===Summary===
Former law enforcement officer turned sharpshooter-for-hire, Fara 'Quill' Weiss despises the spotlight. Her experience with Sudden Unexplained Recessive Genetic Expression (SURGE) left her in a state she despised as it ruined the comfy life she had always known. Fara's new complications forced a re-evaluation of future prospects, of which led her down a path of a Shadowrunner. Although extremely detrimental to her social presence, her transformation proved beneficial, using a new sense of agility to reach new heights. Her nocturnal nature and adaptive coat of feathers allowed her to become a shadow during the night. It seemed her only viable future had her aiding those she once took pride in locking up.

===Goals===
- To search for the reason why her father's side of the family resulted in their transformation.

- To become skilled enough to ensure no one could affect her remaining family.

- To ensure her sister eventually recovers from her tortured artistic phase.

==Background==
Fara Weiss grew up in Canadian Yukon, a rural and frigid place. Her family was relatively small, consisting of two parents and a sister. Her parents came from a long line of hunters, who preyed on large animal game during the long winters. Fara took a liking to the shooting sport, developing a pretty good eye for detail and aiming. That liking turned into a hobby, and then into a way of life; it felt alien to not have the butt of a rifle nestled into her shoulder. Despite the love for the sport, Fara resented the buildup to the kill, such as the tracking, the boring wait, and the numbing elements. Her parents futilely attempted to impart their wealth survival techniques onto Fara, often scolding her for selectively focusing on the shot rather than the whole art.

One of the major insights Fara still remembers is her father stating, "The birds are the first to notice everything, for they have the best vantage point. If you can fool the birds, you fool the entire tundra."

The desire for actions caused a rift within the family and resulted in Fara and her sister Iset traveling to Vancouver for a life with more potential. Fara ended up finding a job as a police officer while Iset wanted to pursue artistry regarding the beautiful tundra wildlife. As they both continued to pursue their respective path, Fara began to gain more experiences with special task forces, often being assigned roles requiring sniper overwatch. She soon gained accolades for her precision and received recognition around the region as a crack shot. A promotion into the Special Weapons and Tactics units quickly had her responding to serious and critical calls.

The sisters enjoyed the city life, living together in a nice, quaint townhome with their future ahead. One specific night, certain power outages have been ravaging the district utilities, causing a major power outage in the middle of winter. The two sisters laughed and enjoyed their chilly evening with roasted marshmallows and bulky jackets from the Yukon. The cold was their element, and it never once had been an issue. Their portable radio set kept them updated of a major astronomical event that would be a once-in-a-lifetime event, the passing of Halley's Comet. The year was 2061. Iset desperately wanted to see the beauty of the comet to hopefully have it inspire another work of hers, and she inevitably dragged Fara out into the snow. With the power in the district gone, there was not light pollution or city interference. Just the night sky like they remembered back in the Yukon. Galaxy bands sprawled across the sky, and the cosmos opened up. Fara soon remembered what she left behind by moving to Vancouver, the quiet solstice of their own little world.

A scream was heard in a household nearby, then similarly others, some resembling noises that can only be described as primal. Fara looked around, confused by the sudden commotion from the rows of houses, and urged Iset to come back inside. When Fara turned around, Iset was found in a fetal position releasing cries of anguish as her jacket began to bulge with feathers and blood. A sudden wave of weariness fell over Fara as her heart rate slowed; each of her breaths felt rhythmic and dragged on for what felt like minutes. All she could see was the comet overhead. Her blood began to feel hot, burning, boiling as see clawed at her chest through the bulky jacket. The only sensation was to rip off the thing that was making her feel so confined, claustrophobic. Fara felt suffocation, inhaling deeply, but remained choking. Reverberations rang throughout her body as he could feel her bones internally snap and pop; what felt like molten knives piercing her body and limbs promptly put Fara into shock, feinting for a minute.

When Fara came to, her jacket was torn to shreds with blood and feathers; Lifting her hands, all she could see were feathers lining her now exposed body. Despite the shock, see looked out to Iset, who was still balled up in the snow. Reaching over shakily, she found her sister resembling the feathers of a dove covered in blood. Fara weakly kept pulling her sister towards the townhouse, visibly shaking from the sudden pain of the cold, like her body was shutting down. Fara's ears rang as she kept dragging, a cacophony of screams, shrieks, and crying throughout their part of the city. Closing the front door, the remnant of the icy wind blew past Fara; that painful anguish of her body freezing didn't make any sense. All she knew is that she needed to get warm immediately. With the power out, she began to break furniture to get kindling and wood, cobbling some pots and pans together to make a fire, a big one. That night, Fara and Iset sat underneath all the blankets in the house, bloodied and ripped, basking in the warmth of the makeshift fireplace. The one thought that went through Fara's head was to not fall asleep, as she may never wake up again.

