The Lonestar guys wear riot armor that has a helmet that looks like a bucket, though. Plus they're working for the Man.

Though technically so are you, Jan.

Read a bit of the timeline... odd.

And I'm still definitely a mage. Just fits... me, someone who's likely to dream and fantasize and try to tap into that before it was even possible... then screwing up and ending up with a fox-tail and furry ears and such.

With the information supplied, I'll go for one of the Decker positions. Lonestar is also an option if you need it.

[edit] Though if you consider my avatar to the left, I'll end up as a Street Sammy despite myself (android specs here).

Hmm, if possible I'd like to be one of the unlisted archetypes, namely a detective/investigator, covert ops, or even a doc in the background. If we need to stick to that list, I'd like to be an adept if you can fit me in.

You'll have a chance to play a version of Shadowrun 'Lethi. Aleria will be heading in that direction eventually, whatfor and how exactly are not to be disclosed at this point. Although I think, I've talked about it before.

Thats the Outlands: Gen Wars section of the website by the way.

It wont be Shadowrun, Shadowrun.

It will be a modified Shadowrun. Shadowrun skills, abbilities, extras, premise, powers and cyberware. But it will be a rebuilt system to match the current actionset instead of multi-dice pools. Will still function pretty much the same, but adapted to a semi- d20 atmosphere

Lone Star is more like rent-a-cop, and fairly corrupt at that. They're just the closest thing to 'law' that there is

I got to play Shadowrun for a VERY brief time in college, unfortunately the rest of my friends were completely not into the game.

Dunno how many folks you're thinking of populating this place with, but if there's room, I'd love to be a decker, with a top-of-the-line deck (obviously) and a sweet little bike (you've GOTTA have wheels, right?).

Lonestars are only badguys in the sense that they are "The Law" which is contradictory to the premise of Shadowrun which involves typically unlawful behavior. Shadowrunners are typically the less... benign of people who run missions of subtrafuge, sabotage, hacking, or general mayhem for the sake of employment. Hence "They run the shadows". Shadowrunners aren't really good guys (For the most part) nor are Lonestars really badguys (For the most part). The premise just runs with it backwards. Shadworunners are part of the slums, the vandals, the data hackers, the bouncers, the body guards, the sabotuers, and all of them typically fight against "The Man", unless they are actually working for "The Man".

So.. going with my personality, I would want to be someone that *I* would consider good. So, in the premise of the game, someone *good* would be someone against the Law.. yes?

It's all a matter of perception, yes? Like in Star Wars.. the Rebels were good and the Empire was bad.

So if I was an adept.. I would therefore be good in my own eyes.. right?

Hello, my mushy friend...

Nae, think of it this way.

Shadowrunners are mercenaries. They're not good or bad. But they CAN do good or they CAN do bad. It depends on the 'runs' (Jobs) they sign up for.

You can be a corporate spy, or a bodyguard, or an escort (The protection kind), or a thief, or whatever job is needed. Good or bad.

Lone star is like a combination army/rent-a-cop. They can be corrupt, they can be good, they're the 'law' and the 'law' is made of people, which means there's gonna be good ones and bad ones.

Sounds like the difference between lawful good anc chaotic good.. A 'lawful good' person seems like he'd be one of the Lonestar even if the rest of the lonestar might not be as good as they try to project themselves to be, if you see what I mean.
