1. BBO is normally hired by a fixer (connections 4 / loyalty 4) calling himself "Popov". Popov is a male dwarf in his late 40s. With his well trimmed beard, his preference for expensive custom-tailored (and subtly armored) suits, his russian henchmen and his slight russian accent there is something about Popov that calls "vory v zakone". In reality Popov has no ties to the vory. His regular place of work is a russian bar and restaurant in South-Tacoma named "Lenin". Popov is the brother of Ivan, an old chummer and former teammate of BBO. Popov has some friendly feelings for BBO, because the Ork once saved his brothers life while risking his own. Popov was BBO's first contact in Seattle.

2. BBO is an Ork, 35 years old and about 215cm / 7'0" large. He looks aged already. Lots of bioware-muscles. Mirrored cybereyes. His head ist completey shaven. BBO's face would look a bit more attractive than the average ork's if it didn't carry the look of someone having seen too much and having suffered great pain and sorrow. The visible part of his tusks is relatively small. His prefered clothing consists of an armoured jacket, a shirt with some orxploitation imagery, BDUs and combat boots or sneakers. He is a heavy smoker and prefers cheap russian cigarettes. And again a link to the image. Enough info?

how do you do those spoiler tags?

BLAH BLAH BLAH

1) Freezer (Fixer (4/1)) is an ex-runner who switched to fixing after a few years of running as a gun bunny, counting on a large network of contacts and friends. He’s a reliable, somewhat greedy character who is serious in business and doesn’t like to mix friendship and biz. The Priest and him interact in a very restricted way, but some confidence in one another is building up, if not simply because Priest really knows how to get the job done and Freezer really knows what jobs to give him. Most jobs The Priest ran were given from him, although he's not in any way exclusive to his fixer.

2) The Priest is a thin human man, about 6 foot tall, 145 lbs. He has black hair, black eyes, a long face, and often has a cleanly cut short beard. He has heavy eyebrows, a short nose and full lips. He's often considered a handsome man: even though he is not muscular nor does he appear athletic, he projects a healthy appearance and a confident attitude. He generally wears a long (down to halfway to the thighs) brown armored jacket that shapes his body into a more manly figure and broadens his shoulders. He generally wears white shirts and brown pants that he keeps always clean, even though his clothes are often quite used. He always wears a wooden cross 5 inch long, that hangs from his neck on his chest.

1) Chok, a human fixer (3/3) also of Chinese decent. Chok is in the import/export business mainly moving legal cheap goods in from overseas. He also dabbles in restricted and forbidden items as his primary source of income. Chok aided in getting me set up when I originally moved to Seattle from Hong Kong. You know the legitimate stuff like getting an apartment and finding my way around. He has helped me since I've returned from my extended leave of the city in getting set up in non legitimate ways.

2) Like most Orks, Freebird is big, but not as big as most. He wears his brown hair short and shaves daily. On any given day he dresses like a normal guy, mostly jeans, boots, tees and a jacket. He doesn’t have any visible tattoos, piercings or other body modifications. Freebird has a calm demeanor and when he speaks it is often short and to the point. Whether this brevity stems from social ineptness, a desire to be secretive, or simply a language barrier is not apparent.

FIXER: In 2068 the Fade’s own DE Mountain Dragons made the Super Brawl and faced off against the Miami Spears. The Dragons had made a great recovery from the disaster of the 2066 season and were favored to win, but Fade knew how deep and experienced their lineup was and placed some clever bets against her old team. It was a bitter victory for her when they lost to the Spears. Bitter because she wanted them to win, to come through the havoc she had caused, wanted to get past that part of her life. But she made enough cred to keep Collections off her back for a while. It didn’t last, and she ended up living out of her van.

Again.

A man she’d given a tip on the ’68 Super Brawl, Chok, an importer/exporter by trade and, more importantly, a rabid fan of Urban Brawl, both major and minor leagues, had recognized her as they sat on adjacent barstools, watching the Dragons and Spears enter the playoffs. He had been a fan of the Mountain Dragons and the up-and-coming Esther Fader, and had been devastated by the tragedy that had killed most of Fade’s teammates, including their reserves.

They became friends, chatting it up over the series and keeping in touch after. She even wrangled Chok some tickets to a UB match when the Dragons came to town in the ’69 season. Chok and she are good friends, they like to talk UB over drinks and debating strategy and tactics. Chok is a human and Fade a troll. Racial biases have kept them from getting intimate, but they enjoy each others’ company. Chok puts Fade up from time to time, and finds her work when she needs it. Her money’s about run out, and legit employment is hard to get, even with a real SIN. Chok has started hinting around that he has some ‘more lucrative’ jobs for someone with her skills. And as her options shrink by the day and her bills stack, she’s beginning to think about taking him up on some of those jobs.

APPEARANCE: At just over 7 feet, Fade is a smallish troll, lean and hard-muscled. She has dark, blue-black skin, bright icy blue eyes and twisting, swept back horns. Her statuesque features – while never mistaken for ‘beautiful’ - give her ‘The Look’ that talent scouts love in Urban Brawlers – determined, fierce and intelligent. Though these days, she often looks weary. She wears the best clothes she can afford, mostly street-style (gang neutral) stuff, jeans, synth leathers, long coats. She had a motorcycle until a month ago, when it was repossessed with most of her other belongings. She’s got little more than she can carry on her and has a bit of a nomad, or, in an urban environment, homeless, air about her, though she makes sure to take care of basic hygiene, showering nearly every day somewhere, at a friends’ place, or a gym or shelter.
