Are shadowrunners fat?, Fat men in black leathers with katanas = t3h pwn Options

[Wounded Ronin]

So, I was just busy lying face-down in bed when I realized that I'm not sure whether or not shadowrunners are fat.

The obvious response is, "most shadowrunners are poor, ergo they are skinny". But it's not that simple. It's possible that they're poor, but that all the soy based food products with their vaguely-defined supposed ability to feed the world in spite of ongoing shortages are extremely caloric. Think about how in the US you can have people who are almost destitute living in a slum but they manage to get fat by drinking beer, cheetoes, fruit drinks with corn syrup, and all that sort of stuff.'

As I lay face down in bed sniffing my sheets (not time for a wash yet) I realized that if most or many shadowrunners were fat, it would be awesome, because then they'd be fat guys in black leathers with katanas and uzis. They'd actually look like characters from a low budget amateur film about mercenaries if the director for the film took random fat people from the neighborhood for the roles and came up with the costumes and props (weapons) as cheaply as he could. And after all, that's probably about right, seeing as shadowrunners are supposed to be poor and disenfranchised.

Plus, it's probably a stressful lifestyle, which could lead to overeating, drinking, and even obesity due to stress. I'm also sure that many people, faced with an elevated probability of violent death, might not bother to watch their diet or "work out", so I could completely see lots of shadowrunners being fat.

It's not like you need much to be a shadowrunner. I mean, in principle you need a good reputation to get the most lucrative and delicate tasks, but anyone could grab a handgun, a leather jacket, and a Dolph Lundgren hairdo and be willing to go assault an office for money. Lots of people might do something like that and not even worry about the long term consequences if their mindset is very much rooted in the present moment. And I imagine that if I were a Johnson I wouldn't mind having some very cheap fat dudes with leather I could hire for simple tasks, or even as cannon fodder/diversions.

The question is how many shadowrunners are there, how many jobs are there and are most of them simple or complicated, and how many of the shadowrunners basically suck? I think these questions will let us know how many shadowrunners should be fat with a katana. And they might have cavities, too.
