I GM for my group and run a character at the same time. This guy has been around a long time, but alas, I'm having a kid and that along with travel is going to put an end to my shadowrun days for a little while, so want this guy to go out in such a way as to launch one last kick-ass adventure for my buddies.
His name is Ivan. He is formerly of Russia's MVD, where he served in a Spetsnaz unit. Him and a buddy (Brotchk Kutsev) defected and managed to make it out of the country and took off to Seattle where they set up shop as bounty hunters. Ivan was notorious for his often violent drinking binges with Brotchk. After a rough and tumble stint bounty hunting in Seattle, including being incarcerated for the death of a mark for which he served his time, Ivan and Brotchk ended up in Chicago, looking for a politician's daughter. They never found her. Of the team they went in with, Ivan was the only survivor. After a good bit of downtime, Ivan kicked his alcohol problem, vowing never to drink again, and went back to his bounty hunting, picking up a few new friends along the way. One big bounty was for a serial killer named Killian. Killian nearly gutted Ivan, but due to the skill and quick thinking of his friends, Ivan made it out and got to spend some of Killian's 50k bounty. With a good, rep, Ivan and his team were approached by the Yakuza, who after first using him to pose as a Vory, eventually ended up hiring the team for many different jobs. Ivan then made a second trip to Chicago with his new friends. This time, another extraction, only this one went over without a hitch, if you don't count the team getting wiped out and the extractee barely surviving. A medical clinic was levelled in this incident due to a bad move on Ivan's part. Ivan is known for making sure all the angles are covered and always helping a teammate in need. Also popular are the Barbeques held at his "clean" house for the team and their selected friends, which he and his friend Ramsey pay for out of their bounty money. Recently, Ivan housed one of his teamates at his own house in a time of dire need, when his friend was struggling to kick a kamikaze addiction. Ivan's made a lot of enemies, lets see how we can take him out. I have a potential run planned (should things work out and the players try and follow it) for each scenario. I'm going to leave it in the hands of the dumpshock community to determine which one we go with. Here are the basics: 1. Car Bomb - A lot of the team's exploits while they hooked up with the Yaks were directed at the mafia. Now it's time for payback. After agreeing to meet with a team member, Ivan walks out to his car and hops in. When he turns the ignition <BOOM> 2. Barbeque Massacre - Same situation as above, but maybe the big barbeque bash wasn't such a good idea when there are people out to get even. Maurice Bigio sends some heavily armed goons to get rid of Ivan once and for all. 3. Gutted by Killian - Killian, that maniac serial killer has busted out of prison, and is looking to sharpen his retractable spurs on Ivan's torso. 4. Resisting Arrest - Lone Star has been looking into a few incidents that have happened lately. Looks like Ivan's name came up. Or maybe someone fixed it so it would. 5. Chicago Payback - Looks like some friends figured out it was Ivan who caused that clinic to disappear back in Chicago. They're going to make sure he gets back what he did to those innocent people. 6. From Russia with Love - When Ivan left the MVD, he took a lot of state secrets with him. Better to not have someone with that knowledge out freelancing, and now that they've found him, it's time to send some of his Spetsnaz buddies to take his traitor-ass out. 7. Brotchk is Back! - Brotchk somehow survived in Chicago the first time around and is pissed that his best friend left him behind. Twisted and deranged, it's time to pay Ivan a visit. Ok, there they are. It's up to you, Dumpshock. |
