	I'~~m not gonna sugar coat it~~.		Look, I like infected players. I like the concept of having to fight your inner beast if you don't want to be a monster mentally. But...

			I'm not gonna sugar coat it.

	Dress it up, run from it, reason it away. At the end of the day you are playing a flesh eating monster that feasts on the blood of man in some form or another. You are almost universally reviled by the common person for the monster that you are. Only certain places even give citizenship to such beings and its done with caveat. There is an infected nation of ghouls/infected and it is a pariah state that is actively policed and locked down with a militarized border with shoot on sight orders from its neighbors.		Dress it up, run from it, reason it away. At the end of the day '''you are playing a flesh eating monster''' that feasts on the blood of man in some form or another.

There is an infected nation of ghouls/infected and it is a pariah state that is actively policed and locked down with a militarized border with shoot on sight orders from its neighbors.

	Any travel you wish to take will have to be discreet and most likely private. Suborbitals are lethal to you because going into a manavoid as a dual natured creature will kill you. All ships that are passenger and livestock WILL be screened with mana barriers. Public transportation in general is simply not a thing for you for anything leaving the sprawl.

	You MUST take active precautions to mask your presence and your true nature. This includes using disguises with disguise kits, keeping your aura from being able to be assensed through windows, walls and simple smart play working around your glaring monster status that can be seen. Remember you can mask and hope that works for astral security, but this is still illegal.		You MUST take active precautions to mask your presence and your true nature.

			If this seems combinative or hostile, please understand I'm saying it to warn you as an infected player on my table. You generally get a large laundry list of powers and ability in exchange for these weaknesses, so it has to be balanced around that fact. If you want to fully embrace your monsterhood on my table, I am all for it. Just be wary of how you go about it. Fear the night, be that which goes bump.

	For example, if trying to stakeout a place, don't use an Ares Roadmaster of all things. Yes its "legal" in the same way that wearing FBA to a nightclub is.

Yes its "legal" in the same way that wearing FBA to a nightclub is. Its going to stand out if such a tank is just sitting around isn't registered to a local entity. Using cars that blend in, are ubiquitous and don't draw heat are best for stake outs or just not wanting to draw attention to yourself. (On the other hand, distraction is a tactic runners can use liberally. If they are looking at the hot pink roadmaster, the americar in standard grey will most likely be given less attention.)

	So first and foremost. Lets start at the basics. Rule Zero, shadowrunners exist. Professional criminals exist and security of the world will reflect this. On the other hand, shadowunners are uncommon and rare as a profession, generally most don't last long or retire early. You MUST practice opsec at a certain point on my table, as you will be noticed by security or at least registered as a threat. Depending on your notoriety this can get really bad quickly. I generally start at a threshold of 20 for memory tests and lower it for each point of SC you have when being noticed by actual professional security forces that can run facial recognition technology. With that in mind I will actually try to build a believable world with actual security that makes sense for the situation. This can be a tell in my game that something might be off. Having high SC, with some PA and not disguising will almost certainly get you recognized in places with actual security. Though this can be to your advantage if you are wanting to create a distraction. Though that comes out with it's own downsides as always chummer.		So first and foremost. Lets start at the basics.

			Generally one runs that are high threat and above, when I talk about opsec. This means using secure communications, making sure you aren't followed. You have the ability to not draw attention to yourself like a lightbulb and to not have security breathing down your neck.


			For example, if trying to stakeout a place, don't use an Ares Roadmaster of all things. Yes its "legal" in the same way that wearing FBA to a nightclub is. Its going to stand out if such a tank is just sitting around isn't registered to a local entity.


			If you are using DNI, you need be clear that if you draw attention to yourself, security deckers can and will potentially snoop your communications, your commlinks or any wireless on cyberware that might be used to spy on you.


			Another example, if using a fake SIN, where is this fake sin based out of? How active is it's history? Does it have a face tied to it? If so if any security forces using facial recognition technology are able to do a t3 or t6 search on you and start checking your purchase history. They might be able to tie this to the fake that you are a shadowrunner depending on how you use that SIN. If this SIN only sporadically pops up in Seattle for example and there is no history of you using it to get into the country legally, chances are police or security forces might want to bring you for potential questioning depending on the heat or way you present yourself.

	Always be conscious of what you are actually wearing in a situation. How you present yourself as a runner and how other NPCs will react to what you are wearing. Wearing an armored jacket in the barrens will barely get you looked at. Wearing a 10k nuyen suit that is obviously nice will make you immediately stand out. Either you are a tourist who is dumb or someone worth robbing because you are wearing several months of rent. Likewise wearing an armored jacket in an extremely nice area might get you looks unless you make efforts to make it look nice or accentuate it with other things.