A dream, it had to be a dream, Fara thought. She didn't sleep, but kept trying to get herself to believe it was a dream. A mantra she kept reciting while sifting her hands through her sister's feathers, hoping she would wake up. The SURGE is what reports called the event. Much of the city was in disarray as many essential personnel were unavailable. Fara found out that her sister and herself were susceptible to the elements, and that they both resembled birds more than the elves they were. Grief struck them both as they had to become accustomed to their new forms. Days turned into weeks as thing began to resort to a new normal. Fara tried to return to work, being immediately sent to the hospital by her colleagues, fearing that she was turning into some kind of monster. Maybe they were right, she thought; the one thing she did not even think about was the fate of her parents.

Gearing up in every bit of insulating gear she could find, she traveled to the Yukon to find her parents. The result was devastating. Upon arrival, she found her mother shoveling snow and dirt away from a deep hole, luckily seeming the same as Fara remembered. As she approached, her mother ran to embrace, breaking down as her fears were realized about her child. Fara's mother spoke faintly, describing that night in specific detail, and Fara's father was out hunting when it happened. He never returned, so after searching, her mother found his altered corpse, frozen to death. The hole she finished burying was his grave.

Fara was let go from the job indefinitely due to her transformation, and Iset fell into a depressive spiral as it seemed their lives were going to be arduous with living in the cold. They decided to move down south to a place with more temperate weather, Seattle; still close to home, the two began to adapt to their new living accommodations, learning to have insulation, and to avoid drawing unnecessary attention. Months turned into years as they tried to make a living. Iset became a suffering artist whose works became well known and sought after, but it killed Fara to see her sister sacrificing her sanity to keep them afloat. Fara sought to make ends meet by becoming a part of a security team. From security to mercenary sniper, and from that to an assassin. She began to learn specific aspects of her body that didn't quite add up, such as adaptive camouflage from her feathers changing colors to extreme reflexes. Near the start of the 2080's, nearly two decades of adaption to her body resulted in a new future that enveloped what she set out to do, to be the one pulling the trigger on her prey. From that point one she became a bird of prey and became a Shadowrunner.

== Narrative Significant Qualities ==

===Low Logic===

Regarding their Logic Rating of 1:

- Quill did not complete formal education by the age of adulthood, gaining her GED by the age of 25.

- SURGE incident of 2061 has mentally scarred Quill, reducing her decisiveness and critical thinking capacity due to her internalized discomfort, unanswered questions, emotional impulses, and uncertainty of the future. Without the desire or mental fortitude to dwell on why things are currently, she often takes most things stated to her at face value, despite its true factuality (One Born Every Minute). With the above in mind, her decision-making is based entirely on short-term goals, since anything further out will begin to excessively worry and overwhelm Quill (Driven). Her profession as a Law Enforcement Officer and Special Weapons and Tactics Officer has trained her to instinctively follow orders, leaving planning and serious considerations in the hands of those more capable (Designated Omega). Due to her transformed appearance, she excessively worries about how she appears to the public, often shrouding herself in a cloak or instinctively hiding until the coast is clear (Social Appearance Anxiety 1).

===Summary===
Pacho Herrera is a true-to-form ''sicario'' from Mexico, hell-bent on achieving an ''obsesión último'' regarding explosives. A graduate of the ''Universidad de la Ciudad de México (UCM)'' with a degree in industrial chemistry, Pacho turned to the Bloodhounds cartel following an 'incident' involving a cargo freighter filled with ammonium nitrate-based fertilizer. His knowledge in chemistry and his newfound obsession with explosive reactions proved useful to the cartel, leading to a fulfilling career as a dramatic bomb maker and enforcer of failed intimidation. Pacho now is stationed in Seattle to make an example of a certain ''cliente'' who displeased the Bloodhounds.

===Goals===
- To find and exact the cartel's will onto the ''cliente'' located in Seattle for failing to uphold their end of the 'deal'.

- Seeking to improve the influence and reach of the Bloodhounds into the north, starting with Seattle.

- Religiously pursue a new chemical formula and conditions to create an explosive impact the world will not forget.

