===Summary===
'''Sc4rl3tt is very enthusiastic about the word "hacker".''' She tends to run at the word "technomancer" even if she is a very closeted one. She weaves a mask born of gentle Southern breeding, a thick accent, a polite refusal to answer questions as to how she does what she does. This mask helps to hide her absolute inability to connect with people on any sort of level - she does not seem to be an issue with animals, sprites, code, devices, hosts, IC, or [[Crypt3ch]].

===Goals===

*<s>To find somewhere she doesn't need to be anything but her. It's irksome to have to pick up and move when the villagers come out with their torches and pitchforks because you're wired differently.</s> [[Crypt3ch]] has done wonders in accepting her for all that she is and [[Purkinje]] has helped her to see that she isn't alone as a technomancer and that the tree is many branching, though all paths lead to the root.

*To deepen her connection with the Matrix, the "hum", and her abilities since it's the only place she's ever felt a 'high' or a 'low' and her hedonic treadmill didn't snap her back to 'normal' immediately after.
*To learn to rely on her own abilities rather than using a crutch (sprites) in the Matrix.
*To learn to drive and not die.
*To mother something other than an Abrams Lobster.

===Havenites Sc4rl3tt will not work with===

*[[K9]] - Sc4rl3tt doesn't like anyone that A) causes machinery to flip out if they are within a 50-yard radius, and B) actively searches out technomancers. The two did one job together, and Sc4rl3tt said to K9, "Bless your heart!" far too many times for it not to be understood there is a lot of bad blood there.
*[[Wild Star]] - Sc4rl3tt hates Lone Star with a fiery passion. Anyone working for them is the enemy; Sc4rl3tt would be much more likely to put a bullet in Wild Star's head than actually participate in a job with her.
*[[Hydro]] - Sc4rl3tt considers the idol to be far too emotional and completely unaware of the world around them. This is not someone Sc4rl3tt would trust to have her back.
*[[Lucky]] - They did one job together and that's all it took. Never again. And she won't forget that he took advantage of her while she was trying to hack for the team. 

==The Story So Far==

===On Being Thrown Aside by Corpsecs===
[REDACTED] was the youngest of three girls born to Mr. and Mrs. [REDACTED]. She was raised between Amarillo, Texas, and Atlanta, Georgia, as her father's business with LoneStar took him far and wide across the CAS. [REDACTED] did not develop like her sisters. She didn't talk, didn't make eye contact, had little ability to empathize, and seemed to have little concern with others around her. Before her parents learned that even the best psychologists have loose lips, [REDACTED] was diagnosed by several in early childhood, though the consensus of what was wrong with the girl varied greatly between them: some said it was antisocial personality disorder (sociopathy) while others plased her on the autism spectrum disorder. To have a daughter with such an affliction was an affront to the sensibilities of her parents and their desire to progress upward in society. [REDACTED] was heavily coached from early childhood on how a "Proper Southern Lady" behaves.

These facts were often instilled painfully, either physically or emotionally. For a normal girl, this would have been torture. For [REDACTED] it was simply the way of life and how people treated each other.

[REDACTED] emerged quickly after Crash 2.0. It was not discovered until she was approximately thirteen by her parents when the young girl was found playing with a unicorn visible only in AR - she called the creature Llamrei and it seemed very bound to the girl. Close inspection by an "expert" revealed that this was a sprite and young [REDACTED] had indeed brought it forth into the world.

A lot of money was thrown at the "problem" of [REDACTED]. But you can't fix what isn't broken.

At the age of 16, her father had had enough; [REDACTED] had been caught hacking the LoneStar host he worked at. Her father was determined to have the girl killed so they could "be rid of the stain on the family treee". Her mother finally pleaded with her father to let [REDACTED] go, telling him that she would place [REDACTED] in the hands of 'relatives in Europe'. The woman instead drove [REDACTED] far out on to a country road, kicked her out of the car, and told the sixteen year old to 'get by on her own and forget she had a family, because how could they ever accept someone like her? Or even love something like her?'.

[REDACTED] still has her SIN from those days, biding her time until she can make it clear to them that she did fine without them. A kind stranger took pity on the teenager and brought her in to a group home; here is where [REDACTED] picked up the moniker 'Scarlett' - a Southern red head who was more stubborn than a mule and determined she would never go without again. Scarlett soon became Sc4rl3tt, an homage to her preferred method of keeping food in her stomach.
 

===On Learning to Run Before She Could Walk===
Sc4rl3tt spent the better part of a decade running all over the South. She took small jobs here and there, never staying long enough to have people get attached and never revealing the true nature of her abilities. She always carried a broken deck in those days, just in case there were questions. She spent enough time in and around Atlanta that she developed contacts with [[David Harsmen]]. It was here she pulled off her most public heist to date: a breach of LoneStar's private employee files which she posted everywhere she could find. A lot of powerful men were outed for the disgusting creatures they were: adulterers, leechers, pedophiles, sadists, and abusers of the innocent. LoneStar did manage to get a lid on things and blamed middle management for the breach. As a result of her hack, over 100 people lost their jobs. Her father was unfortunately unaffected by the dump publicly, though there are some at LoneStar who have connected the hack years before by Sc4rl3tt with this one and are holding the information over her father's head.

Eventually, the heat in Atlanta got to be too much for the girl. [[David Harsmen]] offered to introduce her to a runner community in Seattle where she could find some work if she wanted.

===On Finding Roots===
Sc4rl3tt was taken in to the organization known as [[ShadowHaven]] with little fuss based on the recommendation of [[David Harsmen]]. Here she found a much different culture than the one she was used to: a very accepting attitude of her kind. She remains unwilling to be as free with the information on the Haven as some are but there are a select few who know her secret. It was also in Seattle that she found the other part of her soul: [[Crypt3ch]] and his pet Abrams Lobster Charlie. The old decker is the only person that has ever made Sc4rl3tt really feel anything in her entire life and he has accepted her the way she is. The pair live in a house on [[Bell-Red Street]] with Charlie. Both [[Crypt3ch]] and Charlie indulge Sc4rl3tt in her love of drawing (the only good thing that ever came out of her dealings with therapists), her need to boop snoots, and her desire to sink deeper into the "Hum".

A chance encounter with a drone one sunny afternoon sent Sc4rl3tt on a quest that lasted weeks. It was through this quest Sc4rl3tt met [[Purkinje]] and was shown that she didn't have do this technomancer thing alone. It was a very moving experience for her and the second most emotionally impactful thing that has ever happened to the woman (the first being [[Crypt3ch]] admitting he was in love with her).

==Narrative Significant Qualities==

===My Brain has a Lot of Crossed Wires (Antipathy + Trust Data, Not Lore + Reduced Taste)===
Sc4rl3tt has an odd brain, even for a technomancer. She has great trouble connecting with people emotionally (animals not so much) and does not seem to care about the well-being of her fellow runners for the most part. There are exceptions to this rule: [[Crypt3ch]] and [[Purkinje]]. Because she lacks the ability to really have emotions unless she works at it, she also doesn't trust her gut one bit and depends on facts to get the job done. She also blames her odd brain and too many brain wires crossed for her synesthesia (she sees numbers and letters in colors) and reduced sense of taste (don't ever tell [[Crypt3ch]] she can't really taste his cooking, ok?).
 

===Social Masks and the Darker Truth (High Charisma + Etiquette)===
Whatever she may think of her mother and sisters, they did teach Sc4rl3tt how to be a 'proper Southern Belle' in spite of her 'condition'. She weaves together a pretty convincing mask when she wants to but there are points where she simply goes "blank" - her face has no expression, her eyes seem dead, she speaks in a very measured tone. ''This is the real Sc4rl3tt.'' She does tend to blame this on a "pain editor" she technically does not have.
 

===Technomancy in All Its Closeted Glory===
Sc4rl3tt has slipped away from the traditional route of sprite herding and has learned to start depending on herself, following a new path greatly aided by [[Purkinje]] and [[Crypt3ch]]. She is still very hush hush about being a techno, but hasn't run away just because a few select people know. [[Crypt3ch]] has taught her his own form of just bashing things and throwing data spikes (though hers will never match in ferocity to his, as he is 'The Greatests Spike Slinger in the Emerald City!'). [[Purkinje]] has introduced her to those that think like her and taught her she doesn't have to do this alone.

==Appearance==
===Clothing===
If it weren't for that shock of auburn hair and those luminescent green eyes, you'd never really remember her if you saw her on the street - which is how she likes it. While she is 'attractive' Sc4rl3tt goes to great lengths to downplay any distinctiveness (covering her hair, hiding behind sunglasses). Typically she dresses in black, favoring zip up hoodies, t-shirts with bands everyone has heard of, leggings, and tennis shoes that are at least 60 years out of date.

===Matrix Persona===
In the matrix, Sc4rl3tt lets her guard down slightly - she appears much as she does on the street, but her hair is a neon rainbow riot of color. Her complex forms often twist around in a multiude of colors, usually made up of individual numbers (a nod to her synthesia). Her sprites are often modeled on fantastical creatures - and Llamrei still pops up from time to time.

SedatedAlice: /* Hi! I'm SedatedAlice! */

[[File:Alice Unicorn.png|center]]

==Hi! I'm SedatedAlice!==
I am a level 3 GM on the Haven that specializes in new player runs, Matrix games, and character advancing runs (think initiations, dealing with bounties, submersions, etc.).

==Style==

*I am a big, big fan of storytelling. My runs tend to have a big focus on narrative elements over combat, so be prepared: your combat heavy character may not have much to do on my runs.
*My Johnsons will only work with PC's they deem professional.
*My runs tend to run the gambit between pink mohawk and black trenchcoat - the run post itself will be your best guide as to the tone of the run.
*I enjoy doing runs that are personalized and happily take requests! Just DM me on Discord.

==Player Safety==
Player/roleplay safety is a big thing on my table. As a reminder: playing an X-Card is your right on the Haven, and I encourage you to use all the player safety tools at your disposal! I'm here to make sure we all have fun, and being uncomfortable isn't fun! I have macros, tokens, and cards set up on my Roll20 to make sure you have all the tools to help me know if I am making you uncomfortable!

==Pick Policy==
In an attempt to make things as fun for all as possible, I try to strike a balance with run picks in roughly this priority:

*To create a balanced team dynamic so as to ensure a smooth run with the highest chance of success (everyone wants to be a winner, right!)
*To make sure that each person has their time to do cool stuff! It's no fun being the person doing all the work or the person who wonders why they were even brought on the run.
*To reward people who do things I appreciate as a writer! It's hard sometimes to balance narrative and wanting to be an optimized bad ass, and I appreciate someone who likes narrative fluff more than optimized flavor.

In short: I attempt to make thematically interesting and mechanically balanced teams from the applicant pool that has the highest chance of success.

