Moving Target Group: Members Posts: 459 Joined: 2-October 10 Member No.: 19,092	Brian "Burnt Bush" Davison, currently being hopped across a border by the Vory...will be looking for work soon. (PM feedback appreciated) There are some in the shadow community calls me a terrorist. The irony never fails to amaze me. I merely have the strength of will, the moral clarity, to open my eyes to the consequences of my actions. And still do the job. They think me a monster because, for a price, I'm willing to use the talents my life has given me to earn a living. Same as them, really. I plant a bomb, and these holier than thou runners pretend its despicable because it kills the innocent. They steal paydata or extract an exec, and never wonder why the market crashed half a continent away, or how some pissant shell corp suddenly had a massive surge in "medical research into the technomancer condition." But, so long as they didn't directly pull the trigger, they go on believing that THEY don't shatter lives and kill the innocent...and I'm a terrorist. I have no need to hide behind their false veneer of morality. Once you enter the shadows, your doing horrible things, and there's going to be people dead or broken who didn't deserve it in any way. At least I have the courage to meet that fact head on, and embrace the job. And the same Mr. Johnsons that hire them, hire me. Of course, I did not always have the clarity of view that I do now. Once upon a time, I was a college freshman, just trying to get in an elf chick's pants. Can't even remember her name. All about mother earth, saving the environment, fighting the man. And help me, I was young and naive and horny, and I believed her. To make a long story short, I went too far in a demonstration. Next thing you know, I'm a wanted man, SIN has been tagged criminal, the works. So a few friends of hers offer to hide me way down in South America. It'll be with some real righteous cause types, I'll do great things for Gaia, and its a hell of a lot better than staying here. That's where I started to learn popular war. Insurgency. Terrorism. What have you. I learned how to hide in the population. How to use no-tech solutions to high tech problems. How to rig 5 pounds of plastique into a a discrete bundle that would kill a collaborator and his family. How to convince the poor and the starving that life would be better if they'd lay down their lives for a new green nation. I learned, that really, people's war is fought by a few very smart people, a few very inspirational people, and a seething mass of people who just want a better life. The latter die for the former. All that didn't matter in the end. Kept fighting, nothing changed. Eventually the Azzies wiped them all out, mostly. I saw the signs coming, and got out early. I had some skills, some international inroads, and a belief that maybe someone else would truly fight the good fight I hooked up with a Techno-rights group. Best guys I ever worked with. I think they have a similarly high opinion of me. I'll still go out of my way to help them if it doesn't put me on the chopping block. Not because I think they'll win their fight, but because they're my only living comrades. I spent four years with them, spent three of them as a direct action team leader. That's where I learned the advantages of some high tech solutions. Blowing up an airliner takes more skill, resources, and planning than some random bombs in a podunk village. It's also where I learned the cold truth: any war needs money. Terrorism is no exception. We had our ways of getting it. I always found fake charities aimed at helping the forces hunting us to be particularly delicious. Especially as you can use them completely legally to buy yourself whole neighborhoods of poor supporters. I learned a lot of trcicks when it comes to money. But it was never enough. Which meant you always had to have a corp somewhere backing you. In turn, that meant maybe some of your acts aligned with some of that corps interests. Not a pretty picture for a fiery idealist, but when your fighting for the Cause, or just to stay alive, a lot of things become acceptable. Suffice to say, after a major event in a major city, everyone had to scatter across the globe. The group reconvened, but I never made it back. Still my best contacts though. I started hiring out to various groups to survive. The only thing that ever changed was the ideology. Pretty soon, I ceased to give a damn about ideology. There's a million factions out there in the world, and they all think they have the power to change it. There's probably less than a hundred that actually can, and their version of change involves the bottom line or plots so convoluted its not worth knowing. The inevitable conclusion, if you stay alive in this game long enough, is that all the killing, all the dying, is all for that small handful. And you start to see you've been doing this for them, one way or another, all along. And that without them, you wither on the vine and die. When you reach that conclusion, your perspective changes. You face, in simplest terms, a moral dilemma. You can try to rage back against these groups. But you'll be crushed. You can hang up your spurs. But you'll starve. Or you can go forward, with clear mind and open eyes, realizing you are about inflict suffering and death in the name of the bottom line. Once you accept that, your will crystallizes, and you can truly view your actions for what they are. Just another way to live at the expense of others. It takes a certain moral fortitude, a certainty of mind, to embrace that change. Most won't. Even my fellow shadowrunners hide from the fact, though their lives revolve around the very concept. But I changed. But the basics, the basics never change. And there are corps that pay well for the basics. They pay a lot better than the Cause ever did. They'll happily equip you with the latest and greatest too...it makes sense in a return on investment sort of way. The groups blur. Nerve gas attacks with Basque separatists. Sitting in some shithole wahabi training camp, getting mandatory weapons training that consist of little more than how to actually look down the sights. Instigating riots in japan, then making sure the cops shoot into the crowd. A dozen campaigns in a dozen countries. I can say "bomb", "machinegun", and 'rise up against your oppressors" in 5 different languages. I couldn't tell you what happened to the groups I helped or started along the way. Given the usual life expectancy, they're probably all dead or on a corporate payroll by now. The latest job did not go as smoothly as I might like. Actually, it involved the hasty ditching of pretty much everything I owned or associated with me, and a deal with the devil in the form of the Vory. They got me out, and made sure I got all the essentials to get back to work. Of course, they'll be wanting that favor repaid in monthly installments. Large monthly installments. So, it looks like my brand of moral clarity will be going up for hire here now. New ideology. New victims. New power-players. Same basics. Same results.

My life was great until a short time ago... sorry, I’m getting ahead of myself, so I guess I should start with what I look like? I’m of moderate height, sleight build with dark hair and striking eyes. They tell me I’m a changeling and that I have inherited only some of my mother’s orcish traits. The physical signs are slightly pointed ears and lower canines that any real orc would be ashamed of. Like my Mum I had a late genetic expression and look and feel human (whatever that means these days?). I’ve been told that I pass for a fairly pretty human and I’ve put that to use on occasion when looks have been able to swing things my way. I also don’t appear to age in the same way that an orc would so although I’m in my early twenties I haven’t yet seen the unfortunate decline that some orcs go through about now… in fact I’m not sure where the genetic markers fall and I’m certainly not worrying about it given everything else that’s going on in my life. And who or what am I? Well like everyone else I’m a product of my background and upbringing but in short I suppose I can say I’m a runner now, barely. They tell me I’m an Artisan Adept, I would say that I see tech in a different way to other people, intuitively and as an integral part of magic rather than something that mundanes have created to replace magic. Hopefully I can use that to keep myself alive long enough to find the truth... I’m a third gen runner and have been around runners from birth, although Mum tried to ensure I had as normal a life as possible and wasn’t too influenced by the shadows early on. Despite what the trids might have you believe I think that I probably turned out more balanced than most of the other street drek that populate the shadows. When I was born my Dad was a runner, like Granddad (who probably died in some corp zero zone!), and Mum was working as a surveillance operative for the Feds. I don’t know much of the background of how they met, and it’s too late to ask now, but whilst they supposedly loved each other, it was a Romeo and Juliet relationship doomed by the divide between the shadows and the light. I’ve still got a holo of my Dad, he was a handsome orc from Europe and now I don’t even know if he’s alive or dead, probably dead… I don’t remember him really, just fragments I’ve got from pictures. He left when I was five or so, mum said he wanted to protect us from his life... The irony is that mum became a runner herself when I was ten after some disagreement with the Bureau that meant she felt she could no longer work for them. She wouldn’t talk about it with me but I overheard things (being a quiet child that nobody notices had its advantages) and I gather that it was something pretty horrendous...probably something that the FBI as the ’good guys’ shouldn’t have been involved in. I was yanked out of school, we ditched our SINs and disappeared. I guess mum had been prepared for this as we had fake documents and some liberated kit to hand. Rather than settling into a new dull life elsewhere mum began to work the edges of the shadows to make ends meet and to dig the dirt on whatever it was that sent us into hiding in the first place. For me I was young enough that this was a big adventure...although I missed my friends I was able to sneak contact with them through the matrix. I was tech savvy enough already to hide my back trail (I was more worried about mum finding out than the possible repercussions from darker sources) and so thankfully nothing came of my childish indiscretion. It was also about this time that I began to see the beauty of the code itself and my love affair with the matrix was born and has never left me. My education became what mum could get from pirated edusofts but more and more what I discovered for myself. Running and hiding coupled with the glory of the net have shaped me and shaped my magic in fundamental ways, whether it would have developed this way if we’d stayed safe in Seattle is anyone’s guess! My awakening came with my expression and puberty and as everything was so confused I’ve never really distinguished between any of them. I began to remember everything I saw and have an intuitive grasp of how things fitted together. I saw the intricate patterns in the matrix and how these reflected and enhanced what I saw in life. I loved the feel of electronics in my hands, and as I was continually surrounded by the various technological debris that were Mum’s trade I had plenty of opportunity to tinker. Anyway, back to my story: Mum took, or was given, the handle ‘Mother’ (although not because she was one), and teamed up with a number of people over the next few years. Never anyone for long, she was too principled to work with the majority of the dross that call themselves runners, and she was incapable of hiding her disgust which hardly made for good team mates. She worked as a rigger and in surveillance, counter surveillance. We bounced around for three to four years, living in an RV to avoid having a permanent and traceable address. We relied on the fake documents and smuggler routes to cross borders, although we stayed in the UCAS for the most part. I remember that mum worked in Boston and some of the other East Coast cities but eventually we drifted back west and found ourselves in Seattle once more. Mum wanted me back in school in preparation for the future and she said that her issues with the Feds had blown over and were no longer relevant (I still don’t know if she managed to dig up sufficient leverage or if the people involved simply disappeared). With some judicious editing of the data trail I went back to being Susanna Waters and was enrolled in school after an extended period abroad. It was a bit of a jolt to be immersed in normality after so long away but mum convinced me that the social skills were as necessary as the technical ones and that I needed a taste of high school (gods help us all!). I was different and I knew it, and they bloody well made sure I knew it, but it was a proving ground and looking back I was glad of the experience even if it was shitty at the time. Another effect was to isolate me from mum’s continuing shadow work...and this was probably the real intention as I know that she didn’t want me to follow in her foot steps. Mum met Bale on a trip to the UK (I travelled on a separate commercial flight) and she had finally found a runner that lived up to her expectations. As a former special forces soldier and combat mage he exhibited a truly British display of honour, respect and good manners. A lot was put on for other people’s benefit, and he had a wicked sense of dry humour, but they clicked. They spend two years putting together a team that suited them and Balefire was born. I gather that they were able to pick and choose their runs, because of both their professionalism and skill set. I would have given anything at the time to be more involved but mum was having none of it...she already felt that I knew too much about what they did. Escapade fulfilled the role that I used to fantasise about doing, covert op and B&E man, and Aria covered the matrix aspects of their work. Although mum disapproved I became friends with Aria and we frequently met up in the matrix... Funny to think that we’ve never met in the flesh despite her being the closest thing to a sister I could hope for. That’s a statement on the world if there ever was one! My innate aptitude for tech meant that when the time came Mum insisted that I get a proper college education and as I had a valid SIN once more it was easy enough to win a place at Seattle U to study applied matrix technologies and electrical engineering. There was just the small matter of paying for it all! Balefire may have been a team capable of pulling in the high end jobs but they were choosy enough that they weren’t exactly rolling in nuyen. At mum’s behest Aria approached NeoNet indirectly and I guess she shunted my name up the lists that the head hunters browse through (but avoiding any false modesty I expect it was probably in there somewhere anyway, my grades were good and I have a knack that my fellow students can’t touch). Their PULSE subsidiary eventually agreed to sponsor my course and although there were some reservations about taking a corps’ money so blatantly we figured in the end that it could serve our purposes in a ‘hide in plain sight’ kind of way (Although mum was always excruciatingly careful that nothing could link her shadowrunning back to me or our family unit paranoia was inevitably a way of life to a certain degree). I can honestly say that I excelled at my studies and I’m not ashamed to say that I intend to use what I’ve been taught to further my goals in the shadows. I pushed myself harder than my contemporaries because I love it. I soaked up all the knowledge they could give me and asked for more. I’m not saying it was easy, far from it, whilst I remember everything I still need to be able to process all that information... I asked Aria to help me get some ‘ware (I knew mum would be unlikely to agree), something that wouldn’t damage my magic too much. She cautioned me that it might be considered an unfair advantage over my peers (my magic already set me apart) but I didn’t care. In the end I won her round and she took me off grid where the ‘ware wouldn’t need to be recorded. We went to this weird Stillwater place on the far side of Redmond and they hooked me up. A month in a bed and suddenly I was smarter than before and needed less sleep...and I could finally see the ‘trix without the bloody trodes. Purists would probably say I could have achieved this with my natural magical talents but then I’ve never been afraid of tech and I felt better and stronger and even more in tune with my gift. Aria handled the payment side of things, although they were more interested in my coding than cash and I’ve been working to pay off the debt (since what happened that debt has changed somewhat...) …And then it all went bad when things seemed so perfect. August 2070… I don’t yet know the full story behind what happened, although I’m determined to find out, but someone targeted Balefire for something they had done or for some other reason lost in the shadows…and mum was killed…I found her in a pool of her own cold blood…I’m sorry, it’s still painful to think about… …And so here I am. The last few months have been rough, I’d slowly slipped into a despondent state and began getting more and more behind on my college work. Concerned emails began coming in from my sponsors and I wasn’t able to tell them anything...how could I tell them my mother was a runner and she was gunned down in her own home whilst browsing the matrix? In the end we found another shooting and attached my mum’s details to it...something more prosaic to hide what really happened...I hate it but there’s no choice... They offered me counselling but I’ve been afraid to go. I’m hanging on by my fingernails and some corp shrink judging whether I am profitable or not is likely to send me over the edge! I needed to get back on track, but whenever I thought about doing anything about it things seemed to get on top of me. Aria has pulled me along and stopped me from sinking too low but I knew this was something I needed to deal with myself. The pain is less now and has being replaced with a burning desire to find out exactly what happened to my mum, to Balefire and most importantly why! For the last six months I’ve been snooping around trying to find leads. So far to no avail, whoever it was has covered their tracks too well but I know that they were the same ones who hit Stillwater and that the events can’t be unconnected. I’ve been hooking up with mum’s old contacts and anyone who can teach me the skills I’ll need to survive out here. I’ve even done a couple of solo jobs to bolster my confidence and help pay for the information I’ll need. I will find them, whoever they are... Contacts: Aria is my sanity, which is ironic as she appears on the matrix as a glowing ten year old girl with a mischievous streak as wide as the Aztechnology pyramid! On the face of it she pretends to avoid responsibility but she looks after her friends and I’m very glad to be one of them. She was Balefire’s hacker and only just escaped the destruction that was rained down on us. She has withdrawn herself from the active shadows but keeps her ear to the ground and delights in dredging up obscure information and secrets. She acts as my agent in dealings with fixers and keeps an eye out over me. We’ve never actually met in the flesh but I only occasionally regret that – she is a creature of the matrix and that is her domain. He-Who-Sees-Within is a snake shaman, part time runner and secrets gatherer and most importantly a gifted healer. Sadly the last one is reason I see most of him now. He helped me out when I came back to the shadows and his skills have kept me out of the fire several times.

