I'm not sure how I managed to neglect this blog for so long, but however that happened, I've built up a huge backlog of stuff, so let's jump right in here.
Alex's first character Occam was a dwarf razorguy and former corp surgeon. More machine than dwarf, he he had a consuming addiction for new body mods and cyberware. I say 'had' because he bit it after like two sessions.
Also he had a motherfuckin samurai sword because Shadowrun is ridiculous and sometimes you gotta just take advantage of it.
Erika plays Flow, a human physical adept who always wears a full-body chameleon suit and opaque helmet, speaking to the team through either a speech-text-speech voice modulator or text messages via comlink. None of us have ever seen her face. Before she started working for Annie, she was a parkour/free-running dispenser of vigilante justice.
Evan was one of the last to make a character, and he agreed to make a Face since we didn't have one yet, so here's Rex the human Face. He used to work a fairly substantial corporate job before some shit went down in Germany and he had to go underground for awhile. He's used to living larger than most Shadowrunners have the budget for, drives a Bentley, and can talk his way in or out of anything.
Allana's character is Dagna, a human rigger who was born into an Aztechnology blood magic dynasty and ran away to get a rigging implant to get rid of her magic. She's better with machines and animals than people (and all of her drones look like animals), but she also wants to be Ember's vodka aunt.
Rix, Jake's dwarven shamanic mage, is fairly young but grumpy and cantankerous enough that everyone thought he was an old man at first. His mentor spirit is the Thunderbird, which forces him to make a roll to avoid insulting someone who insults him first.
Connor plays our other shamanic mage, Wispy, a young elf who used to run with a go-gang until he accidentally burned up most of the gang's vehicles and half of his face. Very charismatic and outgoing, his mentor spirit, by complete coincidence, is also the Thunderbird.
Despite their many similarities, Wispy and Rix have major disagreements about how spirits should be dealt with and treated. Annie's solution so far is to try not to send them on runs together.
I did this painting of Wispy on his motorcycle with a friendly water elemental for Connor for Christmas.
Alex's elf technomancer, Flechette, was born and raised in a secret Horizon lab, trained as a sniper and a devastatingly good hacker. She only just recently escaped and struck up an online friendship with Ember before Annie hired her to replace Occam (who died, more on that later).
Her Matrix persona is just herself, but with hedgehog spines instead of hair.
I have SO much more Shadowrun to post, oh my god, you have no idea. However, my final art project is due at the beginning of next week so that's what's heaping up on my plate right now.
