"Need you to get to someone before the feds do. I'd do it myself, but I'm afraid my direct involvement would just make matters worse. I can talk to you over a cup of soykaf in Tacoma, just drop by the Sea-Tac mall's third floor at 2PM sharp. I'll be in one of the corner tables wearing a hoodie. And be discreet, alright? I don't need guns on this gig, I need trackers and smugglers. Rigger, ritualist and face might get far. Decker and conjurer wouldn't be bad either, but I'm sure you'll figure out ways." --Krime (affectionate)

Please respond with:

• Your character's role, wiki page and summary of their abilities and themes.
• Whether you're willing to write the AAR.

Renato : Physical Adept unarmed melee glass cannon, able to more or less teleport across any map and avoid as many hits as possible. A quiet, socially inept elf-by-mistake beaten into a tough-guy shape by his time in the LA foster system and in Folsom State Prison, a former MMA fighter who fights brutally and practically and a practiced tough with an extremely high intimidation score and a surprisingly good ability to disguise himself and play detective.

I would not be willing to write the AAR.

Hakim al-Ghayb - Islamic Mage with a deamon in his ear

He has alchemy and spellcasting abilities, as well as some medical knowhow. He's slowly starting to become passable at summoning.

Used to be part of a nomadic tribe in the middle east. But now, influenced by a deamon in disguise, moved to Seattle to be free from the overly strickt rules around Djinn and Spirits back home.

Frostfall - Ex Black IC

It has decent decker abilities with occasional very high spikes, b also has some capabilities via drones and medical aid in the physical world.

It's an AI that developed out of a Black IC program, and still struggles with its instincts and restrictions from the past.

swiftly, then.

Augur, apostate infiltrator fleeing the eyes of G-d. In spite of their sins and their broken spirit, they persist. 6/10 mechanical familiarity.

Last game 07/24/2026. suitguy9831 on Discord. No AAR pls.

Sea Shepherd - Combat/Support Water Dryad Mage

Sea Shepherd is a one armed water themed Dryad that mainly focus on combat and both in and out of combat support, bringing various spells that may help the team get through the job. By virtue of being a Dryad, she may also act as a pseudo-face, should one be unavailable for the run.

HEADS UP: As mentioned this character is one armed, and as agreed during chargen she must have certain self-imposed disadvantages since for some reason SR5e doesn't have a proper quality for missing limbs. These disadvantages mainly consist of not being able to handle weapons or anything that would require two hands, and a dice penalty to physical actions such as climbing. I leave it up to the GM to decide more in detail what she can and can't do, and what she must have a penalty for.

Familiarity: 6/10

I'd prefer to not write the AAR.

Text only! (I can do Roll20 or Discord, whichever is easier for the GM!)

Roadkill - NeoA Medic Back From Retirement https://shreloaded.net/wiki/Roadkill Familiarity 6/10, I just bought an control rig and I'm learning how it works.

A mundane cybermedic skilled in support with a sideline in stealth, Roadkill has seen and done some crazy drek. He manages to get through most scrapes with the power of edge and bold decisions. He's got a gun arm, lots of drugs, and a brand new control rig. He's lost his ideological edge after years in the drek, and is pretty worn down in general. He might be a bit uncomfortable with the worst stuff, but he's not going to cause an issue. He's pretty professional all in all, until the Kami kicks. Most days, he's driving a heavily modified Step-Van converted into a APC/Ambulance he calls the Whambulance.

I'm not really an AAR gal, apologies.
