I've run these players. They tend to play sheets rahter than the character.
Most annoying. They also play in packs of three... They also breed...

"Beta-Plus"? O, I've been off the 'server a while. WHAT DID I MISS?!?!?!?

I'll step down now...

Hi, Tyger,
"Beta-Plus" is what you have after a large shadowrunning group
pours 50% of their income, and a *huge* amount of stolen data, into what
started as a Beta Clinic in 2052. Tis now 2055 in our world, and our
favorite clinic has representatives studying there from several other
countries and they just got three of their doctors back from school time
in Techni Asmera. The leading edge place to study nanotech.
Our Seattle has advanced and changed from what FASA put out in
1989. The original founding members of Sister Sinister now only take the
jobs they get interested in and the younger members are the PCs.
Tarislar was bought by a group of investors and the volcanic ash is being
broken down into fertile soil.
Anyway, a Beta-Plus clinic is a bit better than a Beta Clinic.
Only a small amount, but noticably. Multi-purpose wares are this
particular clinic's speciality. It also has a line into the best of
overseas bio-ware too. All custom, DNA - matched, and built by nanotech
inside the body. What I did was extrapolate from 2052 to 2055
considering the current rate of technological advancement. Seemed
reasonable to me.
I posted a bit about this kinda thing last year through Deirdre's
account. Got royally flamed for it too. Oh, well. Life's like that,
but the railroad of technology doesn't slow down. Ride it, or get ridden.
Oh, yeah, the Renraku Arcology is all finished too.

Sorry Tyger,
Forgot to say, Yes, Fluf *did* start as a human. She started
*play* as a confused were who had no idea just what she had done wrong,
but she knew she had done *something* wrong.
I get quirky at times.
