Paulie:
I know you've said that you'd be working vampires in this game much like the characters from White Wolf's "Vampire: the Masquerade". Unfortunately, I'm not incredibly familiar with the vampires from the World of Darkness; however, I have been reading what I can on the internet. I am getting all of my information so far from here:

If you want to run anything in a different way, please let me know. Until then, I am designing my character with this in mind.

BeCK's can be found on the Shadowrun Supplemental's website. It is a PDF format.
We have a lot of housekeeping stuff to do for Sunday, so no In Character posts yet.
Epsilon: The Clans will remain unchanged, except that they won't be so nearly powerful, nor will they be exact representations of the SR world of Vampyrs, but its a good starting point.
I like the powers as well but I need to really read them carefully, determine which ones are appropriate and which ones don't jive, and then determine how they work. Welcome to work in progress!
By the By I will be opening a new thread for In Character posts. This whole thread will be OOC for all In Character threads.

Okay more information for all of you:
Lynch
Lynch is your fixer. He is a human male of average build. It is obvious Lynch has some previous paramilitary experience of either security or military origins. Lynch has brown hair that is stylishly cut, and dark blue chrome cyber eyes, with no irises. He generally dresses down-blue jeans, black Pea coat, and a leather gloves. He generally wears shades when he is outdoors, or it is day light out.
His character is gruff, but honest. He has guided each of you to some sweet jobs, and takes a modest 15% commision off what you make. Lynch generally travels with two or three body guards, one of which is always his driver.
More to come.Chip
Your street kid contact is chip, an oataku decker, who is a supergenius at 13. He has a relationship with each of you, I will flesh out once I have a finalized look at your PC's.

Well, I'm as far as firearm customization on Grudge, so it looks like he'll be totally 100 percent finished soon. Man, I'd never read all of Cannon Companion before. I need to take some Valium now.
On a different note, would anyone mind giving detailed character descriptions [physical descriptions, that is] to Paul, with the eventual goal of having him draw all the characters? Paul, how would you feel about doing this? There are multiple reasons I'd like to have pictures of everyone, not least of which is the inevitable possibility of animation.

Here's what I have so far on Grudge. [xx is the indicator I use to remind me that a detail is not completed, just so you don't think Grudge really weighs xx kilos.]
Grudge's life is one of contradiction and irony, complexity and secrecy. He's a troll, and large even for his race, topping 3 meters and xx kilograms. It can be a burden, sometimes, having someone so large on the team. Conference rooms never have the right chairs, and he frequently can't stand fully upright in older buildings, meaning he has the choice of standing, hunched, against the ceiling, or sitting on the floor. And, to be blunt, he's really, really ugly. But he makes it work; his charm overcomes his appearance, and his leadership seems natural and calm.
He's intelligent, much more so than any troll anyone remembers meeting, and more well-educated than even most humans. And not just in normal, bookwise subjects, but also in tactics, combat, military history. And many times the team has witnessed the surreal spectacle of their xx meter troll going through his Tai Chai katas in the morning.
His education is not deep, but rather broad. While he's not the expert in many fields, he appears to have a collegiate knowledge of a number of disciplines, while possessing a surprising lack of ability in some of the most basic survival skills.
He hasn't volunteered much about his past, but the team knows more than most people: Grudge came to Seattle a few years ago, worked odd jobs for pay, no questions asked. His competence quickly led him up the underground food chain, but he has managed to maintain a very low profile outside the business, while seeming to know everyone inside it; he's also not camera-shy or paranoid about his appearance, so if there's someone looking for him, he doesn't seem compelled to hide. His accent is CAS or rural UCAS, but he can do a pretty scary "dumb grunting troll" imitation when intimidation - or underestimation - is required. Nevertheless, his CAS accent is, well, /bad./ But so is his British accent - the one he uses in private. So is his French. So is his UCAS. Wherever he's from, he seems to be making some major effort to make it look like he's from nowhere at all, or everywhere.
Grudge isn't as expert in combat as the rest of the team, but he seems to know his way around most small arms. While his practice in Tai Chi is put to good effect, his real strength is with his most fearsome weapon: a xx meter dikoted claymore. He has a strong grasp of small unit tactics, and sometimes seems to view encounters more like set-piece battles on a board than humans fighting for their lives. Still, he's more often right than wrong, so people usually listen to what he says.

As an interesting side note, Grudge can bench-press about 2,000 lb [900 kg]. This is also about how much he weighs. Interestingly, very few vehicles in Shadowrun have a 1-ton load capacity. It's worth noting that none of the SUVs or, ahem, riot control vehicles have such a capacity. Only semis and the like, by and large, can haul Grudge, and Gyro probably weighs almost as much. Sorry about your suspension, Baby C. Kind of makes you wonder how Cassandra's hooptie made it across a jungle island with us.
Just a reminder of exactly how big "big" is.
