Jane's home is one of the largest mansions in a Horizon Entertainment corporate enclave. She picked this particular enclave of course because it was mostly actors and stuntpeople who lived there - making coming and going in costume along with movie props and memorabilia so common that security has a hard time keeping up - perfect for an enterprising young starlet to be able to sneak out unnoticed to do some thrill-seeking in the shadows. Her home itself is incredible, but it technically belongs to Horizon and is a perk for her continued contract with their show. Her producer constantly schedules her to host parties, and there always seem to be actresses, corporate types, and random other left-overs from the party who couldn't hold their liquor crashing in her home... of course, she barely notices them - and when there are that many people around its easy to disappear for a few days with no-one the wiser.

Handle: Clamp

Short: Human-looking, male, dwarven Streetdoc turned Shadowrunner-wannabe

Long: Clamp started life in Seattle as the only son of a moderately rich dwarven couple who both earned their income as engineers. Constantly disappointed in and unable to handle their strangely undwarven child who refused to have anything to do with what he deemed stereotypical behaviour they sent him off first to boarding schools and then to a medical college in Paris.
After graduating he worked back home at a regular hospital for some years until the crash 2.0 gave him the chance to sever ties to his parents and coworkers, opening a small street clinic in Detroit.
As he heard more and stories from the shadowrunners he was patching up he began longing for more than just second-hand adrenaline. Clamp closed his clinic, spent his reserves on additional bioware (he refuses to get any cyberware installed), weapons and some basic training by Bear who set him up with a fixer, Lee.
Months later he's running low on cash and still waiting for a real run. His few stints so far have consisted of waiting in a car or safe house to treat other runners wounds.
Only once it looked like Clamp would get to fire some grenades but another runner sadly managed to handle the situation peacefully.
He's frustrated and eager to see some real action, blow something up big time.

Looks:
On first sight Clamp might be taken for a human boy (size about 1.2m and normal human proportions).
He has long brown hair but no beard. Looking closer one sees too many wrinkles in his face. These, his rippling muscles and a baritone voice quickly destroy the impression of talking to a child.
He dresses in loud hawaiian shirts, matching shorts and wide-brimmed hats from under which he likes to peek at people with his green eyes.

Bear
Clamps Clinic was in the turf of the street gang Bear belongs to. An unlucky fellow that had to use Clamps services quite often. When Clamp decided on switching to shadowrunning Bear taught him how to use a grenade launcher and explosives and set him up with a fixer who owed him some.

Honest Lee
Supplies Bears gang (among others) with weapons and also fixes for a small group of runners. As Clamp doesn't fit in with his other runners (mostly cheap, intimidating muscle) he's looking for a long term job for the troublesome dwarf.

Cecile Legrand
She and Clamp studied at the same time in Paris (due to family tradition the Legrands always study in France although this branch has lived in Japan for three generations now), became good friends during that time, promised to write (e-mail, whatever) when they both flew back home to different parts of the world but never did.
Cecile got her degree in art history, works for a auction house and has recently joined a witch coven.

Mark Winston
Mark was first consulted by Clamps parents to 'do something about our weird son!'. Although he used Clamps rare condition to get as many papers out as possible he also became one of his few friends and the only one Clamp contacts now and then, exchanging self-made dirty limericks.
He's still doing genetics research for a major bioengineering corp in Seattle.

Handle: Vice, short for Miami Vice. The name given to him when he went underground in reference to his old stomping grounds, and his clothing choices.

Name: Riley Travis
Gender: Male
Ethnicity: ¼ Caucasian, ½ Afro-american, ¼ Brazilian. Features are surgically enhanced to look more Caucasian, in stark contrast to his complexion.
Metatype: Human
Nationality: CAS

Date of Birth: April 3rd, 2041
Place of Birth: Jacksonville, Florida, CAS.
Height: 5’11�
Weight: 206lbs (including bone lacing)
Eyes: Originally brown. Cybereyes are usually kept replicating his original eye color.
Hair: None. Travis shaves his head daily.
Distinguishing marks: Riley has a regimental insignia brand on his left bicep, and a UV inked bar code across his throat. If scanned, the code is gibberish, and doesn’t match the checksum. He has a MedicAlert RFID tag implanted under his skin, informing any health care provider that he is allergic to opiates.

