=Character Information=

===Summary===
A chromed-up murder machine of an elf, Voltage is a skilled marksman and a powerhouse fighter. She's great at busting heads and ripping guts for the Ancients, but not so great at, uh... anything that requires her to use her brain for more than about two seconds.

===Goals===
* Make a name for herself with the Ancients
* Upgrade her bike
* Upgrade her 'ware!

==Background==
Voltage has been running with the Ancients since she was big enough to sit on a bike, and she's always been desperate to impress her superiors and gain a solid reputation with them. As planning has never been her strong suit, she decided to follow an impulse and try to accomplish that by setting fire to a prominent pro-human politician's beachfront vacation home. Though no one was in it at the time, it made national news in the CAS as a terrorist attack, and the second it was published, Voltage ''immediately'' began crowing about it to her squad leader. Knowing that her impulsive braggart of a charge was ''bound'' to get her dumb ass dragged off to prison ''probably forever,'' she made arrangements to get her sent off to Seattle's chapter. For better or for worse, Voltage is their responsibility now.

== Narrative Significant Qualities ==
===Positive===
* '''Bilingual:''' Voltage is proud to be an elf, and steeped in elven culture. She speaks Sperethiel and English equally well.
* '''Made Woman:''' She's worked hard and proven her worth in order to become a fully-fledged member of the Ancients.
* '''Vehicle Empathy, Stunt Driver, Steely-Eyed Wheelman:''' Lots of quality time spent with Caroline--who is Voltage's yerzed-out Harley-Davidson Nightmare, ''not'' her girlfriend, despite how she talks about her--has given Voltage the practice and skill to become a highly competent wheelwoman.

===Negative===
* '''Distinctive Style:''' Ancients pride, baby! Even if Voltage puts on something other than biker synthleather, it's pretty obvious she's an Ancient. Oh, and those all-black limbs are pretty memorable.
* '''Emotional Attachment (Caroline):''' Voltage loves her bike. Like, she REALLY loves her bike. Not just in the way that most other go-gangers love their bikes; Voltage talks about Caroline, her yerzed-out Harley-Davidson Nightmare, in the same way one might talk about their girlfriend.
* '''Definitely Not An Elven Supremacist:''' (Favored - Common Target, Biased, Elves; Prejudiced - Common Target, Outspoken, Humans)
Voltage has dealt with a few too many dirty metaracist humans. And since nobody really ''gets'' the kind of metaracism that elves face on the regular, nobody has their back but other elves.
* '''One Born Every Minute:''' Voltage can't seem to wrap her mind around the idea of "ulterior motives."
* '''Poor Self Control (Braggart, Combat Monster, Thrill Seeker):''' Nothing impresses girls in bars like a good story about her risky, daring adventures. She's like a real life action hero!
* '''The Goat:''' What do you ''mean'' the obvious Ancient decked out in obvious cyber isn't suspicious? She's perfectly trustworthy. There's no way she's up to any shady drek.
* '''Uneducated:''' School is for suckers. Voltage learned everything she needs to know on the street.
* '''Wanted (CAS FBI, ¥200k):''' "What, it's not ''more?"''

===Allies===
*'''[[Babylon]]:''' Since Babylon is a higher-ranking Ancients member and leads the squad she runs with, Voltage idolizes her a bit and will do ''absolutely anything that Babylon asks her to,'' for better or for worse. They're also sleeping together and are entirely unsubtle about it.
*'''[[Duchess]]:''' Fellow Ancient, and Voltage's roommate. Duchess leaves her constant reminders to not brag about her bounty like an idiot, but they get along surprisingly well despite coming from opposite tiers of society.
*'''[[Cherry Bomb]]:''' Voltage press-ganged Cherry into joining the Ancients when she tried to steal Caroline by hacking past her anti-theft system. Somehow, she doesn't quite understand why Cherry doesn't want to be BFFs with her yet.

===Enemies===
*'''CAS Federal Bureau of Investigation:''' Voltage is wanted for terrorism and attempted assassination. The CAS FBI is offering a hefty sum of nuyen to anyone who can bring her in, and is also willing to offer a reward for information leading to her arrest.

==Appearance==
Voltage is tall, standing at 196 cm (6'5"). She ''could'' pass for a very leanly-muscled ork at a distance, were it not for the very obvious Ancients colors she wears. She has four obvious matte-black cyberlimbs; the arms are brand-new custom models, but the legs look outdated. Her hair is styled up in a dark green mohawk, and the grown-out roots show that it's naturally a dark brown. There's extensive scarring on the right side of her face and neck.

''Voltage, spurs extended.''
=== Clothing ===
Voltage is almost always wearing her synthleather biker vest with a large Ancients patch proudly displayed on the back. Even when she's not armored up, she tends to dress in gang colors, and tends to value utility over style. She usually wears sleeveless shirts to show off her cyberarms.

===Matrix Persona===
A slightly modded version of an-off-the-rack elf persona. The arms and legs are reskinned to bear ''some'' resemblance to her cyberlimbs, though the texture is a little off, and the hairstyle is an approximation of her own.

==Media Mentions==
Voltage's face has been plastered all over CAS news for getting caught in an act of terrorism and attempted assassination. She's also front and center in a recent viral trid where she's attacking a kraken with a flamethrower somewhere off the CalFree coast.

==Summary==
[[Rose of Sharon Howlett]] has been investigating Westing memorial hospital; She believes [[The Night Throne]] has been acquiring corpses, blood bags, and other medical waste from within. She hires the runners to investigate this and destroy the food source and the Infected defending it.

==Background==
Sharon is correct: Infected have been sourcing their food from that hospital for some time, and have established a warehouse and distribution center in Renton to move their ill-gotten snacks.

==The Meet==
The runners meet up at a uninhabited bar during the day. Sharon tells the runners about the situation, [[Bedhead]] initially refuses payment, but is convinced to accept some. The runners then take a taxi to a motel to plan

==The Plan==
The runners will scope out the hospital physically and on the astral for more leads, if none are found they will simply follow the van carrying the goods to the Infected nest.

==The Run==
[[Spirit Speaker]] and [[Bedhead]] astrally project to the hospital. [[Spirit Speaker]] goes into the ward alone and investigates the building. Finding few things of note, he is spotted by a mage and pursued by a spirit. He flees across the ward with the mage and spirit in pursuit. The mage tails [[Spirit Speaker]] back to his meat body. After a brief altercation, the mage departs and the spirit pursues the runners physically while KE closes in. [[Gav Jacinto|Gav]] manages to defeat the spirit, and the group elects to spend another day licking their wounds and gathering information. [[Bedhead]] calls [[Cold Hands]] and subcontracts her into the run. After communicating with their contacts, the group elects to tail the van. One false alarm later, they pursue the vehicle to a dilapidated warehouse in Renton. Opting for a blitz, the Runners saw open the entrance to the warehouse and attack the Infected. A brutal fight ensues, in which [[Gav Jacinto|Gav]] is almost infected. The runners manage to defeat the infected, and destroy the food supply. [[Bedhead]] goes full anakin mode on the noncombatant Infecteds.

==Aftermath==
30 min over time - 17 RVP total
26k Nuyen or 52k in gear rewards (13 RVP)

==Game Quotes==

{{Gamequote|Amusing quote from game.}}

==Player After Action Reports (AARs)==

===[[Bedhead]]===
Aten is pleased with the results of this run. We struck a great blow against the monsters hiding in this City today.

===[[Spirit Speaker]]===
I will have to greatly improve my astral infiltration skills. Getting trapped inside the barrier nearly resulted in my death and might do so again in the future. At least once I bind this weapon foci I will be able to hold my own properly in astral combat.

=Character Information=

===Summary===
A technomancer and a technological prodigy from an early age, Vip3r has been at home in the Matrix since long before she emerged. She's a skilled hacker and street survivalist, and isn't bad at talking her way out of trouble either.

==Background==

Vip3r taught herself to hack for fun and survival as a juvenile delinquent on the streets of the Redmond Barrens. She was adopted as a teenager by Ken and Laura Tanaka, a pair of middle-class MCT citizens who put her through high school, where she proved to be such a skilled learner that she was handed a corporate scholarship that would ''almost'' cover a college education and give her a direct pipeline to a stable career. In a desperate attempt to cover the rest, Vip3r took a shadowrun that ended in disaster, earning her eight years in Shadow Lake Correctional Facility at the age of seventeen. Four years in, she was offered a deal that would shave two years off of her sentence. It was framed as a work opportunity, but instead, it made her a lab rat in an intense and dubiously-ethical technomancer research operation by MCT.

MCT turns Vip3r loose two years later after the Tanakas signed over their freedom on her behalf, putting her back on the street with no family, no contacts, and not-insignificant neurological damage that rendered her unable to hold a regular job or schedule.

With a criminal SIN and nowhere else to turn for income, she began taking small-time hacking jobs again. As she did, people began to notice her skill, and Vip3r eventually attracted the attention of the Eighty-Eights Triad. They offered to burn her criminal SIN and set her up with a fake if she agreed to work for them in exchange, and in no position to refuse, Vip3r accepted.

==Goals==
* Extract her father, Ken Tanaka, from his lifelong contract with MCT.
* Establish a network with other technomancers, and determine how to use her ability and position to make the world a better place for others like her.

==Narrative Significant Qualities==

===Positive===

*'''Social Infiltrator:''' (Alibi + First Impression + Honest Face)
Having had to adapt to many different living situations over the course of her life has taught Vip3r how to look like she belongs almost anywhere.
*'''Paragon (01):''' At [[Betz]]'s suggestion, Vip3r has sought communion with 01 out of a desire for a deeper understanding of the Resonance and a meaningful connection to other technomancers.
*'''Resonant Stream: Sourceror:''' Having always been heavily reliant on her own ability, Vip3r has chosen to focus on her own skill with complex forms rather than depending on the use of sprites.
*'''School of Hard Knocks:''' Vip3r spent most of her childhood learning to survive on the streets of the Redmond Barrens. Navigating urban life is in her nature.
*'''Sensei:''' [[Betz]] has become a mentor and a source of support for Vip3r. She works with her to help hone her Cracking skills, and to teach her more about what it means to be emerged.

===Negative===
* '''Drug-Dependent:''' (Wired User + Mild Addictions to Psyche & Novacoke)
Using performance-enhancing drugs a little ''too'' frequently has made Vip3r reliant on them.
*'''Snake Queen of the Resonance:''' (Distinctive Style + Unique Avatar)
''Vip3r'' is more than just a name; it's an ''identity.'' Snake tattoos, snakebite piercings, fangs and a split tongue, and a custom-crafted anthropomorphic snake Matrix persona make that identity ''unmistakable.''
*'''Driven:''' When they found out about her captivity in a Mitsuhama black site, Vip3r's adoptive parents gave up their freedom to trade it for hers. She is determined to repay their favor. So far, she's managed to extract her mother, but getting her father out of his contract and on-site employee housing in a newly-constructed Zero Zone she's discovered in Auburn is going to prove far more difficult.

===Organizations===

* '''[[Eighty-Eights Triad]]:''' Despite turning down official membership in the Triad, Vip3r will not work against the Eighty-Eights as a result of the assistance they offered her when she was in need.
* +10 '''[[Mothers of Metahumans]]''' rep and +10 '''[[Skraacha]]''' rep for breaking [[Kenneth "Flamesaw" Murphy]] out of prison.
* -70 Tamanous rep, +10 Black Lodge rep, and +5 Starscreamers rep for destroying Tamanous's largest organ farm in Seattle.
* +13 Cross Applied Technologies rep, -5 Federated Boeing rep for working for Cecelia Cross and burning Brodie J's house down.
* -60 [[Mitsuhama Computer Technologies]] rep for killing four Petrovski Security personnel, kidnapping one of their HR executives, and verbally spitting in a high-ranking executive's face when asked to turn over liberated MCT assets.
* +2 [[Saeder-Krupp]] rep for assisting [[Cricket]]'s foundation dive in [[Full Fathom Five]]
* +5 with the Huk and +2 with Street Docs of Redmond for a rescue extraction.


===Allies===
* '''[[Absolute Zero]]:''' Vip3r's girlfriend, whom she met while living in San Francisco and who followed her back to Seattle a few months later.
* '''[[Black Samurai]]:''' Vip3r's cousin, whom she only met recently as a result of having been cut off from her blood family for years.
* '''[[Harebuck]]:''' Vip3r's best friend and roommate, who introduced her to the Haven.
* '''[[Shine]] & [[Zenith]]:''' Fellow runners who know Vip3r's history and secrets. She considers them a part of her chosen family, along with the above.

* '''[[Kakei Steve|Steven Shimada]]:''' Despite initial [[Family, Duty, Honor|hostility]] and [[Cultivation Crisis|suspicion]] that led to Vip3r [[A Nest of Vipers|resolving to kill him]], Steve extended an olive branch in [[Let Snygones be Snygones]]. She took advantage of the opportunity to make him an ally--mostly because his knowledge of her life before shadowrunning and her involvement with with Laura Tanaka's extraction from MCT would make him a ''terrible'' enemy.

===Enemies===

* '''[[Mitsuhama Computer Technologies]]:''' You read the above information, right? Vip3r has plenty of reason to hate and fear MCT, and is bent on revenge after a year spent avoiding them at all costs.

* '''[[Trevor Avila]]:''' In [[Scab Work]], Trevor hired Vip3r and [[Babylon]] to do some of Tamanous's dirty work after they [[Aching & Festering|destroyed a profitable organ farm]]. He taunted them with the possibility of having their Kill On Sight status cleared with the syndicate, but given that he hired other people whom he holds grudges against, Vip3r was convinced that was never ''really'' an option. They deliberately botched the job, and, terrified at the possibility of Trevor ''literally'' ruining her life with ease, Vip3r knows the only way to fix the situation is to have him killed.

* '''Unnamed Renraku Spider:''' In [[A Steller Discovery]], Vip3r engaged in a heated Matrix battle with a Renraku decker with a cyber-ninja persona who was part of a team sent to retrieve a chunk of Halley's comet. She dodged a series of link-lock-biofeedback-dataspikes and insulted him by forcing him to jack out. He's, uh, ''not happy'' about that encounter, and if Vip3r runs against him again, he'll probably be less than thrilled to see her massive iridescent snersona (snake persona) on the Matrix.

* '''Saito Akio:''' A high-level MCT executive who Vip3r ''personally'' pissed off by refusing to cooperate with his demand to turn in liberated assets. -30 additional negative rep with this asshole personally.

=In Character Information=

==Symbols and Signatures==
As her name would suggest, Vip3r is committed to a snake motif and specifically incorporates African bush vipers into her design. There's no particular symbolism to them; Vip3r just thinks they look cool. Multiple snake tattoos are visible on her forearms and neck, her Matrix persona is an anthropomorphic snake, and her marks look like snakebites.

Delta-grade bioware boosts her cognitive function and toxin filtration (cerebral booster, mnemonic enhancer, nephritic screen), and she is genetically enhanced for a greater resistance to negative drug effects & better highs as well as faster and more efficient neurotransmission.

==Appearance==
Standing at 5'7" (170cm), Vip3r is a Japanese elf woman with a short undercut, snakebite piercings, and visible snake tattoos (which, specifically, are African bush vipers) on her forearms and neck.
===Clothing===
Vip3r dresses for utility and comfort, typically in a street-punk style, favoring blacks and greys with accents in purples or teals. She frequently does her shadowrunning in an armored synthleather jacket, grey with a high collar and plenty of pockets on the inside and out. For jobs with higher-end clients, she has an Executive Suite suit in dark grey, accented in light blue.
===Matrix Persona===
She switches between two Matrix personas, depending on what image she wants to convey. The first, and more "professional" of the two, is a stylized version of her actual appearance, standing slightly taller than her natural height and wearing a long snakeskin coat. The other, which she prefers and which sees more frequent use, is an anthropomorphic snake modelled after an African bush viper, with iridescent dark-purple scales.

==Overview==
Mr. X, a beloved Bargain Basement street doc, is a previous army medic. He's called Mr. X because, as he pulled a woman and her child to safety, the young boy said "thank you Mr. X" after seeing the medic cross on his armband and the name stuck.

He treats infected and clean alike; despite his debt to Tamanous, even THEY recognize that offing such a man is bad for business.

|-
| Disarmed
| Mr. X cannot use his (Cyber) qualities until ShadowHaven members donate enough money (35k)* to replace it or complete an equivalent value in favors for [[Trevor Avila]] (per GM fiat). When the arm is replaced, swap this quality out for the On Edge quality instead.

* These donations cannot be part of any "work for the people" action, but DO come out of run rewards before any code of honor requirements are calculated.
* If [[Trevor Avila]] is dead or unreachable, buying a replacement arm is the only option.
|-
| On Edge
| Tamanous stole his arm after he thought his debt was paid. If you have positive 162s or Tamanous rep, count this as notoriety when calculating dice pools for Mr. X.

Additionally, the Cutters are keeping his clinic safe. If you have positive rep with the Ancients, Mr. X will--by default--treat you as suspicious during social interactions. If you've got a full badge in the Ancients, Mr. X will be treated as prejudiced during social interactions.

=Character Information=

===Summary===
A technomancer and a technological prodigy from an early age, Vip3r has been at home in the Matrix since long before she emerged. She's a skilled hacker and street survivalist, and isn't bad at talking her way out of trouble either.

