Basic command of the English language to start. Then I look at the OP and the related pic to see if it seems interesting to read. Then I read further and make my final decision after that.

Welcome to Shadowrun Occultist Quest!

>What is Shadowrun?

Shadowrun is an RPG series set in the world of 2072, 60 years after "The Awakening", the return of magic, spirits, and fantasy races into the world. Metahumanity now lives in a world of advanced technology and magic, where megacorporations are above the laws of nations and one-third of all humanity have no legal rights. Crime and corruption run amok, and mercenary operatives known as "shadowrunners" ply their services to both the criminal underworld, and to the very corporations that officially fight against them.

>How are success and failure determined?

A number of d6's are rolled equal to the relevant attribute+the relevant skill. 5's and 6's are successes, and the dice are rolled against a target threshold (1 for something trivial; 6 for a highly difficult /intricate task. 10 for something next-to-impossible). Each 6 rolled results in one additional die being rolled in the pool. Results are as follows:

Target number of successes is met: the action is a success.

Target number of successes is not met: the action is a failure.

Target number of successes is met, but more 1's are rolled than any other number in the pool: a "glitch" occurs: a minor outside complication arises that prevents success.

Target number of successes is not met and more 1's are rolled than any other number: critical glitch. Your actions fail in a way that is potentially disastrous for your long-term goals or your health.

You will have 2 points of Edge each "session" that you can spend to tip the scales in your favor. When requesting an action, you may specify that you want to spend a point of Edge to add "luck" or "effort" to a roll. "Luck" will add five dice to the roll's pool (great for situations where Redd is forced to work out of his depth). "Effort" will re-roll all failed dice on a roll if it does not meet the threshold, glitches, or critically glitches (the point will be refunded if none of these happen). This is good when you are playing to Redd's strengths, but want to make sure you don't botch something.

Good luck, and remember the fundamentals of shadowrunning:

>Shoot straight!

>Conserve ammo!

>Never make a deal with a dragon!

>Rhun "Hela'R Dryw" map Gaelwynn
A short, toned, and angry Welshwoman who serves as your crew's close-combat expert and recon gal. Has enough chrome and bioware in her body that she could probably tank a fall from the 10th floor of a skyraker into an acid vat. Against all odds, holds a Master's degree in Welsh History. Likes: Parkour, sex, narcotics, alcohol, swordfighting, Welsh autonomy from the UK, Lofwyr (The CEO of Saeder-Krupp), Saeder-Krupp. Dislikes: The English, the Irish, the Scottish, Tir Elves, "wankers", people who don't like Lofwyr or Saeder-Krupp. Is trying to quit Bliss.

>Rex Stirling

A veteran of the Sinai Shadow Operations of 2065. Consummate professional (apart from the hit-and-run) and a hard, hard man. Likes: clean runs, gray suits, the Chicago Shatterers Urban Brawl team, and "Pacey Rae", his Gauss rifle. Dislikes: Messy runs, being double-crossed, "wizard bullshit". Has some unresolved trauma from the Sinai.

>Sudo Morphus/"N0b0dy"

The crew's decker. Used to just be an IT nerd, until S-K got leverage on him for redirecting spam-mail from one of their subsidiaries back to said subsidiary's servers. You have the closest relationship to him our of anyone on the team. Suffers from Sudden Unexplained Resurgent Genetic Expression (SURGE), which gives him oily, bright-green scales instead of skin, along with a tail. Likes: MMO gaming, decking, the occult, "me time", you (in a platonic way). Dislikes: violence, being overworked, Rhun, himself. Mildly depressed.

>Tizona Cortez

An ex-pirate technically-nun, Tizona Cortez is your group's mage. She channels the power of God to smite your enemies and bring down the heretic government of Aztlan (formerly Mexico). Lives apart from the rest of the crew, in a convent in Charlotte. Likes: Jesus, helping the unfortunate, low-riders, sangria, Marlboros, fire, killing Aztlanti. Dislikes: heresy, blasphemy, apostasy, hangovers, Aztechnology, The Aztlanti, being ordered to spare the Aztlanti.

>"Barbie"/Lenore Lancester
Not a part of your crew, but a close associate. A total ditz when it comes to anything but fashion, smoothies, and calculating the thousands of variables needed to make the perfect sniper shot. Over 40 confirmed kills. Color-coordinates her duffel bags with her outfit. Suprisingly nice for a professional sniper. Does her work to help out her large family. Likes: fashion magazines, shopping, smoothies, small animals, her BFF Rhun, killing "bad guys", you. Dislikes: white after labor day, socks and sandals, unnecessary violence, reading. Your girlfriend, kind of.

>"The Idiot"/Lionel Lancester

Hey cool, a new quest!

Here are some tips:

1. Get a name, possibly a tripcode. It helps.
2. Don't start with chargen. Start with something exciting. Character details can be filled in later.
3. Whatever rules you're using to handle conflicts or challenges, be clear of how they work.

For anyone wishing to play a character, just follow the steps shown in the image. Listed below is also a text-based summary as a sort of assistant primer to help provide clarity to your choices.