Demeanor:
Professionally, Riley goes to great lengths to be menacing, without overtly threatening anyone, until frustration sets in. Then he has to fight the urge to hang people out windows and throw them off balconies.

Socially, he’s very much at ease, and somewhat disarmingly laid back. In the rare event that he gets to completely let his guard down, he hurls himself headlong into his addictions.

He lives well beyond his means, and works constantly to ensure he always has cash to throw into the hole in his soul. Despite maintaining his own personal code of conduct, he has no hard and fast rules about what types of jobs he will or won’t accept.

History:
Riley Travis was born in Jacksonville, Florida, in an Ares Macrotechnology enclave. Both parents were loyal company employees, and he grew up in the “baseball, mom, and apple pie� corporate culture of Ares. After high school, company career counselors determined that continuing his education was a “dubious� investment and instead recommended that he either apply to the Knight Errant academy or join Ares Arms security force.

In an act of teenage defiance, he joined the CAS army and served for eight years as an air assault rifleman on the west Texas front. His impulse control problems kept him out of the elite echelon of special operations, but his physical toughness, forceful personality, and animal cunning made him an exemplary NCO. In 2066, he was honorably discharged as a staff sergeant with a bronze star for valor and a second for meritorious service.

After his honorable discharge, he was contacted by a Saeder-Krupp Prime recruiter. Rather than go to work for a SWAT or HTR team, or an Ares paramilitary force (Firewatch got word of his service record through his family and came knocking soon after he returned home), he thumbed his nose at his family again and went to work for Saeder Krupp Prime. After some elective augmentation and costmetic surgery, he was assigned to the Miami office as a “problem solver�. He split his time between negotiating with the Miami shadow community and shooting at them. After a year, he was a man respected and feared in equal measures.

In the fall of 2069, a new director took over his office and began purging the department of loose cannons and potential problems. Rather than getting fired or cleaned for his reckless personal life, Travis turned in his resignation and signed on with a Macao based mercenary company called Proactive Security Solutions. He spent 6 months sweltering in Vietnam, guarding opium fields and doing counterinsurgency work with the group before deciding he preferred concrete to mud under his feet. When his contract was, he declined to renew and examined his other options. Someone from the security firm put him in touch with an expatriate Californian fixer in Hong Kong looking for “freelance operators� to help him make a name for himself. The two connected quickly, and Vice was off to the races.

Negative Qualities (-15BP)
Mild Addiction: Vice has been a social drug user since he was 15. He quit completely while he was in the army, but relapsed completely while working in the non-stop party of the Miami underworld.
Mild Addiction: Vice is fighting a stalemated battle to overcome his sex addiction. He’s far less out of control than he used to be, but that’s just because he spends a lot more time working.
Standard SINner: As a legitimate citizen of the CAS, born in a corporate hospital and raised by corporate employees, Riley Travis was issued a SIN at birth. His SIN was destroyed in Crash 2.0, and replaced by the CAS because he was on active duty at the time.

-Neighborhood (4BP): The building is located right in downtown Hong Kong. It has an extensive fitness center, two restaurants exclusively for tenants and guests, an indoor pool, and a rooftop garden.
-Security (4BP): The building’s matrix host is well secured and monitored constantly. It has an onsite security staff, mostly to deal with unruly guests of residents, and maintains its’ own contract with Knight Errant, independent of the city’s.

Vincent Cocetti - Fixer (L:3/C:2)
Vinnie C grew up in the San Fernando valley, surrounded by wiseguys. After going to college and business school, he got into the “olive oil� business rather than the corporate world. As a mob finance man, he was able to avoid the hail of gunfire when the don went to war with a yakuza clan. When his capo and don were slain, Cocetti expanded his operations beyond organized crime staples and expanded into contract corporate espionage. When he got sick of LA, he moved to Hong Kong. After several productive years, an old acquaintance who’d gone into the mercenary business put him in touch with a former company man looking for work in the Free Enterprise Zone, and he’s handled Vice’s shadow career ever since.

