=Character Information=

===Summary===
Ez-Azael is a face that, should words ever come to fail, can pull in some spiritual aid for situations calling for less finesse. A promising career going up through Ares' chain fell apart at the seams, and now they have to get by with few fall-backs left.

===Goals===
*Get some friends who'd have his back through thick and thin.
*Get some revenge against the son of a bitch that got him hurled out of Ares employment.
*Get some cash to live the non-life-threatening side of things with comfort.
*Get to grips with his dangerously short-fuse. Either quell the rage entirely, or find a way to more finely control when-and-when-not to apply copious rage.

==Background==
Born to mid-level Corp parents working under Ares. They were middle-managers of no particular note.

Awakened as a toddler, and had some mage education through upbringing. Seemed to enjoy the networking and spirit-communication while having no ability for enchantment.

Would grow to be like a stained-glass mosaic: niche artfulness, yet fragile with sharp fragments.

A lay-off ended up catching him, leading to now where he's needing a new job and a way to deal with the chip on his shoulder against the people that got him thrown out of his previous life.

== Narrative Significant Qualities ==

===Positive===
SURGE Class 2 (Sheep)
*Qualities include Goring Horns (the pair of curved horns on his head), Satyr Legs (as would be expected), Vestigial Tail (not as much strong-muscle in his tail, so it's no help for mobility), Berserk (an unusual fight-or-flight reaction reversal to that of most sheep, leading to a fist-flying rage when threatened) and Slow Healer (hard to pin down why or how, but natural-healing is slower than normal for this fellow).

Common Sense
*No matter the situation, there's always that uncanny-yet-accurate feeling in the back of his mind that warns about social faux-pas or overly dangerous situations. It's kept him out of trouble so far, but it has to combat with the aforementioned rage boiling within - an odd Hot versus Cold, but there's been enough times such warning saves his fleece that he makes more an effort to listen.

Too Pretty To Hit, Watch The Suit
*Such pains to keep in good grooming is hard when money is tight. However, sometimes it pays off. With a bat of the eyelashes or a flash of a smile, charm may dissuade blows. Alternatively, a wild-man's psychotic grin and that too-crazy-to-be-high twitch in the eyes can spook someone from wanting to be near madness like that. For Ez-Azael, both are available where best suited.

Mentor Spirit (Holy Text)
*Despite being in a profession where you murder for money occasionally, there's still room to be better than bad. And for him who already came to Jesus early in, that kind of lifestyle sticks with you. He does still keep his bible as part of his lodge, after all; it's only fair that he try to keep the good-book at heart when he'd need it most.

Chainbreaker
*He never really thought Binding spirits was all that great. It certainly does have perks and great-forms it can call on, but it never sat well with him to see bound spirits. And now with it being thrice confirmed he breaks binds and is an emancipator of spirits, there's a sort of touch he's got now that can wear away the tethers of binding magic. Like the god to whom he follows, he uplifts the yoke of harsh servitude from others.

===Negative===
Corporate SIN (Ares)
*He's on the record and has a "real" life outside the shadows. Worse, it's under one of the major corporations. Going against Ares might be a conflicting matter...

Corporate SIN (Ares)
*Real name is Gabriel Larvor. His address is off in one of the few B-security areas of the Redmond district, and comes with licenses:
**Driver
**Mage
**Adept
**Concealed Carry Permit
**Firearms License
**Restricted Armor

Fake SIN R5
*Given name is William Brecket. No given address of living, but comes with licenses:
**Driver R5
**Mage R5
**Adept R5
**Restricted Armor R5
**Private Investigator R5

==Appearance==
There's little hiding the man's overtly caprine features, including cloven hooves upon his legs and a ram's head fit with curved horns. Still, he's otherwise groomed well enough on the standard of pencil-pushing wage-slaves. Green eyes sit beneath a shaggy mop of blonde hair, said hair being more plush and curly than most folks. His skin, however, is pallid to a point of stark contrast. Some might assume it's albinism, though maybe not since it doesn't seem like bright-lights bug him any more than most folks and his eyes seem to bear vibrant color.

