honestly, i prefer to think that they went out on one job too many and got themselves killed. not because i don't like them, but because i do like them--i like them as street level punk shadowrunners who, for all the phenomenal things they accomplished in their careers, are never going to be anything more than street punk shadowrunners.

Ghost Who Walks Inside is listed in the 4ed core book as an example of level 6 firearms, 'Individual superstars among elite forces'.
Granted, many many PCs may have enormous dicepools, but within the abstract of the actual SR universe where characters aren't meticulously optimized, I imagine most successful shadowrunners are perfectly capable with 4s and 5s, so a 6 is truly exceptional. Ghost is probably enjoying his retirement. I do find it odd that they listed Thunder Tyee as an example of a 7 firearms, the only thing I ever remember reading about his marksmanship was some obscure reference to him putting a cannon round into a submarine during the pre-treaty days. |

I don't think Fastjack is still around. Wasn't the SR1 decker archetype going to "put him in the history banks"? |

Ya know, life would have to suck for FastJack. Look at all the friends and compatriots he's more or less had to help bury.
I especially liked the fluff text at the beginning of a chapter where he dscribes himself as a fossil and admonishes the kids to pay attention and they might learn something. Makes him rather believable. |

Besides being mentioned in New Seattle, you can find stats for him in Brainscan. He is on page 49 and is a Grade 4 initiate. |

Yeah. He's the head of the gang the Red Hot Nukes, who specialize in blowing stuff up. Word is that Grinder 'saw something horrible' back in his days of being a runner, and is training the Nukes to be an army against it.
Horrible probably means bugs or horrors or the like. They never came clean on it. |

I believe you are confusing Ghost Who Walks Inside with the other amerind samurai of the sam verner novels, who died in book 3 of the secrets of power trilogy, Find your own truth.
