20 Questions:<br/>BACKGROUND:<br/>1)   Where's your character from?<br/><br/>Tim (aka Boingo) was born and raised in a Barrens neighborhood on the border of Renton. The neighborhood was a fairly even mix of metahumans and humans, and a fairly peaceful one at that, until Humanis started its campaign of subversion.<br/><br/>2)   Does your character have a family?<br/><br/>Tim doesn't have a family of his own, nor does he intend to in the near future. His parents are still alive and well, living comfortably in Tacoma. He doesn't see them so often anymore, though. Their new neighbors don't respond too well to a 'tattooed freak' hanging around the area.<br/><br/>3)   Does your character have an ethnic background?<br/><br/>Tim's father is fourth generation Russian, his mother's family emmigrated from Mexico before the Awakening, and settled in what was once Oregon.<br/><br/>APPEARANCE<br/>4)   What does your character look like?<br/><br/>Tim is a lithe elf of average height, posessing an athletic build. His upper arms and back are covered in tattoos (mostly tribal, with a few modern elements interwoven into them), and his long hair is usually dyed green and kept in dredlocks. He has several facial percings as well.<br/><br/>5)   What does your character dress like?<br/><br/>Tim tends to dress in the latest urban street fashion, and usually in bright colors. His taste is an eccentric mix of subculture, and it shows in his clothing. When on the job he tends to dress a mite more subtle, though there is only so subtle he can be. Regardless, whatever Tim wears, he will not dress in something that will restrict his movement in any way.<br/><br/>6)   Does your character have physical quirks?<br/><br/>Aside from having bright green dreadlocks, Tim has a few pysical ticks, developed from a constant hyperactiveness. He also has a habit of throwing off random kung fu moves from time to time, usually when he has been sitting still for a while.<br/><br/>SKILLS, ATTRIBUTES, AND RESOUCES<br/>7)   Where did your character learn their Active Skills?<br/><br/>Barring his skill with a pistol, Tim is largely self taught. His skills come from a combination of love of anything athletic (especially parkour), and from constantly being in trouble with the law. He learned how to shoot from Xion, who got his hands on a piece on day, which they used to use to shoot old energy drink cans and such.<br/><br/>8)   Where did your character learn their Knowledge Skills?<br/><br/>Life with little else but watching the trid and causing trouble with the law brought him most of the knowledge he has. That which he knows about Humanis he learned for personal reasons. Namely for revenge. He picked up his Spanish and from his mother, who insisted she wasn't going to raise a fool kid.<br/><br/>9)   Where did your character get his goodies?<br/><br/>Having grown up in the Barrens, Tim knew people who knew people, who knew places to get their hands on a gun and some decent armor. The stun baton he actually stole from a cop.<br/><br/>10)   Where does your character live?<br/><br/>Tim lives in a tiny tenemant apartment that and any time plays host to ten or twelve of his friends. Usually these friends are people he doesn't even remember meeting, or he just met the night before.<br/><br/>11)   Who are your character's contacts?<br/><br/>Xion is a huge Rastafarian troll whom Tim used to tag with, back in the days before his arrest. Nowadays he and Xion still hang from time to time, usually when they both feel like wrecking a few Humanis boys.<br/><br/>Doc Sampson was once a brilliant surgeon, who now lives on the monorail, living off of handouts. He once helped Tim out after a brush up with the Spikes, so now Tim brings along something hot and fresh whenever he rides the rails.<br/><br/>12)   Who are your character's enemies?<br/><br/>Tim has a special dislike in his usually carefree heart for Humanis members, and their less fanatic supporters. He especially hates Hammond Smythe. The feeling is more than mutual.<br/><br/>13)   How did your character learn magic<br/><br/>Tim's Awakening just came naturally to him. He doesn't even realize the full extent of it yet. Chalk that up to still being a teenager, and an invincible one at that.<br/><br/>PERSONALITY<br/>14)   What are your character's likes and dislikes?<br/><br/>Tim is all about freedom of movement, and flowing with his environment. He constantly has to be on the move, and he is always looking out for the next big element to play off of. He can't stand anti-metahuman sentiment, and the hatred that comes along with that intolerance.<br/><br/>15)   What is your character's moral code?<br/><br/>Tim is all about the carefree life, and is about the furthest from a cold killer you can get. He won't even pull a gun unless something is really going down.<br/><br/>16)   Does your character have goals?<br/><br/>Tim would like to get his ass out of the Barrens some day, and earn himself the respect it would take to be happy living elsewhere.<br/><br/>17)   Does your character have personal beliefs?<br/><br/>Tim is a Catholic, but not an overly faithful one. Again, as with much of his foundation, this is his mother's influence.<br/><br/>18)   Does your character have personality quirks?<br/><br/>Unless it comes to Humanis, Tim is the eternal optomist. He can find the good in being shot... out of a cannon. He is also a hopeless flirt, though he doesn't have too much luck with the ladies, given he is a bit eccentric.<br/><br/>RUNNING THE SHADOWS<br/>19)   Why does your character run the shadows?<br/><br/>He runs the Shadows for the kicks, and to keep soy on the table.<br/><br/>20)   How does your character view his/her role as a shadowrunner?<br/><br/>He doesn't see himself as being a true professional, which is a realistic viewpoint. He doesn't have the skills to be a true shadow ninja, and he won't kill out of hand, so he'll be happy taking crazy runs that no one else will touch.