==Declining The Meet==
I allow players to decline the meet if there is a character conflict I may have missed. Please have why you might decline a meet on your wiki page - or at the latest, let me know when I post picks for the run.
==There's More than One Way==
Instead of flatly declining a job, sometimes it is interesting to work for a different outcome than the one the rest of the players are aiming for. I'll permit this (and reserve the right to, in the future, structure runs around this), but it has to be done in good faith, with my full knowledge -- so just message me and we'll sort it out. Failure to do this will not be looked upon kindly.
==The Setting==
Shadowrun is made of not sunshine and rainbows - I try to have things be internally consistent within the world, as I think that makes for a much more interesting run. I also appreciate characters that are internally consistent with the setting and, when I read your run post response, I can really get a good feel for your character.
==Consequences==
A good story has to have believable obstacles and consequences. I believe that there should always be a threat! If you fail, I will not be kind as there were ways to avoid that failure. Failure isn't the end, however, as I believe that failure is an important storytelling tool. If you mess up, you and/or your team can pull your bacon out of the fire by doubling down at the risk of making things more difficult in the future.

If it weren't for that shock of auburn hair and those luminescent green eyes, you'd never really remember her if you saw her on the street - which is how she likes it. While she is 'attractive' Sc4rl3tt goes to great lengths to downplay any distinctiveness (covering her hair, hiding behind sunglasses).

=Character Information=
===Summary===
'''Sc4rl3tt is very enthusiastic about the word "hacker".''' She tends to run at the word "technomancer" even if she is a very closeted one. She weaves a mask born of gentle Southern breeding, a thick accent, a polite refusal to answer questions as to how she does what she does. This mask helps to hide her absolute inability to connect with people on any sort of level - she does not seem to be an issue with animals, sprites, code, devices, hosts, IC, or [[Crypt3ch]].

===Goals===

*<s>To find somewhere she doesn't need to be anything but her. It's irksome to have to pick up and move when the villagers come out with their torches and pitchforks because you're wired differently.</s> [[Crypt3ch]] has done wonders in accepting her for all that she is and [[Purkinje]] has helped her to see that she isn't alone as a technomancer and that the tree is many branching, though all paths lead to the root.

*To deepen her connection with the Matrix, the "hum", and her abilities since it's the only place she's ever felt a 'high' or a 'low' and her hedonic treadmill didn't snap her back to 'normal' immediately after.
*To learn to rely on her own abilities rather than using a crutch (sprites) in the Matrix.
*To learn to drive and not die.
*To mother something other than an Abrams Lobster.

===Havenites Sc4rl3tt will not work with===

*[[K9]] - Sc4rl3tt doesn't like anyone that A) causes machinery to flip out if they are within a 50-yard radius, and B) actively searches out technomancers. The two did one job together, and Sc4rl3tt said to K9, "Bless your heart!" far too many times for it not to be understood there is a lot of bad blood there.
*[[Wild Star]] - Sc4rl3tt hates Lone Star with a fiery passion. Anyone working for them is the enemy; Sc4rl3tt would be much more likely to put a bullet in Wild Star's head than actually participate in a job with her.
*[[Hydro]] - Sc4rl3tt considers the idol to be far too emotional and completely unaware of the world around them. This is not someone Sc4rl3tt would trust to have her back.
*[[Lucky]] - They did one job together and that's all it took. Never again. And she won't forget that he took advantage of her while she was trying to hack for the team. 

==The Story So Far==

===On Being Thrown Aside by Corpsecs===
[REDACTED] was the youngest of three girls born to Mr. and Mrs. [REDACTED]. She was raised between Amarillo, Texas, and Atlanta, Georgia, as her father's business with LoneStar took him far and wide across the CAS. [REDACTED] did not develop like her sisters. She didn't talk, didn't make eye contact, had little ability to empathize, and seemed to have little concern with others around her. Before her parents learned that even the best psychologists have loose lips, [REDACTED] was diagnosed by several in early childhood, though the consensus of what was wrong with the girl varied greatly between them: some said it was antisocial personality disorder (sociopathy) while others plased her on the autism spectrum disorder. To have a daughter with such an affliction was an affront to the sensibilities of her parents and their desire to progress upward in society. [REDACTED] was heavily coached from early childhood on how a "Proper Southern Lady" behaves.

These facts were often instilled painfully, either physically or emotionally. For a normal girl, this would have been torture. For [REDACTED] it was simply the way of life and how people treated each other.

[REDACTED] emerged quickly after Crash 2.0. It was not discovered until she was approximately thirteen by her parents when the young girl was found playing with a unicorn visible only in AR - she called the creature Llamrei and it seemed very bound to the girl. Close inspection by an "expert" revealed that this was a sprite and young [REDACTED] had indeed brought it forth into the world.

A lot of money was thrown at the "problem" of [REDACTED]. But you can't fix what isn't broken.

At the age of 16, her father had had enough; [REDACTED] had been caught hacking the LoneStar host he worked at. Her father was determined to have the girl killed so they could "be rid of the stain on the family treee". Her mother finally pleaded with her father to let [REDACTED] go, telling him that she would place [REDACTED] in the hands of 'relatives in Europe'. The woman instead drove [REDACTED] far out on to a country road, kicked her out of the car, and told the sixteen year old to 'get by on her own and forget she had a family, because how could they ever accept someone like her? Or even love something like her?'.

[REDACTED] still has her SIN from those days, biding her time until she can make it clear to them that she did fine without them. A kind stranger took pity on the teenager and brought her in to a group home; here is where [REDACTED] picked up the moniker 'Scarlett' - a Southern red head who was more stubborn than a mule and determined she would never go without again. Scarlett soon became Sc4rl3tt, an homage to her preferred method of keeping food in her stomach.
 

===On Learning to Run Before She Could Walk===
Sc4rl3tt spent the better part of a decade running all over the South. She took small jobs here and there, never staying long enough to have people get attached and never revealing the true nature of her abilities. She always carried a broken deck in those days, just in case there were questions. She spent enough time in and around Atlanta that she developed contacts with [[David Harsmen]]. It was here she pulled off her most public heist to date: a breach of LoneStar's private employee files which she posted everywhere she could find. A lot of powerful men were outed for the disgusting creatures they were: adulterers, leechers, pedophiles, sadists, and abusers of the innocent. LoneStar did manage to get a lid on things and blamed middle management for the breach. As a result of her hack, over 100 people lost their jobs. Her father was unfortunately unaffected by the dump publicly, though there are some at LoneStar who have connected the hack years before by Sc4rl3tt with this one and are holding the information over her father's head.

Eventually, the heat in Atlanta got to be too much for the girl. [[David Harsmen]] offered to introduce her to a runner community in Seattle where she could find some work if she wanted.

===On Finding Roots===
Sc4rl3tt was taken in to the organization known as [[ShadowHaven]] with little fuss based on the recommendation of [[David Harsmen]]. Here she found a much different culture than the one she was used to: a very accepting attitude of her kind. She remains unwilling to be as free with the information on the Haven as some are but there are a select few who know her secret. It was also in Seattle that she found the other part of her soul: [[Crypt3ch]] and his pet Abrams Lobster Charlie. The old decker is the only person that has ever made Sc4rl3tt really feel anything in her entire life and he has accepted her the way she is. The pair live in a house on [[Bell-Red Street]] with Charlie. Both [[Crypt3ch]] and Charlie indulge Sc4rl3tt in her love of drawing (the only good thing that ever came out of her dealings with therapists), her need to boop snoots, and her desire to sink deeper into the "Hum".

A chance encounter with a drone one sunny afternoon sent Sc4rl3tt on a quest that lasted weeks. It was through this quest Sc4rl3tt met [[Purkinje]] and was shown that she didn't have do this technomancer thing alone. It was a very moving experience for her and the second most emotionally impactful thing that has ever happened to the woman (the first being [[Crypt3ch]] admitting he was in love with her).

==Narrative Significant Qualities==

===My Brain has a Lot of Crossed Wires (Antipathy + Trust Data, Not Lore + Reduced Taste)===
Sc4rl3tt has an odd brain, even for a technomancer. She has great trouble connecting with people emotionally (animals not so much) and does not seem to care about the well-being of her fellow runners for the most part. There are exceptions to this rule: [[Crypt3ch]] and [[Purkinje]]. Because she lacks the ability to really have emotions unless she works at it, she also doesn't trust her gut one bit and depends on facts to get the job done. She also blames her odd brain and too many brain wires crossed for her synesthesia (she sees numbers and letters in colors) and reduced sense of taste (don't ever tell [[Crypt3ch]] she can't really taste his cooking, ok?).
 

===Social Masks and the Darker Truth (High Charisma + Etiquette)===
Whatever she may think of her mother and sisters, they did teach Sc4rl3tt how to be a 'proper Southern Belle' in spite of her 'condition'. She weaves together a pretty convincing mask when she wants to but there are points where she simply goes "blank" - her face has no expression, her eyes seem dead, she speaks in a very measured tone. ''This is the real Sc4rl3tt.'' She does tend to blame this on a "pain editor" she technically does not have.
 

===Technomancy in All Its Closeted Glory===
Sc4rl3tt has slipped away from the traditional route of sprite herding and has learned to start depending on herself, following a new path greatly aided by [[Purkinje]] and [[Crypt3ch]]. She is still very hush hush about being a techno, but hasn't run away just because a few select people know. [[Crypt3ch]] has taught her his own form of just bashing things and throwing data spikes (though hers will never match in ferocity to his, as he is 'The Greatests Spike Slinger in the Emerald City!'). [[Purkinje]] has introduced her to those that think like her and taught her she doesn't have to do this alone.

ShadowHaven Reloaded:Madman's Guide to Gear

2020-09-15T04:58:24Z

SedatedAlice: Reverted edits by KurczdMadMan (talk) to last revision by Teksura

=Introduction=
There is so much gear available in Shadowrun, it’s hard to know what to start with. This guide is intended for new players who are just overwhelmed by the number of choices involved in starting a character, and you don’t want to read all… like…. 10,000 pages of gear descriptions. In order to help the greatest number of characters, this guide not only gives basic gear recommendations, but 3 levels of gear recommendations: minimum, recommended, and exceeding. This is to help characters like mages who start with very little nuyen, characters with an average amount of nuyen, and characters who have a bit of nuyen leftover at CharGen, but need to spend a little more to get below the 5,000 nuyen point.

Now, since this is intended for new players, I will be explaining the reasoning for my gear choices. The recommendations are listed at the beginning of each section, so you can skip the Why sections if you want, but if you’re a new player, they are a good read. I will also point out that you can spend up to 10 karma to get additional nuyen at a rate of 1 karma > 2,000¥. For those characters at Resources E, getting only 6,000¥, you will need to do this, as 6,000¥ is not even enough to purchase a decent Fake SIN, which you need to… you know. Buy food. A house. Y’know, unnecessary stuff that is nice to have.

So, without further ado, Here is the MadMan’s guide!

=Start with your Identity=

===Minimum===
(9,300¥ with 3 licenses)

R3 Fake SIN with Licenses to cover your “cover story” (Security Spider for a Decker, Bounty Hunter for a street sam, etc.), obvious restricted items (Restricted Augmentations, etc.), Firearms (if your character is using firearms), Armor (if you have restricted armor that you are going to wear around) and, if awakened, a license for their magic.

===Recommended===
(+3,100¥)

Same thing but R4. R4 is the max you can get at CharGen due to availability limits. This is true both for Standard and Prime generation.

===Exceeding===
You can’t get an R5, so the only way to exceed in this area is to get another SIN. This can be useful as you can run one SIN as your lifestyle and the other as your “running SIN” but is not necessary. It can also be useful for Face (social) characters as having one identity as a doctor can help you get by in a hospital, and then another as an OSHA inspector can get you into a factory. Ask your GM if they would allow this to aid in social tests, but realistically, it should.

