He had recources on hand to bunker down with other Genivese family and allies in his estate while havens got established. He made an informal deal with the Captain Ravenheart where the Mafia would get a section of the Dome and resources to sustain a dozen men. In exchange, Luci agreed to defend the Dome if it was attacked by bugs or raiders. He will honor the agreement unless it is highly unprofitable or suicidal. Sid got Luci to a Mafia Doc after a run went bad a number of years ago. Though it was Sid's job, Luci was really thankful to be alive and they have been close friends ever since.

Background[ Spoiler ]
1) Name, Sex, Race, Date & Place of Birth?
Sid "The Squid" G.
Male
Dwarf
Summer of 2025
Chicago General Hospital
2) Where's your character from?
Chicago, born and raised since '25. Sid has taken a few trips here and there across North America when he finds the time and nuyen, but he always finds himself coming back to Chicago. He's of the opinion that the Windy City is the greatest place on earth, maybe even with the bugs.
3) Does your character have a family?
Sid is a good friend of "the" family. The Genivese family has done more for him than his actual family considering they abandoned him shortly after birth. Not that this was a particularly rare event, metahuman newborns being left at hospitals was hot news in 2025.
4) Does your character have an ethnic background?
While not his ethnic heritage by birth, Sid has adopted many of the Italian mannerisms of his Mafioso compatriots after working with them for a decade. This also helps explain why a dwarf rigger is walking around in a suit that would put many boardroom types to shame.
SKILLS, ATTRIBUTES, AND RESOUCES
5) Where did your character learn their Skills?
Mafia work. Sid started as a simple driver getting goon "A" to leg-breaking "B" and then to Mafia doc "C", quick, if he needs any slugs removed from him. After saving enough goons with quick driving and thinking, the Mafia fronted the money for Sid's VCR in exchange for what they described as a "favor". Turns out, the favor was working exclusively for Genivese family as a rigger.
From time to time, the Genivese needed a security rigger for important meetings, that dwarf rigger who was always hanging around was a natural choice. More cyber, more responsibilities to the Genivese family. Sid eventually branched-out into drone technology with Genivese backing. They seemed really interested in a single person being able to control multiple assault drones via IVIS, something about force multiplication. Sid's contacts with the Genivese family are good enough that he is their "go-to" rigger, and the fact that they don't have to pay him anywhere near the value for his skills doesn't hurt.
6) Where does your character live?
Chicago, currently living with a half-dozen Genivese family/associates in the Wrigley Dome. Captain Ravenheart is well aware that a Mafia family is residing within her Dome, and she tolerates them, informally, because their presence bolsters the Dome's defensive capacity against attacks from insects and raiders. The members of the family have taken-up arms smuggling and prostitution rackets to make money and survive in the CZ, but Sid never sees the front-end of the deal and is only called for important jobs. While criminals to the core, the Genivese realize they have a pretty good thing going, relatively, and are taking real care not to “shit where they live.� They will only conduct deals at the Dome if no other alternative exists.
7) Who are your character's contacts?
Lvl 1 Stevie "Brock" Genivese "Cybered-up Enforcer" Mafia Soldier
Lvl 1 Tony "Doublejack" "Mafia Cybersecurity" Mafia Decker / Databroker
Lvl 2 Luci Genivese "Don inside the Dome" Mafia Block Captain
8 ) Who are your character's enemies?
Rival gangs, Yakuza, Lone Star, ghouls.
PERSONALITY
9) What are your character's likes and dislikes?
Likes: tailored suits, ground attack drones, chrome, electronics, jamming signals, un-jamming signals, wise guys, nuyen.
Dislikes: Yakuza, snitches, being shot at, elf magic-types, Lone Star
10) What is your character's moral code?
Mafia Code. Pay the boss his cut, kill snitches and live life grand while you can.
11) Does your character have goals?
Bigger Drones, Better Drones. Bioware & tailored, armored suits. Maybe run a Mafia Taxi company some day.
