=Character Information=

===Summary===

A former White Vory Assassin who faked her own death with the help of a mysterious benefactor to escape. With a newfound freedom, years of harsh training and mistreatment, and a magical power that she is more than eager to grow to the pinnacle of what it means to be 'Awakened', she returns to Seattle with a new look. She's come to keep up her own end of the bargain with her savior, Kruger, as well as fulfill that burning craving for revenge that has been building within her since her former mentor had plucked her from her home. She is constantly fighting the sadistic, brutal nature of her magic and the training that both her physical and spiritual mentors have instilled in her since she was a little girl. While she normally appears rather charming, quiet, and humble, she is a ravenous little monster in combat and a narcissist who believes herself to be the worthy ruler of the world.

===Goals===

- Murder her former Mentor, Alexander Abdulov, in the most brutal and sadistic fashion she can think of. Preferably, with her own two hands.

- Destroy the White Vory. At least the ones in Seattle, but maybe just get rid of any kind of 'Vory' who might have the audacity to stand in her way.

- Raise a criminal empire from the smoldering ashes of the Vory. If not for the power or the wealth or her own narcissism, then to rub it in the face of her soon-to-be-dead mentor.

===Goals (that she won't admit)===

- Maybe finally find someone who cares about her and she feels safe with.

- Find out where she came from, where her old family went, and why she was taken.

- Maybe figure out a way to ditch her sadistic compulsions

==Background==
A nameless child was once found wandering in Tir Tairngire at…who knows, 3? 4? The girl wasn’t really noteworthy. A redheaded elf born to some faceless parents, probably left to die when the money dried up, or just kicked out and left unwanted, though the agent who was assigned to look after her didn’t really care. Nothing about that mattered. Just what she could do-what she could be trained for. The girl was 1 in ten thousand-the spark of a mystic adept, according to the diagnostic given by one Alexander Abdulov. A trainer for the White Vory working with their member in the agency, who wanted someone who could be particularly adept at infiltration into high profile environments and taking out targets, especially magical threats. And so the child, dubbed Julianna, was handed over to Alexander and reared in private in London to become their little problem solver. Being magically inclined and trained as a tool by a rather ruthless man, the little elf did not enjoy her time with the Vory, constantly being mistreated. Her hate for him grew with every disciplining strike, and her magical talents grew out of spite. She was raised to see others who were awakened as targets, sheep to the slaughter, and combined with a need for more and a desire to become better, to take more, because she deserved it, it was no wonder that Black Magic took to her so kindly, along with her mentor: A spirit of vengeance, who saw this growing fury in the child and saw an opportunity. He struck a deal with her: follow his guidance, take after him, and he would help set her free. Help her take revenge against Alexander. The perfect chance to end him and destroy everything he cared about, if she were only patient and dutiful.
And oh, how dutiful she was.

Julianna was raised until she was about 18, enough to be a full adult and be a good little assassin for the White Vory in Seattle, where she was shipped off to once her training was complete. With both a spirit of Vengeance whispering in her ears from the astral plane and Alexander’s teachings, she made for quite a solid assassin. She would gain the trust of a target to silence them, or negotiate with other syndicates with cover from snipers, or simply blend in as she took stock of an area. She was rather good at her job, especially with a retainer keeping an eye on her in case the filthy mutt got any ideas. But the thing about being trained to be sneaky your whole life, is that you get very good at deceiving those you’re working with as much as the ones they want you to trick. She bade her time, gently poking around when her retainer couldn’t keep an eye on her, trying to find herself a little opportunity to get the hell out of there. And the way she did it was through a man named Kruger. An older man who seemed quite interested in the state of affairs in Seattle, with his hands in so many different pockets that one wonders how it could be done. The two made a deal: Kruger got the redhead out of her little predicament, though she didn’t state who exactly was holding her down, and little red would come back as his little troublemaker. An eye that blended in to help him spread his net into more…independent businesses. The Shadowhaven, in particular. Too many independent actors were there, and...well, shadowrunners were good to keep an eye on. And so it was agreed.

On May 31st, 2083, as Julianna and her retainer Viktor were working over in Redmond to negotiate work with the Skraacha, when what appeared to be a drive by came about to nail all of the negotiators, on the one day their usual sniper wasn’t there to keep an eye on things. It went bad. They pulled nothing back, even using explosives to make sure everyone there was dead.
Both Julianna and Viktor were killed, their things being later retrieved and destroyed to keep their existence hidden. Meanwhile, wheeled away by Kruger’s contacts, was a heavily damaged little elf. Smiling as she was stabilized. Their scheming would pay off.
She spent half a year getting biosculpted into a very different woman back in Atlanta. Then she was slowly reintroduced into Seattle, brought into Miss Onyx’s line of runners. Being so magically connected, she struck a chord with the woman and they quickly became friends. Slowly working her way up in the world, until the gem of a fixer decided now was the time to let her into the Haven. An advantageous position for the two of them.

She is going to claw, and maim, and tear her way through this place until she’s on top.

== Narrative Significant Qualities ==

===Positive===

<Vory Princess (Bilingual, Too Pretty to Hit)>

Julianna was pretty much raised by the Vory, and during her time under their watch and training she got very good at blending in and disarming the people she would later impale with a highly potent Ice Claw.

<Child of Vengeance (Shark Mentor Spirit)>

While Alexander was her Vory Mentor who taught her to be a good assassin, the nameless spirit of vengeance has been hanging around the little queen since she was a young girl. It's hard to tell whether it's the one influencing her, or she's the one influencing it. But it has certainly helped her in one particular aspect: Incredible amounts of violence.

===Negative===

<Bad Habits, Worse Behavior (PSC: Thrill Seeker, Sadistic, Vindictive, Superhuman Psychosis)>

Julianna was raised for two things: Social infiltration, and making problems the White Vory had disappear. She was raised to associate that with her own value, for that to be what she lived for. And while she had always resisted it to the best of her ability for the sake of her own self importance...she couldn't get rid of it all. She can normally keep herself under control, but that inhuman monster is always lurking under the surface. And one day, it'll come back out again.

<Conniving little Monster (Vendetta/Driven: Her old mentor/Building her criminal empire)>

Now, Tsarina didn't fake her own death and lose almost everything, including her old look which she REALLY LIKED, just to be a subservient little thing to some new fixer again. No, this is for a greater purpose. Vengeance, and grandeur. She will live up to her Alias. That is a promise to herself and to the world.

<Asshole (Did you just call me Dumb?)>

this is...pretty simple. She's a narcissistic black magic practitioner, who has gotten to a point where lying to people is actually too easy now. Sometimes she just...likes to be rude, or coy, or foreshadow what she's gonna do to someone with an innuendo or double entendre. Whatever the case, her words are both the best and worst way to find out what this girl is about. Without being gored, at least.

===Organizations===


Tsarina is absolutely independent at this point, though she is definitely going to be heading things when she gets more...situated.

===Allies===

Kruger is a...tentative ally. Though she doesn't view him with any warmth, which is likely mutual. Means to an end.

+1 Black Lodge

+1 EVO

+5 White Vory

===Enemies===

The White Vory are her greatest enemy. She views them as part of why she is the way she is, and also as a massive obstacle in her being able to embrace her true potential and pull the world by her strings.

In particular, she has an absolute disdain for her former mentor, and for the Seattle Branch in general.

==SINs==
R6: Catherine Siobhan (SK Industries; Mystic Adept; Private Investigator)

==Appearance==

=== Clothing ===

Tsarina is a 5'7" elven woman with fair skin, long silver hair, and gentle green eyes. She likes to keep her hair pinned in a ponytail when she's out and about, but at home or when relaxing she almost never does so. If she does she's expecting work. When in an intense fight or when she is relishing in her sadism, her mentor's influence causes her pupils to hyperdilate, and her rather narrow looking eyes become disturbingly engorged as she locks onto her prey with inky black pearls. She often has a lightly parted smile or smirk on her face. If it widens, that is a sign that you are not going to like how the future develops.

Tsarina loves her little dresses, and is almost always in a rather formfitting one when she goes out. She'll pair this with long gloves and boots, and her black little hoodie that has small little ear buds on the side and on top that makes it look like she has little frills. Most of her outfits nowadays are some mix of dark blues, blacks, and grays. Not her favorite but it fits better with her current hair. Oh, and she likes to wear extravagant undergarments, particularly those that come up past the cuts in her dresses. She's found it's particularly enticing to people who are susceptible to being manipulated by pretty girls.

===Matrix Persona===

Very simple, a little wisp with flames out of the 'head' that resemble a ponytail. Very blue.

=Character Information=

===Summary===

A former KE officer with strange abilities and stranger visions that she doesn't really understand, Asura is a muscle who focuses on taking the brunt of the punishment from OPFOR for those she's working with. Her cybernetic body is moderately strong and helps her perform exceptional feats of marksmanship. She's well versed in security tactics and has a great tenacity for getting the job done. Though, she can be very antisocial even on her best days, and her time as a former officer has led to her being abrasive towards most other runners. But she has to deal with that now. The things in her life she can't explain and the feelings that arise from it can't be overlooked. She left everything behind to find those answers. She can't stop now, even if she disagrees with the ethics.
===Goals===

- Find out the truth about her past

- Learn what it is that gives her these strange visions

- Work with Bolt to try and make this place better, even if it feels wrong to work with shadowrunners

===TOP PRIORITY===

- F I N D B E Z A I S E N

==Background==

“Asura”

That was the first thing she said when a couple of Knight Errant officers picked her up at the edge of Seattle’s border when they asked her for her name. Poor girl was singed, broken, and crippled all over. If it weren’t for one Captain Marcus Avera. A seasoned vet who looked into the strange gray eyes of the dying woman they had brought back from patrols and saw a fighter. A girl with potential. Fierce and determined, even as she couldnt move. He had asked her some questions about herself, what happened to her, what she was doing, but the poor girl didnt know anything. No life, no purpose, no one to turn to. And…the old man felt for her. His own lack of a family, 50 years in…stung. So…he gave the girl a chance to start a new life with a new name, if she could prove her worth. And once they patched her up and replaced her ruined body with a cybernetic one, she did so swimmingly.

The silver-eyed brunette was tested in her new body, and when she proved highly skilled and highly competent with an FBR set up, Captain Avera had her sent back to Detroit to serve as an officer of the Knight Errants in the home base. A cushy job where he could ensure she received the care needed and had the amenities to adjust to a new, shocking life. But she took to the matter of a protector with unexpected aplomb. It was like she was born for the position, fiercely protective of those under her care, willing to put her life on the line time and time again. The adopted Ellie Avera was a fierce combatant, ruthless in her dismantling of enemy forces and quite skilled and coordinating a small team to take down threats to public safety like shadowrunners or organized criminal organizations. She became well known in the Knights for her service and quick climbing of the ranks. Some thought it was her adopted father’s nepotism, some believed it was her single-minded approach to the force and ability to just keep going. But regardless of how she reached the lips and thoughts of her co-workers, “the Guard Dog Demon” became quite the name in the short time she was in the force. Ellie made quite a life for herself. She often spent her free time with her proud father and those in her unit, enjoyed a relatively well off lifestyle as one of the best in her rank, and felt as if she was making a difference. She was safe when not at work, content to continue this life until she could not any longer.

If only that were true.

In reality, what others did not see was her internal turmoil to make sense of what her eyes showed her. What her mind told her. What her dreams brought her. When she squinted she saw colors from the people around her that felt like she could read them, and slowly began to experiment without understanding what it was. Sometimes when she did that, her ears rang with the hauntingly beautiful calling of “Asura” beckoning her towards…something. And when she dreamed, she dreamed of striking, beautiful eyes, fiery and commanding, staring back at her from a strikingly pale face. It all made Asura’s heart tremble. She had never managed to produce anything magical or empower herself through the astral, so it wasn’t like she was magical, right? So…why? Why these visions? Why does she see and hear things that aren’t really there?

