=Faction Information=
A staple of the Seattle Nightlife, Dante's Inferno is also very poorly covered in 5E texts. The below work is almost entirely the work of, and attributed to, Eric Faber of Airborne Ham Games, with our sincere thanks. Mechanics, stat blocks, and the like have been elaborated by Rob and the Thematics team.

IMPORTANT! Runs using Dante Passini, Alessio, Charon, or any named NPC require a Run Proposal. Runs that are simply placed at the Inferno, even on a private level by a run's Johnson, however, do not. Happy gaming!

==Summary==

[[File:InfernoDrawing.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|The ''Map of Hell'' painting by Sandro Botticelli. ]]

Perhaps the premier nightspot in Seattle, Dante’s Inferno has earned its place at the very top with a long history of devotion to the motto “nothing succeeds like excess.” One of three sister-nightclubs (the other two in London and Hong Kong), the Inferno takes the theme of “Nine Circles of Sin” quite literally, having nine levels. The first seven are associated with the Seven Deadly Sins; guests enter at the topmost level and descend to the increasingly select and rarified depths, weeded out by the Inferno’s door-staff and the wishes of the club’s manager and
its owner, Dante Passini.

At the lowest levels are Purgatory (“where there’s a promise of getting into Heaven”) and Hell (“where you forget all about Heaven”). These are invitation-only, open to Dante’s favored few and the rich and famous of the Seattle nightlife scene. A ticket into Hell is a sure sign you have truly arrived in the Emerald City. With fantastic AR displays complementing transparent floors and spiral staircases, and full-service bars and menus on each level, there’s more than enough sin at Dante’s to go around, so pace yourself!

<div style="border: 1px solid lime; padding: 10px; background-color: black;">
<pre style="color: lime">

>You have to hand it to Dante. The Inferno, like a snooty French restaurant, makes being discriminated against part of the experience, but they do it in style. For example, a fantastic wrought-iron staircase spirals around the outside of the club so guests enter from the top floor and make their way down, meaning the lowest floors are the most exclusive. So, if you have to stand in line for hours, you might as well do it with a great view, right? The stairs have a canopy, so Dante’s can accommodate much longer lines than other clubs, and people are willing to go there just to be seen waiting in line!
>Khan-A-Saur

>Dante himself is an increasingly rare sight at the Seattle Inferno, as he prefers his townhouse in London and spends more of his time there. The nightly affairs are in the well-manicured hands of the manager, an elf named Alessio; always dressed sharp enough to cut you in the latest designer suits, his bald head covered with animated tattoos of hellish torments and delights and his solid black cybereyes reflecting the hot glimmer of flames, even when there are none present.
>Ethernaut

>The Inferno sometimes rents out Purgatory and Hell for private parties, which include a very nice security package, making them ideal for those get-togethers where nobody wants to be disturbed, or have their image captured.

==Sinful Security==
===Physical Security: Charon, the Ferryman===
<pre>
Charon, Head of Security:

Should you ever need to meet the Head of Security for the Inferno, understand that your night as it was is over. Charon, regardless of if his name was picked before or after working at the Inferno, takes his role as the 'Ferryman of Souls' quite seriously. By the time he has gotten involved, numerous warnings have been given by bartenders, staff, and lesser security. Charon choosing to involve himself only means one of two things - you are going back up to Limbo and out quickly... or you are going down to Hell and may never be seen again.

"Charon, Head of Security" has the following stats as is considered a TL 12 Opponent.
Metatype: Ork
Magic: Charon is an "Athlete's Way" Barehanded Mystical Adept who burned out to add bioware and has since bought his magic score back to 7. His exact level of Initiation is unknown but he clearly has a few under his belt.
Cyberware: Platlet Factories, Double Elastin, etc.
</pre>

<pre>
Limbo to Wrath: Princes of Hell

The upper floors of the Inferno are populated by guards of a variety of metatypes and 'builds', from cyberware augmented warriors to magically enhanced mages and physical adepts. Universally, they are dressed as the various Princes of Hell, taking on liberal literary license with the following classical Demons: Vassago, Sitri, Ipos, Gaap, Stolas, Orobas, and Seir.

A "Prince of Hell" has the following stats as is considered a TL 6 Grunt
Metatype: Any
Magic: Many of the Princes are aspected Magicians or physical Adepts with a magic score of 4 but no bioware or cyberware
Cyberware: Many of the Princes possess Wired Reflexes as well as dermal plating, Limb Replacement, and so forth, usually in Standard or Alpha grade.
</pre>

<pre>
Sloth to Purgatory: Dukes of Hell

The lower levels of the Inferno possess guards that present with a much more refined air. While the general premises of "demonhood" are a running motif, these guards are more likely to be dressed in Mortimer of London as opposed to leather jackets with spikes on them. Guards who are augmented tend to have higher grades of augmentation as well as a larger suite of upgrades while magically aware guards tend to be full magicians or mystic adepts. They style themselves after the Dukes of Hell, taking liberties with the Classical Demons: Amdusias, Agares, Valefar, Barbatos, Augusyon, Eligos, Zepar, Bathin, Saleos, Aim, Buné, Berith, Astaroth, Focalor, Vepar, Vual, Crocell, Allocer, Murmur, Gemory, Vapula, Flauros, and Dantalion.

