SILK, INFOBROKER, CONNECTION 6 Name & Principle Alias Susanna Waters "Silk" Ethnicity & Metatype Caucasian Changeling (Fey Touched) DOB 2048 Sex Female Height Average Build Average Nationality UCAS Description: Silk is a former runner who inherited an information gathering network previously run and managed by a French fixer called Argent. Argent’s precipitous return to Europe after the death of her husband left the readymade intelligence operation up for grabs and Silk’s gift for seeing patterns and recognizing trends made her an obvious choice to pick it up. The accuracy of Silk’s information and the discretion she learnt from her days as a runner has preserved the trusts that Argent worked so long to establish and Silk is now an up and coming force to be reckoned with in the Seattle shadows.   Upcoming infobroker and fixer heh? That’s what they’re calling me? The spider? Well I guess I can live with that too. So JackPoint wants to know a bit more about me? Well I’ve got the greatest respect for what you all do so let me tell you a story… You can call me Silk, although my real name was, is Susanna, or Ana for short. My life was going well all things considered, I’d dipped my toes into the shadows but I had a ‘real’ life too, university, a prospective career path, then it all went to ****... but, I’m getting ahead of myself, so I should start with what I look like? I’m of moderate height, sleight build with light coloured hair and dark eyes. They tell me I’m a changeling and, like my sisters, I share some superficial traits with my orcish parents; the physical signs are slightly pointed ears and sharpened lower canines that any real orc would be ashamed of. Like my Mum I had a late genetic expression and look and feel human (whatever that means these days?). Whether because of my late expression or for some other reason I don’t appear to age in the same way that an orc would so although I’m in my mid-twenties I haven’t yet seen the unfortunate decline that some orcs go through about now… I think it’s the eyes that people latch on to though and make me stand out from an otherwise human looking orc. You can’t see the horns, but they are there let me assure you, so yes, a changeling…no I’m not going to say any more. And who or what am I? Well like everyone else I’m a product of my background and upbringing but in short I suppose I can say I’m a part time runner now, but mostly, thanks to a timely inheritance, a shadow infobroker. They have told me I’m an Artisan Adept, but I’ve since realised that my Gift runs far deeper than that academic classification. It sounds slightly melodramatic when put into words but I see patterns in things, possibly even the Pattern, the weft and the warp of the universe. To a minor degree I can predict what is going to happen and react accordingly, even influence the patterns in ways that shouldn’t normally be possible. Hopefully I can use that to keep myself alive long enough to find the truth... As I said I’m a third gen runner and have been around runners from birth, although Mum tried to ensure I had as normal a life as possible and wasn’t too influenced by the shadows early on. Despite what the trids might have you believe I think that I probably turned out more balanced than most of the other street drek that populate the shadows. I’ll give you a potted history, it would take too long otherwise, I’ve had a busy life! When I was born my Dad was a runner, like Granddad (who probably died in some corp zero zone!), and Mum was working as a surveillance operative for the Feds. I don’t know much of the background of how they met, and it’s too late to ask now, but whilst they supposedly loved each other, it was a Romeo and Juliet relationship doomed by the divide between the shadows and the light. I’ve still got a holo of my Dad, he was a handsome orc from Europe and I now know he’s back on the scene (although he’s rebuffed my invitations to meet)… I don’t remember him really, just fragments I’ve got from pictures. He left when I was five or so, mum said he wanted to protect us from his life... The irony is that mum became a runner herself when I was ten after some disagreement with the Bureau that meant she felt she could no longer work for them. She wouldn’t talk about it with me but I overheard things (being a quiet child that nobody notices had its advantages) and I gather that it was something pretty horrendous...probably something that the FBI as the ’good guys’ shouldn’t have been involved in. I was yanked out of school, we ditched our SINs and disappeared. I guess mum had been prepared for this as we had fake documents and some liberated kit to hand. Rather than settling into a new dull life elsewhere mum began to work the edges of the shadows to make ends meet and to dig the dirt on whatever it was that sent us into hiding in the first place. For me I was young enough that this was a big adventure...although I missed my friends I was able to sneak contact with them through the matrix. I was tech savvy enough already to hide my back trail (I was more worried about mum finding out than the possible repercussions from darker sources) and so thankfully nothing came of my childish indiscretion. It was also about this time that I began to see the beauty of the code itself and my love affair with the matrix was born and has never left me. My education became what mum could get from pirated edusofts but more and more what I discovered for myself. Running and hiding coupled with the glory of the net have shaped me and shaped my magic in fundamental ways, whether it would have developed this way if we’d stayed safe in Seattle is anyone’s guess! My awakening came with my expression and puberty and as everything was so confused I’ve never really distinguished between any of them. I began to remember everything I saw and have an intuitive grasp of how things fitted together. I saw the intricate patterns in the matrix and how these reflected and enhanced what I saw in life. I loved the feel of electronics in my hands, and as I was continually surrounded by the various bits of technological debris that were Mum’s trade I had plenty of opportunity to tinker. Anyway, back to my story: Mum took, or was given, the handle ‘Mother’ (although not because she was one), and teamed up with a number of people over the next few years. Never anyone for long, she was too principled to work with the majority of the dross that call themselves runners, and she was incapable of hiding her disgust which hardly made for good team mates. She worked as a rigger and in surveillance and counter surveillance. We bounced around for three to four years, living in an RV to avoid having a permanent and traceable address. We relied on the fake documents and smuggler routes to cross borders, although we stayed in the UCAS for the most part. I remember that mum worked in Boston and some of the other East Coast cities but eventually we drifted back west and found ourselves in Seattle once more. Mum wanted me back in school in preparation for the future and she said that her issues with the Feds had blown over and were no longer relevant (I still don’t know if she managed to dig up sufficient leverage or if the people involved simply disappeared). With some judicious editing of the data trail I went back to being Susanna Waters and was enrolled in school after an ‘extended period abroad’. It was a bit