Why is she…longing for more?
Ellie and Marcus both knew that she was experiencing these things for a reason. Something in her past life. Something back in Seattle.And without knowing what…Ellie would never know peace. So, with heavy hearts, Marcus once again sent her away, had her leave the force entirely so she wouldn’t be at their beck and call. To give her the free reign to fix this. Her father gave her the connections she needed to make a difference and get to the bottom of all this-an old comrade of his, Bolt, along with a doctor to help her keep her body well maintained and a supplier for new cyber if she needed it. He let her keep her on duty pistol, as well as helped her smuggle her favorite shotgun to keep her safe. She made her way back to Seattle, an aching in her heart.

There was no turning back now.

== Narrative Significant Qualities ==

===Positive===

<Guard Dog Demon (Legendary Rep, KE Detroit)>

Asura, or Ellie Avera as she was known back in the Knight Errants, managed to make quite a name for herself when she was in the ranks. Her dedication to the job, her sheer ruthlessness, and her willingness to do whatever it took to herself or others to see it done was something else. A lot of people heard some stories about her handle and came up with the nickname since she would basically serve as a client or establishment's guard dog without question.

<The Past is Still Alive (Prototype Transhuman/Biocompatability(Cyberware))>

It was clear to Marcus when he first found the girl that she wasn't exactly normal. Her body had been altered, tailored, but by whom he didn't know. And neither did his newfound daughter. At first that didn't matter to them. But the little oddities stuck out and built up over time. A constant reminder to them both that Asura had something to confront still.

===Negative===

<Haunted by the Unknown ((Driven(Finding out the truth of the visions)/Flashbacks 1 (Fighting against Magic users))>

Every night, she's reminded of something she can't quite remember. Imprinted on her. Something she could never forget. And yet, she can never quite grasp what it is. Who was she before KE? Where did she come from? Why was she crippled when they found her? So, so many questions linger in her mind. She would do anything to find the answers to them. Even if it kills her.

<Former Knight Errant (SINner (Corporate, Ares), Prejudiced (Biased, Common, Criminals))>

Being re-raised as a Knight Errant, fighting against criminal elements, and seeing the only people she knew since she was picked up be injured or worse at the hands of shadowrunners, syndicate members, and gangsters makes it fairly hard for her to interact with those people nowadays. She won't say anything out loud but...she's still a Knight Errant. For now, at least.

=== Clothing ===
A 5'10" FBR woman, her most standout features beyond the heavy cybernetics going from the back of the head and chin down to her replacement toes is her grey eyes. She has chocolatey brown hair, a sweet contrast to her silver, black, and red armor. Often she wears a black hooded coat along with military style boots, pants, and button up shirt to hide her cybernetics for her socialization. She is a rather reserved individual on her free time, especially with those she doesn't fully trust yet as her companions, but on missions she is a rather vicious and upfront woman. On her alone time, she prefers to just keep the clothes off since the cybernetic shell isn't exactly risque and the stuffy feeling bothers her.

A fiery red looking demon with the head of a bloodhound. Insisted upon by her friends back in the force.

=Character Information=

===Summary===

A former White Vory Assassin who faked her own death with the help of a mysterious benefactor to escape. With a newfound freedom, years of harsh training and mistreatment, and a magical power that she is more than eager to grow to the pinnacle of what it means to be 'Awakened', she returns to Seattle with a new look. She's come to keep up her own end of the bargain with her savior, Kruger, as well as fulfill that burning craving for revenge that has been building within her since her former mentor had plucked her from her home. She is constantly fighting the sadistic, brutal nature of her magic and the training that both her physical and spiritual mentors have instilled in her since she was a little girl. While she normally appears rather charming, quiet, and humble, she is a ravenous little monster in combat and a narcissist who believes herself to be the worthy ruler of the world.

===Goals===

- Murder her former Mentor, Alexander Abdulov, in the most brutal and sadistic fashion she can think of. Preferably, with her own two hands.

- Destroy the White Vory. At least the ones in Seattle, but maybe just get rid of any kind of 'Vory' who might have the audacity to stand in her way.

- Raise a criminal empire from the smoldering ashes of the Vory. If not for the power or the wealth or her own narcissism, then to rub it in the face of her soon-to-be-dead mentor.

===Goals (that she won't admit)===

- Maybe finally find someone who cares about her and she feels safe with.

- Find out where she came from, where her old family went, and why she was taken.

- Maybe figure out a way to ditch her sadistic compulsions

==Background==
A nameless child was once found wandering in Tir Tairngire at…who knows, 3? 4? The girl wasn’t really noteworthy. A redheaded elf born to some faceless parents, probably left to die when the money dried up, or just kicked out and left unwanted, though the agent who was assigned to look after her didn’t really care. Nothing about that mattered. Just what she could do-what she could be trained for. The girl was 1 in ten thousand-the spark of a mystic adept, according to the diagnostic given by one Alexander Abdulov. A trainer for the White Vory working with their member in the agency, who wanted someone who could be particularly adept at infiltration into high profile environments and taking out targets, especially magical threats. And so the child, dubbed Julianna, was handed over to Alexander and reared in private in London to become their little problem solver. Being magically inclined and trained as a tool by a rather ruthless man, the little elf did not enjoy her time with the Vory, constantly being mistreated. Her hate for him grew with every disciplining strike, and her magical talents grew out of spite. She was raised to see others who were awakened as targets, sheep to the slaughter, and combined with a need for more and a desire to become better, to take more, because she deserved it, it was no wonder that Black Magic took to her so kindly, along with her mentor: A spirit of vengeance, who saw this growing fury in the child and saw an opportunity. He struck a deal with her: follow his guidance, take after him, and he would help set her free. Help her take revenge against Alexander. The perfect chance to end him and destroy everything he cared about, if she were only patient and dutiful.
And oh, how dutiful she was.

Julianna was raised until she was about 18, enough to be a full adult and be a good little assassin for the White Vory in Seattle, where she was shipped off to once her training was complete. With both a spirit of Vengeance whispering in her ears from the astral plane and Alexander’s teachings, she made for quite a solid assassin. She would gain the trust of a target to silence them, or negotiate with other syndicates with cover from snipers, or simply blend in as she took stock of an area. She was rather good at her job, especially with a retainer keeping an eye on her in case the filthy mutt got any ideas. But the thing about being trained to be sneaky your whole life, is that you get very good at deceiving those you’re working with as much as the ones they want you to trick. She bade her time, gently poking around when her retainer couldn’t keep an eye on her, trying to find herself a little opportunity to get the hell out of there. And the way she did it was through a man named Kruger. An older man who seemed quite interested in the state of affairs in Seattle, with his hands in so many different pockets that one wonders how it could be done. The two made a deal: Kruger got the redhead out of her little predicament, though she didn’t state who exactly was holding her down, and little red would come back as his little troublemaker. An eye that blended in to help him spread his net into more…independent businesses. The Shadowhaven, in particular. Too many independent actors were there, and...well, shadowrunners were good to keep an eye on. And so it was agreed.

On May 31st, 2083, as Julianna and her retainer Viktor were working over in Redmond to negotiate work with the Skraacha, when what appeared to be a drive by came about to nail all of the negotiators, on the one day their usual sniper wasn’t there to keep an eye on things. It went bad. They pulled nothing back, even using explosives to make sure everyone there was dead.
Both Julianna and Viktor were killed, their things being later retrieved and destroyed to keep their existence hidden. Meanwhile, wheeled away by Kruger’s contacts, was a heavily damaged little elf. Smiling as she was stabilized. Their scheming would pay off.
She spent half a year getting biosculpted into a very different woman back in Atlanta. Then she was slowly reintroduced into Seattle, brought into Miss Onyx’s line of runners. Being so magically connected, she struck a chord with the woman and they quickly became friends. Slowly working her way up in the world, until the gem of a fixer decided now was the time to let her into the Haven. An advantageous position for the two of them.

She is going to claw, and maim, and tear her way through this place until she’s on top.

== Narrative Significant Qualities ==

===Positive===

<Vory Princess (Bilingual, Too Pretty to Hit)>

Julianna was pretty much raised by the Vory, and during her time under their watch and training she got very good at blending in and disarming the people she would later impale with a highly potent Ice Claw.

<Child of Vengeance (Shark Mentor Spirit)>

While Alexander was her Vory Mentor who taught her to be a good assassin, the nameless spirit of vengeance has been hanging around the little queen since she was a young girl. It's hard to tell whether it's the one influencing her, or she's the one influencing it. But it has certainly helped her in one particular aspect: Incredible amounts of violence.

===Negative===

<Bad Habits, Worse Behavior (PSC: Thrill Seeker, Sadistic, Vindictive, Superhuman Psychosis)>

Julianna was raised for two things: Social infiltration, and making problems the White Vory had disappear. She was raised to associate that with her own value, for that to be what she lived for. And while she had always resisted it to the best of her ability for the sake of her own self importance...she couldn't get rid of it all. She can normally keep herself under control, but that inhuman monster is always lurking under the surface. And one day, it'll come back out again.

<Conniving little Monster (Vendetta/Driven: Her old mentor/Building her criminal empire)>

Now, Tsarina didn't fake her own death and lose almost everything, including her old look which she REALLY LIKED, just to be a subservient little thing to some new fixer again. No, this is for a greater purpose. Vengeance, and grandeur. She will live up to her Alias. That is a promise to herself and to the world.

<Asshole (Did you just call me Dumb?)>

this is...pretty simple. She's a narcissistic black magic practitioner, who has gotten to a point where lying to people is actually too easy now. Sometimes she just...likes to be rude, or coy, or foreshadow what she's gonna do to someone with an innuendo or double entendre. Whatever the case, her words are both the best and worst way to find out what this girl is about. Without being gored, at least.

R6: Catherine Siobhan (SK Industries; Mystic Adept; Private Investigator)

==Appearance==

=== Clothing ===

Tsarina is a 5'7" elven woman with fair skin, long silver hair, and gentle green eyes. She likes to keep her hair pinned in a ponytail when she's out and about, but at home or when relaxing she almost never does so. If she does she's expecting work. When in an intense fight or when she is relishing in her sadism, her mentor's influence causes her pupils to hyperdilate, and her rather narrow looking eyes become disturbingly engorged as she locks onto her prey with inky black pearls. She often has a lightly parted smile or smirk on her face. If it widens, that is a sign that you are not going to like how the future develops.

Tsarina loves her little dresses, and is almost always in a rather formfitting one when she goes out. She'll pair this with long gloves and boots, and her black little hoodie that has small little ear buds on the side and on top that makes it look like she has little frills. Most of her outfits nowadays are some mix of dark blues, blacks, and grays. Not her favorite but it fits better with her current hair. Oh, and she likes to wear extravagant undergarments, particularly those that come up past the cuts in her dresses. She's found it's particularly enticing to people who are susceptible to being manipulated by pretty girls.