Mai Li - Executive Personal Assistant (L:2/C:2)
Mai Li grew up a corporate brat in a nice, quiet part of Bellevue. While she was in high school, she and her friends began sneaking over the wall into Redmond to experience the “ork culture� glorified in the orxploitation movement firsthand. In college, she got an internship with a startup record label called Rhymin’ and Stealin’ Records. The VP of marketing offered her a job as his personal assistant when he discovered she had grown up on the fringes of the world that the company was selling albums about. Now, she offers her perspective on artists, picks up his dry cleaning, keeps track of all the meetings on his calendar, and drives his daughters to ballet lessons. Mai met Travis jogging in a Renton park while he was in Seattle to extract someone. She quickly figured out what he does, and after spending all day working with studio thugs, loves the giddy thrill of associating with a real criminal when he’s in town.

Hokato Ota - Fixer (L:2/C:2)
Ota grew up in the slums of Osaka and fell in with a “starved wolf� gang. Eventually, he caught the eye of the Snakeheads in charge, who saw the advantage of having a native Japanese member in their operation in the port city. Over time, the smugglers moved him to their Neo-Tokyo operation, to handle arranging bribes to the more racist officials who wouldn’t deal with an outsider. The gang specializes in kidnapping young girls from mainland China and Vietnam and smuggling them into Neo-Tokyo to fill the bunraku parlors and hostess clubs, and smuggling weapons and munitions back into the warzone to fuel the ongoing conflicts. The gang is also the JIS end of a pipeline that smuggles opiates into ultra-conservative Neo-Tokyo. Vice and Ota met when he was in Vietnam working for PSS, a Macao based mercenary company that the Snakeheads’ opium growers had hired to protect their processing sites.

Abraham Lincoln Ramirez
Male Ork

Physical Description: Height - 2.0 m. Weight - 105 kg. Abe Ramirez has deeply tanned skin, with dark brown/black eyes and hair. Slightly taller and more slender than the average ork, he has a close-cropped beard, and wears his hair relatively short. He tends to wear relaxed and unrestrictive clothing suitable for free movement in open terrain.

Born in CalFree in 2042, the son of a Latino ork father and a baseline human Anglo mother, Abe grew up in the East Bay sprawl during the years of the Japanese occupation. He was pretty skinny for an ork, and did not get involved in the Resistance movement as a teen, focusing instead on studying amid what schools there were in his environment.

In 2059, Abe left the East Bay and began to study biology and parabiology at UCLA. During his time there he became in increasingly uneasy with living in a society where every government, every corp, could track your movements, habits - everything. He fell in with a group of fellow students and others from the student body who felt the same way, but he never had the aptitude for the programming skills needed to spoof RFIDs and Matrix access IDs that many of the others possessed, and which allowed them to (usually) avoid traces.

After his undergraduate years, he continued studying biology at CalTech. In his second year, he did field work in Utah and Arizona, and while the other academics in his research group felt uncomfortable at the separation from the rest of the world, relying on a slow sat connection to the Matrix, Abe felt the opposite. He appreciated the openness, and the space, and not being under surveillance every moment. As a result, even after his initial data collection was complete, he began to spend more and more of his time in the area, ostensibly doing research, but in reality mostly just enjoying the distance from the rest of metahumanity - climbing mountains, riding horses across the desert, and just watching the desert fauna go about its life without viewing it from a scientific perspective. When the Matrix crash of '64 happened, he didn't realize it for days, when he arrived back at Provo. When he found that he and his personal data had been erased from most systems, he jumped at the opportunity to distance himself further from his roots in a technological society.

After '64, for the most part he lived in the semi-nomadic traditionalist Amerind communities that dot the area around the former Ute/PCC border. He also often went on extended camping trips out into the wilderness by himself. Given the presence of magic-rich areas in the desert, he practiced daily with rifles and shotguns in order to deal with the occasionally severe threats that presented in the hostile environment. Ideally though, he would just be able to spend time watching such creatures. During this time, he also gradually noticed his senses becoming sharper and his reflexes becoming quicker. He originally thought it was just his lifestyle making him more fit, but when he began to see into the IR spectrum, he realized that the magic in the desert was changing him, as well.