I have long served him to the best of my abilities in many guises through the ages. Although I currently work outside of the auspices of Transys they have proved to be a valuable tool in the research into magic and the matrix and I long for the time when they are able to allow me to view the matrix from my natural form. Desire (Quantum Mage, Stillwater Community) [Loyalty 3, Connection 3] The Stillwater community is one of the hidden projects in the New World that my master has an interest in and Desire is my contact with them. They are transhumanists dedicated to the merging of magic with technology and represent a potential path for surviving the coming depredations from the Enemy. They have an extensive matrix presence as well as access to cutting edge cybertechnology and some interesting magical techniques and theorems. They were nearly decimated in the height of the anti-technomancer movements of the 70s but with our aid they have managed to cling on and begin to rebuild. Aria (Infoseeker, Matrix Coder) [Loyalty 4, Connection 4] She is a creature of the matrix and the source of much of my net knowledge. I met her through the Stillwater community where she is one of a triumvirate with Athena and Operator. Formally the hacker for Balefire she has experience as a shadowrunner but has since stretched her web on a much wider scale and is a source of information on the most disparate of topics. Enemy (BPs -5) Reynshec (Western Drake of Lofwyr) [Connection 4, Incidence 1] My nemesis and bane. Reyn was responsible for the death of my lover during the time of the dark ages as a ploy to lure me to him so that I could not complete the plans of my sire. Since then we have crossed paths many times, usually indirectly, as we battle to upset each other’s goals. Each time the conflict escalates and there can be no forgiveness now, only Vendetta. Factions (BPs 10) Queen Alachia, High Prince Lugh Surehand, Ehran the Scribe, Prince Sean Lafferty, Prince Jenna Ni'Fairra 0 (dislike) My attitudes towards the rise of technology has hardly endeared me to the elven immortals. I have ever served the cause of the dragons above all else and their machinations has occasionally led to conflict with the plans of these other elders. I find them to be arrogant, which is to be expected, and full of their own self importance. I am not one to demand that they accept the Dragons as their superiors, although I know there are those of my kind who do, but I despair at their short sightedness and desires to cling to the past. Harlequinn 3 (neutral-mild like) Caimbuel is the exception to the rule, as ever, and his anarchic nature and general disregard for the rules of the game have meant we have found common ground on occasion. Although I don’t really recall the time now I know that I served under him as a Lightbearer during the fourth age and I look forward to working with him occasionally on whatever obscure plan that he is following at the time. Dunkelzahn 4 (mild like) Mountainshadow was ever the most progressive of the Elders and I have great respect for his vision, as does my master. We were greatly moved when we learnt of his monumental sacrifice to hold the Enemy back. Hestaby 3 (neutral-mild like) I believe my master has a fondness for the Orange Queen and I have visited her lair on a number of occasions and been impressed by her gravitas. Character Sketch: Drake Character Sketch: Human Form Background Story [ Spoiler ] Although names are less important in these times, let us just say that you may call my Ryl for now, or eTher as you are talking to my matrix persona. Despite my appearance I was born many many years ago but thanks to the miracles of science I have aged extremely well. I am of average height, slim build with silvery grey eyes and dark hair. My matrix icon as you can see is a celestial dracoform made up of swirling galaxies and nebulae. Yes, thank you, the resolution is impressive, but no I am not one of those technomancers, I merely have access to some bleeding edge technology. The rest of what I am going to tell you you will forget, don’t worry, the laes will take effect shortly but I assure you it won’t hurt in the slightest. I feel the need to unburden myself to someone without the risk of my past haunting me, or indeed you... I can’t find it in myself to talk to the other immortals about this, yes I did say immortals, if you keep interrupting we’ll never get through this in the time we have...they know too much of our shared history and my pain. I am a drake, sired, or created if you will, by the mighty Celedyr around ten millennia ago, before the great fall of civilisation into the horrors of the incursion. In my natural form I am a beauty of strength and power, with black scales flecked with silver, much like the constellations in my icon that you so admired. From the Isle of Lyonesse I was sent to be my master’s eyes and ears in the realm of Barsaive, somewhere near Eastern Europe in this age. I was adopted into the house of a merchant Prince near the Kingdom of Throal and watched and waited as the Therans rose to power. There is much history here, far too much to tell you now. Suffice it to say that when the population retreated into the kaers I returned to my master to sleep away the fall in his presence. As the mana levels dipped and it was safe, or safer at least, to return to the world I was sent back to Barsaive to see what had become of that cradle of humanity. They had more or less survived, although at great cost, particularly amongst the elves who did some terrible things to themselves in order to escape attention of Them. It was during this time that I joined a group, no, their name doesn’t matter, names have power, and we strove to further the goals of the immortals that we each represented. As the mana finally began to fade from the world we prepared ourselves with a ritual that would allow us to live out the coming cycle in human form. Although ancient, our histories begin to coincide with the information fifth and sixth age scholars have been able to piece together and so may be more familiar to you. It is in our nature to meddle in the lives of others and we each took positions in the society that we found ourselves in. We changed as our natures dictated and the needs of the time, all in the name of staying hidden from the masses and preparing the world to survive without the magic that had been such an integral part of our lives. From a troubadour and light bearer in the fourth age, I have been a dancer, a warrior, philanthropist and spy, many many things across the span of time, far too many to recount now. In each incarnation of myself I have foolishly fallen for a mortal like yourself...I have had many lovers, both male and female, and each time I feel the pain of their passing. The other immortals see me as foolish for my attachment to your kind but if we do not work for your benefit what is the use of our great power? There is little point in being Queen if all your subjects have died and I see myself in a far more intimate relationship with mortals than that analogy represents. That attitude has also won me the attentions of my nemesis, no names, a drake of Lofwyr’s who I have sparred with through the ages. We have battled on many fronts and the rivalry may have stopped there but has become something more when he killed Garyn just to pain me...now it is Vendetta! But enough of that, I don’t want to talk about those parts of my past with you. I recognise the signs in myself already and perhaps you will be the one who I spend the next part of this great age with. You are young yet but your beauty and innocence has captured my heart...Enough, on with my tale... Throughout the cycles technology has been on the rise, evening the gap between those of us with magic and your mortal brethren. Although it will never be a substitute there are those of us who feel that through it we have a hope of surviving the terrors that await us. I have long been fascinated by the potential of technology, and particularly the applications for merging the two to make a greater whole.

