The Awakening was a good thing. Eventually magic and nature will win out over greedy megacorps and insane polititians.

As you can tell  one of his major drves is the opposite sex.<br/><br/>RUNNING THE SHADOWS<br/><br/>19)   Why does your character run the shadows?<br/>Usually by necessity. Although he expects to be paid good nuyen for his services, he is the typical reluctant hero. He is a sucker for a deserving hard luck case, and he loves sticking a finger to the man!<br/><br/>20)   How does your character view his/her role as a shadowrunner?<br/>Its a means to an end. He can help the underdog and get paid for it at the same time. This means he won't take kindly to morally reprehensible jobs.
