Subject: | New Run: Plot-Questions (a little bit long) |
Date: | Mon, 9 Jan 1995 15:09:05 +0100 |
A long time ago I asked for ideas on a new run for the decker character
in my group. At this point a want to say "thank you" to all of the
people who sent nice (and evil) ideas. After talking with my decker
player and coming up with some background information how he would like
to see his parents I made the following run. Haven't played it yet,
'cause there a still a few questions unanswered. I would like to hear
some opinions and suggestions.
Characters:
Wiz, High-level decker, Elf, coming from Atlanta. Lost his parents
(both elves) to racial violence. There are hints in a Lone Star file
that the mother was a spike baby or older (much older). Father is
dead, Mother is nowhere to find. Wiz was raised by a friend of the
family and his mentor, a computer god, who too gets lost later in
some havoc. The mentor has later appeared and hassled the characters
in a form of matrix spirit, AI whatever (hasn't decided yet) when
he tries to join forces with an century old demon trapped in an old
samurai sword, but this is another story (kind of ronin, for the
people who knows). The other player is an owl-shaman with much power
(Initiate Grad 3). She comes from pueblo council.
I like to do a Tir background story, so I came up with the following:
Wiz's Mother (short M. from now on) was a Mage/Paladin/Warrior who
went a long way with Ehran the Scribe. I decided that Ehran and Bright
Water (see Tir Book) are the same person and M. was the leader of the
"terrorist attack" on the re-education camp, which destroys the data on
Bright Waters background. She was sent to Atlante by Ehran to look after
Wiz father (F. from now on). He was a computer hacker with an 4 digit IQ
or something like that. After some years Ehran gives her a command
(like kill F./do this/do that) to which she said "Go to hell". So she's
on Ehran's Death list.
F. is killed by Ehran's killer (probably by Alamos 20K, they think that
he's a high-rank Tir representiv, 'cause fed with false information by
Ehran and his middle-men). M. gets away on lays low first. Then she goes
to Denver (bought the source book = have to use it) and established an
information-brokering business. M. starts to look out for potential
allys, like enemies of Ehran. Ehran hears this and sees that he has to
kill her, before she can tell too much. But first he has to find her.
Now, the players starts their part:
An old friend of Wiz phone him, to tell him that an old object of his
parents was lying on his doorsteps. Wiz goes to Atlanta do find his
parents. Ehran watches his progress and hopes to react when Wiz finds
his mother.
Open questions:
Which order was M. given by Ehran? (kill F.? If yes: Why?)
Why did she resist? (All-time best: Love?)
Which old parent's object was lying on the doorsteps (photograph?
magic objekt? maybe potential plot-lines here)
I'm open for any suggestions. And thank you for your time.
bye,
Stefan