A "Duke of Hell" has the following stats as is considered a TL 8 Grunt
Metatype: Any
Magic: Many of the Dukes are Full Magicians or Mystic Adepts with a magic score of 6 and the potential for some light bioware.
Cyberware: Much of the above, augmented Dukes possess cyberware and bioware in order to make them tougher and faster, usually in a Beta grade.
</pre>

<pre>
Hell: Kings of Hell

The lowest level of Hell is reserved for those members of Charon's staff who have earned his trust. They are unfailingly loyal to Dante and Charon and by far the equal of any High Threat Response Team, often serving in that role should something occur on the grounds of the Inferno that requires such a swift and effective response. They are only ever seen in their Full Body Armor which is patterned after the various Kings of Hell, and like their lesser ranked peers on Charon's staff, they take artistic liberties with the following Classical Demons: Baal, Paimon, Beleth, Purson, Asmodeus, Vine, Balam, Zagan, and Belial.

A "King of Hell" has the following stats as is considered a TL 10 Grunt
Metatype: Any
Notes: Charon recruits a very narrow band of people for his personal lieutenants who rule in Hell - Burnout Revenant Adepts with high magic scores and delta grade cyberware. Each King of Hell, additionally, has memory headware that allows their memory to be wiped of anything they witness while on duty in Hell - something that is likely a blessing in disguise for them.
</pre>

===Matrix Security: Spiders in the Spirals===
<pre>
The Host: Acheron, the City of Fear

Host Type: Destination (Kill Code, pg. 44)
Host Rating: 7 (A4 S5 D10 F9)
Host Themes: Icons and Persona present in Acheron need to be modeled to fit some kind of sin and sufferer or a direct mirror of a person's appearance - demons and the like are expressly reserved for use by staff.
</pre>

<pre>
Spiders in the Spiral:

Given the clandestine nature of many of the meetings that occur at Dante's, Matrix Security is tight. It can be reasonably expected that there are hidden cameras on every level except for Hell, motion sensors and laser grids on any non-standard entrances, and the most bleeding edge security devices that money can buy.

Any individual Spider working to defend Acheron can be reasonably expected to have a number of colleagues to call in the moment something goes sideways. Furthermore, they will almost always have the cutting edge deck - Dante Passini pays well because he knows the safety of his guests is the key to staying in business.

A Security Spider working for Dante is a TL 10 opponent and, notably, will not hesitate to Link Lock and Biofeedback someone to death who is trying to compromise the matrix security.
</pre>

===Astral Security: Hellish Cherubim===
<pre>
Wards and Barriers

As part of the decorations for the Inferno, a keen eye will spot the anchors of a number of layered Wards which offer one more level of added security and protection to guests while they sin the night away. Guests attending the upper levels are expected to drop any magical protections on the way in, however, once someone has acquired a membership to Dante's via the "Patron of the Arts" lifestyle element, they can be considered to have done the necessary work to be 'whitelisted' to the wards and allowed to pass through with their magic intact.

Of note, no one is EVER whitelisted for the wards in Hell.

There are three layers to magical protection around Dante's Inferno:
* A Force 10 Mana Barrier covers the entire building
* A Force 15 Mana Barrier covers Hell, exclusively
* A Force 15 Obfuscation Ward also covers Hell
* A Force 6 Alarm Ward exists on all offices and "staff only" areas.
</pre>

<pre>
Hellish Cherubim:

Patrolling throughout the various levels of the Inferno are a number of watcher spirits as well as guard spirits. Summoned to fit the motif of the Inferno, these spirits are universally some twisted imp or demonic cherub and eagerly pounce on troublemakers.

Spirits present at Dante's:
* Force 8 Watcher Spirits at exits and entrances
* Force 12 Guardian Spirits on each level
</pre>

<pre>
The Fires of the Inferno: Aspected Background Count

Outside of the Inferno, the Background Count is the 'standard' Seattle 2, however once inside it increases to a 3 and progresses as follows:
Limbo to Wrath: 3
Sloth to Purgatory: 4
Hell: 6

If playing with the Mana Aspect rules:
* Each floor is aspected to its theme and follows the same numbers as above.
* Notably Wrath is aspected to mindless violence, whereas Hell itself is aspected towards torture, brutal violence, and murder
</pre>

===Access, Guest Lists, and Assorted Strangness===
<div style="border: 1px solid yellow; padding: 10px; background-color: black;">
<pre style="color: yellow">
IMPORTANT! Consider the following rules of Dante's Inferno carefully
</pre>
</div>

* '''Weapons''': Concealed weapons are allowed on site, given the frequent clientele of the Inferno, but anything with a concealability modifier higher than 0 must be left behind or checked at the door with Charon's staff. Further, such holdout weapons need to be registered with the staff and remain in a Wireless-On status so they can be monitored.
* '''Magic''': No spells are allowed to be sustained while on property of the Inferno without explicit permission of the management.
* '''Violence''': "Friendly" fist fights on Wrath are not unheard of, but closely monitored. Any violence on any of the other levels will be grounds for being removed rather forcibly.
* '''Murder''': The unwritten rule of Dante's Inferno is that no business is conducted on the grounds of the Inferno. Any violation of that is a one way ticket to Hell, in a literal and figurative sense.
* '''Infected''': There is almost no way to avoid being 'made' - and while there is not an explicit rule, Dante's has a vested interest in the safety of its rich clientele. Aware bouncers and close scrutiny means most Infected are politely, yet firmly, turned away.
* '''Drakes''': While Drakes can reasonably certain that they have been 'made', they have the protection of their draconic heritage and the fear of pissing off some Great Dragon somewhere in the family tree. As such, while it will be clear that the security staff knows, they won't say a thing about it - and that expectation goes both ways as the Drake is expected to be on their best behavior.
* '''Cyborgs''': The presence of MAD Scanners means that most cyborgs can expect to be likewise made, and while they have the theoretical protection of being corporate assets, they can expect to be extensively questioned before being allowed in and under constant surveillance the entire time.

