				<div class="floatright">(https://i.imgur.com/RQHnKpL.png)</div><strong>Character:</strong> Concobhar Mac Cárthaigh // Vane Redbeard<br><strong>Player:</strong> Primarch<br><br><strong>Lifepath:</strong> Corpo<br><strong>Role:</strong> Solo<br><strong>Specialties:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Close Quarters Combat</li><li>Corpo Involvement</li><li>Technical Skills</li></ul><br><strong>Personality:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li><em>He's actually a really nice guy?</em> - Vane has been a regular at the Afterlife since his name became something in Night City. Beyond Afterlife he's a known man about town, frequenting several other clubs &amp; bars He's on first name terms with several of his favourite coffee &amp; food vendors. Despite his reputation as a big, bad Merc Solo he's generally known for being approachable, gregarious, honest &amp; even well meaning.</li><li><em>None So Fierce</em> - Nice guy in his social life or not, when it comes to work Vane is a professional Solo. In days gone by he was a ruthless Arasaka counterintelligence operative and now he's one of Night City's most lethal. Anyone who has seen him switch on his Berserk implant and get the job done know he's the best at what he does.</li><li><em>A Merc's Merc</em> - Vane is big on the 'Brotherhood' within the Merc community. People in the circuit know his word is good as gold &amp; he's reliable. If people are in trouble they can turn to him, and he's helped countless newbie's get their bearings within the lifestyle. If you need him, he's got your back. </li></ul><br><strong>History:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Born 'Concobhar Mac Cárthaigh' to a Corporate family in Charter Hill, Night City. It was always understood Concobhar would go into the Corporate lifestyle and so his education was streamlined for that benefit. </li><li>Fought in the Unification War where he gained valuable combat experience &amp; an understanding of military operations. After the war he was employed by the Arasaka Corporation. As a counterintelligence operative he trained in creating and maintaining intelligence networks, establishing defense of corporate assets in the event of armed conflict &amp; crisis impact analysis. Eventually however 'office politics' resulted in his 'dismissal' (to put things lightly).&nbsp; </li><li>After Arasaka Concobhar got involved in Merc work, at first it was just a way to made some eddies. Military experience makes for a useful Solo and an extra gun is always useful. The jobs kept coming and he started running with a regular crew, a new little family. It was at this time he started being known as 'Vane' or occasionally 'Vane Redbeard,' Vane being his callsign back during the war and Redbeard....because his beard was red.</li><li>Vane proved to be an ambitious and highly skilled Solo, quickly integrating him in the Merc/Solo community. His reputation grew steadily for his capabilities &amp; reliability. Like many he was chasing the fame &amp; prestige of the lifestyle that would permanently imprint his name in the history of Night City. When the jobs got more intense Vane started investing more &amp; more of his pay back into equipment, in particular the fortune he spent on cyberware.</li><li>These days Vane is a living legend, or as some put it 'an Afterlife drink waiting to happen' but he hasn't gone down in a blaze of glory just yet. If he can't die like a legend, the gonk will just live like one, for now.</li></ul><br><strong>Relationships/Connections:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li><em>Karma</em> - Karma is one hundred percent shady as shit, a Ripper Doc who hides they're clinic behind a tattoo parlour &amp; keeps no records? I know they work with the Tyger Claws &amp; they've got some ex-Maelstrom bodyguard or personal Solo. I'm told they do excellent work but there's a lot of cloak &amp; dagger for what should be a legitimate operation.</li><li><em>Choko Tanaka</em> - A breath of fresh air in the Fixer scene. Choko is an awkward little creature but by Fixer standards seems to be well meaning. Maybe Night City just hasn't jaded her yet. We've not done any work together but she seems on the straight &amp; narrow. I wish her all the luck in the world.</li><li><em>N0liss</em> - I have great time for N0liss (Noh-Liss? Noa-Less?). I don't know if she's into mysticism stuff but she reminds me of mysticism stuff. Like someone plucked a netrunner sage from somewhere far away and dropped her into Night City. She just doesn't fit in, in all of the best ways!</li><li><em>Jack B. Nimble</em> - In an industry where every second Choom operates under a nom de guerre (like me, Vane Redbeard!) I've never met someone so obsessed with ensuring his identity is some big mystery. Most people struggle not to vanish into nothingness in Night City, Jack is so pre-occupied with making sure nobody knows who he is, he's reminding people he might be someone? Eccentric approach to his identity aside, Jack's a professional with integrity. As one Solo to another, I can respect him for that.</li><li><em>Katheryn" Belova</em> - I actually know Kat from her NCPD days. She used to contract me here and there. Her story is a real fucker but its classic Night City. Cop who genuinely wants to help people gets fucked over by the overwhelming corruption. Real solid PI though, and a top shelf Solo in her own right. Also I'd hit that like a freight train.