===Why=== A default character is SINless, meaning they have no legal identity. Of course, Big Brother doesn’t like this, so a SIN is required for things like buying food. So, if your character is SINless, you’re SOL, right? Well, this is where Fake SINs enter. Think of it like a spoofed ID. You need one to survive. Now, the way a SIN works is when your SIN gets scanned, the scanner rolls 2x its device rating, limited by its Device rating, with a threshold equal to your SIN. For example, if you get stopped by Knight Errant and they want to check your SIN, a KE hand scanner would have about a device rating of 3. So, it would roll 6 dice, and could count up to 3 hits. If your SIN was a rating 4, then the KE scanner would not be able to identify your SIN as fake. If you have a rating 3, it *could* tie. In the event of a tie, it doesn’t “burn” (or mark it as fake making it now unusable) the SIN, but says it is questionable. They may run the SIN again, or the person scanning may look at the details with more scrutiny. You shouldn’t really run into an R4 scanner unless you are going to a border crossing or something similar, so an R4 SIN should be able to get you almost all places you need to go without question.

Licenses also go on Fake SINs. Licenses are basically your right to have restricted items or restricted… y’know, existence (in the case of mages and technomancers). Licenses are added as a plugin to SINs and must be at the same rating as the Fake SIN. You cannot get licences for forbidden items. Depending on your GM, you might need a License for every restricted item or for classes of items. Consult your GM for specifics on what licenses you would need.

“But wait! I have a SINner quality! I don’t need a fake SIN.” Yes, you do. You’re out on a run, and a KE officer catches your SIN. He checks it out and, guess what’s on it? Your real name. Your real family. Your real home. Your real bank account. Get a Fake. Protecto yourself.

=Armor=

I did not create this particular [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mf9mSoupCtUqCEINmRgooJ29sENpUUELAdEzKT5YOno/edit?usp=drivesdk guide], however it is quite thorough in its descriptions of firearms and armor. (Thanks Jag!)

===Minimum===

(1,000¥)
An armor jacket

===Recommended===
An armor jacket, and armor accessories (have a +X armor rating) to a total of your STR. YNT Softweave. Non Conductivity Rating 4, Chemical Protection Rating 4. Gas Mask installed in ballistic mask (which should be your first armor accessory purchased)

===Exceeding===
Add more mods. Consider high fashion armors, including the Sleeping Tiger which is good for combat, sneaking, and social situations.

===Why===
Armor is the lifeblood of a runner. It has two major functions. First, whenever you take damage you roll (Armor - AP of attack, minimum 0) + Body and reduce damage by hits. So, the higher your armor, the less damage you take. It also does the secondary effect of converting Physical (will kill you) damage to Stun (will only knock you out) damage if it is high enough. This is done by comparing (Armor-AP of attack) against the DV of the attack. So if you are wearing an armor jacket (Armor 12), and get hit by a shotgun doing 11 damage, with an AP of -2, then you would compare 12-2 (10) against the DV of 11. Since the DV is higher than the modified armor, you would take physical damage. However, if you wore a ballistic mask as well (+2 armor accessory), then you would have 14 armor. 14-2 (12) is greater than 11, so it would only do stun damage. The armor jacket is the best bang-for-buck basic armor you can get as far as raw armor rating. Hence why it’s great for starting out.

As for the armor accessories, here’s how encumbrance works in Shadowrun: armors don’t stack. So you can’t wear 3 armor jackets and get 36 armor. Instead, you wear a basic armor and then you can add armor accessories. Armor accessories have an armor rating of +X. Some armors have an armor rating of X/+X. These can be worn as standard armors, getting the first rating, or as an accessory, gaining the second rating. Now, you are able to wear accessories to get bonus to your armor rating as you have augmented STR without taking a penalty. After you have reached that point, for every 2 *full* points of armor accessories above that, you take -1 Agility and -1 Reaction. This is a lot to give up for some armor. However, the requirement that it be 2 *full* points, means that you can get only *1* point above your augmented strength without taking penalties. This means that even a Str 1 character should be able to take a Ballistic Mask.

As for the armor mods, electricity and toxins are the most common “elemental” types of damage you will run into. Fire is uncommon, and cold is very rare. The gas mask gives you immunity to inhalation toxins, but must be activated and only works for one hour. It is usually assumed you have your gas mask active before you go into a combat situation unless your GM is mean or he has said to you that he is not assuming competence. Chemical protection can defend against contact vector toxins. Now, understand this as well, if a toxin has multiple vectors, or means of affecting you, you get the lowest defense of these vectors. For example, Pepper Punch is a Contact, Inhalation vector. So although you are immune to it via your gas mask, you are not immune to contact and will have to roll your resistance.

=Weapons=

I did not create this particular [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mf9mSoupCtUqCEINmRgooJ29sENpUUELAdEzKT5YOno/edit?usp=drivesdk guide], however it is quite thorough in its descriptions of firearms and armor. (Thanks, Jag!)

===Minimum===
A sidearm of some form. If you have taken Automatics as a skill, a machine pistol. Steyr TMP and Ares Crusader are my favorites. If you have taken Pistols, a light or heavy pistol. Light pistols, check out the Ares LIght Fire 75. Heavy? Savalette Guardian. Ignore holdouts. Light pistols are better holdouts. Don’t forget to get at least 2 Spare Clips (Speed reloader for revolvers) If you have unarmed but low strength, a Shock Glove. If you have a melee skill, a melee weapon of your choice. . It’s best to add them as “mods” if you are using chummer because it gives you better tracking options in Career mode.

===Recommended===
A power firearm. Something to lay the hurt. An assault rifle, shotgun, sniper rifle. If you only have Pistols, a Heavy Pistol with good DV. Again, don’t forget some Spare Clips.

===Exceeding===
Mod your weapon(s). Some highly recommended items are an external smartgun (if it does not have a smartgun system and you have smartlink either in ware or other gear), Improved Range Finder (used with smartgun system), Gas Vent 3 system (especially for low strength characters and those using automatics), sling (for big guns), Concealed Quick-Draw Holster (for sidearms), and personalized grip (for every for every weapon). Don’t forget to add extra clips!

===Why===
The why on each weapon is explained more clearly in the guide above. Having a sidearm is having an easily concealed weapon that you can smuggle places that don’t want you to have them (hence the concealed quick draw holster as well). But they won’t do a lot against some heavy armored CorpSec or a HTR (High Threat Response) team. Hence the big gun. You might need one of those if your role is different, like a mage or decker, as there are other ways you can contribute to the team besides just laying on hurt.

=Ammunition=

===Minimum===
2 types of ammo. One to kill (Explosive or APDS) and one to stun (Gel or Stick and Shock). Get enough of each to fill two clips for each weapon you have.

===Recommended===
Basically, the same as minimum. Plus, if you have a grenade launcher (and the heavy weapons skill) or the throwing weapons skill, get some grenades. Grenades are great utility items. High Explosive has a larger blast radius and does more damage, on average, than a Frag Grenade, due to its larger radius and better AP. Other fun grenades: smokebomb, thermal smoke, smoke, gas with chosen toxins (neurostun is nice), and flashbangs. Again, try to have some lethal and some non-lethal. Another fun method is to get paint grenades and then put DMSO (which turns a non-contact vector toxin into a contact vector toxin) with your chosen toxin.

===Exceeding===
Just… don’t exceed in ammunition. It’s easy to restock between runs. That should be plenty.

===Why===
“My character is a stone cold killer. I don’t need a stunning thing.” There are two reasons this doesn’t work. First, the response from your opposition will escalate with how much you escalate things. If you use APDS, they will now feel like their lives are on the line. Think of the difference IRL when someone tries to punch a cop versus when they pull a gun on the cop. This is true in the Shadowrun universe as well, with a few exceptions (Red Samurai are a notable exception that will try to kill you outright). The second reason is: what happens if you are performing an extraction on an unwilling target? You need to knock them out.

APDS is great against high armor targets, and explosives against low. I tend to favor APDS, but Explosive has higher average damage.

Gel rounds and Stick n Shock have the same average damage (after comparing APDS and DV), but Stick and Shock have the added benefit of dealing electrical damage (thus affecting their initiative and inflicting -1 on their actions). SnS also do physical damage against vehicles while gel rounds do not. For these reasons, I tend to favor SnS.

=Direct Neural Interface=

Minimum: Have one. I’m not going to put down what gear is the minimum I recommend. Here are the various methods that you can get a DNI with: Trodes, Trode Patch, Datajack, Datajack Plus. The first two are gear and do not require essence. The second two are cyberware and will require essence. Check with your GM if the Datajack plus will be beneficial for you before taking it.

Why: A direct neural interface allows you to issue mental commands to your gear. When combined with a device with a sim module, it can also give you an AR overlay without taking up valuable capacity in vision and hearing devices. It allows you to send messages back and forth with your team and communicate silently while your Face deals with the Johnson. Without a DNI, you have to do very conspicuous typing. And at 70 nuyen for a set of trodes, there is very little reason you should not have one.

=Initiative=

===Minimum===
Have a method to increase initiative. For non-combat characters, shoot for high teens, preferably 21+ on average. For combat oriented characters, shoot for 31+ on average. This is not always possible, but here are a few methods that can increase your initiative. For reference, here are the ShadowHaven rules on stacking initiative. These are pretty much RAW, but may contain a few variances. It also lists the many methods that you can use to increase initiative, so I won’t bother listing them here. Drugs that boost initiative include: Accelerator (dangerous), Cram, Jazz and Kamikaze.

===Why===
Again, this is not a minimum kind of thing. Methods will vary from character to character. Here’s the deal, combat is very fast in Shadowrun. A high initiative score can mean more than one turn in each combat turn. Combat turns are separated into initiative passes. Everyone gets a turn on the first initiative pass in descending order of initiative. After everyone has had a turn, all scores are reduced by 10, and then anyone with an initiative greater than 0 gets to go again. This is repeated until no one has a chance to go. This means an initiative of 11 gets you two turns, 21 gets you 3, 31 gets you 4, etc. Hopefully, you can see how this is extremely beneficial.

=Buy a House=

===Minimum===
Advanced lifestyle Low with comforts increased to 3. Get public transportation for your city if you don’t have a vehicle.

===Recommended===
Medium Lifestyle. Public transport if needed.

===Exceeding===
High. Don’t get higher than that, since luxury will be impossible to maintain. If you’re this high, I hope you have at least a Dodge Scoot to get to meets.

===Why===
So, to understand my recommendations, let’s understand lifestyle damage. At the beginning of each run, you take 6S fatigue damage (resisted by Bod+Will), representing how hard it is to live in the 6th world. You can mitigate this, however, by making yourself a comfortable lifestyle. Each lifestyle has a set level of “comforts.” For each level of comforts, you take 2S less fatigue damage. A low lifestyle has a default comforts level of 2. By using advanced lifestyle, you can increase it to 3 for a total extra cost of only 200¥. Medium has a default level of 3. While you don’t need to do an advanced lifestyle, I recommend it. Advanced lifestyles have a lot more options and many of them are free.