===Matrix Persona===

=Character Information=

===Summary===

A former KE officer with strange abilities and stranger visions that she doesn't really understand, Asura is a muscle who focuses on taking the brunt of the punishment from OPFOR for those she's working with. Her cybernetic body is moderately strong and helps her perform exceptional feats of marksmanship. She's well versed in security tactics and has a great tenacity for getting the job done. Though, she can be very antisocial even on her best days, and her time as a former officer has led to her being abrasive towards most other runners. But she has to deal with that now. The things in her life she can't explain and the feelings that arise from it can't be overlooked. She left everything behind to find those answers. She can't stop now, even if she disagrees with the ethics.
===Goals===

- Find out the truth about her past

- Learn what it is that gives her these strange visions

- Work with Bolt to try and make this place better, even if it feels wrong to work with shadowrunners

===TOP PRIORITY===

- F I N D B E Z A I S E N

==Background==

“Asura”

That was the first thing she said when a couple of Knight Errant officers picked her up at the edge of Seattle’s border when they asked her for her name. Poor girl was singed, broken, and crippled all over. If it weren’t for one Captain Marcus Avera. A seasoned vet who looked into the strange gray eyes of the dying woman they had brought back from patrols and saw a fighter. A girl with potential. Fierce and determined, even as she couldnt move. He had asked her some questions about herself, what happened to her, what she was doing, but the poor girl didnt know anything. No life, no purpose, no one to turn to. And…the old man felt for her. His own lack of a family, 50 years in…stung. So…he gave the girl a chance to start a new life with a new name, if she could prove her worth. And once they patched her up and replaced her ruined body with a cybernetic one, she did so swimmingly.

The silver-eyed brunette was tested in her new body, and when she proved highly skilled and highly competent with an FBR set up, Captain Avera had her sent back to Detroit to serve as an officer of the Knight Errants in the home base. A cushy job where he could ensure she received the care needed and had the amenities to adjust to a new, shocking life. But she took to the matter of a protector with unexpected aplomb. It was like she was born for the position, fiercely protective of those under her care, willing to put her life on the line time and time again. The adopted Ellie Avera was a fierce combatant, ruthless in her dismantling of enemy forces and quite skilled and coordinating a small team to take down threats to public safety like shadowrunners or organized criminal organizations. She became well known in the Knights for her service and quick climbing of the ranks. Some thought it was her adopted father’s nepotism, some believed it was her single-minded approach to the force and ability to just keep going. But regardless of how she reached the lips and thoughts of her co-workers, “the Guard Dog Demon” became quite the name in the short time she was in the force. Ellie made quite a life for herself. She often spent her free time with her proud father and those in her unit, enjoyed a relatively well off lifestyle as one of the best in her rank, and felt as if she was making a difference. She was safe when not at work, content to continue this life until she could not any longer.

If only that were true.

In reality, what others did not see was her internal turmoil to make sense of what her eyes showed her. What her mind told her. What her dreams brought her. When she squinted she saw colors from the people around her that felt like she could read them, and slowly began to experiment without understanding what it was. Sometimes when she did that, her ears rang with the hauntingly beautiful calling of “Asura” beckoning her towards…something. And when she dreamed, she dreamed of striking, beautiful eyes, fiery and commanding, staring back at her from a strikingly pale face. It all made Asura’s heart tremble. She had never managed to produce anything magical or empower herself through the astral, so it wasn’t like she was magical, right? So…why? Why these visions? Why does she see and hear things that aren’t really there?

Why is she…longing for more?
Ellie and Marcus both knew that she was experiencing these things for a reason. Something in her past life. Something back in Seattle.And without knowing what…Ellie would never know peace. So, with heavy hearts, Marcus once again sent her away, had her leave the force entirely so she wouldn’t be at their beck and call. To give her the free reign to fix this. Her father gave her the connections she needed to make a difference and get to the bottom of all this-an old comrade of his, Bolt, along with a doctor to help her keep her body well maintained and a supplier for new cyber if she needed it. He let her keep her on duty pistol, as well as helped her smuggle her favorite shotgun to keep her safe. She made her way back to Seattle, an aching in her heart.

There was no turning back now.

== Narrative Significant Qualities ==

===Positive===

<Guard Dog Demon (Legendary Rep, KE Detroit)>

Asura, or Ellie Avera as she was known back in the Knight Errants, managed to make quite a name for herself when she was in the ranks. Her dedication to the job, her sheer ruthlessness, and her willingness to do whatever it took to herself or others to see it done was something else. A lot of people heard some stories about her handle and came up with the nickname since she would basically serve as a client or establishment's guard dog without question.

<The Past is Still Alive (Prototype Transhuman/Biocompatability(Cyberware))>

It was clear to Marcus when he first found the girl that she wasn't exactly normal. Her body had been altered, tailored, but by whom he didn't know. And neither did his newfound daughter. At first that didn't matter to them. But the little oddities stuck out and built up over time. A constant reminder to them both that Asura had something to confront still.

===Negative===

<Haunted by the Unknown ((Driven(Finding out the truth of the visions)/Flashbacks 1 (Fighting against Magic users))>

Every night, she's reminded of something she can't quite remember. Imprinted on her. Something she could never forget. And yet, she can never quite grasp what it is. Who was she before KE? Where did she come from? Why was she crippled when they found her? So, so many questions linger in her mind. She would do anything to find the answers to them. Even if it kills her.

<Former Knight Errant (SINner (Corporate, Ares), Prejudiced (Biased, Common, Criminals))>

Being re-raised as a Knight Errant, fighting against criminal elements, and seeing the only people she knew since she was picked up be injured or worse at the hands of shadowrunners, syndicate members, and gangsters makes it fairly hard for her to interact with those people nowadays. She won't say anything out loud but...she's still a Knight Errant. For now, at least.

==Symbols and Signatures==

==Matrix Search Table==
{{SearchTable|
|LowResult= Looking up the name Asura doesn't seem to pull anything up, beyond some sparse media usage. She doesn't actually use the matrix much at all it seems
|MidResult= There are some mentions of someone who went by Asura in the Knight Errants. No pictures of herself on there or anything without any armor. But safe to say she's possibly one of them.
|HighResult= Definitely Knight Errants, but the oddity here is that she was almost dropped into them out of nowhere, like she was freelance but never left. She doesn't *exist* beyond that. Not just in their records-anywhere.
}}

==Shadow Community Table==
{{SearchTable|
|LowThreshold=1
|LowResult= Mm. New face, not super social. Just another cold machine kind of muscle that's all "strong and silent"
|MidThreshold=3
|MidResult= She has this attitude like she thinks she's better than everyone else. Real annoying. Like she's judging the rest of us. Seems she gets along fine with a few groups of fixers though. Bolt in particular she's tolerant of and seems to not want to throw out a window.
|HighThreshold=5
|HighResult= She's pretty damn reluctant to say much of why she's here but...well, people can kinda tell she isn't doing this work for the money. Something pushed her into this. Not like, she was forced to be here-she's after something. At the very least that's enough to keep her from being too much of a liability but...one has to be wary around sketchy people like that.
}}

==Assensing Table==
{{AssensingTable|
|Result1=Awakened. Ask for emotional state.
|Result2=Cyberware replacing most of body, including eyes. Aware
|Result3= Arms and legs are Alphaware. Ask for heath, Essence, and Magic
|Result4= Bioware all over body, concentrated around the head. Ask for Essence and Magic, Sig, etc.
|Result5= Not a technomancer. No deltaware, gene treatments, or nanotech. Ask for health
}}

==SINs==
R1: Ellie Avera (Ares)

R4: Jenny Harriet (UCAS)

==Appearance==

=== Clothing ===
A 5'10" FBR woman, her most standout features beyond the heavy cybernetics going from the back of the head and chin down to her replacement toes is her grey eyes. She has chocolatey brown hair, a sweet contrast to her silver, black, and red armor. Often she wears a black hooded coat along with military style boots, pants, and button up shirt to hide her cybernetics for her socialization. She is a rather reserved individual on her free time, especially with those she doesn't fully trust yet as her companions, but on missions she is a rather vicious and upfront woman. On her alone time, she prefers to just keep the clothes off since the cybernetic shell isn't exactly risque and the stuffy feeling bothers her.

===Matrix Persona===

A fiery red looking demon with the head of a bloodhound. Insisted upon by her friends back in the force.

==Summary==

These files are a collection of data entries I have made and a flashback simsense I have created to try and...not forget what happened this horrible day. I had a lot to work on. I don't think this will be coherent. I doubt I could ever really do that. But I don't care. It'll make sense to me. And...and I hope one day, when I make things right - truly right - I'll be able to show her too. And more. So, so, so much more.

==Background==

I had nearly died when entering this place. I can thank that cyberzombie Gregory for that. The culmination of my journey, my everything...it could have ended here. I was...I was so scared in the void. I thought I failed for the last time.

I was more fortunate than that though.

==The Meet==

I felt things, more than I really noticed them. Felt bodies move past. Felt the world change around me. Felt Her touch, briefly. I heard voices, voices of two scavengers. One called out to the other just as they were being controlled. He died shortly after. Then I was dragged off to a medical room to be put back together. Not perfectly but...it was enough. Then they were given a final order. When I finally came to, there was blood and supplies, a gun, and a pipe I could break off. Everything else had been stripped off me by scavengers. I was alive, somehow. And I knew exactly what I had to do:

==The Plan==

F I N D

B E Z A I S E N

==The Run==

I left the room to find the strange beings I am now dubbing as "Surveyors" in the hall, banging on locked doors. They noticed my approach, and I realized how bad it was to be...stripped of all my gear. It was a harder fight than I anticipated, but I managed to put them down. I thought they were dead but as I have later come to find...those twisted by the Crystalline cannot be killed so easily. The core must burn first. I went to check the two doors. One was a locked door to the armory. The other had voices nearby. They chastised my naivete in thinking the things were dead and laughed me off. Unhelpful. So I went east. I followed the pull off the thread, and I found that it went into this...center.

Oh right. The Tube room.

I have no idea how to...identify it besides that. It is a yawning abyss and a twisted centerpiece to this...this whole lost facility. I didn't mention it was a facility until now have I? I'm jumping. I lost a lot of blood. Again, I'm not coherent. Anyways, there were more of the creatures there, as well as a unique one I now call "Slingers", but at the time I had no desire to interfere with them. So, I didn't. I did my best to try and stealthily make my way across to the southern (?) hallway, but one of the creatures noticed my attempt at escape and made a swing for me. I barely dodged out of the way. When I arrived, I found scavs whom I...did not trust to be friendly. Another attempt at stealth...failed, honestly, I'm finding I have too many blindspots in that regard. So one called me out, and there was a firefight. It was an utterly senseless and brutal fight. I'm glad that the things they could manage to facet into weapons were too poor to get through my cybernetic armor. I'd probably be dead otherwise. I killed them all. I felt...something nearby, but I don't really know what it was, even now. I didn't care much before...maybe it was...a sign things were going to go wrong, honestly. I don't know. I found my tools though, along with my revolver. And a key to that locked door, where the other scavengers were holed up in. I got in, and they were ready to start a fight with me. I did not want to try that, frankly. So, I didn't. The largest one, the Orc, had my walking stick - my focus. I made a trade for it - clear the beasts from the halls and make them no longer an issue. That was...rough, but I managed it. Somehow. It was during this...very prolonged series of battles that I discovered what slingers could do. That would be throw an utter barrage of crystals like daggers at me. It's hard to dodge them all. I nearly died there.

...I nearly died there...

I...locked them into the medical room after I was done with them all, welding them in, then moved to the barracks. I got my rifle back, some medical gear...and I took time to heal. I think some manner of spell came over me too which in hindsight...was Ruronin.

Bastard.

I moved on from there a few hours later, glad to be moving again. I realized where I was taken from, the opening of the weft walk, had not been locked. Opening it was a mistake. A magical foe, one of their "mages" (I dont know how they managed that) and a surveyor were ready for me. I at least managed to beat them, somehow, and I...filled in the rest of the details on my initial miracle. I tried to ambush the group in the center room - didn't work. Nearly died again. Fled to the north (?) I found a shooting range I couldn't open the way to, and a... a very warped office room. It was as if it was collapsed into itself a dozen times over, stretched and shortened in ways it shouldn't. It was also teeming with even more dangers. I wisely backed out before an engagement broke out. Then I moved to the last wing to the east (?) Bathroom, showers, cantina in front of me. I went to the bathroom, found medical supplies, reached into the stall...
and fell for the dumbest trick ever.