=== Clothing ===
For most non-run work, a simple set of dress-pants and a black button-up shirt serve well enough with whatever tie is picked. Should things require a finer set of clothes, a Mortimer of London Berwick Suit and Ulysses Coat adorns the ork for a fashionably old manner of dress. A white overcoat stands in contrast to the black suit-and-pants he normally wears, with a dark red tie to complete the ensemble.

===Matrix Persona===
Ez-Azael's avatar is simply a stylized skull of a sheep atop a default avatar-body.

[[Category:Runs]] 

==Summary==
In which the runners are hired to break some prisoners out of cold storage, and end up turning on their employers instead.

==Background==
In [[A Shadowrun Based on the Film Con Air]], a former Winternight operative called Harbinger was sprung from Lone Star custody by his allies in the Crying Masks - armed with a good deal of Secret Knowledge(TM), Harbinger has been hard at work collecting pawns for his Nefarious Schemes(TM). Some of those likely pawns include Alamos 20k super soldiers of racism who were imprisoned by the UCAS government following the New Revolution, of which there are currently a dozen in cryo-storage secured in a secret bunker located under an army supply depot in Fort Lewis. Harbinger has made contact with Carolina Petrovski in order to hire shadowrunners who can free them.

==The Meet==
The runners are contacted individually by their fixers and told to meet with Ms. Johnson at Brother Antolie, a redneck bar in Snohomish - the metahumans among them are advised to wear hoods and comport themselves well, though no further elaboration is provided (Iron however determines with a Matrix search that the bar has played host to Humanis meetups in the past). All of them manage to arrive mostly without incident, and somehow the giant and the changling don't attract anything more than rude stares; Shy however ends up getting cat-called and hit on by one of the drunks, prompting her to draw her gun on the man. Before a fight can break out however there's a sarcastic clapping sound from one of the booths that seems to freeze everyone in place - Shy included when she sees that the source of it is the unassuming-looking gentleman who she helped to break out of jail some months previous.

Harbinger greets the party and leads them into a back room where Carolina Petrovski waits for them; the atmosphere is very tense, especially after Shy reveals via DNI that she knows Harbinger is a Winternight operative. Petrovski gives the usual Johnson speech while providing as little info as possible, telling the party only that she wants them to rescue "political prisoners who have committed a crime against the state and been denied lawful due process" (not strictly a lie), however her caginess on the matter and her shady companion raise heckles for many in the group. Iron pushes for more details, receiving prevarications in reply, so he straight up walks out of the meet - he is allowed to leave without consuming the laesed drinks offered to him, since he doesn't know much, and his sensor collar provides only blurred images of the pair thanks to their Faceless systems.

The rest of the group are left in something of a bind - walk out and risk the hit to their reputations, or attempt to salvage the situation. Eidolon pushes for either more information or more money, so Petrovski offers 30k each to shut down that line of inquiry, handily out-negotiating Ez-Azael's attempts to wring more blood from the stone. In something of a bind, the group collectively agree to undertake the job while searching out a means to thwart their employers from doing something terrible.

==The Plan==
With Iron having taken his leave, the party contact M3chan1c for tech support, however upon being told that they plan to betray the J, Iron agrees to provide his assistance as well. Still, the group find themselves in quite the pickle - they either have to break into Fort Lewis and somehow screw up in such a way that their employers don't get what they're after while still making themselves look competent. They debate various ways to have their cake without eating it, but in the end Shy proposes a solution: use [[N-51]]'s newly-forged connections with the UCAS government to contact the CIA and alert them to the situation.

A vigorous debate ensues about the wisdom of contacting the CIA with this matter, but Shy's assurances that she will take on the worst of the blowback for the decision eventually win out, and the rest of the runners acquiesce. Contacting [[Commander]], she explains things and says that she needs to speak to the unit's handler, telling him it relates to the job that she was sent on last year. He is naturally hesitant, but after being told the weight of the situation and that it could potentially ingratiate them to their new overlords, he agrees to make the call. A few hours later, Shy receives a call from an unknown number directing her and the rest of the group to a warehouse in south Tacoma, where a black van with tinted windows waits outside; Shy, along with Chófer, Eidolon, and Ez-Azael, head inside while the tech support remains remote.

