Appearance: A large troll (whoever heard of a small one?!?) carrying a nasty looking halberd with engravings of a mystical sort.

History: The firstborn son of an affluent Chinese family,Samuel Wei-jin Chang grew up knowing the luxuries of upper class life. Living high in the risers away from what his father called the Scum of the Sprawl, he never was in want. The opposite in fact were true. As an infant, the elven maid would come running at his every cry, and his needs provided, desires catered, and wishes fulfilled. The boy learned quickly of power and control. Samuel was also taught the "basics" of living by his parents during these tender years -- such things as how to eat properly with chopsticks, standing tall, and studying hard. Desiring to pass on his experience to the younger ones, from an early age his father would bring him along with his younger brother and sister to the social occassions with Fuchi International and Sony Cybersystems, his father's largest business partners.

When it was discovered during a routine entrance examination for the private pre-school enrollment that he had the seeds of magic, the celebration at the house was grander than at the announcement of his birth! The best magical tutorship was hired to foster the ability, and Samuel quickly showed himself not only to be a voracious learner of the theroies, but also extremely skilled in the ways of manipulating the powers. It was during these training "sessions" which often lasted days, that self-control was added to his arsenal.

2044 was the year. When Samuel began growning and his voice began changing, his family assumed it was early puberty for the 9 year old. In fact, his father increased the magical tutoring for his son for it was common knowledge that during those years not only did the physical body begin to grow, but so did the innate magics present in children -- and with the powers that had already manifested, the potential was enormous! However, as his face began to become misshapen and the boy continued to grow so did the suspicions. Yet, it was impossible that the boy could be anything but human -- there was not once trace of tainted blood in the family line. The change was evident enough though, and the private tutoring sessions which started out as gifts from a proud father turned into prison to isolate the youth from "normal" humanity. The family visits to the training lodge where he had gone for advanced studies decreased. As did the vid calls. In time, the denials could not stand against the fact that the boy's body started to appoach and surpass his father's bodyguards in size and muscle. In December of that year, upon returning for the holiday celebrations, he was turned away at the lobby of the skyscraper his family owned. Screaming for his father brought the aged man down who looked at the boy, and told the guards that he didn't "recognize this thing." The sight of the 2.5 meter 9 year old troll crying in the lobby attracted the attention of the guards who were tasked with "removing the Scum". Samuel ran.

He ran all night until he was back at the site of the tutor's lodge, where he was informed that the line of credit was cancelled and no further training could occur without more funds.

He ran from the private sector security who chased him from his warm sleeep next to the furnances. He ran from the normals who were repulsed at his sight. He ran from the go-gangs who were looking for a trophy the size of a troll head. He ran until he could run no more and chased no more. That was when he was found by Wraith, the leader of the Spectres. They were known as the whiz go-gang, and most of the other gangs gave a wide berth and more respect to them then one'd expect for such a small crew. Under their protection, the young boy learned to survive the streets and use his abilities in a different way.

With the Spectres, Sam often went along on various "jobs" for the occasion corp who needed a team low laying enough that they would go to Puyallup to use a gang. After a while, Sam, or the Grim Reaper as he became to be called started taking out "independent contracts." As his experience running the shadows grew, so did his reputation as being a subtle yet ultimately efficacious asset -- either alone or part of an elite team. Runners have also begun to give The Reaper respect for his stubborness in refusing to "cross-over" to work for the corps. Rather, he is known as being particularly ruthless against the large corps that he is contracted against, going out of his way to hurt them, whether it be in their finances or their reputation. For those "in the know" he is also notoriously willful (or stubborn, depending on who you ask) -- which may be one reason he always finishes what he sets his mind on.

Of the official records that's been compiled of The Reaper, he is known to be a part of the Spectres in Puyallup and to use magic extensively. In addition he has been seen to have a wide breadth of magical talent from knowledge to usage, theory to history, although how he acquired such information leads many to believe he is corp trained. In particular, it is known that he prefers to spend much of his time in Astral space meeting with other Awakened souls in "social meets". Attempts at "personel pruning" while in that realm have proven to be universally unsuccessful.

Game: Shadowrun is a great cyberpunk type of game. Like other games in the genre, it sets out to examine what humanity really is and the role of corporations in daily life. It's a way of examing ourselves through the use of a setting far in the future. The Reaper is a runner in the trouble times of 2061 when Seattle has been occupied with UCAS forces.

Samuel 'The Doc' Thomson (Level 2): (Human, 39 years old, Mentor) Samuel introduced Sharon to the shadows. He is known to have a close eye on the corporate world and to find the right people for his network of connections and possible associates and business partner. Being a mixture of a Fixer, Johnson and information broker, he gained influence in both, the corporate world and the shadows. Sharon is one of his 'assets' and he uses her either to retrieve information or to make contacts with informants. 2.

