Well, here is Bloody converted as per rules on the Contact and Adventures source book. He took a hit on his attributes (SR3 natural Attribute x 2/3, round down to get the SR4 Attribute).
But still, not too bad, eh?

Well, better get used to him. He will return to the shadows for some reasons, which I will write out once I've got some time.

[Stefan [GM]]

Just for a little bit of reference here ...
I had 17 Karma and ~250,000 NuYen when I stopped playing Bloody. I spend 16 Karma to imporve some skills and spend the Money on a decent comlink with programs and other, minor upgrade throughout his gear.
I rolled his start money according to middle lifestyle (4D6 x 100).
He also had skills in martial arts (used to be real active skills in SR3), which I took out and bought with the Karma from the Skills the martial arts quality and maneuvers.

If you look over the stats, he makes for an awesome fighter, but is weak against magic attacks and if he does get hit, he can't take too much damage (not more than a weak Ork, really). So, I think he is still playable in a normal SR4 group, and might even offer a good anker for connections in the shadows.

The reason I did this is that, while I love Desmond, the Assassin is not so much fun to play in a random setup, because his background is intended for a larger story. That doesn't mean I won't play Desmond even if an infiltration character is needed, but I'd prefer to jump back into my favorite character of all times, Bloody (the few times I play and not GM anyways).

And I thought I'd be over doing dirty jobs for dirty people.
Wrong again.

We've been to Europe, to Africa. We've fought evil spirits, went to bed with fork-tongued German dragons, killed an army of super-clones, and I'll be damned (again) if I didn't deserve to retire.
2064 - the re-revolution of metahuman society, and as much as things change, they stay the same after all.
I lost all contact to my team. Malkav stayed in Germany, now that he found a clue to his past life. Some sort of age-old warlock, survived in the midst of time and reborn as the elf, that couldn't remember a fucking thing until he met his, well, wife from way-back-when. Drek-shit.
The rat is gone. Maybe dead, maybe just back in the whole of garbage, that he came from. who knows ... I've seen this kid grow to a very powerful shaman and the unnerving pulse of mana around that rat won't be missed.
The same year, Fred, the hiphop-trash-metal-break-it-all-or-worse Ork, decided to leave Seattle. Where, I don't know. Maybe it's for the best. After both of us had visions of a time before time, where both of us were leading an army against each other, parting ways now seemed to be the smartest thing, before the fate of our ancestors catches up to us. I'm sure it will anyways, one day, when I try to retire again.
And Predator. Pred, the living prototype of any cutting-edge delta-experiment ever conducted by mad scientist, he is gone, too. Through his clones, he lived so many possible lives, died so many possible ways, eventually he lost his own personality. And who could blame him ... By the end of the 60's, I've lost all contact with him and the stories around his clones faded and made room for a new age of technology and absurd wonders, like 'mancers and drakes.

Very well then.

My fixer is still in the biz, though his network suffered with the crash and new, younger competitors. But he is a good ol' buddy, and as long as the jack in his head ain't rusting, he will get me jobs.
The Halloweeners are done for. Too bad for them as a whole, but they aren't giving up, at least. I've yet to meet their new head, Nightmare, as it seems, but I can count on the rest of the troop to cover my back - and vice versa.

So, maybe we all saved the world at one point or another (or are just very efficient figures on a large-scale chess game, fuck-knows), but in the end, it's just me, a handful of old buddies, and my mustang.
My lifestyle is covered with small jobs as bouncer, Mr. J's bodyguard and other, small-time jobs. Not much, but it pays the bills.

Enough of the mundane shit. I went to Scotland and followed an old trail leading to a feud spanning several generations. Turns out, the bloodsucker, that started this whole downward-spiral, that I call life, wasn't just a random infected maniac, but an old arch-rival of my ancestors. Figures, cosmic fate and drek.
I found him, and I killed him. For now, anyways ...

I don't know, what is supposed to happen next, but it won't be good. It never is. I need cash, new connections, chummers to count on when my life starts to choke again - and we all know it will sooner than later.
So it's back to the shadows. Back to slums of Seattle, the dark corners in the clubs, the suits offering goods in back allies, and all this depressing shadowrunner-BS.

You safe the world and it kicks you in the balls.

Very well, again.