of a jolt to be immersed in normality after so long away but mum convinced me that the social skills were as necessary as the technical ones and that I needed a taste of high school (gods help us all!). I was different and I knew it, and they bloody well made sure I knew it, but it was a proving ground and looking back I was glad of the experience even if it was shitty at the time. Another effect was to isolate me from mum’s continuing shadow work...and this was probably the real intention as I know that she didn’t want me to follow in her footsteps. Mum met Bale on a trip to the UK (I travelled on a separate commercial flight) and she had finally found a runner that lived up to her expectations. As a former Special Ops and combat mage he exhibited a truly British display of honour, respect and good manners. A lot was put on for other people’s benefit, and he had a wicked sense of dry humour, but they clicked. They spent two years putting together a team that suited them and Balefire was born. I gather that they were able to pick and choose their runs, because of both their professionalism and skill set. I would have given anything at the time to be more involved but mum was having none of it...she already felt that I knew too much about what they did. Escapade fulfilled the role that I used to fantasise about doing, covert op and B&E man, and Aria covered the matrix aspects of their work. Although mum disapproved I became friends with Aria and we frequently met up in the matrix... Funny to think that we’ve never met in the flesh despite her being the closest thing to a sister I could hope for. That’s a statement on the world if there ever was one! My innate aptitude for tech meant that when the time came Mum insisted that I get a proper college education and as I had a valid SIN once more it was an opportunity to push myself and get an interview at Harvard to study applied matrix technologies and electrical engineering. There was just the small matter of paying for it all! Balefire may have been a team capable of pulling in the high end jobs but they were choosy enough that they weren’t exactly rolling in nuyen. At mum’s behest Aria approached NeoNet indirectly and I guess she shunted my name up the lists that the head hunters browse through (but avoiding any false modesty I expect it was probably in there somewhere anyway, my grades were good and I have a knack that my fellow students can’t touch). Their PULSE subsidiary eventually agreed to sponsor my course and although there were some reservations about taking a corps’ money so blatantly we figured in the end that it could serve our purposes in a ‘hide in plain sight’ kind of way (Although mum was always excruciatingly careful that nothing could link her shadowrunning back to me or our family unit paranoia was inevitably a way of life to a certain degree). I can honestly say that I excelled at my studies and I’m not ashamed to say that I intend to use what I’ve been taught to further my goals in the shadows. It was hard being away from mum and missing out on the goings on in Seattle but this was another way of keeping me safe and giving me an opportunity to forge my own path without being influenced by the shadows. I pushed myself harder than my contemporaries because I love it. I soaked up all the knowledge they could give me and asked for more. I’m not saying it was easy, far from it, whilst I remember more or less everything I still need to be able to process all that information... I asked Aria to help me get some ‘ware (I knew mum would be unlikely to agree), something that wouldn’t damage my magic too much. She cautioned me that it might be considered an unfair advantage over my peers (my Gift already set me apart) but I didn’t care. In the end I won her round and she brought me back to Seattle to an off grid supplier where the ‘ware wouldn’t need to be recorded. We went to this weird Stillwater place on the far side of Redmond and they hooked me up. A spell in a bed and suddenly I was smarter than before and needed less sleep... Purists would probably say I could have achieved this with my natural magical talents but then I’ve never been afraid of tech and I felt better and stronger and even more in tune with my gift. Aria handled the payment side of things, although they were more interested in my coding than cash and I’ve been working to pay off the debt (since what happened that debt has changed somewhat...) And so I was back at uni, living the student life of parties contrasted with excessively hard study... …And then it all went bad when things seemed so perfect. August 2070, hard to believe it’s more than five years ago now; someone targeted Balefire for something they had done and mum was killed…I found her in a pool of her own cold blood…I’m sorry, it’s still painful to think about and my damn memory won’t let me forget any of the details… Who ordered the hit? I’ve known the ‘who’ now, for some six months, but not the ‘why’, much less the way to get to them and drag the answer out, I’ll get to that in a bit, it’s taken long enough to find out Escapade and Bale got caught up in it all and suddenly the people I would have turned to were gone. Aria tried to help me but for a while I rejected her unfailing cheeriness. I slowly slipped into a despondent state and began getting more and more behind on my college work. Concerned emails began coming in from my sponsors and I wasn’t able to tell them anything...how could I tell them my mother was a runner and she was gunned down in her own home whilst browsing the matrix? In the end we found another shooting and attached my mum’s details to it...something more prosaic to hide what really happened...I hated it but there’s no choice... They offered me counselling but I was afraid to go. I was hanging on by my fingernails and some corp shrink judging whether I was profitable or not would likely have sent me over the edge! I needed to get back on track, but whenever I thought about doing anything about it things seemed to get on top of me. Aria pulled me along and stopped me from sinking too low but I knew this was something I needed to deal with myself. The pain is less now and has being replaced with a burning desire to find out exactly what happened to my mum, to Balefire and most importantly why! I spent months snooping around trying to find leads, to no real avail, whoever it was covered their tracks too well but I knew that they had to be the same ones who hit Stillwater and that the events couldn’t be unconnected. This was my first real foray into the darker shadows… I came back to Seattle and began hooking up with mum’s old contacts and anyone who could teach me the skills I’d need to survive. I got a job in a coffee shop to give me a reason to stay over in Seattle and began doing a couple of solo shadow jobs to bolster my confidence and help pay for the information I needed. I should explain a bit more about Stillwater and what happened there…it makes what happened to me pale in comparison but was, at least back then, less personal for me despite being the source of my ‘ware. They were, are, a transhumanist group, a commune maybe. Big into mixing magic and tech and pushing the boundaries on both. Relatively harmless on the face of it until he decided it wasn’t. A group of specialist mercs were hired to assassinate the group’s council, the same bastards that killed mum.