I could've fucking died there why didn't I check the damn place for that surveyor a little better?! God dammit. If it weren't for that scheming bastard Ruronin needing me alive I'd be...I'd be...

It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. I just needed to get moving. The cantina was filled with some poisonous gas, but I was lucky enough to have found my gasmask among my tools. Put it on, went inside. With the hour of air I had there was plenty of time to do some searching.

Another fucking surveyor.

Putting that down for sometime was a mess, and it alerted others in various different rooms. I absconded north while they headed to the room east of me, and did some searching while they were occupied. I found more ammunition thankfully, and I realized a scavenger was hiding for his life. A few of them had a firefight. It led to the leak, and a lot of bodies. Not my problem, it wasn't like I could actually help at the moment. I took a quick room in the room the enemies had moved towards and saw the cloak of grey mana along with my chameleon suit. Good gear. Very good gear. Oh, also some infiltration equipment like a disguise kit and the synthskin mask. Honestly? Couldn't care less. Issue: I got spotted again. I have a lot I need to work on, honestly.

I ran the fuck out of there and dodged a slinger's barrage, and from there...I did a lot of wandering about, frankly. I finally put down most of the group in the center, then found a way to crack open the furnace without a key to operate it.

Another two damn surveyors who didn't care they were being set alight moments ago! God I hate these damn roaches!!

I put them down and found something incredibly useful: A key to the door that I would find out later bars the path to Bezaisen's dwelling. More wandering about - wondering where the damn armory key lay hidden - and I found a key to the shooting range in the showers after a very hard fight with a slinger and surveyor.

I open the shooting range to fucking 3 of the damn slingers.

I barely managed to grab the key before losing consciousness and my fucking rifle.

Fuck.

Ruronin saved my ass again, and I realize only now she was taking fucking samples of me. Like an asshole. But I had the key. I had everything I needed.

I put down that regenerating survivor in the tube room, broke a hole open, and...and climbed down. I could feel her so close in that moment. I was so...so close. I even found the armory key and just...I just couldn't turn away. Not when she was so close

I approached the airlock. I put the keys in. I pressed my hands and eyes in. I could FEEL her again, for only a moment. It was so nice. God it was so good. And...and then I saw it.

The infinite order.

The egg.

The entity.

Two of them, frankly. One had escaped into that place after my last run. Joy.

Ruronin decided then to finally make her proper entrance, and we battled for our lives. I got jazz and 4 shots of...balefire rounds. It was frankly one of the most terrifying fights of my life, minds pressed as they attempted to force our submission and bodies being broken as they clawed and smashed into us. I pushed myself to the absolute limit. I could feel the shreds of my life slipping away with each shot. I pierced them as Ruronin kicked and shattered them using...well, my fucking assault cannon. Ass.

But...but we did it. In the far corner of the...place, we were in, where infinity was made singular and weighed down on all, was an...egg? Red and fleshy...and she was within it.

I cracked her open. She joined me again. Everything was so...so right.

I couldn't move after it. I realized then, something was very wrong. So did she.

Ruronin took the chance to...offer an ultimatum. I didn't realize what she was even bargaining for.
She...she wanted Bezaisen. She wanted the love of my life.

I was not a fan of it. I am still so fucking irritated. God I am going to fucking KILL that bitch when I get the chance.

...Bezaisen was formulating a plan when she shot me in the gut, too.
I think that's the closest thing to a scar I'll ever get.
==Aftermath==

...Whatever Bezaisen did...it got me to my home. Not my apartment. My proper home, with Marcus, in Detroit. And...and um...he got me the medical attention I needed. And I am now resting here. And...

thank god, Bezaisen is with me. Thank...thank the heavens...

What she did cost her...cost her *so much* but...we're together.

I know it isn't everything. I have to figure out why...why I'm so broken, figure out what caused us to be so out of sync. I need to make sure Ruronin will never get between us again. And I...I still want to find out more about myself.

...But now I have her.

I have her...

...I feel happy.

==Rewards==

For Asura:

24 Karma (24 RVP)

Bezaisen (3 / 5 contact for 7 RVP. Keep bothering me until I write her.)

10 cdp (4 RVP)

==Background==

I had nearly died when entering this place. I can thank that cyberzombie Gregory for that. The culmination of my journey, my everything...it could have ended here. I was...I was so scared in the void. I thought I failed for the last time.

I was more fortunate than that though.

==The Meet==

I felt things, more than I really noticed them. Felt bodies move past. Felt the world change around me. Felt Her touch, briefly. I heard voices, voices of two scavengers. One called out to the other just as they were being controlled. He died shortly after. Then I was dragged off to a medical room to be put back together. Not perfectly but...it was enough. Then they were given a final order. When I finally came to, there was blood and supplies, a gun, and a pipe I could break off. Everything else had been stripped off me by scavengers. I was alive, somehow. And I knew exactly what I had to do:

==The Plan==

F I N D B E Z A I S E N

==The Run==

I left the room to find the strange beings I am now dubbing as "Surveyors" in the hall, banging on locked doors. They noticed my approach, and I realized how bad it was to be...stripped of all my gear. It was a harder fight than I anticipated, but I managed to put them down. I thought they were dead but as I have later come to find...those twisted by the Crystalline cannot be killed so easily. The core must burn first. I went to check the two doors. One was a locked door to the armory. The other had voices nearby. They chastised my naivete in thinking the things were dead and laughed me off. Unhelpful. So I went east. I followed the pull off the thread, and I found that it went into this...center.

Oh right. The Tube room.

I have no idea how to...identify it besides that. It is a yawning abyss and a twisted centerpiece to this...this whole lost facility. I didn't mention it was a facility until now have I? I'm jumping. I lost a lot of blood. Again, I'm not coherent. Anyways, there were more of the creatures there, as well as a unique one I now call "Slingers", but at the time I had no desire to interfere with them. So, I didn't. I did my best to try and stealthily make my way across to the southern (?) hallway, but one of the creatures noticed my attempt at escape and made a swing for me. I barely dodged out of the way. When I arrived, I found scavs whom I...did not trust to be friendly. Another attempt at stealth...failed, honestly, I'm finding I have too many blindspots in that regard. So one called me out, and there was a firefight. It was an utterly senseless and brutal fight. I'm glad that the things they could manage to facet into weapons were too poor to get through my cybernetic armor. I'd probably be dead otherwise. I killed them all. I felt...something nearby, but I don't really know what it was, even now. I didn't care much before...maybe it was...a sign things were going to go wrong, honestly. I don't know. I found my tools though, along with my revolver. And a key to that locked door, where the other scavengers were holed up in. I got in, and they were ready to start a fight with me. I did not want to try that, frankly. So, I didn't. The largest one, the Orc, had my walking stick - my focus. I made a trade for it - clear the beasts from the halls and make them no longer an issue. That was...rough, but I managed it. Somehow. It was during this...very prolonged series of battles that I discovered what slingers could do. That would be throw an utter barrage of crystals like daggers at me. It's hard to dodge them all. I nearly died there.

...I nearly died there...

I...locked them into the medical room after I was done with them all, welding them in, then moved to the barracks. I got my rifle back, some medical gear...and I took time to heal. I think some manner of spell came over me too which in hindsight...was Ruronin.

Bastard.

I moved on from there a few hours later, glad to be moving again. I realized where I was taken from, the opening of the weft walk, had not been locked. Opening it was a mistake. A magical foe, one of their "mages" (I dont know how they managed that) and a surveyor were ready for me. I at least managed to beat them, somehow, and I...filled in the rest of the details on my initial miracle. I tried to ambush the group in the center room - didn't work. Nearly died again. Fled to the north (?) I found a shooting range I couldn't open the way to, and a... a very warped office room. It was as if it was collapsed into itself a dozen times over, stretched and shortened in ways it shouldn't. It was also teeming with even more dangers. I wisely backed out before an engagement broke out. Then I moved to the last wing to the east (?) Bathroom, showers, cantina in front of me. I went to the bathroom, found medical supplies, reached into the stall...
and fell for the dumbest trick ever.

I could've fucking died there why didn't I check the damn place for that surveyor a little better?! God dammit. If it weren't for that scheming bastard Ruronin needing me alive I'd be...I'd be...

It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. I just needed to get moving. The cantina was filled with some poisonous gas, but I was lucky enough to have found my gasmask among my tools. Put it on, went inside. With the hour of air I had there was plenty of time to do some searching.

Another fucking surveyor.

Putting that down for sometime was a mess, and it alerted others in various different rooms. I absconded north while they headed to the room east of me, and did some searching while they were occupied. I found more ammunition thankfully, and I realized a scavenger was hiding for his life. A few of them had a firefight. It led to the leak, and a lot of bodies. Not my problem, it wasn't like I could actually help at the moment. I took a quick room in the room the enemies had moved towards and saw the cloak of grey mana along with my chameleon suit. Good gear. Very good gear. Oh, also some infiltration equipment like a disguise kit and the synthskin mask. Honestly? Couldn't care less. Issue: I got spotted again. I have a lot I need to work on, honestly.

I ran the fuck out of there and dodged a slinger's barrage, and from there...I did a lot of wandering about, frankly. I finally put down most of the group in the center, then found a way to crack open the furnace without a key to operate it.

Another two damn surveyors who didn't care they were being set alight moments ago! God I hate these damn roaches!!

I put them down and found something incredibly useful: A key to the door that I would find out later bars the path to Bezaisen's dwelling. More wandering about - wondering where the damn armory key lay hidden - and I found a key to the shooting range in the showers after a very hard fight with a slinger and surveyor.

I open the shooting range to fucking 3 of the damn slingers.

I barely managed to grab the key before losing consciousness and my fucking rifle.

Fuck.

Ruronin saved my ass again, and I realize only now she was taking fucking samples of me. Like an asshole. But I had the key. I had everything I needed.

I put down that regenerating survivor in the tube room, broke a hole open, and...and climbed down. I could feel her so close in that moment. I was so...so close. I even found the armory key and just...I just couldn't turn away. Not when she was so close

I approached the airlock. I put the keys in. I pressed my hands and eyes in. I could FEEL her again, for only a moment. It was so nice. God it was so good. And...and then I saw it.

The infinite order.

The egg.

The entity.

Two of them, frankly. One had escaped into that place after my last run. Joy.

Ruronin decided then to finally make her proper entrance, and we battled for our lives. I got jazz and 4 shots of...balefire rounds. It was frankly one of the most terrifying fights of my life, minds pressed as they attempted to force our submission and bodies being broken as they clawed and smashed into us. I pushed myself to the absolute limit. I could feel the shreds of my life slipping away with each shot. I pierced them as Ruronin kicked and shattered them using...well, my fucking assault cannon. Ass.

But...but we did it. In the far corner of the...place, we were in, where infinity was made singular and weighed down on all, was an...egg? Red and fleshy...and she was within it.

I cracked her open. She joined me again. Everything was so...so right.

I couldn't move after it. I realized then, something was very wrong. So did she.

Ruronin took the chance to...offer an ultimatum. I didn't realize what she was even bargaining for.
She...she wanted Bezaisen. She wanted the love of my life.

I was not a fan of it. I am still so fucking irritated. God I am going to fucking KILL that bitch when I get the chance.

...Bezaisen was formulating a plan when she shot me in the gut, too.
I think that's the closest thing to a scar I'll ever get.
==Aftermath==

...Whatever Bezaisen did...it got me to my home. Not my apartment. My proper home, with Marcus, in Detroit. And...and um...he got me the medical attention I needed. And I am now resting here. And...

thank god, Bezaisen is with me. Thank...thank the heavens...

