SILK, INFOBROKER, CONNECTION 6
left-aligned image

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.

 


Preferred Runners: Professionals
Uses: Information, disinformation, fixer services relating to info gathering
Places to Meet: Matrix gaming hosts [eg. The Citadel], Seattle coffee shops
Contact: Commcode
Available: Most of the time, she rarely sleeps

HUNTER, HUMAN/CHANGELING DRUID, CONNECTION 5
left-aligned image

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...

DARK HOPE, MONAD INFILTRATOR, CONNECTION 5
left-aligned image

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.

ARIA WATERS, CONNECTION 2
left-aligned image

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. Although Aria chafes somewhat against the restrictions imposed on her she is glad to be taught the mechanisms for control in the face of the wellspring of her power.

FLICKER, CHANGELING NEWBIE RUNNER, CONNECTION 2
left-aligned image

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 | 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.

Places to Meet: Bars and clubs of Downtown Seattle

CANNON, TECH DEALER, CONNECTION 5
left-aligned image

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
left-aligned image

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

ARIA, MATRIX PHENOMENON, CONNECTION 8+
left-aligned image

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

Joe Dawson is a male dwarf, about 55 years old in Hamilton, Ontario, southwest of Toronto. He was a former runner, and has a wide variety of contacts, in addition to the information he picks up while tending bar. He has both a sawed off pool cue and a sawed off shotgun, depending on his needs, for defense, as well as some unarmed combat ability, but his reactions and agility are understandably lower than they could be if he were younger.

He did some mechanical engineering work before retiring, both from his day job, and shadowrunning, to open his own bar. He keeps his ears open and his mouth shut, unless it's useful to him. He enjoys blues music, especially blues guitar.

The following knowledge skills are applicable: Music (blues), Alcohol, Sports, Street Rumors, Trivia.

Caleb Mais, Tir Soldier, Connection 3
right-aligned image
Caleb Mais aka Maze
Metatype: Elf
Sex: Male
Age: Old
Type: Personal Favors (Shadow Services, Legwork)
Connection Rating: 3
Preferred Payment Method: Service
Hobbies/Vice: adrenaline sports
Personal Life: Single and loving it!

Caleb Mais was born before the first Matrix Crash and has been a Peacekeeper for as long as they’ve existed. His grasp of magic has propelled him through the ranks of the Tir Tairngire military, earning him a coveted spot among the White Banners. While he is fiercely loyal to his country, he sees a distinct difference between the nation that he loves and the politicians who govern her. He and Lani met when they were assigned to Hestaby. While he was ambitious, she seemed content where she was. Since she left the service, she has helped him keep an unofficial eye on Seattle and Tarislar in exchange for providing her with information from the homeland.

Longfinger, Street Doc, Connection 2
left-aligned image
Longfinger
Metatype: Elf
Sex: Male
Age: Old
Type: Shadow Service (Swag, Networking)
Connection Rating: 2
Preferred Payment Method: Cash
Hobbies/Vice: BTL chips
Personal Life: Single

While most elves look young and vibrant regardless of their age, the weight of Longfinger’s BTL addiction hangs heavily on him. Nevertheless, he has been a staple of the neighborhood for decades. His skills with cybertechnology suggest some sort of formal education and professional career in that area but, if that is true, he never speaks of it. Instead, he goes about his business of patching up the residents of Tarislar, be they elf, human, or anything else. In addition to his primary trade as a street doc, his good standing with the Ancients also positions him well to make money on the side as a pipeline into their black-market dealings.

Cream's Contacts and Locations

left-aligned image
Chesire
Cat Street Shaman Human Female Connection 2

Cheshire grew up on the streets of Toronto orphaned at an early age. She’s not entirely sure when Cat took an interest in her but it was at a fairly early age. Cat began to show herself to Cheshire playing with her or directly warning her, always drawing her away from danger.

As she became older though, Cheshire not remembering her own name, much less anything about her family took the name she goes by now. Shortly after she took the name she began to learn how to wield mana.

She’s been practicing it ever since becoming quite adept at it now that she is an adult. A few years ago, she ran into a gang known as The Bloodhounds. They’re a small go-gang made up of psychotics, some cyber-psychos, and lead by a man who practices blood magic. All of them have a taste for blood and often have had themselves sculpted in some manner either through surgery, ‘wares, or magic to take on some feature of a rabid canine. They hunted her for sport when they found her. They redoubled their efforts when they learned she was a follower of Cat. So far she’s managed to evade them or win the few skirmishes she was forced into.

