One interested player asked a good question about the runners feelings towards the "Free Seattle" movement. They asked about how I would handle runners being "pro-movement" which they felt was a move towards chaos and anarchy or "anti-movement" which they saw as a maintenance of "law and order". Here is my response:

The initial intent is that all characters are from outside Seattle and are being targeted by the Johnson because they have a mercenary approach and do not appear to be strong advocates to any side of the argument.

However I'm also willing to take a character from the Seattle area, or outside, whose motivation is more along the lines of assessing the situation to make sure the little man doesn't get screwed. In this case the people of Seattle.

Not sure what part of the world you are from but it's not necessarily a choice between "chaos" and "law and order" it's more along the lines of the Scottish Independence movement in Scotland today. People are questioning whether Seattle should be governed by a distant government that make decisions based on other factors that what's good for Seattle and want Seattle to become self governing. Obviously "law and order" is a big part of that self government.

However what isn't so clear is what's right for the population of Seattle. Is self government going to benefit the people of Seattle, is there still going to be balance between megacorporations or is one going to dominate such as Aztechnology in Central America, Sauder-Krupp in Germany or even Ares in Detroit. What about the surrounding countries? Are the Salish-Sidhe and the elves of Tir Tairngire going to see a split as a prime opportunity to annex large parts of the territory? It is these questions that are the key matters in regard to the future and it's runners who are interested in pursuing these ideas or who are totally disinterested that are targeted by the Johnson.

Hope this helps in determining character background.

Hi everyone,

I've added the initial players to the game. I created base characters for you so that you can
then use this thread to discuss character concepts and to smooth things out between the team. I am working on adapting the Shadowrun 4e character sheet to 6e and will post it later today or tomorrow for you to use. I'm looking to get concepts and characters resolved by the end of the week if possible.

Sorry for the confusion in my posts over the weekend. I was trying to get to a baseball game with my girls on Father's Day and didn't give my posts the attention they deserve. Thanks again for your interest.

Hello Chummers! Name’s Glitch and I your resident matrix wiz. Popping locks and stealing stocks is my game. I play with a full deck despite what other people say. Gonna throw some code out there and see if I’ve ran with any of ya before:

I threw a Brick at a bee Hive and took cover in my ford Mustang.

Hi folks, I'll be the one getting geeked first :D

I doubt I'll be familiar with anyone in game, since I'm a foreigner. If it helps anyone with their build, I'm going for more of a utility magician, rather than combat. However, I'm hoping to fit some self defence spells in there.