Now, another thing to consider is how much money you get from each lifestyle. Starting nuyen is whatever you have leftover from CharGen (up to 5,000¥) and an amount determined by lifestyle. For low, you get 3d6*60, for an average of about 600 nuyen. Medium gets you 4d6*100, for an average of 1400¥. High lifestyle gets 5d6*500 nuyen, averaging around 8,500 nuyen, the highest return on investment for these lifestyles. Well, on average.

=Defensive Drugs=

===Minimum===
Get 3 doses each of Guts and Ondanstron, 2 R6 Stim Patchs, a Trauma Patch

===Why===
There are certain status effects that may occur that feel like a “You Lose” button. This is fun when used against enemies, but whatever you can do, so can your enemies. Fear is one such effect. If you fail, you must run away or cower for an extended period. With how fast and deadly combat is, even something as small as a few combat turns (remember the multiple initiative pass, thing?) can be very deadly. Guts makes you immune to fear. So, keep it in your pocket in case you need it.

Nausea is also a pain. It’s a catch-all status effect that means a large amount of discomfort, enough to stop you from acting, often for minutes. Note that a single minute is 20 combat turns. So, yeah. This drug gives you bonuses on your resistance test, as well as increases your Willpower for the purpose of resisting nausea, which is incredibly important.

Stim Patches temporarily (1 hour) heal stun damage.

Even if you’re running a character that is anti-drug, consider these prescription drugs. For what ailment? Not dying.

=Misc. Items=

===Minimums===
A few small items that may or may not benefit you depending on the run. The goal of these items is to have them on hand in case you need them on the spot, but most of these can be picked up real fast if you don’t have them. A silver and 2-3 standard credsticks. A tag eraser.

===Recommended===
Contacts and glasses with various vision mods. Earbuds with various hearing mods. A R6 Medkit (that you keep at home or in a vehicle, lugging it around is not the best idea as this is the size of a large duffel) An auto injector with a savior medkit inside it and a biomonitor to watch your vitals so it knows when to trigger the auto injector. Some method of transporting electronics without being tracked (R6 directional jammer, a Body Bag armor with R6 Universal Mirror Material, faraday pocket armor mod for small electronics)

===Exceeding===
Get a vehicle with the basic “anonymous package” mods: Spoof chips, morphing license plate, and gridlink override. Also a smuggling compartment is nice. Gecko gloves. Plasteel restraints.

===Introduction===

'''PLEASE NOTE: The roleplay safety tools addressed here are for use in any roleplay area on the ShadowHaven, including a GM's table and any Haven Discord Channel labeled as 'IC'. They are not to be used in an out of character situation.'''

Shadowrun is a dark setting that explores a lot of gritty themes, including sexual and violent themes, that not everyone will be comfortable with. While we want to have the freedom to explore these themes in our shared world, we do not want to exclude anyone or make them uncomfortable. For this reason, ShadowHaven is implementing a number of safety tools that can be used by GMs, players, and viewers to make sure that this is a Living Community that all of us can enjoy.

===Enforcement of Safety Tools on the ShadowHaven===

If a safety tool is played and is given no heed, please reach out to moderation so that they can help to ensure that these tools are used. In an ideal world, this would not be necessary, but it may become so. Our moderation staff is here to ensure that ''you'' are comfortable with playing here on the ShadowHaven. If at any time you are uncomfortable, then please reach out to @moderation on Discord, or @Ombuds and Advocates.

===The X-Card===

The X-card is a simple tool that we have been using for a long time on the Haven. At any point, any person involved in the run (meaning GM, player or listener) can message or say “X” or in any way communicate “X” to the GM. The GM is then responsible for stopping the scene at that moment. A break is taken and the item being X-carded is either skipped over or edited out. No explanation need be given, but if the person playing the card wishes to share, they may. At times, it may be difficult to understand what was X-carded. If this occurs, it is up to the person that played the card if they want to share, otherwise the GM will ret-con or edit parts or the entirety of a scene.

[[The X-Card: A Guide for ShadowHaven GMs|Before each run, GMs should introduce this tool using language similar to the sample script listed here, or any script that introduces all elements of the use of the X-card.]]

===The Consent Flower/Streetlight System===

This is a new one for the Haven, but will help us to run better games for everyone involved. The consent flower uses three colors: Green, Yellow and Red, which has led to the nickname “Streetlight system”. However, it is much more. On top of being a way to say “no, I don’t like that,” it is also a way to say, “I do like that,” or “I want more of that.” Each of the three colors indicates varying levels of consent:

*Green: I am okay with the current scene and would be okay with pushing this scene farther. This does ''not'' mean a scene ''has'' to be pushed further, only that the person is okay with it and would like it to happen if everyone else at the table is comfortable with it..
*Yellow: I am okay with the current scene, but do not desire it to be pushed beyond where it is now.
*Red: The current scene is making me uncomfortable. Please pull it back a bit or skip it.

GMs should be using this at their table to ensure the comfort levels of their players, especially when topics come up that are dark or gritty in nature. A GM, Player, Thematics member, moderator, ombud or Listener can play a Consent card at any time by messaging the person they wish to address. This can be done in a whisper, on Discord, or by voice. Any person that receives one of these cards is expected to immediately follow the level of consent indicated.

GMs who can are encouraged to have a Red, Yellow and Green deck that they or a player can play. Instructions should be given to players on how this can be done anonymously, by hovering over the deck, selecting the card that pops up and dragging that card to the table.

===Lines, Background Only and Veils===

Another new tool we are bringing online is Lines, Background and Veils. Shadowhaven is a bit limited since we do not have the traditional session zero where the tone of a setting is pre-negotiated. We modify the existing line and veil system and add Background Only.

*Line - A line is something that we do not wish to explore at all in our setting. For example, when we set trafficking of minors as a line, that is something that we don’t explore here and it doesn’t exist on Shadowhaven.
*Veil - A veil is a "pan away" or "fade to black" moment. When we veil something, we're making it a part of the story, but keeping it out of the spotlight. Think of it as a way to still deal with certain themes while avoiding having to describe them in graphic detail. For example, we can veil torture scenes and just say the event happened and have our characters react to it but we don’t need to cover the details of the torture.
*Background Only - Background Only content is allowed to be in character backstories and in the setup to a run, but the players should not be actively engaged with the content. For example, trafficking of adults is allowed in the context of a rescue run or a character background. However, it would indicate a wish not to directly be involved in the activity. For example, the rounding up of women in the barrens or the protecting of a truck moving metahumans would not be allowed.

Players are highly encouraged to list their personal Lines, Background Only and Veils on their wikipages.

====Global Lines, Background Only and Veils====

Shadowhaven sets some content as global for the whole LC.

*Lines: Trafficking of Minors, in-scene instances of sexual assault
*Veil: Prostitution, torture, overly gruesome kill descriptions
*Background Only: Mass Murder, Genocide, Trafficking of Adults

=Faction Information=
===Summary===
The largest gang in the Ork Underground and one of the main pillars of the many trog gangs in Seattle; the Skraacha (Or'zet for Scorchers) are a militant ork gang. They are the de-facto law enforcement and neighborhood watch of the OU, despite Renraku Neo-PD being the official police force. The people of OU have an overwhelmingly positive image of the Skraacha. The gang act as the guardians of OU and is fiercely devoted to the protection of the "ork people". Their paramilitary nature imparts purpose and discipline among the many jobless and angry ork kids who want to vent their anger at an enemy. Skraacha trains them and points them at Humanis. The Skraacha maintain good relations with pro-metahuman organizations like Mother of Metahumans as well as other trog gangs and policlubs like Sons of Sauron. The Skraacha train in their signature martial art "Rutra" which is a mish-mash of various techniques that have been optimized to work best with trog bulkiness and stength.

The Skraacha are also a criminal enterprise. The Skraacha have their paws deep in smuggling operations, especially illegal weapons since the nature of the OU allow them to transport contraband easily without being intercepted by KE. They are also involved in robberies and theft against targets they deem as enemies of the ork people.

===Goals===
* Protect the ork and troll people of the Underground.
* Defend the Ork Underground.
* Oppose Humanis and anti-goblinoid organizations.
* Expand their smuggling operations.
* Keep the militia strong and well supplied.

==The Story So Far==

===[[Blood, Sweat. . .and Murder?]]: The Fall of Andres Guillermo Gutierrez===

Andres Gutierrez was on his way up in the world. He was a respected middle manager for Stuffer Shack. He had long used his abilities as a blood mage to increase his position and grant him power. The only flaw he had was being a Type I Diabetic; he hated the pump he had to wear constantly and was embarassed if anyone found out about it. Once his newest promotion came across the wire, he decided enough was enough and applied for a consultation with Genetique in Los Angeles (corporate synergy and all that, plus he got a discount). He flew to LA for the procedure of having an auto injector implanted.

Things got fuzzy after that. There were days he couldn't remember. He remembered a sense of glee when ''something'' realized his powers.

Blood became the most important thing in his life. It was all he could think about - how to get it, how to use it, how to make it more profitable - but he got the feeling he was being watched by his superiors in Aztlan. He felt this undeniable sensation to flee and so he did; it took all of his connections and favors but he got himself transferred to Seattle of all places.

He began to more thoroughly explore himself and what he was capable of.

Now, he's just a shell of a man, clinging desperately to the words he can still force out - "I don't know who I am."
===[[Cinnamon Buns and Cereal Killers]]: The Sad Tale of Orson Cordova===
Orson Cordova was just a man. True, before the world fell apart in ‘64, he could touch the Matrix in ways no one could ever explain. Through his data jack he experienced a world that was beyond words. He watched as the great ones took down the only place he’d ever felt comfortable. When the Matrix had finally come back, he broke. The closeness he had was gone. Many times he considered eating the end of his trusty Colt, but he was a coward. And so, he did what he could - bought an Azzie deck and bartered out his services while he drank himself to sleep each night. Drugs sometimes too. Always alone, always looking for ways to get back what he’d had.

One day, something in the Matrix touched him. It took almost no convincing to get Cordova to go to El Paso.

Things got blurry after that. He remembered the faces of others, passing like shadows in a kind of nightmarish fugue state. He remembered blood, lots of blood, but not who’s blood. He remembered the throbbing feeling that something wasn’t right. He remembered less and less.

Sometimes when people asked him who he was, he didn’t know what to say.

==Summary==

Camela Konig, an exec with [[Saeder-Krupp]], finds evidence of [[Usagi]] in Seattle after his involvement in [[From Lead to Gold|the death of a dragon.]] Curious! He was supposed to sell secrets of bioware to S-K from Renraku years ago? It was about time he made good on his promise by breaking into a black site. This was worth his life, his daughter's life, his partner's life, the life of the Shadow Haven - right?
==Background==

Once upon a time, a man by the name of Soji Haijime was accused of stealing bioware technology from [[Renraku]]. While innocent of the crime, he was forced to run or face death at the hands of his employer. He chose to run and try and put his past behind him.

At the time, a Sader-Krup mid tier wage slave came across details of an upcoming corporate espionage that no one at [[Saeder-Krupp]] had actually planned. It was obvious to her that this was a plant of some kind; it wasn't large enough for anyone else to even notice then. Her name was Camela Konig.