What she did cost her...cost her *so much* but...we're together.

I know it isn't everything. I have to figure out why...why I'm so broken, figure out what caused us to be so out of sync. I need to make sure Ruronin will never get between us again. And I...I still want to find out more about myself.

...But now I have her.

I have her...

...I feel happy.

==Rewards==

For Asura:

24 Karma (24 RVP)

Bezaisen (3 / 5 contact for 7 RVP. Keep bothering me until I write her.)

=Character Information=

===Summary===

A former White Vory Assassin who faked her own death with the help of a mysterious benefactor to escape. With a newfound freedom, years of harsh training and mistreatment, and a magical power that she is more than eager to grow to the pinnacle of what it means to be 'Awakened', she returns to Seattle with a new look. She's come to keep up her own end of the bargain with her savior, Kruger, as well as fulfill that burning craving for revenge that has been building within her since her former mentor had plucked her from her home. She is constantly fighting the sadistic, brutal nature of her magic and the training that both her physical and spiritual mentors have instilled in her since she was a little girl. While she normally appears rather charming, quiet, and humble, she is a ravenous little monster in combat and a narcissist who believes herself to be the worthy ruler of the world.

===Goals===

- Murder her former Mentor, Alexander Abdulov, in the most brutal and sadistic fashion she can think of. Preferably, with her own two hands.

- Destroy the White Vory. At least the ones in Seattle, but maybe just get rid of any kind of 'Vory' who might have the audacity to stand in her way.

- Raise a criminal empire from the smoldering ashes of the Vory. If not for the power or the wealth or her own narcissism, then to rub it in the face of her soon-to-be-dead mentor.

===Goals (that she won't admit)===

- Maybe finally find someone who cares about her and she feels safe with.

- Find out where she came from, where her old family went, and why she was taken.

- Maybe figure out a way to ditch her sadistic compulsions

==Background==
A nameless child was once found wandering in Tir Tairngire at…who knows, 3? 4? The girl wasn’t really noteworthy. A redheaded elf born to some faceless parents, probably left to die when the money dried up, or just kicked out and left unwanted, though the agent who was assigned to look after her didn’t really care. Nothing about that mattered. Just what she could do-what she could be trained for. The girl was 1 in ten thousand-the spark of a mystic adept, according to the diagnostic given by one Alexander Abdulov. A trainer for the White Vory working with their member in the agency, who wanted someone who could be particularly adept at infiltration into high profile environments and taking out targets, especially magical threats. And so the child, dubbed Julianna, was handed over to Alexander and reared in private in London to become their little problem solver. Being magically inclined and trained as a tool by a rather ruthless man, the little elf did not enjoy her time with the Vory, constantly being mistreated. Her hate for him grew with every disciplining strike, and her magical talents grew out of spite. She was raised to see others who were awakened as targets, sheep to the slaughter, and combined with a need for more and a desire to become better, to take more, because she deserved it, it was no wonder that Black Magic took to her so kindly, along with her mentor: A spirit of vengeance, who saw this growing fury in the child and saw an opportunity. He struck a deal with her: follow his guidance, take after him, and he would help set her free. Help her take revenge against Alexander. The perfect chance to end him and destroy everything he cared about, if she were only patient and dutiful.
And oh, how dutiful she was.

Julianna was raised until she was about 18, enough to be a full adult and be a good little assassin for the White Vory in Seattle, where she was shipped off to once her training was complete. With both a spirit of Vengeance whispering in her ears from the astral plane and Alexander’s teachings, she made for quite a solid assassin. She would gain the trust of a target to silence them, or negotiate with other syndicates with cover from snipers, or simply blend in as she took stock of an area. She was rather good at her job, especially with a retainer keeping an eye on her in case the filthy mutt got any ideas. But the thing about being trained to be sneaky your whole life, is that you get very good at deceiving those you’re working with as much as the ones they want you to trick. She bade her time, gently poking around when her retainer couldn’t keep an eye on her, trying to find herself a little opportunity to get the hell out of there. And the way she did it was through a man named Kruger. An older man who seemed quite interested in the state of affairs in Seattle, with his hands in so many different pockets that one wonders how it could be done. The two made a deal: Kruger got the redhead out of her little predicament, though she didn’t state who exactly was holding her down, and little red would come back as his little troublemaker. An eye that blended in to help him spread his net into more…independent businesses. The Shadowhaven, in particular. Too many independent actors were there, and...well, shadowrunners were good to keep an eye on. And so it was agreed.

On May 31st, 2083, as Julianna and her retainer Viktor were working over in Redmond to negotiate work with the Skraacha, when what appeared to be a drive by came about to nail all of the negotiators, on the one day their usual sniper wasn’t there to keep an eye on things. It went bad. They pulled nothing back, even using explosives to make sure everyone there was dead.
Both Julianna and Viktor were killed, their things being later retrieved and destroyed to keep their existence hidden. Meanwhile, wheeled away by Kruger’s contacts, was a heavily damaged little elf. Smiling as she was stabilized. Their scheming would pay off.
She spent half a year getting biosculpted into a very different woman back in Atlanta. Then she was slowly reintroduced into Seattle, brought into Miss Onyx’s line of runners. Being so magically connected, she struck a chord with the woman and they quickly became friends. Slowly working her way up in the world, until the gem of a fixer decided now was the time to let her into the Haven. An advantageous position for the two of them.

She is going to claw, and maim, and tear her way through this place until she’s on top.

== Narrative Significant Qualities ==

===Positive===

<Vory Princess (Bilingual, Too Pretty to Hit)>

Julianna was pretty much raised by the Vory, and during her time under their watch and training she got very good at blending in and disarming the people she would later impale with a highly potent Ice Claw.

<Child of Vengeance (Shark Mentor Spirit)>

While Alexander was her Vory Mentor who taught her to be a good assassin, the nameless spirit of vengeance has been hanging around the little queen since she was a young girl. It's hard to tell whether it's the one influencing her, or she's the one influencing it. But it has certainly helped her in one particular aspect: Incredible amounts of violence.

===Negative===

<Bad Habits, Worse Behavior (PSC: Thrill Seeker, Sadistic, Vindictive, Superhuman Psychosis)>

Julianna was raised for two things: Social infiltration, and making problems the White Vory had disappear. She was raised to associate that with her own value, for that to be what she lived for. And while she had always resisted it to the best of her ability for the sake of her own self importance...she couldn't get rid of it all. She can normally keep herself under control, but that inhuman monster is always lurking under the surface. And one day, it'll come back out again.

<Conniving little Monster (Vendetta/Driven: Her old mentor/Building her criminal empire)>

Now, Tsarina didn't fake her own death and lose almost everything, including her old look which she REALLY LIKED, just to be a subservient little thing to some new fixer again. No, this is for a greater purpose. Vengeance, and grandeur. She will live up to her Alias. That is a promise to herself and to the world.

<Asshole (Did you just call me Dumb?)>

this is...pretty simple. She's a narcissistic black magic practitioner, who has gotten to a point where lying to people is actually too easy now. Sometimes she just...likes to be rude, or coy, or foreshadow what she's gonna do to someone with an innuendo or double entendre. Whatever the case, her words are both the best and worst way to find out what this girl is about. Without being gored, at least.

===Organizations===


Tsarina is absolutely independent at this point, though she is definitely going to be heading things when she gets more...situated.

===Allies===

Kruger is a...tentative ally. Though she doesn't view him with any warmth, which is likely mutual. Means to an end.

+1 Black Lodge

+1 EVO

+5 White Vory

===Enemies===

The White Vory are her greatest enemy. She views them as part of why she is the way she is, and also as a massive obstacle in her being able to embrace her true potential and pull the world by her strings.

In particular, she has an absolute disdain for her former mentor, and for the Seattle Branch in general.

==SINs==
R6: Catherine Siobhan (SK Industries; Mystic Adept; Private Investigator)

==Appearance==

=== Clothing ===

Tsarina is a 5'7" elven woman with fair skin, long silver hair, and gentle green eyes. She likes to keep her hair pinned in a ponytail when she's out and about, but at home or when relaxing she almost never does so. If she does she's expecting work. When in an intense fight or when she is relishing in her sadism, her mentor's influence causes her pupils to hyperdilate, and her rather narrow looking eyes become disturbingly engorged as she locks onto her prey with inky black pearls. She often has a lightly parted smile or smirk on her face. If it widens, that is a sign that you are not going to like how the future develops.

Tsarina loves her little dresses, and is almost always in a rather formfitting one when she goes out. She'll pair this with long gloves and boots, and her black little hoodie that has small little ear buds on the side and on top that makes it look like she has little frills. Most of her outfits nowadays are some mix of dark blues, blacks, and grays. Not her favorite but it fits better with her current hair. Oh, and she likes to wear extravagant undergarments, particularly those that come up past the cuts in her dresses. She's found it's particularly enticing to people who are susceptible to being manipulated by pretty girls.

===Matrix Persona===

Very simple, a little wisp with flames out of the 'head' that resemble a ponytail. Very blue.

|Aspect 1
|Tsarina's immediate goals revolve around positioning herself to take everything from the White Vory Branch in Seattle.

This means getting funding, getting allies, and finally using her insider knowledge to gain a chokehold on them

|Her biggest overall goal however, is spiting her mentor in every conceivable way.
Part of this is taking the faction he is a part of from him, the other part is killing him horrifically.

And so the child, dubbed Julianna, was handed over to Alexander and reared in private in London to become their little problem solver. Being magically inclined and trained as a tool by a rather ruthless man, the little elf did not enjoy her time with the Vory, constantly being mistreated. Her hate for him grew with every disciplining strike, and her magical talents grew out of spite. She was raised to see others who were awakened as targets, sheep to the slaughter, and combined with a need for more and a desire to become better, to take more, because she deserved it, it was no wonder that Black Magic took to her so kindly, along with her mentor: A spirit of vengeance, who saw this growing fury in the child and saw an opportunity. He struck a deal with her: follow his guidance, take after him, and he would help set her free. Help her take revenge against Alexander. The perfect chance to end him and destroy everything he cared about, if she were only patient and dutiful.
And oh, how dutiful she was.

Julianna was raised until she was about 18, enough to be a full adult and be a good little assassin for the White Vory in Seattle, where she was shipped off to once her training was complete. With both a spirit of Vengeance whispering in her ears from the astral plane and Alexander’s teachings, she made for quite a solid assassin. She would gain the trust of a target to silence them, or negotiate with other syndicates with cover from snipers, or simply blend in as she took stock of an area. She was rather good at her job, especially with a retainer keeping an eye on her in case the filthy mutt got any ideas. But the thing about being trained to be sneaky your whole life, is that you get very good at deceiving those you’re working with as much as the ones they want you to trick. She bade her time, gently poking around when her retainer couldn’t keep an eye on her, trying to find herself a little opportunity to get the hell out of there. And the way she did it was through a man named Kruger. An older man who seemed quite interested in the state of affairs in Seattle, with his hands in so many different pockets that one wonders how it could be done. The two made a deal: Kruger got the redhead out of her little predicament, though she didn’t state who exactly was holding her down, and little red would come back as his little troublemaker. An eye that blended in to help him spread his net into more…independent businesses. The Shadowhaven, in particular. Too many independent actors were there, and...well, shadowrunners were good to keep an eye on. And so it was agreed.

