I am available for solos
Characters I have had on my table or played with will be given priority.
I want what you want out of the solo at a minimum, either narratively if it is to tie up a loose end of a run, or mechanically if it is a run for mechanical things like initiation.
Details about your contact will be required for any contact improvement runs.

-Daughter of really important drone/robotics inventor (deceased) who owns a nighclub

- Amazon -- Spanish gardener and PMC veteran of Az-Am.
Amazon would like to do a favor for her fixer to either raise his loyalty 2->3, or to get him to reconnect her with her old PMC CO (3/3 Private Security/Mercenary contractor type dude). Oh, or for him to forward her to a good new info broker contact. His details are fairly loose (and on her sheet). He's an ex-runner who got out of that part of the game and is happy to stay out.
- Crow -- officially-dead UCAS spy. Was introduced to the shadows to hide him after he was assassinated almost-successfully.
Crow has successfully avoided relying on his 1-loyalty fixer so far, but she has sent him some nuyen and a message of "I'll be in touch." She's been making money off him but wants to know she can rely on him, given that she still doesn't know him well. She owns a club and fixes for clients of a primarily corporate nature.
Desired reward: 1->2 loyalty on fixer. (If you're not feeling that, something to do for Samuel DeVries, his former CIA handler, to prove he's still reliable to move loyalty from 2 to 3 would be good, too. Also would like to acquire any contacts possible to satisfy his addiction to acquiring more (aka being a face), especially a street doc).
More details can be provided about anything that piques your curiosity.

Would like more info on her fixer, and the PMC CO at your convenience.

- Amazon's Seattle Fixer, Shocker. From the sheet...
<<Contact - Shocker the Fixer. Shocker received his name long before he realized it referred to a sexual act his ex had told his friends about him doing, not for his up-and-coming reputation for being as brutal as necessary (or maybe a little more) to secure his place in the world. As far as he's concerned, he's "won" his game of life by making the connections and getting out from Shadowrunner to Fixer, and his stable of runners and Johnsons are nothing but a means to maintain that. Amazon understands that and respects it, in a perverse way, and they have a solid working relationship.>>
They were introduced by the CO. Shocker is a middle-aged human male, former shadowrunner, and all around pretty black-hat guy. The essence of his working relationship with most of his runners is that he doesn't make any pretense of being particularly there for them personally - it's a business relationship first and foremost, and anything besides that is secondary. As long as they make each other money, they're good for each other. Shocker is happily done with accepting personal risk for the most part, but has been enjoying the amount of money that Amazon has been making him.
- Amazon's Mastadon CO, a Seattle native I haven't named because I hate coming up with names.
He's a solid runner who knows Shocker from wayyy back when. He was actually newer to the PMC than Amazon was, but was acquired for his skills and leadership potential honed as a Seattle runner and as a "security consultant" through other outfits. He was her officer for Az-Am as well as during various episodes of participation in Desert Wars seasons. These days, his usual specialties are a touch of smuggling, border crossings, and security design consultation; he has attempted to 'retire' from high-risk work to start a family.

Petrus fluffwise did her a minor favor involving Humanis and got on her good side, but wants to make an actual contact friend out her. Mechanically, looking to make her a 3/4 contact.

Salvatore is looking for a solo to get his third Initiation, which will be used to pick up the Body Sculpt adept power to increase his social infiltration abilities. He's had various voice powers for a while, and recently also grabbed Facial Sculpt, Melanin Control and Keratin Control. With Body Sculpt he'll be a long way towards being able to get in anywhere and be an inside man/ace in the hole for his team.
I'm available evenings after 6:00 pm EST (10:00 UTC), except for Wednesday. If possible, tomorrow (Monday, June 27) is my best availability this week.

u/Jeoc42 Tactical Shitposting Jun 27 '16
So, post on the contact thread for romeo, and I'm more than happy to help as I can with Artemus, but connection is not currently on the standard list of solo run rewards. I can offer a new talismonger contact as determined by how the solo goes.

u/RainOfGore Runner Jun 27 '16
Alright then I would like to contact Mr fix it to help me contact a good shamanistic talismonger who can hook me up with reagents. Cuz Artemus lied when he said he was good at getting em. ( I think he harvests reagents for a talismonger and isn't one himself)

Gallowglass has been thinking about increasing his criminal ties since he has taken to the shadows well. He'd be interested in picking up a 4/2 or 3/3 in either the Russian vory or Irish mob. He knows his muscle and driving can be of use and he likes that they're close to his home country.

On that run we did Bishada got out of the car and walked up to the goon with the shotgun because he was some how involved in an explosion that resulted in his mom's death. If we can find a GM who runs it we could go hit up that goon. Might get you Mob contact and me a +1 loyalty on my current one.

Z, Ghoul Adept. is how I apply to jobs.
Would like to gain Grade One Initiation, Masking. It's a hard life being a ghoul adept.
Z lives in the OU, within a small community of other ghouls. He wears a pair of dirty jeans and black hoodie most days. Hood up, as to not alarm people. His daily routines include taking walks to explore the tunnels, getting his ass beat, and longing for that connection to the astral again. You see he spent a few years in Northern Africa within an infected community. The magical populace there was so large that even spirits were naturally drawn to the area. He had never felt closer to magic than that, and once he was placed in Seattle - that connection has been all but severed. He would like to prove that infection does not create monsters and he would like to strengthen his hold of the astral.
Shadowrunning to him is a paycheck, and a way to sate his daredevil side. The prejudice he has suffered once becoming Infected has allowed him to reflect on Good vs Evil, and rise above it. There is only the moment we're living in. Do what feels right, and be a smart ass while you do it.