HUNTER, HUMAN/CHANGELING DRUID, CONNECTION 5 Name & Principle Alias Gael Penthièvre ''Hunter'' Ethnicity & Metatype Changeling Born 2055 Sex Male Height Tall Build Athletic Nationality French Description: Gael Penthièvre "Hunter" was a wild and angry young man, not a great combination with prodigious magical potential. He was born into a family straddling a delicate line between French nobility and Celtic shamanism, the shadows and a more conventional SINer existence. His father was a shadowrunner, Ember, his mother was a shadow infobroker and fixer, Argent. He died in ‘72 and Argent gave her network over to Silk and returned to France with her children. Gael spent years honing his skills under an eclectic mix of tutors, preparing himself to return to Seattle and take up his father’s mantle… and then something happened that resulted in his expression as a changeling. He was exposed to a massive mana surge that awakened latent metagenes. When he did return to Seattle eventually it was as a very different individual, not only physically but mentally and even magically. Naturally gravitating back to his former home he hooked up with Silk and they became very close, eventually marrying each other on an extended adventure on another metaplane...   DATA Name & Principle Alias Gael Penthièvre ''Hunter'' Ethnicity & Metatype Changeling Born 2055 Sex Male Height Tall Build Athletic Nationality French Description Physically Hunter appears to be human, were it not for the fact that his skin is entirely golden, not simply sun bronzed but actually reflective, and his eyes are a deep gunmetal grey.