Inside, the quartet are confronted with a lone man calling himself Slater, who addresses most of his questions towards Shy. He asks how she knows she's dealing with a Winternight operative, and she is forthcoming with details, though he still requires proof if he is to convince his superiors to allow any sort of sting to capture Harbinger to go forward - mostly he is interested in plugging the information leak and finding out how he knows about the secret bunker. Shy volunteers to undergo interrogation, even providing her own gamma-scopolimine, so Slater leads her into the back room while the others are left to contemplate the seriousness of their situation. Iron, for his part, seeks out a backdoor into the Resonance Realms and undertakes a quest to de-pixelate the images he has of Harbinger and Petrovski, returning from his brain-vacation with digital proof of who they met with; combined with the results of Shy's interrogation/mind probing, this proves sufficient to satisfy the CIA agent.

==The Run==
With the CIA agent's Q clearance and accompanying escort, and with Chófer flying UCAS army colours and codes from her roadmaster to blend in, the group are easily able to get past the Ft. Lewis military checkpoints and reach the supply depot that hides the secret bunker. Slater tells the MPs guarding it to take the night off, then leads the runners inside and down to the cryo-storage tanks. Opening one of them, he reveals a hulking super-soldier with "Θ-7" tattooed on his forehead, before injecting him with something and telling the party to take him as bait for Harbinger.

Contacting Petrovski, the group are told to drop their human cargo off at a street doc's clinic south of Puyallup City. Heading there and scouting the place out, they find a basement clinic with a wired camera pointing at a reinforced steel door with no apparent way to open it. Eidolon walks up to the door to obscure the camera's view while Shy sneaks a gas grenade into the nearby vent. A crackly voice tells them to identify themselves and prove they have Theta-Seven, and upon confirmation the door buzzes open to admit them to the underground surgery suite.

Inside, the group find a quartet of masked figures lead by a man with X's over his eyes - Shy recognizes him as Harbinger's confederate who hired her for the job to spring him; giving the group the signal via her pi-tac, the runners spring their ambush, but the Crying Masks prove prepared - a brutal knock-down, drag-out fight ensues, with the tech people providing calibration and IATF support to the combatants in order to help them compete with the experienced and powerful fighters. Thankfully their tech support spots the fact that the Crying Masks are equipped with suicide vests hooked up to wired detonators in their forearm guards, and some skillful sharp-shooting manages to disable the trigger mechanisms in order to prevent a messy scene in the confined quarters. X threatens the group "that they don't know who they're fucking with", however they press on and manage to overcome the terrorists, with Shy taking down her old employer using a narcojet syringe to the neck.

==Aftermath==
With all four terrorists secured and Theta-Seven still in their custody, the group contact Slater to clean up the mess and take his prisoners off of their hands. The CIA agent proceeds to pay the group for their services, but not before thoroughly debriefing them, checking their commlinks for any evidence of the bunker and forcing those who were at the meeting to submit to being dosed with laes so that they forget where it is (the remote tech support who never entered the bunker in the first place avoids this). Theta-Seven is placed back into cold-storage, and the Crying Masks are taken away to be interrogated so that the CIA can begin tracking down Harbinger.

==Player After Action Reports (AARs)==
[[Eidolon]]: Morals can get you in real OpSec binds... I suppose this is for the best though... even if my track record is looking less pristine with these turnabout gigs on the J. Aren't we supposed to be professionals who do the job we're paid for? No wonder employers won't tell runners anything, even if it makes things hazier with regards to planning and fallout

[[Chófer]]: "well.. originally i was willing to do the job without knowing much of the details but.. yea no amount of money in the world is enough to break out one of those creatures"

[[Ez-Azael]]: "What an utter fucking shit-show... Granted, I don't fully remember anything after talking with the new Mr. J when trying to work with the prior Mrs. J, but it was all kinds of sketchy on top of having a strong hunch that Mrs. J was connected somehow with the psychos that caused... Crash 1.0 or 2.0? I'm too angry to remember correctly right now, and this whole thing is just blood-boiling. I don't like either of them, but I'd take this Mr. J over this Mrs. J. At least I'm not dead or in prison... yet..."

