Noise likes leathers and tight fitting clothing. She enjoys showing off her frame for herself more then for anyone else.

Gen was born in some small Russian town, but that doesn't matter, she was only 6 years old when she was given away to the Vory in exchange for some kind of debt or another. Her benefactors had her moved from city to city throughout Europe and North America until she was 18 years old, she was a Vory play thing and used in more ways then one. Growing up like this was not been good to her psyche and some time in 2063, she can't quite remember anymore, she ended up in Seattle.

It was a city like any other really, nothing special about it to her, not like she got to go out and see it anyways. She was offered up to some politician or something for a night as a bribe so some Vory hotshot could get his hands on some tech or another. Or so the politician was supposed to believe. Gen wasn't exactly just an Ivanna, she also did some wetwork for her friends. She didn't enjoy the work, it just was, and she didn't know any better. It did give the benefit of getting some free ware stuck in her at least. Well, on this one particular engagement she messed up, and good, Apparently the mark had been on to the Vory's plot and had a welcome mat laid out for her. The details of what went down aren't important. What is important is that she ended up in lockup with her employers disavowing all knowledge of her very existence, the bastards wouldn't even post bail.

She got lucky though. Crash 2.0 came while she was in trail. The prosecution had been relying so heavily on stored data that they didn't have any hard copy proof. Got her off on a technicality, and with the Crash, the Criminal SIN she'd been assigned went up in smoke too. She was a free girl for the first time in her life that she could remember.

She did have problems of course. She had no real clue of the outside world or how it worked, she couldn't do a real job if she wanted to. She fell back into the only things she knew, picked up a new identity and though she ended up working with the Vory again, those that knew where she actually came from had moved on. In the last 8 years she's picked up English quite well and has a pretty good idea on the local scene, and has even managed to distance herself a little from organized crime, and gotten into some of her own projects.

Carl had always knew he was going to be a member of the Crimson Crush. He was an ork born in barrens in an orphanage nominally supported by the Crush. The best he could hope for in life was the honor of doning the red. In the chaos of the second Crash he got his chance to prove himself. Though he was a bit small and not as skilled a fighter as his brothers and sisters (both in the gang and otherwise) he possesed a tenacity and a love for the drugs that drove him to succeed. Rumor reached his leutenant that some ancients were going to come into the barrens to rob an old troll that lived in one of the tenements along the south side. The troll wasn't a member, no one really knew much about him but that wasn't important. No one fucked with an ork or troll in the barrens, especially not some pointy eared daisy eaters. Carl and a small gang were sent to guard the old trolls place. Armed with clubs, chains, knives, and three guns between them they were no match for the ancients who had better gear and guns. Carl was the last survivor as the team broke in, ransacked the place and took off leaving two of the Ancients behind to keep watch and try and beat the old man's location out of him. Carl was just about ready to tell them whatever they wanted to hear when the old man came back. The ancients sprung at him but the old man's spirit was ready for them. At that point Carl passed out from blood loss. He awoke to find his wounds mostly healed and the two elves bounds and tied back to back in the center of the room.
"Why didn'tcha kill em?" He asked confused of the old troll who was over at food processor tinkering with it to try and extract a bit of nutrisoy. He looked a little suprised and disapointed to hear the question.
"Three reasons pug, first I've killed more people then the ghost dance and I've kinda lost my taste for it. Two i believe fundamentally that we're all connected and that we have to move past our differences to get anywhere in this life. Three: I'm hoping their boss will be suprised when they come back with the Knick-nack they came here looking for he'll listen to my terms."

That began his friendship with Dirty Rivers, troll shaman of dog. Dirty dusted off the young Ork's spirit and set his feet on the path of knowledge and service to the spirits and his fellow metahuman feeding him neo-anarchist propaganda in the process. The Crush were a bit disapointed that their guy had to be saved by the target he was supposed to protect so they more or less told him he was Dirty Water's bitch, which suited him find as it allowed him more time to learn from the old man. Dirty Rivers tried to teach him the way of spirits but Carl couldn't call to them with the same chants and prayers, but when he performed the prayers devoutly enough the old mans busted trid crackled to life and low end food processor would ready to crank out the finest krill burgers money couldn't buy.

Years have passed and Light Rivers works to live simply bettering the lives of others, free of the taint of materialism as his mentor taught him. Dirty Rivers advancing age is catching up to him and Light must spend more and more time caring for his old mentor but he certainly doesn't mind. Light still maintains good relations with the Crimson crush and still lives in the barrens but he starts to look further afield to test his skills and earn some nuyen to start improving his neighborhood.

Carl is extremely devoted to him and would do much to secure his safety. The only thing that keeps this from being higher is DW encourages Carl to accept the inevitability of his death and live his own life.

An almost entirely ork gang local to the Redmon Barrens the Crush do make some effort to protect their neighborhood rather then just exploit it collecting protection money and providing some security as well as peddling BTL's to out of towners and locals near touristville. They are a solid second tier gang in seattle. As a member (and damn proud of it) Light Rivers proudly wears their colors.

