Backbiter

Backbiter

Archie Forester grew up in the wilds of the Everglades to the SINless tribes thereabouts. The swamps are both wildly beautiful and wildly dangerous. They say, before the world changed it was dangerous because of the gators and the pythons. That was a cake walk compared to now, and to grow up there? Whew.

Archie was hunting almost as soon as he could walk. He was a damn good shot and quick with his blades. It helped he had a touch of that magic too. He brought a lot of much needed food in to his small tribe.

Of course, out hunting is where he eventually met his mentor Spirit. He had never seen such a large alligator before and was licking his lips as he hunted the beast, only for bolts to not even penetrate it's hide. More, it looked right at him, almost speaking to him. He nodded in understanding and moved on.

His life changed and his appetite growing, he left his tribe and headed to the only place he could think of that would be able to satisfy his hunger, Miami. The world was opened up to the now named Backbiter. Cyberware, knives and all the food he could eat.

But he had to work for that and grew a reputation as a tracker and warrior. Some would even say that the now scaled Backbiter are anything, or anyone he could get his hands on.

@Whitehart09 Just a couple of questions

-Did you spend Karma to get the Atheletics Skill Group 1?

-Actually I'd appreciate a section breaking down your karma purchases in general if you don't mind.

-It looks like you are spending four more skill points then you have but I can't tell if that's from karma buying low-level skills/specializations

-Could you please list your knowledge skills?

-Your goggles are only rating 1 meaning all the attachments puts it far over it's capacity. You need rating 3 to fit all those attachments into them.

-Please list your amount of Nyuen left over

[Whitehart09]

So I totally mathed wrong on the Karma use. I did take an extra level of Outdoors when I could not afford it. I took it away and individually added a karma skill up in Survival, Tracking, Unarmed.

 

From what I can see of my Karma use:

Starting Karma: 25

Positive Qualities: -25

Negative Qualities: +28

Active Skills: -28

 

Knowledge Skills:

Area Knowledge: Everglades 3

Butchering 1

English (Native)

Smuggler Routes 2

Spanish 1

Wilderness Survival 3

 

I downgraded the goggles to only have the Smartlink. That should fill the 1 capacity

 

Left over Nuyen is 3,530

 

Please let me know if this answers all the above.