[[From Lead to Gold|The events that lead to the death of a Corporate Court Dragon in Detroit]] caugh Camela's eye some years later as it was all anyone could talk about for a week or more. The intervening time had been kind to Konig - she'd gone from a middle manager to the Director of Biotech Research for S-K in North America. This was definitely not the corp's area of expertise and Konig had labored hard and long for the division to be put into existence. Curious as always, Konig took a deeper look at what was pretty obviously a Runner hit against Ares: while disguised, the mannerisms were still there. She knew that man from somewhere - and she now had leverage to get him to do what she wished.

One does not simply help murder a Dragon and get away with it scott free, you see.
==The Meet==

Konig managed to make enough racket about trying to locate a runner in [[Madame Butterfly]]'s club to catch the fixer's attention. It didn't take much for Konig to name drop and offer the fixer a photo of a man on the run from Renraku. Madame Butterfly reached out quickly to [[Usagi]] once she realized that this is who Konig was looking for. She cautioned Usagi to be cautious, as Konig had inferred she had all the evidence she needed to destroy Usagi should she wish. Usagi agreed to meet with Konig - he called [[Tanuki]] to come with him just in case. The pair drove to the location provided in the Redmond Barrens to an apartment building that was under construction. Tanuki was able to point out all of the updated cameras and sensors in and around the building to Usagi. Ultimately, Usagi decided to meet with Konig alone as per her instructions.

The pair finally met face to face in a small apartment living room in the back of the building. Konig laid out her position: either Usagi was going to make good on the corporate espionage he'd been accused of many years ago or she would simply tell the Corporate Court where to find him and everyone that had ever spoken to him. This was on top of dropping his location on Renraku. She'd be rewarded either way but it was apparent she'd much rather have Usagi provide her with information from Renraku. To further motivate him, she offered him one thing: the original files that had connected him to corporate espionage in S-K's files. While it would do nothing to get the heat off him over the Ares incident, it would at least not connect the man who fled Renraku with the man who blew up a dragon.

Usagi agreed to her terms. Konig gave him vague instructions on what she wanted. There was a Renraku black sight somewhere in Seattle doing bioware research. She wanted the research notes and the prototype.

Understanding now what they might lack, Usagi and Tanuki put together a runner team in hopes to find this black site and infiltrate it succesfully. Thankfully, [[Jenny Glitz]] and [[Riot]] answered the call.
==The Plan==

Step 1 was finding the black site in the first place. This took several days, but the team finally ascertained through contacts, research, and good old fashioned driving about that it was underground, protected in the abandoned tunnels of the Seattle Underground. It seemed Renraku had taken advantage of an apartment building right over the top of it and used it to transport workers and equipment down to the lab below. Some other digging led the team to find a second entrance down about a kilometer away - it seems the corp had dug down to create an entrance into the underground tunnels to allow for larger vehicles to move in an out as needed. The entrance was disguised as part of a warehouse.

Step 2 was to find a way in. It seemed that there was a delivery van dropping off what looked to be body bags at the Apartment building entrance. The logo on the side of the van proclaimed this to be part of 'Carson's Department of Human Resources'. Some quick matrix searching (and watching Jenny stomp all over a low level host) and the runners found out that Carson's Department of Human Resources often made deliveries from Carson's Discount Funeral Services to the Renraku shell company. They simply added their name to this list, the total shipment they would be taking in, and got themselves a van. They intended to go in as corpses with Jenny driving them in. The more they dug into what was being sent down, the more apparent it was they were most likely bringing back a prototype in a dead body.

Step 3 was to pray really hard that everything went right.

Madame Butterfly called Usagi to give him a warning - a known member of the Red Samurai was in town. He needed to be careful.
==The Run==

Jenny Glitz disguised herself as a delivery driver and went to the morgue where she picked up one body. The runners would use this to pass inspection at the first check point. The manifest for the delivery was for 4 bodies, so the other three runners disguised themselves in body bags in the back of the van. It was a miracle but they managed to make into the tunnels with little fuss.

Once at the black site, Jenny took the actual body through the building to the morgue in order to get a lay of the land. She managed to find one spot in the morgue to get in and get a data tap - it was as they had feared, this was an offline, faraday caged host. She stuck a data top on the camera feed and did as much as she could to not alert the system and get any information she could. The team decided that with the small staff, a definite sag in the on site security, and a divide and conquer strategy, they could get in as corpses and do a smash and grab. The only thing that stood between them and the prototype was a room full of scanners that led from the front to the back of the lab.

Jenny managed to get a guard help her move all the bodies of her team mates at once into the room. She positioned Riot close to him, and right as the sensors were alerting on the presence of live bodies, Riot took out the man. The team reacted swiftly - Usagi bounded down the hall to take care of the guards running at them, Tanuki's steel lynx and Riot turned to defend the guards coming from the other side. Jenny tried to get out of the way and get them into the lab where the prototype was hidden.

They met more opposition than they bargained for. A napalm wall from Riot managed to keep them from being over run but it was becoming apparent that something had to change quickly or the guards yelling 'geek the mage!' were going to be the least of their problems.

A well timed grenade from Tanuki saved the day. The team managed to get in to the prototype and forced the scientist they found to help them get all the research as well. They were working against the clock, knowing full well that the red samurai team was on its way. Somehow they managed to get everything in the van and get the hell out of the area.
==Aftermath==

it couldn't have been any closer of a call than if they had planned it that way. Just as Tanuki made it back to the surface, all hell was breaking out a kilometer away. Red Samurai were frantically sweeping the site, every drone and vehicle Renraku could muster was patrolling the area, but somehow, Tanuki kept his cool and got the team the hell out of dodge. Anxious to get rid of their cargo, they contacted Konig who gave them directions for where to meet.

The exchange was short and sweet. Usagi handed over the files and showed Konig the body with the prototype in it. Konig handed him the S-K files she'd promised (Jenny verified they were in fact the orginals). The team was directed to where to drop the body.

Hopefully it would be okay from now on.

Hopefully.

==Summary==

==Background==

Once upon a time, a man by the name of Soji Haijime was accused of stealing bioware technology from [[Renraku]]. While innocent of the crime, he was forced to run or face death at the hands of his employer. He chose to run and try and put his past behind him.

At the time, a Sader-Krup mid tier wage slave came across details of an upcoming corporate espionage that no one at [[Saeder-Krupp]] had actually planned. It was obvious to her that this was a plant of some kind; it wasn't large enough for anyone else to even notice then. Her name was Camela Konig.

[[From Lead to Gold|The events that lead to the death of a Corporate Court Dragon in Detroit]] caugh Camela's eye some years later as it was all anyone could talk about for a week or more. The intervening time had been kind to Konig - she'd gone from a middle manager to the Director of Biotech Research for S-K in North America. This was definitely not the corp's area of expertise and Konig had labored hard and long for the division to be put into existence. Curious as always, Konig took a deeper look at what was pretty obviously a Runner hit against Ares: while disguised, the mannerisms were still there. She knew that man from somewhere - and she now had leverage to get him to do what she wished.

One does not simply help murder a Dragon and get away with it scott free, you see.
==The Meet==

Konig managed to make enough racket about trying to locate a runner in [[Madame Butterfly]]'s club to catch the fixer's attention. It didn't take much for Konig to name drop and offer the fixer a photo of a man on the run from Renraku. Madame Butterfly reached out quickly to [[Usagi]] once she realized that this is who Konig was looking for. She cautioned Usagi to be cautious, as Konig had inferred she had all the evidence she needed to destroy Usagi should she wish. Usagi agreed to meet with Konig - he called [[Tanuki]] to come with him just in case. The pair drove to the location provided in the Redmond Barrens to an apartment building that was under construction. Tanuki was able to point out all of the updated cameras and sensors in and around the building to Usagi. Ultimately, Usagi decided to meet with Konig alone as per her instructions.

}}
==Description==
Isn't it strange how, in such a large city, many of the runners that congregate in elite groups like ShadowHaven just ''happen'' to live near each other, with no planned intent? 
That's what Bell-Red St, in Bellevue is. ''Somehow'', a large proportion of the Haven community lives on that street, or near it. It's uncanny.

Most people in the area have no idea what makes their streets safe at night, why very little of the chaos of Touristville bleeds into the district. For that safety, they tend to put up with the oddities that some of their neighbors present. Like the raging parties at that poolhouse, the shambling people who look ''far'' more dead than alive, or the forest that just sprang up in one of the properties down the street.

==Distinctive Features==
This is for a more detailed description, highlighting specific features using Level 3 sub-headers where reasonably sensible.

There are sidewalks, and a dog park within walking distance.
==Residents==
===The Wolf House===
'''[[Deimos]]''', '''[[Kani]]''' and '''[[Purkinje]]''' own two neighboring addresses on this street, which contains a modern three storey home, a futuristic barn, and what is quickly becoming a dense forest. 
It is known as the wolf house, as hidden amongst the trees is a pack of wolves owned by the three runners, wolves who are often heard on cloudless nights, howling at the moon.
===Moth===
'''[[Moth]]''' lives in a pretty two-story house several blocks down from The Wolf House, and a few doors and across the street from Boom Poom and Tupelo. There is a beautiful swimming pool in the backyard. Her house is beautifully decorated in white, black, and silver colors in the interior, and the layout is designed to support entertaining. Lots of comfortable seating. An excellent sound system. [[Dandy]] visits frequently. His truck is a common sight in the driveway. Her bodyguard [[Heavy Metal]] also makes regular visits, and is often patrolling the neighborhood on his motorcycle.

[[Moth]] has moved in with her boyfriend in Snohomish, but maintains this house for entertainment purposes. [[Blume]] lives there now, maintaining the house and helping to prepare it for any parties or other needs for the property that Moth might have.

===ウサギの避難所 (Usagi no Hinansho/Hare's Refuge)===
A two story brownstone style house, narrow and possessed of a quiet if old fashioned sort of dignity. '''[[Usagi]]''' lives here with his foster daughter, Abigail Shipton. The home has a small observatory attic over the top floor, a balcony extending over the back yard, and a modest amount of garden and yard space.
===Tanuki and Rambozo===
At the end of one end of the street that is closer to the rest of Bellevue is Al's Garage. The sounds of the garage indicate that it is in fact a business still in use. Above it, accessible by a set of wooden stairs kept in reasonably good repair, is an apartment above the old time white-brick garage, is the apartment of [[Tanuki]] and [[Rambozo The Clown|Rambozo.]]

It is a four room apartment, complete with a front room, a kitchen/dining space, a bedroom and a bathroom. The Ikea-style furniture is not particularly notable, but comfortable. There is large blackout shades over the windows, an artifact of before [[Tanuki]] had his geneware. The coffee table has an odd piece hanging over it in chains; a Ares VTOL engine, a Christmas gift from [[Purkinje]]. [[Rambozo The Clown|Rambozo]]'s robot maid, Lydia, busies herself with various tasks left by the perhaps less than clean men. Most of the apartment's surfaces and blank spaces are filled with various tinkering clutter from the rigger, and various effects from the clown. Despite their back and forth about the clutter, both of them knows where everything is. There's been discussion about a pet, and perhaps a bigger place on the street.

