
in it for something...but what that something is is still unknown. He tends
towards dark colors, and sometimes wears a cloak--knowing that people will
see a sterotypical elf, and look past the man underneath.