<div style="border: 1px solid lime; padding: 10px; background-color: black;">
<pre style="color: lime">
>Getting past the security can be a pain, yea, but I've heard some of the more subtle infected coughcoughcoughcoughvampirescoughcoughcough can sometimes get away with it. Not sure if it's something to do with masking, bribery, or heated clothing. Granted, the front door gives super obvious ones the boot, but I'm sure a few sneak by.
>Captain C0SM0S

>The rule is 'no infected'. I mean, even outside runners, Dante's has a huge business with the mafia, the yaks, the rich and fancy with their 500 nooj cow dinner. There's no reason to let some hungry vamp in and frag up the PR and word of mouth. Hell, I don't wanna run with them and I'm not worried about private security while I drink and dance. I mean, I WILL - cash is cash, but if I gotta run, I'd rather not be running every night with a 'teammate' that's gonna eat me.

<div style="border: 1px solid yellow; padding: 10px; background-color: black;">
<pre style="color: yellow">
Mechanics for Vampires accessing Dante's Inferno:

Any obvious infected is not able to access Dante's and will be turned away at the door. Vampires, being some of the less obvious ones, can sometimes get away with covering their vampiric nature enough to maintain a membership. An Vampire Character should roll (Magic + Initiate Grade + Relevant Foci) - BGC of the floor vs. an opposed 16 Dice for Assensing on behalf of the security team. Failure means that the vampire has been spotted and asked to leave. If a given vampire is spotted, they will be escorted from the Inferno and their membership revoked.

This check can be Pre or Post edged but that decision must be made before the opposed roll. Spent Edge follows all the "spending Edge during downtime" rules, meaning that the Edge is not available on the next table.

This roll should happen on every entrance and, once inside, roughly every hour or so of in-game time. For downtime scenes, players are expected to more or less gauge when those rolls happen for themselves - i.e. when about an hour has passed in the scene.

Perhaps obviously, any attempt to conduct an Essence Drain on site will be rather immediately spotted, interrupted, and resolved.

Should a Vampire Character reach Loyalty 4 with Dante Passini, they will be given special permission to attend the Inferno. Security will be informed about their nature and they will be allowed to pass unmolested; however, a single instance of any kind of predation on his guests will see their membership revoked, their name added to the Ban list, and their Loyalty with Dante will drop to a permanent 0.
</pre>
</div>

==Major Locations==
===Entrance===
The nine story building, taking up its own city block, is actually dwarfed by the surrounding architecture of downtown. Because of this, sky bridges from neighboring buildings stretch across the streets to the top of the Inferno and act as the only way to reach the entrance of the club, apart from the private landing pad on the roof.

Upon arrival, bouncers under the order of Charon, the club’s head of security, weed out the undesirables at the entrance to the first level. There, anybody who is allowed in has two options: party in limbo or try to go deeper. A stairway spirals around the exterior of the building from top to bottom, stopping off at each floor along the way. At each level, another team of bouncers wait to judge whether you are allowed to go deeper. If not, you go into the layer you are on or are asked to leave.

Access: Public - anyone can come to the entrance, but not everyone gets in.

<div style="border: 1px solid lime; padding: 10px; background-color: black;">
<pre style="color: lime">
>Nobody knows if Charon took the name to keep with the club’s theme or if it just worked out for him. Either way, the name fits his role. Charon and his guys are the ones who pick and choose who gets into the Inferno, following any specific directions from Dante or Alessio of course.
>The Fitz
</pre>
</div>

===8th Floor: Limbo===
The layer that is open to the public, Limbo is a pretty standard nightclub experience while still maintaining the hellish theme of the whole club. It does not represent any particular sin or vice, but instead represents the section of hell that all people go if they do not accept a pious life. By allowing anyone in, it shows that anyone who wants to can get into hell, but the real sinners go further.

“Anyone” is a misleading statement when referring to who is allowed into the first layer of the club. While it is officially open to the public, bouncers at the door allow only the elite, well-known, wealthy, or attractive individuals to enter the club. Only those with invitations or higher status get to the lower levels.

Access: High Lifestyle or above to pay the cover fee

<div style="border: 1px solid lime; padding: 10px; background-color: black;">
<pre style="color: lime">
>Getting into Limbo isn’t difficult if you can clean yourself up. If you look rich, or at least look good, you can get in. Smooth-talk Charon’s guys at the door and you can probably get in even if you ain’t that pretty. Main thing is that they don’t want chummers making the place look like some Puyallup dump, so they hand pick the clientele to maintain a high-class atmosphere.
>Blackout
</pre>
</div>

===7th Floor: Lust===
The first layer of the club that is off limits without invitation or prominence, Lust is a strip club. Walking down the stairs into Lust, you are met with the slowly growing scent of sweat and sex. Inside, stages, cages, and poles are scattered around the large room. Dancers of every race, sex, and cybermod niche are on full display showing off to the visitors. While most dancers are hands-off, there are several who can take you in for a “private dance” where you go behind closed doors and get a one-on-one experience.