</li><li><em>Valkyrie</em> - I can't help feel bad for that gal, she was some Maelstrommer's output and they eventually ditched her to the curb. She seems tough as old leather but with what she's survived you'd want to be. By all accounts she's Karma's on hand Solo and I'm told she does fine work.</li><li><em>Evangeline</em> - To state the obvious, Eva possesses naturally what most people aspire to achieve with a fortune in cyberware. She could be the face of the Lady Midnight. Get beyond the body built for Sin &amp; you find one of the most genuine, sweet people in Night City. We flirt all the time when I see her in Afterlife and if she ever needed my help she'd have it but beyond that.....</li></ul><br><strong>Weapons/Equipment:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Jinchu-Maru</li><li>SOR-22</li><li>Malorian Overture</li></ul><br><strong>Cyberware:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li><em>Frontal Cortex:</em> Limbic System Enhancement, Heal-On-Kill, Self-Ice</li><li><em>Ocular System:</em> Kiroshi Optics Mk. 3</li><li><em>Operating System:</em> Militech Berserk MK.5</li><li><em>Circulatory System:</em> Adrenaline Booster, Second Heart, Bioplastic Blood Vessels</li><li><em>Immune System:</em> Cataresist, Pain Editor, Detoxifier</li><li><em>Nervous System:</em> Kerenzikov, Neofiber</li><li><em>Integumentary System:</em> Subdermal Armour, Supra-dermal Weave, Fireproof Coating</li><li><em>Skeleton Cyberware:</em> Titanium Bones, Microrotors</li><li><em>Hands Cyberware:</em> None</li><li><em>Arms Cyberware:</em> Gorilla Arms - <em>Animal Knuckles, Black-Market Battery</em></li><li><em>Legs Cyberware:</em> Reinforced Tendons</li></ul><br><strong>Additional Details:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Its well known that Vane is one of, if not <em>the</em> premiere Solo's when it comes to CQC, being tremendously dangerous with both his gorilla arms &amp; a katana. People often question the redundancy of Vane fighting with both. Truth be told there's no tactical reason behind it, Vane just loves them. Though dangerous with both, its the gorilla arms that really put him on the map. With his state-of-the-art gorilla arms (and the small fortune of other cyberware that support their use) he knocked the fuck out of professional heavy weight boxing champion Razor Hugh in a prize fight, Later while on an Op targeting Arasaka he was intercepted by Sandayu Oda, the legendary bodyguard of Hanako Arasaka. Vane spared Oda's life but claimed the sword <em>Jinchu-Maru</em>, which is now his katana of choice.</li><li>Vane has personally modified all of his equipment, becoming something of a master artisan when it comes to upgrading weapons and protective clothing. While his signature accessories are a pair of aviators and some dog tags from the war, his style in general has been called 'Construction worker-chic,' as it tends to feature heavy boots, cargo pants &amp; shirt worn over a t-shirt or vest. Those familiar with such things however will notice the protective mesh-weaves and armadillo mods used to strengthen the material. </li><li>Despite his very casual fashion sense Vane drives a very fancy Caliburn hypercar. Almost immediately after purchasing it he crashed it. Its since been repaired and he's gotten used to its horsepower.</li><li>While Vane is indisputably one of the most effective Solo's in Night City, by his own admission he's not overtly fond of jobs where discretion is key. While he <em>can</em> be discreet if the job requires it, he's better suited to jobs that require 'sending a message' or overwhelming brute force.</li><li>Vane is a big fan of cheap coffee &amp; Night City street vendor food. Before any operation he'll get something to eat, often a burrito or some noodles. A personal tradition. A latte is a great way to bribe him.</li></ul>

				<ul class="bbc_list"></ul><div class="floatright">(https://i.imgur.com/aH3M4Vr.jpegr)</div><strong>Character:</strong> Chikao/Choko Tanaka<br><strong>Player:</strong> Angie<br><br><strong>Lifepath:</strong> Street Kid<br><strong>Role:</strong> Fixer<br><strong>Specialties:</strong> <br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Hacking: Her skill ever since she was younger and got her first cyberdeck, Choko is ridiculously quick on the hack and can make even the best security systems feel like tissue paper. She doesn't use it as much, though.</li><li>Decryption: Choko likes picking apart encrypted systems, to the point where she would do it for other teams for a quick paycheck. Learned a lot of things that corpos would rather keep hidden.</li><li>Dug In: Choko has encrypted, hidden access to many corporate message boards and chatrooms. Often times, she's aware of corpos needing a team or a merc long before anything official happens. Originally she did this to keep eyes on corpo interests, but now she does it because it helps her set up deals.</li></ul><br><strong>Personality:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Awkward: Having spent most of her time running the net, she's not all that good talking with people. Encounters in virtual space tend to be much more fluid.</li><li>Paranoid: A life of fending for herself has left Choko very paranoid, and while she's shaken it off in recent years, she is still slow to trust, and quick to assume the worst.</li><li>Attempted Grace: Choko really attempts to put on an air of refinement and grace. This fails often, and tends to be more effective in phone conversations or other, virtual environments. Some find the effort charming, though.