The Ork Influencer, a Better Ork Archetype for Shadowrun (1st Edition)
This recent spate of archetypes was inspired by the art of @skullchicken, and when I saw the above images, your first thought might be “Ork Rocker”, but I opted against that because:
The Rocker is the most useless archetype of all time.
I’ve already made an Ork Rapper.
Instead, I’m stealing an idea from the excellent 2nd Edition Podcast Pink Fohawk and the NPC of Faye Feelzall, who is the Sixth World version of a Social Media Influencer. It admittedly could be better if I included some cyberware from the Street Samurai Catalog, but still sticking with core rulebook. They will be moderately cybered, focusing on cybereye/ears and filling a surveillance niche on the team. In addition, they will be the first character I’ve ever made that has followers:
“As many as five archetypes come when you call. Roll 1D6+1 to see how many are available at any time. They are willing to die for you. They have standard Archetype Ratings and Cyberware, but you supply the gear.”
Because let’s face it – makes sense for an influencer.