==Background==

Vip3r taught herself to hack for fun and survival as a juvenile delinquent on the streets of the Redmond Barrens. She was adopted as a teenager by Ken and Laura Tanaka, a pair of middle-class MCT citizens who put her through high school, where she proved to be such a skilled learner that she was handed a corporate scholarship that would ''almost'' cover a college education and give her a direct pipeline to a stable career. In a desperate attempt to cover the rest, Vip3r took a shadowrun that ended in disaster, earning her eight years in Shadow Lake Correctional Facility at the age of seventeen. Four years in, she was offered a deal that would shave two years off of her sentence. It was framed as a work opportunity, but instead, it made her a lab rat in an intense and dubiously-ethical technomancer research operation by MCT.

MCT turns Vip3r loose two years later after the Tanakas signed over their freedom on her behalf, putting her back on the street with no family, no contacts, and not-insignificant neurological damage that rendered her unable to hold a regular job or schedule.

With a criminal SIN and nowhere else to turn for income, she began taking small-time hacking jobs again. As she did, people began to notice her skill, and Vip3r eventually attracted the attention of the Eighty-Eights Triad. They offered to burn her criminal SIN and set her up with a fake if she agreed to work for them in exchange, and in no position to refuse, Vip3r accepted.

==Goals==
* Extract her father, Ken Tanaka, from his lifelong contract with MCT.
* Establish a network with other technomancers, and determine how to use her ability and position to make the world a better place for others like her.

==Narrative Significant Qualities==

===Positive===

*'''Social Infiltrator:''' (Alibi + First Impression + Honest Face)
Having had to adapt to many different living situations over the course of her life has taught Vip3r how to look like she belongs almost anywhere.
*'''Paragon (01):''' At [[Betz]]'s suggestion, Vip3r has sought communion with 01 out of a desire for a deeper understanding of the Resonance and a meaningful connection to other technomancers.
*'''Resonant Stream: Sourceror:''' Having always been heavily reliant on her own ability, Vip3r has chosen to focus on her own skill with complex forms rather than depending on the use of sprites.
*'''School of Hard Knocks:''' Vip3r spent most of her childhood learning to survive on the streets of the Redmond Barrens. Navigating urban life is in her nature.
*'''Sensei:''' [[Betz]] has become a mentor and a source of support for Vip3r. She works with her to help hone her Cracking skills, and to teach her more about what it means to be emerged.

===Negative===
* '''Drug-Dependent:''' (Wired User + Mild Addictions to Psyche & Novacoke)
Using performance-enhancing drugs a little ''too'' frequently has made Vip3r reliant on them.
*'''Snake Queen of the Resonance:''' (Distinctive Style + Unique Avatar)
''Vip3r'' is more than just a name; it's an ''identity.'' Snake tattoos, snakebite piercings, fangs and a split tongue, and a custom-crafted anthropomorphic snake Matrix persona make that identity ''unmistakable.''
*'''Driven:''' When they found out about her captivity in a Mitsuhama black site, Vip3r's adoptive parents gave up their freedom to trade it for hers. She is determined to repay their favor. So far, she's managed to extract her mother, but getting her father out of his contract and on-site employee housing in a newly-constructed Zero Zone she's discovered in Auburn is going to prove far more difficult.

===Organizations===

* '''[[Eighty-Eights Triad]]:''' Despite turning down official membership in the Triad, Vip3r will not work against the Eighty-Eights as a result of the assistance they offered her when she was in need.
* +10 '''[[Mothers of Metahumans]]''' rep and +10 '''[[Skraacha]]''' rep for breaking [[Kenneth "Flamesaw" Murphy]] out of prison.
* -70 Tamanous rep, +10 Black Lodge rep, and +5 Starscreamers rep for destroying Tamanous's largest organ farm in Seattle.
* +13 Cross Applied Technologies rep, -5 Federated Boeing rep for working for Cecelia Cross and burning Brodie J's house down.
* -60 [[Mitsuhama Computer Technologies]] rep for killing four Petrovski Security personnel, kidnapping one of their HR executives, and verbally spitting in a high-ranking executive's face when asked to turn over liberated MCT assets.
* +2 [[Saeder-Krupp]] rep for assisting [[Cricket]]'s foundation dive in [[Full Fathom Five]]
* +5 with the Huk and +2 with Street Docs of Redmond for a rescue extraction.


===Allies===
* '''[[Absolute Zero]]:''' Vip3r's girlfriend, whom she met while living in San Francisco and who followed her back to Seattle a few months later.
* '''[[Black Samurai]]:''' Vip3r's cousin, whom she only met recently as a result of having been cut off from her blood family for years.
* '''[[Harebuck]]:''' Vip3r's best friend and roommate, who introduced her to the Haven.
* '''[[Shine]] & [[Zenith]]:''' Fellow runners who know Vip3r's history and secrets. She considers them a part of her chosen family, along with the above.

* '''[[Kakei Steve|Steven Shimada]]:''' Despite initial [[Family, Duty, Honor|hostility]] and [[Cultivation Crisis|suspicion]] that led to Vip3r [[A Nest of Vipers|resolving to kill him]], Steve extended an olive branch in [[Let Snygones be Snygones]]. She took advantage of the opportunity to make him an ally--mostly because his knowledge of her life before shadowrunning and her involvement with with Laura Tanaka's extraction from MCT would make him a ''terrible'' enemy.

===Enemies===

* '''[[Mitsuhama Computer Technologies]]:''' You read the above information, right? Vip3r has plenty of reason to hate and fear MCT, and is bent on revenge after a year spent avoiding them at all costs.

* '''[[Trevor Avila]]:''' In [[Scab Work]], Trevor hired Vip3r and [[Babylon]] to do some of Tamanous's dirty work after they [[Aching & Festering|destroyed a profitable organ farm]]. He taunted them with the possibility of having their Kill On Sight status cleared with the syndicate, but given that he hired other people whom he holds grudges against, Vip3r was convinced that was never ''really'' an option. They deliberately botched the job, and, terrified at the possibility of Trevor ''literally'' ruining her life with ease, Vip3r knows the only way to fix the situation is to have him killed.

* '''Unnamed Renraku Spider:''' In [[A Steller Discovery]], Vip3r engaged in a heated Matrix battle with a Renraku decker with a cyber-ninja persona who was part of a team sent to retrieve a chunk of Halley's comet. She dodged a series of link-lock-biofeedback-dataspikes and insulted him by forcing him to jack out. He's, uh, ''not happy'' about that encounter, and if Vip3r runs against him again, he'll probably be less than thrilled to see her massive iridescent snersona (snake persona) on the Matrix.

=In Character Information=

==Symbols and Signatures==
As her name would suggest, Vip3r is committed to a snake motif and specifically incorporates African bush vipers into her design. There's no particular symbolism to them; Vip3r just thinks they look cool. Multiple snake tattoos are visible on her forearms and neck, her Matrix persona is an anthropomorphic snake, and her marks look like snakebites.

=Character Information=

===Summary===
A chromed-up murder machine of an elf, Voltage is a skilled marksman and a powerhouse fighter. She's great at busting heads and ripping guts for the Ancients, but not so great at, uh... anything that requires her to use her brain for more than about two seconds.

===Goals===
* Make a name for herself with the Ancients
* Upgrade her bike
* Upgrade her 'ware!

==Background==
Voltage has been running with the Ancients since she was big enough to sit on a bike, and she's always been desperate to impress her superiors and gain a solid reputation with them. As planning has never been her strong suit, she decided to follow an impulse and try to accomplish that by setting fire to a prominent pro-human politician's beachfront vacation home. Though no one was in it at the time, it made national news in the CAS as a terrorist attack, and the second it was published, Voltage ''immediately'' began crowing about it to her squad leader. Knowing that her impulsive braggart of a charge was ''bound'' to get her dumb ass dragged off to prison ''probably forever,'' she made arrangements to get her sent off to Seattle's chapter. For better or for worse, Voltage is their responsibility now.

== Narrative Significant Qualities ==
===Positive===
* '''Bilingual:''' Voltage is proud to be an elf, and steeped in elven culture. She speaks Sperethiel and English equally well.
* '''Made Woman:''' She's worked hard and proven her worth in order to become a fully-fledged member of the Ancients.
* '''Vehicle Empathy, Stunt Driver, Steely-Eyed Wheelman:''' Lots of quality time spent with Caroline--who is Voltage's yerzed-out Harley-Davidson Nightmare, ''not'' her girlfriend, despite how she talks about her--has given Voltage the practice and skill to become a highly competent wheelwoman.

===Negative===
* '''Distinctive Style:''' Ancients pride, baby! Even if Voltage puts on something other than biker synthleather, it's pretty obvious she's an Ancient. Oh, and those all-black limbs are pretty memorable.
* '''Emotional Attachment (Caroline):''' Voltage loves her bike. Like, she REALLY loves her bike. Not just in the way that most other go-gangers love their bikes; Voltage talks about Caroline, her yerzed-out Harley-Davidson Nightmare, in the same way one might talk about their girlfriend.
* '''Definitely Not An Elven Supremacist:''' (Favored - Common Target, Biased, Elves; Prejudiced - Common Target, Outspoken, Humans)
Voltage has dealt with a few too many dirty metaracist humans. And since nobody really ''gets'' the kind of metaracism that elves face on the regular, nobody has their back but other elves.
* '''One Born Every Minute:''' Voltage can't seem to wrap her mind around the idea of "ulterior motives."
* '''Poor Self Control (Braggart, Combat Monster, Thrill Seeker):''' Nothing impresses girls in bars like a good story about her risky, daring adventures. She's like a real life action hero!
* '''The Goat:''' What do you ''mean'' the obvious Ancient decked out in obvious cyber isn't suspicious? She's perfectly trustworthy. There's no way she's up to any shady drek.
* '''Uneducated:''' School is for suckers. Voltage learned everything she needs to know on the street.
* '''Wanted (CAS FBI, ¥200k):''' "What, it's not ''more?"''

*'''[[Babylon]]:''' Since Babylon is a higher-ranking Ancients member and leads the squad she runs with, Voltage idolizes her a bit and will do ''absolutely anything that Babylon asks her to,'' for better or for worse. They're also sleeping together and are entirely unsubtle about it.
*'''[[Duchess]]:''' Fellow Ancient, and Voltage's roommate. Duchess leaves her constant reminders to not brag about her bounty like an idiot, but they get along surprisingly well despite coming from opposite tiers of society.
*'''[[Cherry Bomb]]:''' Voltage press-ganged Cherry into joining the Ancients when she tried to steal Caroline by hacking past her anti-theft system. Somehow, she doesn't quite understand why Cherry doesn't want to be BFFs with her yet.

===Enemies===
*'''CAS Federal Bureau of Investigation:''' Voltage is wanted for terrorism and attempted assassination. The CAS FBI is offering a hefty sum of nuyen to anyone who can bring her in, and is also willing to offer a reward for information leading to her arrest.

Image metadata is mostly localized around Tarislar.
|HighResult=If you're running an image search, you'll easily find her face plastered all over news reports, stating that the CAS Department of Homeland Security is offering a large sum of nuyen for information leading to her arrest, and will award ¥200,000 to anyone who's actually able to bring her in.

|HighResult=Maybe the brashness is a front, or maybe it isn't--but Voltage conducts herself with a surprising amount of discretion on the job. While violence is her forte, she's also skilled at stealthy and non-lethal approaches to her work. Favors elven employers, and is often a little rude to humans.

* '''Finley Callahan''' - R4 UCAS fake SIN. Bodyguard, restricted augmentations, firearms, concealed carry, driver's licenses.
* '''Carey Luna''' - R6 Aztechnology fake SIN. Bodyguard, restricted augmentations, firearms, concealed carry, driver's licenses.

==Appearance==
Voltage is tall, standing at 196 cm (6'5"). She ''could'' pass for a very leanly-muscled ork at a distance, were it not for the very obvious Ancients colors she wears. She has four obvious matte-black cyberlimbs; the arms are brand-new custom models, but the legs look outdated. Her hair is styled up in a dark green mohawk, and the grown-out roots show that it's naturally a dark brown. There's extensive scarring on the right side of her face and neck.

[[File:Voltage spurs.jpg|400px]]

''Voltage, spurs extended.''
=== Clothing ===
Voltage is almost always wearing her synthleather biker vest with a large Ancients patch proudly displayed on the back. Even when she's not armored up, she tends to dress in gang colors, and tends to value utility over style. She usually wears sleeveless shirts to show off her cyberarms.

===Matrix Persona===
A slightly modded version of an-off-the-rack elf persona. The arms and legs are reskinned to bear ''some'' resemblance to her cyberlimbs, though the texture is a little off, and the hairstyle is an approximation of her own.

==Media Mentions==
Voltage's face has been plastered all over CAS news for getting caught in an act of terrorism and attempted assassination. She's also front and center in a recent viral trid where she's attacking a kraken with a flamethrower somewhere off the CalFree coast.

=Character Information=

===Summary===
A chromed-up murder machine of an elf, Voltage is a skilled marksman and a powerhouse fighter. She's great at busting heads and ripping guts for the Ancients, but not so great at, uh... anything that requires her to use her brain for more than about two seconds.

===Goals===
* Make a name for herself with the Ancients
* Upgrade her bike
* Upgrade her 'ware!

==Background==
Voltage has been running with the Ancients since she was big enough to sit on a bike, and she's always been desperate to impress her superiors and gain a solid reputation with them. As planning has never been her strong suit, she decided to follow an impulse and try to accomplish that by setting fire to a prominent pro-human politician's beachfront vacation home. Though no one was in it at the time, it made national news in the CAS as a terrorist attack, and the second it was published, Voltage ''immediately'' began crowing about it to her squad leader. Knowing that her impulsive braggart of a charge was ''bound'' to get her dumb ass dragged off to prison ''probably forever,'' she made arrangements to get her sent off to Seattle's chapter. For better or for worse, Voltage is their responsibility now.

== Narrative Significant Qualities ==
===Positive===
* '''Bilingual:''' Voltage is proud to be an elf, and steeped in elven culture. She speaks Sperethiel and English equally well.
* '''Made Woman:''' She's worked hard and proven her worth in order to become a fully-fledged member of the Ancients.
* '''Vehicle Empathy, Stunt Driver, Steely-Eyed Wheelman:''' Lots of quality time spent with Caroline--who is Voltage's yerzed-out Harley-Davidson Nightmare, ''not'' her girlfriend, despite how she talks about her--has given Voltage the practice and skill to become a highly competent wheelwoman.

===Negative===
* '''Distinctive Style:''' Ancients pride, baby! Even if Voltage puts on something other than biker synthleather, it's pretty obvious she's an Ancient. Oh, and those all-black limbs are pretty memorable.
* '''Emotional Attachment (Caroline):''' Voltage loves her bike. Like, she REALLY loves her bike. Not just in the way that most other go-gangers love their bikes; Voltage talks about Caroline, her yerzed-out Harley-Davidson Nightmare, in the same way one might talk about their girlfriend.
* '''Definitely Not An Elven Supremacist:''' (Favored - Common Target, Biased, Elves; Prejudiced - Common Target, Outspoken, Humans)
Voltage has dealt with a few too many dirty metaracist humans. And since nobody really ''gets'' the kind of metaracism that elves face on the regular, nobody has their back but other elves.
* '''One Born Every Minute:''' Voltage can't seem to wrap her mind around the idea of "ulterior motives."
* '''Poor Self Control (Braggart, Combat Monster, Thrill Seeker):''' Nothing impresses girls in bars like a good story about her risky, daring adventures. She's like a real life action hero!
* '''The Goat:''' What do you ''mean'' the obvious Ancient decked out in obvious cyber isn't suspicious? She's perfectly trustworthy. There's no way she's up to any shady drek.
* '''Uneducated:''' School is for suckers. Voltage learned everything she needs to know on the street.
* '''Wanted (CAS FBI, ¥200k):''' "What, it's not ''more?"''

===Allies===
*'''[[Babylon]]:''' Since Babylon is a higher-ranking Ancients member and leads the squad she runs with, Voltage idolizes her a bit and will do ''absolutely anything that Babylon asks her to,'' for better or for worse. They're also sleeping together and are entirely unsubtle about it.
*'''[[Duchess]]:''' Fellow Ancient, and Voltage's roommate. Duchess leaves her constant reminders to not brag about her bounty like an idiot, but they get along surprisingly well despite coming from opposite tiers of society.
*'''[[Cherry Bomb]]:''' Voltage press-ganged Cherry into joining the Ancients when she tried to steal Caroline by hacking past her anti-theft system. Somehow, she doesn't quite understand why Cherry doesn't want to be BFFs with her yet.

===Enemies===
*'''CAS Federal Bureau of Investigation:''' Voltage is wanted for terrorism and attempted assassination. The CAS FBI is offering a hefty sum of nuyen to anyone who can bring her in, and is also willing to offer a reward for information leading to her arrest.

=In Character Information=

==Symbols and Signatures==
Voltage displays her Ancients circle-A patch on her synthleather vest, and flies her gang colors with pride.

==Matrix Search Table==
{{SearchTable|
|LowResult=An electromotive force or potential difference expressed in volts.
|MidResult=A member of the Ancients, originally from Miami. There's a viral trid of her blasting a kraken with green fire from a flamethrower and lots of photos of her on a yerzed-out Harley-Davidson Nightmare, and she's proudly throwing Ancients gang signs in almost all of them. Image metadata is mostly localized around Tarislar.
|HighResult=If you're running an image search, you'll easily find her face plastered all over news reports, stating that the CAS Department of Homeland Security is offering a large sum of nuyen for information leading to her arrest, and will award ¥200,000 to anyone who's actually able to bring her in. The name ''Delara Ó Máille'' is attached to the bounty postings.

|HighThreshold=5
|HighResult=Maybe the brashness is a front, or maybe it isn't--but Voltage conducts herself with a surprising amount of discretion on the job. While violence is her forte, she's also skilled at stealthy and non-lethal approaches to her work. Favors elven employers, and is often a little rude to humans.

