| Hello and welcome everyone to yet another Zen hosted game. Now many of you have played my games (or I've played with you in other games) before and generally I've gotten a pretty good feedback and have had a lot of fun RPing with the lot of you. Now though I seek a greater challenge, one that was I inspired to strive for and wish to make my first attempt here. I have the intention of running this game as a form of Shadowrun meets MLP, so expect jobs/missions that may be one the verge of illegal, if not outright breaking the laws in a futuristic setting that has both magic and technology that usually just try and ignore each other but do occasionally mix in ways no one really understands.
Now, what I need all of you who wish to sign up for this game to do is to include one thing YOU want to see in this game with your signup, and it will be there in some form. You can be as vague or specific as you want and are free to change your choice should someone present a conflicting opinion. Keep in mind that characters will be expected to grow, and should be adjusted to reflect starting off at a low level equivalent for the start of the game. Also, if I get a large number of people signing up for this game, it will likely split into two games that are possibly only similar because I'll be running them. I will also only be taking suggestions from people who have also signed up for the game, so be prepared.
Now here's some nice and quick class descriptions/roles that you may want to assign your character so that they fit a little better in with the typical shadowrunner crowd:
Face: This is the fellow you want telling the guards that it'd be a good idea not to shoot you, the one you want negotiating with Mr. Johnson (your employer nine times out of ten), and the one convincing the weapons developer that you holding onto the new and experimental WMD is a good idea. Words are their weapons, but that doesn't mean they can't pull out a massive pistol and shoot it up with the rest of them when the talks fall through.
Spellcaster: Pretty self explanatory here since this is a site that features magic in a heavy way. Throwing fireballs, channeling lightning bolts, and various other magical acts are your typical caster. There's also the Technomancer, which uses magic to access and interact with the matrix, but they lack the typical and more physically affecting magics. (yeah, it's one or the other, not both)
Decker: A manipulator of the matrix the decker unlocks doors, shuts down alarm systems and enemy weapons, and can try to steal secretive intel from secure locations. Data manipulation is this shadowrunner's game and they do it in style, often switching about between reality, AR (augmented reality, a mix of the real world with virtual elements in place), and VR (virtual reality) where the dangers are no less real to these data jockeys
Rigger: Whether it's driving vehicles, piloting aircraft, or operating various drones, the rigger is the one to recruit. They manage these mechanical wonders as if extensions of their bodies, or in some cases, extra limbs.
Street Samurai: The weapon artists in this game, a street samurai can wield more than just the classic katana but they all specialize in one specific area, and that's making sure the enemy is no longer a threat. Whether it's through guns, blades, explosives, or even just their straight fists, a street samuria will be the fellow you want on the front lines and dealing with the most immediate threats.
Also, just because I realized it as I was writing up these classes, I should explain the matrix. Basically, it's world wide, wireless, internet and there's a lot of stuff that can be done on it.
... Well, that's all I've got for now, let's see what we get! Questions are appreciated as well. | |

| I would like to sign up Castle as a Face. I want there to be Manticore Cavalry. EDIT: I would also like a Chain Sword, if at all possible.

| I'm going to sign up Starlight Abyss for this one, though under an AU. She's going to a Decker. What would I like to see? Hackable everything, and the ability to get tech'd up to the point where going Cyber Psycho is a thing. Also, laser weapons. More things as I come up with them. | |

| Ampera Bandiix Charge hasn't seen the light of day in a while... So, here she is, as a Spellcaster. I'd like to see this. Do with that as you will, good sir. Ah. I'd also very much prefer it if you'd avoid the Anthro tag o-o.

| Alright, well as is, the game is set to begin in roughly 4-5 days. Current party's a face, a decker, and a spellcaster. If no one else signs up and I feel there is a need for another role in the game, I'll fill it with either one of my own OCs or just a dime-a-dozen NPC. | |

| Hey Zen! I'd like to sign up with Euforia as a Rigger. I can't say I know what I want to see, because I'm not too sure myself. I'll probably need to be guided around a little though. EDIT: So, yeah, my request was for more drama and theatrics, since I'm a writer and I love that stuff. Woo! | |
