Name Jitan Singh

Ethnicity & Metatype Indian Human

DOB 2032 Sex Male Height Short Build Thin
Nationality None

Description: Jitan has travelled the world for the last fifty years, from his native India, to China and Japan, Indonesia and beyond. In each country he dedicated himself to learning their martial arts and is a master in several and well versed in many more.

He takes in street kids, feeds them, and teaches them how to look after themselves (not just how to fight). He has a couple of other teachers working with him, notably Requiem, who specialises in the Firefight martial art.

Places to Meet: Silk Dragon Dojo, Touristville, Redmond
Contact: In person

REQUIEM, SAMURAI, WEAPONS SPECIALIST, CONNECTION 4
left-aligned image

Name & Principle Alias Daniel Synd “Requiem”

Ethnicity & Metatype Caucasian Elf

DOB 2022 Sex Male Height Tall Build Athletic
Nationality Ares

Description: You can call me Requiem. Although I’d never admit it to a potential client, with you I can freely say I’m damaged goods, fragged over by my superiors and the experiences they put me and my unit through. That’s not to say I’m not lethal, I’ve honed my edge since those days and I can be a vicious, cold bastard when I need to be, it’s just that I need to disassociate myself from it all, blank it out, become less human, something that doesn’t sit well with me or my ex-wife.

I started out as a good corporate citizen for the Man, in this case Ares, and it was clear from the outset that I was bright, athletic and Gifted enough for certain aspects of corporate life but that I didn’t have the right mental framework to make it as a functional wage slave. I was recruited to the security programme and after excelling at that was given the chance to join the Firewatch training school at the tender age of twenty three. Naturally I leapt at the chance to become one of Ares’ best and I strove to prove myself again and again during the rigorous training regime. To boost my talent I was scheduled to undergo one of the first move by wire implants. They knew it would compromise my magic but it was felt that it would be a significant asset and viable experiment and in those days I went along with what was asked of me with very few questions asked. Damn thing hasn’t been right since I no longer have access to the Ares cybertechs.

I wasn’t directly involved in the infamous creation of the Chicago containment zone in ’55 but as Ares responded to increasing pressure to clean up the mess our unit was deployed against at least six nests in the next three years, culminating in “Operation Extermination” in ’58. I will never forget the things I saw over those years and my dreams are still haunted by those images today. The doc says my fear of insects is understandable given the circumstances, although I think he’d prefer it without the overwhelming rage that fills me at the same time!

I won’t say that Ares weren’t good to those of us who were less able to cope with events. I saw a stream of shrinks and quacks in an effort to purge all my fear and self-loathing, all at the company’s expense. But it never seemed enough. I withdrew from the world and for a while became next to useless to myself and everyone around me. My wife was a psychiatric nurse that I met during my extended convalescence and plenty of people have told me it was a mistake to marry someone in those circumstances. But she did manage to pull me out of my despondent pit and help me sort my sorry life out. We lasted six years together which is no mean feat and I’m impressed she put up with me that long.

Once I was back on my feet Ares put me on the fledgling Firefight programme as an instructor. Here was something where my martial skills, anger and problems with disassociation could be safely channeled. Ares did an excellent job of creating a functioning martial art more or less from scratch and I am proud to have been a part of those initial stages. Apathy still struck me every now and again and I would relapse in to a semi fugue state but more and more I was able to hold it together.

When the crash happened at the end of ’64 everything was going to ****, Claire had left me and Ares didn’t seem like a safe haven any more. I took the opportunity of a glitch in records to slip away from the corp and head out for new horizons. I know now that the corp had an eye on me all along and I’ve worked for them several times since, but I guess that they no longer wanted a liability on their official books and I was more useful to them as a freelance operative.

I made my way to Seattle eventually, pitching up in Redmond a couple of years ago. Although I plied my skills as a shadowrunner from time to time I preferred to have a steadier income and found work at a dojo in Touristville, keeping street kids out of trouble and helping the odd fellow runner to up their game. The Wolf Pack offered me another home and a place to be with people who, whilst as weird as me, weren’t anywhere near as messed up.

I don’t know whether I’m cursed but I was thrown out in to the cold again when the community that housed them was attacked by anti-techno types who objected to something in the hippie commune ethos. So I’m back to looking for shadow work and keeping my head down…

CIRQUE DE L'OMBRE, BLACK AND WHITE CIRCUS FREAKS, CONNECTION 5



Membership: 10-99 (+1), Scope: Worldwide (+3), Finances: Limited (+1), Magic: Some (+1), Matrix: Limited (+1)

Description:The Circus of Shadows is a mysterious travelling troupe that somehow seem to slip across borders with an ease that make many Coyotes scratch their heads in bafflement. They are a rag tag convoy of vehicles, including some truly ancient horse drawn caravans, that house an eclectic mix of performers from the typical clowns, acrobats and soothsayers to more modern matrix AR performers and tech wizards. They arrive at a destination without fanfare, set up shop and run a performance or two and then disappear without a word about where they are going. Despite that they draw large crowds of those in the know and tickets are fiercely sought after.