</li></ul><br><strong>History:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Early Life: Street Kid: Choko spent her early life as Chikao, born to a Tyger Claw father and a braindance addicted mother. Neither parent did much in the way of raising him, so instead, Chikao ended up falling in with a netrunner gang. He took to it pretty well, ended up going solo after getting better than the gang was and wanting to strike out on his own. Plus, he had a goal, one that the gang wasn't interested in...</li><li>Corporate Running: As part of his goals, Chikao hit a large number of corporate subnets. This, combined with some very scary rumors he picked up in the abandoned street corners he called home, led to him constantly looking over his shoulder for corporate agents or netrunners tracking him down. He got lucky, got skilled, and ended up never having to worry about it, aside from the one or two jobs that went sideways. This allowed him to pursue his true goals.<br></li><li>Becoming Choko: Chikao put aside a large amount of eddies, a little bit after each run, whatever he didn't need to use. Eventually, he was able to pay for extensive cosmetic surgery and cyberware to transform him into the body he dreamed of. He took the name Choko on the completion of her transformation, keeping only her original cyberdeck marked with her old name as a memento.</li><li>Now: Choko acts as a fixer, primarily for other netrunners and hackers looking for work. Plenty of corpo jobs require discretion...</li></ul><br><strong>Relationships/Connections:</strong> (Mostly first impressions for now)<br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Jack: I don't know why he dresses like he stepped off the set of 'Cyber Ninja: Snake Eater', but it works for him, I guess. I dress like a geisha, after all. His biggest advantage is he lies so much and his sense of humor is so dry, he could flat out admit the truth to someone and they'd never believe him. I have him earmarked for anything that requires someone who can keep their mouth shut.</li><li>Redbeard: If anyone in Night City was a gentle giant, this loveable gonk is it. I've seen the corpo security feeds of what happens when he goes to work, and I've seen him casually chat up the guy at the noodle stand right outside my apartment without a care in the world. I've yet to need him. I hope I never do.</li><li>N0liss: No idea why a Nomad would willingly choose to come to Night City. I guess the roads aren't as free of corpo pigs as I wish they were. Still, she's got some real netrunning skills. Reminds me of myself, back in the day. Must find out if she codes her own.</li><li>Karma: Originally, I didn't trust her-you can take the doc out of the Corpo, but you can't take the Corpo out of the doc, you know the rest. But she earned her rep the old fashioned way, and after a little bit of netrunning against her, found out she doesn't keep records. That intrigued me. Might go to her the next time my 'ware needs a tune up. <br></li><li>Other Fixers: Every fixer knows every other fixer, and if they don't know you, then you're not worth knowing. Luckily, most of them know me, at least in passing. I stay out of their way, out of their biz, and they come to me when their intel networks lack a particular specialty. They offer me the same courtesy.</li><li>Wakako: You don't do biz in Japantown without running into Wakako. I ended up here because I wanted to live here-it's a nice place. Ever had the sushi? Something about the synth-fish they use is juuuust right. I knew her from back in my days of netrunning, I expected to need to apologize for all my runs against the Claws, but she simply told me if I was able to get one over on them, then they deserved it. We quickly recognized we ran in different circles when it came to fixing, my specialties and hers didn't have much overlap, so our relationship is just biz.</li><li>Rogue: For the most part, I'm completely beneath her notice. For now, that suits me fine. Hopefully, I stay unnoticed, and don't end up on her bad side.</li></ul><br><strong>Additional Details:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li></li><li></li><li></li></ul>[/list]

				<div class="floatright">(https://i.imgur.com/a7M7riq.jpg)</div><strong>Character:</strong> Devi Shear/ "N0liss"<br><strong>Player:</strong> Wolfi<br><br><strong>Lifepath:</strong> Nomad<br><strong>Role:</strong> Net Runner<br><strong>Specialties:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>Hacking:</strong> Devi has an especially light touch with most user interfaces. Her code is a bit touch and go as she is self-taught but when she is in the zone, she sees it ALL...and can find out MORE.</li><li><strong>Cyber Security:</strong> ICE won't stop her. She's cracked plenty of secure sites and sold the info on how she did it to especially intelligent Corpos looking to impress. Gave her a nice little nest egg...and a few back doors. It also taught her what NOT to do with her own rig and her friends' gear.</li><li><strong>Programming:</strong> Self-taught with a liberal dose of borrowing from others who did it best...and then tinkering until it's something new, Devi can usually build you something to get you in or out, Give her a few minutes though, damn.</li></ul><br><strong>Personality:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>Attentive:</strong> Devi tends to hyperfocus. If she is interested in the job or you, well she listens intently and recalls everything she's heard. This can be quite distracting if there are two things of interest happening at the same time. However, this does make for a very intense personality when cred is on the line.