Everyone in Shadowrun has one, usually. Real names are dangerous after all.
How many characters put into consideration where the knickname comes from? And how many happened in-game? One happened in-game with our group. Vic, the group's driver and connection to one of the Mafia families in Seattle. They were collecting a debt from a cab driver who had suddenly gone missing, and were investigating his taxi. Unfortunetly, Vic misheard the number the cab was (Or suffered mental dyslexia), and got into Cab 24 instead of Cab 42. The second he's inside the passenger's seat, the door slams and locks beside him, and he's being driven away by some insane Indian yelling at him in Punjabi. At twice the legal speed limit, at least. Using his Cybernetics, he displays to the group what is going on, and demands help. His reply? Laughter. It turns out the guy he was with is the Trainer for the Cab Company, and he gets overtime as long as he's "Training Someone". Finally, the group gets the dispatcher to let Vic out, but not before recording what happened, and forwarding it to his Mafia Contact. Ever since, he was known as "Vic the Cabbie". As Mafia knicknames go, not too bad. |