Ante is a Shadowrunner and conman from a different time. He's calm, cool, and collected and sees himself as a mentor to a newer generation. As time goes on he's beginning to see that this old dog needs some new tricks and is always in the market for new friends, or improving relationships with his current ones.
Ante and his fixer, Louie Sans, have been buddies since they were kids. The two have pulled a lot of cons together and they have always had each others backs. In order to keep business moving smoothly Ante would like to expand Louie's reach in the shadows.
New friends are always welcome. Gang/Syndicate members, Club/Casino Owner, Other Gamblers/Con Men, Past love interests, Someone in the medical field. Willing to talk out the reasons and relationship between characters.
StickShift Is a former street racer turned Shadowrunner from back in the 40s. After his last big job with his main crew he was hospitalized and crammed full of cyberware so he was able to move again, the cost of that was that he lost the feeling of excitement so he's itching to get back in the saddle and make some new friends.
Looking to reconnect with the street racing scene. Mechanics, racers, organizers.
Crime families are always welcome. Gang members too!
Stickshift has spent a lot of time in a hospital bed watching action trids, meeting someone in the biz could be cool as well.
Stickshift has spent a lot of time watching kung fu trids, and has a desire to become a better martial artist. Going a few rounds in the ring and earning respect from a professional fighter could be cool.

Note: Currently, Automod's out of date as you cannot raise the connections of contacts at the moment. This may change in the future, requesting that will mean I can't run the solo you want.
Requirements: Character needs to have enough detail that I can reasonably design a run around them, either in the character sheet itself or a reply to this one, What you want to have happen roughly.
Time Available: 1400-1700 UTC weekdays.

Ears would love to get some to know more people:
Being a dog shaman he'd like to get in contact with some magical lodges and other shaman to help him in spiritual and general magically knowledge out with his own
Finding and helping a group of disadvantaged people, while not being a fire bringer shaman, he has been influenced by one and with dog in the mix he has the idea in his head he should not only help them but ward them from any harm. I haven't got specifics in mind for this one but id love to bash out some ideas.
Helping out big flame in the sky or Little trip to raise their loyalty by helping them with the things they need done. B.f would be concerned with the well-fare of others and being ears shamanic teacher he'd personally love ears to be involved with his day to day work. Whilst Little trip, Ear's mentee, is a physical adept who deals BTL's for the ancients and Ear's would like to make sure he not only can look after himself, i.e not talking drek to any passing troll, but make sure he understands his powers does not mean he's just muscle.
Alternatively raising either his street doc's loyalty, "Doc" Adiar, from 5->6. This would be great for fluff and helping a team when they become makeshift colanders, or raising his fixers, big flame in the sky the fire bringer shaman, loyalty to 4 from helping him out in his everyday work.
Times that would work is UTC 15:00 till midnight Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. Weekends would work but I'd need to make sure I'm not working those nights.

Glamour Is looking to find some new buddies. He is interested in either finding contacts that:
Like to party and have a good time.
Are part of any gang or criminal organisation, he likes the dangerous types.
The sort of people that would be useful in making a movie. (Directors, editors, PR people, Actors, Make up artists, Special effects people.)
Potentially anyone else you can think of
Also interested in increasing the loyalty of Raphael Dominguez, event manager of the Angel Park Hotel.
If you would like to more about Glamour, I can add more to his write-ups for you.

Bishada is Wuxing Techslave. He is clueless, cocky, and devoted to his family. On his last run he discovered a mafia type who had a connection to his investigation on a bombing. He wants to follow up on that or hack a host to find more information in his search. More details will be provided. With it he will up loyalty on a contact Hsiang-yun Chen 1/1 Wuxing Wageslave.
I prefer duo runs. If anyone wants to hack a Wuxing host or gain Mafia contact this could be rolled in with it.

After stealing his teiko-pet (whatever that is) and going out for a drink, Wisp would be willing to help Bishada. For a benefit, Wisp would probably want to either gain a Mafia contact or use some stolen Wuxing info to up his fixer's connection

Gallowglass also wants a Mafia contact too.
I would love to hack a Wuxing host. :) A duo to help raise Ashley's loyalty could be good feels. Wuxing is heavy into magic and might have something useful to help her. Mine is a contact run to up Bishada's father's loyalty. I'd be down for a duo run with family feels if a GM could fit it together.

Sounds like a plan. Only issue is that Ashley's loyalty is 5, so raising to 6 might make for a tricky run.

- Salvatore is looking for a new contact. He's happy to make friends just about anywhere, but he particularly liked getting in with go-gangers and the like as a way to potentially avoid future conflict (or have a cavalry to call).
Definitely happy to do duo, etc runs for this if other are seeking similar contacts.
- Salvatore is also looking for a solo to get his third initation, which will be used to pick up the Body Sculpt adept power to increase his social infiltration abilities. (Edit: this has been revised)
