<<Crossposting this to the "Other Genres" forum as well.....>>

Been looking thru my various files and links for websites (ie: Surbrooks Stuff, GNBORH, etc) and I can't seem to find any versions for the crew of Section 9 from "Ghost In The Shell" (and related stories). Anyone have any lead/links for them ? I'm specifically seeking versions built with 5thEd(revised) but anything would be great.

I could have sworn that there was once a version of Maj Kusanagi posted somewhere but......

Thanks.

I could have sworn that Susano had done a write-up of The Major on his website but I can't seem to find it (the write-up, not the site.)

Yeah...I did another search of the forums here with the keywords "Major Kusanagi" and found this thread:

that led me to this:

So at least I have a version of her to start from....Still looking for existing versions of the others, most noticeably Batou, Togusa and Ishikawa. Because A) It'd be nice to see what others think of the characters and B) I can be a bit lazy at times and figure why re-invent the wheel if someone else has already done a write up...... :o

While at work today I had the idea of taking the write up for Bonaparte (from Dominion) at Surbrooks site ( http://surbrook.devermore.net/adaptationsanime/dominion/bonaparte.html ) and adding an AI and some tweaks to see if I can come up with a rough version of a Tachikoma. We shall see.......

The Kazei 5 sourcebook has a great section on cyberware and full body cyber bodies. Also good writeups on cyberbrains for netrunning. It has most of the pieces you need to write up just about any character from Shiro Masamune's Manga stories.

I'll second that. There is also a d20 Modern netbook that can be mined for ideas.http://www.serenadawn.com/GhostintheShellRPG.htm

I took down the Major because I wasn't happy with how the build worked. Now that I've written K5... I could create her using those rules.... well, you could if you want as well. The cyberhacking rules were inspired by the GITS manga and Batou's scene in GITS 2: Innocence where he hacks the eyes of the mooks in the bar.

Oh, and I'm open to suggestions for smoothing out any kinks in the cyberhacking section. Also, new programs and the like. I hope to accumulate enough to present Dave with a companion K5 volume in a few years.

Well, if that's the case, you better get with the suggesting.