During this time he supported himself by occasionally acting as a guide for clueless but well-meaning tourists - as long as they weren't destructive of the environment - and he also assisted with some smuggling between Ute, Sioux, and the UCAS. This lifestyle maintained itself for several years, but for the past couple Pueblo has been attempting to assert authority over the newly-absorbed Ute Nation. Their border security was considerably better than Ute's had been, and their technological advantage meant that the kept a much better watch on the internal population. As a result, he started venturing further and further afield as part his jobs, escorting smugglers across most of the countries of North America. Some smugglers try to lose themselves in population centers, by blending into a crowd, but some take largely untraveled routes away from most metahumanity. And this was what he enjoyed - dark nights under the stars, traveling through new ecosystems, finding spots overlooked by a hypertechnological society.

Lifestyle:

One of the most common and lucrative runs goes from Seattle to Denver and to the borders of the UCAS and CAS. As a result, Abe tends to spend a lot of time in Seattle in between runs, more than he spends in any other city. As a result, he's established a crash pad for himself in the Ork Underground just north of the University of Washington. It's relatively light on amenities, with little furniture beyond a couple of pads on the floor and a couple old chairs. There's also no environmental light, as the complex's only source of power is a cable that snakes its way up to two solar panels unobtrusively placed on a roof of a building aboveground, which struggle to produce much current in Seattle's dreary climate. Nearly all of that power is used to drive the one thing in the place he really cares about, the full spectrum lights whose light is carefully focused upon clustered racks and trays containing all sorts of vegetables, and the small drone that tends the plants during the time that Abe is away, with a reflective covering ensuring that every possible photon is available to the plants. The lack of light doesn't bother Abe, and it's a useful defensive precaution, though if he ever brought anybody by, he supposed it might unnerve them. Normally, he likes seeing the sky and the stars, but the Underground was the best place to avoid the pervasive surveillance that's everywhere up above. In addition, the couple of rooms are quite secure for their location, with strong maglocks and a surprisingly efficient computer system, and the people in the Underground generally look out for one another, with ork security being responsive to intrusions from outsiders.

Contacts:

MCT Hacker (Tokyo): While Abe was at UCLA, another of the students who were were interested in subverting a panoptical society was a young Japanese student whose parents worked with MCT in San Francisco. While the Japanese were generally not warmly welcomed in the rest of CalFree, he and Abe struck up a friendship, having complementary personalities and both strongly driven to find ways to experience freedom. After leaving UCLA, the friend eventually returned to San Francisco and from there to Tokyo, going into a respectable position at MCT due to the influence of his parents. While he is not able to use his job to directly further the ideals that they promoted as youths - as he would almost surely be found out very quickly - he continues to use his skills in a variety of ways away from work: forging documents, writing specialized programs to protect identities of 'runners, and being active on Japanese shadow nodes.

Smuggler (Seattle): Specializes in getting supporting the fair and free action of the market. Rather impressed with Abe's knowledge of back routes as well as his weapon skills during a couple of runs with him, he might be willing to put him in touch with certan specialized suppliers and contacts that he has, as well as giving him a job once in a while.

Julianne Jeter (Oft called J.J. by her fans) began as a no-body in San Francisco. Her parents were collaborators with the Japanese occupation, and were murdered by freedom fighters. Julianne escaped to Hollywood where she worked as an exotic dancer while trying to put together an acting career and deal with the mental trauma of the loss of her parents. She was forced to separate herself from her own life – living as if she were a character – just to avoid the realities of a lifestyle in which she was little better than an object. She started living her life like it was a game, with little concern for anything other than the thrill of the moment.