DARK HOPE, MONAD INFILTRATOR, CONNECTION 5 Description: Hope has been many incarnations, Sara Waters (mother and Federal surveillance operative), Mother (shadowrunner), Shrike (eGhost) and now Dark Hope (Monad, infiltrator, samurai). Of course most of that information isn't known as she bears the EVO SIN Olivia Gill, the dancer, accident victim and finally donor to EVO's Monad program. Then Hope had a difference of opinion about who should be pulling her strings and she, with the help of her daughter Silk and a runner team, escaped their clutches and is on the run somewhere in Seattle. Somehow news leaked out in to the shadow community that she was a CFD victim and that has made people understandably cautious to work with her but her skills have been honed for far longer than her apparent youth suggests and she has proven her worth working with two or three teams in Seattle.

CANNON, TECH DEALER, CONNECTION 5 Description: Cannon is a former runner who had the good fortune to inherit a business from a contact. The exact circumstances of that inheritance are unknown but he has provided the same level of service that was expected of the original owner, Bishop, and his clientele know the value of discretion, or they do if they wish to continue to have access to Cannon’s network. He displays his wares, a mixture of black market weaponry and tech, from the back of a semi that tours round Seattle, seemingly one step ahead of forces of law and order. It is more than likely that substantial remuneration takes place to keep it this way. He presents himself with the hammer-like demeanor of a drill sergeant and doesn’t suffer fools easily but will deal with anyone who has a suitable rep in the shadows. Preferred Runners: Discrete with funds to burn Uses: Weapons and tech Places to Meet: Back of his semi Contact: Commcode dead drop Available: At his convenience

TORRENT, INTERNATIONAL FIXER, CONNECTION 7 Description: Born human near Tintagel in the UK, Torrent was determined not to let such a provincial background limit his rise to power. Despite being a late victim of UGE in his early teens he pushed himself through the decaying UK education system and got a degree in Socio Economics. All the while he rigorously pursued power in the shadows as a quasi-runner face, gathering secrets, favours and influence in all circles of the UK. He came to Seattle in the fifties to expand his influence there and has subsequently formed ties in several runner hot spots around the world. He likes the finer things in life and surrounds himself with the best, both in material possessions and the people he works with. He also has a prodigious family, many of whom work with him to expand his influence wherever he goes. Preferred Runners: Successful ones Uses: Fixer services Places to Meet: Online or a wide variety of establishments throughout the world according to his latest interests Contact: Commcode Available: 24 hours a day

ARIA, MATRIX PHENOMENON, CONNECTION 8+ Description: Nobody seems to have much information on Aria, where she came from, who she is… her ‘little girl persona’ is a feature in the Seattle matrix and she pops up and meddles in the most unusual digital locations. She has occasionally alluded to having a ‘master’ which is a rare thing in the seventies and a term usually only used to refer to the dragons but she has never, as far as anyone knows, been identified out of the matrix and there are rumours that she is an AI despite a clear ability to manipulate Resonance energies Preferred Runners: Tolerant ones, her charming laugh and whimsical attitude has been known to grate Uses: Matrix intel Places to Meet: The Citadel Gaming Host, other matrix sites both shadowy and more mundane Contact: Commcode Available: When she feels like it