Clarissa Songbird 2/1 - The closest thing Light Rivers has to a regular fixer Clarissa is the grand daughter of one of Dirty Rivers associates. She is active in the Neo-A scene and manages and part owns a coffee shop in touristville. Occasionally she'll point work Light Rivers way to help him make ends meet and keep him in the loop on Neo-A plans that might benefit from his abilities. She is one of the few people that knows Light Rivers is more then just a neo-tribal ganger.

1. What is your character's Sex?

Male.

2. What is your character's physical size?

Large for an Ork, has massively oversized arms due to cheap muscle replacement.

3. What is the color of the character's hair, eyes, and skin?

Min-Bi (Mongol) has a 10 or 11 inch topknot, that he keeps braided and running down the back of his otherwise shaved scalp. He has an oriental skintone but is darkly tanned due to the amount of time he spent out in the open. His eyes are large and dark.

4. What is the character's general appearance (i.e., How does she dress, etc.)?

Mongol currently only has two outfits. One consists of a pair of ill fitting Lee-Vys jeans, (a common knockoff ‘brand’). He thinks they’re pretty stylish. The other is his ‘working cloths’ consisting of a ‘lightly used’ armoured jacket, and a pair of combat pants. Both have a vaguely desert camo pattern. He also has a couple second hand shirts in varying degrees of repair, mostly from assorted militaries and Merc corps.
Mongol’s body is crisscrossed with dozens of scars. Some of them are due to injuries, while other’s are the result of horrible ware installations in remarkably primitive conditions. The most striking are the scars outlining his dermal plating. Railway tracks don’t begin to describe them.

5. Where was the character born (City, State, Hospital Name)?

Somewhere on the North Asian steppes. Hospital? What’s that?

6. What is the character's date of birth?

Sometime in summer of 2050. (he thinks)

7. What was the character's family life like?

Mongol grew up in the Black Smoke tribe. His life, up until about a month ago was one of constant violence, racing back and forth across the steppes on bikes and other light vehicles raiding other tribes, and fighting for his own survival. Following in the traditions of his people Mongol had a Sim-Rig implanted at 12 years old in exchange for a shipment of assault rifles and ammunition.

8. Has the charcter begun her own family?

Sort, of. His wife and young children are dead however, killed during the raid that exterminated the Black Smoke tribe.

9. Where or how was the charcter educated?

Mongol learned to fight almost as soon as he could walk. It’s the only real education he’s recived.

10. Has the character ever done anything else for a living?

He fought in the desert wars in Mongolia.

11. What are the character's political and religious beliefs?

Mongol is almost completely apolitical. Not due to any lack of conviction, rather ignorance. He’s quite impressionable however and would be willing to jump onto the personal bandwagon of almost anyone who offers him guidance, or kindness. One strident belief that he has is a burning hatred directed towards the media corps. He doesn’t have a clue who’s ware he actually has crammed into his body, but he blames them for the terrible life he led.

As far as Religion goes Mongol believes in a rather confused mish-mash of Chinese animism, protective charms, and ancestor worship.

12. Describe the character's moral code. Include how mercenary she is, whether or not she'll kill innocents, etc.

Mongol is a rather unusual case. He has seen things that would make the most hardened street samurai go pale. There is no such thing as an innocent in Mongol’s world view and is willing to work for anyone who pays. That said however he is intensely loyal to those he considers friends.

13. What are the character's goals?

Mongol desperately wants revenge on the media corp that funded his tribe. He doesn’t have a clue what corp that is, but has also quickly come to realize that even taking down a small corp would be an almost impossible task.

14. Why does the character run the shadows? (Why does she run the shadows still, rather than getting a "real" job?)

Mongol has fallen into the shadows because it’s the only profession that would hire him on. The military is out, that would put on the networks radar as soon as they scanned for cyberware, likewise with almost any security agency. Mongol doesn’t even know Seattle well enough to be a cab driver or a courier.

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.

Mongol comes across as unusually cheerful considering his circumstances. This is a deliberate attempt to make as many friends as possible among the people he works with and find people he can count on to watch his back. He tends to talk with his hands a lot to try and supplement his English.

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.

Mongol is very, very good at small unit tactics. He works well with others in a firefight, and can communicate without relying on technology, shouted code words, hand gestures, ect. He’s someone you can count on in a firefight.

17. Are there certain things that the character can't or won't do? Why?

Mongol would need an exceptional reason to turn on a comrade. Once his loyalty is earned, it takes something truly extraordinary to cause him to betray a friend.

18. What things, people, or ideas does the character hate?

Mongol hates the desert wars. He finds the very concept abhorrent. It’s a blood sport, where in his experience the players hardly even know they are participating, and certainly have no choice in the matter.

19. What things people, or ideas does the character love?

Mongol loves the fact that he is finally free to choose his own destiny.