They have a uniform of sorts in that they all wear tones of black grey or silver with the smallest flashes of white to provide striking contrasts. Colour is only really seen in the AR overlays or for those looking on in the astral, where the shows are almost equally targeted.

Uses: Smuggling, esoteric magical knowledge
Places to Meet: On the road or on their travelling host
Contact: Matrix

RENAISSANCE, TRANSHUMANIST BODYGUARD, CONNECTION 5
left-aligned image

Name & Principle Alias Renaissance

Ethnicity & Metatype Caucasian Transhuman

DOB 2035 Sex Male Height Tall Build Averahe
Nationality EVO

Description: Renaissance is a product of EVO’s transhumanist culture, fully embracing the melding of man, machine and magic to form a greater whole. Unlike some who have had cyber limb replacements, he voluntarily had his legs replaced with the digigrade raptor design to make himself taller and faster. After serving some time in the corporate security services he dedicated himself to close protection work. The exact story of how he left EVO’s employ isn’t widely known but he has subsequently set himself up, highly successfully, as an independant contractor and has an impressive list of pleased clientelle. He never stays on one posting for more than a year but that doesn’t stop him getting some top drawer details.

Uses: He keeps a close eye on events in the parts of the world he serves in and is a good general source of knowledge on local events. If you can get on his list he can offer bodyguard services too
Places to Meet: Matrix
Contact: Commcode
Available: Very rarely in person, he’ll call you back!

PETAL, FREE PLANT SPIRIT, CONNECTION 5
left-aligned image

Name & Principle Alias Petal

Ethnicity & Metatype Free Spirit

DOB 2076 (when she became free) Sex Female Height Short Build Slight
Nationality None

Description: Petal was once Dream's ally spirit but when he was turned the shock and trauma set her free. She tired to remain by her former master's side, but the growing darkness in him, as the virus took over more and more, forced her away. Eventually she was unable to stand by and watch as the man she'd loved succumbed to the virus. She went her own way until the Old One offered her Dream's position in the Choir. She was reluctant at first but the Old One is difficult to refuse and her intimate knowledge of the Choir's goals made her final acceptance almost inevitable.

Preferred Runners: Hooders
Uses: Magical knowledge and support
Places to Meet: In person

THE CHILD SEER, FREE SPIRIT, CONNECTION 8
left-aligned image
right-aligned image

Name & Principle Alias The Child

Ethnicity & Metatype Free Spirit

DOB Unknown Sex Ambiguous Height Varies Build Varies
Nationality None

Description: The Child appears on the astral as a multi-limbed spirit, and this is perhaps its truest form, however it recognises that some find that disturbing and when it materialises it usually takes the very non-threatening form of a little girl. It is a seer and plys its trade with the Cirque de l'Ombre as a sideshow freak, telling fortunes to those that come to see it. Its motivations for doing so are as alien as its true form but it is clear that it meddles in events, prodding at the skiens of fate according to some unknown plan of its own.

Uses: Obscure future knowledge, metaplanar gateways
Places to Meet: At the Cirque
Contact: In person
Available: When the Cirque is in town

FESTIVALE, ROCKER & PHOENIX ADEPT, CONNECTION 6
left-aligned image

Name & Principle Alias Dominique Dubois ""Festivale""

Ethnicity & Metatype Caucasian Human

DOB 2050 Sex Female Height Average Build Slight
Nationality French

Description: When she’s on the stage she’s a blazing force of nature, off the stage she’s much closer to the ashes of the Phoenix’s life cycle…for those she runs with it is a mixed blessing that she considers shadowruns to be part of her grand performance. That’s not to say she will deliberately do things to make the run more risky but she would rather be the blaze than the whisper of smoke.

Preferred Runners: Those with a sense of style
Uses: Info on the music and media scene in Seattle
Places to Meet: Clubs she’s playing, party venues
Contact: Commcode
Available: At night usually

SONG, HACKER ADEPT, CONNECTION 3
left-aligned image

Name & Principle Alias Min Lai ""Song""

Ethnicity & Metatype Oriental Human

DOB 2062 Sex Female Height Average Build Willowy
Nationality Renraku

Description: Song appears to be a corporate princess in open rebellion to her former corporate masters, an image she doesn’t mind fostering as it makes many in the shadows underestimate her. She is grateful for the skills she picked up with them and is more than happy to use those in service of others, even against Renraku. The circumstances of her defection to the shadows are hazy and she clams up when questioned about them but those who have worked with her respect her skills and are forced to acknowledge that a hacker that can ply their trade without dropping in a heap on the floor is valuable on any run.