===The Very Ordinary Home Do Not Disturb===
'''[[Crypt3ch]]''' and '''[[Sc4rl3tt]]''' live in a medium-sized one-story home in the middle of it all. The house is largely nondescript with drones regularly maintaining the property. Conveniently high hedge walls provide enough privacy for the decker and technomancer to work from home. Were it not for Charlie, Crypt3ch's pet Abrams Lobster who can be seen frolicking around the property from time to time, it would be hard to tell anyone lived there at all. Recently, they have bought up the lot next door and put in a dense forested area surrounded by privacy hedges. Occasionally, a howl can be heard from the wooded area - most likely the frolicking of [[Sc4rl3tt]]'s pet Cerberus pup, Maddy.

===Boom Poom and Tupelo===
[[The Tupelo Mississippi Flash|'''Tupelo''']] and [[Boom Poom|'''Boom Poom''']] live together in small, one story home, closest to Moth's a few doors down and across the street. The entire house is wheelchair accessible to suit Tupelo's needs. The house on the inside is entirely decorated with music and hockey memorabilia with one room as a dedicated music room containing all of the instruments Tupelo owns and uses in any given performance. There is also a hanging fixture in their living room of a decommissioned missile taken as a souvenir from a run they were on where they both nearly died.
===Twitch===
[[Twitch]] was convinced to look at a house on Bell-Red when he realized Dip was going to get big enough to require a yard. Deimos was kind enough to point out there was a house available on the street. He has ended up situated only a couple doors down from the Wolfhouse and across the street from Usagi.

The two-story, 3 bedroom house is sparsely furnished with low-end furniture, having basically taken the furniture from his apartment and moved it over. The living room does, however, have a state of the art trid system.

Twitch is currently looking for a roommate.

==The Story So Far==

===[[Blood, Sweat. . .and Murder?]]: The Fall of Andres Guillermo Gutierrez===

Andres Gutierrez was on his way up in the world. He was a respected middle manager for Stuffer Shack. He had long used his abilities as a blood mage to increase his position and grant him power. The only flaw he had was being a Type I Diabetic; he hated the pump he had to wear constantly and was embarassed if anyone found out about it. Once his newest promotion came across the wire, he decided enough was enough and applied for a consultation with Genetique in Los Angeles (corporate synergy and all that, plus he got a discount). He flew to LA for the procedure of having an auto injector implanted.

Things got fuzzy after that. There were days he couldn't remember. He remembered a sense of glee when ''something'' realized his powers.

Blood became the most important thing in his life. It was all he could think about - how to get it, how to use it, how to make it more profitable - but he got the feeling he was being watched by his superiors in Aztlan. He felt this undeniable sensation to flee and so he did; it took all of his connections and favors but he got himself transferred to Seattle of all places.

He began to more thoroughly explore himself and what he was capable of.

Now, he's just a shell of a man, clinging desperately to the words he can still force out - "I don't know who I am."
===[[Cinnamon Buns and Cereal Killers]]: The Sad Tale of Orson Cordova===
Orson Cordova was just a man. True, before the world fell apart in ‘64, he could touch the Matrix in ways no one could ever explain. Through his data jack he experienced a world that was beyond words. He watched as the great ones took down the only place he’d ever felt comfortable. When the Matrix had finally come back, he broke. The closeness he had was gone. Many times he considered eating the end of his trusty Colt, but he was a coward. And so, he did what he could - bought an Azzie deck and bartered out his services while he drank himself to sleep each night. Drugs sometimes too. Always alone, always looking for ways to get back what he’d had.

One day, something in the Matrix touched him. It took almost no convincing to get Cordova to go to El Paso.

Things got blurry after that. He remembered the faces of others, passing like shadows in a kind of nightmarish fugue state. He remembered blood, lots of blood, but not who’s blood. He remembered the throbbing feeling that something wasn’t right. He remembered less and less.

Sometimes when people asked him who he was, he didn’t know what to say.

==Overview==
Adowa, or "Moria," as she prefers to be called, is a sweet-hearted DIMR scientist recently assigned by the Foundation to recruit Shadowrunners for various missions, and to assist them where possible. A strange decision, considering Ms. Webster is sometimes bad with people, stumbles over what to say a lot of the time, and usually secludes herself. Nevertheless, she takes pride in her new job and wants to try her best. Moria is a mage of the hermetic tradition, and an experienced security decker. In her free time Moria is an RPG fanatic. She is already paid by the Foundation, so she will usually just barter for geeky items from runners, though she won't turn down Nuyen or favors. (Especially for difficult services or if there is any risk to herself.)

==Summary==
The runners are sent to locate a rich man's daughter, and end up busting a Yakuza trafficking ring in the process.

==Background==
Pierce McIntire, a toy company CEO with a passion for collecting 5th World NERPs, calls in ShadowHaven's assistance to locate
and hopefully bring home his missing daughter, Courtney. He hopes to have her home and hopefully recovered from her ordeal in time for a dinner he's hosting 10 days from the meet.

==The Meet==
A party girl with a bad drug habit, Courtney has been missing for about two weeks, and took neither the car nor her
commlink when she left. Pierce offers the team ¥18,000 each to figure out where she is, .
and another ¥2,000 to bring her back dead or alive. Bizarrely, Pierce doesn't seem to care whether she's alive or not, and
seems to actually expect the team to find her dead. He excuses himself after the initial brief, and hands the team off to
his secretary, Lucinda, to have her answer any additional questions of theirs.
 
Lucinda gives Courtney's commlink to Vip3r so that she can search it for evidence later. She says that Courtney frequently leaves without her commlink as a form of rebellion against her father, and has a habit of sneaking out and evading her bodyguards.
When Courtney does this, Lucinda says, she typically travels with credsticks, and most likely buys burner comms which she tosses before she gets home. In most cases, she either calls the family's car service or takes the Phaeton; in this instance, she did nether.
Lucinda also explains that things got worse after [[Bio-where? What? Oh Drek!|The Incident]], in which Courtney brought three new friends home from partying with her. "One of them was a jackalope," Lucinda says, and Vip3r immediately realizes she's talking about [[Harebuck]].
Following that, she went to rehab, and has never been quite the same since.
 
Vip3r asks about which places Courtney frequently partied at, and Lucinda told her that one of her main haunts was Bellevue's infamous Powerline Sex Club, a Yakuza-owned den of debauchery with a thriving sex and drug trade that made it a popular destination for rich party kids.
Satisfied with the number of leads they'd obtained from the meet, Moth leads the team out to begin the planning phase at a hotel.

==The Plan==
Before making any other plans, the group agrees to let Vip3r dig through Courtney's commlink for any clues. Searching for contacts who Courtney added after leaving rehab, she discovers a Dr. Anton Orlov, and a "Billy <3."
Moth recognizes Dr. Orlov's name; he's a doctor for the corrupt Red Star Clinics, which repossess 'ware that their clients are unable to pay for. Orlov specializes in "geneware and magical drek," and keeps young socialites attractive and drug-tolerant. When Moth recalls that Courtney
had mentioned a desire for upgrades to Lucinda, the team resolves to scout out the clinic that night.
 
Vip3r finds a suspicious event in Courtney's schedule pertaining to "Billy <3," simply titled "Get the Z" and with no time or location attached. Turns out, Moth has heard of this "Z" before; it's a drug that offers the best high you've ever had, and makes the person who takes it very pliable.
The team concludes that Billy was probably a rich kid who was in and out of rehab, and was either the dealer or simply knew where to acquire the drug.

==The Run==
Relay sends in a FlySpy drone to scout out the Red Star Clinic, and determine the best way for Iceland to get in and out of the building.
Iceland cracks the maglock on the clinic's door without breaking a sweat, while Vip3r
enters the host, looping its camera feeds and disabling its tripwires. There are datachips strewn carelessly across Orlov's desk; Iceland gathers them up, along with a little glass vial she believes contains the "Z," and sneaks out as silently as she entered.
The team makes their getaway. Meanwhile, still in the clinic's host, Vip3r finds Courtney's file and copies it, immediately getting out of the host once the data is saved.
 
After a night's rest, Vip3r analyzes the data on the chips. It seems that Orlov took only a very cursory interest in all of his patients, including Courtney; the notes he kept on them were very brief, and his file on Courtney contains little information other than that she was
given dietware treatments and narco treatments, turned down nephritic screens because they would prevent her from getting high, and was in fact dosed with "Z"--which turns out to be an experimental drug called zydrate. There are records of a Zydrate shipment to the clinic, which exist as files, but they're suspiciously blank. Oddly enough, so is Courtney's file that Vip3r found in the Matrix host.
 
Moth calls her contact, [[SignificantNPC::Nathan Wallace]], who was a former Red Star doctor who she extracted [[Ninety Days Delinquent|on a previous run]]. Wallace lets her know that the Yakuza likely got their hands on Zydrate, and that it was almost definitely sold to them by Orlov.
Zydrate is being used in the clinic in lieu of a total anaesthetic; it produces a euphoric feeling in patients, inhibits pain, and is very, VERY addictive.
The runners conjecture that the Yakuza are likely using it on trafficking victims to set them up with personafixes, and know that they have to find Courtney FAST.
 
The group ventures out to find Billy, suspecting that he will either be with Courtney or will know where to find her. After two hours of searching the Matrix, Vip3r finally locates Billy's comm inside of a Yakuza safe warehouse. Relay sends his FlySpy in, and sees cages full of women along the back wall, as well as someone who appears to be Billy frantically conversing with a Yakuza boss in Japanese. Watching the drone feed,
Moth is able to understand that they took Courtney despite her "not being part of the deal," and that the Yakuza planned to ship her off to Japan. Knowing they had to interfere immediately, the team hatched a quick plan of attack; Vip3r would data spike the Yakuza's weapons and cyberware, Relay would send in his rotodrones, and Iceland would lead the girls out while Moth offered direction to the rest of the group.

==Aftermath==
The runners get the drop on the Yaks, who barely stand a chance against them. Vip3r bricks one man's cybereyes, and, deciding he's not a threat, they leave him alive for questioning. When he refuses to comply, Vip3r suggests they dose him with Zydrate to get him to comply.
He says they're not holding any other women long term; they take them to a second location near the docks for auction.
 
The runners rescue Courtney and three other women from the warehouse. They've had cyberware implanted, and been treated with personafixes. Moth calls [[SignificantNPC::Dr. Isabel Wirth]], a doctor in a Tarislar hospital to whom she's previously brought women who were rescued from
a bunraku parlor, and has them brought to her hospital for treatment. Courtney, however, they bring directly back to her father so that she can be treated privately in order to keep their reputations clear.
 
Courtney misses the dinner, but is able to get effective treatment and recover from the personafix she was fitted with.
 
Left with have the only existing, non-Yakuza- or Red Star-controlled sample of zydrate, the
runners make the decision to send it to Nathan so that he can find a way to counteract it and redeem himself.

==Player After Action Reports (AARs)==
===Vip3r===
I think we made some real, good changes on this run. I'm glad we got those girls out of Yak control safely. We did it for more money than I've ever seen in my life, AND I got to brick some poor slot's cybereyes! I've always wanted to do that. 
Now, I just... have to figure out if I want to tell Harebuck what his actions led to.