On May 31st, 2083, as Julianna and her retainer Viktor were working over in Redmond to negotiate work with the Skraacha, when what appeared to be a drive by came about to nail all of the negotiators, on the one day their usual sniper wasn’t there to keep an eye on things. It went bad. They pulled nothing back, even using explosives to make sure everyone there was dead.
Both Julianna and Viktor were killed, their things being later retrieved and destroyed to keep their existence hidden. Meanwhile, wheeled away by Kruger’s contacts, was a heavily damaged little elf. Smiling as she was stabilized. Their scheming would pay off.
She spent half a year getting biosculpted into a very different woman back in Atlanta. Then she was slowly reintroduced into Seattle, brought into Miss Onyx’s line of runners. Being so magically connected, she struck a chord with the woman and they quickly became friends. Slowly working her way up in the world, until the gem of a fixer decided now was the time to let her into the Haven. An advantageous position for the two of them.

She is going to claw, and maim, and tear her way through this place until she’s on top.

== Narrative Significant Qualities ==

===Positive===

<Vory Princess (Bilingual, Too Pretty to Hit)>

Julianna was pretty much raised by the Vory, and during her time under their watch and training she got very good at blending in and disarming the people she would later impale with a highly potent Ice Claw.

<Child of Vengeance (Shark Mentor Spirit)>

While Alexander was her Vory Mentor who taught her to be a good assassin, the nameless spirit of vengeance has been hanging around the little queen since she was a young girl. It's hard to tell whether it's the one influencing her, or she's the one influencing it. But it has certainly helped her in one particular aspect: Incredible amounts of violence.

===Negative===

<Bad Habits, Worse Behavior (PSC: Thrill Seeker, Sadistic, Vindictive, Superhuman Psychosis)>

Julianna was raised for two things: Social infiltration, and making problems the White Vory had disappear. She was raised to associate that with her own value, for that to be what she lived for. And while she had always resisted it to the best of her ability for the sake of her own self importance...she couldn't get rid of it all. She can normally keep herself under control, but that inhuman monster is always lurking under the surface. And one day, it'll come back out again.

<Conniving little Monster (Vendetta/Driven: Her old mentor/Building her criminal empire)>

Now, Tsarina didn't fake her own death and lose almost everything, including her old look which she REALLY LIKED, just to be a subservient little thing to some new fixer again. No, this is for a greater purpose. Vengeance, and grandeur. She will live up to her Alias. That is a promise to herself and to the world.

<Asshole (Did you just call me Dumb?)>

this is...pretty simple. She's a narcissistic black magic practitioner, who has gotten to a point where lying to people is actually too easy now. Sometimes she just...likes to be rude, or coy, or foreshadow what she's gonna do to someone with an innuendo or double entendre. Whatever the case, her words are both the best and worst way to find out what this girl is about. Without being gored, at least.

===Organizations===


Tsarina is absolutely independent at this point, though she is definitely going to be heading things when she gets more...situated.

===Allies===

Kruger is a...tentative ally. Though she doesn't view him with any warmth, which is likely mutual. Means to an end.

+1 Black Lodge

+1 EVO

+5 White Vory

===Enemies===

The White Vory are her greatest enemy. She views them as part of why she is the way she is, and also as a massive obstacle in her being able to embrace her true potential and pull the world by her strings.

In particular, she has an absolute disdain for her former mentor, and for the Seattle Branch in general.

R6: Catherine Siobhan (SK Industries; Mystic Adept; Private Investigator)

==Appearance==

=== Clothing ===

Tsarina is a 5'7" elven woman with fair skin, long silver hair, and gentle green eyes. She likes to keep her hair pinned in a ponytail when she's out and about, but at home or when relaxing she almost never does so. If she does she's expecting work. When in an intense fight or when she is relishing in her sadism, her mentor's influence causes her pupils to hyperdilate, and her rather narrow looking eyes become disturbingly engorged as she locks onto her prey with inky black pearls. She often has a lightly parted smile or smirk on her face. If it widens, that is a sign that you are not going to like how the future develops.

Tsarina loves her little dresses, and is almost always in a rather formfitting one when she goes out. She'll pair this with long gloves and boots, and her black little hoodie that has small little ear buds on the side and on top that makes it look like she has little frills. Most of her outfits nowadays are some mix of dark blues, blacks, and grays. Not her favorite but it fits better with her current hair. Oh, and she likes to wear extravagant undergarments, particularly those that come up past the cuts in her dresses. She's found it's particularly enticing to people who are susceptible to being manipulated by pretty girls.

===Matrix Persona===

Very simple, a little wisp with flames out of the 'head' that resemble a ponytail. Very blue.

[[Category:Runs]] 

==Summary==
This was a tale of where betrayal leads someone. When a life built upon the broken backs of comrades and promises never fulfilled to anyone or anything, the world slowly turns on you.

==Background==
Jennie "Bullet Time" Winston is an old school runner type, pre-crash. A hermetic sorceress who didn't really value much in her life beyond herself. Her magic, her friends, her everything was built on how to best utilize what she had - consequences be damned. That was in part due to her former corporate background with Ares making her rely more on using others rather than trusting them, but that sort of thinking doesn't serve someone well in the shadows, where trust is gold. She was fairly accomplished in her prime, learning to defend herself from nothing and being a fairly sneaky, slippery devil of a woman when it came to dealing with folks, but it seemed like she couldn't help but turn on others when she got the chance. She fled Ares, she'd pissed off Renraku and MCT through her running, she sold secrets to anyone who would buy, and that's not even touching on the runners she fucked over to get her way.

One of which was Hellsing - a woman who was once a deadly street samurai and adept and who is now trying to live a quiet life and support those whom she couldn't before after years of building connections and amassing her wealth. She knew Bullet Time back in the day. She was one of the runners BT had set up and left for dead. If it weren't for her paramour (and future wife), she likely wouldn't have made it out. In the past, if she had found the girl she would have killed her on the spot. But she's somewhat more mellowed out now - she can see the business before the bloodlust now. And to be frank, as much as she'd like to kill the bastard, Jennie was worth more to her alive than dead. Besides, she wasn't the saintliest person either.

So, when a person in her network identified a high-profile bounty target and Hellsing recognized who it was despite the years, she made some calls.

==The Meet==
The meet itself was pretty standard - an early afternoon call that Hellsing hated doing but figured was necessary to make sure they didn't lose their chance. [[Ubuntu]], [[Obumbrata]] and [[Nagual]] made it to the bar just fine, got some drinks in the quiet afternoon's empty counter top seats, and after some time to settle in and Hellsing noticing the immediate nosey behavior she dropped the humble bartender act to bring them into her actual meeting place.

There she went over the gist of things and BT's last known location: her mouse saw the cretin on a truck near the southern borders of Seattle, where Puyallup and Fort Lewis meet. She wanted her brought in, preferably alive. After some arm-twisting (aided by how Hellsing reacted while going over Bullet's past behavior and having a particular look of familiarity with it), Ubuntu managed to get a forward advance for the team as hazard pay and as a bit of extra funds for the sake of handling operational costs. Hellsing provided the squad with a pickup they could use, courtesy of a contact of her own, and the forewarning that there were probably others on the girl's tail.

She left the gang to get to work researching as she made calls to finalize arrangements.

==The Plan==
Leg working didn't turn up too much: she had a history, but old schoolers were struggling to remember everything about the woman. But she mixed ware with magic, preferring to buff herself, and she was a pretty damn good shot even in her old age. They got themselves loaded with narcojet tipped injection arrows and mage capturing gear to prepare. They had good trackers, they got the vehicle they needed, and they didn't have much time to just wait around and gather information. There was a trail to follow

==The Run==
Arriving on sight near Tarislar, the crew's first task was finding the trail to begin with. That was a bit of a pain to do visually, but the team had two rather skilled trackers in Ubuntu and Obumbrata who managed to see the barely visible dirt road off the side where the miscreant drove off from, obscured from most passing by thanks to the way the buildings and the foliage around were positioned. They spent some time following it down, when they realized that they were being followed by a swarm of drones. Seeing as they were not obviously marked as border patrol, the team immediately opened fire upon the drones. 2 were badly damaged as they escaped, one was destroyed. They knew they were being followed and made certain to hide themselves as best as they could moving forward and keeping an eye out.

The trail led to a small house in the woods, where they found the truck had been left behind and with no real trail to follow from there. So, they reconvened. Obumbrata had been sensing small magical blips that the team had been approaching for some time, and so the team decided to get some supernatural support from the spirits of the forest itself. Obumbrata's original call got the attention of a little plant spirit, who was not quite so helpful but let them know that the guardian of the forest (a green spirit who had claimed this place as their home) was incredibly upset with the situation and wanted the new intruders out. Nagual took over from there, calling the spirit with reagents and a gift of clean water to get the spirit's attention. It was rather unhappy, but willing to help them out for the offered gifts so long as Nagual accepted a small marker to not harm the forest directly and ensure that helping them would lead to the new interlopers (whom the team rightfully suspected were other runners hunting down Bullet Time) would leave once they realized their prey was elsewhere. Though one comment stood out to the team: the resident of the home had also angered the spirit by aiding the fugitive, betraying the forest for some reason in offering refuge.

That turned their attention to the house. Ubuntu's astral sight caught wind of psychometric impressions upon the handles of both the truck and the door. He didn't really understand what they were, but he pointed them out to the seer, Obumbrata, who could feel the fear and anxiety that was building in the subject - Bullet Time. She seemed wounded and, as the door opened, Obumbrata met her daughter. This informed the team's approach as they knocked on the door and met the unenthusiastic host - she had a feeling people would go through her to get to her mother, but their assurance that they weren't out to hurt her and weren't out for the daughter either. She was only slightly concerned for the safety of herself and her mother as she invited them inside, and the two parties had a chat. On the grounds that they wouldn't kill BT and that she'd get one more chance to talk to her, she told them she was likely hiding out exactly in a lakeside fishing shack tending to her wounds, and that her pain editor would make this whole ordeal a problem. Ideally, she would be amenable to speaking, or at least that was what Caroline wanted. Otherwise, she'd be a pain to bring down.

The team left Caroline with a line to communicate for when they hopefully apprehended Bullet Time peacefully, and noticed the drones returned and then swiftly left the scene, still tailing them. Nagual managed a convincing lie out loud to mislead the drones, which bought the team some space to get moving to the lake. They stayed on the outside of the clearing, not wanting to be exposed for fear of the woman keeping an eye on things above ground. Nagual projected in, an air spirit ready to apprehend the sorceress should things get feisty and checked out the shack inside. He didn't notice the alarm ward she had placed there, nor the one-way ward that he sleazed through just fine. This alerted the hiding ex-runner, and her detection spell was then noticed by Nagual. When he went down to investigate the floor space under the shack where the sorceress was hiding under, she activated her astral perception and smacked him across the astral face. He fled immediately and warned the others as he sent the air spirit after her and the other two rushed into action. Bullet Time thankfully hadn't been able to fully prepare herself to fight against the team, so even if she had them outgunned one on one perhaps, she couldn't handle 3 people hitting her hard. And an air spirit engulfing and nearly killing her certainly doesn't help.

Some emergency medical assistance later, and she was stable.

==Aftermath==
Caroline was...somewhat concerned by the way her mother nearly died, but nearly isn't "dead", and they let her leave a message. The other runner team failed to actually catch them across the border, so they were able to get the woman hospitalized near Tarislar and went to collect payment from Hellsing. She was a bit worried that the target was in a hospital, but she moved fast to make sure things were alright.

A small thing that Obumbrata managed to retrieve for Hellsing was an old hit list that BT kept. It made Hellsing remember how much she didn't like the girl.

She collected their bounty and paid the crew the next day.

