If he needs one he'll just take one of theirs

>>96397650 (OP)
Aye, that would be Joe. He's a shaman, though. So he doesn't need one.

Mike is a physad who lived long enough to get a LOT of tactical insight.

>>96399866
Mike is an Edgelord.

>>96397688
How would he do that?

>>96400403
Well I guess he's gonna take it from him

Shadowrun character

Random Japanese Teenager Isekai to this Shadowrun

>>96400551
well, since there's not much detail given other than your PC dying on first encounter, did you do something to incite your character getting murked on first combat engagement?
honestly, just tell the story of how that happened.

>>96399866
All the tactical insight in the world can't stop you from being an out of shape 60+ year old man. Mike is a DYEL senior citizen manlet who is never ever shown to work out but somehow he's out there wrestling dudes a literal quarter of his age and 25% bigger than him in both muscle and height to the ground without problem. Fucking Tuco, a dude who regularly fights and is supposed to be 20-something during the show at the absolute prime of his fitness with presumably dozes of fights under his belt can't even knock Mike down. Mike is never shown to actually "fight smart" or be tactical when it comes to combat, he just grabs dudes who would curb stomp him IRL and effortlessly tosses them to the ground. He may as well have just said he was a no touch 17th degree blackbelt Aikido master.

Mike is a capeshit character.

>>96400798
All this text when you had
>Mike is a capeshit character.
Perfect line from the get go.

Also, nta, but there is a middle ground take: a great deal of people Mike is dealing with (not all, just majority) are effectively untrained civilians that may or might not carry a handgun. Even knowing the most basic self-defense gives you an enormous edge, even if they are physically bigger and stronger, because unlike them, you know what to do.
Still, Mike IS a capeshit character and it's especially obvious in Saul, where the actor is a decade older and can barely move, but they still go along with "Mike is this one-man army dude" schtick that was pushing it in BB already. I preferred it when he was just a clean-up guy and a seedy PI. That worked way better with the character

>>96400697
Yes, and?
Maybe he just started, after retiring in 40 years in Accounting Department and with his pension being too low to pay the rent.

I mean that's like the typical "backstory" of your average mall cop and night guard

Yeah, it's called Shadowrun, not Shadowgun you moron.

>>96402859
Its a joke about the overused comment about mike’s character

>>96402880
No shit! I would never figure it out it's a lame joke about "be afraid of old men in professions where you die young"! Thanks for sharing, Sherlock!

>>96402896
You seem very combative.

>>96402904
Said the guy who is both desperate for human interaction and in the same time obnoxious about it.
Go out and touch some grass, faggot

>>96402915
Why are you so angry?

>>96400551
>> roll up a new character, anon
laaaaame

his brain should had been taken and used in a robocop 2 style experiment

>>96402859
I've seen a handful of games that have an archetype that is basically The Normal Dude. Its a fun archetype to have at the table.

>>96402964
Depends entirely on a system.
Consider this: you can make a Normal Dude in Shadowrun. Good luck making one in, say, Broken Compass, where by design you can't

>>96397650 (OP)
Why was Mike needlessly antagonistic here?

>>96402999
He wasn't. The other guy was.

nobody on this board could pull off a run without having to shoot somebody along the way

>>96402988
yeah, it's for something that dances on the line between comedy and action.

>>96403015
are we talking a shadowrun or just a run around the block?

>playing Shadowrun
>character isn’t making runs entirely to fuel his crippling NERPS addiction

>>96397688
It's a protection job. Basic common sense you need a gun to protect Mr. Johnson.

>>96397650 (OP)
You posted this before.

>>96404155
This was straight up the setup in my last SR campaign with the addition of me a building over with an anti material rifle.

>player has less than 1 full point of essence left

>>96397650 (OP)
Does everyone in modern America have a gun?

>>96406791
Nah we learned from Uganda and now everyone knows kung fu

>>96400798
Literally channelling mana can stop you being out of shape, which is what I said originally. Go be a cocksucker in some other thread.

Mike is more of a face with a couple combat skills.

>>96413680
I couldn't think of an archetype that could combo mild superheroism with that level of grouchiness.

>>96402929

This exact phrase showed up everywhere this week. Things will get better when he gets a car.

He goes by Uncle Fester in the shadows, chummer.