My life was great until a short time ago... sorry, I’m getting ahead of myself, so I guess I should start with what I look like? I’m of moderate height, sleight build with dark hair and striking eyes. They tell me I’m a changeling and that I have inherited only some of my mother’s orcish traits. The physical signs are slightly pointed ears and lower canines that any real orc would be ashamed of. Like my Mum I had a late genetic expression and look and feel human (whatever that means these days?). I’ve been told that I pass for a fairly pretty human and I’ve put that to use on occasion when looks have been able to swing things my way. I also don’t appear to age in the same way that an orc would so although I’m in my early twenties I haven’t yet seen the unfortunate decline that some orcs go through about now… in fact I’m not sure where the genetic markers fall and I’m certainly not worrying about it given everything else that’s going on in my life. And who or what am I? Well like everyone else I’m a product of my background and upbringing but in short I suppose I can say I’m a runner now, barely. They tell me I’m an Artisan Adept, I would say that I see tech in a different way to other people, intuitively and as an integral part of magic rather than something that mundanes have created to replace magic. Hopefully I can use that to keep myself alive long enough to find the truth... I’m a third gen runner and have been around runners from birth, although Mum tried to ensure I had as normal a life as possible and wasn’t too influenced by the shadows early on. Despite what the trids might have you believe I think that I probably turned out more balanced than most of the other street drek that populate the shadows. When I was born my Dad was a runner, like Granddad (who probably died in some corp zero zone!), and Mum was working as a surveillance operative for the Feds. I don’t know much of the background of how they met, and it’s too late to ask now, but whilst they supposedly loved each other, it was a Romeo and Juliet relationship doomed by the divide between the shadows and the light. I’ve still got a holo of my Dad, he was a handsome orc from Europe and now I don’t even know if he’s alive or dead, probably dead… I don’t remember him really, just fragments I’ve got from pictures. He left when I was five or so, mum said he wanted to protect us from his life... The irony is that mum became a runner herself when I was ten after some disagreement with the Bureau that meant she felt she could no longer work for them. She wouldn’t talk about it with me but I overheard things (being a quiet child that nobody notices had its advantages) and I gather that it was something pretty horrendous...probably something that the FBI as the ’good guys’ shouldn’t have been involved in. I was yanked out of school, we ditched our SINs and disappeared. I guess mum had been prepared for this as we had fake documents and some liberated kit to hand. Rather than settling into a new dull life elsewhere mum began to work the edges of the shadows to make ends meet and to dig the dirt on whatever it was that sent us into hiding in the first place. For me I was young enough that this was a big adventure...although I missed my friends I was able to sneak contact with them through the matrix. I was tech savvy enough already to hide my back trail (I was more worried about mum finding out than the possible repercussions from darker sources) and so thankfully nothing came of my childish indiscretion. It was also about this time that I began to see the beauty of the code itself and my love affair with the matrix was born and has never left me. My education became what mum could get from pirated edusofts but more and more what I discovered for myself. Running and hiding coupled with the glory of the net have shaped me and shaped my magic in fundamental ways, whether it would have developed this way if we’d stayed safe in Seattle is anyone’s guess! My awakening came with my expression and puberty and as everything was so confused I’ve never really distinguished between any of them. I began to remember everything I saw and have an intuitive grasp of how things fitted together. I saw the intricate patterns in the matrix and how these reflected and enhanced what I saw in life. I loved the feel of electronics in my hands, and as I was continually surrounded by the various bits of technological debris that were Mum’s trade I had plenty of opportunity to tinker. Anyway, back to my story: Mum took, or was given, the handle ‘Mother’ (although not because she was one), and teamed up with a number of people over the next few years. Never anyone for long, she was too principled to work with the majority of the dross that call themselves runners, and she was incapable of hiding her disgust which hardly made for good team mates. She worked as a rigger and in surveillance, counter surveillance. We bounced around for three to four years, living in an RV to avoid having a permanent and traceable address. We relied on the fake documents and smuggler routes to cross borders, although we stayed in the UCAS for the most part. I remember that mum worked in Boston and some of the other East Coast cities but eventually we drifted back west and found ourselves in Seattle once more. Mum wanted me back in school in preparation for the future and she said that her issues with the Feds had blown over and were no longer relevant (I still don’t know if she managed to dig up sufficient leverage or if the people involved simply disappeared). With some judicious editing of the data trail I went back to being Susanna Waters and was enrolled in school after an extended period abroad. It was a bit of a jolt to be immersed in normality after so long away but mum convinced me that the social skills were as necessary as the technical ones and that I needed a taste of high school (gods help us all!). I was different and I knew it, and they bloody well made sure I knew it, but it was a proving ground and looking back I was glad of the experience even if it was shitty at the time. Another effect was to isolate me from mum’s continuing shadow work...and this was probably the real intention as I know that she didn’t want me to follow in her footsteps. Mum met Bale on a trip to the UK (I travelled on a separate commercial flight) and she had finally found a runner that lived up to her expectations. As a former special forces soldier and combat mage he exhibited a truly British display of honour, respect and good manners. A lot was put on for other people’s benefit, and he had a wicked sense of dry humour, but they clicked. They spend two years putting together a team that suited them and Balefire was born. I gather that they were able to pick and choose their runs, because of both their professionalism and skill set. I would have given anything at the time to be more involved but mum was having none of it...she already felt that I knew too much about what they did. Escapade fulfilled the role that I used to fantasise about doing, covert op and B&E man, and Aria covered the matrix aspects of their work. Although mum disapproved I became friends with Aria and we frequently met up in the matrix... Funny to think that we’ve never met in the flesh despite her being the closest thing to a sister I could hope for. That’s a statement on the world if there ever was one! My innate aptitude for tech meant that when the time came Mum insisted that I get a proper college education and as I had a valid SIN once more it was an opportunity to push myself and get an interview at Harvard to study applied matrix technologies and electrical engineering. There was just the small matter of paying for it all! Balefire may have been a team capable of pulling in the high end jobs but they were choosy enough that they weren’t exactly rolling in nuyen. At mum’s behest Aria approached NeoNet indirectly and I guess she shunted my name up the lists that the head hunters browse through (but avoiding any false modesty I expect it was probably in there somewhere anyway, my grades were good and I have a knack that my fellow students can’t touch). Their PULSE subsidiary eventually agreed to sponsor my course and although there were some reservations about taking a corps’ money so blatantly we figured in the end that it could serve our purposes in a ‘hide in plain sight’ kind of way (Although mum was always excruciatingly careful that nothing could link her shadowrunning back to me or our family unit paranoia was inevitably a way of life to a certain degree). I can honestly say that I excelled at my studies and I’m not ashamed to say that I intend to use what I’ve been taught to further my goals in the shadows. It was hard being away from mum and missing out on the goings on in Seattle but this was another way of keeping me safe and giving me an opportunity to forge my own path without being influenced by the shadows. I pushed myself harder than my contemporaries because I love it. I soaked up all the knowledge they could give me and asked for more. I’m not saying it was easy, far from it, whilst I remember everything I still need to be able to process all that information... I asked Aria to help me get some ‘ware (I knew mum would be unlikely to agree), something that wouldn’t damage my magic too much. She cautioned me that it might be considered an unfair advantage over my peers (my magic already set me apart) but I didn’t care. In the end I won her round and she brought me back to Seattle to an off grid supplier where the ‘ware wouldn’t need to be recorded. We went to this weird Stillwater place on the far side of Redmond and they hooked me up. A month in a bed and suddenly I was smarter than before and needed less sleep...and I could finally see the ‘trix without the bloody trodes. Purists would probably say I could have achieved this with my natural magical talents but then I’ve never been afraid of tech and I felt better and stronger and even more in tune with my gift. Aria handled the payment side of things, although they were more interested in my coding than cash and I’ve been working to pay off the debt (since what happened that debt has changed somewhat...) And so I was back at uni, living the student life of parties contrasted with excessively hard study... …And then it all went bad when things seemed so perfect. August 2070… I don’t yet know the full story behind what happened, although I’m determined to find out, but someone targeted Balefire for something they had done or for some other reason lost in the shadows…and mum was killed…I found her in a pool of her own cold blood…I’m sorry, it’s still painful to think about… …So here I am. The last few months have been rough, I’d slowly slipped into a despondent state and began getting more and more behind on my college work. Concerned emails began coming in from my sponsors and I wasn’t able to tell them anything...how could I tell them my mother was a runner and she was gunned down in her own home whilst browsing the matrix? In the end we found another shooting and attached my mum’s details to it...something more prosaic to hide what really happened...I hate it but there’s no choice... They offered me counselling but I’ve been afraid to go. I’m hanging on by my fingernails and some corp shrink judging whether I am profitable or not is likely to send me over the edge! I needed to get back on track, but whenever I thought about doing anything about it things seemed to get on top of me. Aria has pulled me along and stopped me from sinking too low but I knew this was something I needed to deal with myself. The pain is less now and has being replaced with a burning desire to find out exactly what happened to my mum, to Balefire and most importantly why! For the last six months I’ve been snooping around trying to find leads. So far to no avail, whoever it was has covered their tracks too well but I know that they were the same ones who hit Stillwater and that the events can’t be unconnected. I came back to Seattle at the beginning of the year and have been back and forth since. I’ve been hooking up with mum’s old contacts and anyone who can teach me the skills I’ll need to survive out here. I got a job in a coffee shop for the summer to give me a reason to stay over in Seattle and meanwhile I’ve even done a couple of solo shadow jobs to bolster my confidence and help pay for the information I’ll need. I will find them, whoever they are... Contacts Indicates one of Mother’s past associates [Metatype & Archetype – likely meeting location] Aria [Information Broker/Hacker – matrix meets only] [L:5 C:5] Aria is my sanity, which is ironic as she appears on the matrix as a glowing ten year old girl with a mischievous streak as wide as the Aztechnology pyramid! On the face of it she pretends to avoid responsibility but she looks after her friends and I’m very glad to be one of them. She was Balefire’s hacker and only just escaped the destruction that was rained down on us. She has withdrawn herself from the active shadows but keeps her ear to the ground and delights in dredging up obscure information and secrets. She acts as my agent in dealings with fixers and keeps an eye out over me. We’ve never actually met in the flesh but I only occasionally regret that – she is a creature of the matrix and that is her domain. GM Info · A source of info or a go-between. Always interested in new bits of data. She has bailed out Silk in the past, running interference if she was in unforeseen trouble, similar to ‘Erased’ · She is an elven technomancer of considerable power · Never meets in the flesh · She has set herself up as a spider in a web of contacts to gather and process info · Appearance: her icon is of a young child with very long flowing hair (refer to my character artwork) Summer [Human technomancer – matrix meets only] [L:1 C:2] I’ve been introduced to Summer a few times, Aria brought her along to one of our gaming sessions where she exhibited ways of tricking the code that I would expect of Aria. Although I’ve never met her in the flesh I know she’s just a kid – you can tell by the way she talks – but she has a heavy burden: I get the impression that she somehow has glimpses of the future, something about information being out there on the ‘trix and seeing the patterns, although in a different way to how I do it. I won’t be bugging her directly but there’s a chance that she may see something as she is tied up in all this in some way too. GM Info · A plot hook rather than a source of info (first introduced in the 2072 thread), she sees possible futures through the matrix/resonance · She is an Info Savant technomancer · Appearance: a young girl in slightly odd ball clothes. Her icon follows an ‘Alice’ theme (refer to my character artwork) Samuel [Human dance instructor, gossip – Boston night club] [L:2 C:3] I’ve always enjoyed pushing myself physically as well as mentally and Sam’s classes are legendary! More to the point now though is that he knows what is going on in the media spotlight, almost before the media corps can splash it across the ‘trix. GM Info · A socialite and small time glitterati he is a source of info on the media world · Appearance: large black guy always dressed in the height of fashion Dr Featherstone [Human transhumanist doctor – Stillwater, Redmond] [L:1 C:3] Doctor Featherstone is the one who implanted my ‘ware back in ’68. She’s a skilled biotechnologist and thankfully she survived the devastating attack on the community in ’70. Although much of their biolab was destroyed they are still able to provide access to some implants sourced from who knows where. GM Info · Source of corporate info in the biotech/cyber fields and computer science. Also able to source and implant ‘ware. · Appearance: tired lady in her mid-forties, old but impeccably clean lab coat Wolf Pack [Initiatory Group – Stillwater, Redmond] [L:1 C: 3 G: 6] The Wolf Pack is desperately trying to rebuild its strength and the thirteen of them welcomed me and have given me a chance to access the mysteries of initiation. I haven’t joined them as my quest prevents me from taking the oath that they require but are goals are sufficiently aligned that they did not mind sharing some of their secrets. GM Info · Group +1, Influence +1, Magic +4, Matrix 0 · Allows group initiation, although no ordeals until the Oath is taken to protect Stillwater, to come when summoned and to further the group’s agenda Requiem [Elven Samurai – Redmond dojo] [L:4 C:2] Requiem, my sensei, and for a while lover. Despite the gap in our ages we got along very well until Aria sensibly ‘stepped’ in and put us both straight. I learnt a lot from him and the military skills he has given me will serve me well when I find out who was behind Deep Watch’s contract. He’s a former Ares man and I get the impression he really didn’t like what he saw...I don’t think he was in Chicago but he has an irrational fear of insects! GM Info · Trainer and limited links to merc groups · Former Firewatch officer and then trainer, his experiences have left him psychologically scarred · He really hates bugs! · Appearance: he still looks youthful despite his age. Tall and well-muscled for an elf He-Who-Sees-Within [Human shaman – edge of Redmond] [L:4 C:1] He-Who-Sees is a snake shaman, part time runner and secrets gatherer and most importantly a gifted healer. Sadly the last one is reason I see most of him now. He helped me out when I first stepped in to the shadows and his skills have kept me out of the fire several times. GM Info · A healer and someone to talk things through with. Very occasionally back up on a run. Street level information · Appearance: Tatty but clean street gear, greying goatee and tied back long hair The Brotherhood * [Fixer group – usually online] [L:1 C:4 G:7] Balefire worked almost exclusively for Monarch and the Brotherhood towards the end. The group formed to pool their resources and get a bigger share of the shadows and although I haven’t contacted them directly yet they will be a good source of intel on what is moving in the shadows and possibly give me leads on what happened – for an exorbitant fee no doubt! GM Info · Group +1, Influence +4, Magic 0, Matrix +2 · Sources of information and possible runs Cannon * [Human merc / tech dealer – back of his travelling tech haven] [L:1 C:3] Uncle Canon was a teammate of mum’s when I was a kid and it was him that persuaded mum I should be able to shoot! We lost touch after mum started Balefire and I gather he stopped running and took over Bishop’s travelling tech emporium. He runs around in a semi with enough tech for sale in the back to land him in all sorts of strife if the wrong people caught up with him. He is justifiably paranoid about meeting and it is always on his terms but he was the one who fixed me up with most of my gear when I got back to Seattle. GM Info · Source of technology and weapons, usually less than legal · Appearance: aged veteran fighter with military buzz cut and clipped way of speaking This post has been edited by Aria: Dec 15 2011, 01:45 PM

