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-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: 5’11�
Weight: 206lbs (including bone lacing)
Eyes: Originally brown. Cybereyes are usually kept replicating his original eye color.
Hair: Shaved on the sides. Cornrows on the top and back. Perpetual 5 o’clock shadow
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. When the opportunity presents itself to indulge his cravings, he casts aside any concern other than doing so unless it’s going to potentially get him killed.

He lives well beyond his means, and works constantly to support his addictions. Driven by his incessant need for cash to throw into trying to fill the hole in his soul, he is totally unconcerned with the nature of the work he does, as long as it pays well.

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 attend the Knight Errant academy or the Ares Arms security force.

In an act of teenaged 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 and forceful personality made him an exemplary NCO. In 2066, he was honorably discharged as a staff sergeant with a bronze star for valor, and bronze star for meritorious service.

After his honorable discharge, he was contacted by a Saeder-Krupp Prime recruiter. Rather than go to work for a Knight Errant or Lone Star HTR or SWAT team, he went to work for Saeder Krupp Prime, and was assigned to the Miami office as a “problem solver�. He split his time between negotiating with the Miami shadow community and shooting them. After a year, he was a man respected and feared in equal measures.

Then, 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 drug use, 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 with the group before moving on. One of the group’s members put him in touch with a fixer in Hong Kong, and he set up shop there as a shadowrunner.

Voodoo looks nothing like a traditional runner. She is a short, slightly dumpy, pale skinned, freckly, plain-looking Elf. Her bright ginger dread-locks are usually tied back in a crude pony-tail, she wears a pastel-green jumpsuit with bold flower patterns stencilled on it in contrasting pastel browns. She travels almost everywhere on roller-blades and usually wears a dented pastel blue crash helmet. Her hi-tech shades are styled like old fashioned circular wire-frame spectacles and she humps a backpack full of enchanting paraphernalia with her almost everywhere.

She carries a hunting knife, a pistol and a rifle with her in the wilderness but she tries not to wander around cities without stashing the rifle somewhere safe. She is a little gun-shy and usually only packs stick'n'shock.

Politics:
Qua?

Morals:
Voodoo would never kill something she did not have to. Not from a sense of moral outrage at the act of murder but from a practical standpoint of wasted resources. It's difficult to un-kill someone when you suddenly discover that you need them. Of course the idea of geeking some CorpSec Guard just because he stands between you and some Nuyen is morally repugnant to Voodoo. That said, she wouldn't hesitate for a second to end someone that presented a clear mortal danger to the life of her or one of her allies. People that are trying to kill you have no rights.

Goals:
Voodoo plans to live indefinitely. It isn't some pipe dream to her. It is a clear, well formulated plan that she pursues with relentless and well organised diligence. She has a burning desire to learn stuff, to take the world apart, figure out how it all fits together and re-assemble it again. The way she sees it all you need is an unlimited supply of time....

History:

Jayne Evans was born Portland in 2041. An average student with a burning curiosity about how everything works and a tenacious, relentless attitude to learning. Raised on her older brothers tall tales about Immortal Elves she decided at a very young age that there was nothing she could not do as she would have the rest of time to learn how.

Being a Mundane in an awakened family she devoted her studies to mundane scientific matters. She could not compete with her older brother and parent's mystical knowledge so she chose to compete with them by excelling in her understanding of the mundane universe.

At some point during the Deus fiasco her brother disappeared and spurred on by this tragedy she elected to follow his footsteps to MIT&M. Here she spent three happy years reading Physics and Nanotechnology before the Second Crash hit.

During this time she gradually fell in with a Group of Meta spell-slingers and hackers known as 'The Enrolled.' A group of skilled hackers they use their skills to devote their lives to learning by staying in college, where it's safe, perpetually.

Jayne encountered The Enrolled in her third year at MIT&M. She did not know it at the time but she was about to experience a late awakening and had been nominated by an existing member, her missing brother.

Befriended by minor members and carefully assensed by senior mages she was approached on the eve of the impending Crash. Divinition had warned the Group that something big was coming and they were concerned that the psychic impact of the catastrophe would break her mind. After agreeing to join and being informed of the upcoming crisis she was sedated and taken into hiding.

She has a bittersweet relationship with her brother. To have him returned to her and in the same instant have him refuse to warn the world of the disaster that would claim their parents lives has driven them apart emotionally.

Intellectually she understands that The Enrolled did all they could to mitigate the impact of the Crash but knows they only acted to preserve their precious Universities. Had they're way of life not been at risk they would have done nothing.

At any rate it was the perfect opportunity for Jayne to vanish from the system and learn to master her new abilities. This she has done with her usual relentless logic. Having found a path that suited her understanding of the world she has pursued her studies with an eye towards being the best mage someone of her limited talents can be.

