Oh boy. Ten million nuyen? Do you realize that the Whistler had to run
the shadows for five years straight AND be a major corp whore to get near
that much? Sorry, but this whole ten mill set aside all ready, Tarkis's
parents are billionaires (AND they don't know he's insane or he runs)
just doesn't float with me. IMNSHO, this is really not true to Shadowrun
or the Cyperpunk genre. The only runners that should be rich are those
that have busted their asses to get it, and they are the best at their
profession. Everyone else is at the bottom of the heap.

Hey GP, what do you say we speed up that plot we were talking about? It
really seems like the prime time to do it.

I mentioned in Tarkis' character sheet that I sent in a LONG time ago,
that his parents know he is insane, but do not know he is a runner.
Tarkis' ran away, and covered his identidy. They ARE looking for him. But
they have no idea where he is. Now Tarkis' Parents aren't runners in the
first place, and I can;t understand why none of you can not see why His
parents can have that much money. They have no relation to the runners
in the whole world at all. Plus they might have been running this
coorporation for 2 generations. Plus Tarkis himself is a famous local
artist where he comes from, and people pay money for his angry insane art.

I know tarkis isn;t a true shadow runner. HE does not ahve money anymore
HE only has about a few thousand nY left over, from when he did chips and
other drugs, and after doing chips he gave it away. Now he might be
considered a Shadow Runner. Right now he has no connection with his
poarents.

Yeah, it's really high time we started that plot-line we were discussing
about a week ago GP. If you'd like me to, I'll fire off the first volley
when you give me the signal.