While messy, it had everything that Umbra needed: a stash of food, a place to keep a few spare clothers (needed when meeting posh folks), and a nice safe place to hide Umbra's small set of treasures. Rat wasn't the easiest totem to follow. Sometimes Rat put Umbra in danger. It was safer outside Chicago, but Rat said there were things here that had to be done. It wasn't easy to get inside the wall, but Rat knew a way. There were others dangers too: there were other people living near here, and there were predators that preyed on them. Rat didn't like that, and Umbra had to do things about it. Sometimes Rat was greedy and Umbra had to go and get some treasure. Still Rat was helpful, and had taught Umbra lots of tricks. Rat has told Umbra that he needs to grow. Umbra is a person and the people above are people. Umbra needs to learn to be with people. So Umbra is now spending more time upstairs, and is learning about people. Rat sometimes tell Umbra to look after certain people. Sometimes Rat tells Umbra to rescue certain people: it's very dangerous in Chicago. Some of the people above don't like Umbra. It wasn't his fault that he was very big and little bit slow. They used to pick on him, and Umbra would run away. Once they didn't let him run away and he had to hurt them. Umbra hurt one of them so bad that he never walked again. Rat taught him "always run from a fight, but if you cannot then finish it". Umbra doesn't like to fight but sometimes you need to. The people above don't mess with Umbra anymore. Some of the people above don't like anyone. Once Rat told Umbra to stop some raiders. That didn't go too well: the raiders had radar and grenades, and Rat's tricks were not enough to save him. The doctor saved most of Umbra, but couldn't save his arm. Rat really isn't an easy totem to follow. One day Umbra will be able to leave Chicago and get a new one. Umbra likes the Mayor. The Mayor gave Umbra a shinny badge called a medal, and paid for a new arm. Rat says that the new arm is spoiling his magic, but it's better than not having an arm. The Mayor said Umbra had to get washed before he could get his shinny badge. Lots of people watched Umbra get his shinny badge. More people are nice to Umbra now. Rat was right, but not having a proper arm hurts sometimes. Umbra likes Chicago. There are nice people here. There are no wage zombies in Chicago. Umbra doesn't like Wage Zombies. Rat says that Umbra has to grow up more. Umbra needs to find some friends to help protect the Mayor's people.

Fortunately, Tenzin had just landed in Seattle, and wandered lost for the docks, when he heard the noise of the scuffle between Miklos and Humanis. Approached, and asked them to leave him in peace. The Humanis, seeing the Tenzin elven condition, thought they would have a double catch that evening. Three minutes later, two of them lying on the ground with several broken limbs, while the rest fled in haste. Miklos, grateful, showed Tenzin the most important spots in the city and how to get around it.

It is a little higher than normal between the elf population, reaching almost two meters. However, it is not too big, but has a slim athletic nature. His eyes are coal black, like his hair, which is usually short, almost shaved. His face is sharp, like its sleek nose. Small mouth and thin lips, his most distinctive facial features are its pointed ears, which clearly show metahuman nature. The eyes are deeply torn, ranging widely over the sunken cheeks. The earliest memories of her childhood kept by Tenzin belong to the Buddhist monastery located in the small town of Jiuzhu, situated between Lake Manasarovar and Rakshastal, in southwestern Tibet near the Indian border. He spent his early life, running and playing within the walls at the foot of the Himalayas. Buddhist monks of the monastery were in charge of their education and seeing some incredible physical skills (High Agility, Lightning Reflexes) in the young Tenzin, also addressed his introduction to physical training. Tzen-Hui Yan was appointed mentor of the young, and under his tutelage, he began to show amazing progress in such a young age. When Tenzin reached the age of twelve, Tzen-Hui revealed something that has marked his life since then: he had been found, at the gates of the monastery, a pleasant June morning, a group of monks who went to fish to the nearby lakes, despite making many inquiries in Jiuzhu itself and in nearby towns, it never turned out the origin of the baby, or who his parents ("Lost loved one" negative quality). Seeing the tremendous progress that his disciple was getting every day, both in the spiritual realm as in the physical realm, Tzen-Hui decided to send the Buddhist Monastery of Mount Kailash, the sacred mountain of the Buddhist tradition. The monastery is one of the most important of all the Tibetan Buddhist tradition and is home to Nyimabumo, the "Daughter of the Sun", the State Oracle of Tibet. There are met the most outstanding sons of the Tibetan nation, to be trained in the sciences, arts and wrestling, and be placed at the service of the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan people. There the holy brothers would judge their capabilities, and decide the role it could play Tenzin to serve as best as possible to tradition. The Mount Kailash Buddhist brothers surprised by Tenzin skills, decided to continue their education and training under his own tutelage. The boy got up early to work at nearby mines, where all manner of ore mined and materials suitable for the manufacture of chemicals, which are abundant in the foothills of the Himalayas. Then spent much of the day to exercise physically and dominating Kung-Fu technics, both unarmed and with edged weapons (Unarmed Combat Skill, Martial Arts Positive Quality, Blades Skill). The remaining hours were devoted to the Buddhist tantras, meditation and the study of chemical processes in the monastery used to produce multiple components with the materials extracted from the bowels of the mountain (Chemistry Skill). Soon, Tenzin took his place as one of the most advanced disciples in the monastery since the age of 18, took his vows as a Buddhist monk. When the Oracle predicted that the next incarnation of the Dalai Lama would be found outside the Tibetan border, a committee of wise men in the monastery was responsible for selecting the most qualified among the young monks to be sent to the capital Lhasa, and pass part of the Lotus Throne sect, whose challenge would be to look to the next Lama across the globe. In Lhasa, and under the direct orders of Jangbu Tak-Shin, the Tibetan Prime Minister in the absence of the Dalai Lama, met the best disciples of the Tibetan tradition. In 2064, they were sent outside Tibet through the Maya Cloud, under the protection of one of the Five Seals, to fulfill the mission entrusted to them. Tenzin's fate, along with other monks of the sect, was Hong Kong. There they settled in a Buddhist monastery in the center of the city as mere initiates, to go unnoticed and begin research on the identity of the 16th Dalai Lama. During 6 years, Tenzin and his Lotus Throne Sect fellows, toured the metroplex in search of some sign, some clue, but no luck. These multiple movements, despite the caution and the expertise of Tenzin and other monks, raised the interest of some local mafia groups, integrated into the structure of the Triads (Negative Quality, Enemy). These groups managed to find the origin of Tibetan monks, and one night attacked the monastery, hoping to find there one of the Five Seals, opened their way through the Maya Cloud into Tibet. It was a massacre. Of the 33 members of the monastery, 28 died that night at the hands of the Triad, only five managed to escape with his life: Tenzin and his Lotus Throne fellows, thanks to their incredible fighting abilities. Unable to prove his true identity in the rest of the metroplex Buddhist monasteries, were stranded in Hong Kong, and harassed by the mafia who had assaulted the monastery, and they knew they had escaped alive. To survive, they decided to part ways and take a trip to different parts of the world, seeking to fulfill the mission entrusted to find the new Lama. Tenzin sought refuge among the Tolo Vory, an underworld group with Russian origin, operating prostitution basically in Hong Kong. There he would be away from the Triad. He put his skills to serve the organization, which emerged rapidly as an outstanding wrestler and became a teacher of small arms fire (Pistol Skill), which had hitherto been strangers. Within the Tolo Vory, Tenzin began to hear talk of a metroplex located on the west coast of North America, call Seattle, full of life, of people from all over the planet ... Desiring to leave Hong Kong, where the search Lama had not produced positive results, and seeing in that city a good opportunity, decided to seek a loan to the local Tolo Vory leaders, to put Seattle ahead to begin a new stage of life there. With that money, he purchased passage to Seattle aboard a Wuxing Worldwide Shipping boat, and got ready to cross the Pacific. To be continued...

