Felice is an attractive young woman in her mid-twenties. She is of latin-american origin, clearly visible with her lightly tanned skin, brown eyes and shoulder-long, raven-black hair, which she usually wears open with a few strands framing her pretty face, or bound back in a pony tail or a single braid. A little below average height (1.68m or 5ft.6in.), Felice has a slender figure and an athletic physique. Her prefered clothing is either black leather or white cloth, depending on the occasion; usually form-flattering and her casual wear is sometimes quite revealing as well.

She has been active in the Denver sprawl a while ago, quite successful in the shadow scene, specializing in firearms, and recently turned up in the City of Angels. The scanners on the door showed (to those with access) that she is cybered-up from top to bottom, all the body-fitted, more expensive stuff (i.e. alphaware), not from the street doc on the corner. None of the wares are obvious, though her nimble moves and lightning-fast reactions are a slight give-away. She came in armed as well, but only a pistol, licensed. Other than that, her license registered her as Rachel Ramirez, a freelance escort with a security background, also up for light bodyguard duties, usually in combination.

On her first night in the club, she apparantly had some catching up to do, and ended up drinking a bit too much, while playing a few rounds of poker. Needless to say, she lost; she has never been good at the game. The guys liked her around, however, and were 'nice' enough to give her a chance to win back the money and let her up the ante in a different way. In the end, she ended up on the amateur stage. Well, at least noone could complain that she wasn't good for her word, in fact there was very little complaining, and even though she was clearly not a professional, her slightly tipsy performance earned her quite some cheers and bawdy hooting. So far, she has refused the offers to get up there again, but doesn't seem bashful about it either; the incident definitely has been a success in terms of advertisement, and she had no trouble finding the occasional acceptable client for her line of work, enough to pay for the rent of her small appartement at least.

DD – Hacker/Secondary Face

Street Alias: "DD"
Fake SIN Name: Desirée DeMoins
Real Name: Debora Carter
Age: 20
Origin: Lousiana, CAS
Nationality: CAS
Metatype: Human (Caucasian)
Sex: Female
Location: L.A.
Height: 1.75 meters
Weight: 60 kg
Hair: Color changes depending on latest fad
Eyes: Color changes depending on latest fad
Lifestyle: As hip as she can afford

Character:
DD has a need to feel popular and wanted. She's usually projecting a confident front, but not as secure of herself as she would like to be, and unconsciously craves praise. "Style over Substance" is a weakness of hers, she's prone to judge people by appearance. She's not the confrontational type (although can appear so), and easily follows orders as long as she feels appreciated.
While she's not a pacifist, she's not a cold-blooded killer either, but capable to rationalise killing, especially if in self-defense, or as vengeance. She's very keen on paying her debts, both in money and favors, and therefore loyal to people who did not con her (or don't get caught doing it). DD is not naive or innocent, but even after her time in New Orleans she’s not as hardened as other runners.
She’s a bit queasy when it comes to magic, despite magic being „hip“ in the entertainment sector.

Motivation for running the Shadows:
DD came to L.A.'s sprawl, wanting to make her big break in L.A.'s showbusiness - and thinks shadowrunning is the fastest way to stardom, or at least to get the contacts and the P2.0 ratings needed in the industry.
DD grew up on trideo, sims, and lately the new live feeds from runs, so she got some idea about L.A.'s scene, or "beat", before heading there. She had done some shadow work in New Orleans already, but that was often minor stuff (courier stuff, some „find out what he knows through pillow talk“, hacking a commlink left on the nightstand or an isolated home computer, and similar stuff).
Her first shot at getting "real runner work" fell through, sort of ("Sink, Hollywood, Sink" ended prematurely), so she fell back to minor matrix and other jobs to keep afloat.

Description:
While originally of average appearance, DD has had extensive cosmetic surgery and now looks striking - if one finds the clichee "human movie starlet" build and face attractive. She changes her hair color often, and plans to use a disguise (goggles) and distinctive haircolor (green) on runs.