ARIA WATERS, CONNECTION 2 Description: Aria Waters is Silk's daughter, although given their official ages that seems unlikely to some. Aria and her brother Gwyn were born in House Laésal in Londinium in a metaplane with a different timescape than the real world, where Silk was trapped with her partner Hunter for the better part of two decades. When they finally returned to Seattle very little actual real time had passed. She was named for Silk's friend Aria, a shadowrunner from their past, although the two couldn't be more different. She is a changeling like her parents and younger brother Gwyn, in some ways more easily concealed; she appears to be a pretty young red headed girl in her mid teens with no unusual features, but in some ways more dramatic as when she employs any magic she manifests a set of dragonfly-like wings not unlike a pixie. Sadly those wings don't actually allow her to fly in the much calmer manasphere of the Sixth World. She appears to be quiet and serene, a product perhaps of the Victorian esque environment of her youth, however, she may look like a fairy but she has the burning soul of a bane shide. She walks a thin line of balance between darkness and light - her primal magical energies held in check by a genuine desire to be good, whatever that means. She and Gwyn pretty rapidly embraced the modern world, so very different from their youth. They are living the stories their parents fed them of the glass towers, corporate overlords and the runners darting through the shadows between it all. Silk, recognising their magical potential, drafted them (more or less willingly) in to the Patterners and they are the youngest members of the fledgingly order.

FLICKER, CHANGELING NEWBIE RUNNER, CONNECTION 2 Description: Flicker is a fiery creature, her temperament more than a match for her striking red hair and the phoenix tattoos that move across her golden skin. Her changeling nature shouts to the world and she makes no attempt to hide who or what she is. <Begin File Transfer – Decrypt Protocols Established> >Birth Name: Charlotte Waters >DOB: 10 October 2060 >Birth Place: Penzance, United Kingdom >SIN: British Flicker, as Charlotte is now calling herself, is one of Torrent’s many progeny. Like a surprising proportion of her father’s eight children she is fae touched, probably due to the Cornish wild magic that lashes the area around her family’s birthplace. Torrent, first as a runner and then as a major fixer, was largely absent in her upbringing and she, along with her siblings and half siblings, grew up with extended family in London. When she was eighteen her father asked her if she would like to help him in an experiment that could potentially have world shaking consequences. Desperate for his approval she agreed and joined a group of other adolescents in an ongoing VR simulation in a facility under Downtown Seattle. There she faced many trials that helped to forge her into the fierce young woman she is today. She was rescued from the simulation by a group of shadow runners and traumatised by the harrowing VR experiences she chose not to return to her father’s fold but forge her own path in Seattle.

THE CHOIR, CONNECTION 10 Membership: 10-99 (+1), Scope: Continental (+2), Finances: Extensive (+2), Magic: Initiates (+3), Matrix: Significant (+2) Description: The Choir are a weird mix of obscure magical initiatory group and technomancer cult, totalling, usually, thirteen in number. They are all seers of one form or another and have dedicated themselves (rightly or wrongly) to steering metahumanity on a path that their visions have revealed to them. When they can be persuaded to talk about that path or those visions they are usually full of dire warnings about an enemy coming too soon and finding a way to avoid that fate for as long as possible… On Friday March 19, 2077, during their equinox ritual, their gatherings in London, Marrakech and the matrix were systematically targeted by unknown foes and three of them perished as a result. Since then they have been in a running battle with unseen forces and have struggled to regroup and reassert their agenda. In response to the threat Silk formed the Patterners in late 2077, designed to be the militant arm of the group. Although she subsequently disappeared for some time her work continued and they have begun the hunt for their assailants… Current Seers > The Old One, human seer and master manipulator (it appears he is actually a dragon following the London attack) > Aria, elven matrix witch > Firefox, human matrix adept > Slate, dwarven hermetic > Desire, human seer (one of the Stillwater Collective) > Silk, changeling web spinner and founder of the Patterners > Hunter, changeling druid (Silk’s husband) > Summer, human technomantic oracle (her face may appear on the Queen of Batons tarot card) > The Child Seer, free spirit > Petal, free spirit (Dream’s former ally spirit) Former Seers > X (Deceased in London attack) > Vision (Deceased in London attack) > Phoenix (Deceased in Marrackech attack) > Dream (Infected) > Morrig, human druidess (possibly turned by Dream, her former pupil) Preferred Runners: Hooders Uses: Vague predictions of the future Places to Meet: Matrix, London Below Contact: They will know if you need them