Slightly larger than normal, he wears baggy clothes which not only hide his bulk but also his concealed weapons. While his piercing eyes can be off-putting to some, they also show his experience. Background: Russell grew up in an accepting home, with parents and an older sister (Anna) who were fine with his 'specialness'. Unfortunately, when his parents were killed during a gang shootout that got out of hand,he had to rely on his sister for everything. After a few years, still buring with a need for vengence, he joined the Einherjar Mercenary Company for training. When he had made enough money doing jobs and working as a repairman, he hired his main crew to go with him back home and get some revenge. It only took a week before the gangers were all dead, and he was able to get some closure with his parents death. Despite his sister's pleas to stay home and help her with her son, his term with the Einherjars wasn't up for another year. It was 4 months later when Russell found his nephew Jonas, 8 years old, sitting on his cot waiting for him. Jonas told him that some men with masks came and took his sister, and a neighbor dropped Jonas off at the base. He was allowed to end his contract early with the agreement to keep in touch and help with the occassional task, and together Russell and Jonas left the mainland for London; hoping to lose the past in the busy city. Here he has been able to make contacts and find work as a repairman with a company that doesn't ask too many questions, and neither does he. Working with his fixer Leo he has been able to do the odd job to help pay the rent, while leaning on his hacker friend Drok and a corporate lawyer Franco to try and find Anna.

He generally pushed people around for a Troll gang. His gang betrayed him. He joined the gang at 10 years old. School was for the smart kids. Marcus knew he would never be logical enough to make a large investment in school worthwhile. After a failed drug operation, Marcus was the fall guy. There were extensive drugs and guns in their vehicle. The cops caught it on security. There was a gun fight, and the group drove off without Marcus. He was only fifteen when he went to jail. He served five years in a prison and got out six months ago. Luckily for him, he quickly got a legitimate job as a bouncer for a low-end club. The owner wanted to "gentrify" the club because the areas nearby were more rich. The bouncer wanted to hire someone who could recognize the criminal element efficiently without having an alliance to any particular element. After Marcus earned his keep by deterring most criminals, the owner decided to invest in Marcus. Marcus was missing too many days after brawling with several unauthorized patrons. Plus, several drugs were getting in. Drugs have a mild scent but nothing the unaided human nose could usually pick up. Plus Marcus was a little slower than he liked. The first surgery was the nose, which was extensive cyberware. During the surgery, the doctors discovered that Marcus's immuno-suppressant reactions were twice as strong as normal. Marcus had a sensitive system. Doing more would make him prone to lots of illness. Marcus being ill was the last thing either wanted. Because of Marcus's sensitive system, the rest of the upgrades to Marcus were done with bioware. Finding doctors who would install the right bioware and ensuring Marcus would stick around were difficult. It took about five years for Marcus the owner to trust Marcus with all the surgeries. Marcus's ten percent investment in the costs and the savings/increased revenue Marcus brought in made the club owner break even. Despite the length of their relationship, the relationship between the pair is just business for the most part. Socially, they would be acquaintances. Over the years, they discovered Marcus wasn't perfect at everything. He could not hack his way out of a paper bag, so to speak. He also was so unique that a disguise was near impossible. He had a curly horn in the middle of his head. Most have curved horns on the sides or pointed horns in the center. Marcus's former troll street gang leader disdains Marcus. The pair were never close, and Marcus is not a big enough threat to the gang to be a high priority. Still, Marcus will not let his former gang do any sort of business in the club. It was retribution for them setting him up as the fall guy. The gang owner expected Marcus to still be loyal after the jail time. He is only alive because he did not snitch. Marcus has no plans to snitch still because no one can cover his back. Traits [ Spoiler ] Body 7 Agility 4 (6) - Bioware Bonus Reaction 5 (6) - Bioware Bonus Strength 7 Charisma 3 Intuition 4 Logic 3 Willpower 3 Edge 1 Initiative 9(10) - Enhanced due to Bioware enhancement to Reaction Initiative Passes 1 (2) - Bioware Bonus Essence 4 [4.6] Active Skills: [ Spoiler ] Dodge 1 Intimidation 1 - Likely physical size bonus on checks. See 20th Edition page 130 Perception 2 - Smell Enhanced to 8 due to bioware Pistols (Heavy Pistols) 2(3) Unarmed Combat 3 Navigation 1 Knowledge/Language skills: [ Spoiler ] English N Japanese 2 Seattle Street Gangs 4 - I think the setting is Seattle. Please do correct if I am wrong. Marcus has not left the town he was raised in. Drugs 4 - Extensive knowledge due to gang and bouncer interactions Early 21st Century Liquor (Vodka) 2(3) Weapons(Concealment) 3(4) - Marcus knows quite a bit about weapons and even more about hiding them. His job has taught him a lot about how people try to hide them. Qualities: Positive - [ Spoiler ] Ambidextrous Guts Toughness Negative: [ Spoiler ] Criminal SINner Sensitive System Distinctive Style - 10 Equipment: [ Spoiler ] 25 Regular Bullets Ruger SuperWarHawk Armor Vest MetaLink CommLink - Marcus only uses this to communicate with the staff inside or the club owner. Low Lifestyle Cyber/Bioware: [ Spoiler ] Olfactory Booster 6 - The club owner wanted Marcus to have a scent as good as a dog. Dogs are a deterrent to decent customers and signify a low class neighborhood. Dogs worked and so would Marcus. Muscle Toner 2 - Marcus needs to be less clumsy when dealing with the underclass trying to enter the club. Less damage and more precision is much better. Synaptic Booster 1 - This was one of the last enhancements Marcus had done. He's still getting used to being much faster. This one was very expensive. Platelet Factories - This was the first upgrade after the Olfactory Booster. Marcus was suffering serious injuries. The club owner wanted Marcus available with less healing time. Less healing means less damage. Damage Compensator 1 - Anytime Marcus got into a fight, the club owner wanted him to be able to fight through it. So he bought Marcus this upgrade. It is technically illegal to possess but he is a criminal anyway. The doc was a street doc who is known for illegal surgeries. He owed a huge tab which was forgiven in exchange for the surgery.

ANCIENT EVILS AND WONDEROUS CREATURES FROM AROUND THE WORLD AND BEYOND! See the Büschterhüd, half man half wolf. See the Yeti, the most feared creature in the Himalayas. And wonder of wonders, see a creature so terrifying you must be 18 to view… A creature not of this world but the one beyond! Captured by arcane initiates and bound for your safety. COME ONE COME ALL. STEP RIGHT UP! ONLY 20 NUYEN… Erebos could hear the barker through the tent walls and sighed. It was a different town but the story was the same. Entertain the masses, scare the masses, make the masses pity… Right this way, step carefully lest you anger the creature. He could hear a hushed voice. Jacob was a real master at theater. He could whip a group into a frenzy faster than anyone. The curtain drew open and Erebos sighed again. Time to earn your kibble He could see the group standing there, watching from the other side of the glass. It was etched with any number of meaningless ‘arcane’ symbols meant to beguile and suspend disbelief. They stood watching, waiting. Erebos waited until just the right moment, when excitement was just giving way to boredom. He launched himself into the air and gripped the rope tightly, swinging across the room in a blur. He smiled at the gasps and cries of ‘What was that!?” Screaming in Sperethiel, Erebos launched into “The Sound of Music” and leaped to the center of the ‘cage’ and stood, arms writing about like snakes. He watched as the looks of fear gave way to … pity? Disgust? Erebos spun about and weaved a bit of magic, firing a bolt into the heavy glass. The shockwave carrying through but containing all but a flutter of the air. Have no fear ladies and gentlemen. The finest mages have created this barrier and I assure you there is no way out for the creature. More flips and attempts to ‘escape’ and the group was shuffled out. Four hours later, Erebos crawled out of the room via a trap door and flopped down on a couch. Jakob sauntered in some time later. Great night Erebos. Fantastic. He said. A dozen more cities like this and we can pay off Kecce and get our lives back. Erebos smiled. Yeah. Not that Erebos believed any of it but it was nice to dream. A dozen? Do you really have that long? came a voice from the shadows. Erebos and Jakob were on their feet in a flash. A man stepped just into the light, not to expose himself, but the large handgun he was holding. Let’s not be hasty and make a mess of things. The man shifted his weight and pulled his PAN. Tell Kecce I found them. He said. Jacob spoke quickly Hey, Nicholas, we just need more time. We have a good thing here. We’ll have the money soon. Nicholas smiled. A dozen more cities like this one is too long to wait. The loan was for 90 days. You are nearly double that. It’s time to pay your debts. He said. Jacob stepped forward, hand spread, pleading. We just need more time. We can do this. Nicholas just kept smiling. Jacob stepped forward again. Please, you know we will pay. We’re too afraid not to. Suddenly, Jacob lunged toward Nicholas screaming RUN ERE RUN! Erebos turned and bolted toward the window, scooping up his bag along the way. He leaped and half way through the window he heard the shot and as he passed the sill, saw Jacob falling to the floor. He ran for what seemed like hours through the streets until he came to an abandoned building he and Jacob had picked as a place to meet when something went wrong.

Well muscled, but not overly so. He would be classed as a Lightweight if he were entered into a fighting competition. History Ho Feng grew up in Kowloon City, Hong Kong. He was raised by his maternal grandfather after his parents were killed. Wrong place, wrong time, they were caught in the crossfire of a Triad shoot-out Between The Yellow Lotus Triad and The Red Dragon Association. His grandfather, a martial arts master and keeper of Chinese Mythology, was a refugee of the Republic Civil War in China. His grandfather passed on all his knowledge of Chinese Mythology and Kung Fu. Ho Feng's grandfather was brutally murdered by a sect of The Smoke Circle Society for stopping them from "recruiting" children in the neighbourhood for prostitution. Vowing revenge, Ho Feng used all of his skills to hunt down each member of that sect and killed them. Realising what he'd done, he paid a smuggler in nearby Kai Tak to slip him into Seattle. He's been hiding out ever since in the Puyallup Barrens because there are no Triads there. He lives in Safeland Storage Center #3, an old warehouse that has been taken over by a community of Hong Kong expats. Using what little of his Guanxi network he has left, Ho Feng was put in touch with a local expat fixer, who set him up with some running gear and has put feelers out to find him some work before his money runs out... Residence Safeland Storage Centers #3 Ho Feng is renting a room, a former storage locker, in a public storage facility that has been taken over by a community of Hong Kong expats. It feels and operates just like the tenements that Ho Feng grew up in. The neighbours are very friendly, but also extremely nosy, so it's exactly like home. The amenities are sparse, but the building is solid and provides a modicum of privacy and security. The building is more than just a residence; it is also a vibrant community,consisting entirely of Hong. Kong expats. Like Hong Kong, the community is made of mainly Hand Chinese, so Cantonese is the dominant language, with there being a wide cross-section of metahumanity. All of Ho Feng's contacts, except his fixer, live in the building.

He's lacking a couple of things, like a fake ID, transport, a safehouse and a commlink and owes money he cant currently pay to his bookie, who we can assume is mobbed up with someone or other. It could be amusing to have him reliant on company-issued fetishes for most of his spells, which of course he dumped to avoid being astrally tracked, but Im not sure how to modify that under the rules.