===Moth===
[[Moth]] here! This was my 42nd run. A terrific team. I'd gladly run with any of these folks again - top notch professionals - great at what they do, and all glad to do clean, subtle work, and the research needed. I am so happy we rescued those girls, and gave Courtney the best chance we could at getting her life back together. And I'm glad we got the Zydrate sample to Nathan to try to find a cure for the addiction and redeem himself. But also, I am just thinking a lot about Courtney and her papa. She sounded so much like me in many ways. Sneaking away from bodyguards to dance at clubs. A total party girl. Doing drugs. A little spoiled. A little too trusting. That was me before I got into the runner's life! So much like me. It just really gives me pause. I've learned so much since I started. I've grown up, in some ways. But also, I am so very lucky to have a papa who truly loves me. It makes all the difference. (And, I can't believe I actually used my food truck on a run! I was sort of thinking I'd never risk it. But we needed a 2nd vehicle to help transport those girls to the hospital from the Yakuza warehouse, and some things are even more important than worrying that my precious truck will get damaged in crossfire.)

===Relay===
This was my third run through the Haven, and I keep finding myself surrounded by drugs, gangs, and violence. Imma be real, it's almost like we're somehow tethered to the dark underbelly of this city. Twice now I've managed to help some people at the end of the day, but this time it wasn't simply undoing my own actions. I'll be honest, it felt...almost good? Like I made a difference that I'm proud of this time? And--I mean--getting paid wasn't bad, either. This guy cared a hell of a lot more about how he was looked at than how his daughter was doing. That's the kind of parent that ends up with a kid in the hands of the Yakuza after trying to make their own way. He should've known. No--I think he did know. He should have cared. But, I'll make rent, and maybe she'll be okay. Maybe we'll be scraping her off a street two weeks from now.

Moth seemed to genuinely care about the girl and her safety. At first I figured that was a ploy to put the toymaker at ease, but maybe she really does care. She seemed genuinely upset about the girls in cages. I mean--she should--it's upsetting. But--like--she wanted to make sure they got into rehab and started making calls. She actually wanted to follow up on that feeling and DO something about it. And the crazy part was that she actually COULD do something about it. I've never worked with someone who had so many connections before. Anytime anything came up, she knew a person. Like--she didn't even know a person who knew a person--she knew THE person. It was crazy. Iceland is Iceland. She just waltzed into a wholly owned subsidiary of a AA corp without so much as a sweat. It's always pretty mind-boggling. And Vip3r--well, she does to their grid what I do to a drone. Grab snacks and wait--it's gonna get done. Man, I could go for snacks. There was talk about a chewing gum from like--YEARS ago. Never mind--I get sidetracked. The point is, I liked the team. We can get in and out when we need to, and hopefully not make enough of a buzz so that we can do it again if we need to. I'm going to feel a hell of a lot safer when I show up to a meeting with Mr. or Ms. Johnson and see members of this crew at the table.

=== Iceland ===
This run had just the right amount of research, sneaking around, and shooting things. And the team's skills complemented each other SO very well. We took on Yakuza without getting a scratch on us; not bad for my second run!

==Hi! I'm SedatedAlice!==
I am a level 2 GM on the Haven that specializes in new player runs, Matrix games, and character advancing runs (think initiations, dealing with bounties, submersions, etc.).

==Style==

*I am a big, big fan of storytelling. My runs tend to have a big focus on narrative elements over combat, so be prepared: your combat heavy character may not have much to do on my runs.
*My Johnsons will only work with PC's they deem professional.
*My runs tend to run the gambit between pink mohawk and black trenchcoat - the run post itself will be your best guide as to the tone of the run.
*I enjoy doing runs that are personalized and happily take requests! Just DM me on Discord.

==Player Safety==
Player/roleplay safety is a big thing on my table. As a reminder: playing an X-Card is your right on the Haven, and I encourage you to use all the player safety tools at your disposal! I'm here to make sure we all have fun, and being uncomfortable isn't fun! I have macros, tokens, and cards set up on my Roll20 to make sure you have all the tools to help me know if I am making you uncomfortable!

==Pick Policy==
In an attempt to make things as fun for all as possible, I try to strike a balance with run picks in roughly this priority:

*To create a balanced team dynamic so as to ensure a smooth run with the highest chance of success (everyone wants to be a winner, right!)
*To make sure that each person has their time to do cool stuff! It's no fun being the person doing all the work or the person who wonders why they were even brought on the run.
*To reward people who do things I appreciate as a writer! It's hard sometimes to balance narrative and wanting to be an optimized bad ass, and I appreciate someone who likes narrative fluff more than optimized flavor.

In short: I attempt to make thematically interesting and mechanically balanced teams from the applicant pool that has the highest chance of success.

==Declining The Meet==
I allow players to decline the meet if there is a character conflict I may have missed. Please have why you might decline a meet on your wiki page - or at the latest, let me know when I post picks for the run.
==There's More than One Way==
Instead of flatly declining a job, sometimes it is interesting to work for a different outcome than the one the rest of the players are aiming for. I'll permit this (and reserve the right to, in the future, structure runs around this), but it has to be done in good faith, with my full knowledge -- so just message me and we'll sort it out. Failure to do this will not be looked upon kindly.
==The Setting==
Shadowrun is made of not sunshine and rainbows - I try to have things be internally consistent within the world, as I think that makes for a much more interesting run. I also appreciate characters that are internally consistent with the setting and, when I read your run post response, I can really get a good feel for your character.
==Consequences==
A good story has to have believable obstacles and consequences. I believe that there should always be a threat! If you fail, I will not be kind as there were ways to avoid that failure. Failure isn't the end, however, as I believe that failure is an important storytelling tool. If you mess up, you and/or your team can pull your bacon out of the fire by doubling down at the risk of making things more difficult in the future.

=Character Information=

===Summary===
Charitas was born talking, or so her mother claims. A social creature at heart, Charitas is at her best when she's using her skills to help those that need her - whether that be bargaining for the homeless or helping her team extract information from a target. She is deeply religious but does not push her views on others - instead, she walks the path set by the carpenter, holding fast to the tenants of the [[wikipedia:Great_Commandment|Great Commandment]] above all others. Understanding that to be Awakened is a gift from God, and in keeping with the views of His Church, Charitas very much keeps her abilities in line with what the Catholic Church deems as 'appropriate'.

===Goals===

*To get revenge for the death of her childhood sweetheart at the hands of the Voodoo Posse.
*Earn enough to get her family out of New Orleans.
*Renew her faith in God and herself.

==The Story So Far==

===A Happy Family in the Slums of New Orleans===
Charitas was born in to a loving, warm home. While they never had much to go around, her mother and father worked hard to make sure they had enough. By the time she was ten, her father had worked his way up to be the manager of the garage he worked at while her mother had saved just enough to open her own bakery. Charitas had two best friends in the world: [[Anne-Marie Leveux]] and Iréne Facilier. The trio were inseparable in those early years, spending as much time at each other's homes as their own. It was idyllic. Almost too idyllic.

===Awakening to the screams of the Loa===
It was subtle at first. As she hit puberty, Charitas always knew when someone was telling the truth or not. She'd look at her face in the mirror and wish for the pimples to go away - and they would. Her father's radical anti-Awakened sentiments were well known in the neighborhood. He believed that the Church consorting with 'witches and devil spawn' would be the downfall of everyone. And so, she kept quiet and tried to push away what she was capable of.

Until the night the ''loa'' came.

Her mother found Charitas in her room, huddled in a corner, screaming about things trying to force themselves into her and sucking away her soul. Immediately her mother phoned Father Calhoun - the local priest and a known Awakened - and Charitas's father to come immediately, then spent the time waiting for the men to arrive trying to get Charitas to pray away these demons. Her parents watched from the doorway as Father Calhoun attempted to get a hold of the situation. He managed to banish the ''loa'' and calm down the teenager. Once her father understood what she was, he told Charitas to get out of his house.

Her mother counter offered and told her husband to get out and that it was '''her''' name on the title of the house and they wouldn't be needing his support anymore, thank you. (Her parents are still married to this day despite not having spoken in nearly 12 years).

===Learning to Embrace Herself - Imperfections and All===
It took quite a deal of coaxing to get Charitas to accept that this was her life now. Father Calhoun was of great influence at this point in her life and nearly replaced the father that had walked out on his 'witch' of a daughter. The priest taught Charitas that her gift was from God, just as all things were, and should she push it aside, she would be snubbing the Big Man. It took quite a long time before she felt at ease enough to explore what she could do, but slowly, and surely, she learned she could push her body to the limits of what she thought possible. She could be anyone, anything, given enough preparation and a wig. Father Calhoun taught her a handful of incantations to help keep her safe: how to heal the sick, how to banish the devil sent spirits, how to defend herself against other Awakened that meant her harm.

Slowly she began to exhibit patterns of behavior. Frequent bouts of intense energy, feelings of being impervious, general reckless disregard for her own safety were followed by long stretches of melancholy, lack of energy, and suicidal thoughts. In the darkness she relived the terror of her first formal introduction to spirits. In the light she became almost reckless in her behaviors. This was not the same girl from before the Awakening. A formal psychological diagnosed soon followed: Charitas was Bi-Polar, Type 1. It took some time to find a medication that helped keep her more even keeled, but eventually she was once again the well-adjusted young lady she had been before.

===Shadowrunning in all its Tragedy===
Throughout this turbulent time, Charitas never lost the support of her two best friends. Iréne seemed to take an interest in Charitas that went beyond friendship sometime after puberty, but the pair never admitted openly if anything had happened beyond friendship. [[Anne-Marie Leveux]] and Iréne Facilier seemed set on helping in Iréne's mother, [[Ursule Facilier]], organization and making their mark on the world from the shadows. Ursule saw how well the young women worked together and how their skill sets complimented each other; once they had graduated high school, Ursule began offering the girls odd jobs. The trio grew in confidence and skill quickly - too quickly, perhaps. Ursule got wind of a job extracting a target and smuggling them out of New Orleans and sent her girls off to prove to everyone they had what it takes to play in the big leagues.

They did not count on the Voodoo Posse being paid to kill their target. The trio tried as best they could to get their target out before the Posse got there, but were nearly too late. Iréne succumbed to zombie dust. Anne-Marie and Charitas barely managed to get the target out alive - Charitas went back for Iréne and in the process lost an arm in a desperate bid to recover what was left of her friend.

It was after the funeral of their dear friend that Anne-Marie and Charitas decided to start picking up the smuggling routes out of New Orleans. The city seemed almost suffocating to them now.

==Narrative Significant Qualities==

===My Gift is Given by God, and I Will Only Use it as He Sees Fit (Traditional Christian Theurgist Mystic Adept)===
Charitas is a devout Catholic and keeps her Awakened powers in check with what the Church deems as acceptable:

*Charitas will never summon spirits to help her.
*Charitas will never practice magic on the Sabbath.

Outside of this, Charitas is a big proponent of that commandment, 'thou shalt not kill'. While she will defend herself and those in her team should it prove necessary, she will adamantly argue against the use of lethal force.

===My Brain is a Burden, but I Accept it (Bi-Polar + Focused Concentration)===
Shortly after awakening, Charitas began to exhibit symptoms of Bi-Polar, Type 1. Her periods of mania and super focus (before medication helped her to control it) has given her a great ability to concentrate on things without actively concentrating on them. While she uses medication now to control her symptoms, she does still benefit from an above average ability to concentrate.

