Character Creation Rules

So a few people asked about new characters. If you want to start a new character, you may. If you lost your old character, and still want to plat it, you can re-build it. This applies for a brand-new character, as well.

Rules are:

  • 425 build points.
  • Increased BP’s can be used to exceed the BP maximums for character creation (with the ratios pulled form the increase of 6.25% – rounded up because you were nice.  That works out to
    – 220 BPs for Attributes (as opposed to 200 BPs)
    – 40 BPs in Positive and Negative Qualities (as opposed to 35 BPs)

    – 53 BPs in Resources
  • Do not buy edge, edge will be given to you like the old Karma Pool dice were. Your edge starts at 1 and goes up by one ever 20 karma that you get to a maximum of 6 edge.
  • Humans start with 2 edge to a maximum of 7 (SR4)
  • If you would like to retire your current, active season 2 character and make up a new one you can do so, and transfer 1/2 of your old character’s current karma to the new one, with the following stipulations:
    • Karma may be spent on Initiation or Submergence.
    • Karma may be exchanged for Nuyen at a rate of 1 Karma per 2500 nuyen.
    • You must immediately spend all transferred Karma prior to the first session. Any unspent Karma is lost.
    • This Karma does not count toward accruing edge.
  • Any gear may be purchased at character creation, if the  Availability is 12 or less and the rating is 6 or less
  • New characters may only choose basic or alpha grade cyberware, bioware, and nanoware at creation
  • Any new characters may not take the following Qualities:
    • Common Sense
    • Deep Cover
    • Escaped Clone
    • Amnesia
    • Bad Rep
    • Big Regret
    • Borrowed Time
    • Cranial Bomb
    • Enemy
    • Hung out to dry
    • Judas
    • Lost Loved One
    • Mysterious Implant
    • Vendetta
    • Wanted.
  • Since we don’t know where the campaign will take place as of yet, your new character’s ‘home base’ must be flexible, as you will be the ‘local talent’ in the new city, and will need to be from there.