Name Zo Current SIN: [ Spoiler ] Steve Gibson Race Ork Gender:Male Age:Not exact but estimated to be 18. Eye color:Brown Hair Color: Brown Deacription: Zo is a brown skinned ork with a mix of caucasian and slight but not prominent asian features. Brown hair and brown eyes. His clothes consist of his black leather long coat with the crimson crush emblazoned on it with various patches on it, weathered jeans, wife beater or shirt, and mirrored shades. His hair is cut short in a military style. Back Ground: [ Spoiler ] Zo is a member of the Crush. Typically he resides in their territory in touristville where he ensures their protection money is due. He also serves sometimes as the go between in weapons deals with the Crush and Cascade Crow. He joined the gang at around age 12 when he left the farming commune after his parents died in a shootout with some Humanis goons. After wandering around and almost becomming ghoul chow he was rescued and recruited by the Crush. He still feels he owes them for it and always will. His acute awareness led to the nick name Zo (short for Zurich Orbital). They we going into another gangs territory to "negotiate" said territory. However, the opposing gang had other ideas regarding "negotiations" and set up in ambush. Zo was the spotted the ambush, letting the then leader know. The leader then lent him a pistol, and ambushed the ambushers. Jokingly they said he must be like the all seeing Corporate court, which led to him being called the Zurich Orbital or Z.O. which later changed to Zo. As with the other gangers they were engaged in BTLs, drugs, other vices and protection rackets and did this for many years. By the time he was 16, he was hanging out in the area of touristville the Crush controlled. For the most part to watch over the operations there and make sure no other gang messed with their turf. Also he occasionally mugs/roughs up the wage slaves slumming there (gotta keep up the appearances), especially when they think they own the place. He was approached by a cascade crow who was on his way to talk to a local friend (K-P). The orc recognized Zo from the commune. Telling him his parents and the commune were actually good friends and that they had business dealings (later Zo would learn this was gun running from Salish to Seattle). This led to him being able to get some weapons at K-P for a nice introduction. The Cascade orc also arranged for K-P to get weapons for the Crush as needed. Side note:Though he knows he is what some refer to as gunslinger adept, Zo does think much of it. His abilities work, and he has bested more than a few cyber types during his runs.

He runs a Weaponsworld Franchise that caters to the Wageslaves in Renton, Bellvue and Auburn. The shop tends to do a good bit of business selling cheap hold-outs to these folks. Met Zo through mutual frienships/contacts they had in the Cascade Crow tribe which occasiionally visit the shop to leave something. Street Doc (Lisa Night-Young FemaleTroll) 2/2 Lisa is one of the street Docs in Redmond. Met Zo a couple of times as he needed her to patch up one of the Crimson Crush or himself. Fixer (Roper) 2/3 Mickey and Edger vouched for Zo's competence in Redmond. Zo has done a few jobs for him with satisfactory results. Bartender (Edger-at the Loose Cannon-Ork, male, later middle aged) 2/1 Zo is a regular at the loose cannon. And is the current champion in Drunk Range Shooting Contest. Club Owner (Micky Dean-Owner of the TDO Night Club) 2/1 Zo works as bouncer when needed (sometimes in exchange for services rendered). Gang -Crush* (group contact+5-Mixed orc,human, troll gang)5/2 (Size 20 to 99 members, Area-Redmond District, Limited Matrix and awakened--(+5BP to cost). *Ferret's Gang. See background for relationship to gang. Named Gangers: Throgg (Ferret's contact with the gange)-an ork with some addiction issues (alcohol), good in a fight, typicaly found at the loose cannon when not working as an enforcer with Zo, Smidge (Human, Female---manages BTL dealers and protection rings). Reg and Yonkers are typical ganger street toughs. Reg is a male Ork of carribean descent, Yonkers is one of the gangs trolls, he is caucasion, supposedly his parents were from england. Yonkers carries a claymore. Dez, and Wog are another set of street toughs, Dez is a human male that is built tougher than most orks, he had chrome tusk implants to show solidarity with his brother orks. Parents disowned him for dating Wog, a female ork who goblinized when she was 13 (and her parents threw her out since they lived in Humanis provided housing). Wog joined the crush to survive and Dez came with her. Dez and Wog are of caucasion descent. Uncle Zola 1/1??--Met uncle Zola, traded the information on the computer so as to not have to fight the Vodoun. Exchanged contact information. Professor: Survived a run that killed 3/4 of those involved. Only the late comers and professor are left of that group. Is his Johnson for the time being. Jovan:Zo calls him Jovie, not particulary impressed with the teams mage (not enough fireballs).--PC Glyph:The other ork, a street sam, Zo doesn't understand half the "smoothskin" talk that comes out of Glyphs mouth. So far, ZO has been impressed with his combat capabilities, but thinks he needs to learn some streetsmarts.

