The new Munchiken Decker Combat Mages! <dives under computer desk>


Most of the characters I play are personality-wise based off of me.
It all really depends on what mood I'm in. My current favorite Shadowrun
character is Waif (burnt-out sorcerer adept) but that won't stop me from
making different characters. I like exploring characters personalities.
When I get tired of one I start on a totally new concept.
Previous characters have been, Cavalier (Street Sam, deceased),
Xerox (skill chipper), Darwin (Decker), 8-Ball (ogre samurai), Wagner
(wolf shaman), Tempest (mercenary combat sorcerer adept) and Chauffeur
(rigger with his RR Phaeton Blue Silver). I still haven't sat down to
write up Bourbon Threat (PhysAd) who is inspired by Geof Darrow's
character.
Then there are some of my favorite NPC's. Trideo Free Charlotte
(Pirate Broadcasters/Information Brokers that also run the local
Shadowland server) consists of MC23 (mage) and Doc Evil (decker) and
sometimes Detox (15 yr old alley cat shamen, don't ask - he's under
MC23's protection). There is also Scrooge (Knight Errant Detective,
PhysAd possible Physical magician), Bloody Mary also called Proud Mary or
Mary Mary Quite Contrary (Mantid Shaman and Scrooge's ex-wife), and
Lovecraft (Dr. Howard Philips, elderly Magician). All of them are fun to
run from time to time.
Now I wonder who I left out. <grin>

Tell me he's NOT solely responsible for all this "Horrors coming to
earth" stuff....Forget Aztec, I'm inclined to believe that it's all HIS
fault...

Well his nick is what they refer to him as on the streets, not
around his presence. And I wouldn't say ALL his fault. <GRIN> The PC's
were distressed once when the saw a termite fleshform on his laboratory
dissecting table. Eccentric is too mild a word for him. They avoided his
house from then on (like so many others).