Access: Luxury Lifestyle to pay cover fee or Patron of the Arts

<div style="border: 1px solid lime; padding: 10px; background-color: black;">
<pre style="color: lime">
>This whole experience is just not the same without access to the bar. Like any bar, it serves a variety of drinks and drugs. However, Lust also serves a plethora of SimSense soft to enhance the patron's experience. If you ever wanted to feel the urge to hump everything that moves, and even some things that don’t, Lust is the place for you.
>Oz, the Wiz

>If you are easily offended by nudity, you might want to keep out of Lust. If you have an obscure fetish you need to indulge, you, chummer, have found the right place. Just be sure to know which kinks get private dances before you go prodding around for a romp with the dancers. Nobody likes a sleaze, not even at a strip joint.
>C088

>While sex and nudity are the primary features of the second circle of the Inferno, it is also important to keep in mind that information flows more in Lust than anywhere else. Below Limbo, only VIPs can get in, but they have a tendency to be more distracted while staring at a pair of elf tits than just lounging around a club. With the added bonus of being the least restrictive VIP level, the patrons of Lust are a bit less careful about what they say to strangers. If you can get down one set of stairs, you get one of the best opportunities to be in the know. WIth that said, the view through the glass floor above does have a better angle to look down girls’ shirts.
>Morris Kimiyo
</pre>
</div>

===6th Floor: Gluttony===
Below Lust is Gluttony, the gourmet restaurant for the extremely VIP in Seattle. While all the layers of the Inferno serve food, this is where you go if you want the premiere Seattle dining experience. Still maintaining the hellish nightclub atmosphere with the matching glass dance floor in the middle, the booths and tables around the third level are for visitors seeking to have their “last meal.” For a measly 500¥, a visitor to Gluttony orders the only available option, entitled the Last Meal. This entails a sort of all-you-can-eat dinner of anything on the menu. Almost any imaginable food, even non-soy delicacies, can be ordered at no end. It is truly the most elite level of dining in downtown Seattle.

Access: Patron of the Arts (Dante's)

<div style="border: 1px solid lime; padding: 10px; background-color: black;">
<pre style="color: lime">
>While the bosses who need absolute privacy use Hell or Purgatory, Gluttony is where lots of the higher-ups in the mobs and the Yaks hold their “casual” meetings. It is still a night-club, so it is loud and hard to overhear conversations, but it is also a restaurant, so they get to have a long conversation over a meal with less fear of eavesdropping.
>The Fitz

>The Last Meal is technically the best deal in town on non-soy food, but only if you can hold it all down. Gluttony doesn’t give chummers who can’t finish their meal any sort of carry-home box, so if you don’t eat your ¥500 worth, you don’t get your money back. But if you find a tricky way to sneak some out, you could probably make a profit selling real cow meat on the street.
>Oz, the Wiz
</pre>
</div>

===5th Floor: Greed===
If you want to throw away your money at the most premiere casino in Seattle, you need to find your way down to the fourth layer of Dante’s Inferno. Greed has a reputation for big payouts and crushing losses. People have both earned and lost their fortunes and status there, although primarily the latter. While all casinos admit that their games are weighted towards the house, Greed has designed their games so that payouts happen few and far between. The lure to be seen gambling at the Inferno is enough to drive people to keep playing and keep losing, although the occasional billionaire jackpot is something everyone secretly hopes for.

Access: Patron of the Arts (Dante's)

<div style="border: 1px solid lime; padding: 10px; background-color: black;">
<pre style="color: lime">
>Gambling at Greed might seem like a good time, maybe even a good idea, but if you manage to ask someone who has lost everything at the Inferno, I bet they tell you to stop before you even started. I say “manage” because chances are, chummer, that you ain’t ever gonna see them again. We say they sold their soul to the Inferno for a reason, because the drek that ends up in debt to the house at Greed never turn up.
>Morris Kimiyo

>They never turn up because they get forced to work with the Yaks to pay off their debts. Everyone knows the Inferno has those ties and I’ve heard that sometimes they turn up doing suicide missions sometimes. Of course the soulless won’t get out alive, and I’m sure they know that. That’s why they get dragged off kicking and screaming when they lose everything at the club.
>C088

>We ain’t working for… I mean, the Yaks ain’t working for Dante. I’ve never heard that rumor before. You’re wrong.
>Morris Kimiyo

>Yeah, okay.
>C088
</pre>
</div>

===4th Floor: Wrath===
Every layer of the Inferno has, at its center, a large glass dance floor. On most levels, this is the epicenter of the nightclub atmosphere keeps consistency through the entire establishment. For example, while Lust has many stages and cages around the room for the paid dancers to perform, the center of the room is occupied by a glass dance floor that club-goers use for their own revelries. Looking down through the floor from Lust, you see a similar sight on the restaurant level of Gluttony, although usually less provocative or generally less crowded. Below that, Greed’s dance floor is identical as well. The first level of the Inferno to break this theme is Wrath.

While it still has the large glass floor in the center of the room, the dancing and partying takes place around the outer walls of the room. The type of dancing is also a bit different than on other floors. Giant crowds of violent moshing surrounds the floor in a pulsating mass. SimSense served at Wrath’s bar promotes a violent and aggressive atmosphere of danger.

Looking down from above, you would still see the center stage, although it is often covered by small splatters of blood with silhouettes of only two individuals. On the fifth layer of Dante’s Inferno, the main attraction is full contact combat sports. Not the lethal blood sports of the underground scene, the boxing (both cyber and non-cyber events), mixed martial arts, and freestyle fights are held nightly at the Wrath combat arena and often aired on trideo broadcasts. Sometimes even high-profile Combat Biker events are hosted by the Inferno, but Dante doesn’t usually grant access to the individuals that attracts. Usually, the thrill of indulging in primal brutality draws huge crowds, but the fact that you need to reach the fifth layer of the Inferno to do so makes Wrath an exclusive and exhilarating experience.