==SINs==
* '''Finley Callahan''' - R4 UCAS fake SIN. Bodyguard, restricted augmentations, firearms, concealed carry, driver's licenses.
* '''Carey Luna''' - R6 Aztechnology fake SIN. Bodyguard, restricted augmentations, firearms, concealed carry, driver's licenses.

==Appearance==
Voltage is tall, standing at 196 cm (6'5"). She ''could'' pass for a very leanly-muscled ork at a distance, were it not for the very obvious Ancients colors she wears. She has four obvious matte-black cyberlimbs; the arms are brand-new custom models, but the legs look outdated. Her hair is styled up in a dark green mohawk, and the grown-out roots show that it's naturally a dark brown. There's extensive scarring on the right side of her face and neck.

[[File:Voltage spurs.jpg|400px]]

''Voltage, spurs extended.''
=== Clothing ===
Voltage is almost always wearing her synthleather biker vest with a large Ancients patch proudly displayed on the back. Even when she's not armored up, she tends to dress in gang colors, and tends to value utility over style. She usually wears sleeveless shirts to show off her cyberarms.

===Matrix Persona===
A slightly modded version of an-off-the-rack elf persona. The arms and legs are reskinned to bear ''some'' resemblance to her cyberlimbs, though the texture is a little off, and the hairstyle is an approximation of her own.

==Media Mentions==
Voltage's face has been plastered all over CAS news for getting caught in an act of terrorism and attempted assassination. She's also front and center in a recent viral trid where she's attacking a kraken with a flamethrower somewhere off the CalFree coast.

=Character Information=

===Summary===
A technomancer and a technological prodigy from an early age, Vip3r has been at home in the Matrix since long before she emerged. She's a skilled hacker and street survivalist, and isn't bad at talking her way out of trouble either.

==Background==

Vip3r taught herself to hack for fun and survival as a juvenile delinquent on the streets of the Redmond Barrens. She was adopted as a teenager by Ken and Laura Tanaka, a pair of middle-class MCT citizens who put her through high school, where she proved to be such a skilled learner that she was handed a corporate scholarship that would ''almost'' cover a college education and give her a direct pipeline to a stable career. In a desperate attempt to cover the rest, Vip3r took a shadowrun that ended in disaster, earning her eight years in Shadow Lake Correctional Facility at the age of seventeen. Four years in, she was offered a deal that would shave two years off of her sentence. It was framed as a work opportunity, but instead, it made her a lab rat in an intense and dubiously-ethical technomancer research operation by MCT.

MCT turns Vip3r loose two years later after the Tanakas signed over their freedom on her behalf, putting her back on the street with no family, no contacts, and not-insignificant neurological damage that rendered her unable to hold a regular job or schedule.

With a criminal SIN and nowhere else to turn for income, she began taking small-time hacking jobs again. As she did, people began to notice her skill, and Vip3r eventually attracted the attention of the Eighty-Eights Triad. They offered to burn her criminal SIN and set her up with a fake if she agreed to work for them in exchange, and in no position to refuse, Vip3r accepted.

==Goals==
* Extract her father, Ken Tanaka, from his lifelong contract with MCT.
* Establish a network with other technomancers, and determine how to use her ability and position to make the world a better place for others like her.

==Narrative Significant Qualities==

===Positive===

*'''Social Infiltrator:''' (Alibi + First Impression + Honest Face)
Having had to adapt to many different living situations over the course of her life has taught Vip3r how to look like she belongs almost anywhere.
*'''Paragon (01):''' At [[Betz]]'s suggestion, Vip3r has sought communion with 01 out of a desire for a deeper understanding of the Resonance and a meaningful connection to other technomancers.
*'''Resonant Stream: Sourceror:''' Having always been heavily reliant on her own ability, Vip3r has chosen to focus on her own skill with complex forms rather than depending on the use of sprites.
*'''School of Hard Knocks:''' Vip3r spent most of her childhood learning to survive on the streets of the Redmond Barrens. Navigating urban life is in her nature.
*'''Sensei:''' [[Betz]] has become a mentor and a source of support for Vip3r. She works with her to help hone her Cracking skills, and to teach her more about what it means to be emerged.

===Negative===
* '''Drug-Dependent:''' (Wired User + Mild Addictions to Psyche & Novacoke)
Using performance-enhancing drugs a little ''too'' frequently has made Vip3r reliant on them.
*'''Snake Queen of the Resonance:''' (Distinctive Style + Unique Avatar)
''Vip3r'' is more than just a name; it's an ''identity.'' Snake tattoos, snakebite piercings, fangs and a split tongue, and a custom-crafted anthropomorphic snake Matrix persona make that identity ''unmistakable.''
*'''Driven:''' When they found out about her captivity in a Mitsuhama black site, Vip3r's adoptive parents gave up their freedom to trade it for hers. She is determined to repay their favor. So far, she's managed to extract her mother, but getting her father out of his contract and on-site employee housing in a newly-constructed Zero Zone she's discovered in Auburn is going to prove far more difficult.

===Organizations===

* '''[[Eighty-Eights Triad]]:''' Despite turning down official membership in the Triad, Vip3r will not work against the Eighty-Eights as a result of the assistance they offered her when she was in need.
* +10 '''[[Mothers of Metahumans]]''' rep and +10 '''[[Skraacha]]''' rep for breaking [[Kenneth "Flamesaw" Murphy]] out of prison.
* -70 Tamanous rep, +10 Black Lodge rep, and +5 Starscreamers rep for destroying Tamanous's largest organ farm in Seattle.

===Allies===
* '''[[Absolute Zero]]:''' Vip3r's girlfriend, whom she met while living in San Francisco and who followed her back to Seattle a few months later.
* '''[[Black Samurai]]:''' Vip3r's cousin, whom she only met recently as a result of having been cut off from her blood family for years.
* '''[[Harebuck]]:''' Vip3r's best friend and roommate, who introduced her to the Haven.
* '''[[Shine]] & [[Zenith]]:''' Fellow runners who know Vip3r's history and secrets. She considers them a part of her chosen family, along with the above.

* '''[[Kakei Steve|Steven Shimada]]:''' Despite initial [[Family, Duty, Honor|hostility]] and [[Cultivation Crisis|suspicion]] that led to Vip3r [[A Nest of Vipers|resolving to kill him]], Steve extended an olive branch in [[Let Snygones be Snygones]]. She took advantage of the opportunity to make him an ally--mostly because his knowledge of her life before shadowrunning and her involvement with with Laura Tanaka's extraction from MCT would make him a ''terrible'' enemy.

===Enemies===

* '''[[Mitsuhama Computer Technologies]]:''' You read the above information, right? Vip3r has plenty of reason to hate and fear MCT, and is bent on revenge after a year spent avoiding them at all costs.

* '''[[Trevor Avila]]:''' In [[Scab Work]], Trevor hired Vip3r and [[Babylon]] to do some of Tamanous's dirty work after they [[Aching & Festering|destroyed a profitable organ farm]]. He taunted them with the possibility of having their Kill On Sight status cleared with the syndicate, but given that he hired other people whom he holds grudges against, Vip3r was convinced that was never ''really'' an option. They deliberately botched the job, and, terrified at the possibility of Trevor ''literally'' ruining her life with ease, Vip3r knows the only way to fix the situation is to have him killed.

* '''Unnamed Renraku Spider:''' In [[A Steller Discovery]], Vip3r engaged in a heated Matrix battle with a Renraku decker with a cyber-ninja persona who was part of a team sent to retrieve a chunk of Halley's comet. She dodged a series of link-lock-biofeedback-dataspikes and insulted him by forcing him to jack out. He's, uh, ''not happy'' about that encounter, and if Vip3r runs against him again, he'll probably be less than thrilled to see her massive iridescent snersona (snake persona) on the Matrix.

=In Character Information=

==Symbols and Signatures==
As her name would suggest, Vip3r is committed to a snake motif and specifically incorporates African bush vipers into her design. There's no particular symbolism to them; Vip3r just thinks they look cool. Multiple snake tattoos are visible on her forearms and neck, her Matrix persona is an anthropomorphic snake, and her marks look like snakebites.

==Appearance==
Standing at 5'7" (170cm), Vip3r is a Japanese elf woman with a short undercut, snakebite piercings, and visible snake tattoos (which, specifically, are African bush vipers) on her forearms and neck.
===Clothing===
Vip3r dresses for utility and comfort, typically in a street-punk style, favoring blacks and greys with accents in purples or teals. She frequently does her shadowrunning in an armored synthleather jacket, grey with a high collar and plenty of pockets on the inside and out. For jobs with higher-end clients, she has an Executive Suite suit in dark grey, accented in light blue.
===Matrix Persona===
She switches between two Matrix personas, depending on what image she wants to convey. The first, and more "professional" of the two, is a stylized version of her actual appearance, standing slightly taller than her natural height and wearing a long snakeskin coat. The other, which she prefers and which sees more frequent use, is an anthropomorphic snake modelled after an African bush viper, with iridescent dark-purple scales.

==Summary==
[[Vip3r|Piper]] and [[Black Samurai|Akira Mori]] have a series of difficult and dramatic conversations with family members and drag [[Absolute Zero]] with them on an impromptu vacation to Montreal.

==Background==
During their last meeting with Finn Mori--who is Akira's sister and Piper's cousin--she told them that she's currently working as an intern with [[Ace Powers]]. After Piper's [[Among The Stars|recent run]] where Ace served as the Johnson, she has some concerns about her safety, which she and Akira conversed about. They eventually come to the conclusion that Finn deserves to know that they're runners, and invite her out to Akira's cabin south of the sprawl.

As Vip3r drives to Puyallup to meet up with Black Samurai, she calls her biological mother (Makoto Mori) to check in with her and see how she's doing. She's working when Vip3r calls and isn't able to talk for long, but mentions offhandedly that she plans to "see Titania" later. Suspicious, Vip3r asks her who she's talking about. Makoto simply identifies her as "a friend" and seems unwilling to elaborate. On a hunch that this might have something to do with her BTL addiction, Vip3r reminds her of the agreement they made regarding her financial assistance to her mother and her chip use, then amicably ends the call and lets her return to work.

==Kids are Different Today==
Vip3r & Black Sam take Sam's Shin-Hyung out to the cabin on a disused Ancients smuggling route. A pair of Ancients on bikes cut them off, telling Sam that they've seen him take this route multiple times in a vehicle that wasn't meant to travel it, and in the interest of not bringing heat down on their turf they'd like something in return. While Sam thinks about how easily he could butcher the go-gangers with his katana, Vip3r decides to take a much more diplomatic route. Having been approached by both [[Babylon]] and [[Duchess]] in the past to contract her hacking services and having discussed the issue at length with [[Freya]], she knows that the gang is sorely in need of hackers. She tells one Ancient that she's willing to work out a trade, slyly flashing her "cyberdeck" where it's holstered under her jacket. The favor seems like agreement enough, and the gangers hand [[Ether]]'s business cards to each of them.

The cabin is sparsely appointed and still very much under construction, with one of the four walls completely torn down and in the process of being gradually rebuilt. As Black Sam is showing Vip3r around, Finn drives up in her Fun One. They all sit down on the floor of the cabin, opening a pizza box and a bottle of bourbon, and begin to talk for a while until Black Sam finally cuts to the chase.

He asks Finn what she thinks he does for a living, and she responds that she's sure it's something violent and illegal like beating up people for a gang leader (which is not entirely untrue, given the work he's done for [[Warboss]] to clear his debt with him). He admits to being a shadowrunner, and she stares in stunned silence for a minute before pulling up videos of [[Dance among the Fading Memories|recent acts of terrorism]], asking if he does ''things like this.'' Sam desperately attempts to walk the conversation back and explain, saying that he tries to mitigate the violence that occurs in this line of work. Finn isn't satisfied by this. Why doesn't he just kill people who cause these things to happen? Why doesn't he just kill the people who pay runners to commit acts of terrorism? Why can't he just get a normal job doing something legal instead of persisting in a line of work that could get him killed ''tomorrow?''

Vip3r, who up to this point has been swirling her bourbon in her glass and wondering if it's better to just keep her cover as a cybersecurity contractor with S-K, finally interjects to say that not everyone who becomes a runner has a choice in the matter. She tells her that her career as a shadowrunner began after she was released from prison and couldn't find work or housing because she was saddled with a criminal SIN, and was offered the chance to get rid of her problems if she just put her skills to work. This still doesn't satisfy Finn, who maintains that since Vip3r has the skill to do what she claims to do, she would be able to easily get a GED and get fast-tracked through college if she went to work for a corp. As Finn grows more and more insistent, Vip3r grows more and more distressed, realizing that she has to continue to reveal more about her past. She tells Finn that she ''can't'' go to work for a corp, because then she'd need to get licensed as a technomancer--which is how she got sent to prison on trumped-up charges to begin with--and that having her identity out in the open would put her in incredible danger. Finn ''still'' doesn't buy it, saying that she knows people who are technomancers who are employed in corporate positions and are paid well for their skills. Seeing no way around a full reveal, Vip3r finally breaks down and tells her that the reason she can't have the normal job or life that she's been trying so desperately to present to Finn is that she spent two years as a test subject in a black site. She continues her tirade about how she has to try so desperately to fit in and seem ''normal'' despite having to live with unbelieveable trauma and knowledge that sounds like conspiracy theory-level drek, when Finn catches her off guard with an apologetic look and a hug. Not having expected to disarm Finn, and unsure what to do now that all of her pent-up emotion is suddenly being redirected, Vip3r breaks down crying.

When she finally calms down, the conversation resumes in a much less heated tone. Finn still doesn't understand why her brother and cousin continue to live as shadowrunners. Black Samurai mentions the freedom it affords to turn down jobs, and Vip3r holds up the fact that life in the shadows allows her a chance at rebuilding the other half of her family. While Finn still doesn't quite ''get it,'' she's begun to see their side of the issue. They finish dinner, Finn heads home, and Black Samurai offers to share some novacoke with Vip3r while they hang out at the cabin for the rest of the night.

==To Calm Her Down==
While watching an old episode of ''My Parents Are Shadowrunners,'' Vip3r receives a call from an unknown commcode originating in Quebec. She picks up to see her adoptive mother, Laura Tanaka, on the other end of the call, looking panicked and telling her she wants to meet to discuss something important. But even with the satellite link that Black Samurai installed in the cabin, the noise here is almost unbearable and the connection crackles and cuts out. Vip3r panics, looking to Black Sam and telling him that she needs him to drive her back into town immediately. He begins to pack up without question, loading their things into the Shin-Hyung's trunk and driving off.

Once she has a decent signal, Vip3r attempts to call the commcode from which she received the call and gets a message saying it's no longer in service. She calls Laura's commcode, failing initially to receive an answer, and begins obsessively trying again and again while Black Sam quickly packs a bag in anticipation of an impromptu road trip to Montreal.

The comm call attempts continue, until Laura finally answers around 11:30 pm (which is 2:30 am her time). She's concerned and confused, asking what all the repeated missed calls were about. Vip3r, ''also'' incredibly confused, reminds her of the call from earlier and asks her what she needed to talk about, because it seemed important. Laura seems to have no idea what Vip3r's talking about, can tell that she's clearly ''very intoxicated,'' and asks her if she's okay, requesting that she call her back in the morning. Vip3r hesitates for a moment, then hits her with a string of rapid-fire questions about everything from the names of the kids she ran with on the street to the albums that Laura used to play on repeat in the car on their morning drives to school. While all of her answers are correct, there's enough hesitation there for Vip3r to not be totally sure if she's really talking to Laura, and after dealing with impostors on her [[Across the Line|last job]], is suddenly terrified that she may have been replaced by someone else. She ends the call and promises to call in the morning, but is even less satisfied than before.

==She Burns A Frozen Steak==
They arrive at Vip3r's Bellevue apartment, and Vip3r runs inside in a panic, immediately checking for anything out of place with any of the devices in her home and fixating on a muddled resonance signature on her soykaf maker that ''might'' belong to [[Cecelia Cross]]; it's unclear. She turns to [[Absolute Zero]] where she sits watching the same ''My Parents are Shadowrunners'' episode on the couch, and immediately asks her if anyone besides her and [[Harebuck]] have been in the apartment. Zero says no, confused, and asks what's going on. Vip3r tries to think of the best way to explain the situation, realizing that 1) she doesn't know what's going on and can't explain it in a way that makes sense, and 2) she's managed to accidentally brick the soykaf maker in her distress. She looks back to Zero, telling her to get dressed because she needs to talk to someone at E-Vue and wants Zero to be there.

She neglects, of course, to tell Zero that her hastily-hatched plan involves potentially using the mind probe spell that she learned a while back, and that mind probing [[Cecelia Cross|a high-level and extremely vindictive A-corp exec]] will absolutely get all of them killed. But all ideas are great ideas when you've done enough novacoke.

The three runners arrive at E-Vue shortly after. As is her general procedure, Vip3r immediately goes to the front of the line, apologizing to [[Vee-Jay]] for ''constantly'' disrespecting order and whipping a credstick out of her pocket. She tells him that she has urgent business inside and will offer him however much money he wants to get inside--¥2k? ¥4k?--Vip3r knows he's working on a graduate degree, and he ''must'' need money. Vee-Jay verbally refuses, but then sends Black Samurai a message telling him to have Vip3r slip him the credstick unnoticed and he'll have someone let them in the back, because he's planning a wedding and ''desperately'' needs money. Vip3r goes along with the act, apologizing profusely with a handshake (which serves as the vehicle for the credstick exchange), and goes to the back of the line until Tee and Vee come out to bring them inside.