</li><li><strong>Quirky:</strong> Her dress style, the location of her interface plug, even the places she chooses to doss down for a week or so. None of those things quite go together. She doesn't care, never has. In fact, all she needs is her rig, her bike, and a bed and she'd happily disappear from the world.</li><li><strong>Quiet:</strong> Words are wasted on most people. If she attempts to carry on a conversation with you for longer than two minutes? You must be pretty interesting. Take it as the compliment it was surely meant to be.</li></ul><br><strong>History:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>Early Days - Blood Nation:</strong> Devi is the offspring of a Haitian father and Cuban mother and spent her formative years with her Nomad fam on the highways and byways of the East Coast, learning about the value of entertainment. Due to a crack-up just after her 16th birthday, she developed severe motion sickness and got her first neuro implant to offset it. Between the VR education and fiddling around on one too many rigs, Devi developed a taste for hacking while earning her first bit of cash doing small tech fixes for the <strong>Gargoyles</strong>.</li><li><strong>Night City Arrival - Three Years Ago:</strong> She chose to leave her fam when the constant travel began to affect her equilibrium in severely detrimental ways.&nbsp; It was decided by her Pack's Houngan. that she should head for Night City. After all, a good Net Head is hard to find and expensive to keep. Most of her gear were gifts from her immediate family and she's worked diligently to keep everything in prime condition. She has done some work for <strong>MetaCorp</strong> and is known to most by her handle: N0Liss.</li><li><strong>Now:</strong> Well known in certain circles for the quality of her work, N0Liss spends an inordinate amount of time hanging around <strong>Afterlife.</strong> Perhaps she should switch to homegrown?</li></ul><br><strong>Relationships/Connections:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>Just Jack:</strong> He never lets me have the last word BUT that's fair. Once when I was a nobody, he'd been sweet enough to lend me his ear and a few eddies. He's like a grumpy big brother and an awesome fly swatter, all at once. Admitting that to him out loud? No way! His head is swollen enough as it is!</li><li><strong>Vane:</strong> He intrigues me and he doesn't even TRY. Brilliant solo, ya know? Unlike the unofficial big brother, Vane is who ya get when ya gotta have the biggest bang for ya scratch. Still, he's sweet to those of us who aren't on his list of people to pound into goo. I like him...but don't tell him. He already thinks I'm weird and the cards say he probably always will, more's the pity.</li><li><strong>Karma:</strong> Best ripperdoc eddies can buy. Discrete. Passionate about helping. The fact that I want them in a decidedly unhealthy way? Well, we are friends. I won't screw that up by flirting...much.</li><li><strong>Choko:</strong> One of the best fixers for the little guys if you don't want to be noticed...and I never do. It's rare that she needs someone of my caliber though as I've heard she's got some fierce hacking skills of her own.</li><li><strong>Amazonian Babe:</strong> aka Val. She is scary. For some odd reason, she scares me more than Big Red does. I just stay away from her when I can which is hard because she is friends with Karma. *sighs* Still, she seems handy enough in a fight.</li><li><strong>Katheryn:</strong> Excellent PI or so I have heard though she drinks far too much. Don't tell her I said that. She might decide I look good in handcuffs. (I do.)</li></ul><br><strong>Additional Details:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>Two Residences:</strong> Though most do not know it, N0Liss has a small apartment located in the <strong>Wellsprings</strong>. Only those she trusts implicitly have ever been there. Most biz folks know of her place in the <strong>Northside Industrial District</strong>. It is here that she conducts her business and due to her ties with MetaCorp, she snagged one of the new apartments when the rich jerks decided NID was too gritty for their world views. </li><li><strong>Letters From Home:</strong> A rarity but she does stay connected with her family. After all, she did not choose the life path she now walks. She didn't NEED to come to Night City to earn ED's. All she's ever needed was a rig. </li><li><strong>Blackwall:</strong> She skated off the edge, twice. The second time she became infected by some kind of <strong>virus</strong>. It messed with her frontal lobe enough that she had to increase her memory and get a whole new deck. This makes her cautious when parsing for new contracts as that particular job was arranged by a fixer who worked for <strong>Arasaka</strong> Corp and neglected to tell her. She has kept that secret...mostly. However, Her Nation and family know.</li></ul><br><strong>Weapons/Equipment:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>Stephenson Tech Cyberdeck:</strong> when you care enough to quick hack with the very best.</li><li><strong>2 HJKE-11 YUKIMURA</strong> I mean, look at 'em!!</li></ul><br><strong>Cyberware:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>Circulatory System:</strong> BioConductor, Tyrosine Injector</li><li><strong>Frontal Cortex:</strong> Self ICE, Memory Boost, Ex Disc</li><li><strong>Hands:</strong> Smart Link</li></ul>

