Samurai Honor Code: Are we talking Bushido, "the Way of the Warrior," here?
I gotta tellya, the samurai I've seen in SR have been money-grubbing
mercs who'll do anything to get the job done and make a dishonest buck,
including ripping off their Mr. Johnsons. Picture this:
*Scene of Bloodwing and Spectre (our cybered-to-the-gills combat monster)
having a standoff on a hospital roof, 1 a.m.*
Spectre: "Shall we do it the old-fashioned way, then? Mano-a-mano?"
Bloodwing: "Very well. Let's do it."
*both characters take off their Incredibly Heavy Weapons TM and draw katanas.*
Spectre: "We thought you were dead."
Bloodwing: (wry smile) "It seems you were mistaken."
Spectre: "Perhaps. But not for long."
*the two circle each other like great cats, waiting for an opening.*
Spectre: "Before I kill you, there's something you should know..."
Bloodwing: "Yes?"
Spectre: "You always were a moron."
*Whips out his concealed Ares Squirt and plasters Bloodwing with Hyper right in
the face, while two of my city spirits (I was hiding behind some air
conditioning machinery on the roof) latch onto him. He didn't last long.*
Gender Benders: Some of my friends hate it when guys play gals or vice-versa,
but I don't have a problem with it, IF YOU CAN DO IT CONVINCINGLY. I can't
stand the stereotypical Butch Bitch w/ Big Blaster. Booorrring. If, on the
other hand, you can get more in touch with your female side, (or male, if
you're not) There's no reason you can't play a convincing Member Of the
Opposite SEx (M.O.O.S.E.), Alien, Small Furry Creature From Alpha Centauri...
\\\You just have to learn to look at things from a new point of view\\\
Old Characters in New Campaigns: As long as they aren't munchkinous, a lot of
high-powered characters can fit in with the average campaign. I'd say, however,
that the old character should be within 25% of the accumulated karma of the
average party member. Dropping in your 50-Karma Monster with a group of 10-K
arma newbies is only going to make the other players hate your guts and plot to
kill you for your stuff.