Vip3r immediately marches up to Cecelia's office, and is confronted by Cecelia's obscenely tall bodyguard who is suddenly far more intimidating than she is attractive. She asks to speak with Cecelia anyway, and she and her companions are allowed inside.

As soon as Vip3r sits down and Cecelia asks her what she needs to talk about, she suddenly realizes that this was a ''horrible'' plan and anything she tells her is going to make her sound absolutely unhinged and will likely hinder her plans to extract her father. She can't possibly expect an honest answer about what kind of nefarious things she suspects Cecelia may be up to, because she'd never admit to anything that Vip3r is concerned about--especially when Cecelia knows her past. She spends a minute hesitating, watching Black Samurai pet the lion that she keeps, then finally opens up. She mentions she's worried about Laura, as a result of the comm calls she'd received, as well as the fact that Cecelia now has people like Drs. X and Shinji in her employ. Vip3r falters for a moment, trying to think of the most diplomatic way to word what she's thinking; in the absence of any alternative, she comes out and says that she worries about what Cecelia is planning, and that Cross may end up as the new MCT.

Predictably, Cecelia is livid about this and demands that Vip3r elaborate on what she means. Absolute Zero then chooses the absolute ''best'' time to assense Cecelia, which makes her even ''angrier,'' and the group almost gets thrown out, only to be saved by Black Sam's attempt to remedy the situation by holding up Vip3r's dedication to her family.

Caught off guard by this, Vip3r attempts to walk the statement back, saying that the reason she's concerned about this is that it seems so unlike Cecelia (which is a lie), and she wants to ensure that none of what's happened to her happens to anyone else. Cecelia finally explains that her intent is to use her knowledge gained from MCT and NeoNET to advance knowledge, ''not'' to cause prolonged suffering. Shinji and X happen to have useful knowledge, which is why Cecelia needs them. While she doesn't appreciate Vip3r's accusation of potentially replacing Laura with a bodysnatcher, she states that she would have no reason to do such a thing and is willing to ensure it didn't happen--even to go so far as to fly out to Montreal tomorrow morning to speak with her directly.

While Vip3r is by no means satisfied with this, it soothes her anxiety a little bit, and she asks if she and her companions can accompany her on that trip so that Vip3r can verify for herself. Cecelia agrees to Black Samurai going, but seems much colder toward Zero and is adamantly opposed until Black Samurai offers to do a job for Cecelia for free if she allows it. She reluctantly agrees to this, and the runners board a flight to Montreal the following morning.

Two days spent with Laura Tanaka seem to sufficiently confirm that she is indeed who she's supposed to be, and seems to not have been replaced by anyone else. Zero confirms that her aura looks the same as what she saw during the extraction. Vip3r is still doubtful, but with no evidence of anything she should worry about, she convinces herself she should be satisfied.

==Outside The Door, She Took Four More==
After returning to Seattle, Vip3r receives a comm call from [[David Yang]], asking for some help with some code and offering a premium rate for her help since it can't be sent over the Matrix; she's needed on site at a BTL den in Tacoma. Vip3r is frustrated with the request, but agrees anyway, expecting to need help again from the [[Eighty-Eights Triad]] in the future.

She arrives and does the requested work, which is a simple problem she's seen before; a line of code was skipped or deleted, and is a relatively easy fix. As she's repairing it, Black Samurai sees Makoto Mori (Vip3r's biological mother) enter, tell one of the staff that she's here to "see Titania," and be led into a private room. The footage is recorded by his cybereyes and he sends it to Vip3r, who is distressed and distracted in the middle of her work, but finishes the job anyway. Yang thanks her profusely, glad that he doesn't have to yell at the manufacturer in Hong Kong. She collects her payment, and goes to wait outside the door until her private dreamchip session ends.

Makoto doesn't expect to be confronted by her daughter on her way out and looks incredibly guilty to have been caught in her habit. Instead of immediately castigating her for it, Vip3r invites her to get something to eat and have a private conversation. Her mother struggles to remember Akira, recognizing him but taking some time to recall how she knew him. Vip3r is unsure of how to define her relationship with Zero to someone who's never met her before when she sees it as a big series of question marks herself, and settles on "My roommate? It's complicated."--which was probably the worst choice possible.

Zero rants about the injustice of being relegated to ''roommate'' status to Black Samurai as they get coffee nearby, while Vip3r has a long and frustrating conversation with her mother. She asks if Makoto remembers what made her run away all those years ago--which she struggles to do--and then proceeds to walk her through the events, how someone came to the door asking where she was, offering to pay Makoto if she told them, and how Vip3r knew they were looking to collect on technomancer bounties and ran out the fire escape. She fires back by asking Vip3r if she ever considered how she might've made her chip problem worse. Vip3r looks hurt, she realizes how aggressive she's being, and dials it back a bit; what did Vip3r expect her to do, just watch trids and use normal simsense as escapism? She doesn't touch tripchips and has eased off of personafixes after Vip3r's one encounter with her while she used one, and besides, she's using chips in as safe a way as possible, in a secure place that's dedicated to their use instead of in an alley somewhere.

Vip3r finally makes a concession at that, saying it's ''also'' probably better for her to buy from the Triad than the Yakuza; the Eighty-Eights aren't the worst source for vices. Her mother promises to try to use chips less frequently, which Vip3r tells her is all she can really ask for.

==Aftermath==
The group all meets up again. They drop Makoto off at the cheap motel where she lives and works in an incredibly poignant scene.

Vip3r and Zero arrive at home, and have another difficult and dramatic talk about their own relationship--which ultimately ends in them deciding to be more than ''roommates.''

==Game Quotes==

{{Gamequote|"I'm absolutely horrendous socially, so from the bottom of my heart: my bad." -[[Absolute Zero]]}}

==Player After Action Reports (AARs)==

===[[Black Samurai|Akira]]===
I feel bad for worrying Finn, but she needed to know what she was tangentially embroiled in. I am--as Finn thumbed right away--pretty useless to change the tide of things. But, there are jobs that need to be done, and I am more capable than most other runners and am learning to minimize the fallout around myself, even if others won't.

I trust [[Vip3r|Piper]]. I saw her mother--full of panic with my own eyes. I want to get to the bottom of this. I also recognize that [[Cecelia Cross|Cecelia]] is probably telling us a partial truth...that she's here to restore her family's company and--in the process--make a small fortune. I am not particularly pleased about doing the next job for free, but [[Vip3r|Piper]] needed the emotional support, and any BIG immoral moves [[Cecelia Cross|Cecelia]] makes will be slightly further down the line. Hopefully she'll burn the freebie soon, and I have an opportunity to be more selective when those game-changing plays get made.

===[[Vip3r|Piper]]===
So, I feel like if there's anything I've learned over the past few days, it's that I'm ''completely fragging unhinged'' and there's probably something wrong with my brain--which, let's be honest here, really shouldn't be new information. I mean, how could I ''possibly'' be okay after all the drek I've gone through? I spend entire weeks on end feeling like a total outsider because I don't know how to talk to people and can't tell if I'm fitting in enough, and all I want is to get a hug from my mom and have her tell me that I'm doing fine and I'll be able to work it all out, except that I don't even know if my mom is really ''my mom'' anymore or if she's been kidnapped and replaced with a really convincing actor. Which, I know, makes me sound ''completely fragging unhinged.''

I don't want to play the whole "I'm poor tortured Piper who's had a terrible life, everyone should feel bad for me" card, especially because I feel like I already did it with Finn, but... seriously, can I just get a fucking ''break?''

...I should probably save all this for therapy.

On the upside, I think things with my other mom (y'know, from my blood family) are going better, and maybe the help I'm giving her will get her on her feet. And the talk with [[Absolute Zero|Phoenix]] went well. ''Really'' well. Kinda makes me think that maybe we've got a future ahead of us.

|OppositionCasualties2=None
|}}

==Summary==
The gang works for the Cutters for a bit and clears some lunatics from a bar.

==Background==
After [[Pump King Jack]] and his Starscreamers were cleared out of Sophocles, other gangs began bickering over the territory. Now, the [[Cutters]] want a piece of the action, too.

==The Meet==
Crimes shows up in a sleazy bar in Touristville. The runners have a brief chat with the bartender who seriously is not paid enough to give a rat's ass about what's happening. The runners like this a lot and are endeared to him. As for the meet itself, Crimes looks a little suspicious at the elves present but offers them the job anyway. The plan is to strike at a supply headquarters of Halloweeners in Sophocles. The runners will clean the place and let Cutters grab the supplies, that way Halloweeners in the region go down far easier to the Cutters' own forces.

Obviously, Voltage doesn't feel super comfortable with working for the Cutters as an Ancients member, but [[Levine Asdrubael Velen]] convinces her to do it to let the gangs tear each other apart. Ancients can come in later and swoop the place clean. As for the rest, it seems like a relatively easy job to do. Crimes mentions that apparently the Reality Hackers have been hired to help the Halloweeners as mercenaries, so they might have to look out a bit.

==The Plan==
The plan is to bash the door in and kill everyone. Okay, Zero will do some recon as a spooky projection but that's it. And truth be told, she finds there to be plenty of folks, including one with HMHVV! A carrier, not Infected, fortunately, but still.

==The Run==
The team turns up, gets a good sneak attack off and murders people left and right from the flamethrower sentry to regular grunts and the full-body replacement cybersamurai. Voltage and the cybersam engage in some cool as hell hand to hand fighting with talons and hand razors after two rockets from the latter fail to actually hurt that much. The grunts try throwing flashbangs, grenades and tear gas, but it only does so much before the favor is returned and they're ruined. From the back alley, however, charges forth a frothing mad murderman permanently berserk on K-10 who yells about skinning everyone alive. While he poses a serious threat to Arun with his shotgun, Cold Hands is there to cover them.

Zero sneaks in as a rat and spooks people with ice spikes, including some of the mages. By the time they get to Crazy Jane, the orchestrator of the supply depot, they find her unconscious, lower face covered in fine white powder. When they inspect the powder, they find that it's not novacoke. It's flour. The team bags Jane, checks the supply room and find a ritual in progress, then peace out as fast as possible.

==Aftermath==
Crimes gladly takes Jane as a live captive for interrogation and pays the team accordingly. Later on, Voltage gives information of the ritual to [[Babylon]] who feels uncomfortable about the idea of Halloweeners trying to do a Calling ritual to summon Pump King Jack again.

==Rewards==
* 10,000 Nuyen
* 7 Karma
* 20,000 Nuyen worth of Gear:
#PPSK-4 Collapsible Machine Pistol & addons for it
#Cyberlimb Enhancements & Modifications
#Halloweener Barbeque Lighter
#Drugs up to 18 Availability (with the exception of only one dose of K-10 allowed per runner)
*2 CDP
* -3 Halloweeners Reputation
* 1 Cutters Reputation

Note: 1.33x reward multiplier for extended game time.

==Player After Action Reports (AARs)==

===[[Cold Hands]]===
"After a number of cloak-and-dagger jobs, being involved in an open turf war was almost refreshing. I still do not know the nature of Asahiro's involvement in what seems to be a petty dispute between two Barrens gangs, but if there's anything I've learned about living in Seattle, it's that some uncomfortably important players seem to take a keen interest in the Sprawl."

"I try not to dwell on it; such things are well beyond my pay grade. Tonight, I was paid to side with the Cutters against the Halloweeners. I'm hardly a fan of either gang, but if I had to choose, I suppose I would choose the Cutters. Maniac pyros offer very little to redeem themselves."

"One mystery that still niggles me is how Crazy Jane went from a corp child with a silver spoon in her mouth to a raving druggie of a 'weener boss. Zero said something about a 'toxic' signature on her, but my magical knowledge is sorely lacking. That's one weakness I'll have to work on."

===[[Voltage]]===
Huh, so Ether actually trusts me enough to send me to do stuff on the sly. This whole 5-D chess kinda scheme she's got goin' here seems like it's a pretty big deal, and I sure as frag ain't gonna be the person who's gonna mess it up for her so I figured I should go in as discreet as possible--which, turns out, I actually ain't half bad at doing when I put my mind to it. I'm really excited to see how her plan develops, and eventually gettin' to lead the charge against the Cutters when we go to take their cleaned-up Sophocles for ourselves! Maybe I'll even get a promotion out of it.

For now, though, killing 'Weeners is pretty ghostdamned fun, and I'm really excited about the flamethrower I got out of the deal. Zero kicked ass and her astral recon was pretty clutch, and gettin' to meet Cold Hands was pretty awesome! I hope I get to see more of her in the future, she's a force to be reckoned with.

Babs seems pretty worried about that spirit thing they were tryin' to call, though. She told me a little about that pumpkin guy a while back and he seemed like a big problem; if he's still around, and they didn't actually kill him like she said they did, then that ''definitely'' ain't good. I'll do whatever I can to help her get to the bottom of all this, though.

=Character Information=

===Summary===
A technomancer and a technological prodigy from an early age, Vip3r has been at home in the Matrix since long before she emerged. She's a skilled hacker and street survivalist, and isn't bad at talking her way out of trouble either.

==Background==

Vip3r taught herself to hack for fun and survival as a juvenile delinquent on the streets of the Redmond Barrens. She was adopted as a teenager by Ken and Laura Tanaka, a pair of middle-class MCT citizens who put her through high school, where she proved to be such a skilled learner that she was handed a corporate scholarship that would ''almost'' cover a college education and give her a direct pipeline to a stable career. In a desperate attempt to cover the rest, Vip3r took a shadowrun that ended in disaster, earning her eight years in Shadow Lake Correctional Facility at the age of seventeen. Four years in, she was offered a deal that would shave two years off of her sentence. It was framed as a work opportunity, but instead, it made her a lab rat in an intense and dubiously-ethical technomancer research operation by MCT.

MCT turns Vip3r loose two years later after the Tanakas signed over their freedom on her behalf, putting her back on the street with no family, no contacts, and not-insignificant neurological damage that rendered her unable to hold a regular job or schedule.

With a criminal SIN and nowhere else to turn for income, she began taking small-time hacking jobs again. As she did, people began to notice her skill, and Vip3r eventually attracted the attention of the Eighty-Eights Triad. They offered to burn her criminal SIN and set her up with a fake if she agreed to work for them in exchange, and in no position to refuse, Vip3r accepted.

==Goals==
* Extract her father, Ken Tanaka, from his lifelong contract with MCT.
* Establish a network with other technomancers, and determine how to use her ability and position to make the world a better place for others like her.

==Narrative Significant Qualities==

===Positive===

*'''Social Infiltrator:''' (Alibi + First Impression + Honest Face)
Having had to adapt to many different living situations over the course of her life has taught Vip3r how to look like she belongs almost anywhere.
*'''Paragon (01):''' At [[Betz]]'s suggestion, Vip3r has sought communion with 01 out of a desire for a deeper understanding of the Resonance and a meaningful connection to other technomancers.
*'''Resonant Stream: Sourceror:''' Having always been heavily reliant on her own ability, Vip3r has chosen to focus on her own skill with complex forms rather than depending on the use of sprites.
*'''School of Hard Knocks:''' Vip3r spent most of her childhood learning to survive on the streets of the Redmond Barrens. Navigating urban life is in her nature.
*'''Sensei:''' [[Betz]] has become a mentor and a source of support for Vip3r. She works with her to help hone her Cracking skills, and to teach her more about what it means to be emerged.

===Negative===
* '''Drug-Dependent:''' (Wired User + Mild Addictions to Psyche & Novacoke)
Using performance-enhancing drugs a little ''too'' frequently has made Vip3r reliant on them.
*'''Snake Queen of the Resonance:''' (Distinctive Style + Unique Avatar)
''Vip3r'' is more than just a name; it's an ''identity.'' Snake tattoos, snakebite piercings, fangs and a split tongue, and a custom-crafted anthropomorphic snake Matrix persona make that identity ''unmistakable.''
*'''Driven:''' When they found out about her captivity in a Mitsuhama black site, Vip3r's adoptive parents gave up their freedom to trade it for hers. She is determined to repay their favor. So far, she's managed to extract her mother, but getting her father out of his contract and on-site employee housing in a newly-constructed Zero Zone she's discovered in Auburn is going to prove far more difficult.

===Organizations===

* '''[[Eighty-Eights Triad]]:''' Despite turning down official membership in the Triad, Vip3r will not work against the Eighty-Eights as a result of the assistance they offered her when she was in need.
* +10 '''[[Mothers of Metahumans]]''' rep and +10 '''[[Skraacha]]''' rep for breaking [[Kenneth "Flamesaw" Murphy]] out of prison.
* -70 Tamanous rep, +10 Black Lodge rep, and +5 Starscreamers rep for destroying Tamanous's largest organ farm in Seattle.
* +13 Cross Applied Technologies rep, -5 Federated Boeing rep for working for Cecelia Cross and burning Brodie J's house down.
* -40 [[Mitsuhama Computer Technologies]] rep for killing four Petrovski Security personnel and kidnapping one of their HR executives
* +2 [[Saeder-Krupp]] rep for assisting [[Cricket]]'s foundation dive in [[Full Fathom Five]]


===Allies===
* '''[[Absolute Zero]]:''' Vip3r's girlfriend, whom she met while living in San Francisco and who followed her back to Seattle a few months later.
* '''[[Black Samurai]]:''' Vip3r's cousin, whom she only met recently as a result of having been cut off from her blood family for years.
* '''[[Harebuck]]:''' Vip3r's best friend and roommate, who introduced her to the Haven.
* '''[[Shine]] & [[Zenith]]:''' Fellow runners who know Vip3r's history and secrets. She considers them a part of her chosen family, along with the above.

