Shadowrun Recruitment: Highway to Hell
Klear:
OK, I've read the quickstart guide and most of the history for reality-impaired in the corebook, but I think I need to take a break and play Deus Ex: Invisible War for a couple of hours...
Edit: OK, a couple of questions. I can probably find the answers in the rulebooks in time, but anyway:
1) When you fully enter the virtual world, does your body remain at the entry point (or wherever you were before) or does it get virtualized somehow as well?
2) Is there a way for people to get transferred to the virtual realm permanently, or is the living body a limitation you have to live with? If possible, is this technology available to public, or largely unaobtainable, but possible?
3) What kinds of drugs could I be hooked on? How about virtual world addiction?
I'll ask more what I think of more.

My character is SOO going to be a majycks user. Although that would kinda bring up a question how the hell would yours agree to work in one team with me, but okay, whatever.
Klear:
I will shun magic, not kill mages on sight. We don't have to be good friends to be working together.
That shouldn't be a problem though - I'm planning on making my character quite insufferable, so the real question may eventually be "why would anybody want to work with him". I guess if I was the only hacker in the group, that would explain it nicely.
BTW, main reason why I want the char to dislike magic is so I don't have to read the rules for magic. Whatever I'll need to know, I can learn IC.
Like I said though, it's not set in stone, nor on a character sheet.
Edit:
IC is in character, but it also means Intrusion Countermeasures in shadowrun... hope that won't pose any problems. Maybe it would be best to refer to the countermaesures as ICE. It's read like that anyway.
AJBuwalda:
Will answer tonight, after work!
AJBuwalda:
1.) The meatsack stays in physical world. It can get damaged by feedback from the matrix, though.
2.) Yes, they are basically matrix ghost. The only way to achieve this is by dying while on-line, the next closest thing are Technomancers.
3.) Psyche is you drug of choice probably... Increases Logic and intuition, yet has little side-effect!
And I would like to add that ignorance is bliss until you're facing an force 5 Fire Elemental :-P
