Ulster
Click Here to jump straight to the character sheet
Ulster is the street name of a Shadowrunner from the sprawl of Seattle, who has joined a Go-gang in LA (CalFree).
Since he is a Shadowrunner first, a ganger second, and a Street 'Samurai' on top of that, he carries an impressive amount of weaponry, and a bunch of armor too. The most normal things to find on him is an Ares Predator III (pistol), Ares Alpha (assult rifle w/ mini-grenade launcher), and a nodachi (6-foot katana-like sword). Because of a recent accident, Ulster has a full set of replacement cyberlimbs, which are intricately scrollworked and highlighted so he looks like the picture. To keep all that drek covered, he wears a grey Secure Greatcoat (Like a long-coat, but thicker and made of wool on the outside) with a 2-foot tall embbroidered logo on the back (the penguin itself is a foot-tall), which can be seen below. On the shoulder is a patch displaying the flag of the California Free State, despite his disrespect for the 'leader' of CalFree, General Saito (recently of the Japanese Imperial Marines). A LUG is a Matrix Users Group who all use the latest kernel of Linux (currently in version 12.4.1).