After a few years, she caught her ‘big break’ when the second unit production team of Horizon Entertainment’s ‘Karl KombatMage: The Legend Continues – THE MOVIE’ hired her as a stunt double for beautiful Kayla Henderson – a rising starlet who was making to play ‘Tricia Turbo’ – a villainous love-interest for the show’s protagonist. Halfway through the shoot, Kayla died of an overdose – leaving the production team in a serious jam, as they didn’t have the budget for another starlet with the ability to play the character, and the scheduled Poly-POV special edition Pay-Per-Download was supposed to have Tricia Turbo as an additional POV. Noticing Julianne’s talent for acting, the producer gave her a try – and discovered that Julianne’s sim-sense track had a sort of pop that was completely different… to the viewer, it was like being in a constant high-energy state just off the edge, letting them feel the freedom of being out of control with no care for right or wrong – just for the thrill. Producer Jerry Sigmund knew he’d struck gold, and immediately browbeat Julianne into a contract that essentially made her Horizon’s property – SIN and all. He had her fitted with the cyber and bioware that they’d ripped out of Kayla’s corpse, as well as a few other choice pieces that really sold the action sequences – he made sure Julianne did all her own stunts, because those were the best parts of her emotive track. The movie was a Summer Blockbuster, but the special edition release created such a demand for Tricia Turbo that Horizon ordered a spin-off series centered around the POV of the villain Karl couldn’t kill.

For years Julianne continued acting for Horizon, doing the show in the main season and movies in the off season. The work was good, and Julianne always wanted to push the envelope of the stunts further and further – always seeking to top her previous high… It got to a point that she didn’t even have to do much actual work – shooting was ready to go when she arrived on set, and most of her scenes only ever needed one take. She had become famous for playing some of the most memorable villains in recent culture – from truly sadistic monsters to voodoo spirit-possessed corpses to anti-heroes. Critics would comment that “Julianne Jeter is perhaps the last true Shakespearian actor – when she puts on the costume, she literally becomes the character even without the aid of personafix technology that so many actors rely on.�

The truth was far less optimistic. Julianne had never been mentally stable – as she traded character for character, mask for mask – she eventually had lost track of who she really was. Further, she was debilitated by the extensive ware in her system – while she was acting, the move-by-wire system of course worked flawlessly, as she mentally choreographed every movement with the grace of a born dancer… but when the lights were dim and the cameras weren’t looking – whenever she tried to relax – the muscle tremors, shakes, and misfires were unbearable… Combined with her thrill-seeking personality, this led her to constantly quest for that high-energy state of being in which those debilitating effects were muted. Since her stardom began, nobody ever really ‘met’ Julianne… they only ever met the character – the internal mask she wore. This constant acting – both as the starlet personality and as a literal parade of villains – took a toll psychologically, and three new masks developed along the lines of classic villainous archetypes… but these characters weren’t in any script – only existing in Julianne’s mind.

Slowly, Jerry Sigmund – who had hitched his entire career to Julianne’s proverbial wagon – began noticing that the high points of her emotional track were no longer of the same quality… after speaking with her and a Horizon psychologist, he discovered that she simply had gotten to the point that acting didn’t thrill her anymore… she needed real experience to reach those highs. He also learned of her developing personas – not classical MPD, since she could change into them at will, but rather a sort of addiction to the thrill of becoming those characters. That’s when Sigmund struck upon a moment of genius… rather than spending the studio’s money on psychological treatments that might not even improve her emotional tracks, he’d facilitate her addiction… let her become those characters in the real world, recording the emotional track all along to later be added to her Sims in post-production. And it wouldn’t even cost anything – hell, it would make money… all he had to do was become the fixer for these fictional shadowrunners...

Jerry recruited his prop-manager – Stanley Kirtpatrick (commonly known as Prop-Man-Stan) into the plan, and together they outfitted Julianne with everything she’d need. If she didn’t get caught, then they could later introduce those characters to the Sims as ‘True Story’ crime films… if she did get caught, well it was the sort of PR for her Sims that couldn’t be bought for any price… and there were always work-release programs. Besides – it wasn’t even like they were abusing her mental illness or anything… they were just giving her what she wanted. They even set her up with a fake identity (ironically claiming her to be her own understudy) for an extra layer of deniability.

