Re: OOC: Android: Undercity
Are the teams based on private military companies or are the teams going to be based on the corps in the RP?
Re: OOC: Android: Undercity
Each team represent a collection of allies that take jobs from various factions and people, often illegal work. E.G. In first, mission each team will be contact from a different employer to locate a particular data file, with an NBN super-server complex. It would be over stating their size and scope to call them "private military companies" think of them more as an amalgamation of bounty hunters, contract thieves, and private investigators.
As for working for a corp, you might you might not. Corps always deal with teams such as yours through a chain of proxies. Your client isn't going to come out and say, "I am contracting you for Weyland and want to put on the Shaper Runner Kate "Mac" Mccaffrey". Instead, you'll meet with someone, presumably under a fake name, who will give you your job and you either accept or decline it on face value. Its a dirty, dark future. And people who ask questions generally find themselves out of work.
Re: OOC: Android: Undercity
That's fun. I added a second character but explaining his history will have to come when we can make them I suppose. Nice job my friend.
Re: OOC: Android: Undercity
Okay, I approved them, with one cavaet that you can read about in my post.
Oh and I forgot to mention. Thank you Omega for volunteer. If anyone else wants to volunteer I would like at least more, extras would be gravy.
Re: OOC: Android: Undercity
Nice. This will be an interesting RP. Thanks for the answer BTW. :)
Re: OOC: Android: Undercity
Is there a combat class for the Bioroid? If so I would like to volunteer Karas
Re: OOC: Android: Undercity
Not a class unique to bioroids, no. A bioroid can be a combat specialist and may even be designed specifically for combat, but since bioroids are patterned after the human brain they would function best in relatively human forms.
There are Ice Bioroid, but that is network security rather than actual combat to which I believe you are referring. (Ice standing for Intrusion Countermeasure Electronics and referring to anti-runner programs.)
Re: OOC: Android: Undercity
Heeey, I have a question about clones? Can they be of any class? Also how do they work exactly?
Do they walk around trying to blend in with naturals? Or are they all tagged and everyone knows they're a clone?
Just trying to get some info for a character idea
Re: OOC: Android: Undercity
Clones can be whatever you want them to be. Most clones look exactly like humans, with a few exceptions. E.g. the space-adapted Turtlebacks are less human looking. However, in all cases, Clones can be discerned by a barcode tattoo on the back of their necks. This barcode like any other tattoo can be hidden or removed. In particular, the megacity ChiLo is infamous as a place of freedom for clones, likely due to the weak Jinteki presence. Jinteki tracks down and eliminates escaped clones with extreme prejudice. they view every clone that escapes is a walking example of their products failure and thus to be eliminated and covered up..
Re: OOC: Android: Undercity
Sorry for the double post but something occurs to me. There are a few bioroid characters, and bioroids will figure into the plot but with that I must issue a warning. Do not state a bioroid (yours or someone elses) is "self-aware", "sentient" or similar in the 3rd person omniscient. Similarly, don't state that one is not in the 3rd person omniscient. Such matters are unclear and a huge sticking point in this age. As such, you can state that your character believes that they (if they are a bioroid) or another bioroid is self aware. But, never state it as an empirical fact. I'd like each player/character to be able to make up their own minds on such matters, and if you make it a fact, than it undercuts that decision extremely.
Also, still looking for a second team lead.
Re: OOC: Android: Undercity
If approved, Quinn would seem to fit for a team lead.
Re: OOC: Android: Undercity
I appreciate the offer and accept. Though, I should point out that team lead is a position for the RPer and not necessarily the character. So your team (in-character) could be entirely democratic with no leader, while OOC you would be team lead. Its more just so I have a single person to talk to for RP stuff related to the entire team. That said I accept your offer.
Re: OOC: Android: Undercity
Hey, I was wondering since we seem to be getting a good amount of Covert Ops if I should switch the class of my character Spades into a combat specialist? I designed him so he could be either. I just went with covert ops for potential back story related purposes
Just asking to see what you guys think
Re: OOC: Android: Undercity
I was actually thinking of something along those lines. Maybe another runner.
Re: OOC: Android: Undercity
Feel free to switch just let me know either here in the ooc or by pm
Re: OOC: Android: Undercity
Based on my experiences on this forum I'd say think of what sort of things your character could do that might motivate you to post (or would be least likely to give you a block).
I'd feel pretty confident in betting that the biggest problem with characters won't be their skillset, rather it will be their players dropping.
Re: OOC: Android: Undercity
I agree... its really not super important in the long run, the classes are more to help develop what your character does, which itself is an extension of who they are which is the important thing. So they aren't rules so much as guidelines and not so much guildlines as suggestions, if by suggestions you mean the mad rambling of the insane and the infirm.
so make of it what you iwll
Re: OOC: Android: Undercity
TEAMS! Hurray!
For players with two characters both characters are on the same team.
Team "A":
Sunnyside
Enemyraidz
Hollow Ichigo
Nitro245
Princess Lemon
Team "B":
Omega
~Shobu~
Light buster
Tetsanosuke
Folter
Enyuacca
Now I'd like each team to conference, either here or by pm, and determine a basic history of how their team came to be. What brought everyone together? For example, the group could have been created "Ocean's 11" style where a single "leader" recruited each member for their particular talents. Alternatively the group could have started with a core group of friends and then expanded to include new members. Or you can have each member state their characters personal bio and find overlap and expand from there. Those are just some quick examples. Make it as simple or as complex as you might desire.
After that, I'd like the leader (or someone else if they have a desire) to do a quick right up of the groups bio and post it in the sign up. Each member can also then post their own personal bios in the sign up. After which I will approve it and we can start the RP proper!
If you have any questions just let me know.
Re: OOC: Android: Undercity
PMs sent out to my team =3
Re: OOC: Android: Undercity
@Enemyraidz @Hollow Ichigo @Nitro245 @Princess Lemon
Hurm, I'm happy to take this to PM, but maybe do bits where Luz can see it to check what we're thinking.
The one thing that sticks out to me is that I think part of the game is playing with themes of self ownership. So maybe it would be interesting if our bioroids and Lemon's clone were "bought" to be part of the team. Maybe by a corp that is (through intermediaries) paying the team. Or Quinn might have (maybe), or if we want the rest of our characters to have known each other for a long time the team might have decided to get them as a group purchase, maybe to replace some lost members without having to deal with finding new "trustworthy criminals".

I personally like this idea. An established team purchasing replacement forces due to some past incident or accident that left them short handed. I think it would work great.
Re: OOC: Android: Undercity
That sounds really interesting, any ideas on inter-team relations and dynamic?