==Rewards==
16k Nuyen (8 RVP)

3 Karma (3 RVP)

4 CDP (1 RVP + 2 Base)

Optional Rewards

Hellsing (C3/L1 ) as a contact (3 RVP)

Nagual projected in, an air spirit ready to apprehend the sorceress should things get feisty and checked out the shack inside. He didn't notice the alarm ward she had placed there, nor the one-way ward that he sleazed through just fine. This alerted the hiding ex-runner, and her detection spell was then noticed by Nagual. When he went down to investigate the floor space under the shack where the sorceress was hiding under, she activated her astral perception and smacked him across the astral face. He fled immediately and warned the others as he sent the air spirit after her and the other two rushed into action. Bullet Time thankfully hadn't been able to fully prepare herself to fight against the team, so even if she had them outgunned one on one perhaps, she couldn't handle 3 people hitting her hard. And an air spirit engulfing and nearly killing her certainly doesn't help.

Some emergency medical assistance later, and she was stable.

==Aftermath==
Caroline was...somewhat concerned by the way her mother nearly died, but nearly isn't "dead", and they let her leave a message. The other runner team failed to actually catch them across the border, so they were able to get the woman hospitalized near Tarislar and went to collect payment from Hellsing. She was a bit worried that the target was in a hospital, but she moved fast to make sure things were alright.

A small thing that Obumbrata managed to retrieve for Hellsing was an old hit list that BT kept. It made Hellsing remember how much she didn't like the girl.

She collected their bounty and paid the crew the next day.

==Summary==
This was a tale of where betrayal leads someone. When a life built upon the broken backs of comrades and promises never fulfilled to anyone or anything, the world slowly turns on you.

==Background==
Jennie "Bullet Time" Winston is an old school runner type, pre-crash. A hermetic sorceress who didn't really value much in her life beyond herself. Her magic, her friends, her everything was built on how to best utilize what she had - consequences be damned. That was in part due to her former corporate background with Ares making her rely more on using others rather than trusting them, but that sort of thinking doesn't serve someone well in the shadows, where trust is gold. She was fairly accomplished in her prime, learning to defend herself from nothing and being a fairly sneaky, slippery devil of a woman when it came to dealing with folks, but it seemed like she couldn't help but turn on others when she got the chance. She fled Ares, she'd pissed off Renraku and MCT through her running, she sold secrets to anyone who would buy, and that's not even touching on the runners she fucked over to get her way.

One of which was Hellsing - a woman who was once a deadly street samurai and adept and who is now trying to live a quiet life and support those whom she couldn't before after years of building connections and amassing her wealth. She knew Bullet Time back in the day. She was one of the runners BT had set up and left for dead. If it weren't for her paramour (and future wife), she likely wouldn't have made it out. In the past, if she had found the girl she would have killed her on the spot. But she's somewhat more mellowed out now - she can see the business before the bloodlust now. And to be frank, as much as she'd like to kill the bastard, Jennie was worth more to her alive than dead. Besides, she wasn't the saintliest person either.

So, when a person in her network identified a high-profile bounty target and Hellsing recognized who it was despite the years, she made some calls.

==The Meet==
The meet itself was pretty standard - an early afternoon call that Hellsing hated doing but figured was necessary to make sure they didn't lose their chance. [[Ubuntu]], [[Obumbrata]] and [[Nagual]] made it to the bar just fine, got some drinks in the quiet afternoon's empty counter top seats, and after some time to settle in and Hellsing noticing the immediate nosey behavior she dropped the humble bartender act to bring them into her actual meeting place.

There she went over the gist of things and BT's last known location: her mouse saw the cretin on a truck near the southern borders of Seattle, where Puyallup and Fort Lewis meet. She wanted her brought in, preferably alive. After some arm-twisting (aided by how Hellsing reacted while going over Bullet's past behavior and having a particular look of familiarity with it), Ubuntu managed to get a forward advance for the team as hazard pay and as a bit of extra funds for the sake of handling operational costs. Hellsing provided the squad with a pickup they could use, courtesy of a contact of her own, and the forewarning that there were probably others on the girl's tail.

She left the gang to get to work researching as she made calls to finalize arrangements.

==The Plan==
Leg working didn't turn up too much: she had a history, but old schoolers were struggling to remember everything about the woman. But she mixed ware with magic, preferring to buff herself, and she was a pretty damn good shot even in her old age. They got themselves loaded with narcojet tipped injection arrows and mage capturing gear to prepare. They had good trackers, they got the vehicle they needed, and they didn't have much time to just wait around and gather information. There was a trail to follow

==The Run==
Arriving on sight near Tarislar, the crew's first task was finding the trail to begin with. That was a bit of a pain to do visually, but the team had two rather skilled trackers in Ubuntu and Obumbrata who managed to see the barely visible dirt road off the side where the miscreant drove off from, obscured from most passing by thanks to the way the buildings and the foliage around were positioned. They spent some time following it down, when they realized that they were being followed by a swarm of drones. Seeing as they were not obviously marked as border patrol, the team immediately opened fire upon the drones. 2 were badly damaged as they escaped, one was destroyed. They knew they were being followed and made certain to hide themselves as best as they could moving forward and keeping an eye out.

The trail led to a small house in the woods, where they found the truck had been left behind and with no real trail to follow from there. So, they reconvened. Obumbrata had been sensing small magical blips that the team had been approaching for some time, and so the team decided to get some supernatural support from the spirits of the forest itself. Obumbrata's original call got the attention of a little plant spirit, who was not quite so helpful but let them know that the guardian of the forest (a green spirit who had claimed this place as their home) was incredibly upset with the situation and wanted the new intruders out. Nagual took over from there, calling the spirit with reagents and a gift of clean water to get the spirit's attention. It was rather unhappy, but willing to help them out for the offered gifts so long as Nagual accepted a small marker to not harm the forest directly and ensure that helping them would lead to the new interlopers (whom the team rightfully suspected were other runners hunting down Bullet Time) would leave once they realized their prey was elsewhere. Though one comment stood out to the team: the resident of the home had also angered the spirit by aiding the fugitive, betraying the forest for some reason in offering refuge.

That turned their attention to the house. Ubuntu's astral sight caught wind of psychometric impressions upon the handles of both the truck and the door. He didn't really understand what they were, but he pointed them out to the seer, Obumbrata, who could feel the fear and anxiety that was building in the subject - Bullet Time. She seemed wounded and, as the door opened, Obumbrata met her daughter. This informed the team's approach as they knocked on the door and met the unenthusiastic host - she had a feeling people would go through her to get to her mother, but their assurance that they weren't out to hurt her and weren't out for the daughter either. She was only slightly concerned for the safety of herself and her mother as she invited them inside, and the two parties had a chat. On the grounds that they wouldn't kill BT and that she'd get one more chance to talk to her, she told them she was likely hiding out exactly in a lakeside fishing shack tending to her wounds, and that her pain editor would make this whole ordeal a problem. Ideally, she would be amenable to speaking, or at least that was what Caroline wanted. Otherwise, she'd be a pain to bring down.

The team left Caroline with a line to communicate for when they hopefully apprehended Bullet Time peacefully, and noticed the drones returned and then swiftly left the scene, still tailing them. Nagual managed a convincing lie out loud to mislead the drones, which bought the team some space to get moving to the lake. They stayed on the outside of the clearing, not wanting to be exposed for fear of the woman keeping an eye on things above ground. Nagual projected in, an air spirit ready to apprehend the sorceress should things get feisty and checked out the shack inside. He didn't notice the alarm ward she had placed there, nor the one-way ward that he sleazed through just fine. This alerted the hiding ex-runner, and her detection spell was then noticed by Nagual. When he went down to investigate the floor space under the shack where the sorceress was hiding under, she activated her astral perception and smacked him across the astral face. He fled immediately and warned the others as he sent the air spirit after her and the other two rushed into action. Bullet Time thankfully hadn't been able to fully prepare herself to fight against the team, so even if she had them outgunned one on one perhaps, she couldn't handle 3 people hitting her hard. And an air spirit engulfing and nearly killing her certainly doesn't help.

==Summary==

Corporate power is something that often feels impossible to challenge. With towering skyscrapers, impenetrable fortress black sites, swathes of goons and amoral monsters willing to work for the soulless machine of commerce if it gets them the opportunity to fuel their greed and megalomania, they seem invincible. The story of corporate control is all over the 6th world. Like in Aztlan, and the city of Bogota, where Aztechnology controls almost all facets of life, and is free to do as they please.

One former runner wants to put a dent in that. And with the help of a newly rising PMC and a scrappy team, has the perfect target in mind for putting a dent on that chokehold the bastards have on the city.

==Background==
Even after the second AzAm war concluded, a common sentiment amongst the people in Bogota is that it never truly ended, merely quieted. With the way that Aztechnology holds such an iron grip on the city and its usual, awful practices against whoever it can get away with using, needless to say there's a number of fighters still looking to put up resistance against the corporation. A fighter in focus for this particular story is one [[Rosa Rito]], a former prime runner now retired with a few places to hide out and rumors floating about the strange things she's collected over the years. Her target for removal was an utterly awful piece of work called Harris Way.

Harris is a UK native, blood mage, and utter bastard of a person. He had a bounty on his head from destroying an entire building for a crime along with everyone inside, with a massive bounty on his head until it...suddenly got cleared when he got picked up by Aztechnology. He had last been seen on a train somewhere in Bogota a few years back, and it seems as if since then people who 'wouldn't be missed' have been disappearing since. Given the way things work with Azzie R&D, this did not bode well. Rosa was not in her prime, and she could not take this guy or his research alone. No, she needed a team to back her up. And she needed more firepower.

One half of this equation was the Shadowhaven. The other was Horned Bear. Maybe with both groups, she could make this work.

==The Meet==
The runners had their illegal cargo (and teammate) delivered via transport plane as the majority of them wore disguises, met up for a ritual to hide their signatures, and flew on their own plane over to reach Bogota. They called Rosa, got directed to a small bar in the fringes of the city, let the bouncer know who they were looking for, and after a bit of paranoid double checking in this fairly sketchy place went inside the little panic room Rito had.

They talked business there, gathering information on their target and figuring out more of who was involved here. They learned of the three different sister sites that Aztechnology had in the mountain ranges, alongside the terminal station hidden in the city that ran...somewhere through to the countryside. More than likely, Harris was inside one of those sites. They needed to locate him, and deal with him. Somehow, Rosa wasn't really particular. Any blow to their research would be astronomical in the effort to slow the suffering of the people.

They learned of a number of different spots from which they could rest and operate from, to keep from drawing too much attention to this particular hideout of Rosa's. Now they needed to plan things out and get moving.

==The Plan==
The matter of what to do with Harris was something that needed to be established early. Delphi was not about to murder this man in extra-judicious justice, and despite some grumbling from Tsarina about the matter and White Thistle jumping down her throat, things were fine enough there. The bigger issue was that they were operating more in the dark than they would've liked. They didn't know the depth of the enemy's capabilities yet, nor did they have an exact location. And worryingly, Delphi had a divination about a certain detective of Aztlan who was already trying to piece together what was up with the transport plane coming by and, eventually, narrowing down the team's presence.

They needed reconnaissance, they needed to figure out how to use Horned Bear's forces that were sent over to assist them, they needed to derail the detective long enough to prevent any disasters upon them, and they needed to figure out their actual infiltration too.

The team could talk to Horned Bear on their own time, and Tsarina seemed confident she could discreetly throw off the detective from their trail. They knew there were helicopters coming in and around at the other end from Rosa's intel, and if they wanted a physical look at the sites they needed to get a drone in to scout ahead, and that means IFF signatures if they wanted to keep from being detected. So, they had three objectives they would accomplish thusly:

1. Recon to get vital intel:

1a. Alkali and Delphi use astral projection to get an early look, see what kind of forces are on the ground to clear the way for...

1b. Huntress and WT to go in and get a data tap on the copter, securing the IFF for her drones so...

