If I read one more generic background history to a character I'll start
taking hostages! !!!! A favorite thing I've found is lifting characters from
other movies, books, game systems and translating them to SR stats, so you
have a full and worked out history for those players who dread the 20
Questions. I found Hatchetman difficult to crame the cyber into, but it was
fun trying. I never did find the stats for his "Colt Commanche" though.
Snake Plissken was a good one as well. Dodger is on hold until I figure out
if he's really an Otaku, a Denver "Otaku", or just a super-good-extra-special
Decker.