[[Category:Runs]] 

==Summary==
In which the runners are hired to break some prisoners out of cold storage, and end up turning on their employers instead.

==Background==
In [[A Shadowrun Based on the Film Con Air]], a former Winternight operative called Harbinger was sprung from Lone Star custody by his allies in the Crying Masks - armed with a good deal of Secret Knowledge(TM), Harbinger has been hard at work collecting pawns for his Nefarious Schemes(TM). Some of those likely pawns include Alamos 20k super soldiers of racism who were imprisoned by the UCAS government following the New Revolution, of which there are currently a dozen in cryo-storage secured in a secret bunker located under an army supply depot in Fort Lewis. Harbinger has made contact with Carolina Petrovski in order to hire shadowrunners who can free them.

==The Meet==
The runners are contacted individually by their fixers and told to meet with Ms. Johnson at Brother Antolie, a redneck bar in Snohomish - the metahumans among them are advised to wear hoods and comport themselves well, though no further elaboration is provided (Iron however determines with a Matrix search that the bar has played host to Humanis meetups in the past). All of them manage to arrive mostly without incident, and somehow the giant and the changling don't attract anything more than rude stares; Shy however ends up getting cat-called and hit on by one of the drunks, prompting her to draw her gun on the man. Before a fight can break out however there's a sarcastic clapping sound from one of the booths that seems to freeze everyone in place - Shy included when she sees that the source of it is the unassuming-looking gentleman who she helped to break out of jail some months previous.

Harbinger greets the party and leads them into a back room where Carolina Petrovski waits for them; the atmosphere is very tense, especially after Shy reveals via DNI that she knows Harbinger is a Winternight operative. Petrovski gives the usual Johnson speech while providing as little info as possible, telling the party only that she wants them to rescue "political prisoners who have committed a crime against the state and been denied lawful due process" (not strictly a lie), however her caginess on the matter and her shady companion raise heckles for many in the group. Iron pushes for more details, receiving prevarications in reply, so he straight up walks out of the meet - he is allowed to leave without consuming the laesed drinks offered to him, since he doesn't know much, and his sensor collar provides only blurred images of the pair thanks to their Faceless systems.

The rest of the group are left in something of a bind - walk out and risk the hit to their reputations, or attempt to salvage the situation. Eidolon pushes for either more information or more money, so Petrovski offers 30k each to shut down that line of inquiry, handily out-negotiating Ez-Azael's attempts to wring more blood from the stone. In something of a bind, the group collectively agree to undertake the job while searching out a means to thwart their employers from doing something terrible.

==The Plan==
With Iron having taken his leave, the party contact M3chan1c for tech support, however upon being told that they plan to betray the J, Iron agrees to provide his assistance as well. Still, the group find themselves in quite the pickle - they either have to break into Fort Lewis and somehow screw up in such a way that their employers don't get what they're after while still making themselves look competent. They debate various ways to have their cake without eating it, but in the end Shy proposes a solution: use [[N-51]]'s newly-forged connections with the UCAS government to contact the CIA and alert them to the situation.

A vigorous debate ensues about the wisdom of contacting the CIA with this matter, but Shy's assurances that she will take on the worst of the blowback for the decision eventually win out, and the rest of the runners acquiesce. Contacting [[Commander]], she explains things and says that she needs to speak to the unit's handler, telling him it relates to the job that she was sent on last year. He is naturally hesitant, but after being told the weight of the situation and that it could potentially ingratiate them to their new overlords, he agrees to make the call. A few hours later, Shy receives a call from an unknown number directing her and the rest of the group to a warehouse in south Tacoma, where a black van with tinted windows waits outside; Shy, along with Chófer, Eidolon, and Ez-Azael, head inside while the tech support remains remote.

