I have three ideas, which I am having trouble choosing between. Little help? :)<br/><br/>1. Simon is a good-hearted ork, well liked on the street, and tough as the proverbial nails. Summed up briefly, he's the classic two-fisted detective. Summed up in greater detail, he's a native born Seattle-ite who loves putting in time at the local bar and watching Urban Brawl on the trid. He's rather particular about being payed what he's worth, but his altruism outweighs his ambition, and he's taken on more than a few "mercy" jobs for locals and old friends. Chief among his problems is a cousin who's running a fairly brutal gang out of prison; for all that he tries to keep out of it, he keeps getting closer and closer to having to do something about his cousin, and going against family is always rough. Especially for orks.<br/><br/>2. Vickie is an absolute dork. She loves matrix surfing, gaming, catching up on the latest gossip, etc. She's nobody's hacker, though...just an exuberant user of the matrix. She makes her actual cash as a street sam, and is developing a (bad) reputation for pulling of flashy moves inspired by those damn action trids she's always watching. Thus far she's proven to have the watts to live up to the hype, but it's still a bit irritating for some people to have to listen to her go on about how cool that thing she just did was.<br/><br/>3. Asuka is an elven hermetic magician who moonlight's occasionally as a teaching assistant at a small university. Mostly, she works as magical backup for Shadowrunner teams, saving the money she makes to fund explorations/investigations of magical phenomena. She is bookish, drives a little scooter around, and tends to fade into the background at clubs and Mr. Johnson meets, if at all possible. She is reasonably professional, and is quite capable of self-defense, but she's not really a combat mage. Her area of expertise is magic, magical creatures, and investigation/missing persons retrieval.<br/><br/>