Her three runner personas along with descriptions are (note: sometimes she’ll mix and match these – for example, Julianne may play the role of Jane Reaction disguised as Enigma):

Jane Reaction (Anti-Hero): Jane isn’t in it for the money, and she doesn’t really care about hurting people or anything… she’s just a girl who wants to have fun… and high speed chases, explosions, and the like are the best kind of fun… and if she can help people out along the way, that’s cool too. Jane is a beautiful woman with green eyes and reddish black hair. She favors skin-tight black pants, a brown leather bomber-jacket, brown gloves, a black spaghetti strap tank that leaves her midriff showing, knee-high brown riding boots, and an aviator’s helmet complete with goggles. She wears a wide brown leather belt that is high on one hip and low on the other, with a quick-draw holster on on the low side hugging her thigh. A bull whip hangs from the other side of her belt. In the holster is a silver seven shot revolver with a pearl grip. An identical revolver is in a hidden arm slide on her right arm, a grapple pistol is in a slide on her left arm, and a pistol grenade launcher loaded with neuro-stun grenades is in a conceled holster under her jacket with a spare clip of flashbangs.

Enigma (Sociopath): Enigma is a sociopathic hedonist – enjoying the causing of fear and pain – but most of all emphasizes its showmanship. Enigma is androgynous, it’s voice constantly fluctuating between masculine and feminine pitches. It’s long deathly-white hair framing a featureless face of burn scars with slits for the eyes, mouth, nose, and ears. It wears a highly fashionable custom three-piece suit – royal blue with silver pinstripes – with a royal blue overcoat and a matching fedora with a silver hatband. Enigma’s eyes are a kaleidoscope of shifting colors, and it wears black lambskin gloves and old-fashioned black dress shoes with a slight heel. It’s shirt is jet black, and instead of a tie, it wears a blue jabot. The lapel of its jacket is monogrammed with a symbol of two triangles facing each other across a straight line. It has a pistol grenade launcher full of fragmentation grendes with an extra clip of breathtaker grenades. It also keeps a revolver in its right sleeve on a slide, as well as a monowhip in its left sleeve on a slide. However, Enigma’s favored and primary weapon is a deadly, hi-tech version of a classic tommy-gun.

Julia Dupree (Con-Artist): Julia is the most laid-back of the trio – an unassuming woman who tends to wear a white skirt suit from the common Actioneer business line. Her hair and eyes change colors between jobs, and her features are fairly bland. Julia is a con-artist who gets her thrills from the pleasure of pulling the wool over dangerous peoples’ eyes. She’s in it for the art rather than the con. She only packs weapons when she thinks she has to. She is also the only of the trio to have a fake SIN – claiming her to be an actress’ understudy.

Weaver is very much the sort of girl who will do her utmost to help out a friend, especially if it's a friend with a crazy plan in need of someone to actually make it work. (Which Weaver should be able to manage with her high logic & Intuition stats plus Analytical Mind). Providing she doesn't have to spend any nuyen on it, because Weaver has an intense dislike of actually paying for things with her own money. (She takes following her Paragon a bit past just spoofing lifestyle, by spoofing anything she can get away with).

Personality wise she's most often upbeat, usually determined but with a capricious side which makes her prone to pulling pranks on people. Oh and with a dash of melancoly thrown in whenever the topic of family comes up. (Oh and as for the partying her teenage rebellion stage has hit late because of all the time she's spent trying to track down clues about her brother, now that finding him is becomming even less likely she's starting to take a little time out to enjoy herself)

The Happy Napper - Coffin Motel.

Sitting on the border between Downtown Seattle and Tacoma the Happy Napper is one of a small chain of automated Coffin Motels, catering mostly to tourists without the money to stay anywhere better and people who wish to rent a room by the hour for 'recreational reasons'.

Security Low, Comforts Squatter, Necessities Squatter, Neighborhood Squatter. Total LP 5.

No entertainments included as standard. (Yet another reason why Weaver would associate with wild party types)

Weavers room is one the second floor, directly above an alley way where the trash is usually kept. The building would fail any serious inspections, but frequent bribes keep anyone from looking too hard at the poor condition of the place. Instead of dealing with the annoying concept of 'paying' to stay there Weaver has hacked the buildings nexus and convinced it someone has already paid in advance for the room.