Thomas Harrington (Level 2): (Human, 28 years old, Detective at Lone Star) They both know each other since they studied Computer Science at the MITT. Tom was recruited by Lone Star for their computer crime division. He will not risk his career for Sharon, however, their affair during the University still means that he will help Sharon as long as his position within the Star is not under jeopardy. 4. Alexandre 'Sasha' Duval (level 2): (Human, 61 years old, Senior Management at Saeder-Krupp) Even though this mega-corporation has no official office in Seattle, they have some representatives there to control the interests of the big dragon in the city. Sasha Duval (french-german origin) knows Sharon since her childhood. When she lost her job, he tried to recruit her, however, he was to late. He keeps a close eye on her activities and will use the first best opportunity to get her into SK-corporation, especially since he knows about her 'other' talents. He will carefully disguise his future plans concerning Sharon. Sharon sees him as an old friend of her family and does not suspect anything about Sasha's plans for her. 5. Michael 'Dark Wolf' Manatowy (Level 1): (Ork, 36 years old, Street Samurai) An Amerindian who is an urban predator, following the path of the wolf. He is a skilled urban warrior using his magical abilities instead of body implants. The two did some runs together in the past. After some unsuccessful runs both had to hide in the Salish-Shidhe. After the both moved back to Seattle, they seperated but they are still in close contacts to help each other. He lives in Ravenna and he has close ties to the Ork Underground. He hangs out most of his time in a metahuman dominated bar (mainly orks, however, everyone is welcome except humans, elfs get a strange look but every metahuman is under the protection of the owner, an Ork called James). Why he spends his time in this place is unknown but it is rumoured that the place is one of the many entrances to the Ork Underground. 6. Jack Kegan (level 1): (Human, 38 years old, Street Doc) Sharon knows Jack Kegan since a run a few months ago, when she and Michael Manatowy needed medical treatment after a bad run. Jack is one of those many street docs, providing health care in the barrens and to people, which can't go to proper hospitals. He doesn't have the most advanced equipment but he makes his money with people, which can't afford questions. He doesn't ask questions and hardly talks at all. His reputation within the shadowrunner's community is quite good. 7. Frank Michels (level 1): (Human, 32 years old, Fixer, Tacoma) Frank Michels is the typical fixer, always willing to sell something for the right price, no matter if information's guns or other equipment are requested. He also manages to get his share with supplying contracts to runners he knows or looting some hot stuff. His reputation is that one of a straight player, no double crossing from his side, he knows that if he does, he is dead. He gets in contact with Sharon by using her pager. 8. Delta Centaur (Level 1): (Ork, 28 years old, Combat Decker) One of the many shadowrunners Sharon knows. Delta Centaur , a combat decker, still owns Sharon since she saved his life during a run against Aztechnology (She pulled his plug out early enough to prevent his brain from being fried). 9. Robert Goldstein (Level 1): (Elf, 51 years old, Lawyer) A contact which could be useful in future occasions, especially during those hard times at the moment. Robert Goldstein, a lawyer specialised in metahuman rights will defend everyone, especially if the paycheque is high enough or if he gets enough media attention. He openly opposes the new city politics against the SINless people. He sees the opportunity to become an even more high profile lawyer and political player when he supports the SINless rights. Robert Goldstein knows Sharon due to some 'jobs' she did for his office. 10. Costas Koutsontakis (Level 1): (Troll, 37 years old, Middle Management of Cyprus Shipping and Oil (C.S.O. Inc.)) A highly intelligent Troll and successful manager of a seedy shipping company. Costas Koutsontakis is rumoured to have close contacts to smugglers. Other rumours suggest that Cyprus Shipping (C.S.O. Inc.) is the front of an international smuggling ring. Nothing is proven and corporations use Cyprus Shipping for their 'non-official' cargo's and thus C.S.O. Inc. is somehow protected from too much trouble. Costas employs shadowrunners either to secure shipments or to retrieve information about the competition. Sharon did some courier work between him and 'Doc' Thomson. 11. Greg Hannes (Level 1): (Human, 36, Barman and Manager of "Henry's") Greg Hannes is the typical Manager of a nice bar/restaurant where pilots and business people have lunch, dinner or just a drink between or after working times. He also knows many of the rumours in his area and he passes some useful information he hears in his bar to the right people for the right amount of cash. 12. Andrew Miller (level 1): (Human, 31 years old, Middle Management at Novatech) The two met in one of those big night clubs and meet from time to time to go clubbing. Andrew thinks that Sharon is just another corporate woman who spends her money in trendy night-clubs to meet other people. He enjoys her company, and he has her pager number to get in contact. 13. Sanchez Garcia (level 1): (Human, 45 years old, Barkeeper) Sanchez is a barkeeper who knows all the clientele which is attractive enough for him to remember, male and female alike. He is also on the payroll of the yaks and function as a middleman between clients and suppliers of exquisite merchandise, ranging from the most expensive BTL's over antiques to exquisite prostitutes. He knows Sharon from her frequent visits and thinks she is one of those girls trying to score in the club. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Lifestyles Section:---------------------------------------------------- --- Lifestyle: (Notes & Details)----------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, She has to pay her rent soon! Sharon lives under her real SIN in a nice middle-class apartment in Capitol Hill (Downtown Seattle). It is a single bedroom flat with a kitchen, bath and living room. The flat is decorated with Modern American art and the furniture is Swedish style. Capitol Hill is a nice bohemian neighbourhood with cheap rents making this place popular with Artists, young professionals and metahumans. There are lots of coffeehouses and restaurants around. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Physical Profile:------------------------------------------------------ -- (What you look like, manor of dress etc)------------------------------ -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sharon is a very attractive and charismatic young woman of Anglo-American heritage. She is very fit and has an athletic and very well formed body. Sharon has blond long hair, blue eyes and a nice face with a natural tan (183 cm tall & 75 kg heavy). Her clothes are all tight fitting and fit perfectly to her figure. She prefers attractive tight dresses or business suits to increase her effect on men. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Mental Profile:-------------------------------------------------------- -- (Outlook on life, likes, dislikes etc.)------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sharon doesn't really know the SINless life. She knows many fellow runners, which do not own a SIN. Most of them would neither want a SIN nor would they apply for it due to their criminal records or traceability. Personally she has no objections concerning SINs for SINless and she can understand the people. In case of a civil war, Sharon would try to keep herself out of the line of fire. Being a metahuman herself, she knows the difficulties a metahuman has in society. She has a favourable position since elves have a better reputation in society than orks or trolls. She thinks that all metahumans should be equal and thus has regular heated discussions with fellow elves who consider the elven race as superior. She has dated humans, elves and orks and has no problem with personal or sexual relations with other races. She considers dwarfs as too small to have a sexual relationship and she has mixed feelings about Trolls. On one side is she afraid of having a sexual relationship with them due to their weight and appearance on the other side is she curious about the rumours. Fear and thrill are always to strong psychological aspects. Normally she works together with all kind or races. As fellow runners she favours trolls and orks, especially in combat situations due to the intimidation factor of two troll bodyguards/samurais. Being half French-canadian and half UCAS and being raised in a multinational corporate culture she doesn't really care about national or regional politics unless they create job opportunities or her status of living is in jeopardy. Sharon is sure that she could life in an independent Seattle, a Shalish Seattle or in a UCAS Seattle. Sharon has mixed feelings about the megacorps or corporations in general. She grew up in that kind of culture and lifestyle but she also knows how it is when someone drops out of it. She decided after her drop out that it was time to free herself from the corporate lifestyle, however, her skills and her knowledge brought her back toward it, both, to work for and against corporations. Being a freelancer allows her greater freedom and flexibility but also means unregular paycheques and an unsecured financial future. Stealing is not a way of life in Sharons opinion, however, she recognised that stealing is for some members of society the only way to survive. It is a necessity in today's world and everyone steals, no matter if there are politicians, religious leaders, corporate employees, megocorps or SINless people. However, she sees a difference in organising information's or commodities but this is just a personal justification of her. Killing someone is necessary to survive in various situations. If someone tries to kill you, you better kill him first or... well, Sharon will kill if her life is in danger or if she is forced and in this case she will use deadly force. However, she learned that there are many other ways of dealing with problems than just drawing the gun and shooting someone. Especially with security guards or cops who always enjoy the sight of a beautiful woman and the flirting... Sharon would not kill unarmed, peaceful man, women or children. Hurting people is a necessity in this profession. Hurting is still the better option than killing and hurting starts when beating someone up, hitting someone unconscious, intimidating or stunning. There are various forms and definition of hurting someone and mostly they are the better option than, for example, killing someone. Selling someone into slavery is something, which would considerably be against Sharon's ethics. Being forced to do something like this would create serious moral problems for Sharon, especially if the person would be a young kid. Deliver them unwillingly to a corporation comes very near to selling someone into slavery. However, the living conditions of a scientist who is extracted from one corporation to another one are much better than those of a girl sold to a pornography and prostitution ring. Considering those circumstances would make this kind of job a bit easier, however, Sharon would still have considerable moral troubles about this. Kidnapping a person is also similar to the above two topics. The two above mentioned cases mean to kidnap someone and sell him to someone else, whereas kidnapping means to kidnap someone and sell him back. Moral concerns would still exist. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- - BackGround:------------------------------------------------------------ -- (Personal History)---------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sharon McNeil was born in Quebec, 28. November 2032, as the daughter of a middle corporate manager. She grew up in the well-protected corporate environment. When she was 12, the family moved to the UCAS. She was educated in a private (single sex) school. After she finished her high school, she was admitted to MITT to study a BA in Computer Science & Business Management. This new environment where she was the first time in real close contact with the opposite sex had a significant impact on her social development. She found out that with her look and charisma boys and men would nearly do what ever she wanted. She soon learned how to seduce her male fellow students to her advantage. Soon she needed this skill to stay at MITT. The first blow back in her life was when her parents got divorced when she was 15. Her mum had enough from all the affair's of Sharon's dad. She moved back to Quebec, but without her daughter since a kid would only disrupt social life (she wasn't better than her husband). Sharon had to go to a private boarding school and spend only her vacations together with her dad. The next set-back came when the company of her dad discovered that Jonathan McNeil forged the financial data of the company to finance his lifestyle, his affair's and his gambling. Jonathan was fired, charged with fraud and killed just before the trial by an unknown sniper (apparently not only him but the complete management used the companies bank accounts for private expenditure and his trial would have uncovered the scandal). Sasha Duval, an old friend of her mother took care of her financial situation. However, Sharon had to life with the mark of her father. She needed all her charisma to stay in the social clique in University. Using her skills, she managed to get in favour of the male students. When she was 14, her dad introduced her to Combat Pistol Shooting, a sport popular in the UCAS. She learned early to use pistols mainly for target shooting. Her father also taught her pigeon clay shooting, another leisure sport of corporate people. In University she joined the Aikido club and became a skilled master of this East-Asian martial art. During her university time she had a car accident together with another student. After a night out, her friend was driving back home, when they had a high-speed crash with a truck. Sharon needed extensive surgery and a completely new bone structure after that accident. The insurance company paid the extensive and high quality surgery (alpha grade aluminium bone lancing). At an earlier stage she underwent surgery to get a high quality datajack, required for her studies of computer science. After University she found a job with Matrix Consult Inc., an IT consulting firm advising small and medium sized businesses in their matrix design and construction. Sharon worked there for 2 years until Fuchi fired her during a reorganisation of the company after the take-over. She was without a job until Samuel 'Doc' Thomson recruited her for his team of operatives and associates. Thomson's main reason was her knowledge of corporations and her social abilities, which would help her gathering informations in this environment. Since 4 years she works on an occasional basis for him. Reputation: Sharon is known under her street name Dominique 'Snake' Revelle. Most megacorps have a file about her and her activities, either due to the fact that they see her as a possible employee/asset or due to the fact that they suspect her of working against them. However, hard evidences do not exist about her activities but suspicion is high. There are no existing connection between Dominique 'Snake' Revelle and Sharon McNeil, her real SIN except that Duval (SK) and Thompson know her real ID. Lone Star could find out that Sharon and Dominique are identical if they would make a connection between her and Thomas Harrington. However, this would also alarm Duval since he has access to Lone Star files. The reputation of Sharon aka. 'Dominique 'Snake' Revelle' is very good. She is known to be efficient when infiltrating corporations and that no unnecessary casualties happen. ------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- Failed Runs: The first run was against Renraku. The team, a decker, a break & entry expert and Sharon McNeil had to get some data from a small office building in Redmond, to which Renraku shifted some operations after the shutdown of their downtown archeology. They had no problem entering the building due to excellent information provided by the Employer, however, as soon as they managed to get the data from the office, alarms were going of. Somehow it seemed that their Mr Johnson either didn't knew that the removal of certain files would trigger an alarm or he didn't tell them. They barely managed to get out of the Renraku compound but as soon as they checked their treasure, they found out that the files were complete blanks. When they tried to contact their Johnson, the phone number provided didn't work anymore and they found out later, that the phone was disconnected shortly after they accepted the run. It seems like they were set up to test Renraku Security or something else ?!? A few weeks after that run, Sharon accepted an offer the get some documents of a certain Mr. Janssen, a personal assistant to a wealthy New Yorker Businessman. She successfully introduced her self under a faked cover-story to Mr. Janssen, seduced him and after he was deeply asleep, she searched his room. However, she didn't find the required files and later found out, that her employer identified the wrong person. The real Mr. Janssen wasn't in Seattle but in Portland and the wrong one, was a unimportant employee of a Dutch mining corporation, who was in Seattle to discuss future mining contracts with the Salish-Shide Council.