==Background==
Pacho's childhood consisted of toiling in the fields and pastures of his family's homestead in Aztlan. Not being the most affluent, all the children of the Herrera family worked from an early age to sustain the agricultural lifestyle. Pacho and his 7 siblings had to learn cruelties of life through the callous demand of protection tribute by the local cartel branch, of which demanded most of the profit the Herrera homestead managed to collect. Scarcity began to be prevalent as bad harvests occurred, and Pacho grew to resent his life being subject to the whims of the cartels. He sought to become someone who would call the shots, to be the stronger man, and thus dawned a drive to become superior in every way. Certain observations of the local wildlife around the homestead made by Pacho led to a major insight about arid farming, of which he would sow cacti species to store precious water and organic material. The use of these cacti as fallow for the fields of crops led to miniature oasis generation for each plot of land, leading to greater yields. Although backbreaking work, the results were enough to improve the life of his family.

The additional profits from Pacho's breakthrough afforded him a proper education within the nearest town, and he would use his time to find additional ways to improve the output of farming in the region, whether output or practices. This focus led him to become successful enough as a student to attend a major university. Specializing in agricultural chemistry, Pacho manage to get a foothold in the fertilizer industry as a researcher for more potent recipes. During his attendance, the Herrera family had begun to draw the ire of the aforementioned local cartel branch, of which the cartel demanded gradually higher tribute payments for the same protection. However, it was untold to Pacho as his family did not want to worry him. The demands became unreasonable at a certain point, forcing to Herrera family to default on payments and owe the cartel. To make an example, some gangers proceeded to massacre the Herrera family, leaving Pacho to be the last survivor and none the wary.

Coordinating the industrial-size shipment of a new prototype fertilizer, boasting an estimated 50% improved crop yield for the tradeoff of increased volatility, Pacho was stationed at on a commercial freighter port on the west coast of Aztlan. Actively ensuring that the implementation of the prototype fertilizer recipe, Pacho did not know of the danger he was in as he was targeted by the cartel. On a fateful day aboard the cargo freighter, Pacho was approached by several armed sicarios who promptly bounded and began to question him about addition tribute payments. Believing that the tribute has been covered, he began to argue with the sicarios about how the Herrera's have been faithful in their tributes. Thinking of Pacho's statements as lies, the sicarios began to attach weights to Pacho's bindings and dragged him to the edge of the freighter, amid a frantic and pleading protest. It was useless. Pacho began to reminisce of his early years and focused on his drive to become better than the bastards who have loomed over his family long enough. With words like razor blades, Pacho tore into the lead sicario's ego and purpose, stating that they will never achieve anything higher than being the lapdog of the large cartels. That sicario took those insults personally, and with a show of pride, began to light a cigar and talk face to face with Pacho. He was 'lectured' about his place as something akin to a feral dog, and that a dog who bites the hand that feeds them needs to be put down; he then proceeded to shove his lit cigar into Pacho's temple and urge the others to toss him overboard. However, the distinct mistake was made by that sicario to toss his cigar over his shoulder, unfortunately landing into the cargo compartment of the volatile fertilizer. Before the sicarios could subject Pacho to a watery grave, 'ignition'...

Beautiful images filled Pacho in those slow 2 seconds. The slowly separating limbs and head of that sicario who just branded him with a cigar. Another getting pancaked by metal panels. And above all, a divine warmth wrapping over Pacho's body, engulfing and welcoming him into a moment of catharsis, the truest form of existence, everyone separating into pieces, atoms to atoms. A final crescendo of the blaze to glory.

Awaking, serenity and bliss were experienced by Pacho, most likely the anesthetics he was pumped full of. Surgery of all things, pulverized bones, missing arms, and horrifyingly severe burns. Ejected they talk about, found by passersby in a state resembling a corpse. Pacho had the luck of surviving through his positioning being so close to the edge of the ship, being ejected onto a loading pier. His injuries resulted in Pacho needed new arms and a leg, and what would be the most excruciating pain of burns around his whole body. Pacho spent months recovering, dropping all his savings into barely passable limbs and the wall of medical bills; his mental state was deemed satisfactory to resume normal life, but unknown to medical professionals Pacho changed. From his front row seat with the mother of all explosions, he saw the truth behind life in his eyes. The consolidation of energy into life and the vibrant release of that life being broken up into its purest form. It could have been faster, it could have been more extravagant, it could have been improved...

Slumping back to what he remembered to be his homestead, Pacho was met with the charred remains of his old house and the rotting corpses of his family. He got to work cleaning up, watching the flaming pyre he had placed their bodies; Pacho was torn between his confusion of why he did not know, resentment beyond anything experienced before for the bastards who did this, and a calming soothe of the crackling flame. Memories were seen playing out in the illumination of those flames, and Pacho realized a greater truth. We all are made of a beautiful recipe, one greater than the sum of their parts, but we will never know what those parts are until we see them released one by one, through a caring flame.