Access: Patron of the Arts (Dante's), or by Invitation if competing

<div style="border: 1px solid lime; padding: 10px; background-color: black;">
<pre style="color: lime">
>Wrath is not only a pipe dream to get into for most of Seattle’s high-class, but it’s fighters are carefully selected from the best of the best. If a boxer of any weight class gets a chance to fight, let alone headline, a night at Wrath, they have made it. Winning nightly fights gets you closer to headlining, headlining gets you incredible fame. Fighting at the Inferno is the height of any career.
>The Fitz
</pre>
</div>

===3rd Floor: Sloth===
To get to the sixth layer of Dante’s Inferno, you have stood in line for hours, walked down six floors of stairs, and are among the most elite and wealthy individuals in Seattle. By the time you reach Sloth, you are ready for a relaxed yet exhilarating nightclub experience.

Sloth is a SimSense Parlour. However, not only does it let you have the exact experience you desire, it lets you do so in one of the most elite and exclusive settings in all of Seattle. In fact, when compared in exclusivity, Sloth is rated fourth in Seattle, behind the three lower layers in the inferno itself. Patrons at Sloth can choose from a collection of nearly a trillion different unique, full-immersion, SimSense experiences. At Sloth, you can submit to the most relaxing of the seven sins while having the time of your life.

Access: Patron of the Arts (Dante's)

<div style="border: 1px solid lime; padding: 10px; background-color: black;">
<pre style="color: lime">
>Don’t think that a SimSense parlour in the most exclusive club in the world is going to be legal and safe. If you know who to talk to, and if you made your way to Sloth it’s very likely that you do, you can get unlimited access to BTLs. The sixth layer of the Inferno advertises itself as a classy place to relax and have a fraggin’ great time, but we all know it’s just as sleazy as any dive bar in Redmond.
>Oz, the Wiz
</pre>
</div>

===2nd Floor: Envy and Pride===
Seven stories down from the publicly open Limbo is the layer of the Inferno that Seattle’s most elite and wealthy individuals gather to prove their superiority to the rest of metahumanity. Sharing a floor, Envy and Pride represent the two sins that fill a similar, if opposing role. The most influential people in Seattle full of pride while everyone above them envies.

Being as exclusive as it is, Envy and Pride is usually a very quiet club. On a busy night it might have twenty patrons mingling in their triumph. Very few have invitations to Envy and Pride. Everyone on the list is familiar with the others and, while you may not care for them, knows the formalities for each individual interaction. Because of this, several of the layer’s guests use it for private meetings and can expect that any other visitors will leave. Envy and Pride is as private of a room as you can get without paying for it.

Access: By special permission of [[Dante Passini]] or [[Alessio]] only. Requires a Loyalty of 4 or Higher with either of them.

<div style="border: 1px solid lime; padding: 10px; background-color: black;">
<pre style="color: lime">
>This makes it seem like there are a variety of people allowed in Envy and Pride. Believe me, there are so few people on that list that a troll could count them all, and I’m not exaggerating. And not only are there less people than drinks on the menu, they almost all work for the Yaks or have some connection to them.
>Blackout

>They don’t all have connections to the Yakuza. I’ve heard the mayor spends some weekends there.
>Morris Kimiyo

>I don’t mean to offend you, chummer, but if the mayor wasn’t taking bribes from you Yaks and letting you run the streets of downtown, he wouldn’t be allowed anywhere near Envy and Pride, let alone have an open invitation.
>C088

>Well said.
>Blackout
</pre>
</div>

===1st / Ground Floor: Purgatory===
The ground floor that can be rented out for a only 10,000¥ an hour, Purgatory is advertised as the last chance to get into heaven. Apart from being an exclusive venue cut off from the rest of the Inferno, it is similar to Limbo as it lacks a defined theme. The only trait truly unique to purgatory is that the dance floor in the center is not made of a clear glass that lets you see into the levels below, but instead acts as an enormous mirror that reflects up to the seven layers of sinful indulgence above.

Access: By special permission of [[Dante Passini]] or [[Alessio]] (Via Loyalty 4+) or by a fee of 10,000 Nuyen per hour.

<div style="border: 1px solid lime; padding: 10px; background-color: black;">
<pre style="color: lime">
>It’s not cheap, but Dante lets almost anybody with the nuyen to afford it rent out Purgatory. That means, if you don’t have the status to get invited to one of the lower layers, you can always pay your way lower. It’s often used as a private venue for rich kid’s birthday parties, but sometimes a Johnson will rent it out for a couple hours for some privacy when dealing with runners. But remember, there is still a giant glass window looking down from above. Those who want real privacy and have the connections to do so go deeper. When someone doesn’t want their business to be known, they go to Hell.
>The Fitz
</pre>
</div>

===Underground: Hell===
Underground, isolated, and as exclusive as it gets, Hell is where you forget all about getting into Heaven. Not only do you need to be able to afford the absurd price tag to use Dante’s private room of sin, vice, and debauchery, but you need to be amongst the people allowed to even ask. Most of the AAA corps have contacts with Dante or Alessio, as well as most of the big mobs, the Mafia, and, of course, the Yakuza. Nobody sets foot in Hell without Dante Passini’s knowledge and explicit permission. With that permission comes the guarantee that knowledge of who and when never leaves Dante himself. Charon and his men make sure that is the case with extra security and external surveillance. If you need to be alone and don’t want anybody to know about it, Hell is your place.