* '''[[Kakei Steve|Steven Shimada]]:''' Despite initial [[Family, Duty, Honor|hostility]] and [[Cultivation Crisis|suspicion]] that led to Vip3r [[A Nest of Vipers|resolving to kill him]], Steve extended an olive branch in [[Let Snygones be Snygones]]. She took advantage of the opportunity to make him an ally--mostly because his knowledge of her life before shadowrunning and her involvement with with Laura Tanaka's extraction from MCT would make him a ''terrible'' enemy.

===Enemies===

* '''[[Mitsuhama Computer Technologies]]:''' You read the above information, right? Vip3r has plenty of reason to hate and fear MCT, and is bent on revenge after a year spent avoiding them at all costs.

==Symbols and Signatures==
As her name would suggest, Vip3r is committed to a snake motif and specifically incorporates African bush vipers into her design. There's no particular symbolism to them; Vip3r just thinks they look cool. Multiple snake tattoos are visible on her forearms and neck, her Matrix persona is an anthropomorphic snake, and her marks look like snakebites.

Standing at 5'7" (170cm), Vip3r is a Japanese elf woman with a short undercut, snakebite piercings, and visible snake tattoos (which, specifically, are African bush vipers) on her forearms and neck.
===Clothing===
Vip3r dresses for utility and comfort, typically in a street-punk style, favoring blacks and greys with accents in purples or teals. She frequently does her shadowrunning in an armored synthleather jacket, grey with a high collar and plenty of pockets on the inside and out. For jobs with higher-end clients, she has an Executive Suite suit in dark grey, accented in light blue.
===Matrix Persona===
She switches between two Matrix personas, depending on what image she wants to convey. The first, and more "professional" of the two, is a stylized version of her actual appearance, standing slightly taller than her natural height and wearing a long snakeskin coat. The other, which she prefers and which sees more frequent use, is an anthropomorphic snake modelled after an African bush viper, with iridescent dark-purple scales.

=Character Information=

===Summary===
A technomancer and a technological prodigy from an early age, Vip3r has been at home in the Matrix since long before she emerged. She's a skilled hacker and street survivalist, and isn't bad at talking her way out of trouble either.

==Background==

Vip3r taught herself to hack for fun and survival as a juvenile delinquent on the streets of the Redmond Barrens. She was adopted as a teenager by Ken and Laura Tanaka, a pair of middle-class MCT citizens who put her through high school, where she proved to be such a skilled learner that she was handed a corporate scholarship that would ''almost'' cover a college education and give her a direct pipeline to a stable career. In a desperate attempt to cover the rest, Vip3r took a shadowrun that ended in disaster, earning her eight years in Shadow Lake Correctional Facility at the age of seventeen. Four years in, she was offered a deal that would shave two years off of her sentence. It was framed as a work opportunity, but instead, it made her a lab rat in an intense and dubiously-ethical technomancer research operation by MCT.

MCT turns Vip3r loose two years later after the Tanakas signed over their freedom on her behalf, putting her back on the street with no family, no contacts, and not-insignificant neurological damage that rendered her unable to hold a regular job or schedule.

With a criminal SIN and nowhere else to turn for income, she began taking small-time hacking jobs again. As she did, people began to notice her skill, and Vip3r eventually attracted the attention of the Eighty-Eights Triad. They offered to burn her criminal SIN and set her up with a fake if she agreed to work for them in exchange, and in no position to refuse, Vip3r accepted.

==Goals==
* Extract her father, Ken Tanaka, from his lifelong contract with MCT.
* Establish a network with other technomancers, and determine how to use her ability and position to make the world a better place for others like her.

==Narrative Significant Qualities==

===Positive===

*'''Social Infiltrator:''' (Alibi + First Impression + Honest Face)
Having had to adapt to many different living situations over the course of her life has taught Vip3r how to look like she belongs almost anywhere.
*'''Paragon (01):''' At [[Betz]]'s suggestion, Vip3r has sought communion with 01 out of a desire for a deeper understanding of the Resonance and a meaningful connection to other technomancers.
*'''Resonant Stream: Sourceror:''' Having always been heavily reliant on her own ability, Vip3r has chosen to focus on her own skill with complex forms rather than depending on the use of sprites.
*'''School of Hard Knocks:''' Vip3r spent most of her childhood learning to survive on the streets of the Redmond Barrens. Navigating urban life is in her nature.
*'''Sensei:''' [[Betz]] has become a mentor and a source of support for Vip3r. She works with her to help hone her Cracking skills, and to teach her more about what it means to be emerged.

===Negative===
* '''Drug-Dependent:''' (Wired User + Mild Addictions to Psyche & Novacoke)
Using performance-enhancing drugs a little ''too'' frequently has made Vip3r reliant on them.
*'''Snake Queen of the Resonance:''' (Distinctive Style + Unique Avatar)
''Vip3r'' is more than just a name; it's an ''identity.'' Snake tattoos, snakebite piercings, fangs and a split tongue, and a custom-crafted anthropomorphic snake Matrix persona make that identity ''unmistakable.''
*'''Driven:''' When they found out about her captivity in a Mitsuhama black site, Vip3r's adoptive parents gave up their freedom to trade it for hers. She is determined to repay their favor. So far, she's managed to extract her mother, but getting her father out of his contract and on-site employee housing in a newly-constructed Zero Zone she's discovered in Auburn is going to prove far more difficult.

==Symbols and Signatures==
As her name would suggest, Vip3r is committed to a snake motif and specifically incorporates African bush vipers into her design. There's no particular symbolism to them; Vip3r just thinks they look cool. Multiple snake tattoos are visible on her forearms and neck, her Matrix persona is an anthropomorphic snake, and her marks look like snakebites.

* '''Alison Chiba:''' R6 Saeder-Krupp fake SIN. Cyberdeck license, Driver's license, Matrix Security license.

==Appearance==
Standing at 5'7" (170cm), Vip3r is a Japanese elf woman with a short undercut, snakebite piercings, and visible snake tattoos (which, specifically, are African bush vipers) on her forearms and neck.
===Clothing===
Vip3r dresses for utility and comfort, typically in a street-punk style, favoring blacks and greys with accents in purples or teals. She frequently does her shadowrunning in an armored synthleather jacket, grey with a high collar and plenty of pockets on the inside and out. For jobs with higher-end clients, she has an Executive Suite suit in dark grey, accented in light blue.
===Matrix Persona===
She switches between two Matrix personas, depending on what image she wants to convey. The first, and more "professional" of the two, is a stylized version of her actual appearance, standing slightly taller than her natural height and wearing a long snakeskin coat. The other, which she prefers and which sees more frequent use, is an anthropomorphic snake modelled after an African bush viper, with iridescent dark-purple scales.

==Overview==
Ashe Vanderline is a longtime Ancients lieutenant who runs one of the gang's many smuggling operations out of the Redmond Barrens. A dark skinned elf with greying hair and a fondness for paisley shirts, she's never seen without a lit cigarette between her lips. Her age hasn't tampered her ambition, but although her eye is on bigger things than some small time drug routes her two missing ears serve as a reminder to play it careful. She's been patient, consolidating her power behind the scenes for when she finally makes her move. All she needs now is an opportunity.

===Note for the GM===
*Ashe is, for gameplay purposes, a mundane face. She throws 12 dice for social things with a +2 from tailored pheremones and a +2 from clothes in person. She throws 11 dice for judge intentions and composure. If she's doing important negotiations or trying to con people, she will take novacoke for an extra +2 to everything.
*Ashe is savvy and professional; her time is valuable and she has little patience for small talk. If she doesn't see a profit in an interaction she will lose interest very quickly.
*Ashe is a gangster, and not too squeamish about using violence to get what she wants. She has a crew of well armed Ancients at her command for if anyone really pisses her off.

==Aspects Description==

{{AspectTable|



{{NegativeAspect|
|Aspect=Girl's Gotta Eat

=Character Information=

===Summary===
A technomancer and a technological prodigy from an early age, Vip3r has been at home in the Matrix since long before she emerged. She's a skilled hacker and street survivalist, and isn't bad at talking her way out of trouble either.

==Background==

Vip3r taught herself to hack for fun and survival as a juvenile delinquent on the streets of the Redmond Barrens. She was adopted as a teenager by Ken and Laura Tanaka, a pair of middle-class MCT citizens who put her through high school, where she proved to be such a skilled learner that she was handed a corporate scholarship that would ''almost'' cover a college education and give her a direct pipeline to a stable career. In a desperate attempt to cover the rest, Vip3r took a shadowrun that ended in disaster, earning her eight years in Shadow Lake Correctional Facility at the age of seventeen. Four years in, she was offered a deal that would shave two years off of her sentence. It was framed as a work opportunity, but instead, it made her a lab rat in an intense and dubiously-ethical technomancer research operation by MCT.

MCT turns Vip3r loose two years later after the Tanakas signed over their freedom on her behalf, putting her back on the street with no family, no contacts, and not-insignificant neurological damage that rendered her unable to hold a regular job or schedule.

With a criminal SIN and nowhere else to turn for income, she began taking small-time hacking jobs again. As she did, people began to notice her skill, and Vip3r eventually attracted the attention of the Eighty-Eights Triad. They offered to burn her criminal SIN and set her up with a fake if she agreed to work for them in exchange, and in no position to refuse, Vip3r accepted.

==Goals==
* Extract her father, Ken Tanaka, from his lifelong contract with MCT.
* Establish a network with other technomancers, and determine how to use her ability and position to make the world a better place for others like her.

==Narrative Significant Qualities==

===Positive===

*'''Social Infiltrator:''' (Alibi + First Impression + Honest Face)
Having had to adapt to many different living situations over the course of her life has taught Vip3r how to look like she belongs almost anywhere.
*'''Paragon (01):''' At [[Betz]]'s suggestion, Vip3r has sought communion with 01 out of a desire for a deeper understanding of the Resonance and a meaningful connection to other technomancers.
*'''Resonant Stream: Sourceror:''' Having always been heavily reliant on her own ability, Vip3r has chosen to focus on her own skill with complex forms rather than depending on the use of sprites.
*'''School of Hard Knocks:''' Vip3r spent most of her childhood learning to survive on the streets of the Redmond Barrens. Navigating urban life is in her nature.
*'''Sensei:''' [[Betz]] has become a mentor and a source of support for Vip3r. She works with her to help hone her Cracking skills, and to teach her more about what it means to be emerged.

===Negative===
* '''Drug-Dependent:''' (Wired User + Mild Addictions to Psyche & Novacoke)
Using performance-enhancing drugs a little ''too'' frequently has made Vip3r reliant on them.
*'''Snake Queen of the Resonance:''' (Distinctive Style + Unique Avatar)
''Vip3r'' is more than just a name; it's an ''identity.'' Snake tattoos, snakebite piercings, fangs and a split tongue, and a custom-crafted anthropomorphic snake Matrix persona make that identity ''unmistakable.''
*'''Driven:''' When they found out about her captivity in a Mitsuhama black site, Vip3r's adoptive parents gave up their freedom to trade it for hers. She is determined to repay their favor. So far, she's managed to extract her mother, but getting her father out of his contract and on-site employee housing in a newly-constructed Zero Zone she's discovered in Auburn is going to prove far more difficult.

===Organizations===

*'''[[Eighty-Eights Triad]]:''' Despite turning down official membership in the Triad, Vip3r will not work against the Eighty-Eights as a result of the assistance they offered her when she was in need.
* +10 '''[[Mothers of Metahumans]]''' rep and +10 '''[[Skraacha]]''' rep for breaking [[Kenneth "Flamesaw" Murphy]] out of prison.
* -70 Tamanous rep, +10 Black Lodge rep, and +5 Starscreamers rep for destroying Tamanous's largest organ farm in Seattle.
* +13 Cross Applied Technologies rep, -5 Federated Boeing rep for working for Cecelia Cross and burning Brodie J's house down.
* -40 [[Mitsuhama Computer Technologies]] rep for killing four Petrovski Security personnel and kidnapping one of their HR executives


===Allies===
* '''[[Absolute Zero]]:''' Vip3r's girlfriend, whom she met while living in San Francisco and who followed her back to Seattle a few months later.
* '''[[Black Samurai]]:''' Vip3r's cousin, whom she only met recently as a result of having been cut off from her blood family for years.
* '''[[Harebuck]]:''' Vip3r's best friend and roommate, who introduced her to the Haven.
* '''[[Shine]] & [[Zenith]]:''' Fellow runners who know Vip3r's history and secrets. She considers them a part of her chosen family, along with the above.

* * '''[[Kakei Steve|Steven Shimada]]:''' Despite initial [[Family, Duty, Honor|hostility]] and [[Cultivation Crisis|suspicion]] that led to Vip3r [[A Nest of Vipers|resolving to kill him]], Steve extended an olive branch in [[Let Snygones be Snygones]]. She took advantage of the opportunity to make him an ally--mostly because his knowledge of her life before shadowrunning and her involvement with with Laura Tanaka's extraction from MCT would make him a ''terrible'' enemy.

===Enemies===

* '''[[Mitsuhama Computer Technologies]]:''' You read the above information, right? Vip3r has plenty of reason to hate and fear MCT, and is bent on revenge after a year spent avoiding them at all costs.

* '''[[Trevor Avila]]:''' In [[Scab Work]], Trevor hired Vip3r and [[Babylon]] to do some of Tamanous's dirty work after they [[Aching & Festering|destroyed a profitable organ farm]]. He taunted them with the possibility of having their Kill On Sight status cleared with the syndicate, but given that he hired other people whom he holds grudges against, Vip3r was convinced that was never ''really'' an option. They deliberately botched the job, and, terrified at the possibility of Trevor ''literally'' ruining her life with ease, Vip3r knows the only way to fix the situation is to have him killed.

* '''Unnamed Renraku Spider:''' In [[A Steller Discovery]], Vip3r engaged in a heated Matrix battle with a Renraku decker with a cyber-ninja persona who was part of a team sent to retrieve a chunk of Halley's comet. She dodged a series of link-lock-biofeedback-dataspikes and insulted him by forcing him to jack out. He's, uh, ''not happy'' about that encounter, and if Vip3r runs against him again, he'll probably be less than thrilled to see her massive iridescent snersona (snake persona) on the Matrix.

===Organizations===

*'''[[Eighty-Eights Triad]]:''' Despite turning down official membership in the Triad, Vip3r will not work against the Eighty-Eights as a result of the assistance they offered her when she was in need.
* +10 '''[[Mothers of Metahumans]]''' rep and +10 '''[[Skraacha]]''' rep for breaking [[Kenneth "Flamesaw" Murphy]] out of prison.
* -70 Tamanous rep, +10 Black Lodge rep, and +5 Starscreamers rep for destroying Tamanous's largest organ farm in Seattle.
* +13 Cross Applied Technologies rep, -5 Federated Boeing rep for working for Cecelia Cross and burning Brodie J's house down.
* -40 [[Mitsuhama Computer Technologies]] rep for killing four Petrovski Security personnel and kidnapping one of their HR executives


===Allies===
* [[Harebuck]] & [[Absolute Zero]]: Vip3r's best friends and roommates. Harebuck introduced her to the Haven, and she met Zero while living in San Francisco.
* [[Black Samurai]]: Vip3r's cousin, whom she only met recently as a result of having been cut off from her blood family.
* [[Shine]] & [[Zenith]]: Fellow runners who know Vip3r's history and secrets. She considers them a part of her chosen family, along with the above.

===Enemies===

* '''[[Mitsuhama Computer Technologies]]:''' You read the above information, right? Vip3r has plenty of reason to hate and fear MCT, and is bent on revenge after a year spent avoiding them at all costs.

* '''[[Kakei Steve|Steven Shimada]]:''' In [[Family, Duty, Honor]], Vip3r received a call from Steve in which he addressed her by her birth name and revealed personal information about her family that even she wasn't aware of. She independently discovered his ties to MCT, and [[Shine]] convinced her to have him killed. Then, in [[Cultivation Crisis]], she learned that he signed off on the contract that put the Tanakas under lifelong MCT control, and ''also'' withheld a letter from her mother that would've shown her that she hadn't been abandoned during her time in lockup. She was determined to have him killed and even [[A Nest of Vipers|made plans to do so]], but abandoned her plans when she realized he had no clear intent to turn her in to MCT and had been delaying the Tanakas' transfer to a newly-constructed Zero Zone. She still hates and distrusts him, however, and is unlikely to trust anyone who associates with him.

* '''Unnamed Renraku Spider:''' In [[A Steller Discovery]], Vip3r engaged in a heated Matrix battle with a Renraku decker with a cyber-ninja persona who was part of a team sent to retrieve a chunk of Halley's comet. She dodged a series of link-lock-biofeedback-dataspikes and insulted him by forcing him to jack out. He's, uh, ''not happy'' about that encounter, and if Vip3r runs against him again, he'll probably be less than thrilled to see her massive iridescent snersona (snake persona) on the Matrix.

=In Character Information=

==Symbols and Signatures==
As her name would suggest, Vip3r is committed to a snake motif and specifically incorporates African bush vipers into her design. There's no particular symbolism to them; Vip3r just thinks they look cool. Multiple snake tattoos are visible on her forearms and neck, her Matrix persona is an anthropomorphic snake, and her marks look like snakebites.

===Clothing===
Vip3r dresses for utility and comfort, typically in a street-punk style, favoring blacks and greys with accents in purples or teals.