History:
DD grew up in Loisiana in a middle class family. Her mother was a creole, her father was a texan. Both parents are still alive, as is her brother, currently serving as a marine in the Navy. Her parents work for a local corporation in middle management/personal ressources.
Of average height and looks, DD failed to make the cheerleader squad in her high school years. She compensated by moving to the local computer/hacker scene, in an attempt to "be the most popular in a niche instead of a wallflower in the mainstream", with so-so success. She did pick up her hacking skills there, aided by an interest in the net since she was little. Once she was out of high school, she was supposed to go to college. Instead she raided her college fund's first year payment, faking her mother's access code, and ran away to buy some cosmetic surgery, implants, a new identity and a ticket to L.A. Of course, she had not enough money to pay for all that, so she got the cosmetic surgery and some implants first, then worked as a callgirl in New Orleans to pay for the rest, and brushing up on her skills, before finally making it to L.A.
She picked the name of her new SIN from a french-canadian SimSense Starlet from the 2050s named “Desirée Desire�.

Notes:
The Mafia contact may be a bit high-powered, but he’s in New Orleans, and he’s not that loyal – DD’s leash is simply a bit longer than those of his other employees, but the mob still has its hooks in her.

Skills I kept at 3 or lower (with the exception of hacking), though cyberware compensates somewhat. DD is starting out.

Armor is dependent on the situation, ranging from none or Leather Jacket (2/2) to “Second Skin� (4/1) (for meetings and such, to make an impression) to Urban Explorer Jumpsuit (6/6) (for runs where people shoot at her).

Role:
DD can serve two roles, although won’t probably excell in any. I built her with the L.A. setting in mind, especially the P2.0 scene and their runner (reality) shows, hence her motivation, gear, and fashion sense.
She should be able to hack and run matrix cover decently, though she’s no specialist. She can also act as a secondary face, with her etiquette and social skills.
In a combat she’s not that effective, lacking IPs and skills.

I uploaded some renders of DD, with “civilian clubbing clothes�, “L.A. runner meeting clothes� (second skin outfit) and “Run Clothes� (Jumpsuit):

Lifestyle: Middle class (5000, consider it spoofed though)
DD is currently living in a furnished apartment made for corp employees who stay in Seattle for work too long to live in a hotel, and not long enough to move to an apartment of their own. The neighbors are therefore often changing. Her bills are "paid" by a fictive corp (spoofed lifestyle). Her current fictional cover corp "TrendSet Inc." officially lists her as a "lifestyle consultant", with some semi-buried hints that this is just a cover for her being a corp-employed escort, in case someone takes a closer look at her living arangements and schedules. The apartment is completely average in all regards, although DD installed some custom AR mods to its node.

Emanuel Baglista (New Orleans Mafia Lt., Connection 4, Loyality 2)
Emanuel runs the escort service DD worked for during her time in New Orleans. He also provided her with some of her implants, and set up the loans she took to pay for them (Mostly part of his regular work for his other girls).
Emanuel is a “businessman in a discrete family business�, as he calls himself with some irony, and a member of the New Orleans Mob. While he is not above sampling his “stock� – and did so regularily with DD – he’s a Family member and profit comes before his personal desires. He has a slight fixation with cleaning – he can’t stand dirt or smells. He dresses in dark suits, with the only touch of color being a new tie each day. He’s 37 years old, 1.8 meters tall, and of average, muscular build. Good “human ressources� management skills.
DD did not really leave the mafia’s employment for good after paying her debts off, even if she may think so. For Emanuel, she simply became a long term (if a bit risky) investment – should she make it big in L.A., either as a runner, or a star, or both, then the Mob will have a better asset to use.

SelecTo (Matrix-Blogger, Connection 2, Loyality 1)
SelecTo is a blogger that specialises in spotting trends and commenting on them – from music to tech gadgets. DD met him first in the Net during her time at college, and for a time was an avid follower of his “Hot or Not� Blog. They never met in the flesh, and she doesn’t know anything other than his matrix persona about him.
SelecTo sees himself as a trendsetter, but his influence over his readers is vastly overstated in his mind – however, he knows a lot of what is going on in the scenes he watches, but is not privy to much in-depth information.

NetBazar (Hacker group, Connection 3, Loyality 1)
NetBazaar is a group of file- and program sharers. Not as big or capable as other similar groups, but enough for most hacker needs. They maintain a warez site, with floating server locations, and most members are from North America. Politically diverse, but with a slight anarchist streak.

Ochir Sacred Arrow (Connection 3, Loyality 2)
Ork Fixer in Seattle, was responsible for the "Phoenix Rising" job. Archery Adept, meets people in "Nyen Lang", a mogolian restaurant in Seattle.