Cheshire wanders the streets of Toronto based on her whims, curiosity, and Cat’s calls to aid others. When she isn’t playing with annoying the Blood Hounds for amusement.

Connection to Cream: It was just such a desire to bait a small group of Bloodhounds that lead to her discovering the street samurai. She’d seen a small group moving slowly through the alley in a pick-up truck so she followed them figuring to have some fun. They ambushed Cream as he was skulking around what appeared to be an abandoned building. To her surprise he handled the four of them even after being badly injured in their initial assault and did so quietly. Between this and his skulking her curiosity was up so she followed Cream. This lead to first a stand-off. Then a whimsy-fueled fling on her part with Cream. It cooled rather quickly after about a week as Cream put the brakes on it and Cheshire’s curiosity was for now sated. The relationship stayed cool but maintained a beneficial professionalism. Several months later, they’ve stayed in touch but both are still trying to figure out whether they truly want more from their relationship as every now and again it peeks up and cools off. Still they’ve helped each other out and continue to do so.

Places to meet: Anywhere really but quite often alleyways and coffee shops.
Type: Legwork (Street Info/Rumors), Bolt Holes, Support
Payment: Exchange of Favors/Services, Nuyen, or Barter (pending her whims)


Dr. Carl "Clamps" Ericks
right-aligned image

Street Doc Human Male Connection 2

Dr. Carl Ericks runs a street clinic in Etobicoke. He had done a stint as a combat medic for the UCAS before an injury forced him to retire. He used his savings to return to university though and earned his degree as a trauma surgeon and a place with DocWagon.

He is a man who puts healing before all else though many just say he is a bleeding heart. It’s that code that eventually caused DocWagon to fire him. He treated patients that were not DocWagon clients when and where he could and more than once let some supplies get lost to help others in need. After they let him go, they blackballed him so he could not find any legitimate employment in Toronto.

It just so happens that this bleeding heart also is the reason he ended up becoming a street doc. While out for supper one night, there was a horrific car accident just outside the restaurant leaving several dead and one rather famous actor mortally injured. Street legend has it he used a pair of salad tongs to clamp off where she was bleeding out and kept her alive until DocWagon arrived and could properly treat her. At least that is the story that is claimed to have given him his street name: Clamps.

No one knows where he got the seed money to set up his clinic or how he came into position of the old shoe manufacturing factory that had been closed in Etobicoke but that is where he now works out of and has a small staff to aid him. He’s been there for the better part of a decade now and has become a fixture on the scene. Though it is a struggle at times to stay supplied.

Connection to Cream: Cream wandered into Clamps street clinic one night badly wounded. Multiple injuries and bleeding like a stuck pig. Clamps managed to patch him up and get Cream back on his feet. Since that day Cream has been the occasional patient of Doctor Ericks and is also aiding in keeping his clinic supplied when Cream can. It has turned into a respected professional relationship especially as Cream has brought other customers in as they needed various treatments.

Places to meet: Clamp’s (Street Clinic)
Type: Service, Medical Knowledge
Payment: Cash, Medical Supplies, Favors

Phillip Cardinal
Amerindian (Cree) Tribal Human Male Connection 2

Phillip Cardinal is one tribal liaison and representative to the Corporations and government representatives who come to their lands attempting to work a deal. Each side hoping to exploit the others.

He represents a number of tribes north of Toronto who have banded together for mutual benefit in these dealings. He is intelligent, wise, and has a decent understanding of human nature and psychology. Phillip has a no-nonsense approach to these dealings though he can be sly as needed. Nonetheless he appreciates those of a similar nature.

Trained in survival and other skills, he can also handle himself in almost every situation.

Connection to Cream: Cream met Phillip while on the job escorting a corporate representative to a meet and they quickly came to appreciate one another. So much so that Cream often was part of any party or supply drops being made to the tribes who Phillip represented. They’ve helped each other out in small ways and over time this has developed into true professional respect. Neither has really had to call on one another in a significant way to date.

Places to meet: Outside Toronto on NAN lands
Type: Legwork (Tribal Info, NAN dealings), Guide, Safe House (in tribal lands)
Payment: Exchange of Favors/Services, Nuyen, or Barter