For jobs with higher-end clients, she has an Executive Suite suit in dark grey, accented in light blue.
===Matrix Persona===
She switches between two Matrix personas, depending on what image she wants to convey. The first, and more "professional" of the two, is a stylized version of her actual appearance, standing slightly taller than her natural height and wearing a long snakeskin coat. The other, which she prefers and which sees more frequent use, is an anthropomorphic snake modelled after an African bush viper, with iridescent dark-purple scales.

=Character Information=

===Summary===
A technomancer and a technological prodigy from an early age, Vip3r has been at home in the Matrix since long before she emerged. She's a skilled hacker and street survivalist, and isn't bad at talking her way out of trouble either.

==Background==

Vip3r taught herself to hack for fun and survival as a juvenile delinquent on the streets of the Redmond Barrens. She was adopted as a teenager by Ken and Laura Tanaka, a pair of middle-class MCT citizens who put her through high school, where she proved to be such a skilled learner that she was handed a corporate scholarship that would ''almost'' cover a college education and give her a direct pipeline to a stable career. In a desperate attempt to cover the rest, Vip3r took a shadowrun that ended in disaster, earning her eight years in Shadow Lake Correctional Facility at the age of seventeen. Four years in, she was offered a deal that would shave two years off of her sentence. It was framed as a work opportunity, but instead, it made her a lab rat in an intense and dubiously-ethical technomancer research operation by MCT.

MCT turns Vip3r loose two years later after the Tanakas signed over their freedom on her behalf, putting her back on the street with no family, no contacts, and not-insignificant neurological damage that rendered her unable to hold a regular job or schedule.

With a criminal SIN and nowhere else to turn for income, she began taking small-time hacking jobs again. As she did, people began to notice her skill, and Vip3r eventually attracted the attention of the Eighty-Eights Triad. They offered to burn her criminal SIN and set her up with a fake if she agreed to work for them in exchange, and in no position to refuse, Vip3r accepted.

==Goals==
* Extract her father, Ken Tanaka, from his lifelong contract with MCT.
* Establish a network with other technomancers, and determine how to use her ability and position to make the world a better place for others like her.

==Narrative Significant Qualities==

===Positive===

*'''Social Infiltrator:''' (Alibi + First Impression + Honest Face)
Having had to adapt to many different living situations over the course of her life has taught Vip3r how to look like she belongs almost anywhere.
*'''Paragon (01):''' At [[Betz]]'s suggestion, Vip3r has sought communion with 01 out of a desire for a deeper understanding of the Resonance and a meaningful connection to other technomancers.
*'''Resonant Stream: Sourceror:''' Having always been heavily reliant on her own ability, Vip3r has chosen to focus on her own skill with complex forms rather than depending on the use of sprites.
*'''School of Hard Knocks:''' Vip3r spent most of her childhood learning to survive on the streets of the Redmond Barrens. Navigating urban life is in her nature.
*'''Sensei:''' [[Betz]] has become a mentor and a source of support for Vip3r. She works with her to help hone her Cracking skills, and to teach her more about what it means to be emerged.

===Negative===
* '''Drug-Dependent:''' (Wired User + Mild Addictions to Psyche & Novacoke)
Using performance-enhancing drugs a little ''too'' frequently has made Vip3r reliant on them.
*'''Snake Queen of the Resonance:''' (Distinctive Style + Unique Avatar)
''Vip3r'' is more than just a name; it's an ''identity.'' Snake tattoos, snakebite piercings, fangs and a split tongue, and a custom-crafted anthropomorphic snake Matrix persona make that identity ''unmistakable.''
*'''Driven:''' When they found out about her captivity in a Mitsuhama black site, Vip3r's adoptive parents gave up their freedom to trade it for hers. She is determined to repay their favor. So far, she's managed to extract her mother, but getting her father out of his contract and on-site employee housing in a newly-constructed Zero Zone she's discovered in Auburn is going to prove far more difficult.

She was determined to have him killed and even [[A Nest of Vipers|made plans to do so]], but abandoned her plans when she realized he had no clear intent to turn her in to MCT and had been delaying the Tanakas' transfer to a newly-constructed Zero Zone. She still hates and distrusts him, however, and is unlikely to trust anyone who associates with him.

* '''Unnamed Renraku Spider:''' In [[A Steller Discovery]], Vip3r engaged in a heated Matrix battle with a Renraku decker with a cyber-ninja persona who was part of a team sent to retrieve a chunk of Halley's comet. She dodged a series of link-lock-biofeedback-dataspikes and insulted him by forcing him to jack out. He's, uh, ''not happy'' about that encounter, and if Vip3r runs against him again, he'll probably be less than thrilled to see her massive iridescent snersona (snake persona) on the Matrix.

==Symbols and Signatures==
As her name would suggest, Vip3r is committed to a snake motif and specifically incorporates African bush vipers into her design. There's no particular symbolism to them; Vip3r just thinks they look cool. Multiple snake tattoos are visible on her forearms and neck, her Matrix persona is an anthropomorphic snake, and her marks look like snakebites.

==Appearance==
Standing at 5'7" (170cm), Vip3r is a Japanese elf woman with a short undercut, snakebite piercings, and visible snake tattoos (which, specifically, are African bush vipers) on her forearms and neck.
===Clothing===
Vip3r dresses for utility and comfort, typically in a street-punk style, favoring blacks and greys with accents in purples or teals. She frequently does her shadowrunning in an armored synthleather jacket, grey with a high collar and plenty of pockets on the inside and out. For jobs with higher-end clients, she has an Executive Suite suit in dark grey, accented in light blue.
===Matrix Persona===
She switches between two Matrix personas, depending on what image she wants to convey. The first, and more "professional" of the two, is a stylized version of her actual appearance, standing slightly taller than her natural height and wearing a long snakeskin coat. The other, which she prefers and which sees more frequent use, is an anthropomorphic snake modelled after an African bush viper, with iridescent dark-purple scales.

=Character Information=

===Summary===
A technomancer and a technological prodigy from an early age, Vip3r has been at home in the Matrix since long before she emerged. She's a skilled hacker and street survivalist, and isn't bad at talking her way out of trouble either.

==Background==

Vip3r taught herself to hack for fun and survival as a juvenile delinquent on the streets of the Redmond Barrens. She was adopted as a teenager by Ken and Laura Tanaka, a pair of middle-class MCT citizens who put her through high school, where she proved to be such a skilled learner that she was handed a corporate scholarship that would ''almost'' cover a college education and give her a direct pipeline to a stable career. In a desperate attempt to cover the rest, Vip3r took a shadowrun that ended in disaster, earning her eight years in Shadow Lake Correctional Facility at the age of seventeen. Four years in, she was offered a deal that would shave two years off of her sentence. It was framed as a work opportunity, but instead, it made her a lab rat in an intense and dubiously-ethical technomancer research operation by MCT.

MCT turns Vip3r loose two years later after the Tanakas signed over their freedom on her behalf, putting her back on the street with no family, no contacts, and not-insignificant neurological damage that rendered her unable to hold a regular job or schedule.

With a criminal SIN and nowhere else to turn for income, she began taking small-time hacking jobs again. As she did, people began to notice her skill, and Vip3r eventually attracted the attention of the Eighty-Eights Triad. They offered to burn her criminal SIN and set her up with a fake if she agreed to work for them in exchange, and in no position to refuse, Vip3r accepted.

==Goals==
* Extract her father, Ken Tanaka, from his lifelong contract with MCT.
* Establish a network with other technomancers, and determine how to use her ability and position to make the world a better place for others like her.

==Narrative Significant Qualities==

===Positive===

*'''Social Infiltrator:''' (Alibi + First Impression + Honest Face)
Having had to adapt to many different living situations over the course of her life has taught Vip3r how to look like she belongs almost anywhere.
*'''Paragon (01):''' At [[Betz]]'s suggestion, Vip3r has sought communion with 01 out of a desire for a deeper understanding of the Resonance and a meaningful connection to other technomancers.
*'''Resonant Stream: Sourceror:''' Having always been heavily reliant on her own ability, Vip3r has chosen to focus on her own skill with complex forms rather than depending on the use of sprites.
*'''School of Hard Knocks:''' Vip3r spent most of her childhood learning to survive on the streets of the Redmond Barrens. Navigating urban life is in her nature.
*'''Sensei:''' [[Betz]] has become a mentor and a source of support for Vip3r. She works with her to help hone her Cracking skills, and to teach her more about what it means to be emerged.

===Negative===
* '''Drug-Dependent:''' (Wired User + Mild Addictions to Psyche & Novacoke)
Using performance-enhancing drugs a little ''too'' frequently has made Vip3r reliant on them.
*'''Snake Queen of the Resonance:''' (Distinctive Style + Unique Avatar)
''Vip3r'' is more than just a name; it's an ''identity.'' Snake tattoos, snakebite piercings, fangs and a split tongue, and a custom-crafted anthropomorphic snake Matrix persona make that identity ''unmistakable.''
*'''Driven:''' When they found out about her captivity in a Mitsuhama black site, Vip3r's adoptive parents gave up their freedom to trade it for hers. She is determined to repay their favor. So far, she's managed to extract her mother, but getting her father out of his contract and on-site employee housing in a newly-constructed Zero Zone she's discovered in Auburn is going to prove far more difficult.

=Character Information=

===Summary===
A technomancer and a technological prodigy from an early age, Vip3r has been at home in the Matrix since long before she emerged. She's a skilled hacker and street survivalist, and isn't bad at talking her way out of trouble either.

==Background==

Vip3r taught herself to hack for fun and survival as a juvenile delinquent on the streets of the Redmond Barrens. She was adopted as a teenager by Ken and Laura Tanaka, a pair of middle-class MCT citizens who put her through high school, where she proved to be such a skilled learner that she was handed a corporate scholarship that would ''almost'' cover a college education and give her a direct pipeline to a stable career. In a desperate attempt to cover the rest, Vip3r took a shadowrun that ended in disaster, earning her eight years in Shadow Lake Correctional Facility at the age of seventeen. Four years in, she was offered a deal that would shave two years off of her sentence. It was framed as a work opportunity, but instead, it made her a lab rat in an intense and dubiously-ethical technomancer research operation by MCT.

MCT turns Vip3r loose two years later after the Tanakas signed over their freedom on her behalf, putting her back on the street with no family, no contacts, and not-insignificant neurological damage that rendered her unable to hold a regular job or schedule.

With a criminal SIN and nowhere else to turn for income, she began taking small-time hacking jobs again. As she did, people began to notice her skill, and Vip3r eventually attracted the attention of the Eighty-Eights Triad. They offered to burn her criminal SIN and set her up with a fake if she agreed to work for them in exchange, and in no position to refuse, Vip3r accepted.

==Goals==
* Extract her father, Ken Tanaka, from his lifelong contract with MCT.
* Establish a network with other technomancers, and determine how to use her ability and position to make the world a better place for others like her.

==Narrative Significant Qualities==

===Positive===

*'''Social Infiltrator:''' (Alibi + First Impression + Honest Face)
Having had to adapt to many different living situations over the course of her life has taught Vip3r how to look like she belongs almost anywhere.
*'''Paragon (01):''' At [[Betz]]'s suggestion, Vip3r has sought communion with 01 out of a desire for a deeper understanding of the Resonance and a meaningful connection to other technomancers.
*'''Resonant Stream: Sourceror:''' Having always been heavily reliant on her own ability, Vip3r has chosen to focus on her own skill with complex forms rather than depending on the use of sprites.
*'''School of Hard Knocks:''' Vip3r spent most of her childhood learning to survive on the streets of the Redmond Barrens. Navigating urban life is in her nature.
*'''Sensei:''' [[Betz]] has become a mentor and a source of support for Vip3r. She works with her to help hone her Cracking skills, and to teach her more about what it means to be emerged.

===Negative===
* '''Drug-Dependent:''' (Wired User + Mild Addictions to Psyche & Novacoke)
Using performance-enhancing drugs a little ''too'' frequently has made Vip3r reliant on them.
*'''Snake Queen of the Resonance:''' (Distinctive Style + Unique Avatar)
''Vip3r'' is more than just a name; it's an ''identity.'' Snake tattoos, snakebite piercings, fangs and a split tongue, and a custom-crafted anthropomorphic snake Matrix persona make that identity ''unmistakable.''
*'''Driven:''' When they found out about her captivity in a Mitsuhama black site, Vip3r's adoptive parents gave up their freedom to trade it for hers. She is determined to repay their favor. So far, she's managed to extract her mother, but getting her father out of his contract and on-site employee housing in a newly-constructed Zero Zone she's discovered in Auburn is going to prove far more difficult.

===Organizations===

*'''[[Eighty-Eights Triad]]:''' Despite turning down official membership in the Triad, Vip3r will not work against the Eighty-Eights as a result of the assistance they offered her when she was in need.
* +10 '''[[Mothers of Metahumans]]''' rep and +10 '''[[Skraacha]]''' rep for breaking [[Kenneth "Flamesaw" Murphy]] out of prison.
* -70 Tamanous rep, +10 Black Lodge rep, and +5 Starscreamers rep for destroying Tamanous's largest organ farm in Seattle.
* +13 Cross Applied Technologies rep, -5 Federated Boeing rep for working for Cecelia Cross and burning Brodie J's house down.
* -40 [[Mitsuhama Computer Technologies]] rep for killing four Petrovski Security personnel and kidnapping one of their HR executives


===Allies===
* [[Harebuck]] & [[Absolute Zero]]: Vip3r's best friends and roommates. Harebuck introduced her to the Haven, and she met Zero while living in San Francisco.
* [[Black Samurai]]: Vip3r's cousin, whom she only met recently as a result of having been cut off from her blood family.
* [[Shine]] & [[Zenith]]: Fellow runners who know Vip3r's history and secrets. She considers them a part of her chosen family, along with the above.

===Enemies===

* '''[[Mitsuhama Computer Technologies]]:''' You read the above information, right? Vip3r has plenty of reason to hate and fear MCT, and is bent on revenge after a year spent avoiding them at all costs.

* '''[[Kakei Steve|Steven Shimada]]:''' In [[Family, Duty, Honor]], Vip3r received a call from Steve in which he addressed her by her birth name and revealed personal information about her family that even she wasn't aware of. She independently discovered his ties to MCT, and [[Shine]] convinced her to have him killed. Then, in [[Cultivation Crisis]], she learned that he signed off on the contract that put the Tanakas under lifelong MCT control, and ''also'' withheld a letter from her mother that would've shown her that she hadn't been abandoned during her time in lockup. She was determined to have him killed and even [[A Nest of Vipers|made plans to do so]], but abandoned her plans when she realized he had no clear intent to turn her in to MCT and had been delaying the Tanakas' transfer to a newly-constructed Zero Zone. She still hates and distrusts him, however, and is unlikely to trust anyone who associates with him.

* '''Unnamed Renraku Spider:''' In [[A Steller Discovery]], Vip3r engaged in a heated Matrix battle with a Renraku decker with a cyber-ninja persona who was part of a team sent to retrieve a chunk of Halley's comet. She dodged a series of link-lock-biofeedback-dataspikes and insulted him by forcing him to jack out. He's, uh, ''not happy'' about that encounter, and if Vip3r runs against him again, he'll probably be less than thrilled to see her massive iridescent snersona (snake persona) on the Matrix.

=In Character Information=

==Symbols and Signatures==
As her name would suggest, Vip3r is committed to a snake motif and specifically incorporates African bush vipers into her design. There's no particular symbolism to them; Vip3r just thinks they look cool. Multiple snake tattoos are visible on her forearms and neck, her Matrix persona is an anthropomorphic snake, and her marks look like snakebites.

=Character Information=

===Summary===
A chromed-up murder machine of an elf, Voltage is a skilled marksman and a powerhouse fighter. She's great at busting heads and ripping guts for the Ancients, but not so great at, uh... anything that requires her to use her brain for more than about two seconds.

===Goals===
* Make a name for herself with the Ancients
* Upgrade her bike
* Upgrade her 'ware!

==Background==
Voltage has been running with the Ancients since she was big enough to sit on a bike, and she's always been desperate to impress her superiors and gain a solid reputation with them. As planning has never been her strong suit, she decided to follow an impulse and try to accomplish that by setting fire to a prominent pro-human politician's beachfront vacation home. Though no one was in it at the time, it made national news in the CAS as a terrorist attack, and the second it was published, Voltage ''immediately'' began crowing about it to her squad leader. Knowing that her impulsive braggart of a charge was ''bound'' to get her dumb ass dragged off to prison ''probably forever,'' she made arrangements to get her sent off to Seattle's chapter. For better or for worse, Voltage is their responsibility now.

== Narrative Significant Qualities ==
===Positive===
* '''Bilingual:''' Voltage is proud to be an elf, and steeped in elven culture. She speaks Sperethiel and English equally well.
* '''Made Woman:''' She's worked hard and proven her worth in order to become a fully-fledged member of the Ancients.
* '''Vehicle Empathy, Stunt Driver, Steely-Eyed Wheelman:''' Lots of quality time spent with Caroline--who is Voltage's yerzed-out Harley-Davidson Nightmare, ''not'' her girlfriend, despite how she talks about her--has given Voltage the practice and skill to become a highly competent wheelwoman.

