=Character Information=
This twenty-two year old human archery genius is tricking and innovating his way to becoming the fastest and most reliable transport in Seattle. A London sprawl transplant, Courier makes most of his money running goods - and people - for corporate executives. Many times it's documents that need to get where they are going without a hiccup, but he is building a reputation for being a man who can get whatever those who hire his services want while keeping it under the radar. He may not think much of the clients, but their nuyen spends the same as any other. With his low-tech profile and developing keen eye to discern authentic goods from forgeries, he is well on his way to becoming a decent fence and forger himself someday. The charisma and polish, well... That'll have to come later. He's more about fast moves than fast talk.

===Goals===
*Live fast.
*Be great.
*Profit.
*Die pretty.
 

==Background==
Not much is known about this runner beyond his exploits in Seattle and the reputation for his unusual weapon skills that precede him from the London haven.

|-
|Limitbreaker
|Acrobatic Defender + Aptitude (Archery) + Natural Athlete + High Pain Tolerance 1 + Pie Iesu Domine, Dona Eis Requiem
|He swings through cities with the greatest of ease: not only does Courier substitute his Gymnastics + AGI in place of his usual WIL when utilising Full Defence, he also gains a +2 modifier to all Gymnastics and Running tests. Because he pushes his body to the limit every day like many elite athletes - "No Pain, No Gain!" - , his body never completely has time to heal. Because he is constantly striving for physical perfection, he starts every run with one spent box of Physical damage. This has given him the ability to endure discomfort and pain, which means that he ignores 1 box of damage per rating point when calculating wound modifiers. His experimentation with Aikido and Kyujutsu are elevating his already prodigious bowmanship talents.

|Say Less
|Aptitude (Archery) + Creature of Comfort (Middle) + Did You Just Call Me Dumb? + Signature
|The downside of being top of class so young is acquiring the ego that goes with it. For Courier, that comes out in his silence. He's not a man of many words, and those he does say tend to come across as patronising, especially to veteran runners and Johnsons. He has a taste for the finer things in life, prefering a High lifestyle, but comfortable in a Middle one. Luxury brings too many eyes and too many people, and Low or below can't afford the amenities that help him stay in peak physical condition. Or cover the DocWagon subscription that safeguards him from any truly damaging incidents. He's so confident in his ability to outpace and outwit the competition or any opfors that his unusual arrowheads leave a very unique wound pattern: not that there are all that many archers loose in the city to begin with... Oh, well. They can't kill what they can't catch.

|-
|Brighter Tomorrow; Community Forward
|Redmond Rejuvenation Project is work experience and effort supporting her efforts to build her own co-op and shamanic grove. She works with the dryad Charybdis to maintain a small seed bank at one location of the Seattle exclave library, but she wishes to expand the program. She keeps this goal quiet and entirely separate from her shadowrunning, but she links up with other elves and individuals who wish to build stronger communities together within the exclave. This also includes supporting HMHVV infected individuals through patronage and work with organizations that employ people with the virus.
|
|-
|Cost to Climb
|Her work in the entertainment industry has thus far not hindered her shadowrunning, especially since she early on took jobs related to Virtual Disney. She wants her career to keep climbing, but worries if it does that will increase the odds of her being recognized. Additionally, she worries that her Horizon fixer could always double-cross her. She is curious about Flash Star!, especially Axilia Selmer, but fears that the company's goal of achieving AA might make her susceptible to recruitment - and potentially extraction - if she pursues this.
|
|-
|Left for Dead
|Born in Tir na nOg and immigrating to Tir Tairngire, Dice's family moved again to Los Angeles where she was orphaned around age eleven. She feels lucky that her parents were SINless. She feels less lucky that they were both human and angry to have the misfortune of a dryad for a daughter. Had they survived, Dice suspects she might have found herself in corporate hands. She never discusses this, but what Dice herself does not know is that her parents did not die after El Infierno. They simply abandoned her to the chaos and violence of the rioting.
|
|-
|Never Forget (Big Regret)
|Though she believes that no living person, even her long-time Fixer, is aware of it, teenage Dice killed another teenager in Los Angeles while coming to terms with her Awakened abilities. It was meant to be more of a non-lethal payback before she realized that she could actually force people to abandon their own free will in addition to simple influence and mind-bending. The prank gone badly wrong taught her the cost of manipulation, and is a large part of what informs her current ethics around how she handles spells that control others. It has also driven her to pursue nuance between illusion and influence, and total control spells. She does use more overwhelming control spells and also acknowledges that people make their own choices on what they do, where they spend their time, etc. Still, even if it is impossible to account for everything, she is loathe to kill when not required. Street non-combatants - especially young mages - will find her a potential source of protection if they are being harmed or hunted by others. The dual sense of power and horror upon discovery that her talents could be deadly instead of transient still haunt her: that blood will always be on her hands.

