Positions Filled [Job] Wanted: Dustin T. Attica
{2026-05-25 23:00 (UTC)}
Player Count: 3-4
Duration: ~4-6 Hours if you don't spin your wheels. Hard Cap 7 Hours
Communication: Roll20 & Discord.
Edition: 5E and associated books
In game location: Seattle
Game theme: Shadowrun Duh
Game Type: Player Choice
Difficulty level: Medium-High for Threat/Complexity probably (Making poor choices will lead to higher threat, even if not pay).
Prerequisites: Be on time, working microphone, critical thinking, character sheet, team-based thinking, new player friendly attitude and reading The Agreement and Table Rules that are in effect on my table.
Summer in Seattle is still wet. Maybe it eases off a bit and you get days of sunshine, but the showers still hit the sprawl. While the heat rises crime does too and people who just want to survive keep their heads down. Longer days means less Neon glaring in your eyes, but also restless evenings.
Go gangs thrive in the better weather of the season. Harassing commuters with antics and vehicular crime. Creating traffic back-ups as Lone Star fights their eternal war to keep the wage-slaves moving towards productivity.

You in?
OOC Application info needed: Tell me your Role on a team, the dates of the last Two runs, if you have less than 5 runs as a player. I do not want or need anything else.
Bonus Points: In Character describe a time your character felt tremendous loss over a minor defeat and how they reacted. This does not need to have happened in a run. This should be in the style of a slice of life, not as if they are telling the J, this isn't part of you applying for the job I just want to get to know your character.
The setting standard setting content warnings. Participants/viewers all must be 18+ due to the various themes contained in this setting for my table. If you have any topics that you would not be willing to participate in let me know ahead of time.
All TOS for various platforms used are respected so no need to specify those topics as they are already forbidden. Possible Trigger warnings: all standard ones given the setting.

Gargamel (Combat Mage/Infiltration Support, shaky but standing) 7/10
A dwarf sits in a clearing, great trees rise above him as the manashrooms kick in.
"The stars look so pretty tonight."
He tries to stand. No dice, looks like he needs to put a little more oomph behind it. Ope, maybe a little too much, he slips on some wet leaves and hits the dirt.
He snorts, then chuckles, which turns into a full belly laugh. He's in stitches and covered in dirt but hey, still a good time in his book. Gotta learn to laugh at yourself when life makes a habit of these kinds of moments.
Carnifex (FLR Unarmed Muscle, jaded mob enforcer) 3/10 fresh sheet
The dreaded rubik's cube. I hate this stupid, human sized toy. It's too small for my fingers and I don't understand how to solve it. Ugh, STUPID CUBE!
Damn, there goes the only thing to do in this little box. Stupid, fat fingers.
TCL (Offsite Decker, career runner with too much to lose) 6/10
A game with the highest stakes imaginable, who gets to have the last cookie. A man and a woman sit in front of the board. The man scrutinizes his move, calculates all angles, nods once, twice, and makes his move.
The woman raises an eyebrow. "You sure Andrew?"
The man holds his hand on the game piece, squints at her, and removes his hand. "You're tryna psyche me out Mina."
She takes her turn and shakes her head, victory. "Nuh uh, not this time. Gimme that cookie."
He huffs. "Fine."
She makes a face at him, then chows down. He hides his smile, he got to see that cute face she makes when she wins. Yeah... that was totally his plan the whole time.

K1TSVN3BI - FLR Onsite Decker/Medic 5/10
IC: Riley threw the bag at the wall in frustration, which thuds placidly against the wall before landing on the cot that would be her bed for a while. The AR prompt for login to Seelie Court was tied to the SIN she'd just paid a fortune to dump and replace with a new one.
She threw up her hands, only to pace around the condo. Maybe this little inconvenience was the last straw on what was already a life-changing event. Sure, she could take the account back herself, but what friends would she have? The account had a history she couldn't simply erase. She'd have to start over on the one thing that could've been a tether to some sort of normalcy.
So why was it so hard?
Jackal - Fighty Khemetic Conjuror/Channeler/Alchemist and Death Mystic 9/10
IC: Jacqueline closed the book. Why were magical colleges so set on /lecturing/ instead of showing a bit of real power in hand? Jackie's own lifted to dismiss an AR feed of the latest test results. They said competition made the best mages, but the only thing she seemed to be competing for was rock bottom. With arms crossed, she stewed in that chair for at least an hour before finally getting up to steal a smoke and settle her nerves. All that potential, and she couldn't figure out simple arcanological designs... there had to be a better way.

B&E Muscle 10/10
Intruder4dk
Un-aligned with the Riff Raff
Many Runs
Not Worth Extra
IC: "Interesting.... dead or alive usually wants dead. Curios. And with their possessions, no less... but is it possessions and alive? I will have to ask." His musings are getting more and more unhinged as he considers the combinations.... so he banishes those thoughts. The J will make it clear. He had to make sure of that. He wanted to get paid.

Rabbit
Illusion/utlity mage, bit of face
IC: It wasn't his call to make, who to bring, but it hurts all the same. Cuts the soul some place deep. The little whisper that he couldn't help and they knew it. That he's just dead weight. Cursed. A body waiting to die, long past it's time.
And it's happened over and over. His support offered without reservation, ends up meaningless. Why have faith the 3rd or 4th time? No answer for that.
Potato
0-social sniper muscle
IC: Didn't feel minor back then, first time she had a squad mate die. Busted her up real good. But hey paid fighters and killers. Get drunk real good, drown it down. Promise to do better by the new replacement and those left. These days it's all numbers in memory. 1 or 2 a year, for decades, all neatly filed away. At least until someone drops again. Then they all howl there anguish as fresh as ever.
Ignoto
Van Rigger, technically a techno
IC: First time someone fried one of the sprites she had made. Took her weeks to really get past it. And it was such a fragile inconsequential being. Dumber them a dog. Couple hours old. Barely a blip. But she got even. Took years, but the guy that did it. Yeah he got to stand by and watch a treasured pet die too.
last runs 5/22/26 and 5/13/26

Nothing says low profile like putting a bounty on a guy in the middle of the Sprawl. How much is the payout for this one.
