GITS: A New Gig OOC

[Caulder]

Okay. So my last 2 RP's fell to ruin. But that has not deterred my creativity.

This next idea is going to be something a little different. The main universe is going to be a setting something like Ghost in the Shell, but with two key differences. One, magic exists in this world, more to be explained once interest is shown. Two, hacking isn't as simple as it is in Ghost in the Shell. You can't hack unless you have a computer or net terminal on-hand and have your brain plugged into it. Aside from that, there's not much difference from the show. The characters will be task-force operatives, just like in the show, but we will be on a different team from the main characters in GITS.

What do you all think?

Inquisitive Query: Are you planning on being a player or a gm?

 

[Caulder]

Re: The Burrito of DOOM! tries once again.

I'll be the GM, but I'll also have a character, if that's what you're asking.

Interest shown

Re: The Burrito of DOOM! tries once again.

Sounds a lot like Shadowrun.

Re: The Burrito of DOOM! tries once again.

Is that your equivalent of an "Interest Shown?"

Re: The Burrito of DOOM! tries once again.

Sounds a lot like robo cop... Or cyborg cop

Re: The Burrito of DOOM! tries once again.

Does that mean you're in?

 

[Tassadar]

Re: The Burrito of DOOM! tries once again.

Sure, why not. I'm in!

 

[Mamono Assault Force]

Re: The Burrito of DOOM! tries once again.

Eh, it depends, really... I've never watched Ghost in the Shell before, even though I did play the game for the PS back in the day. So I'll wait till I have a better idea on what to expect before hopping in.

Re: The Burrito of DOOM! tries once again.

Okay. Seeing as how this has enough interest, I'll be revealing to you the magic system.

Magic is a scientific anomaly found during modification of a human's neural net and nervous system. More specifically, cyberization has been viewed as the catalyst for magic. Magic is invoked through the use of a body modification, implanted under the skin on the right forearm. Most government agencies pay to have their agents given these upgrades, seeing as how they are both expensive and experimental. The maximum limit of installations for each human is three, any more and it would probably fry the nervous system. The cheaper mods tend to have a drug-like effect, and are highly addictive.

In short, Magic is obtained when you insert a hexagonal chip into one of three slots on your arm under the skin. These mods can give the wielder anything from electrical control to the ability to control certain animals. Each chip is unique, in that only one with it's powers currently exists. Each is experimental, and may result in injury or comatose.

That's the gist of what magic is.

So, uh...any other info you feel that people need to know? Weapon tech., the kind of work we'll be doing etc...?

Also, what about character sheets, should we start posting them now or once there's more info?

 

[Mirchie]

Re: The Burrito of DOOM! tries once again.

I never watched Ghost in the Shell either, but it sounds kind of interesting

What kind of thing is it about?

 

[Caulder]

Re: The Burrito of DOOM! tries once again.

Weapon-wise, all the weapons in Ghost in the Shell are bullet-based, as for the work we'll be doing, it's mainly just clean up work. Handling drug rings, taking down terrorists, etc.

Mainly, it's spec-ops kinda stuff. As for character sheets, once everything is all set and I get the subforum I'll post the sheet template

 

[Mirchie]

Re: The Burrito of DOOM! tries once again.

Does this include Handcannons?

Re: The Burrito of DOOM! tries once again.

You must be registered to see the links

Most of the weapons in Ghost in the Shell are produced by this arm's manufacturer, and if I remember correctly it is stated in the manga that the weapons have 0% jam rate.

Here's some other stuff on tech;

Mmmmmm, jam.....

Re: GITS: A New Gig OOC

Character sheets thread will be up momentarily.

Re: GITS: A New Gig OOC

I agree with above, sounds very much like Shadowrun. If you're adding magic to cyberpunk, I'd look into that, it's well thought out. Are you planning on running something via OpenRPG or something?

But basically, interest shown. I'm a real fan of cyberpunk and could use another diversion. How were you planning on running?

Re: GITS: A New Gig OOC

Burrito's going to be running it on the forum, so it'll be post-based like all other RP's here.