Realising that the biggest single challenge that a mage faces is drain, she first learned to cast spells that improve her own abilities to overcome it. Every spell she has learned is deliberately selected to make her better at working magic. She only knows two utility spells, heal and stunbolt, which she has learned for self defence now that she has left MIT.

Rather than focus on becoming a better spell-caster she has concentrated on becoming a better Summoner. She reasons that she will always be able to summon spirits that are better spell-casters than she is. She has even gone so far as to enter into a Formula Pact with a Free Spirit she met in her journey across America. Her doubts about the isolationist policy of The Enrolled have led her to take a Sabbatical now that she feels that she can survive in the outside world. She has travelled alone and on foot across the entire continent seeking meaning and direction.

Geraldine MacBeath is in her 60's. One of the many, post Crash2.0 Sinnless, her DOB is a mystery and she ain't talkin'.

A mother and a grandmother who lived her whole life in a backwater village in what she still describes as rural Caledonia. She has never known any career other than that of a housewife and had never committed a crime until the Crash. The last thing she remembers is playing some sort of new-fangled Matrix game with a group of the we'ans before waking up in a research facility two years ago. The runners who 'rescued' her were looking to collect the bounty on TM's from Transys but became so enthralled by Geraldine, who they dubbed 'Mrs Doubtfire', that they arranged for her to disappear to Hong Kong.

One should not be fooled, however. Beneath the exterior charm, the 'have a cup of tea and a scone' Scottish Granny act, beats a heart of stone. Cross her or threaten her 'family' and you'll be 'up to your neck in a peat-bog' before you can say Milngavie. Scottish women of a certain age, a bit like the Mafia, just not as nice....

With her entire life lost to her she makes a living as a Taxi-driver. Rumour at the depot has it that she got in a cab at the airport and talked the driver to death and just kept the cab. She loves people and stories and is friendly to the point of madness. If a sentence begins 'Here's our Hamish when he was two' it is time to turn off your commlink and flee. Since becoming a resident at the Whampoa Data Haven she has made more and more income from the shadows and has just graduated to starting a 'Tour Bus' company whose thin veneer of legality has permitted her to purchase and fit out a vehicle ideal for supporting shadow operations.

A pious woman, she is convinced that the world is full of evil, wicked people who need a stern talking to. She may not be far wrong but for four decades she lacked the ability to do anything about it other than raise her own children properly. Now God has given her the 'sight' and a purpose in life and she intends to use these gifts to set things right.

In the beginning she had grave doubts about her new abilities and whether they were a gift from God or a temptation sent by the devil to corrupt her. She reasonably had many of the fears others have about Technomancers, more so than most as she was one herself. As her talents grew she discovered her talent for calling Sprites from the Resonance and in particular she was fascinated by Tutor Sprites. These entities were capable of tapping the vast stores of knowledge encoded in the Matrix by humanity, accessing and synthesising it in ways that only a creature of the Resonance ever could. Determined to get to the truth about the nature of the Resonance, the Matrix and how this all related to her personal spiritual and moral beliefs she elected to find the answers to her questions in the Resonance itself.

She prepared herself as best she could and reached further down into the Resonance than she had ever previously dared. She called forth a Tutor Sprite of truly enormous power, one that would surely be able to answer her questions and set her heart and mind at rest regarding the morality of her gifts.

She had reached too far, however, and the strain tore at her mind and broke her fragile body like a twig. As she lay bleeding and dying the being she had called forth, seeing a purpose in the intent of her Compiling, took it's destiny into it's own hands and elected to become Free. Immediately absorbing the Registered Machine Sprite Gerry had on hand in case of emergency it took pity on her and breathed on the faint tenacious spark of life in her before it sputtered and died.

A Keeper and a Seeker of knowledge, Kemuel, as the Free Sprite named itself, is on good terms with it's creator and lends it's power and knowledge to her as she helps it to grow and learn, to explore it's infinite potential.

Gerry, for her part, is in awe of the being she helped to bring forth from the Resonance. He is everything to her, companion, parent, lover, child. Much of her drive is now devoted to helping her friend. She has built a powerful Cluster within the Whampoa Data Haven for him to use as a sanctuary. She also regularly brings forth and integrates new facets of his mind. Although technically she is registering individual Sprites and allowing him to absorb them, they have come to the conclusion that the being that he is evolving into already exists, in potentia, in the Resonance but is so large and powerful it cannot be called forth whole into the Matrix but must be assembled in small manageable chunks.


Keenly aware of her own mortality, she is cautious of wasting any of the time she might have left to do good here on Earth and does not wish to send anyone to see the 'big-man' until they have had the opportunity to repent.