===I See Her Every Time I Close my Eyes (Impassive + Insomnia)===
The loss of Iréne hit Charitas hard. Though that was 4 years ago now, she still sees Iréne more often than is healthy when she closes her eyes. She's spent a lot of sleepless nights reliving that battle, figuring out what she could have done to save her friend. Sometimes the trauma gets in the way of her actually connecting with people.

==="Forgive Us Our Trespasses, as we Forgive those who Trespass Against Us" (One Born Every Minute)===
Charitas is very forgiving and tries to see the best in everyone. She very firmly believes that people (outside of those who practice Voodoo) are inherently good and should always be given another chance. Some call it being naive. Charitas calls it being Christian.

===I Will Never Forgive or Forget (Prejudiced (Specific, Outspoken))===
Charitas has never had very good dealings with those of the Voodoo tradition. Since Iréne's death, she out and out blames every practioner of Voodoo for the death of her friends and countless like her. Charitas is tolerant of many things. Voodoun is not one of them.

===Talk to Them Like You're One of them (Billingual + Linguist)===
Charitas is a talker. It helps that she has an ear for languages and a memory a mile long. She grew up speaking English and French interchangably and has picked up Latin (through her studies with the Church), Spanish, Sperethiel, and Louisana Creole along the way.

===Born and Raised in the CAS (National SINner)===
While she was born a legal citizen of the CAS, Charitas never really saw the point of getting rid of her SIN once she stepped into the shadows. But knowing her biometrics are on file has made her much more careful about not leaving a trace of herself in less than legal activities.

=Character Information=

===Summary===
Charitas was born talking, or so her mother claims. A social creature at heart, Charitas is at her best when she's using her skills to help those that need her - whether that be bargaining for the homeless or helping her team extract information from a target. She is deeply religious but does not push her views on others - instead, she walks the path set by the carpenter, holding fast to the tenants of the [[wikipedia:Great_Commandment|Great Commandment]] above all others. Understanding that to be Awakened is a gift from God, and in keeping with the views of His Church, Charitas very much keeps her abilities in line with what the Catholic Church deems as 'appropriate'.

===Goals===

*To get revenge for the death of her childhood sweetheart at the hands of the Voodoo Posse.
*Earn enough to get her family out of New Orleans.
*Renew her faith in God and herself.

==The Story So Far==

===A Happy Family in the Slums of New Orleans===
Charitas was born in to a loving, warm home. While they never had much to go around, her mother and father worked hard to make sure they had enough. By the time she was ten, her father had worked his way up to be the manager of the garage he worked at while her mother had saved just enough to open her own bakery. Charitas had two best friends in the world: [[Anne-Marie Leveux]] and Iréne Facilier. The trio were inseparable in those early years, spending as much time at each other's homes as their own. It was idyllic. Almost too idyllic.

===Awakening to the screams of the Loa===
It was subtle at first. As she hit puberty, Charitas always knew when someone was telling the truth or not. She'd look at her face in the mirror and wish for the pimples to go away - and they would. Her father's radical anti-Awakened sentiments were well known in the neighborhood. He believed that the Church consorting with 'witches and devil spawn' would be the downfall of everyone. And so, she kept quiet and tried to push away what she was capable of.

Until the night the ''loa'' came.

Her mother found Charitas in her room, huddled in a corner, screaming about things trying to force themselves into her and sucking away her soul. Immediately her mother phoned Father Calhoun - the local priest and a known Awakened - and Charitas's father to come immediately, then spent the time waiting for the men to arrive trying to get Charitas to pray away these demons. Her parents watched from the doorway as Father Calhoun attempted to get a hold of the situation. He managed to banish the ''loa'' and calm down the teenager. Once her father understood what she was, he told Charitas to get out of his house.

Her mother counter offered and told her husband to get out and that it was '''her''' name on the title of the house and they wouldn't be needing his support anymore, thank you. (Her parents are still married to this day despite not having spoken in nearly 12 years).

===Learning to Embrace Herself - Imperfections and All===
It took quite a deal of coaxing to get Charitas to accept that this was her life now. Father Calhoun was of great influence at this point in her life and nearly replaced the father that had walked out on his 'witch' of a daughter. The priest taught Charitas that her gift was from God, just as all things were, and should she push it aside, she would be snubbing the Big Man. It took quite a long time before she felt at ease enough to explore what she could do, but slowly, and surely, she learned she could push her body to the limits of what she thought possible. She could be anyone, anything, given enough preparation and a wig. Father Calhoun taught her a handful of incantations to help keep her safe: how to heal the sick, how to banish the devil sent spirits, how to defend herself against other Awakened that meant her harm.

Slowly she began to exhibit patterns of behavior. Frequent bouts of intense energy, feelings of being impervious, general reckless disregard for her own safety were followed by long stretches of melancholy, lack of energy, and suicidal thoughts. In the darkness she relived the terror of her first formal introduction to spirits. In the light she became almost reckless in her behaviors. This was not the same girl from before the Awakening. A formal psychological diagnosed soon followed: Charitas was Bi-Polar, Type 1. It took some time to find a medication that helped keep her more even keeled, but eventually she was once again the well-adjusted young lady she had been before.

===Shadowrunning in all its Tragedy===
Throughout this turbulent time, Charitas never lost the support of her two best friends. Iréne seemed to take an interest in Charitas that went beyond friendship sometime after puberty, but the pair never admitted openly if anything had happened beyond friendship. [[Anne-Marie Leveux]] and Iréne Facilier seemed set on helping in Iréne's mother, [[Ursule Facilier]], organization and making their mark on the world from the shadows. Ursule saw how well the young women worked together and how their skill sets complimented each other; once they had graduated high school, Ursule began offering the girls odd jobs. The trio grew in confidence and skill quickly - too quickly, perhaps. Ursule got wind of a job extracting a target and smuggling them out of New Orleans and sent her girls off to prove to everyone they had what it takes to play in the big leagues.

They did not count on the Voodoo Posse being paid to kill their target. The trio tried as best they could to get their target out before the Posse got there, but were nearly too late. Iréne succumbed to zombie dust. Anne-Marie and Charitas barely managed to get the target out alive - Charitas went back for Iréne and in the process lost an arm in a desperate bid to recover what was left of her friend.

It was after the funeral of their dear friend that Anne-Marie and Charitas decided to start picking up the smuggling routes out of New Orleans. The city seemed almost suffocating to them now.

==Narrative Significant Qualities==

===My Gift is Given by God, and I Will Only Use it as He Sees Fit (Traditional Christian Theurgist Mystic Adept)===
Charitas is a devout Catholic and keeps her Awakened powers in check with what the Church deems as acceptable:

*Charitas will never summon spirits to help her.
*Charitas will never practice magic on the Sabbath.

Outside of this, Charitas is a big proponent of that commandment, 'thou shalt not kill'. While she will defend herself and those in her team should it prove necessary, she will adamantly argue against the use of lethal force.

===My Brain is a Burden, but I Accept it (Bi-Polar + Focused Concentration)===
Shortly after awakening, Charitas began to exhibit symptoms of Bi-Polar, Type 1. Her periods of mania and super focus (before medication helped her to control it) has given her a great ability to concentrate on things without actively concentrating on them. While she uses medication now to control her symptoms, she does still benefit from an above average ability to concentrate.

===I See Her Every Time I Close my Eyes (Impassive + Insomnia)===
The loss of Iréne hit Charitas hard. Though that was 4 years ago now, she still sees Iréne more often than is healthy when she closes her eyes. She's spent a lot of sleepless nights reliving that battle, figuring out what she could have done to save her friend. Sometimes the trauma gets in the way of her actually connecting with people.

==="Forgive Us Our Trespasses, as we Forgive those who Trespass Against Us" (One Born Every Minute)===
Charitas is very forgiving and tries to see the best in everyone. She very firmly believes that people (outside of those who practice Voodoo) are inherently good and should always be given another chance. Some call it being naive. Charitas calls it being Christian.

===I Will Never Forgive or Forget (Prejudiced (Specific, Outspoken))===
Charitas has never had very good dealings with those of the Voodoo tradition. Since Iréne's death, she out and out blames every practioner of Voodoo for the death of her friends and countless like her. Charitas is tolerant of many things. Voodoun is not one of them.

===Talk to Them Like You're One of them (Billingual + Linguist)===
Charitas is a talker. It helps that she has an ear for languages and a memory a mile long. She grew up speaking English and French interchangably and has picked up Latin (through her studies with the Church), Spanish, Sperethiel, and Louisana Creole along the way.

===Born and Raised in the CAS (National SINner)===
While she was born a legal citizen of the CAS, Charitas never really saw the point of getting rid of her SIN once she stepped into the shadows. But knowing her biometrics are on file has made her much more careful about not leaving a trace of herself in less than legal activities.

It was after the funeral of their dear friend that Anne-Marie and Charitas decided to start picking up the smuggling routes out of New Orleans. The city seemed almost suffocating to them now.

==Narrative Significant Qualities==

===My Gift is Given by God, and I Will Only Use it as He Sees Fit (Traditional Christian Theurgist Mystic Adept)===
Charitas is a devout Catholic and keeps her Awakened powers in check with what the Church deems as acceptable:

*Charitas will never summon spirits to help her.
*Charitas will never practice magic on the Sabbath.

Outside of this, Charitas is a big proponent of that commandment, 'thou shalt not kill'. While she will defend herself and those in her team should it prove necessary, she will adamantly argue against the use of lethal force.

===My Brain is a Burden, but I Accept it (Bi-Polar + Focused Concentration)===
Shortly after awakening, Charitas began to exhibit symptoms of Bi-Polar, Type 1. Her periods of mania and super focus (before medication helped her to control it) has given her a great ability to concentrate on things without actively concentrating on them. While she uses medication now to control her symptoms, she does still benefit from an above average ability to concentrate.

===I See Her Every Time I Close my Eyes (Impassive + Insomnia)===
The loss of Iréne hit Charitas hard. Though that was 4 years ago now, she still sees Iréne more often than is healthy when she closes her eyes. She's spent a lot of sleepless nights reliving that battle, figuring out what she could have done to save her friend. Sometimes the trauma gets in the way of her actually connecting with people.

==="Forgive Us Our Trespasses, as we Forgive those who Trespass Against Us" (One Born Every Minute)===
Charitas is very forgiving and tries to see the best in everyone. She very firmly believes that people (outside of those who practice Voodoo) are inherently good and should always be given another chance. Some call it being naive. Charitas calls it being Christian.

===I Will Never Forgive or Forget (Prejudiced (Specific, Outspoken))===
Charitas has never had very good dealings with those of the Voodoo tradition. Since Iréne's death, she out and out blames every practioner of Voodoo for the death of her friends and countless like her. Charitas is tolerant of many things. Voodoun is not one of them.

===Talk to Them Like You're One of them (Billingual + Linguist)===
Charitas is a talker. It helps that she has an ear for languages and a memory a mile long. She grew up speaking English and French interchangably and has picked up Latin (through her studies with the Church), Spanish, Sperethiel, and Louisana Creole along the way.

===Born and Raised in the CAS (National SINner)===
While she was born a legal citizen of the CAS, Charitas never really saw the point of getting rid of her SIN once she stepped into the shadows. But knowing her biometrics are on file has made her much more careful about not leaving a trace of herself in less than legal activities.