Nimble"<br><strong>Player:</strong> TheVillain<br><br><strong>Lifepath:</strong> Ex-Corpo<br><strong>Role:</strong> Infiltration-Solo<br><strong>Specialties:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Stealth</li><li>B&amp;E</li><li>Spycraft</li></ul><br><strong>Personality:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>"Jack B. Nimble" is a frequent Liar but is weirdly honest about it. He'll never tell you his real name but he will fully admit that "Jack B. Nimble" isn't his real name.</li><li>Has an an Extremely Dry Sense of Humor, and jokes that his barbs can drop Maelstrom members at 20 paces.</li><li>Seems weirdly noble at times, and has admitted that a lot of what he does is actually done out of a sense of remorse for horrible things he's done in his past.</li></ul><br><strong>History:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Absolutely refuses to share large parts of his past with anyone. Computer analysis of his vocal patterns has suggested that French is his first language but he was trained to hide his accent. Whatever that might be.</li><li>Has admitted that he used to work for one of the big corporations, though he refuses to say which one. He has once or twice admitted that during this time he did so many awful things that he went all the way back around to having a conscience again.</li><li>Has joked that he's had to fake his own death "more than once". Some of the contexts of these jokes have hinted that he's not entirely kidding.</li></ul><br><strong>Relationships/Connections:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Interactions between Rogue and "Jack B. Nimble" have led some to deduce, correctly, that Rogue knows his true identity. She seems sympathetic to the idea of a remorseful ex-Corpo Wetwork specialist, but will not hesitate to take advantage her inside information.</li><li>"Jack B. Nimble" claims to know the mysterious and reclusive conspiracy theorist and DJ "Maximum Mike". He claims to have seen proof that a lot of MM's conspiracy theories aren't as crazy as they look at a glance.</li><li>[Player Connection Here]</li></ul><br><strong>Weapons/Equipment:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Silenced Pistol - It's not the size of the bullet it's where you put it.</li><li>External Datalink Extensions - For when you need to steal a lot more data much faster then the one in your wrist can hold.</li><li>Automatic Lockpicks - Classic Tools, with an Upgrade.</li></ul><br><strong>Cyberware:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Active Optical Camo - Thanks to extensive Integumentary modifications coupled with a special full-body suit he uses, "Jack B. Nimble" can turn Invisible with a mental command. Sort of. The system requires its own power battery system and if he stands perfectly still a full battery charge will only last about 30 seconds. If he moves the system has to burn through the charge faster to compensate. At a dead sprint the system only lasts *maybe* 10 seconds and even then there might be a visual-blending effect. Afterwords he has to recharge the systems on an external power source of some kind.</li><li>Fortified Ankles - A simple name for a complex system that takes up a surprisingly high volume of his legs, "Jack B. Nimble" has a standard jump height of somewhere in the neighborhood of 10-15 meters vertically. Enough that he can easily jump from ground level to about a 3rd story window if desired for a point of entry. He also takes significantly less damage from falls if he lands on his feet, though even this has limits.</li><li>Microwire - At a glance this appears to be as a cheap knock-off of the vamous Monowire weapon system, a wire said to be only 1 molecule thick for a frighteningly effective cutting edge. And Jack would agree, Microwire isn't as good of a weapon as Monowire and isn't nearly as sharp. But in his experience Microwire is still 80-90% as effective as a weapon and *much* better at utility work. A grapple line, a makeshift lariet, a tripwire - use your imagination. To further trade weapon effectiveness for utility the microwire’s tips can be magnetized.</li><li>Kiroshi Optics Mk. 3 - Forewarned, Forarmed. Jack B. Nimble has made sure his optical sensors are top notch and while he is by no means a full Netrunner he does know enough of the basics to be able to deliver basic attack programs and tricks written by others.</li></ul><br><strong>Additional Details:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>"Jack B. Nimble" has probably the worst thing an Edgerunner can have if they expect to survive. A Conscience. You can easily see it in how he picks work for example, he is definitely taking morality into account when he picks jobs and his prices. He might even agree to work Pro Bono if the cause is good enough.</li><li>Whether or not you believe that he used to work Wetwork for one of the bigger corporations, "Jack B. Nimble" has obviously been extremely well-trained at Stealth and Espionage. In a fair fight he’s not the most effective solo but he’s very good at making sure any fight he gets into isn’t fair. As such he can be seen as a shockingly talented killer even by Edgerunner standards when he wants to be. The only problem is that he absolutely refuses to kill on jobs unless he knows *for an undisputed fact* that his intended victim deserves it.</li><li>While he has worked to replace his jailbroken corporate 'ware with non-corporate replacements, he hasn't suceeded in replacing it all yet and if his old bosses figure out he's still alive that could cause lots of problems for him.</li></ul><br><strong>Remarques:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>Le barbe rousse se bat comme un personnage de dessin animé et sourit comme un idiot. Pourtant, il semble en fait tenir sa parole. Un homme doit avoir une loi.</strong></li><li><strong>Les Docteur est un artiste absolu. Agréable à regarder.