Another feature of Hell is the ability to indulge any sin or fetish you may have. Behind closed doors, nobody asks any questions and any requests are met.

A staple of the Seattle Nightlife, Dante's Inferno is also very poorly covered in 5E texts. The below work is almost entirely the work of, and attributed to, Eric Faber of Airborne Ham Games, with our sincere thanks. Mechanics, stat blocks, and the like have been elaborated by Rob and the Thematics team.

==Summary==

[[File:InfernoDrawing.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|The ''Map of Hell'' painting by Sandro Botticelli. ]]

Perhaps the premier nightspot in Seattle, Dante’s Inferno has earned its place at the very top with a long history of devotion to the motto “nothing succeeds like excess.” One of three sister-nightclubs (the other two in London and Hong Kong), the Inferno takes the theme of “Nine Circles of Sin” quite literally, having nine levels. The first seven are associated with the Seven Deadly Sins; guests enter at the topmost level and descend to the increasingly select and rarified depths, weeded out by the Inferno’s door-staff and the wishes of the club’s manager and
its owner, Dante Passini.

At the lowest levels are Purgatory (“where there’s a promise of getting into Heaven”) and Hell (“where you forget all about Heaven”). These are invitation-only, open to Dante’s favored few and the rich and famous of the Seattle nightlife scene. A ticket into Hell is a sure sign you have truly arrived in the Emerald City. With fantastic AR displays complementing transparent floors and spiral staircases, and full-service bars and menus on each level, there’s more than enough sin at Dante’s to go around, so pace yourself!

<div style="border: 1px solid lime; padding: 10px; background-color: black;">
<pre style="color: lime">

>You have to hand it to Dante. The Inferno, like a snooty French restaurant, makes being discriminated against part of the experience, but they do it in style. For example, a fantastic wrought-iron staircase spirals around the outside of the club so guests enter from the top floor and make their way down, meaning the lowest floors are the most exclusive. So, if you have to stand in line for hours, you might as well do it with a great view, right? The stairs have a canopy, so Dante’s can accommodate much longer lines than other clubs, and people are willing to go there just to be seen waiting in line!
>Khan-A-Saur

>Dante himself is an increasingly rare sight at the Seattle Inferno, as he prefers his townhouse in London and spends more of his time there. The nightly affairs are in the well-manicured hands of the manager, an elf named Alessio; always dressed sharp enough to cut you in the latest designer suits, his bald head covered with animated tattoos of hellish torments and delights and his solid black cybereyes reflecting the hot glimmer of flames, even when there are none present.
>Ethernaut

>The Inferno sometimes rents out Purgatory and Hell for private parties, which include a very nice security package, making them ideal for those get-togethers where nobody wants to be disturbed, or have their image captured.

==Sinful Security==
===Physical Security: Charon, the Ferryman===
<pre>
Charon, Head of Security:

Should you ever need to meet the Head of Security for the Inferno, understand that your night as it was is over. Charon, regardless of if his name was picked before or after working at the Inferno, takes his role as the 'Ferryman of Souls' quite seriously. By the time he has gotten involved, numerous warnings have been given by bartenders, staff, and lesser security. Charon choosing to involve himself only means one of two things - you are going back up to Limbo and out quickly... or you are going down to Hell and may never be seen again.

"Charon, Head of Security" has the following stats as is considered a TL 12 Opponent.
Metatype: Ork
Magic: Charon is an "Athlete's Way" Barehanded Mystical Adept who burned out to add bioware and has since bought his magic score back to 7. His exact level of Initiation is unknown but he clearly has a few under his belt.
Cyberware: Platlet Factories, Double Elastin, etc.
</pre>

<pre>
Limbo to Wrath: Princes of Hell

The upper floors of the Inferno are populated by guards of a variety of metatypes and 'builds', from cyberware augmented warriors to magically enhanced mages and physical adepts. Universally, they are dressed as the various Princes of Hell, taking on liberal literary license with the following classical Demons: Vassago, Sitri, Ipos, Gaap, Stolas, Orobas, and Seir.

A "Prince of Hell" has the following stats as is considered a TL 6 Grunt
Metatype: Any
Magic: Many of the Princes are aspected Magicians or physical Adepts with a magic score of 4 but no bioware or cyberware
Cyberware: Many of the Princes possess Wired Reflexes as well as dermal plating, Limb Replacement, and so forth, usually in Standard or Alpha grade.
</pre>

<pre>
Sloth to Purgatory: Dukes of Hell

The lower levels of the Inferno possess guards that present with a much more refined air. While the general premises of "demonhood" are a running motif, these guards are more likely to be dressed in Mortimer of London as opposed to leather jackets with spikes on them. Guards who are augmented tend to have higher grades of augmentation as well as a larger suite of upgrades while magically aware guards tend to be full magicians or mystic adepts. They style themselves after the Dukes of Hell, taking liberties with the Classical Demons: Amdusias, Agares, Valefar, Barbatos, Augusyon, Eligos, Zepar, Bathin, Saleos, Aim, Buné, Berith, Astaroth, Focalor, Vepar, Vual, Crocell, Allocer, Murmur, Gemory, Vapula, Flauros, and Dantalion.