Handle: Vice, short for Miami Vice. Cocetti game him the name when he came to Hong Kong, because of his old stomping grounds, and his clothing choices.

Name: Riley Travis
Gender: Male
Ethnicity: ¼ Caucasian, ½ Afro-america, ¼ Brazilian. Features are surgically enhanced to look more Caucasian, in stark contrast to his complexion.
Metatype: Human
Nationality: CAS

Date of Birth: April 3rd, 2041
Place of Birth: Jacksonville, Florida, CAS.
Height: 6’1� (1.8542m)
Weight: 206lbs (93.44kg)
Eyes: Originally brown. Cybereyes are usually kept replicating his original eye color.
Hair: None. Travis shaves his head daily.
Distinguishing marks: Riley has a regimental insignia brand on his left bicep, and a UV inked bar code across his throat. If scanned, the code is gibberish, and doesn’t match the check number. He has a MedicAlert RFID tag implanted under his skin, informing any health care provider that he is allergic to opiates.

Demeanor:
Professionally, Riley goes to great lengths to be menacing, without overtly threatening anyone, until frustration sets in. Then he has to fight the urge to hang people out windows and throw them off balconies.

Socially, he’s very much at ease, and somewhat disarmingly laid back. In the rare event that he gets to completely let his guard down, he hurls himself headlong into his addictions.

He lives well beyond his means, and works constantly to ensure he always has cash to throw into the hole in his soul. Despite maintaining his own personal code of conduct, he has no hard and fast rules about what types of jobs he will or won’t accept.

History:
Riley Travis was born in Jacksonville, Florida, in an Ares Macrotechnology enclave. Both parents were loyal company employees, and he grew up in the “baseball, mom, and apple pie� corporate culture of Ares. After high school, company career counselors determined that continuing his education was a “dubious� investment and instead recommended that he either apply to the Knight Errant academy or join Ares Arms security force.

In an act of teenage defiance, he joined the CAS army and served for eight years as an air assault rifleman on the west Texas front. His impulse control problems kept him out of the elite echelon of special operations, but his physical toughness, forceful personality, and animal cunning made him an exemplary NCO. In 2066, he was honorably discharged as a staff sergeant with a bronze star for valor and a second for meritorious service.

After his honorable discharge, he was contacted by a Saeder-Krupp Prime recruiter. Rather than go to work for a SWAT or HTR team, or for Firewatch, he thumbed his nose at his family again and went to work for Saeder Krupp Prime. After some elective augmentation and cosmetic surgery, he was assigned to the Miami office as a “problem solver�. He split his time between negotiating with the Miami shadow community and shooting at them. After a year, he was a man respected and feared in equal measures.

In the fall of 2069, a new director took over his office and began purging the department of loose cannons and potential problems. Rather than getting fired or cleaned for his reckless personal life, Travis turned in his resignation and signed on with a Macao based mercenary company called Proactive Security Solutions. He spent 6 months sweltering in Vietnam, guarding opium fields and doing counterinsurgency work with the group before deciding he preferred concrete to mud under his feet. When his contract was, he declined to renew and examined his other options. Someone from the security firm put him in touch with an expatriate Californian fixer in Hong Kong looking for “freelance operators� to help him make a name for himself. The two connected quickly, and Vice was off to the races.

Travis remains estranged from his family. He broke ties with his parents when he want to work for Saeder-Krupp. They’re now retired and still in Jacksonville, berating his sister about why they don’t have any grandchildren yet. He hasn’t spoken to his older sister Kathleen since he left for Vietnam. She is an Ares fleet helicopter pilot in Manhattan, and spends her days chauffeuring executives and VIPs around.