===Negative===
* '''Distinctive Style:''' Ancients pride, baby! Even if Voltage puts on something other than biker synthleather, it's pretty obvious she's an Ancient. Oh, and those all-black limbs are pretty memorable.
* '''Emotional Attachment (Caroline):''' Voltage loves her bike. Like, she REALLY loves her bike. Not just in the way that most other go-gangers love their bikes; Voltage talks about Caroline, her yerzed-out Harley-Davidson Nightmare, in the same way one might talk about their girlfriend.
* '''Definitely Not An Elven Supremacist:''' (Favored - Common Target, Biased, Elves; Prejudiced - Common Target, Outspoken, Humans)
Voltage has dealt with a few too many dirty metaracist humans. And since nobody really ''gets'' the kind of metaracism that elves face on the regular, nobody has their back but other elves.
* '''One Born Every Minute:''' Voltage can't seem to wrap her mind around the idea of "ulterior motives."
* '''Poor Self Control (Braggart, Combat Monster, Thrill Seeker):''' Nothing impresses girls in bars like a good story about her risky, daring adventures. She's like a real life action hero!
* '''The Goat:''' What do you ''mean'' the obvious Ancient decked out in obvious cyber isn't suspicious? She's perfectly trustworthy. There's no way she's up to any shady drek.
* '''Uneducated:''' School is for suckers. Voltage learned everything she needs to know on the street.
* '''Wanted (CAS FBI, ¥200k):''' "What, it's not ''more?"''

*'''[[Babylon]]:''' Since Babylon is a higher-ranking Ancients member and leads the squad she runs with, Voltage idolizes her a bit and will do ''absolutely anything that Babylon asks her to,'' for better or for worse. They're also sleeping together and are entirely unsubtle about it.

==Appearance==
Voltage is tall, standing at 196 cm (6'5"). She ''could'' pass for a very leanly-muscled ork at a distance, were it not for the very obvious Ancients colors she wears. She has four obvious matte-black cyberlimbs; the arms are brand-new custom models, but the legs look outdated. Her hair is styled up in a dark green mohawk, and the grown-out roots show that it's naturally a dark brown. There's extensive scarring on the right side of her face and neck.

[[File:Voltage spurs.jpg|400px]]

''Voltage, spurs extended.''
=== Clothing ===
Voltage is almost always wearing her synthleather biker vest with a large Ancients patch proudly displayed on the back. Even when she's not armored up, she tends to dress in gang colors, and tends to value utility over style. She usually wears sleeveless shirts to show off her cyberarms.

===Matrix Persona===
A slightly modded version of an-off-the-rack elf persona. The arms and legs are reskinned to bear ''some'' resemblance to her cyberlimbs, though the texture is a little off, and the hairstyle is an approximation of her own.

==Media Mentions==
None locally, but her face has been plastered all over CAS news for getting caught in an act of terrorism and attempted assassination.

==Summary==
In which the runners are hired to extract a “specialist on virtual kinetic neurophysiology” from MCT, and replace them with a doppleganger.

==Background==
[[Cecelia Cross]] has been very interested in some old NeoNET files she was given by [[Pulse]] in [[NeoNETworking]] on something called “Project Tarantula” (a program to train security spiders from birth, which Pulse was a part of), as well as a “Subject T-355” (a prototype transhuman technomancer, created and trained with the accumulated knowledge of Project Tarantula and currently in the hands of MCT after the fall of NeoNET); believing that this information will be of great use to her, and very much desiring to get Subject T-355 into her care, she has been working for several months towards this end.

In [[The Snake Charmer]], [[Vip3r]] assisted one of Cecelia’s former otaku lackeys with acquiring more detailed intel on the project, as well as the location of the MCT facility where Subject T-355 is (along with Vip3r’s father, who was taken there after the events of [[A Nest of Vipers]]). The black site is a zero zone however, and preparation is required for the planned infiltration - Cecelia has identified a target (one Dr. Tatsuda Shinji) who works at the facility but who does not live on-site, who will be extracted and replaced with a body double, then act as a man on the inside for the eventual hit on the site. She has other, more sinister intentions as well, a fact which the runners become aware of over the course of the job.

==The Meet==
Basilisk and Bland are contacted by their respective fixers and told to meet with Cecelia Cross at E-Vue; each manages to get there without too much trouble, and politely wait in line, earning [[Vee-Jay]]’s respect. Meanwhile, Vip3r is contacted by Cecelia directly and asked to meet with her privately upstairs before the meet; during the short chat she asks Vip3r to make sure that things go smoothly on this job, as it relates to their shared goal of extracting her father from MCT custody. Turning on the charm, Cecelia skinlinks with Vip3r briefly, using this opportunity to have a registered sprite attach itself to her to monitor her performance.

Downstairs, while [[Alexander-James Brodrick Johnson III|Brody J]] gets up to shenanigans in the background, the runners meet with Cecelia in her private booth to talk business. Bland takes the lead in facing duties, and Cecelia is forthcoming with what she requires of them, presenting a dossier on their target as well as a pre-selected list of subcontractors who she will pay for their services should the team require them; she also has Pulse on standby, performing another task for her but ready to jump in to help if they need backup Matrix support. After explaining what she wants from them, Cecelia offers the runners 20,000 nuyen each for their services; Bland manages to skillfully negotiate this up to 24,000 each.

When Vip3r looks at the dossier on their target, she recalls something she’s very much tried to push out of her memories - Dr. Shinji, in addition to probably being a war criminal who did Bad Things™ in CalFree during General Saito’s regime, is one of the MCT scientists who experimented on her to discover the secrets of her weird techno-brain. Stunned into silence at this, and very unsure of why Cecelia would choose this particular person, she says very little for the rest of the meet and instead sits in a pensive silence contemplating what sort of situation she’s gotten herself (and her loved ones) into.

==The Plan==
After getting all the information from Cecelia and a number to contact her at when they’re ready for her bodysnatcher to take their target’s place, the team leave E-Vue to plan their crimes. Examining the intel they’ve been given, they see that Dr. Shinji spends about 16 hours a day at work completely cut off from the wider Matrix - the rest of his ~5 hours of free time a day are spent either at home (a condo in a AA zone), or at a number of nearby bars, restaurants, and tea houses. An exceedingly fastidious man, he keeps a detailed day planner, though his schedule frequently changes and Cecelia only has past ones, meaning that his commlink will have to be hacked once it shows up on the grids.

While they wait, Vip3r calls up [[Betz]] and asks her if she can find any more information on Dr. Shinji might help with their task; eager to work against MCT, Betz readily agrees, taking a few hours to get back to her. While they wait, the team split up to do their own thing, and after a while Betz returns with some gossip on the “good” doctor - in addition to a steady girlfriend, he has a number of escorts he visits on occasion, the most regular of which is a monthly appointment at a “geisha parlor” called the House of the Pink Lotus in Auburn. The woman he visits, a Ms. Maniwa Hatsuyo, is rather exclusive and takes clients weeks in advance, but it’s at least an opening for them to potentially exploit; Vip3r does a quick search on Hatsuyo and finds that she’s a shorter-than-average half-Japanese elf, and tries not to be too creeped out by this.

==The Matrix Stuff==
Eventually, after Shinji exits his Faraday-caged workplace, his commlink comes on the Matrix and is able to be spotted out by Vip3r, who easily places a mark onto it before slipping inside the rather spartan homeroom; looking around, she finds his day planner file, as well as a hidden icon - a snake-like sprite, wrapped around a type of file she’s never encountered before (a cookie, tracking activity on Shinji’s commlink and placed there by the Snake Charmer, an MCT technospider Vip3r has previously encountered). She recognizes the resonance signature and resolves to stay hidden from the sprite and not use any of her resonance abilities, since MCT also knows what her signature looks like and will detect her involvement if she does so.
Gearing up to crack the data bomb, Vip3r experiences some truly terrible luck which even the power of edge can’t save her from; Cecelia’s sprite attempts to assist her, but once that proves to not be enough it uses Sacrifice to tank the damage so that Vip3r’s brain isn’t blown up. She sees the sparkles this effect leaves on her aura, but is more concerned with the failed attempt - thankfully the file remains present, however the sprite is alerted to her presence. As the sprite sacrifices itself, Cecelia receives word that Vip3r needs help and dispatches Pulse to assist.

Pulse kicks in the virtual door of the commlink just in time to see the courier sprite strike at Vip3r, leaving a strange hidden file attached to her persona, before rezzing out - Vip3r doesn’t notice this, as she’s too busy copying the file and attempting to place a null-password data bomb on it so that Shinji will not notice it was compromised. Her luck continues to fail her in this, however this time Pulse is on hand to lend assistance, and together the two of them cover up the slightly-sloppy hack and jack out. Pulse lets Vip3r know about the cookie on her, and she manages to delete it, however she is concerned that the rival techno knows she was there.

==The Moral Complications==
Once the hack is complete and the team has Shinji’s complete schedule for the next few days (including the exact day/time of his visit to Ms. Hatsuyo), the runners meetup at a no-tell motel in Auburn to discuss their findings and what to do next. As Pulse is leaving E-Vue, he notices Cecelia talking with X, the man who trained him (and subjected him to unethical metahuman experimentation) and who she was introduced to after the events of NeoNETworking; he is understandably unnerved by this, especially after seeing that he and Cecelia are looking at readings of what looks like EEG data from a technomancer’s brain, and leaves with a look.

Vip3r is not happy to learn Cecelia was watching her, nor that she has potentially-nefarious plans for Dr. Shinji’s knowledge - the revelation from Pulse that she is working with an actual mad scientist and evidently planning some sort of experiments on the technomancers in her employ casts doubt on most of their previous interactions, and Vip3r valiantly fails to hold her composure together as she starts to have an incipient mental breakdown. A few kind words from the other runners (especially Bland, who really puts his empathy skills to work) are enough to calm her down, and eventually they decide that the only choice is to go forward with the job - not delivering Dr. Shinji will compromise her relationship with Cecelia and styme her efforts to rescue her father from MCT custody. With that, the team steel themselves for what’s ahead.

==The Run==
The next day, the runners kit up and prepare for Shinji’s visit to the House of the Pink Lotus, calling Cecelia to make sure that her body snatcher is ready to seamlessly take his place when they subdue him. Knowing they’ll need someone to take Ms. Hatsuyo’s place, they decide to call in Triple Trouble for assistance; not wanting to have to kidnap a woman just for doing her job, they decide to have Bland call her up and arrange for a meeting, offering a thousand nuyen just to meet for dinner and talk and a good deal more for her services. He persuades her to meet at a nearby restaurant, and subsequently offers 20,000 nuyen (4k from each runner) for her to take the night off while TT takes her place, and that no one will ever know she wasn’t there. She balks at initial the offer, stating that she makes a lot of money from clients like Shinji and that her reputation is on the line, but is eventually persuaded to go with it for the promise of 30,000.

Later, at the House of the Pink Lotus, Triple Trouble (now disguised as Hatsuyo) makes her way inside while Basilisk sneaks around back (barely avoiding being caught by another worker on their smoke break) and into the window to hide under the bed. Shinji and his bodyguard/driver arrive, with the latter staying out in the car while the former does his thing, and Bland keeps a close eye on him while Pulse and Vip3r handle Matrix concerns. Once inside, Triple Trouble locates the lynchpin for the ward around the building, managing to get into a supply closet where there’s a small shrine and disturb the idol so the ward is taken down; thankfully it’s a standard security job and the contractor won’t notice until the next day that something’s amiss.

Once alone with Shinji, Triple Trouble goes through the geisha routine before retiring to their private chambers, where Basilisk waits to nerve strike the doc into paralysis. Binding and gagging him, Triple Trouble makes him invisible and levitates him outside while the doppleganger takes his place, and Basilisk exits the way that she came. Pulse and Vip3r are able to spot out and subvert the bodyguard’s ultrasound sensor, letting the switch take place undetected, and the body double seamlessly takes Shinji’s place while the team cart him away.

==Aftermath==
Heading to a no-tell motel to lay low, the team decides to give Vip3r five minutes alone with Dr. Shinji for some personal satisfaction. Afterwords, they arrange to meet up with Cecelia at a warehouse in Everett, and there is much tension in the air as the runners turn over Dr. Shinji. Vip3r and Pulse manage to not give anything away, though the former notices some oddness to Cecelia’s resonance signature, and she pays the team and sends them on their way.

On the way out, Triple Trouble assenses Cecelia, though they do not discover her secret; the attempt is noticed by her aware bodyguard however, and she asks TT to stay behind so that she can “complement their acting skills”; eager to leave, Pulse and Vip3r take their exit, followed quickly by Bland, though Basilisk waits around outside just in case. From inside the warehouse the snerson (snake person) hears the loud '''slap''' as Cecelia strikes TT across the face, telling them that if they ever tell anyone what they saw, or attempt to use it for ritual magic or body snatching shenanigans, that she’ll have them killed in their sleep, before telling them to get out.

===[[Bland]]===
"Usually I am pleased when a run goes as smoothly as this one went. The reaction by Vip3r to the target, and the potential opportunities gained by the Johnson, have me worried. I can't really say I understand the whole "technomancer" debate, and the lengths the big corps will go to to control them, but from my point of view, they are just normal people with a particularly useful gift. Best to let them be them; no need to control them anymore than anyone else. Of course, the big corps will never let that happen. I can only hope that what we did here today does not come back and hammer us later. Or anyone else for that matter."

===[[Vip3r]]===
That was... ''frag.''

Frag. Uh... I can't shake the feeling that I'm doing something absolutely, utterly terrible. A lot of subjects in that study died, a lot of them didn't make it out, and I'm lucky that what happened to me was reversible--albeit with extensive surgery, but still. I don't know what Cecelia plans to do with Shinji going forward, and if she employs people like X then how do I know she won't have them both butchering other technomancers in the future??? And if that happens, it's ''my'' fault, and my parents are still going to be involved in it, and, hell, maybe one day if Cecelia thinks I'm suddenly not useful anymore I'll end up back on that table.

But I think I have a way to fix this. Maybe. It'll require me to keep Mom and Dad off MCT's radar for a while, and there's going to be a steep price involved that I don't know if I'll ever pay off, but it'll be better than letting myself continue to be an accessory to whatever the hell is going on here. I just really hope it works.

==Summary==
In which the runners steal a bunch of 5th World media from Horizon by breaking into Virtual World Disney's vault.

==Background==
During the events of [[Evergreen Kingdom]], an old physical vault beneath the titular amusement park was unsealed by runners. Along with a roller coaster model and [[Mucky Mouse|a horror which shall not be named]], some old media previously thought lost in one of the Matrix crashes was discovered which made it's way into Horizon-Disney's hands. One avid trideo pirate, [[Jesse Pop]], has gotten wind of this and knows from experience what happens next - the properties will be digitized and stored in a virtual vault, specifically the Foundation of Virtual Disney World. Wanting the files for himself, Jessie decides to contract a team of runners from the Haven; unfortunately Jessie isn't the only one after the files, and another Mr. Johnson has sent a powerful technomancer runner in just ahead of the team, who has managed to establish control over the Master Control node by the time they arrive.

==The Meet==
The runners are contacted individually by their fixers and provided with a MARK to Jesse Pop's rogue host - Jesse is there to greet them when they arrive, dressed in full pirate regalia of course, and explains what he wants from them, providing them with a list of files (with one in particular being circled as a "must obtain" piece of media which a client has offered to pay a lot of money for). He also warns the team that they're likely not the only people after the files, and they should expect trouble. Rather than negotiate with a bunch of nerds, he just kicks open a virtual treasure chest full of money transfers and offers them 30 grand apeace to get the job done. The runners accept this proposition, and begin their preparations at once.

==The Plan==
While Cricket puts her affairs in order, Master Morty puts his Prime Datahaven Membership with The Helix to work, hopping onto the datahaven and looking for information on the Virtual World Disney host - an excellent search roll and a bit of luck, plus some purloined paydata he's picked up from previous jobs, gets Morty access to a post from a runner going by the handle "Kaleidoscope", detailing how the paradigm seems to be a mishmash of different eras of Disney World and that people going inside tend to appear as various mascots and have to play their role; it also says that they've placed an anchor there as well as a note saying "taking a dive, will have more soon", confirming that they will have competition.

Meanwhile, Pulse hits the 'trix to search for rumors about the host's Foundation, confirming the information Morty obtained from other hackers as well as finding a cryptic warning saying only "don't go into the sphere". Sharing that with the others, he proceeds to call up [[Cecelia Cross]], since he needs someone to take care of his dogs Exception and Framework while he's under - Cecelia is feeling nice and agrees to do so, only to receive another call from Vip3r shortly thereafter asking to make use of her techno-batcave underneath E-Vue (established in [[Snake! Kernel! Panic!]], and now staffed with the former otaku freed during the events of [[Awake, Dear Heart]]), which she allows in exchange for a chip.

Now equipped with a hacker cave to do their work from, the team make their way over to E-Vue and have a brief encounter with [[Vee-Jay]] (as usual, the runners are disrespectful and attempt to skip the line, with only Pulse waiting politely and endearing himself to the bouncer)before being shown inside and down through a secret set of stairs to a room lined with valkyree modules (half of which seem to be currently occupied) and staffed with technicians and medical staff. Taking their drugs, they all get settled in and hooked up to the equipment before jacking into VR. In order to locate eachother once they're inside, the team establish a code-phrase ("It's a magical place") so that they can identify eachother without breaking character.

==The Run==
Rezzing onto the Horizon Global Grid, the team have little trouble locating the Virtual World Disney destination host; paying the exorbitant entry fee (as well as getting themselves digital Fast Passes), they are each equipped with a [[Mucky Mouse]] personal IC and allowed into the theme park. The hackers fan out to look for the Foundation portal - Cricket indulges and gets some simsense churros, while Pulse, having never been to an amusement park before, decides to go on some of the rides, spotting a rabbit hole in a parkland section from the top of the roller coaster. After enjoying the offerings of the park for a short while, they make their way there, hopping the virtual fence (to Mucky's protests) and each managing in turn to get a mark on the portal and enter the Foundaiton.