A "Duke of Hell" has the following stats as is considered a TL 8 Grunt
Metatype: Any
Magic: Many of the Dukes are Full Magicians or Mystic Adepts with a magic score of 6 and the potential for some light bioware.
Cyberware: Much of the above, augmented Dukes possess cyberware and bioware in order to make them tougher and faster, usually in a Beta grade.
</pre>

<pre>
Hell: Kings of Hell

The lowest level of Hell is reserved for those members of Charon's staff who have earned his trust. They are unfailingly loyal to Dante and Charon and by far the equal of any High Threat Response Team, often serving in that role should something occur on the grounds of the Inferno that requires such a swift and effective response. They are only ever seen in their Full Body Armor which is patterned after the various Kings of Hell, and like their lesser ranked peers on Charon's staff, they take artistic liberties with the following Classical Demons: Baal, Paimon, Beleth, Purson, Asmodeus, Vine, Balam, Zagan, and Belial.

A "King of Hell" has the following stats as is considered a TL 10 Grunt
Metatype: Any
Notes: Charon recruits a very narrow band of people for his personal lieutenants who rule in Hell - Burnout Revenant Adepts with high magic scores and delta grade cyberware. Each King of Hell, additionally, has memory headware that allows their memory to be wiped of anything they witness while on duty in Hell - something that is likely a blessing in disguise for them.
</pre>

===Matrix Security: Spiders in the Spirals===
<pre>
The Host: Acheron, the City of Fear

Host Type: Destination (Kill Code, pg. 44)
Host Rating: 7 (A4 S5 D10 F9)
Host Themes: Icons and Persona present in Acheron need to be modeled to fit some kind of sin and sufferer or a direct mirror of a person's appearance - demons and the like are expressly reserved for use by staff.
</pre>

<pre>
Spiders in the Spiral:

Given the clandestine nature of many of the meetings that occur at Dante's, Matrix Security is tight. It can be reasonably expected that there are hidden cameras on every level except for Hell, motion sensors and laser grids on any non-standard entrances, and the most bleeding edge security devices that money can buy.

Any individual Spider working to defend Acheron can be reasonably expected to have a number of colleagues to call in the moment something goes sideways. Furthermore, they will almost always have the cutting edge deck - Dante Passini pays well because he knows the safety of his guests is the key to staying in business.

A Security Spider working for Dante is a TL 10 opponent and, notably, will not hesitate to Link Lock and Biofeedback someone to death who is trying to compromise the matrix security.
</pre>

===Astral Security: Hellish Cherubim===
<pre>
Wards and Barriers

As part of the decorations for the Inferno, a keen eye will spot the anchors of a number of layered Wards which offer one more level of added security and protection to guests while they sin the night away. Guests attending the upper levels are expected to drop any magical protections on the way in, however, once someone has acquired a membership to Dante's via the "Patron of the Arts" lifestyle element, they can be considered to have done the necessary work to be 'whitelisted' to the wards and allowed to pass through with their magic intact.

Of note, no one is EVER whitelisted for the wards in Hell.

There are three layers to magical protection around Dante's Inferno:
* A Force 10 Mana Barrier covers the entire building
* A Force 15 Mana Barrier covers Hell, exclusively
* A Force 15 Obfuscation Ward also covers Hell
* A Force 6 Alarm Ward exists on all offices and "staff only" areas.
</pre>

<pre>
Hellish Cherubim:

Patrolling throughout the various levels of the Inferno are a number of watcher spirits as well as guard spirits. Summoned to fit the motif of the Inferno, these spirits are universally some twisted imp or demonic cherub and eagerly pounce on troublemakers.

Spirits present at Dante's:
* Force 8 Watcher Spirits at exits and entrances
* Force 12 Guardian Spirits on each level
</pre>

<pre>
The Fires of the Inferno: Aspected Background Count

Outside of the Inferno, the Background Count is the 'standard' Seattle 2, however once inside it increases to a 3 and progresses as follows:
Limbo to Wrath: 3
Sloth to Purgatory: 4
Hell: 6

If playing with the Mana Aspect rules:
* Each floor is aspected to its theme and follows the same numbers as above.
* Notably Wrath is aspected to mindless violence, whereas Hell itself is aspected towards torture, brutal violence, and murder
</pre>

===Access, Guest Lists, and Assorted Strangness===
<div style="border: 1px solid yellow; padding: 10px; background-color: black;">
<pre style="color: yellow">
IMPORTANT! Consider the following rules of Dante's Inferno carefully
</pre>
</div>

* '''Weapons''': Concealed weapons are allowed on site, given the frequent clientele of the Inferno, but anything with a concealability modifier higher than 0 must be left behind or checked at the door with Charon's staff. Further, such holdout weapons need to be registered with the staff and remain in a Wireless-On status so they can be monitored.
* '''Magic''': No spells are allowed to be sustained while on property of the Inferno without explicit permission of the management.
* '''Violence''': "Friendly" fist fights on Wrath are not unheard of, but closely monitored. Any violence on any of the other levels will be grounds for being removed rather forcibly.
* '''Murder''': The unwritten rule of Dante's Inferno is that no business is conducted on the grounds of the Inferno. Any violation of that is a one way ticket to Hell, in a literal and figurative sense.
* '''Infected''': There is almost no way to avoid being 'made' - and while there is not an explicit rule, Dante's has a vested interest in the safety of its rich clientele. Aware bouncers and close scrutiny means most Infected are politely, yet firmly, turned away.
* '''Drakes''': While Drakes can reasonably certain that they have been 'made', they have the protection of their draconic heritage and the fear of pissing off some Great Dragon somewhere in the family tree. As such, while it will be clear that the security staff knows, they won't say a thing about it - and that expectation goes both ways as the Drake is expected to be on their best behavior.
* '''Cyborgs''': The presence of MAD Scanners means that most cyborgs can expect to be likewise made, and while they have the theoretical protection of being corporate assets, they can expect to be extensively questioned before being allowed in and under constant surveillance the entire time.