[[Category:Runs]] 

==Summary==
In which the runner band Blood in the Boardroom forms and gives their first public performance at The Hole Story.

==Background==
[[Dice]] and [[Tennessee Funk]] have a pre-existing relationship. They've discussed before the idea of getting a band together, fulfilling one of Mekoz's long held dreams. Not just a way to make music, but a way to inspire anti-corporate sentiment and find like minded people. As an event planner and general socialite of Seattle, Dice has knows some people at the Family affiliated Stuck's Carvnival. She secures a spot during off-hours, getting clearance to have band tryouts in their lovely cabaret side-stage.

==The Meet==
Dice and TF arrive first, fiddling with the sound equipment and loading some things in from outside. The Stuck's staff is friendly, and varyingly competent. There's Jimmy, a heavier middle aged security guard, and Walter, a twenty something janitor with an unrequited crush on Dice.

A small smattering of people attend the audition, contacts out of both runner's phonebooks. Some more shadow-side than others. Some more talented than others. The first notable attendee is [[Obsidian]]. She arrives, and is immediately pulled to the side by Dice to gossip about the possibly torrid details of Mekoz's apparent affinity for dryads. The pair try to get the sound equipment working, but end up just strong-arming Walter into handling it for them. He's no expert, but he knows enough.

During her audition, Obsidian plays a number of pieces on her keyboard, showing a vast range of musical knowledge and talent. After a few songs, Mekoz jumps in to harmonize. They are more compatible than it would readily seem, and the fit feels easy, and natural.

Later on, [[Hotdog]] is arriving well into the listed time. Jaime is here, too, trying to learn to drive. On her arrivial, Hotdog gets into a tiff with Jimmy the security guard, who makes her lug her own equipment (a drumset) into the building. Hotdog shows off her lovecraftian mentor's mask, and plays her heart out with the assistance of some magical enhancements. The crew jams together for a bit and soft-launches becoming a 'real' band.

==The Plan==
Don Rosenthal, an old punk cowboy, is a frequent fixture of Seattle's alternative scenes. While ornery and decrepit, Don has a fiery spirit in his heart. Mekos has seen him before, hanging out at the back of shows with the other old fogeys or sitting backstage helping a young guitarist finger out some problematic tune. Don will be the first to admit that his folksy personal styles don't much align with the band, but he's just happy to hear the kids making some noise. He offers a little favor: if the band can get their act together in time, Don can make a call to a local mostly-Ork bar, The Hole Story, and get them in for the monthly show next week. They agree.

The band deliberates for a while, settling on "Blood in the Boardroom" as a name, with some firmly anti-corporate symbolism front and center. As far as music goes, it's a mixture of Tennessee Funk originals and cover songs. For special effects, a paint-grenade of fake blood is secured, among other things.

==The Run==
At the show, BitB is the middle act, sandwiched between (literal) punk kids Mousetrap and the local favorites Concrete Teeth. The leader of Mousetrap comes over before the show, and gets some sagely advice and encouragement from the band. Even more importantly, the band has free beer for the night! They also meet the owner of The Hole Story, a guy called Bruce.

During the show, Mousetrap does well! This being their second show, it's a fair bit better than their first one was. The PCs go on next, with a truly legendary performance. Their heightened skill and grace is infectious and potent, rising the flutter of rebellion and belief in even the most stone-hearted of attendees. Closing out the show, Concrete Teeth deliver a rock-solid performance, with less talent and inspiration, but a reliable sort of feel that comes from years of playing together.

Afterwards, Bruce and Don Rosenthal congratulate the Band wholeheartedly. Mekoz tells Don they should even try playing together sometime, and Dice pecks him on the cheek.

Hotdog shares a older sibling kind of moment with the Mousetrap kids, encouraging and validating them. Everyone drinks and relaxes and dances the rest of the night away.

==Aftermath==
Blood in the Boardroom is here! They have a positive relationship with established punk scene regulars, and are quickly spreading as a new underground hit. "You just had to be there!"

==Rewards==
Milk Run (5 RVP)
* 3 Karma
* 1 Street Cred
* 2+2 CDP
* Optionally take Perfect Time (5 RVP) or Inspired (4 RVP) from above rewards.
* Optionally take [[Don Rosenthal]] as a C1 / L2 contact (3 RVP) from above rewards.

==Game Quotes==

==Player After Action Reports (AARs)==
===[[Hotdog]]===
"Holdin' auditions for a punky act at a fuckin' classy casino of all places is still fuckin' stupid, but I ain't gonna deny that these drekheads can play. Been wanting to get in on a regular project for a hot minute now, still kinda shocked it happened. We fuckin' killed it at our first gig, stardom should come any day if we can keep it up."

===[[Obsidian]]===
"Fufu...seeing some old faces, new faces...and Hotdog....Well, Dice seems to enjoy it, so I'll stay and see where this goes~"