Through editorial assumptions, the region where Pacho lived saw the obituaries of the Herrera family, his included. His life of normalcy was over, but his search to become superior grew into an unstoppable flame. He began to experiment with the volatility of common items and made unorthodox weaponry to eliminate the rest of the local branch of the cartel who haunted his family. The only influential member left was the main boss of the town, striking after a meeting with the next rung of the ladder.

A small church was the meeting place, late at night. Lest the house of God would watch over your safety, bask in his proverbial glory and warmth. A meeting with heightened tensions, raised voices, and disgruntled faces, Pacho did not care. The main boss who permitted the massacre of his family, marches to his car in the parking lot, gets in and pulls out his keys. Ignition... Night turned into day for a brief moment as the wreck of a car launches into the air and crashes to the ground. The higher rung of the cartel branch and his goons rush out to see the fireworks, only to see a fiery wreck still cooking ammunition off and a disheveled man laughing hysterically on a bench next to the entrance. The man had no fear that there were several goons now aiming to kill him, he only saw a glimpse and a hope of seeing that beautiful light again. The leader began to laugh that the wreckage, telling his guys to calm down. Instead of getting a back full a lead, Pacho received a job offer, an enforcer of the higher cartel; the money was good, but Pacho was excited about the chance keep searching for the perfect explosion.

Car bombs, tampered fuel lines, plane crashes, all 'accidents'. Pacho was good at making things look accidental, but was better at making a point to the cartel's rivals. Stay in your lane, lest you want to live in fear of the next object you interact with exploding in your face.

===Summary===
Pacho Herrera is a true-to-form ''sicario'' from Mexico, hell-bent on achieving an ''obsesión último'' regarding explosives. A graduate of the ''Universidad de la Ciudad de México (UCM)'' with a degree in industrial chemistry, Pacho turned to the Bloodhounds cartel following an 'incident' involving a cargo freighter filled with ammonium nitrate-based fertilizer. His knowledge in chemistry and his newfound obsession with explosive reactions proved useful to the cartel, leading to a fulfilling career as a dramatic bomb maker and enforcer of failed intimidation. Pacho now is stationed in Seattle to make an example of a certain ''cliente'' who displeased the Bloodhounds.

===Goals===
- To find and exact the cartel's will onto the ''cliente'' located in Seattle for failing to uphold their end of the 'deal'.

- Seeking to improve the influence and reach of the Bloodhounds into the north, starting with Seattle.

- Religiously pursue a new chemical formula and conditions to create an explosive impact the world will not forget.

==Background==
Pacho's childhood consisted of toiling in the fields and pastures of his family's homestead in Aztlan. Not being the most affluent, all the children of the Herrera family worked from an early age to sustain the agricultural lifestyle. Pacho and his 7 siblings had to learn cruelties of life through the callous demand of protection tribute by the local cartel branch, of which demanded most of the profit the Herrera homestead managed to collect. Scarcity began to be prevalent as bad harvests occurred, and Pacho grew to resent his life being subject to the whims of the cartels. He sought to become someone who would call the shots, to be the stronger man, and thus dawned a drive to become superior in every way. Certain observations of the local wildlife around the homestead made by Pacho led to a major insight about arid farming, of which he would sow cacti species to store precious water and organic material. The use of these cacti as fallow for the fields of crops led to miniature oasis generation for each plot of land, leading to greater yields. Although backbreaking work, the results were enough to improve the life of his family.

The additional profits from Pacho's breakthrough afforded him a proper education within the nearest town, and he would use his time to find additional ways to improve the output of farming in the region, whether output or practices. This focus led him to become successful enough as a student to attend a major university. Specializing in agricultural chemistry, Pacho manage to get a foothold in the fertilizer industry as a researcher for more potent recipes. During his attendance, the Herrera family had begun to draw the ire of the aforementioned local cartel branch, of which the cartel demanded gradually higher tribute payments for the same protection. However, it was untold to Pacho as his family did not want to worry him. The demands became unreasonable at a certain point, forcing to Herrera family to default on payments and owe the cartel. To make an example, some gangers proceeded to massacre the Herrera family, leaving Pacho to be the last survivor and none the wary.

