Character Creation

By the waning years of the 22nd century, humanity has expanded beyond Earth, establishing colonies on Mars, Ceres, and the moons of Jupiter and Saturn; the latter of these being largely penal or mining colonies, taking advantage of the isolation and mineral wealth of these moons. One such colony, known as Benedict’s Rest, was established on the shores of the north polar sea of Ligeia Mare on the moon Titan, in the year 2169. Originally a penal colony that used convict labor to harvest liquid methane, Benedict’s Rest was bought out by a German energy conglomerate, Richter Dynamics, and expanded; now, in 2189, contract, or “free” miners outnumber convicts 5 to 1—158 free miners to 31 convicts.

The colony’s productivity, formerly the highest of any Richter colony site, has dropped 19% in the last month with no reasonable explanation provided. In the same period, the colony medic, Dr. Henry Holzer, has died; the administration has been vague regarding cause, though it has been intimated that he committed suicide. Over the objections of colony administrator James Kingsley, Richter Dynamics has sent a team of corporate troubleshooters to investigate these two issues and make recommendations to revive productivity.

Raiko - don't stress too much about getting characteristics just right - it's just a game after all. Note you can have an extra 10% on Rifle/Shotgun and SMG due to taking Handgun over 50%. Like the way you've got the years right for the scenario.

When everyone is happy with their characters, put them
in the Final Characters thread and we can think about starting.

Oh, no stress honestly, I was just glad that the rerolled characteristics let me remake her more or less the same.
Nicole was actually also previously my Shadowrun character on the Dumpshock forums, before I ever posted on here, so we go back a long way.

Obviously destined to death or madness as a CoC investigator, but I don't play Shadowrun any more and life expectancy isn't great there either.

The 10% bonuses are already applied thanks, I'd noticed your post to another player, so I remembered to add them.

Thanks. I do get a bit OCD with backstories.

Raiko - I'm going to up your English to 50% (fluent) - you can have this for free as it is more of a backstory/flavour issue in this scenario.
