If she was still living in the area with the people she betrayed. If she betrayed her running team, the current one. She is currently working for a terrorist organization bent on overthrowing the local government. |

Everyone in the shadows is anonymous and can generally disappear at will. There is very little trust anywhere, and business relationships in the shadows (buying guns, setting up runs etc) are based on trust, as they have to be. Being a traitor of some kind means that people don't trust you and therefore won't deal with you. It's risky enough to trust someone enough to ask them to participate in an illegal activity, imagine making this request of someone you knew to be untrustworthy, or traitorous. It just would not happen. Dark secrets like being an undercover lone star officer are good because, quite frankly, if you are found out your fixer will have you murdered slowly and horribly and then left in pieces out the front of your home precinct. This is a tame response compared to what any organised crime contacts will do to you and your family. I have used Dark Secrets of a terrorist past before, as combined with Government File type flaws. Nothing gets the acronyms (FBI, CIA, NSA, SS, OOO etc) gunning for you like being revealed as the guy who planted the fuel-air explosive that killed two thousand people in Singapore. Depends a bit on the background and character type. A social adept type is easy - anything that would remove their contacts will do it. Deckers could have a past as a "Judas IC" victim (is he cured? can we really take the chance?), riggers can have a past as someone who did horrible things whilst jacked in (killed an entire team that was working with him using drones, therefore how can we trust him to jack in near our team ever?). I find that comic Dark Secrets are funny for one game and lame for the rest of the campaign. |
