Burning Thunderbird

BURNING THUNDERBIRD STILL AT LARGE

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- BREAKING NEWS -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Even today, we have to wonder at the effectiveness of KNIGHT ERRANT even further as they have been unable to even find a single photograph of the feared and disturbing BURNING THUNDERBIRD, a terrorist that is presumably of amerind origin and heritage.

Halloweeners and Renton Ramblers

HEAVY HITTER GANGS OF RENTON SLAMMED INTO PAVEMENT

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- BREAKING NEWS -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

The FBI today was reported to have been raiding underground storage facilities associated with both the Halloweeners gang as well as the Renton Ramblers.  Now, we gave you an inside look into both gangs and exactly what sort of maliciousness both of them seem to be up to last time on this report, but we'll give you a quick review and overview.

NPC Spotlight: Jana Badeaux

• She's sisters with Mashaka, and generally spends her time running their magic shop in Ancients territory. 
• She doesn't come off as the brightest, but holds a lot of spiritual wisdom from growing up in a Voodoo-practicing family. 
• She's an adept with a mixture of cyberware and bioware, very similar to Alexi. She's actually been taking a few of you under her wing lately.

NPC Spotlight: Doctor Clara Thule

Doctor Clara Thule works for the local FBI branch as a forensics scientist and medical examiner, typically spending most of her time in the morgue performing autopsies. 

She has an excellent eye for detail, and unsurpassed knowledge of anatomy and neuroscience. 

Her history is a clean slate, a human of only 24 years. She aspired to be a veterinarian as a child, but after a local murder, she changed her focus towards medical science.

She has some sort of strange past-life connection to Flynt Ryan.

Karma/Nuyen Totals as of 11/5/12

Everyone should currently have a total of 50 Earned Karma after the intense sessions and side rp bouts we've been having lately.  Keep up the good work!

Money-wise, everyone should have earned 171000¥ from the Johnsons and the sale of the artifacts so far.  I'll get with you individually about expenses since a month has elapsed since the start of play IC.  Some people will have differing totals according to side RP.  Bear in mind, nothing ventured, nothing gained.  Side RP is a great way to get some more money!

Rules: Karma for Nuyen, Time Elapsed

It's been brought up a few times to me that it might be necessary to convert Nuyen to Karma for some characters and that there's realistically not enough time to pick up the new skills someone would learn from expending that money.

Well, look no further.

I'm proposing that individual sessions have a bit more in-game time between them, maybe a week or two weeks, depending.  That's ample time for people to get in side RP feasibly, do side jobs, or do research/scouting.

The other half of this post will be after the jump.
