Intro

The deal is:
It is 2077. The Sixth World is the world of today. The Fifth World ended and The Sixth World began during the Awakening in 2011, when Magic returned to the world. Things Changed.
You are a Shadowrunner. Shadowrunners are the elite criminals of the Sixth World. When conflicts arise that cannot be solved by legal means, the corporations, governments, wealthy individuals, and even organized crime will subcontract their dirty work to deniable specialists.
You have recently arrived in Hong Kong - for whatever reason... seeking your fortune, hiding from a Seattle hit squad, searching for your deadbeat dad, whatever, your background is up to you. You don't know the other players (unless you have some cool angle you want to run).
You need some nuyen for.... whatever. To be honest, probably to stop you getting thrown out on the streets at this point. Someone has contacted you, going by the name of Mr Johnson. The name is no biggy - any clandestine corp contact worth his salt is not going to use his real name. He wants you and some other runners to meet in Aztec Cyber, a local bar. You just might have a contract.
If anyone wants me to build characters for them (which i might recommend as it's complicated - we can always adjust them a bit when we meet), the archetypes are basically-
Street samurai - tough guys. Good at guns or chopping people up. Tend to have cybernetics, and could be orks or trolls.
Deckers - hackers! Mess around with systems, take control of stuff wirelessly, shut down opponents smartlinked guns, research stuff, unlock doors, etc.
Riggers - similar, but focussed more on controlling drones (of which there are plenty of kinds) and taking control of enemy drones. Also can control vehicles and stuff, so could be a great wheelman. More likely to drive by plugging his brain into the car than using the wheel.
Mages - magicians. Spells, creepy shit, can use astral projection which is basically magic radar to avoid surprises. Some can summon things, some are spellcasters, loads of options.
Adepts - a bit like street samurai but buff themselves up with magic rather than cybertech. A bit like Neo in the matrix, or a D&D monk.
A Face - the charming charismatic leader. Negotiations, bargaining, intimidation, quick talking, etc.
Additionally you will also be a human, elf, dwarf, ork, or troll! You pretty much know what they are. I'm pretty super excited. I've got quite a few missions and an overarching plot written.