Mild Addiction: Vice has been a social drug user since he was 15. He quit completely while he was in the army, but relapsed completely while working in the non-stop party of the Miami underworld.
Mild Addiction: Vice is fighting a stalemated battle to overcome his sex addiction. He’s far less out of control than he used to be, but that’s just because he spends a lot more time working.
Standard SINner: As a legitimate citizen of the CAS, born in a corporate hospital and raised by corporate employees, Riley Travis was issued a SIN at birth. His SIN was destroyed in Crash 2.0, and replaced by the CAS because he was on active duty at the time.

High Lifestyle, 1 month
-Vice lives in an apartment on the 46th floor of a skyscraper in Central Hong Kong
Comforts (4BP): The furniture is high end, and neo-minimalist. The walls are covered with hand-made reproductions of famous ancient Chinese pieces. The building has a cleaning staff that comes around once a week. The rest of the housework is handled by drones, maintained by the building staff.
Entertainment (4BP): The building’s concierge staff has a block of standing reservations at all the popular night spots, restaurants, and stadiums in Hong Kong.
Necessities (4BP): Vice lives in a 287 m2 apartment, with vaulted 5 meter ceilings, floor to ceiling windows looking south at Victoria Peak (he doesn’t know about the prestige of having a harbor view), 2 guest bedrooms (one converted to a home gym), 3 and a half baths, two reserved spots in the underground parking garage, and his measurements on file at several clothiers in the trendy part of Wanchau-Causeway.
Neighborhood (4BP): The building is located right in downtown Hong Kong. It has an extensive fitness center, two restaurants exclusively for tenants and guests, an indoor pool, and a rooftop garden.
Security (4BP): The building’s matrix host is well secured and monitored constantly. It has an onsite security staff, mostly to deal with unruly guests of residents, and maintains its’ own contract with Knight Errant, independent of the city’s. His neighbors are reasonably sure he’s a career criminal, but, as is the way in Hong Kong, would never be rude enough to tell anyone.

Vincent Cocetti - Fixer (L:3/C:2)
Vinnie C grew up in the San Fernando Valley, surrounded by wiseguys. After going to college and business school, he got into the “olive oil� business rather than the corporate world. As a mob finance man, he was able to avoid the hail of gunfire when the don went to war with a yakuza clan. When his capo and don were slain, Cocetti expanded his operations beyond organized crime staples and expanded into contract corporate espionage. When he got sick of LA, he moved to Hong Kong. After several productive years, an old acquaintance who’d gone into the mercenary business put him in touch with a former company man looking for work in the Free Enterprise Zone, and he’s handled Vice’s shadow career ever since.

Mai Li - Executive Personal Assistant (L:2/C:2)
Mai Li grew up a corporate brat in a nice, quiet part of Bellevue. While she was in high school, she and her friends began sneaking over the wall into Redmond to experience the “ork culture� glorified in the orxploitation movement firsthand. In college, she got an internship with a startup record label called Rhymin’ and Stealin’ Records. The VP of marketing offered her a job as his personal assistant when he discovered she had grown up on the fringes of the world that the company was selling albums about. Now, she offers her perspective on artists, picks up his dry cleaning, keeps track of all the meetings on his calendar, and drives his daughters to ballet lessons. Mai met Travis jogging in a Renton park while he was in Seattle to extract someone. She quickly figured out what he does, and after spending all day working with studio thugs, loves the giddy thrill of associating with a real criminal when he’s in town.

Hokato Ota - Fixer (L:2/C:2)
Ota grew up in the slums of Osaka and fell in with a “starved wolf� gang. Eventually, he caught the eye of the Snakeheads in charge, who saw the advantage of having a native Japanese member in their operation in the port city. Over time, the smugglers moved him to their Neo-Tokyo operation, to handle arranging bribes to the more racist officials who wouldn’t deal with an outsider. The gang specializes in kidnapping young girls from mainland China and Vietnam and smuggling them into Neo-Tokyo to fill the bunraku parlors and hostess clubs, and smuggling weapons and munitions back into the warzone to fuel the ongoing conflicts. The gang is also the JIS end of a pipeline that smuggles opiates into ultra-conservative Neo-Tokyo. Vice and Ota met when he was in Vietnam working for PSS, a Macao based mercenary company that the Snakeheads’ opium growers had hired to protect their processing sites.
