He took his A-Levels and joined the military to study veterinary medicine. When he had finished university, Shepherd volunteered for humanitarian missions and served a tour of duty in Jerusalem and one in the Balkan States, where he took care of wounded explosives sniffer dogs. Back home his patients were mainly dogs and horses. This was rather dull duty, so he once again volunteered to go abroad and was sent to Palestine once again. But this time things were a bit different: During a routine checkup, he discovered that one of his patients carried an unusual, implanted microchip. Shepherd removed the chip and reported the incident. When he woke up the next morning, he was lying in the streets with his clothes his only possessions. Once he figured out that he was in Caracas, he also found out something different: He had no money and (what was even worse) his SIN had been erased. His memories were fully intact, except for the 14 days between "the incident" (as he calls it) and his "arrival". So he made the best out of the situation and put his abilities into the service of anyone who was able to pay him for his services (or the remnants of other patients). In the following two months he also worked as on-site backup for shadowrunners and landed in a fixer's register. This fixer also gave him a fake SIN, good enough to be able to move in the city more freely, but not good enough to leave the city. Just a short overview of my concept...

Don't tell me you all got intimidated by Juan's little short story. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif) Remember, sooner you give a concept to work with, the sooner Abs can plot terrible, terrible things to do to your character.

Shooting Target Group: Members Posts: 1,856 Joined: 25-July 07 Member No.: 12,360	Is a face still a face when no one will return his calls? [ Spoiler ] Alfredo Lopez Brief Background Overview [ Spoiler ] Alfredo Lopez, a native Elf from Caracas, was a face who graduated to fixing shadowruns. He was moderately successful, and quite pleased to be out of the rat-race of Shadowrunning and instead calling the shots. Unfortunately for him, it only takes one bad job to completely destroy your rep. On a run he set up, a team was double-crossed by the Johnson, who covered his trail by adding 40,000 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) to Lopez' account. Of the five runner team, two survived, and hunted Lopez down to try and get even. Lopez was able to "negotiate" his life away from the runners, but he's now back on the bottom of the barrel. The Johnson who betrayed the team still considers him a lose end and is actively looking to eliminate him, so Lopez has had to go to ground. As a result, he has been forced to go back to the job he thought he left forever; running jobs, trying to build his rep back up so he can again be the one calling the shots, not the puppet at the end of the string. Such is life in Caracas.

A steady rhythm. A precise timepiece until the end of the world. A finite number of sounds. When the clock stops, so will she. A year, the doctor told her. Perhaps two. There was a hole in the heart, grown large, the doctors said, by risk, genetics, and hard celebration. Replace the heart, and things may change. As it stood, they wanted her to stay within a clinic. Bedridden. Wasting. An ignanimous end to an illustrious life. Beep... They had already done what they could, but without leading a life of SIN it was caught too late. That was the risk one took in the shadows, flitting from one game to the next. That was life - that should have been life in Aztlan before she left, and that is what her life turned into. Beep... Before the Crash, before the cancer, she was Sonora - the only way anyone could get her name. Dozens of false identities, thousands of nuyen won and lost on the right smile at the right time. A friendly touch on the arm translated to paydata for whatever team she was attached to. A whisper in the right ear gave access, and Sonora was good at it. Her signature was a small box wrapped in a red silk ribbon. The box wasn't the signature, however - it was the ribbon itself. Those who opened the box usually found nothing, or perhaps a note that simply said 'Thank you.' It was as if she trained her whole life for the con, what little of it there truly was. The Aztechnology tutors said she had a vocal talent that few could - with the proper training, she could be influential. A politician. She could sway the masses to the Aztechnology line, and make them proud to be citizens. It was not meant to be for her. She took the training, and disappeared at the earliest opportunity. There was no adventure in politics. She did not want to be beholden to a corp. Beep... She had known the risk even then, before the Crash. The Azzies had told her, trying to tie her to the company. What she didn't blow on parties, clothes, and finery she tied away on various accounts, awaiting the magic number for the operation to replace her heart, to make her whole. A broker told her of Novatech's IPO - and how she could not only have the operation to fix her heart, but enough that she would only have to run for the thrill, that her money would be secure and she could live in luxury for her newfound long life. It was a roll of loaded dice, the broker had told her. A no-doubt proposition. Fate was smiling on them, he said. Fly to Caracas, and the doctors would start the process to grow a new, whole heart. It would be crafted free of defect, virtually no chance of rejection. A miracle of modern science. She had landed in Caracas and was checking into her hotel when it happened. Chaos. Mayhem. After the smoke cleared, Jormungar had destroyed the Matrix and the AI Deus had 'died', she found her carefully counted nuyen was gone. As was her identity. Identities. All of them. Beep... The doctors were understanding. They gave her a biomonitor, and told her once she had the money again they would work quickly to restore her heart. They could not, however, do charity. For a small price, they could provide medications to prolong her life. Only a pittance, they said. By 2070, she had nearly given up hope. All of her money went to the medications, and they didn't seem to be slowing the decay of her heart. The time for healing, she feels, has passed. Now it is time to bring Sonora back into the minds of the shadow community, so she would be remembered for what she was and is. It was time to play the big game, the last game. When she reached Heaven, she could perhaps convince God to send her back. Beep...Be-be-beep...Be- Until then, it was time to leave her mark.