Inside, Morty finds himself - to his great consternation - in the costume of the Hunchback of Notre Dame ("Of course! Of course I wouldn't be the prince!"), inside of a certain pirate-themed ride. Deducing that he's in the slave control node once he makes contact with one of the chains, he makes his way out of the ride and starts wandering through the streets of the park, noticing that everything seems to be in black-and-white. Meanwhile, Cricket finds herself near Space Mountain in the suit of an anthropomorphic grasshopper (a-la A Bug's Life) - grinning, she immediately embraces the villain persona, cackling about her evil plans and summoning her "minions" (spirtes) to accompany her. She is able to determine that the ride is in fact the archive node that they're searching for, and that one will have to ride it to fetch files, but the line is a long one and she cannot wait around without causing a scene, so she starts to make her way towards the rest of the park to look for the others. Also meanwhile, Pulse (in the guise of Aladdin) and Vip3r (costumed as Sir Hiss from Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, to her immense satisfaction), find themselves in the tunnels below the monorail (i.e. the scaffolding node), quickly managing to locate and identify eachother before going topside and emerging near the central castle.

Cricket and Morty's paths converge just to the north of the castle, and they are able to identify one-another using the code-phrase. Making their way towards the castle, Morty's matrix eyes (which have been acting strange ever since the events of [[The Deepest Dive]]) manage to spot a moving splotch of colour in the black-and-white world - the Foundation denizens seem to take no notice of the technicolour figure, but Morty watches as they whisper something into the ear of one of the castle guards, who suddenly becomes colourful himself as he makes his way inside with the mystery figure. On the other side of the castle, Pulse manages to spot the same figure exiting shortly thereafter and making their way towards an ominous white sphere on the horizon (the EPCOT center, and the null node). The four of them meet up and begin to talk in-character about what to do, settling with locating the portal node so that they have a path to escape this place before getting back to the archive.

Wandering down Main Street USA, the group manage to blend into the paradigm and not provoke any undue attention from the denizens, nor the host sculptor who is working away in the scaffolding node. At the park entrance, they find a colourful ticket at the booth, and that the ticket agent has also been afflicted with strange technicolour-ness. Pulse approaches to ask a question and determine that the booth is the portal node, but not wanting to chance leaving an anchor and provoking the ticket taker's ire they simply leave and make their way back towards the castle. En-route though Pulse feels something moving beneath his hat, and takes it off to find a small monkey with a red fez carrying gold lamp which runs off - he proceeds to chase after it, followed at his heals by the rest of the team, eventually managing to catch the monkey and rub the lamp. This produces the expected result - a huge blue genie emerging - however since the paradigm is that they're in a theme park and not an animated movie their reaction to this ends up provoking variance from the Foundation.

Taking a close look at the "genie", Cricket and Vip3r are able to confirm that it's actually a fault sprite (sent by Kaleidoscope to styme the rival runners and establish control over the MC node while they skim the dox of the null node and make their way to the archive). As reality begins to crumble around them and turn into a fantastical musical number/acid trip sequence, the hackers realize what's happening and that they need to make their way towards the castle (the master control node) and perform a Calm the Beast action; the world doesn't make that easy for them however, as most of the black-and-white scenery falls away, leaving only the nodes and the faint data trails between them in the form of scattered pieces of pathway floating in a technicolour void. Hopping from platform to platform using their enhanced physical abilities to treat reality like a video game, the runners reach the castle and begin their ascent, climbing to the top of the bell tower while avoiding the genie's assault to find a colorful bell-ringer (a crack sprite) waiting for them there guarding the node.

A pitched fight ensues with the sprites, with Morty swinging from the bell tower and Vip3r using her hypnotic powers to try to sway the genie's actions, while Pulse gets into a wrestling match with the bell-ringer and Cricket directs her "minions" in battle. From their elevated perspective, the runners catch sight of the storm of colour with a humanoid figure - Kaleidoscope - at the center leaving the null node and making its way towards the archive while their battle rages on, and with the Power of Friendship (and Matrix magic), they manage to work together to overcome their foes - Pulse tossing one from the top of the tower to their Disney Villain Death while the two technos manage to diffuse away the genie's firewall and take him down, dissipating the sprite into the colorful void.

While Pulse catches his breath and Morty works to Calm the Beast and make the Foundation stop trying to murder them all by frantically ringing the bell, Cricket and Vip3r spot Kaleidoscope and the Resonance-infused swirl of colour surrounding them, determining that it's a hyperthreaded suit of complex form buffs, and manage to teamwork a Kill Complex Form test to siphon away a bit of their power before they vanish as reality begins to reform around them. Coming up with a clever plan, Pulse risks altering reality to a) create a new Star Wars-themed ride that will both draw the Foundation denizens away from Space Mountain and create a flood of people heading in Kaleidoscope's direction that will hopefully slow their progress, and b) creating them a magic carpet to get to the archive node in style. The first trick works like charm, though the second nearly provokes variance again until the team sing their hearts out, which is enough to convince reality to ignore their bulldrek and go back to sleep.

With the power of flight on their side, the team are able to beat Kaleidoscope to the archive node, however they find that there is still a short line of Foundation denizens there. Cricket gets up to make a speech about how the world will soon be theirs, and Vip3r uses her hypno-powers (puppeteer) to gently encourage the denizens to join up as the grasshopper's minions and keep watch for her enemies. The sprites and the charmed denizens keep a sharp eye out, however it is once again Master Morty who's eyes manage to spot Kaleidoscope, veiled in enough Resonance so as to be nearly imperceptible to the rest of the world, making their way past the line and into the ride. He points this out, and (waiting patiently in line as usual) calls out the line-cutter, with Cricket directing her "minions" to chase after them and teach them a lesson. Inside the ride however, they find the rival techno ascending to the roller coaster cart, the front of which speeds off and leaves the rest behind in the form of a massive machine sprite.

Morty uses his rope swinging skills to catch onto the speeding cart as it zooms down the tunnel, leaving the rest of the team to fight the big boss monster while the Foundation works to detect something amiss, the denizens panicking and the ride slowly coming apart around them as it barely misses the threshold to trigger variance again; working together, they are able to just barely overcome the sprite while Morty attempts to slow Kaleidoscope's progress, eventually being puppeteer'd to let go of the speeding cart. They rush through the tunnel on foot and arrive at the heart of the archive node (a virtual laser show) just in time to see the rival runner plucking out files - Cricket and Vip3r prepare to work their mojo while Morty readies his hammer program, however Pulse has no desire for a straight-up fight with this person and proceeds to smackdown a sucker punch right to the gut while they're surprised. The others line up behind him to play hype man, and Pulse lays down a truly GOD-tier intimidation check to convince their foe to hand over the files - they do so, minus a single late-60's B-movie that they seem very intent on keeping (and which, since it's not on their list, the runners see no reason to begrudge them) - before vanishing in a cloud of technicolour smoke and leaving them with their prize.

With Jesse's data in hand, the runners decide to beat a quick retreat, making their way out of Space Mountain and using their magic carpet to quickly return to the portal node, where the technicolour ticket agent has vanished, leaving them free to leave. Morty and Pulse are able to make their Exit Foundation rolls and leave the park, however Cricket and Vip3r find themselves stopped at the gate, with a mob of Foundation denizens turning towards them and readying their torches and pitchforks - frantically making another attempt to escape and pulling it off by the skin of their teeth, returning to the grid as the park gates slam shut behind them.

==Aftermath==
Waking up in the Valkyrie modules, the hackers take stock of their various injuries and have the extent of their brain damage assessed by the medical technicians before returning to Jesse Pop's host, where they hand over the stolen paydata and are paid in full for their efforts, along with an offer of alternate remuneration in the form of electronics or pirated media.

==Rewards==
* 30,000 nuyen
* 3 karma
* 2 CDP
* Optional Contact: [[Jesse Pop]] (C6/L1 Fixer) for 6 RVP or 12 CDP
* Optional Gear Reward: Electronics, Hardware, and Trideo Shows

For Pulse:
* Optional Contact: Vee-Jay (C2/L2 Bouncer) for 3 RVP or 6 CDP

==Player After Action Reports (AARs)==
===[[Master Morty]]===
"Foundations are just plain weird. Somebody's fantasy sure, but so far not mine. This one was all about the most popular theme park in the world; and I hated it. Stuck in the body of the Hunchback of Notre Damme. Go figures. Couldn't be the Prince just one time in this miserable life? Guess not. But we did what we came to do, with only a bit of competition to sneer at. Good crew, but for some reason I get the idea that they don't trust me. Trust me? Come now, I'm definitely a man of my word. And when I become a God, you can trust me to remember you to..."

===[[Cricket]]===
"Ghost, foundation dives feel ''amazing''. Hated the cheesy ass paradigm this one had, but just being able to feel the raw matrix like that was incredible. We got the job done clean and I don't even have brain damage to show for it. The crew was solid, a far cry from most of the meatheads on here who can barely use a commlink. Vip3r's forms were novahot, Pulse scared the hell out of that other runner, and Morty... I gotta give him credit. For an ego-tripping piece of drek wannabe god, the guy slings some pretty solid code."

===[[Vip3r]]===
Sure was nice to actually have some purpose on a Foundation dive. Hah.
Uh, bitter digs about past runs aside, being on a proper dive felt ''great.'' Morty still gives me the creeps, but I gotta admit he's a ''damn'' good hacker. And this was my first time actually working with Pulse and Cricket, and, really? There are few people I think I would rather have been down there with. I'd be happy to work with either of them again, which is great, because I know I'll need Pulse's help in the future.

===Summary===
A technomancer and a technological prodigy from an early age, Vip3r has been at home in the Matrix since long before she emerged. She's a skilled hacker and street survivalist, and isn't bad at talking her way out of trouble either.

==Background==

Vip3r taught herself to hack for fun and survival as a juvenile delinquent on the streets of the Redmond Barrens. She was adopted as a teenager by Ken and Laura Tanaka, a pair of middle-class MCT citizens who put her through high school, where she proved to be such a skilled learner that she was handed a corporate scholarship that would ''almost'' cover a college education and give her a direct pipeline to a stable career. In a desperate attempt to cover the rest, Vip3r took a shadowrun that ended in disaster, earning her eight years in Shadow Lake Correctional Facility at the age of seventeen. Four years in, she was offered a deal that would shave two years off of her sentence. It was framed as a work opportunity, but instead, it made her a lab rat in an intense and dubiously-ethical technomancer research operation by MCT.

MCT turns Vip3r loose two years later after the Tanakas signed over their freedom on her behalf, putting her back on the street with no family, no contacts, and not-insignificant neurological damage that rendered her unable to hold a regular job or schedule.

With a criminal SIN and nowhere else to turn for income, she began taking small-time hacking jobs again. As she did, people began to notice her skill, and Vip3r eventually attracted the attention of the Eighty-Eights Triad. They offered to burn her criminal SIN and set her up with a fake if she agreed to work for them in exchange, and in no position to refuse, Vip3r accepted.

==Goals==
* Extract her father, Ken Tanaka, from his lifelong contract with MCT.
* Establish a network with other technomancers, and determine how to use her ability and position to make the world a better place for others like her.

==Narrative Significant Qualities==

===Positive===

*'''Social Infiltrator:''' (Alibi + First Impression + Honest Face)
Having had to adapt to many different living situations over the course of her life has taught Vip3r how to look like she belongs almost anywhere.
*'''Paragon (01):''' At [[Betz]]'s suggestion, Vip3r has sought communion with 01 out of a desire for a deeper understanding of the Resonance and a meaningful connection to other technomancers.
*'''Resonant Stream: Sourceror:''' Having always been heavily reliant on her own ability, Vip3r has chosen to focus on her own skill with complex forms rather than depending on the use of sprites.
*'''School of Hard Knocks:''' Vip3r spent most of her childhood learning to survive on the streets of the Redmond Barrens. Navigating urban life is in her nature.
*'''Sensei:''' [[Betz]] has become a mentor and a source of support for Vip3r. She works with her to help hone her Cracking skills, and to teach her more about what it means to be emerged.

===Negative===
* '''Drug-Dependent:''' (Wired User + Mild Addictions to Psyche & Novacoke)
Using performance-enhancing drugs a little ''too'' frequently has made Vip3r reliant on them.
*'''Snake Queen of the Resonance:''' (Distinctive Style + Unique Avatar)
''Vip3r'' is more than just a name; it's an ''identity.'' Snake tattoos, snakebite piercings, fangs and a split tongue, and a custom-crafted anthropomorphic snake Matrix persona make that identity ''unmistakable.''
*'''Driven:''' When they found out about her captivity in a Mitsuhama black site, Vip3r's adoptive parents gave up their freedom to trade it for hers. She is determined to repay their favor. So far, she's managed to extract her mother, but getting her father out of his contract and on-site employee housing in a newly-constructed Zero Zone she's discovered in Auburn is going to prove far more difficult.

===Organizations===

*'''[[Eighty-Eights Triad]]:''' Despite turning down official membership in the Triad, Vip3r will not work against the Eighty-Eights as a result of the assistance they offered her when she was in need.
* +10 '''[[Mothers of Metahumans]]''' rep and +10 '''[[Skraacha]]''' rep for breaking [[Kenneth "Flamesaw" Murphy]] out of prison.
* -70 Tamanous rep, +10 Black Lodge rep, and +5 Starscreamers rep for destroying Tamanous's largest organ farm in Seattle.
* +13 Cross Applied Technologies rep, -5 Federated Boeing rep for working for Cecelia Cross and burning Brodie J's house down.
* -40 [[Mitsuhama Computer Technologies]] rep for killing four Petrovski Security personnel and kidnapping one of their HR executives


===Allies===
* [[Harebuck]] & [[Absolute Zero]]: Vip3r's best friends and roommates. Harebuck introduced her to the Haven, and she met Zero while living in San Francisco.
* [[Black Samurai]]: Vip3r's cousin, whom she only met recently as a result of having been cut off from her blood family.
* [[Shine]] & [[Zenith]]: Fellow runners who know Vip3r's history and secrets. She considers them a part of her chosen family, along with the above.

===Enemies===

* '''[[Mitsuhama Computer Technologies]]:''' You read the above information, right? Vip3r has plenty of reason to hate and fear MCT, and is bent on revenge after a year spent avoiding them at all costs.

* '''[[Kakei Steve|Steven Shimada]]:''' In [[Family, Duty, Honor]], Vip3r received a call from Steve in which he addressed her by her birth name and revealed personal information about her family that even she wasn't aware of. She independently discovered his ties to MCT, and [[Shine]] convinced her to have him killed. Then, in [[Cultivation Crisis]], she learned that he signed off on the contract that put the Tanakas under lifelong MCT control, and ''also'' withheld a letter from her mother that would've shown her that she hadn't been abandoned during her time in lockup. She was determined to have him killed and even [[A Nest of Vipers|made plans to do so]], but abandoned her plans when she realized he had no clear intent to turn her in to MCT and had been delaying the Tanakas' transfer to a newly-constructed Zero Zone. She still hates and distrusts him, however, and is unlikely to trust anyone who associates with him.

* '''Unnamed Renraku Spider:''' In [[A Steller Discovery]], Vip3r engaged in a heated Matrix battle with a Renraku decker with a cyber-ninja persona who was part of a team sent to retrieve a chunk of Halley's comet. She dodged a series of link-lock-biofeedback-dataspikes and insulted him by forcing him to jack out. He's, uh, ''not happy'' about that encounter, and if Vip3r runs against him again, he'll probably be less than thrilled to see her massive iridescent snersona (snake persona) on the Matrix.

=In Character Information=

==Symbols and Signatures==
As her name would suggest, Vip3r is committed to a snake motif and specifically incorporates African bush vipers into her design. There's no particular symbolism to them; Vip3r just thinks they look cool. Multiple snake tattoos are visible on her forearms and neck, her Matrix persona is an anthropomorphic snake, and her marks look like snakebites.

|Vip3r's datajack is deltaware, and she has delta-grade implants and cybernetic systems installed in her brain and spinal cord (Visualizer, EARRS). Delta-grade bioware boosts her cognitive function and toxin filtration (cerebral booster, mnemonic enhancer, nephritic screen), and she is genetically enhanced for a greater resistance to negative drug effects & better highs as well as faster and more efficient neurotransmission. The spark of Resonance in her aura marks her as a technomancer.

==SINs==

*'''Aya Takahashi:''' R6 UCAS fake SIN. Cyberdeck license, Driver's license, Matrix Security license.
* '''Alison Chiba:''' R6 Saeder-Krupp fake SIN. Cyberdeck license, Driver's license, Matrix Security license.

==Appearance==
Standing at 5'7" (170cm), Vip3r is a Japanese elf woman with a short undercut, snakebite piercings, and visible snake tattoos (which, specifically, are African bush vipers) on her forearms and neck.
===Clothing===
Vip3r dresses for utility and comfort, typically in a street-punk style, favoring blacks and greys with accents in purples or teals. She frequently does her shadowrunning in an armored synthleather jacket, grey with a high collar and plenty of pockets on the inside and out. For jobs with higher-end clients, she has an Executive Suite suit in dark grey, accented in light blue.
===Matrix Persona===
She switches between two Matrix personas, depending on what image she wants to convey. The first, and more "professional" of the two, is a stylized version of her actual appearance, standing slightly taller than her natural height and wearing a long snakeskin coat. The other, which she prefers and which sees more frequent use, is an anthropomorphic snake modelled after an African bush viper, with iridescent dark-purple scales.