THE PATTERNERS, CONNECTION 6 Membership: 10-99 (+1), Scope: Sprawl (+1), Finances: Limited (+1), Magic: Most (+2), Matrix: Limited (+1) Description: The Patterners are a result of Silk’s latest project. Not content with already being part of two initiatory groups she decided that it was time to start her own. After the attacks on The Choir she set about reclaiming the derelict Stillwater tower on the edge of Redmond, repurposing it to serve as a hidden training centre for her new group. Only then did she cast her net wide to pick up likely candidates who see magic, or could be shown how to see magic, in a similar way to herself. Although they are still few in number Silk intends to forge a militant arm of the Choir who proactively seek to impose their vision of the future. They have modelled themselves, partly in jest, on the Jedi Order from those old flatvids… Patterners > Lace, human Voice, Silk’s protégé > Cotton, human former treasure hunter > Leather, human transhumanist freak > Loom, troll ascetic > Linen, human mysad > Wool, elven social adept > Weaver, dwarf matrix adept > Warp and Weft, twin elf adepts > Yarn, human warrior adept > Singer, orc former rocker > Hemp, giant scout > Slipstitch, human gunslinger adept Apprentices > Needle, human adept > Satin, changeling dancer, Silk’s daughter > Hide, changeling Whisperer, Silk’s son Uses: Future knowledge Places to Meet: On the matrix for the moment although that will change!

TOYMAKER, TROLL ENCHANTER & TECH ADEPT, CONNECTION 5 Description: The Toymaker is a reclusive and enigmatic figure who lives alone in a lodge on the southern slopes of the Cougar Mountain wildlife area. He straddles the technological and the magical realms in a way few others do and many people assume he is a Chaos mage, but his work shows an exquisite attention to detail and craftsmanship that reference far older traditions. Unless you are expected there is little chance you’ll see him in person, he has surrounded himself in an army of his own creations, and some of the more lifelike drones engage with visitors rather than allowing anyone to disturb his peace. For the culmination of a project however he always insists on the prospective owner being present for the final alignments. Preferred Runners: Ones that don’t want to disturb his solitude Uses: Foci, alchemical preparations or exquisite drones and tech Places to Meet: His lodge, he rarely leaves Contact: Commcode Available: He will usually only meet people in the early evening

KIT & KAT, ELVEN COURIERS, CONNECTION 4 Description: A rarity, elven twins, they run packages and information from Tarislar to the Elven District downtown on their twin Evo Revolution monowheels for the rougher parts of the route and then transferring to Kat's pride and joy, a vintage 2050s Westwind 2000…consequently they are an excellent source of information on the current goings on along their route. When not working as couriers Kat is a profficient cat burgler and infiltration specialist whilst her brother compliments her in the wheelman role to whisk her (or others) away at the end of a job. There were rumours of a certain amount of dubious GOTs in their personal relationship and relationship with others but they've also been seen around less and less as their attention has been elsewhere and rumours have subsided as watchers have been tempted away by more current salacious gossip.

BLACK STEEL, FORMER FIREWATCH, CONNECTION 4 Description: Dominic Synd, like all his family, were loyal Ares citizens, dedicated to the Gun mentality. He was never going to be an exec but he excelled at the physical aspects of corp life and, like his big brother Daniel before him, he made straight for military training as soon as they would have him. His Talent and family connections put him on a quick fire path to the elite Firewatch training programme and he ended up on the frontline against the bugs in numerous engagements as a rifleman. The crash of '64 saw Daniel disappear in to the shadows and Dominic, still loyal at the time, set off to bring him back. The next few years were enlightening and he saw corp life from the other side of the divide and decided that his loyalties would be better employed elsewhere.

SINGER, CONNECTION 5 Description: Singer, or Gareth as he was named and Clockwork Fury as he styled himself as a rocker, grew up in the Orc Underground. He lived through the worst of the refugee crisis from the Ache over their heads but it was CrimeTime's release of Djoto in '63, an album in Or'Zet, that profoundly shaped his life. Following in the footsteps of his idol he forged himself an identity as a rocker (in the Underground at least). Semi-celebrity had a price on him and by '75 he was burned out and washed up. He found that the drugs he took to quell the emptiness brought on some damn strange visions... and then he met Silk and things got even stranger!