Step One: Get a Job
Characters begin play with a Job of their choosing, which can also be considered their class. Jobs provide proficiencies for weapons, and a subtle means to equip gear other than the character's arsenal. This includes new clothes, armour, and accessories.
Note: The first letter of your Job's name will be your designation (Shown to be [A] [H] or [W] currently)

Step Two: Arm Yourself
Of your available proficiencies, pick one. You'll get the standard weapon of that group, which will be visible in the next image for full detail. A summary of the weapon groups will be listed below.

Melee Weapons

Axe - Blade-headed weapons with a high damage output and capacity for inflicting a variety of debilitations on defenders.
>Carver - Hit: C, Dmg: B [Str: B] Traits: Beast Killer, Harvest

Hammer - Blunt-headed weapons with a high damage output. Focuses on denying defenders advantages directly.
>Humility - Hit: C, Dmg: B [Str: C, End: C] Traits: Power Smash, Smash

Knife - Short, bladed weapons with a tendency towards devious or clever strategies. Best in the hands of an opportunist.
>Promise - Hit: A, Dmg: D [Dex: A, Spd: B] Traits: Backstab, Anticipate

Polearm - Length weapons that employ establishing an advantage for the wielder. Overall well-rounded and capable of fitting to any playstyle.
>Company - Hit: B, Dmg: B [Str: C, Dex: B, Att: D] Traits: Beatdown, Sweep

Sword - Bladed weapons of simple enough design for anyone to employ. Flexible in use and able to be effective with any wielder.
>Duty - Hit: B, Dmg: C [Str: C, Dex, C, Spd: C] Traits: Cleave, Slice

Shield - Wielded protection. Standard issue to anyone who begins play with an Axe, Crossbow, Hammer, Pistol, or Sword.
>Switch - [HP: C, Str: C, End: C] Traits: Impact Brace, Slam

Ranged Weapons

Bow - Always held in two hands, employs the skills of the user the most. Often holds more traits than other weapon types.
>Ranger - Hit: B, Dmg: C [Dex: B, Spd: B, Att: B] Traits: Beast Killer, Flurry Shot, Imbrued Shot, Puncture Shot

Crossbow - Fires smaller, heavier projectiles than a bow. A good alternative for anyone not willing to train in archery.
>Pinion - Hit: C, Dmg: B [Dex: C, Att: B] Traits: Imbrued Shot, Pierce Shot

Pistol - Compact, hand-held firearms. Powerful and intimidating, but difficult to aim while in combat.
>Outlaw - Hit: C, Dmg: B [Dex: B, Spd: C, Att: D] Traits: Richocet, Speed Loader

Rifle - Long-barrel firearms. Stronger and mildly easier to aim, but slow to recover.
>Persuasion - Hit: C, Dmg: A [Dex: B, Spd: C, Att: C] Traits: Point Blank

>>969178
Step 3: Educate Yourself!
From your Job, pick two skills. An example would be a Highwayman taking [Aim] and [Threaten] after choosing a Rifle for their weapon. This allows them to constantly improve their chance to hit with their shots on top of dealing extra damage, and the ability to cover allies through intimidation.

Any two skills from that class are suitable.

Step 4: Deploy
Just fill out this character sheet and have the top line in your post name, and you'll be ready for play!
Note: Make sure to always post your character sheet when you post actions, take your turn, or otherwise are doing something in game. Also be sure to link to posts you're interacting with. Think of it like the wire on a classic controller: you can't play if it's not connected!

[Designation] Character Name (#tripcode completely optional)
HP: # - End: #
Str: # - Spd: #
Dex: # - Att: #
-Equipment-

Note: Inventory for consumables and key items are party-wide, but make sure to keep track of what you picked up!

>Shot that pierces through multiple targets. Deals additional damage against unarmored targets.

"Shut up" She says cheerfully, almost like a child as the other robots spark with blue light as they stiffen up "Sorry about that, I was a bit too excited to check the programs in their dumb heads, I just wanted to see you after so long"

My genetic mother grins widely, pushing up her goggles up her wild, neon yellow hair, her eyes glowing blue like LEDs

"Robots with lethal weaponry are generally not a good way of saying hello" I say calmly and mechanically "And...we've never"

"I don't think she cares" Cyra whispers in the back of my mind "Also I'm pretty sure confusing her with reality is just going to cause trouble!"

Miss spark tilts her head

"What? there's plenty of things we haven't done" She says somehow smiling wider, as I notice her ears aren't pointed like mine "Like building a death ray together, or accidently launching ourselves into space, but I could be here all day talkin about the fun stuff we can do together, and I'd rather get to doing it! So come on uh...."

"Eve" I say, wincing

"EVE!!" Miss spark yells, almost cheers "Yes come on, we need to get you home!

What do I do?
[] try and explain I'm not really her daughter
[] Run away, back to my family
[]Destroy her robots with a volley of lightning powered lasers 1d100
[] Call my mecha
[] Call mom
[]try and say no without making her mad
[] Well, destroying robots is a thing to do together right
[] turn her robots against her 1d20+cont
[]...go with her?
[] Freak out and run away screaming "Stranger danger!" Like mom told me to
[] just lead her and her death machines somewhere where no one else will get hurt
[] write in

MERRY CHRISTMAS