Coordinating the industrial-size shipment of a new prototype fertilizer, boasting an estimated 50% improved crop yield for the tradeoff of increased volatility, Pacho was stationed at on a commercial freighter port on the west coast of Aztlan. Actively ensuring that the implementation of the prototype fertilizer recipe, Pacho did not know of the danger he was in as he was targeted by the cartel. On a fateful day aboard the cargo freighter, Pacho was approached by several armed sicarios who promptly bounded and began to question him about addition tribute payments. Believing that the tribute has been covered, he began to argue with the sicarios about how the Herrera's have been faithful in their tributes. Thinking of Pacho's statements as lies, the sicarios began to attach weights to Pacho's bindings and dragged him to the edge of the freighter, amid a frantic and pleading protest. It was useless. Pacho began to reminisce of his early years and focused on his drive to become better than the bastards who have loomed over his family long enough. With words like razor blades, Pacho tore into the lead sicario's ego and purpose, stating that they will never achieve anything higher than being the lapdog of the large cartels. That sicario took those insults personally, and with a show of pride, began to light a cigar and talk face to face with Pacho. He was 'lectured' about his place as something akin to a feral dog, and that a dog who bites the hand that feeds them needs to be put down; he then proceeded to shove his lit cigar into Pacho's temple and urge the others to toss him overboard. However, the distinct mistake was made by that sicario to toss his cigar over his shoulder, unfortunately landing into the cargo compartment of the volatile fertilizer. Before the sicarios could subject Pacho to a watery grave, 'ignition'...

Beautiful images filled Pacho in those slow 2 seconds. The slowly separating limbs and head of that sicario who just branded him with a cigar. Another getting pancaked by metal panels. And above all, a divine warmth wrapping over Pacho's body, engulfing and welcoming him into a moment of catharsis, the truest form of existence, everyone separating into pieces, atoms to atoms. A final crescendo of the blaze to glory.

Awaking, serenity and bliss were experienced by Pacho, most likely the anesthetics he was pumped full of. Surgery of all things, pulverized bones, missing arms, and horrifyingly severe burns. Ejected they talk about, found by passersby in a state resembling a corpse. Pacho had the luck of surviving through his positioning being so close to the edge of the ship, being ejected onto a loading pier. His injuries resulted in Pacho needed new arms and a leg, and what would be the most excruciating pain of burns around his whole body. Pacho spent months recovering, dropping all his savings into barely passable limbs and the wall of medical bills; his mental state was deemed satisfactory to resume normal life, but unknown to medical professionals Pacho changed. From his front row seat with the mother of all explosions, he saw the truth behind life in his eyes. The consolidation of energy into life and the vibrant release of that life being broken up into its purest form. It could have been faster, it could have been more extravagant, it could have been improved...

Slumping back to what he remembered to be his homestead, Pacho was met with the charred remains of his old house and the rotting corpses of his family. He got to work cleaning up, watching the flaming pyre he had placed their bodies; Pacho was torn between his confusion of why he did not know, resentment beyond anything experienced before for the bastards who did this, and a calming soothe of the crackling flame. Memories were seen playing out in the illumination of those flames, and Pacho realized a greater truth. We all are made of a beautiful recipe, one greater than the sum of their parts, but we will never know what those parts are until we see them released one by one, through a caring flame.

Through editorial assumptions, the region where Pacho lived saw the obituaries of the Herrera family, his included. His life of normalcy was over, but his search to become superior grew into an unstoppable flame. He began to experiment with the volatility of common items and made unorthodox weaponry to eliminate the rest of the local branch of the cartel who haunted his family. The only influential member left was the main boss of the town, striking after a meeting with the next rung of the ladder.

A small church was the meeting place, late at night. Lest the house of God would watch over your safety, bask in his proverbial glory and warmth. A meeting with heightened tensions, raised voices, and disgruntled faces, Pacho did not care. The main boss who permitted the massacre of his family, marches to his car in the parking lot, gets in and pulls out his keys. Ignition... Night turned into day for a brief moment as the wreck of a car launches into the air and crashes to the ground. The higher rung of the cartel branch and his goons rush out to see the fireworks, only to see a fiery wreck still cooking ammunition off and a disheveled man laughing hysterically on a bench next to the entrance. The man had no fear that there were several goons now aiming to kill him, he only saw a glimpse and a hope of seeing that beautiful light again. The leader began to laugh that the wreckage, telling his guys to calm down. Instead of getting a back full a lead, Pacho received a job offer, an enforcer of the higher cartel; the money was good, but Pacho was excited about the chance keep searching for the perfect explosion.

Car bombs, tampered fuel lines, plane crashes, all 'accidents'. Pacho was good at making things look accidental, but was better at making a point to the cartel's rivals. Stay in your lane, lest you want to live in fear of the next object you interact with exploding in your face.