1c. Delphi can use her drones to get a visual on the security on site, and by this point through either astral or physical checking see if they can't determine Harris's whereabouts

2. Tsarina throws off the detective from their tail using her social infiltration skills

3. Team goes to talk with HB as Tsarina goes to deal with the detective. They'd figure out how best to use them with more intel, but they wanted to establish a general idea now

With those objectives complete, the team would secure the way forward into capturing Harris.

==The Run==
Tsarina's task was simple enough. She put on the lost tourist routine as she went to the detective's favorite bar, stood out, got his attention, and fed him a sob story to buy time as well as tie into dropping Red Herrings he believed about other suspicious characters who separated her from her group. The team secured contact with Lieutenant Bubbles of HB and established the use of his shock troops as a cover for their own infiltration to draw away any security. Alkali and Delphi had an easy enough time astrally sneaking through despite a close call, but Huntress and Thistle had a near discovery when an Earth Spirit patrolling at night caught White Thistle barely. She somehow managed to convince it that she was an Aztechnology black ops member, confusing the earth spirit enough that his sleepy summoner did not care to raise the alarm on them. They got the data tap secured, and Delphi could do her scouting with her drone for a proper investigation on site.

Astral projection revealed one of the sites had a massively increased background count and was likely their target, and they had 3 security teams of 6 members each on site. 2 would be active and deal with threats as they saw them at a time, 1 would be resting. The site had a garage for helicopters to land at, a storage room, a small power building, and a main research room. Harris was likely in that room. The team would split into two infiltration teams: Delphi, Alkali, and Tsarina disguising themselves as service workers to seek in ahead of the team, and Huntress and White Thistle backing them up by sneaking in once HB set up the distraction - ideally hitting the power unit to shut down the electrified fence and keep communications down. They'd head into the main building together and apprehend Harris in the chaos. This worked exceptionally well - Tsarina's group bluffed their way in with astral signatures copied and, in the commotion, easily managed to get into the main building despite heightened concerns. Thistle and Huntress joined in after them to back them up, and with Delphi's sensing they managed to find a secret trap door that led down into the more...restricted research rooms.

The team prepared for their final confrontation with Harris, Alkali using smuggled preparations to get the team ready as they stormed down the corridors and to a massive, warded vault. With time an issue and subtlety no longer needed, they broke the ward down by force and pried the vault door open. They immediately flew into a firefight as Huntress chucked a grenade inside, the magical team did their best to hold back Harris's intense magical might, and a spirit under Alkali's control joined White Thistle in holding back the two security members who had joined Harris when the emergency started. The fight was incredibly risky: the two security team members were effectively HTR, and despite a mana static weakening his spells and preps and compulsion hampering his mental faculties to strike himself, things were at a stalemate. And things looked even worse when a blood spirit nearly cleaved White Thistle's soul in twain on the astral. But their combined efforts did slow down the monster enough that, when his desperate attempt to control their minds succeeded, the drain left him unable to fight. And that plummeted the morale of the remaining security team.

==Aftermath==
The team were mostly unchallenged on their way out as they had broken down someone on-site personnel saw as a demi-god and were not worth dying to in an attempt to stop them. They got information from searching and mind probing Harris about the location of survivors of the vile experimentation at that place, and while the number of survivors they could save were few one in particular stood out:

Tres, a sibling of Nueve's, was for some reason here as a subject. A rather interesting prospect for AZT's research, and now free from their clutches.

The mission was a success either way, and the team were flying back with a contract payment from HB soon enough. A successful blow had been dealt to the presence in Bogota, though whether that is enough will have to be seen in due time.

==Rewards==
40k of Gear Rewards (Magical Gear, Armor & Weapons up to A24). Take half unspent as liquid nuyen. (10 RVP)

They immediately flew into a firefight as Huntress chucked a grenade inside, the magical team did their best to hold back Harris's intense magical might, and a spirit under Alkali's control joined White Thistle in holding back the two security members who had joined Harris when the emergency started. The fight was incredibly risky: the two security team members were effectively HTR, and despite a mana static weakening his spells and preps and compulsion hampering his mental faculties to strike himself, things were at a stalemate. And things looked even worse when a blood spirit nearly cleaved White Thistle's soul in twain on the astral. But their combined efforts did slow down the monster enough that, when his desperate attempt to control their minds succeeded, the drain left him unable to fight. And that plummeted the morale of the remaining security team.

==Aftermath==
The team were mostly unchallenged on their way out as they had broken down someone on-site personnel saw as a demi-god and were not worth dying to in an attempt to stop them. They got information from searching and mind probing Harris about the location of survivors of the vile experimentation at that place, and while the number of survivors they could save were few one in particular stood out:

Tres, a sibling of Nueve's, was for some reason here as a subject. A rather interesting prospect for AZT's research, and now free from their clutches.

The mission was a success either way, and the team were flying back with a contract payment from HB soon enough. A successful blow had been dealt to the presence in Bogota, though whether that is enough will have to be seen in due time.

==Summary==

Corporate power is something that often feels impossible to challenge. With towering skyscrapers, impenetrable fortress black sites, swathes of goons and amoral monsters willing to work for the soulless machine of commerce if it gets them the opportunity to fuel their greed and megalomania, they seem invincible. The story of corporate control is all over the 6th world. Like in Aztlan, and the city of Bogota, where Aztechnology controls almost all facets of life, and is free to do as they please.

One former runner wants to put a dent in that. And with the help of a newly rising PMC and a scrappy team, has the perfect target in mind for putting a dent on that chokehold the bastards have on the city.

==Background==
Even after the second AzAm war concluded, a common sentiment amongst the people in Bogota is that it never truly ended, merely quieted. With the way that Aztechnology holds such an iron grip on the city and its usual, awful practices against whoever it can get away with using, needless to say there's a number of fighters still looking to put up resistance against the corporation. A fighter in focus for this particular story is one [[Rosa Rito]], a former prime runner now retired with a few places to hide out and rumors floating about the strange things she's collected over the years. Her target for removal was an utterly awful piece of work called Harris Way.

Harris is a UK native, blood mage, and utter bastard of a person. He had a bounty on his head from destroying an entire building for a crime along with everyone inside, with a massive bounty on his head until it...suddenly got cleared when he got picked up by Aztechnology. He had last been seen on a train somewhere in Bogota a few years back, and it seems as if since then people who 'wouldn't be missed' have been disappearing since. Given the way things work with Azzie R&D, this did not bode well. Rosa was not in her prime, and she could not take this guy or his research alone. No, she needed a team to back her up. And she needed more firepower.

One half of this equation was the Shadowhaven. The other was Horned Bear. Maybe with both groups, she could make this work.

==The Meet==
The runners had their illegal cargo (and teammate) delivered via transport plane as the majority of them wore disguises, met up for a ritual to hide their signatures, and flew on their own plane over to reach Bogota. They called Rosa, got directed to a small bar in the fringes of the city, let the bouncer know who they were looking for, and after a bit of paranoid double checking in this fairly sketchy place went inside the little panic room Rito had.

They talked business there, gathering information on their target and figuring out more of who was involved here. They learned of the three different sister sites that Aztechnology had in the mountain ranges, alongside the terminal station hidden in the city that ran...somewhere through to the countryside. More than likely, Harris was inside one of those sites. They needed to locate him, and deal with him. Somehow, Rosa wasn't really particular. Any blow to their research would be astronomical in the effort to slow the suffering of the people.

They learned of a number of different spots from which they could rest and operate from, to keep from drawing too much attention to this particular hideout of Rosa's. Now they needed to plan things out and get moving.

==The Plan==
The matter of what to do with Harris was something that needed to be established early. Delphi was not about to murder this man in extra-judicious justice, and despite some grumbling from Tsarina about the matter and White Thistle jumping down her throat, things were fine enough there. The bigger issue was that they were operating more in the dark than they would've liked. They didn't know the depth of the enemy's capabilities yet, nor did they have an exact location. And worryingly, Delphi had a divination about a certain detective of Aztlan who was already trying to piece together what was up with the transport plane coming by and, eventually, narrowing down the team's presence.

They needed reconnaissance, they needed to figure out how to use Horned Bear's forces that were sent over to assist them, they needed to derail the detective long enough to prevent any disasters upon them, and they needed to figure out their actual infiltration too.

The team could talk to Horned Bear on their own time, and Tsarina seemed confident she could discreetly throw off the detective from their trail. They knew there were helicopters coming in and around at the other end from Rosa's intel, and if they wanted a physical look at the sites they needed to get a drone in to scout ahead, and that means IFF signatures if they wanted to keep from being detected. So, they had three objectives they would accomplish thusly:

1. Recon to get vital intel:

1a. Alkali and Delphi use astral projection to get an early look, see what kind of forces are on the ground to clear the way for...

1b. Huntress and WT to go in and get a data tap on the copter, securing the IFF for her drones so...

1c. Delphi can use her drones to get a visual on the security on site, and by this point through either astral or physical checking see if they can't determine Harris's whereabouts

2. Tsarina throws off the detective from their tail using her social infiltration skills

3. Team goes to talk with HB as Tsarina goes to deal with the detective. They'd figure out how best to use them with more intel, but they wanted to establish a general idea now

With those objectives complete, the team would secure the way forward into capturing Harris.

==The Run==
Tsarina's task was simple enough. She put on the lost tourist routine as she went to the detective's favorite bar, stood out, got his attention, and fed him a sob story to buy time as well as tie into dropping Red Herrings he believed about other suspicious characters who separated her from her group. The team secured contact with Lieutenant Bubbles of HB and established the use of his shock troops as a cover for their own infiltration to draw away any security. Alkali and Delphi had an easy enough time astrally sneaking through despite a close call, but Huntress and Thistle had a near discovery when an Earth Spirit patrolling at night caught White Thistle barely. She somehow managed to convince it that she was an Aztechnology black ops member, confusing the earth spirit enough that his sleepy summoner did not care to raise the alarm on them. They got the data tap secured, and Delphi could do her scouting with her drone for a proper investigation on site.

Astral projection revealed one of the sites had a massively increased background count and was likely their target, and they had 3 security teams of 6 members each on site. 2 would be active and deal with threats as they saw them at a time, 1 would be resting. The site had a garage for helicopters to land at, a storage room, a small power building, and a main research room. Harris was likely in that room. The team would split into two infiltration teams: Delphi, Alkali, and Tsarina disguising themselves as service workers to seek in ahead of the team, and Huntress and White Thistle backing them up by sneaking in once HB set up the distraction - ideally hitting the power unit to shut down the electrified fence and keep communications down. They'd head into the main building together and apprehend Harris in the chaos. This worked exceptionally well - Tsarina's group bluffed their way in with astral signatures copied and, in the commotion, easily managed to get into the main building despite heightened concerns. Thistle and Huntress joined in after them to back them up, and with Delphi's sensing they managed to find a secret trap door that led down into the more...restricted research rooms.

The team prepared for their final confrontation with Harris, Alkali using smuggled preparations to get the team ready as they stormed down the corridors and to a massive, warded vault. With time an issue and subtlety no longer needed, they broke the ward down by force and pried the vault door open. They immediately flew into a firefight as Huntress chucked a grenade inside, the magical team did their best to hold back Harris's intense magical might, and a spirit under Alkali's control joined White Thistle in holding back the two security members who had joined Harris when the emergency started. The fight was incredibly risky: the two security team members were effectively HTR, and despite a mana static weakening his spells and preps and compulsion hampering his mental faculties to strike himself, things were at a stalemate. And things looked even worse when a blood spirit nearly cleaved White Thistle's soul in twain on the astral. But their combined efforts did slow down the monster enough that, when his desperate attempt to control their minds succeeded, the drain left him unable to fight. And that plummeted the morale of the remaining security team.