Uses: Intel on the Japancorps, AR hacking
Places to Meet: Matrix hangouts or decker bars
Contact: Commcode

JACKDAW, PIXIE DECKMEISTER, CONNECTION 3
left-aligned image
right-aligned image

Name & Principle Alias Poppy d’Eyn “Jackdaw”

Ethnicity & Metatype European Pixie

DOB 2060 Sex Female Height Tiny Build Tiny
Nationality None

Description: The rustic idyll of a fae tribe on the edge of the Seelie Court might appeal to some, not so to Poppy who resented the slavish adherence to the Old Ways and the worship of the mighty Elves set above them. She craved the bright lights of the modern world glimpsed on the edge of their domains, to such an extent that she was ostracised from the tribe. This wasn’t enough for some of her peers and on the day she was due to leave they dragged her in to the woods and beat her almost to the point of Vanish…but she was stubborn and refused to fade away. Instead Fate, or Chance intervened and she was found by scouts of the UnSeelie Court. Broken and spent they nevertheless tried to patch her back together as best they could and eventually smuggled her out of the Tir, a debt for which she still owes them.

Despite her uneducated upbringing she has striven to teach herself about the New World and has become an accomplished decker…in the matrix size really doesn’t matter and she can hide from her own broken form.

Preferred Runners: Ones that are happy to work with an anonymous hacker
Uses: Matrix intel, occasional support
Places to Meet: In the matrix, seldom in her iDoll’s flesh
Contact: Commcode
Available: Most of the time, she’s another matrix addict that rarely sleeps

MECHANICALS TRIBE, CONNECTION 5

Membership: 100-1000 (+2), Scope: Local Area (+0), Finances: Limited (+1), Magic: Some (+1), Matrix: Limited (+1)

Description:The Mechanicals are an urban tribe now holed up in a geothermal plant on the outskirts of Orting in Puyallup. In fact they’ve taken over much of the small town below as their demense and walled it off against outsiders like an old school motte and bailey fortification. They are steampunk enthusiasts with a penchant for scounging tech and repurposing it as well as hydroponics farmers and they even offer limited medical aid to the locals (there aren’t all that many locals in the ash wastes around their home).

They’ve had bitter experiences over the last few years since teaming up with the FreΣdom Tribe, facing off raids and even a devastating ghoul attack. They are understandably wary of strangers but they have big hearts and once you prove yourself to them then they are extremely loyal.

Uses: Juryrigged but servicable tech, steampunk styling, a place to lay low in an emergency
Places to Meet: Orting or at the Crime Mall or local scrap heaps
Contact: Face to face

GEOLOC, WILDERNESS GUIDE, CONNECTION 3
left-aligned image

Name & Principle Alias Dafydd "GeoLoc"

Ethnicity & Metatype Caucasian Giant

DOB 2055 Sex Male Height Tall Build Robust
Nationality Welsh (SINless)

Description: Dafydd was born in the wilds of the Welsh mountains to a small clan of giants. Although he has never relinquished his love of the wilderness he never the less felt the draw of the bright lights of civilisation… being small for his race may have had something to do with it too. He left the clan when he came of age and sought his fortune, first in Cardiff, then London. He quickly realised there wasn’t much call for his skills in the big cities and so set off around the world to see new sights and explore new wildernesses.

Preferred Runners: Ones with a respect for the wilds
Uses: Wilderness guide

WEAVER, VR MATRIX ADEPT, CONNECTION 3
left-aligned image

Name & Principle Alias Gareth Bland "Weaver"

Ethnicity & Metatype Caucasian Dwarf

DOB 2047 Sex Male Height Short Build Overweight
Nationality None

Description: Weaver was a co-founder of the FreΣdom hacker Tribe alongside Prospero but differences of opinion on how the tribe should be governed led to a parting of the ways. Weaver was fond of the comforts that illicit hacking could bring and found Prospero’s desire to stay on the fringes of the barrens to be lacking in vision. He still maintains connections with the tribe and has even lured one or two away with the promise of a better life. When Silk came to him with her stories of the Pattern he had an epiphany of sorts and has subsequently agreed to work closely with her and her Patterners, all with the intention of furthering his own quest for personal wealth and the comforts of the VR world.
