An LA native who was seemingly orphaned during the Twins. Andrew Jensen was taken in by the Horizon Group following the disaster and disappearance of his father, Michael. As grateful as he was to his new hosts, Andrew often questioned the company's reasons for taking him in. Not to mention his unorthodox education. Alongside a more traditional curriculum, he was strenuously trained in computer programming and strongly encouraged to focus on athletics. It eventually came to light that his mistrust was well founded. With the help of Jenny Greenteeth, a free sprite who had once aided his father, he discovered Horizon's plans for him.

The company intended to subtly manipulate his education and life overall, with the eventual goal of creating a shadowrunner loyal to the Horizon Group. Furthermore, his activities were to be secretly filmed for a P2.0 show, with the purpose of forcing Michael out of hiding. Andrew had never believed his parent, a former otaku and shadowrunner, was truly dead. But these plans confirmed Michael was alive. Andrew decided to hide his knowledge of the company's plans and continue his education. He does want to become a shadowrunner, but on his own terms. His father was out there, and Andrew was going to find him.

Angelo was Michael's runner name. He hopes that using it will attract the attention of someone who knows of his parent's whereabouts. Despite not being a technomancer himself, sprites and AI seem drawn to Andrew. Their ability to transfer messages without the company noticing has proven invaluable.

Flo is a dryad, born of an Evo eugenics project intended to breed the Awakened. Though the project was unsuccessful, it did produce a number of mages and adepts. Eventually. Before her Awakening, Flo was regarded (or rather, disregarded) as a failed test subject. She developed something of an inferiority complex as a result, and for a time, she was motivated by a need to prove the potency of her skills. But the girl came to realize this didn't make her happy. And that she had been misusing her abilities as a simple tool for personal gain.

Her magic deserved much more respect than that. How many people longed for power like hers, but would never have it? Flo has continued to develop her abilities, but not for the sake of Evo. She believes that on the Matrix, under the name Nightshade, she can find a purpose for her skills that isn’t related to the company agenda. With LeFey and Angelo at her side, she will not be alone in that search.

Over the past few months, Flo has become attuned to Seattle, and she has the feeling something is wrong with her home. She just doesn't know what.

Basically, to sum things up, Morgan, Andrew and Flo form a trio of disillusioned corp kids, a little more inspired by the main characters of Harry Potter than I originally intended. nyahnyah.gif

"E.T." (Fixer, Bartender)
In his own words, "A freaky, fabulous Formori fixer from out of this world!" E.T. owns the Bad Guy Bar, a send up of runner hangouts in the media. The nightclub is purposely designed to resemble the aftermath of a particularly vicious fight and the staff wouldn't look out of place in an action trid. Moreover, worker policy requires the bouncers to admit almost anyone who offers them a bribe. The Bad Guy Bar attracts patrons of all kinds, but there is an good way to tell a slumming SINner from someone with actual ties to the shadows. The former come for the theme, and the latter for the services of E.T.

The fixer himself is an enigma (no one has been able to determine what the initials stand for, though there is a betting pool on the answer). He arrived in Seattle five years ago to set up shop, and has been a fixture ever since. E.T.'s flamboyant appearance has led some to underestimate him, but not wisely. The Formori is a dangerous fighter, not to mention well connected. His signature drink is the Panic, a cocktail based on the alcohol "brewed" by wild satyrs. There are rumors the fixer was human until the wake of Halley's Comet caused him to goblinize, but those have not been confirmed.

Hun Sen – human male
C3 L1
“Fixer”/dockworker - His connection rating is only 3 - rather low for a fixer - because besides working on the docks he is nothing more than sort of the fixer for the local Khmer community in the International District - pretty small potatoes. He mostly just gets to be a community leader in exchange for arranging fake SINs (for people like Al), getting SINless people (like Al) off-the-books work at the shadier docks, and getting people (like Al) crappy squats in his crappy building. Besides interpreting for him a lot (Hun speaks only Khmer), Al fixes his car, and they usually ride together down to the docks to work (although as non-union, their hours are very irregular). But he doesn't really like Al, finding him presumptuous, tasteless, and loud.
Hun always wears a white shirt and tie, even working on the docks. He is constantly reading self-help, get-rich-quick books on the image link of his contacts. He still believes the American dream is possible, and he is determined to live it. He won’t use a chip to speak English because he knows if he does, he’ll never learn it properly.
He resists paying protection to the dockyard mobsters, and they are none too happy with him.

Mordecai Sparks - human male
C1 L1
Bartender - Regular night barkeep at Humpty’s Dump, little more than a plastic-siding shack serving liquor to off-the-books dockworkers on a dilapidated, mostly abandoned pier at the fringe of the more properly industrialized port terminal. Al simply knows him from frequenting the place after (or before, or during) every shift. Gets free beers for ejecting troublemakers.
He is very tall, with gray muttonchop sideburns crawling down his face from a thin head of salt-and-pepper hair. He is missing more than one tooth in the front, and who knows how many in the back. A good Southern boy who hit the Emerald City back in ‘56 as a roadie for some no-name opening act. Band had folded and he had stayed.