Great Dragon Group: Members Posts: 7,116 Joined: 26-February 02 Member No.: 1,449	Jack Stiller/Jake Styles - "Void" - Post or Die... More former underworld enforcer Background [ Spoiler ] =Background= (Bull's 50+ Questions) - 1. What is your character's Sex? Male. 2. What is your character's physical size? Medium height for an ork but thin, with a wiry build. 3. What is the color of the character's hair, eyes, and skin? His hair is dyed a stark white, Unkempt and spikey. His cybereyes are cyan, and sometimes he forgets to blink for too long, creeping people out. He has an old scar on his forehead. 4. What is the character's general appearance (i.e., How does he dress, etc.)? Void usually wears business casual, but despite his nappy attire, he is still often a bit rumpled and unkempt looking. 5. Where was the character born (City, State, Hospital Name)? Void was born in the Ork Underground, with the assistance of a midwife. 6. What is the character's date of birth? September 13th, 2051. 7. What was the character's family life like? Void's parents ran a thrift shop, doing a bustling business, but never quite making it out of the area - the occasional theft or act of vandalism, combined with the "protection" demanded by the local gang, kept them relatively poor. They were strict but fair parents, struggling to instill moral values in a son who saw how futile their work ethic really was. He saw his parents' life as a trap, but trying to make it on his own didn't work out so well for him, either. He was a weak kid, picked on by others. His situation improved when he got a gun, but he was still a small-time punk, until he SURGed, and his unusual resistance to magic, and disturbing aura, caught the attention of one of the local crimelords, Mr. Biggs, who thought having an intimidating enforcer resistant to magic would be useful to him. Mr. Biggs took Void under his wing, grooming and training him. Void took his training seriously (seeing this as his one shot to get out of his small-time loser existence), and modeled a lot of his behavior on this new father figure (trying to be better dressed, and trying to educate and better himself). Mr. Biggs was eventually killed by a rival, but Void was firmly in the ranks of the heavy hitters by then. No one since has been able to command his loyalty in more than a purely mercenary way, though. 8. Has the charcter begun his own family? Not even. Void has chipped it, and cybered it, but his experiences with the real live thing have been rare, and usually very awkward for him. 9. Where or how was the charcter educated? Void's was mostly home schooled by his earnest parents. He was indifferent to it, picking up the barest smattering of basic reading and writing and business math, while remaining appallingly ignorant of most other subjects. since then, he has approached his learning with a renewed zeal, assisted by his mental enhancements. His favorite reading material is Reader's Digest, where he memorizes the Quotable Quotes and tries to Improve his Word Power. His memorization of things like Nietzche or Sun Tzu is ahead of his actual comprehension of them (think Otto from A Fish called Wanda). 10. Has the character ever done anything else for a living? No. He was a delinquent before being groomed into a criminal enforcer. 11. What are the character's political and religious beliefs? Void is politically cynical, and thinks it is a dog-eat-dog world where you have to struggle to fend off the rest of the pack. And being the "omega wolf" for so long has made him a bit more prone to violence when confronted by bullies. Religiously, he is leaning towards Budhism, although he has a lot of mistaken notions about it, and mainly enjoys the meditative techniques, which he finds soothing. 12. Describe the character's moral code. Include how mercenary he is, whether or not he'll kill innocents, etc. Void has a few lines he doesn't cross, and in general he would rather pit himself against other killers than be a bully like the ones who picked on him. But he can still turn abruptly violent when a confrontation is at an impasse. 13. What are the character's goals? Void wants to be successful, and "respectable" (to his mind, meaning dressing fairly well and sounding educated). He wants the status symbols of success, but is driven less by greed and more by insecurity. 14. Why does the character run the shadows? (Why does he run the shadows still, rather than getting a "real" job?) Void disdains trying to make an honest living, which basically means breaking your back only to have an oily thug extort the fruits of your toil from you, or have a dealer take your money with the self-destructive promise of escape from your dreary existence - for awhile. No... he loves his parents, but shudders at the thought of having to BE like them. His "job" is much better - excitement, power, money, and he will never be a nobody like he used to be, ever again. 15. What kind of personality does your character have? This should not necessarily be obviously stated in the background, as it is more important for actually playing the character, but it may colour or add mood to the history. Void is someone who was bullied and picked on for his younger life, who eventually became a badass sammie. As such, he has a bottomless pool of rage to draw upon. Fortunately, his work usually gives him a controlled outlet for his violent tendencies. His mind has been enhanced by 'ware, but it is still limited in many ways. He prefers to have other people telling him what to do, or who to kill, and is often lost without such direction (in such situations, he will tend to fall back upon violence). Also, he is good at spouting out things he has heard from other sources, but fizzles when people offer counterarguments. He is not a complete sociopath, but he still seems a bit "off" - facial tics, manic-depressive episodes, odd little habits, and a tendency to either drone pedantically about things that he doesn't quite seem to understand (Sun Tzu quotes when they don't really apply to the situation, etc.), or to mumble incoherently. 16. What special qualities does the character possess? This does not refer to skills, but rather to other things, such as how she gets along with people, whether she plans ahead, etc. Void is the ultimate soldier, doing whatever is asked of him. 17. Are there certain things that the character can't or won't do? Why? Void has an inflexible outlook on things, and is not good at thinking for himself, or using critical thinking for anything beyond combat tactics. He is almost paralyzed with fear by women in anything but a purely business situation. 18. What things, people, or ideas does the character hate? Void hates bullies, especially gangers, and people who he feels "disrespect" him. He also hates people who can out-argue him and make him feel stupid. 19. What things people, or ideas does the character love? Void likes reading, especially if he has a chance to impress others with his knowledge. As said before, though, he doesn't always comprehend the concepts behind what he reads. He likes opinionated editorials that he agrees with, where someone else has presented all of the arguments FOR him. 20. What is the character's name? Give both full birth name, as well as nicknames, street names, etc. His "real" name is Jack Stiller, and his fake ID lists him as Jake Styles, but Void is what he answers to now - it's not just his street name, but the symbol of his rebirth. 21. Determine what your character used to do, before becoming a shadowrunner (very important). Void was a delinquent, then a street punk, then an underworld enforcer. 22. Decide why your character left her old job, if she had one (also important). He was fanatically loyal to Mr. Biggs, but after Mr. Biggs died, he was floundering on his own. 23. Come up with a reason for why the character became a shadowrunner. (This very often will tie in with #22. This is not the same as #14, but rather why he started running the shadows originally. What led him to it?) Void didn't feel the same personal loyalty to anyone else that he felt for Mr. Biggs, so he worked as a freelancer, finding that it worked out for him. He still had the structure of having a job to do, but he could turn down work that was distasteful, or beneath him. 24. How did your character come to know her contacts? Contacts are an important part of Shadowrun, decide how and why you know them. Ivan (Armorer) is a lean, wiry dwarf with a black mohawk, a dyed crimson soul patch, and extensive tattoos. He dresses in a mix of grunge and military camo, usually with a black t-shirt with some offensive slogan or other on it. His place is nondescript, with no sign - either you know how to find him, or you don't. He usually has a bodyguard or two looming behind him, typically Russion or East European-looking; he is rumored to have ties to the Vory. Ivan is sullen, only brightening up when talking about weapons (he is biased towards European guns). He is a bit pricier than most, but is a meticulous craftsman. He also has lots of cheap use-and-lose guns, though, and is not adverse to buying hot guns; just don't expect him to pay more than beer money for them. Ivan has a fatalistic aplomb, and it is hard to shock or surprise him. He is one of the few people who does not seem to be nervous around Void. Mick Frosser (Fixer) is a pudgy, fussily neat man with pale, slicked back hair, watery blue eyes, and a weak chin, who wears white CAS-style suits. He runs a junk shop with broken-down appliances and other stuff on display, but the back room, ostensibly where he keeps the porn, is also where you can go to fence things, or to get less-than-legal items (although Void usually winds up buying some porn, too. He's not proud). Primarily a fence, he still occasionally puts runners in touch with clients. He gives even Void the creeps, and there are several nasty rumors floating around him, but you don't always have to like them to deal with them, and Mick is a convenient and relatively reliable fence. Loogie (Hacker) is an overweight troll who has a greasy mullet and coke bottle glasses, who can be a good source for information or the occasional judicious bit of hacking. He met Loogie at an anime convention. They get along fairly well, both being social misfits, although Void is bitter that this loser troll somehow has a hot elven chick for a girlfriend (okay, she's virtual, but even so...). 25. Does the character have a SIN? Does the character actually use it? Or is the character one of the SINless masses? This may be affected by the character's previous employment. Void's never had a SIN 26. Is the character a full-time shadowrunner? Or does the character lead a Batman-like double existence? Void is a full-time runner. 27. Which person(s) or group(s) do you love the most? His overwhelming loyalty was to Mr. Biggs, once. He loves his parents, too, but doesn't ever want to BE like them. 28. Which person(s) or group(s) do you hate the most? Gangers top the list (scummy, leeching bullies), but he doesn't like people who patronize him or make him feel stupid. 29. Which person(s) or group(s) do you respect the most? He respects the top dogs who have gotten there by chewing up their rivals, who show some class and flair. While politically cynical, he has a grudging admiration for the take-no-prisoners, in-your-face attitude of some of the more radical meta-rights and pro-environmental groups out there. 30. Which person(s) or group(s) do you fear the most? Women. They can always fluster him. 31. What is your favourite colour? Angsty, gothic black. 32. What is your favourite food and/or drink? Void is on a health kick, and is always going on (usually a bit sanctimoniously) about his protein shakes, multivitamins, and such. Occasionally, though, he will snap and go on a junk food binge at the nearest Stuffer Shack. 33. What place would you most like to visit? He would like to visit the Seattle Aquarium or the Science Museum someday, or so he says. Truthfully, his tastes are more low-brow than he likes to admit. 34. Which person(s) or group(s) are you most loyal to? He is loyal to teammates, but for most of them, he will still watch his back. 35. What pastime (that you participate in regularly) gives you the most enjoyment? (Warning: Answering Sex for this question can and will result in penalties to your character!) He likes anime conventions, on-line games, and doing things that supposedly make him more refined and educated. 36. What pastime (that you participate in regularly) gives you the least enjoyment? He doesn't like when he has to intimidate (or kill) people who aren't pros, or even muscle, but just people who got caught in the middle. 37. What annoys you the most? People who correct his erroneous takes on philosophy, Budhism, etc. 38. What (if any) is your favourite form of art? He enjoys classical music, and philosophy, even if he doesn't fully understand the latter. He also likes porn, but hey, it's art! 39. What is your greatest goal? He's more or less looking out for number one at the moment, although it wouldn't be out of character for him to get swept up into a more charismatic person's personal crusade. 40. What do you think is your characters best quality? His tenacity and drive to improve himself. 41. What do you think is your characters worst quality? His inability to truly think for himself very much, and his inner rage. 42. What is the most important thing you have ever done? He has done a lot of violence, but none of it really made the world a better place. The closest he came was when he killed a racist serial ork killer, but that was only because the poor sap chose the absolutely wrong victim when he tried to ambush Void in a parking lot. 43. Which religion (if any) do you follow? He practices Budhist meditation, but hasn't adopted all of its credo (or even understood it, really). 44. What is your most treasured possession (and why)? An anime poster (on the back wall of his closet, as it is a hentai one) signed by the voice actress. 45. What are your three most common dreams? > In an old west town, fighting generic thugs with a pair of six-guns. Sometimes the dream is like a first-person shooter, but other times it is a nightmare, where the thugs turn into zombies or demons, and his guns inexplicably will only shoot flowers or bubbles. > walking through a wasteland, along a cracked granite road, with poles lining the sides of the road, where various people who have annoyed him are impaled. He wakes up feeling happy and at peace. > A porno dream, usually about some woman he was too shy and awkward to approach. 46. What is the Character's current relationship with his family? He loves them, but thinks they are too idealistic. He visits them, and helps out with money every now and then, but they don't know what he does for a living - they think he has some suit-and-tie job. 47. If the character's family is still alive, what do they do, and where do they live? His parents have moved up (literally) a bit - now they are running a pawn shop in Tacoma, where the gangs are more reasonable in their protection demands, and the nearby fortress-like police station keeps violent crime down, at least within those few blocks. Void worries a bit, partly because he suspected most Lone Star officers of being part-time Humanis members, and doubts Knight Errant will be any better (especially with a Humanis thug as governor now). 48. Where did the character learn his Skills? On the streets, he learned to run and hide and shoot. Mr. Biggs refined his abilities, turning him into a combat machine (with the help of a lot of 'ware). 49. Does the character have a good luck charm? What is it, and why? No - he has a few keepsakes from his time working for Mr. Biggs, but they are just mementos, nothing more. 50. What type of music does the character like? Classical (a taste he got from Mr. Biggs), although he likes brainless pop music too. He doesn't like the harder "gansta" stuff, although he can tolerate it (at a club, etc.). 51. List any past serious relationships that your character has had, and give a brief overview of the relationship. None, really. He's still too messed up for that to work that well, at this point. 52. Where does your character live? Why does he live there? Void lives in a semi-renovated Brownstone just outside of Loveland, and tries to keep his biz far away from it. His apartment is a bit spartan, but obsessively neat (the housekeeping bot does a good job, although it occasionally gets stuck in a corner and has to be nudged out). 53. Remember, your Gamemaster like detail, so if you can think of any other little details, quirks, or whatever that you think might please the almight GM, then add them in as well. Oh, and your GM won't use any of these details against you at a later date. trust me...(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Void is more or less muscle, although he is capable of working covert operations. He is a bit "off", but still capable of being a team player.

