Max age?
It depends, I'd think. I would say the regular +-85 for normal people. Up to 120-140 if you're from a well-off family with acces to fancy medical treatments. Full body cyborgs and the like can likely go even higher, but I think I won't allow you to start off as something like that.

Not at the start, no, though I'm sure you could find a way to become one. Netsurfing isn't without its dangers.

Why don't you pm me your idea and I see if we can work something out?

Name: Ken Oak
Appearance: A relatively thin man, with casual, messy black hair on his head. His heavily augmented eyes are hidden behind a pair of mirrored sunglasses that find themselves constantly on his face. His face is clean shaven, and he has a generally clean appearance. He typically wears armored business suits when working, though even his 'casual' outfits have a professional air about them.
Age: 24
Backstory: Ken was born in America, to two police officers. His parents used their connections to net Ken the same job, grooming him for the position all his childhood. Thus it became a simple matter for Ken to join the force, happily laying down the oppressive law for about a year before his parents vanished under suspicious circumstances. Having built up a good base of knowledge and connections at this point, he ended up abusing his position for his own reasons. Mostly, he sold weapons, information, contraband, and anything else that was worth anything to the kind of people who would buy it. Naturally, this could not last long. One of his parents' old contacts called him up in the middle of the night, telling him he has been found out. He fled the country at a breakneck speed, using all the best connections and knowledge available to him. He was headed toward Africa by daybreak. There, he took up his old business. The effect of his contacts lessened over the ocean, but he brought enough funds to turn enough heads to get dug in. Ever since then, he has made a living as a wandering arms and information dealer, mostly keeping himself physically in places owned by gangs or friendly corporations.
Aspects: Gunslinger (3), Black Market Dealer (3)

Looking good, you're in. Do you have a preference for what pistol/revolver you want to start out with?

Are we talking modern guns then? A Beretta 92FS Inox if so, or a civilian model of whatever Beretta is selling to the military in this setting if not. I'm feeling Woo-ey today :p. Either way, it probably has modified grips and sights and other things that don't effect its stats.

Yeah, I'm just going to stick to modern guns as to not overcomplicate things. Maybe some updated variations for military forces, but that's it.

And sure, you can fluff your gun however you like, but for stat increasing mods you're going to have to pay. Nice gun by the way, very sexy.

I kind of always assume that everyone has seen Ghost in the Shell, but I'm realizing that that might not actually be the case. Since basically everything setting-wise is taken directly from that, is there anything you guys feel I should put in the OP?

I'm not sure if augmentation should be an aspect, though. I was thinking that when you get augs, they work as aspects that give benefits. Like, say Stirk gets a bionic eye with an aiming module, he would get an extra Aiming module (1) on top of his gunslinger (3) when shooting someone, giving hima total of (4) extra dice. Make sense?

Name: The Roach
Appearance: A thin, scruffy man, encrusted with dirt and grime. His grey hair and beard are long and greasy from years without a shower, so much so that his hair sticks in place when he takes off his beanie. He tends to wrap himself in a long coat and scarf, brown with dirt, with fingerless gloves covering his hands.
Age: 26
Backstory: (I'm leaving him as a blank slate, gonna try the build his character as the game progresses approach. As of now, he's an amnesiac.)
Aspects: Social Stealth (3), Sabotage (3)

Neat. Explain to me what those two aspects would be, and how you would try to use them in a practical sense?
