Character Creation

Character Creation

1. The game setting will be taking place in the Android: Shadow of the Beanstalk/Netrunner universe. There might be some minute alterations to the timeline or current events. All in all, utilize the source as is.

2. Please consult the following before creating a character for background and mechanics:

• List of skills
• The game premise
• The crash course
• The house rules

3. After starting XP, each character gets an additional 120XP. Please note your starting XP spending and your additional XP spending separately, and remember that Characteristics can only be increased with XP with your starting XP.

(Note: you need not spend all and may save up XP if you wish)

4. I will be allowing all Character Archetypes in this game, which includes Natural, Bioroid, Clone, Cyborg, G-Mod and Loonie (also, Martian under the same profile). Your character must have a valid reason to be there in their concept. A Bioroid or Clone must have a sponsor (very often an owner) to participate, whether legitimate or not.

5. Characters may be made with any career found in Android: Shadow of the Beanstalk, which comes with their own set of starting gear. Careers found in Genesys may be used as well, but requests will be granted on a case-by-case basis.

6. Characters will use Talents found in Android: Shadow of the Beanstalk, as well as those allowed from Genesys, noted in the former book. I would recommend taking a look at the "Player's Guide", which lists all the available talents in the setting and their abilities.

7. It is not required but recommended that your character belongs to a faction in the setting. This does include the big four corporations of Haas-Bioroid, Jinteki, NBN and the Weyland Consortium. This also includes the NAPD, Government, and small entities as well. As a forwarning, there will be conflicts of interest if a character belongs to any anti-establishment factions, please take that into heavy consideration.

8. All characters start with an additional 5000 credits for pre-game purchases. Starting items will be capped at Rarity 8. Restricted items are fine to purchase at this point too (this can be explained through Government, Corporate or Criminal connections). No one item may be worth more than 4000 credits.

9. Your character needs to be tied to the city council committee formed by recently elected New Angeles Mayor Alice Delgado, either as an official committee member, an associate or an aide. Members of this city council committee don't have to be tied directly to the city but must have the public intention of aiding in the expansion of the Docklands on Heinlein, Luna. Everyone might have their own reasons or agenda but ultimately must have the shared goal of seeing the project realized.

10. Character submissions can either be sent to kunioharu (at) gmail.com, through PM here, posted in PF here, or through PM on Discord to me.

11. It is recommended that skill choices from Archetypes and Careers are made obvious on the character sheet, see example below.