If there's a job that requires brute strength and bloodshed she's on it.</li><li>She can take a hit and just keep coming. It's not a pretty sight but it works.</li></ul><br><strong>Personality:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>Tactful</strong> - Despite the Maelstrom's reputation for being one synaptic misfire away from a cyberpsycho, she is more level-headed than others give her credit for. Guns-blazing might be her style but she knows how to keep a low profile if needed.</li><li><strong>Temper, temper</strong> - Outside of work she's got a mean streak. Sometimes it's easy (re: fun) to wind her up and watch her go. Katya tries not to let too much get under her chassis, though it's best not to poke the metal bear <em>too much</em> unless you want to come away with missing fingers.</li><li><strong>Softie</strong> - Much as she likes to think she can hide it, Katya has a bleeding heart when it comes to street kids, roughed up joy toys and others who lived lives not so dissimilar from hers. Sometimes this throws a curve ball into her contracts.</li></ul><br><strong>History:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>Growing Up Kat </strong>- Katya grew up an only child in Watson with a mother who did whatever she needed to get eddies. She had a decent life - pretty subjective in Night City - but she knew how to go unseen, which usually kept her out of serious trouble and with a roof over her head well into her adolescence. She started to love the adrenaline rush of thievery. After her mom died she escalated to B&amp;E's, assault, and beyond. Kat began running with the dangerous Maelstrom crowd for her fix. Then she met <em>him</em> and everything was going to get better because he treated her right...right? </li><li><strong>Stars in her Black Eyes </strong>- It turned out things were going to get much worse. He was obsessive. He got her wrapped around his finger into his gigs running drugs, stealing, and other offences that might be scrubbed away by a pretty face. When he pushed her to get on the street though, she pushed back, and he didn't like it. The fallout was volatile. It turned out he had friends from dark places. He kept her locked up for a few weeks switching between beatings and torture 'til he got it into his head that he would <em>make her</em> obedient. The resulting experiment was brutal considering his amateur knowledge of anatomy and cybernetics, so she didn't last long. After a while he couldn't stand the sight or smell and ditched his failed handiwork out of his car late at night on the outskirts of Japantown far from Maelstrom haunts. She tumbled messily into the underpass below where the momentum caused further severe internal and external damage, compounding her already mangled limbs and nearly unrecognizable face.</li><li><strong>Aftermath, Kat v2.0</strong> - A ripperdoc from another local gang was passing through and found her somehow clinging to life, if twitching pieces still count as living. They took her in for 'repairs' as a little pet project. Now Katya is almost more mods and machine than flesh and bone, sporting a sleek matte black right leg from the hip down along with a matching right forearm. In exchange for remaking her, the good doc'&nbsp; took her on to repay the life-debt in whatever capacity she's able. It was through them that Katya got into contracts at Afterlife to make eddies and release some of that pent up anger.</li></ul><br><strong>Relationships/Connections:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>The Ex </strong>- He's still out there somewhere, but he's always been good at laying low 'cause he's had years of practice as a violent, opportunistic coward. Between jobs Kat puts out her own feelers for people who might know him so she can hunt him down to take her revenge. She considers dropping it and unburdening herself though the phantom limb pain usually responds with a 'fuck him'.</li><li><strong>Karma, the Ripperdoc</strong> - A guardian angel, more like, who literally pulled her out of the muck. Katya feels indebted to the ripperdoc for life (regardless of their generous compassion). Their expertise put her together again an entirely new and powerful machine ready to take back what the City's underbelly took from her. Since her 'accident' Katya isn't very good at... people-ing, though she would do anything to help Karma and keep them safe. Whatever the good doc needs, job or errand, Katya's going to make it happen.</li><li><strong>Choko, the Fixer</strong> - She doesn't know much about the mysterious fixer except that she seems bent on finding the perfect people for any job. Good talent is vital so she'll give her credit for being thorough in her research and point blank about her requirements. Val appreciates that. Though she has a hard time trusting someone with enough mods they'd give a Maelstromer a run for their eddies.</li><li>More connections to come IC...</li></ul><br><strong>Additional Details:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Kat wears a sentimental braided leather bracelet with a moon charm on her right wrist. It belonged to her mother.</li><li>While she needs to go to the ripper doc for maintenance, Katya knows enough to tinker with a few aspects of her tech. She likes to sit back and treat the mini tune ups as much needed quiet time.</li><li>Vibing to Gravedigger by MXMS (https://youtu.be/lNO8XbkuE-Q)</li></ul><br><strong>Weapons/Equipment:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Fenrir SMG modded for a little extra burn 'n burst</li><li>A reliable old Nowaki AR she picked up after clearing a Tyger den</li><li>Titanium techgogs with tactical software</li></ul><br><strong>Cyberware:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>Circulatory System:</strong> Syn-lungs, Bioconductor, Biometer</li><li><strong>Operating System:</strong> Biodyne Berserk </li><li><strong>Frontal Cortex:</strong> Visual Cortex Support (she loves head-shots, and also there's that missing eye situation)</li><li><strong>Skeleton Cyberware:</strong> Titanium bones, Bionic Joints in her dominant right arm</li></ul><br><div align="center">(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/0c/cc/de/0cccde65a2974e481b0795fbffb63f21.jpg)(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/d4/51/13/d45113a6705a695f578aee0f0b471048.jpg)(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/62/64/fc/6264fc6e628cd78cdb88439ae6a05baf.jpg)(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/24/8a/9c/248a9c6846a134e051550feb2f5edb3e.jpg)</div>