Target Group: Members Posts: 6 Joined: 15-July 13 Member No.: 128,549	Pandora's Character Background =Background= (Bull's 50+ Questions) - 1. What is your character's Sex? Female Elf 2. What is your character's physical size? Above average height with a slender form 3. What is the color of the character's hair, eyes, and skin? Hair: silver, eyes: brilliant blue, skin: porcelain white 4. What is the character's general appearance (i.e., How does he dress, etc.)? Pandora dresses in beautiful gowns that hug and accentuate her form, she can also kick back and wear standard clothes, but always has something that gives her look a signature flare. She is very beautiful (Charisma (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) and wears make-up and other accessories to highlight her natural beauty. 5. Where was the character born (City, State, Hospital Name)? She was born Denver, Colorado; she was born at home. 6. What is the character's date of birth? December 25th, 2054 7. What was the character's family life like? Her parents are wonderful people, both are honest hardworking elves. Her father is a hermetic mage and her mother was a stay at home wife, tutor. Pandora was raised in a very loving environment, full of music, laughter and love. Her mother, who had accomplished magical talent, would often entertain little Panda (her nickname), with illusionary tricks and game. Pandora was given everything that her parents could afford and they often did without in order to spoil their only daughter. She learned to have an appreciation for art, music, sports, games, and many other hobbies. Her parents, in their love of their daughter, were blinded by how spoiled they were making her. They believed and still do, that Pandora can do not wrong. They love her with all their heart. Pandora learned how to manipulate her parents, and as she grew and blossomed she learned how to manipulate members of the opposite sex, quite easily. Around puberty her magical talents started to manifest. Her father wanted her to follow in his tradition, but the Spirit of the Seductress wooed Pandora and won her over to the Shamanistic traditions. Besides, her father was a combat mage for a security company and after hearing his stories, Pandora vowed never to kill a being with magic. Finally, she realized that even though her parents gave her everything, she wanted more; Pandora left her home to join the shadows. 8. Has the character begun his own family? Pandora does not have a family of her own. She has had many suitors, but she simply sees them as a means to greater wealth, status, and power. She is a little to self centered to think about other people, a husband or children 9. Where or how was the character educated? Pandora was educated as part of the public school system. Her mother provided her with an extensive education in the arts and culture. 10. Has the character ever done anything else for a living? Why? When you look this good you do not need to make a living. 11. What are the character's political and religious beliefs? Pandora does not much care for politics but is an outspoken critic of war and of the way hermetic mages are often used for combat. Pandora believes in the purity of mother Earth and is very much the traditional shaman when it comes to her religious views. 12. Describe the character's moral code. Include how mercenary he is, whether or not he'll kill innocents, etc. Pandora is not mercenary is the slightest. She hates the killing of metahumans, of any type and will punish, but not kill, those who inflict suffering on innocent children. She is willing to fight Spirits, and often enjoys finds joy in the challenge. While she is not willing to kill that does not mean that she will not manipulate, seduce, trick or cajole to get whatever she if after; after all the person is going to live to what is the problem with having a little fun? 13. What are the character's goals? Pandora's goal is to have fun, get wealthy, gain status and maybe even own a Monet or two. 14. Why does the character run the shadows? (Why does he run the shadows still, rather than getting a "real" job?) Pandora runs the shadows for the thrill of the adventure, to stick it to the corporations who hurt the innocent, and to gain wealth. 15. What kind of personality does your character have? This should not necessarily be obviously stated in the background, as it is more important for actually playing the character, but it may color or add mood to the history. Think Real Housewife of Beverly Hills, but with skills, a look that is not augmented with plastic breasts and a real brain. She is very self centered, but will not abide needless violence. But, beyond her self centered focus she is an accomplished anti-spirit shaman and magician. 16. What special qualities does the character possess? This does not refer to skills, but rather to other things, such as how she gets along with people, whether she plans ahead, etc. Pandora has good investigation skills, excellent social graces, does not like to plan ahead, but she will and knows quite a bit about magical lore, gangs, spirits and contacts. She gets along well with most people, can seduce almost everyone, but hates the stone cold killer type. 17. Are there certain things that the character can't or won't do? Why? Fishing, those things are so SLIMY. She will not kill the innocent, why you ask? Well why the heck would she? 18. What things, people, or ideas does the character hate? Pandora hates people who kill needlessly, who do not think for themselves, and who destroy or defile art. 19. What things people, or ideas does the character love? Pandora loves her parents, art, culture, clothes, luxury lifestyles, the innocent and of course she loves HERSELF. 20. What is the character's name? Give both full birth name, as well as nicknames, street names, etc. Real name is Pandora Silverhair. Nickname: Panda, Streetname: Silvertongue or simply Babe. 21. Determine what your character used to do, before becoming a shadowrunners (very important). Prior to entering the shadows, Pandora worked at a Hooters Sports Bar in Denver and then transferred to their Seattle location. She was a fashion model and Ms. Hooters 2073! 22. Decide why your character left her old job, if she had one (also important). Pandora left her job because it was a huge was of her talent and she felt that she needed to reach her goals on her own terms and with more control over her life. 23. Come up with a reason for why the character became a shadowrunner. (This very often will tie in with #22. This is not the same as #14, but rather why he started running the shadows originally. What led him to it?) Pandora began running the shadows because it gives her control over her life, this is very, very important to her, especially given the way mages are treated by corporations. 24. How did your character come to know her contacts? Contacts are an important part of Shadowrun, decide how and why you know them. Pandora came to know her contacts though downtime at bars, where she got to know some of them on a personal level some of her contacts are even in love with her. She got to build their relationships by hanging out and in a lot of occasions helping them out with some magical support. She likes to have fun with people but is not needlessly cruel and while she sees men a play things she does not led to on by thinking that they have a future together. 25. Does the character have a SIN? Does the character actually use it? Or is the character one of the SINless masses? This may be affected by the character's previous employment. Pandora is SINless, but has a good fake SIN. This would have affected her previous Hooters employment but her looks and social charm were able to get her the job. 26. Is the character a full-time shadowrunner? Or does the character lead a Batman-like double existence? Pandora is a full time shadowrunner, every now and then she may do some freelance magical work for a friend, but it always her choice. 27. Which person(s) or group(s) do you love the most? Family and the innocent. 28. Which person(s) or group(s) do you hate the most? Corporations, because of the way the treat mages and hermetic mages, because they are doing it all wrong. 29. Which person(s) or group(s) do you respect the most? Artists 30. Which person(s) or group(s) do you fear the most? Corporations, although she will never admit it. 31. What is your favourite colour? Silver, like her hair, of course 32. What is your favourite food and/or drink? Champagne and Caviar (She is really not a cheap date). 33. What place would you most like to visit? Tir 34. Which person(s) or group(s) are you most loyal to? Her family and runners who share a similar code of ethics. 35. What pastime (that you participate in regularly) gives you the most enjoyment? (Warning: Answering Sex for this question can and will result in penalties to your character!) Enjoying a wonderful night out at a museum, concert, sporting event or the like. 36. What pastime (that you participate in regularly) gives you the least enjoyment? Homework, that is why she was able to get the nerds to do it for her. 37. What annoys you the most? Killing 38. What (if any) is your favourite form of art? Impressionism 39. What is your greatest goal? To live a life of luxury. 40. What do you think is your characters best quality? Her best quality is her social skills and, even though she is self centered, her code against killing. 41. What do you think is your characters worst quality? Her self centered nature. 42. What is the most important thing you have ever done? Ms. Hooters 2073 43. Which religion (if any) do you follow? Earth based Shamanistic religion. 44. What is your most treasured possession (and why)? Her Ms. Hooters 2073 trophy and sash; because these items acknowledge her beauty. 45. What are your three most common dreams? Flying through Astral space. 46. What is the Character's current relationship with his family? Her mother and her talk all the time. She is a little stand-offish from her father but she truly loves her parents. 47. If the character's family is still alive, what do they do, and where do they live? Her mother is still a stay at home wife. Her father is still a Hermetic Mage and they both still live in Denver. 48. Where did the character learn his Skills? She learned them growing up and her father and mother helped her hone her magical skills when the talent manifested. 49. Does the character have a good luck charm? What is it, and why? She makes her own luck, but she does like having some bound spirits on her side. 50. What type of music does the character like? Classical, because of its rich culture, beyond this she enjoys music at clubs because Pandora loves to dance. 51. List any past serious relationships that your character has had, and give a brief overview of the relationship. There are to many relationships to list, she has had many suitors and male friends, ever since she was a young girl. She has a few girl friends, most of which are female shamans who share her religious views. 52. Where does your character live? Why does he live there? Pandora lives in a middle class neighborhood in Seattle. She lives here because it is a nice neighborhood and a good place to be while she works on social advancement. 53. Remember, your Gamemaster like detail, so if you can think of any other little details, quirks, or whatever that you think might please the almighty GM, then add them in as well. Oh, and your GM won't use any of these details against you at a later date. trust me... She loves to show off her hair, to the point that it has become a very distinctive feature.

DOB: 2048 Race: Elf (Mescalero Amerindian) Height: 180cm Weight: 70 Kg Hair color: Black Background- the Epiphany [ Spoiler ] Me, who am I? Call me Hosepipe, most people do. Or if you insist, Jorge Goodeman. Good a name as any I guess. Or maybe you mean who I was. I tell you this much, ain't no secret. The Hatalii woman was preaching: "You have got no private properties. Perhaps one or two of you may own the homes you live in, or have a nuyen or two set aside. But you own nothing that does not contribute directly towards keeping you alive. All that you own is your bodies. And you sell your bodies every day you live. You sell them when you go out in the morning to your jobs and when you labor all day. You are forced to sell at any price, at any time, for any purpose. You are forced to sell your bodies so that you can eat nutrisoy and live. And the price which is given you for this is only enough so that you will have the strength to labor longer for the profits of the Corp. Today you are not put up on platforms and sold at the courthouse square. But you are forced to sell your strength, your time, your souls during almost every hour that you live. You have been freed from one kind of slavery only to be delivered into another. Is this freedom? Are you yet free men? Be Shaikujin if you wish. Me? I want to be free." Chummer, maybe it was just hot or she really was Awakened or maybe too little sleep and too much soycaf. But whatever it was, I called up the Exec and told him to go frag himself. So who I was is just bound to be meat from that day on forward. Do I know what tommorrow's job will be or what I'll be eating. Nope. But at least it's good to be free.

Background-The Hosepipe Incident [ Spoiler ] Way back when me and Raul were starting high school the teacher asks me, "Your mother called you garden hose?" Me: "You're thinking manga not mangas and in any event that would be hosepipe." Teacher, "So she called you hosepipe?" Me: "That's not what I'm saying. You're mixing up two different... " Teacher: "Nevermind, I can't be calling you hospipe, It would be unprofessional. I'll just use Ramirez. Okay." Raul never did forget this stupid incident. Now I'm Hosepipe. And that's why my persona is a gardener and my mark is a hosepipe If you really want to know why my mother called me 'Dark Sleeves", it's because my arms were darker than the rest of me when I was born and my great grandfather's great grandfather was Mangas Colorado, a war chief in Geronimo's band. .

Target Group: Members Posts: 19 Joined: 6-November 13 Member No.: 170,716	Joe Smith, known on the streets as Chopsticks. The character is build under SR4A rules with 400 BP and 10 Extra BP for contacts. He got 10 Karma to keep up with the group, those haven't been used yet. Background [ Spoiler ] Chopsticks, or Joe Smith according to his SIN, was raised as an orphan and given from one Foster home to the next. With his 18th birthday, he left without looking back and crashed at the first place he could find. Luckily for him, he was found there by the orc ganger Mega Bite, a member of the Cereal Killers. Although Chopsticks only got a very brief view of the matrix while in Foster care, he knew that this would be his field of work one day as he was no good in sports and didn't show any special talents until now, it was also his only option. He worked as a lackey for the gang until he was given his first commlink, from which point on he tried to spend every waking hour in the matrix. Although he learned from the gang, he never joined their ranks, but instead always kept a friendly relation to the orc who introduced him to this life. Through him, he also learned to know his fixer, a persona from the Seattle matrix going by the name of White Rabbit and a dwarven Street doc called Blood Loss, who got and implanted him some 'ware to compete in the job. He often drank a few with Blood Loss after he had work done and the two learned to know each other outside of pure business. After he began taking little contracts from White Rabbit, he realized he would need to have something that acted out his powers in the matrix in the real world. As he was looking for a place to buy and modify drones, he found Joey and Tony, two brothers he lived with before in Foster care. They had luckily taken over the scrapyard from a distant uncle of theirs and made a business by selling stolen goods from there. With this set-up, Chopsticks was able to get some drones for his work and found an empty garage with a built-in bedroom, where he had enough room to repair his stuff between work and order his beloved asian food to. He took bigger jobs from his fixer, who even trusted him enough to give him the credit for a few droneparts and weapons for more violent tasks. Looks [ Spoiler ] Chopsticks is a male human of caucasian descent. He is about 1,90m tall (about 6'3" I believe), but is a very skinny person, weighing only 60kg. His dark brown hair is worn in a ponytail that reaches towards his belt line. Hidden on his neck under the ponytail, he sports his datajack. He usually wears jeans over a pair of sneakers along with a t-shirt of an obscure rock band, usually not an original one but a cheap copy. His name springs not from any racial context, but him always ordering asian take out boxes when available. In Foster care this gave him the name because he owned a pair of fancy chopsticks, where others had family photos or other personal stuff. Character Sheet Attributes [ Spoiler ] Human Body 3 Agility 2 Reaction 3 Strength 2 Charisma 3 Intuition 5 Logic 5 Willpower 5 Edge 2 Qualities [ Spoiler ] Positive Erased (1 Week) Perceptive (Rtg. 2) Negative Codeblock (Data Bombs) Reality Impaired SINner In Debt (20k NuYen) Erased is a courtesy from Mega Bite. The Codeblock can (as I read it) only be taken for one matrix action, but I decided If I am going to be bad at disarming Data Bombs, I can also be bad at setting them up. The debt is to White Rabbit, my fixer, who will get the money back he lend me for a few modification on the drones. Contacts [ Spoiler ] White Rabbit, Fixer, Connection 3, Loyalty 2 Only know him online. Does the "usual" work of a fixer, e.g. setting up connections to needed specialists, finding jobs or buyers for extra data found. They have been in a work relation for some time now. Blood Loss, Street Doc, Connection 3, Loyalty 3 A dwarf who doesn't live up to his name, as Chopsticks is still alive. Has some connections to Organ Leggers to get the 'ware that he puts into you and is also quite useful if you need general healthcare or treatment after a run. Likes to drink in a sleazy boobie-bar next to his working place. Mega Bite, Matrixganger, Connection 4, Loyalty 3 Despite the horrible pun in his name quite fun to be with. Chopsticks and him are rather good friends who help each other out, be it in an online shooter, a run or as backup in a turf war. He has some say in the gang and might negotiate a price for their work. Scrapyard Joey and Scrapyard Tony, Connection 3, Loyalty 4 Those 2 brothers of Italian descent own a scrapyard in which they sell spare parts from cars or even get the car running again (kind of). The real money is in selling drones, their parts and weapons and ammunitions to go along with it. They are supplied by a family member, but Chopsticks never wanted to know more of the whereabouts. Also, they are always up for a night at the bar or letting drones race through the scrapyard.
