A Pirate queen/king would be great. I had been looking at a trust fund quality and if I could waggle that into maybe having a boat. I would be happy to split the cost of one!<br/><br/>My Adept looks to be focused mainly on guns actually very focused on pistols! and also stun batons...Sorta using Black widow as a concept! bascially a shooter with loads of skills to go with the heavy Techno tank!<br/><br/>Phaia<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Hmm, the Evo Aquavida in Rigger 5 is a houseboat with Middle amenities, available in 1 or 2 bedrooms, 115 and 135 K nuyen.<br/><br/>How does one be a pirate queen though?  You could have an armed ship, but that might get traced and blown up.  Or use jet skis to ride out and board, since the river isn't that wide.  Possibly dropping in with a helicopter.  A summoned water elemental could transport people across and aboard.<br/><br/>How does one get a crew?  I don't have Run Faster, but in the 1-2e era, you could pay 15K out of your starting equipment budget to have a gang, where 2d6 would show up when needed, or a set of allies for 100K.  That's long gone, likely because its problematic for the GM.<br/><br/>Having the crew as Dependents, like the 3 karma one... a fair sized crew, and someone always has some problem, and they just mind the store while she's out doing recon/runs perhaps.<br/><br/>In any case, she's somewhat of a Robin Hood-type and is definitely playing to the legend and image of Chinese river pirates.  She might even be from an unexpected background, like a corporate one.  "How did you wind up doing this?"  "It's a long story..."<br/><br/>Edit: That said, would you want to be part of her merry band, or just roomies?