Inside, the quartet are confronted with a lone man calling himself Slater, who addresses most of his questions towards Shy. He asks how she knows she's dealing with a Winternight operative, and she is forthcoming with details, though he still requires proof if he is to convince his superiors to allow any sort of sting to capture Harbinger to go forward - mostly he is interested in plugging the information leak and finding out how he knows about the secret bunker. Shy volunteers to undergo interrogation, even providing her own gamma-scopolimine, so Slater leads her into the back room while the others are left to contemplate the seriousness of their situation. Iron, for his part, seeks out a backdoor into the Resonance Realms and undertakes a quest to de-pixelate the images he has of Harbinger and Petrovski, returning from his brain-vacation with digital proof of who they met with; combined with the results of Shy's interrogation/mind probing, this proves sufficient to satisfy the CIA agent.

==The Run==
With the CIA agent's Q clearance and accompanying escort, and with Chófer flying UCAS army colours and codes from her roadmaster to blend in, the group are easily able to get past the Ft. Lewis military checkpoints and reach the supply depot that hides the secret bunker. Slater tells the MPs guarding it to take the night off, then leads the runners inside and down to the cryo-storage tanks. Opening one of them, he reveals a hulking super-soldier with "Θ-7" tattooed on his forehead, before injecting him with something and telling the party to take him as bait for Harbinger.

Contacting Petrovski, the group are told to drop their human cargo off at a street doc's clinic south of Puyallup City. Heading there and scouting the place out, they find a basement clinic with a wired camera pointing at a reinforced steel door with no apparent way to open it. Eidolon walks up to the door to obscure the camera's view while Shy sneaks a gas grenade into the nearby vent. A crackly voice tells them to identify themselves and prove they have Theta-Seven, and upon confirmation the door buzzes open to admit them to the underground surgery suite.

Inside, the group find a quartet of masked figures lead by a man with X's over his eyes - Shy recognizes him as Harbinger's confederate who hired her for the job to spring him; giving the group the signal via her pi-tac, the runners spring their ambush, but the Crying Masks prove prepared - a brutal knock-down, drag-out fight ensues, with the tech people providing calibration and IATF support to the combatants in order to help them compete with the experienced and powerful fighters. Thankfully their tech support spots the fact that the Crying Masks are equipped with suicide vests hooked up to wired detonators in their forearm guards, and some skillful sharp-shooting manages to disable the trigger mechanisms in order to prevent a messy scene in the confined quarters. X threatens the group "that they don't know who they're fucking with", however they press on and manage to overcome the terrorists, with Shy taking down her old employer using a narcojet syringe to the neck.

==Aftermath==
With all four terrorists secured and Theta-Seven still in their custody, the group contact Slater to clean up the mess and take his prisoners off of their hands. The CIA agent proceeds to pay the group for their services, but not before thoroughly debriefing them, checking their commlinks for any evidence of the bunker and forcing those who were at the meeting to submit to being dosed with laes so that they forget where it is (the remote tech support who never entered the bunker in the first place avoids this). Theta-Seven is placed back into cold-storage, and the Crying Masks are taken away to be interrogated so that the CIA can begin tracking down Harbinger.

==Player After Action Reports (AARs)==
[[Eidolon]]: Morals can get you in real OpSec binds... I suppose this is for the best though... even if my track record is looking less pristine with these turnabout gigs on the J. Aren't we supposed to be professionals who do the job we're paid for? No wonder employers won't tell runners anything, even if it makes things hazier with regards to planning and fallout
[[Chófer]]: "well.. originally i was willing to do the job without knowing much of the details but.. yea no amount of money in the world is enough to break out one of those creatures"
[[Ez-Azael]]: "What an utter fucking shit-show... Granted, I don't fully remember anything after talking with the new Mr. J when trying to work with the prior Mrs. J, but it was all kinds of sketchy on top of having a strong hunch that Mrs. J was connected somehow with the psychos that caused... Crash 1.0 or 2.0? I'm too angry to remember correctly right now, and this whole thing is just blood-boiling. I don't like either of them, but I'd take this Mr. J over this Mrs. J. At least I'm not dead or in prison... yet..."

