Bio thread is now up - this is for people woh have finished their character with me, so far this is just Pyra, and I'm halfway through Ciaran's. For those who want to join in, grab me on MSN and we can run through your character.

Two things - regarding the bio thread (it's said in there as well) I am going for more of a realistic approach than a metagaming one. This means that your bio thread can be as minimalist as just what someone would see when they meet them - appearance, obvious cybernetics, stuff like that, as opposed ot laying out all skills, personality traits etc. Obviously it's more useful for the other players to know this stuff, but then it's also fun to not tell them about that hidden mini rocket launcher in your armpit, or that Mr Studd/Midnight Lady ;)

Secondly, I will be starting the game as and when people turn up. As Pyra is ready, I will be starting the game as soon as, then evberyone can join in as and when. The reason for this is so we get the game started and running rather than waiting for everyone who's said they'll join, it's also because CyberPunk doesn't have levels. Instead, it's more like Morrowind, where you upgrade skills by using them, and your characters toughness and resilience is dictated as much by the cybernetics you have as your stats and skills (though they are of course pretty useful... cybernetics aren't much good if you fry yourself trying to hack a security system)

One question. Pyra. How the hell do you pronounce your character's names? XD

Ska-dee, good-run.

You could get away spelling it Skadi Gudrun but that'd be no fun.
There she goes. Human misery is a wonder to behold. Revel in her pain my dear boy!

Bizarrely, now that you mention it, the quirky characters seem to be a "d" and the name makes a whole lot more sense now. Can't understand why I didn't see it before. Still, looks like I'll be copying/pasting your character name in my posts. XD

Can't wait for the game to start and BLOWING SHIT (and people) UP!

Copy paste is how I do it. She does have an easy to type but possibly offensive nickname you could go with. A nickname she may not understand due to the language barrier. Not that is much of a barrier we aren't exactly "team solve our problems with words" are we though.
There she goes. Human misery is a wonder to behold. Revel in her pain my dear boy!

I'm going to be doing some illustrations to help with things a bit. Zirak can tell you I did the occasional shit building sketch XD and floor plans, but I'm going to try to start drawing some of the NPCs and things. My art is pretty shit, but it should still help give you the general look and feel of people/places

This is a useful reference sheet for combat. Try not to get too bogged down in all the details as it may look a bit confusing at first, but as you get on it will be useful to refer to.

Thanks to Zirak for finding it :3

When you're a Solo facing down a bunch of Fixer, MedTechie or Corp class, basically anyone other than Solo class... you're like "AWW YEAH I'MA GONNA SHOOT YOU IN THE FACE". When you're among Solos, you're like "I'MA GONNA SHOOT YOU IN TEH FACE but this guy might go first."

Any game with a punk being murdered within the first round of combat is a game well worth playing! XD

I have decided on the theme song for the RP. It may be overused, but I don't care... :P