She can flip from an innocent plaything to the mistress of someone's dreams in seconds. It doesn't surprise her that even in this chrome age, appealing to the most basic appetites will get you far with information, and she's not shy about twisting that to her advantage. Contacts. Dirty little secrets. She'll know it all and you wouldn't suspect a thing.</li><li><strong>Connections</strong> - Eva's got a silver tongue. Thanks to a carefully cultivated list of clientele who usually run in the upper echelons of society, there are a lot of ways for her to get things (and people) she wants. Her notable reputation provides carte blanch among certain Night City circles which comes in handy for her and those she's willing to extend her generosity to.</li><li><strong>Athletic</strong> - She's flexible and nimble in all the right ways.</li></ul><br><strong>Personality:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>Sweet</strong> - Eva really cares, a lot. Nowadays she's a bit more jaded and cautious so how she presents that side to those she interacts with depends on the situation, though if you're her client you'd know she goes beyond surface flattery to reveal a more sincere person beneath the lavish dolled up layers. People she counts as friends are recipients of her genuine concern and love, too.</li><li><strong>Perspicacious</strong> - It ought to go without saying that she's a keen judge of character. Her innate sense of who's good and worth the time, or not, has helped Evangeline blossom at her job.</li><li><strong>Extroverted</strong> - She's as bubbly as they come and loves to make friends - it's a perk for her job, too. Evangeline can make herself at home in any situation and enjoys being in the spot light, or at least an active part of whatever social circle is churning out a party. Being around people is a must-have so if she's out of her element for too long that brightness fades and her fast paced life catches up to her quick. </li></ul><br><strong>History:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>The Enigma</strong> - Her back story isn't something she lays out on the table. Getting to know who Evangeline was - that's definitely not her name - isn't easy, and that's the way she likes to keep it. She might be the daughter of some rich Corpo power couple who longed to lash out... or just gutter trash pretty enough to make her way off the streets. It's a mystery. What people think is that she worked as a high-end Joytoy until a favourite 'patron' bought her out. The details of the fallout are vague but there's speculation she seduced him into handing over his eddies, even his apartment wasn't safe, and when she lost interest after getting what she wanted Eva turned to freelance work.</li><li><strong>These Days</strong> - Evangeline isn't exactly a trained killer running around unloading lead into gangsters for eddies, but she can hold her own with her pistol long enough for someone else to help. She made a nice little spot for herself in Afterlife providing the right people with back doors into certain places, helping to acquire tech or weapons, etc. Of course, if she's needed as distracting arm candy or backup she won't shirk the chance to come along for a ride...</li></ul><br><strong>Relationships/Connections:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>Vane Redbeard</strong> - There have been glances, maybe touches that lingered a bit too long to simply be friendly in a place like Night City. It's clear that she holds some affection for him but to what degree is still unknown. Regulars at Afterlife have their assumptions though no one's had the <em>cojones</em> to ask Eva herself.</li></ul><br><strong>Additional Details:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Eva has a nice apartment downtown in the City Centre. She drops by now and again to recharge or take clients. Otherwise, she does most of her work out of Afterlife and has sufficient protection there.</li></ul><br><strong>Weapons/Equipment:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Kang Tao A-22B smart pistol</li></ul><br><strong>Cyberware:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Eva has no (known) modifications to her person except the obvious electric violet eyes indicative of high-end Kiroshi Optics.</li></ul><br><div align="center">(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/13/1e/75/131e7561787e6f8889a8563261c73cc2.jpg)(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/a0/4b/1a/a04b1a45fb235c3515bad5379481d063.jpg)</div>