I REMEMBER ALL. I REMEMBER YOU SMELL LIKE CHERRIES.)(.5) Iron Will 1 (+1 resist for mind control) (.25) Contacts - 22 BP [ Spoiler ] Julio Santana (Loyalty 2, Connections 1) A bartender at Julio's, a dive bar in Caracas. Sonora is a regular, and he prefers her company as she (at times) will soothe the savage beasts that normally inhabit his place of business. Occasionally, he knows a glimmer of information - or barring that, who might know the information she wants. Carmen "Bunny" Santiago (Loyalty 3, Connections 1) A streetwalker. I know, I know, the name. She's Sonora's best friend, and coincidentally her roommate. They're the same dress size and occasionally Bunny will borrow an outfit if she needs to make rent by the end of the month. Sonora helps her with her makeup, and how to handle a knife in case her Juans get too frisky. Secretly, she wants to be an actress on Telemundo. Sergei Andreyovitch (Loyalty 1, Connections 3) A Russian arms dealer, Sergei is a strange one. Usually wearing old Soviet-style uniforms with an ermine coat over it, he is prone to flamboyant displays of greeting, sharing stories over a bottle of vodka (or the finest mescal, when in Rome) and having a reputation of getting you something similar to what you ordered within 24 hours, no questions asked. If you can wait, he can get you what you ask for. If you can't, that motorcycle you were hoping for might be a pink Dora the Explorer bicycle, complete with training wheels. In his defense, he figures it's something the cops will never be looking for. NodePhreak (Loyalty 2, Connections 3) They say that hope springs eternal. NodePhreak is an example of that saying, as he's fervently hoped Sonora will go out with him for years now. A hacker and who she goes to when she needs a quality short-term forgery (emphasis on short, he's a halfer, get it?), he trades these wonders of modern technology for chaste kisses, bottles of Jarritos, and the hope someday it will be more. He'll never man up and ask her, and they both know it. Probably better for him anyway. Sister Mary Magdalena de la Communion de Cristo (Loyalty 2, Connections 4) Sister Mary of the Convent de la Communion de Cristo is, as one would surmise, a nun. She is beatific and serene in her years, and she is always happy to sit and talk over a cup of Abuelita (as she hates tea, it tastes like dirty water). Her convent, however, is not your typical convent. Sister Mary is Sonora's fixer, and she has been in the business for a long time. Nobody questions why the dregs go to this church (because it's a church), and why the church has money (they're Catholic, in some sense of the word). Gear - 2 BP (HAAAAAA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAAA) [ Spoiler ] Sonora, having hocked most of her gear over the years to pay for her medications, no longer has much left. She splits a doss with a streetwalker and only really has what she carries on her - a run of the mill commlink, an armor vest from bygone years, a Colt Manhunter in a concealed holster and a knife in her handbag, a pair of autopolarizing sunglasses, and her biomonitor. Her real money is in her clothing, having managed to maintain last year's fashions (about three years prior when they were noveau chic). Actual gear: Knife (2P) Colt Manhunter (5P, AP -1, Laser Sight) Concealable Holster Various chic garments Street-level garments, current cheap trend Armor Vest Sony Emperor running Renraku Ichi Brose 1 Analyze 1 Edit 1 Encrypt 6 Scan 1 Stealth 3 Glasses Biomonitor Medical inhaler Respirator, Rating 3 Heart medication, aerosol vector (1 month, approximately ten cartridges, 3 uses per cartridge) Certified Credstick (silver) Low Lifestyle, 1 month 650 nuyen remaining Grand total: Metatype: 30 Attributes: 160 Special Attributes: 75 Skills: 136 Gear: 2 Contacts: 22 Qualities: -25 ========= 400 BP I am feeling better and better about this now that I have things fleshed out.

Edit: Zaius, how is it we have the same idea for a character, but we go different ways? Goodness gracious. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) It might make more sense to use your guy; as a face without contacts is just an elf with a small pistol... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif) That is pretty funny though.

I'll probably end up reworking some more to squeak a few more contacts in - I have a nun I'm turning into her fence, but keeping her a nun. It'll be great.

"Amnesiac Sam" [ Spoiler ] Name: ??? Race: Elf Description: [ Spoiler ] Of obvious hispanic descent, the elf stands about 6'5" tall. The tanned skin, lean muscular body and sharply defined facial features in conjunction with his short black hair and bright green eyes definitely qualify him as handsome. At least if one doesn't mind the obvious dermal plating. His age is difficult to judge since he looks youthful like all elves, but there is a darkness in his eyes that makes him seem older than his outside appearance suggests.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I must say I've been looking forward to your character, too. We need a big, strong troll to balance out all these dandelion eaters!

I like my guy, but if you feel our group needs a mage, I could make another, or modify Lopez. EDIT: I mention it because Kennedy looks really thought out, whereas my guy is basically just the concept at this point; "A Face with Hung out to Dry". -DrZaius

What? The hot-sim addicted thrillseeking human rigger with a past filled with rebellion and criminal misdeeds who loathes the Japanese and owns a spycar doesn't balance things out? Edit: Speaking of spycars and trolls... Martin's guy might make things tough. Not only is Smiley going to have to take out seats, force people to sit on laps, and stuff smaller people into trunk but the extra weight is going to make automotive acrobatics difficult.

We do need a magician at this point, but I'm going to look at all the characters and see how to work them into this twisted, sordid tale. And I've had tremendous fun and experience playing a magician. I would be more than happy to help you build one. Should you build one, however, I will go ahead and tell you that some areas of Caracas are pretty astrally polluted and there will be a background count. And if you go outside of Caracas into the forest, the fact the Green Wall itself is living AND awakened will make astral navigation and targeting out there a bit of a pain in the ass. But the group does need one, and I can give you tips to compensate for these things if you only but send me (or anybody else who volunteers to help) a PM. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Throw your mom into that package and I think the equation balances out nicely.