=Character Information=

===Summary===
Ez-Azael is a face that, should words ever come to fail, can pull in some spiritual aid for situations calling for less finesse. A promising career going up through Ares' chain fell apart at the seams, and now they have to get by with few fall-backs left.

===Goals===
*Get some friends who'd have his back through thick and thin.
*Get some revenge against the son of a bitch that got him hurled out of Ares employment.
*Get some cash to live the non-life-threatening side of things with comfort.
*Get to grips with his dangerously short-fuse. Either quell the rage entirely, or find a way to more finely control when-and-when-not to apply copious rage.

==Background==
Born to mid-level Corp parents working under Ares. They were middle-managers of no particular note.
Awakened as a toddler, and had some mage education through upbringing. Seemed to enjoy the networking and spirit-communication while having no ability for enchantment.
Would grow to be like a stained-glass mosaic: niche artfulness, yet fragile with sharp fragments.
A lay-off ended up catching him, leading to now where he's needing a new job and a way to deal with the chip on his shoulder against the people that got him thrown out of his previous life.

== Narrative Significant Qualities ==

===Positive===
SURGE Class 2 (Sheep)
*Qualities include Goring Horns (the pair of curved horns on his head), Satyr Legs (as would be expected), Vestigial Tail (not as much strong-muscle in his tail, so it's no help for mobility), Berserk (an unusual fight-or-flight reaction reversal to that of most sheep, leading to a fist-flying rage when threatened) and Slow Healer (hard to pin down why or how, but natural-healing is slower than normal for this fellow).

Common Sense
*No matter the situation, there's always that uncanny-yet-accurate feeling in the back of his mind that warns about social faux-pas or overly dangerous situations. It's kept him out of trouble so far, but it has to combat with the aforementioned rage boiling within - an odd Hot versus Cold, but there's been enough times such warning saves his fleece that he makes more an effort to listen.

Too Pretty To Hit, Watch The Suit
*Such pains to keep in good grooming is hard when money is tight. However, sometimes it pays off. With a bat of the eyelashes or a flash of a smile, charm may dissuade blows. Alternatively, a wild-man's psychotic grin and that too-crazy-to-be-high twitch in the eyes can spook someone from wanting to be near madness like that. For Ez-Azael, both are available where best suited.

===Negative===
Corporate SIN (Ares)
*He's on the record and has a "real" life outside the shadows. Worse, it's under one of the major corporations. Going against Ares might be a conflicting matter...

==SINs==
Corporate SIN (Ares)
*Real name is Gabriel Larvor. His address is off in one of the few B-security areas of the Redmond district, and comes with licenses:
**Driver
**Mage
**Adept
**Concealed Carry Permit
**Firearms License
**Restricted Armor

Fake SIN R5
*Given name is William Brecket. No given address of living, but comes with licenses:
**Driver R5
**Mage R5
**Adept R5
**Restricted Armor R5
**Private Investigator R5

==Appearance==
There's little hiding the man's overtly caprine features, including cloven hooves upon his legs and a ram's head fit with curved horns. Still, he's otherwise groomed well enough on the standard of pencil-pushing wage-slaves. Green eyes sit beneath a shaggy mop of blonde hair, said hair being more plush and curly than most folks. His skin, however, is pallid to a point of stark contrast. Some might assume it's albinism, though maybe not since it doesn't seem like bright-lights bug him any more than most folks and his eyes seem to bear vibrant color.

=== Clothing ===
For most non-run work, a simple set of dress-pants and a black button-up shirt serve well enough with whatever tie is picked. Should things require a finer set of clothes, a Mortimer of London Berwick Suit and Ulysses Coat adorns the ork for a fashionably old manner of dress. A white overcoat stands in contrast to the black suit-and-pants he normally wears, with a dark red tie to complete the ensemble.

===Matrix Persona===
Ez-Azael's avatar is simply a stylized skull of a sheep atop a default avatar-body.