Her movements are swift and acrobatic-like, which makes sense since she used to be a dancer. However, she also uses close-range pistols as well.</li><li><strong>Dancing:</strong> She was a dancer in the Middle East before enlisting in the military, so her dancing skills are pretty great! When her husband is on business trips and she's bored, she'll usually go and be a stripper at Empathy or Dicky Twister. It looks like pure flesh and blood is a trend that is returning to Night City.</li><li><strong>Cyberpsychosis:</strong> Recruited by Max Tac to specifically Hunt and Kill cyberpsychos, she's extremely good at her job in knowing how to find and treat Cyberpsychosis. She's also doing research on Cyberpsychosis as of this moment.</li></ul><br><strong>Personality:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>Adrenaline Junkie</strong>: Zahra values high octane, blood pumping situations above all else. Well, that is until she retired from all of that at least. However, nowadays she still takes jobs from fixers, but only on request, and only if it gets her blood pumping.</li><li><strong>Tease:</strong> Zahra is a tease, why? Because it excites her and gets her blood pumping. She enjoys walking around Pacifica in the dead of night, wearing the most....not appropriate outfits for the thrill of possibly being attacked.</li><li><strong>Minimal Cyberware:</strong> The reason? She hated when Fixers would just randomly call her at every corner or when she walked into a new district. Furthermore, the more Cyberware one has, the more likely they succumb to cyberpsychosis. She is not a stranger to losing people to cyberpsychosis. So she has the minimal amount of Cyberware possible.</li></ul><br><strong>History:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Born in the Middle East, Zahra was trained in the military before being scouted and transferred by Night City's Max Tac for her excellence in dealing with Cyberpsychos in the Middle East. As such, Zahra speaks with a rather thick and charming Persian accent. Her accent and speech are 100% understandable.</li><li>She was in the military from the ages of 16 to 21.</li><li>She was in Max Tac for about 3 years before quitting and becoming a solo. She quit because she wasn't keen on flatlining every single cyberpsycho they ran across. </li><li>As a solo, she earned the nickname "The Desert Rose," for being from the Desert and constantly wearing Rose-colored lipstick. Her expertise in combat made her an absolute fortune and was/is one of the most sought-after mercs in Night City. She was a Solo for roughly a decade before "retiring" at the age of 34, which is where she is now. She frequently worked with a team of Ex Max Tac and Ex Trauma Team members during her time as a solo. However, whereas they were decked out in Cyberware, all she had were her Kiroshi's, Maneuvering Systems and the Militech "Falcon" Sandevistan Mk.6, which meant she was still largely flesh and bone.</li><li>She met a corpo in one of her missions and has since married him, although with no plans to start a family any time soon.</li><li>On occasion, when she's bored and her husband is out of town, which is a lot, she would dance as a stripper in nightclubs. Gotta get the adrenaline pumping somehow.</li><li>Although retired, she'll still take jobs from fixers if they give her adrenaline-pumping fun.</li></ul><br><strong>Relationships/Connections:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>Afterlife:</strong> A legendary solo nicknamed "The Desert Rose." Legendary because she was one of the few solos that refused to use augmentations, or at least, the most minimal possible. Most fixers within the city know her and her clout, which means that it's easy for her to get jobs for herself or for others.</li><li><strong>Corpo Husband:</strong> Her husband is a corpo. A high-ranking Militech Corpo at that, which means that Zahra has access to an obscene amount of wealth. She drives the hippest cars, wears the nicest and most expensive clothes one can buy. Her favorite vehicles to drive are "her" Rayfield Caliburn as well as her Nazare. Also, she has a ton of Corpo connections!</li><li><strong>Max Tac:</strong> As an Ex Max Tac officer, she has some clout within the force, able to get information from older allies and the such.</li></ul><br><strong>Weapons/Equipment:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>Custom Arasaka Thermal Broadsword:</strong> Her corpo and Max Tac connections allowed her to get a custom-made broadsword that is heavily inspired by the coveted Thermal Katana. This weapon is pretty much a prototype.</li><li><strong>Militech M-10AF:</strong> Custom Made Militech M-10AF, a gift from her then Corpo boyfriend turned husband. She names it Thorn.</li><li><strong>Militech M-76e Omaha:</strong>Custom Made Militech M-76e Omaha, a gift from her then Corpo boyfriend turned husband. She names it Blaze.</li></ul><br><strong>Cyberware:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>Kiroshi Optics MK.3:</strong> Hidden under her Eyepatch, is her Kiroshi Optics MK.3 ocular system.</li><li><strong>Maneuvering System:</strong> The best way to compliment her acrobatic abilities is with a nervous system update that allows her to perform acrobatic actions mid-air!</li><li><strong>Militech "Falcon" Sandevistan Mk.6:</strong> The newest prototype to the "Falcon" line of Sandevistan's from Militech. </li></ul><br><strong>Additional Details:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>She wears an Eyepatch on the right side of her face. An Injury from her Max Tac days.</li><li>She has henna tattoo sleeves. They don't mean anything to her, she just thinks they look cool. </li><li>Despite her very male-oriented/dominated lifestyle, she is very much still feminine. She often wears a light layer of Dark Rose-colored lipstick that goes with the beauty mark on her upper left lip. She also wears nail polish, generally black nail polish for her long fingernails and toenails (not long).</li></ul>