20. What is the character's name? Give both full birth name, as well as nicknames, street names, etc.

His real name, is Min-Bi. It was given to him after the ceremony where he became a man. His streetname is Mongol. He earned that largely due to his appearance and the fact that when his 10,000 daggers contact put him in touch with the Seattle runner scene his contact was told to look for the “Guy who looks like a Mongol.”

21. Determine what your character used to do, before becoming a shadowrunner (very important).

Mongol was a warrior. He also helped smuggle opiate based drugs out of Central Asia to the coast.

22. Decide why your character left her old job, if she had one (also important).

His tribe was destroyed, his family slaughtered, and he had no future in the steppes. Lone wolves don’t last long there.

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 she started running the shadows originally. What led her to it?)

Money, and a desire to do something.

24. How did your character come to know her contacts? Contacts are an important part of Shadowrun, decide how and why you know them.

the 10,000 Daggers had a working relationship with the Black Smoke tribe. The Daggers would often provide material to the tribe in exchange for drugs, and other loot that they acquired. They even fought together on occasion. As a warrior in the tribe Mongol worked with them quite closely. They were also his ticket out of China.

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.

No SIN. Doesn’t even really understand the concept. He does have a fake that was given to him by the Daggers but other than the fact that he is supposed to be a “merchant Seaman” doesn’t know much else about it.

26. Is the character a full-time shadowrunner? Or does the character lead a Batman-like double existence?

Full time runner (he hopes)

27. Which person(s) or group(s) do you love the most?

Doesn’t love anyone (alive) at the moment

28. Which person(s) or group(s) do you hate the most?

Horizon. Like mentioned before however, he’s impressionable and can probably be sold on almost any cause.

29. Which person(s) or group(s) do you respect the most?

He respects the Street-Samurai (named Chrome Tiger) from Combat Mage. He thinks that his how a Shadowrunner should behave.

30. Which person(s) or group(s) do you fear the most?

Horizon.

31. What is your favourite colour?

Blue. He loves the open sky.

32. What is your favourite food and/or drink?

Horsemeat.

33. What place would you most like to visit?

Visit? Hell he wants to figure out where he is now.

34. Which person(s) or group(s) are you most loyal to?

The tribe. Right now, the tribe only consists of him. Hopefully that will expand.

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!)

Wandering the streets of Seattle, taking in the sights and sounds. Sometimes he looks positively like a tourist. He recently figured out how the camera function on his comlink works and is using it to great effect.

36. What pastime (that you participate in regularly) gives you the least enjoyment?

Figuring out how bits of technology other people take for granted work

37. What annoys you the most?

Desert War fans.

38. What (if any) is your favourite form of art?

Singing/music. Mongol is actually a fairly good singer. He only knows folk tunes from his native land but he’s quickly becoming quite the audiophile for catchy tunes that he hears in Seattle. He’s completely unbiased with regards to genre. He’s as likely to be caught humming the stuffer shack jingle as he is to be listening to Mozart.

39. What is your greatest goal?

Destroy Horizon.

40. What do you think is your characters best quality?

His loyalty and ability to fill almost any combat role.

41. What do you think is your characters worst quality?

Probably his naiveté.

42. What is the most important thing you have ever done?

He caused a 3 point jump in the networks ratings after a particularly heroic assault on an MET camp.

43. Which religion (if any) do you follow?

The aforementioned Chinese animism/ancestor worship

44. What is your most treasured possession (and why)?

A necklace made from scrap metal and grenade pins, that was given to him by his wife. He believes that through it is wife’s spirit watches over him.

45. What are your three most common dreams?

Mongol only has one recurring nightmare, he is running towards a camp on the horizon that never gets any closer. A helicopter flies overhead and fires rockets into it at which point it bursts into flames and his wife and children start running beside him. They’re on fire though but they won’t stop so that he can put it out. (This is also the typical flashback he has)

46. What is the Character's current relationship with her family?

Dead.

47. If the character's family is still alive, what do they do, and where do they live?

N/A

48. Where did the character learn her Skills?

Fighting Surviving on the Mongolian Steppes.

49. Does the character have a good luck charm? What is it, and why?

Yes, the necklace given to him by his wife.

50. What type of music does the character like?

Mongol doesn’t know enough about the music scene to have any genre bias’. He just likes music. He misses the songs that the tribe used to sing at night though.

51. List any past serious relationships that your character has had, and give a brief overview of the relationship.

His dead wife, and other tribe members. A mercenary company exterminated them because his tribes popularity had slipped among the Desert War’s core demographic. They were beginning to focus more on drug smuggling than fighting.

52. Where does your character live? Why does she live there?

Mongol rents half a room at the Poor Seamans Hostel on the Tacoma docks. It’s operated by a Catholic charity and as long as he doesn’t start a fight, they’re willing to leave him alone. He lives there because one of the crewmembers on the boat told him it was a decent place to stay and gave him directions. He paid for two months in advance, but only has a couple weeks left before he needs to find someplace more permanent. He thinks it would be nice to have his own room. He roommate irritates him.