<div style="border: 1px solid lime; padding: 10px; background-color: black;">
<pre style="color: lime">
>Getting past the security can be a pain, yea, but I've heard some of the more subtle infected coughcoughcoughcoughvampirescoughcoughcough can sometimes get away with it. Not sure if it's something to do with masking, bribery, or heated clothing. Granted, the front door gives super obvious ones the boot, but I'm sure a few sneak by.
>Captain C0SM0S

>The rule is 'no infected'. I mean, even outside runners, Dante's has a huge business with the mafia, the yaks, the rich and fancy with their 500 nooj cow dinner. There's no reason to let some hungry vamp in and frag up the PR and word of mouth. Hell, I don't wanna run with them and I'm not worried about private security while I drink and dance. I mean, I WILL - cash is cash, but if I gotta run, I'd rather not be running every night with a 'teammate' that's gonna eat me.

<div style="border: 1px solid yellow; padding: 10px; background-color: black;">
<pre style="color: yellow">
Mechanics for Vampires accessing Dante's Inferno:

Any obvious infected is not able to access Dante's and will be turned away at the door. Vampires, being some of the less obvious ones, can sometimes get away with covering their vampiric nature enough to maintain a membership. An Vampire Character should roll (Magic + Initiate Grade + Relevant Foci) - BGC of the floor vs. an opposed 16 Dice for Assensing on behalf of the security team. Failure means that the vampire has been spotted and asked to leave. If a given vampire is spotted, they will be escorted from the Inferno and their membership revoked.

This check can be Pre or Post edged but that decision must be made before the opposed roll. Spent Edge follows all the "spending Edge during downtime" rules, meaning that the Edge is not available on the next table.

This roll should happen on every entrance and, once inside, roughly every hour or so of in-game time. For downtime scenes, players are expected to more or less gauge when those rolls happen for themselves - i.e. when about an hour has passed in the scene.

Perhaps obviously, any attempt to conduct an Essence Drain on site will be rather immediately spotted, interrupted, and resolved.

Should a Vampire Character reach Loyalty 4 with Dante Passini, they will be given special permission to attend the Inferno. Security will be informed about their nature and they will be allowed to pass unmolested; however, a single instance of any kind of predation on his guests will see their membership revoked, their name added to the Ban list, and their Loyalty with Dante will drop to a permanent 0.
</pre>
</div>

==Major Locations==
===Entrance===
The nine story building, taking up its own city block, is actually dwarfed by the surrounding architecture of downtown. Because of this, sky bridges from neighboring buildings stretch across the streets to the top of the Inferno and act as the only way to reach the entrance of the club, apart from the private landing pad on the roof.

Upon arrival, bouncers under the order of Charon, the club’s head of security, weed out the undesirables at the entrance to the first level. There, anybody who is allowed in has two options: party in limbo or try to go deeper. A stairway spirals around the exterior of the building from top to bottom, stopping off at each floor along the way. At each level, another team of bouncers wait to judge whether you are allowed to go deeper. If not, you go into the layer you are on or are asked to leave.

Access: Public - anyone can come to the entrance, but not everyone gets in.

<div style="border: 1px solid lime; padding: 10px; background-color: black;">
<pre style="color: lime">
>Nobody knows if Charon took the name to keep with the club’s theme or if it just worked out for him. Either way, the name fits his role. Charon and his guys are the ones who pick and choose who gets into the Inferno, following any specific directions from Dante or Alessio of course.
>The Fitz
</pre>
</div>

===8th Floor: Limbo===
The layer that is open to the public, Limbo is a pretty standard nightclub experience while still maintaining the hellish theme of the whole club. It does not represent any particular sin or vice, but instead represents the section of hell that all people go if they do not accept a pious life. By allowing anyone in, it shows that anyone who wants to can get into hell, but the real sinners go further.

“Anyone” is a misleading statement when referring to who is allowed into the first layer of the club. While it is officially open to the public, bouncers at the door allow only the elite, well-known, wealthy, or attractive individuals to enter the club. Only those with invitations or higher status get to the lower levels.

Access: High Lifestyle or above to pay the cover fee

<div style="border: 1px solid lime; padding: 10px; background-color: black;">
<pre style="color: lime">
>Getting into Limbo isn’t difficult if you can clean yourself up. If you look rich, or at least look good, you can get in. Smooth-talk Charon’s guys at the door and you can probably get in even if you ain’t that pretty. Main thing is that they don’t want chummers making the place look like some Puyallup dump, so they hand pick the clientele to maintain a high-class atmosphere.
>Blackout
</pre>
</div>

===7th Floor: Lust===
The first layer of the club that is off limits without invitation or prominence, Lust is a strip club. Walking down the stairs into Lust, you are met with the slowly growing scent of sweat and sex. Inside, stages, cages, and poles are scattered around the large room. Dancers of every race, sex, and cybermod niche are on full display showing off to the visitors. While most dancers are hands-off, there are several who can take you in for a “private dance” where you go behind closed doors and get a one-on-one experience.

Access: Luxury Lifestyle to pay cover fee or Patron of the Arts

<div style="border: 1px solid lime; padding: 10px; background-color: black;">
<pre style="color: lime">
>This whole experience is just not the same without access to the bar. Like any bar, it serves a variety of drinks and drugs. However, Lust also serves a plethora of SimSense soft to enhance the patron's experience. If you ever wanted to feel the urge to hump everything that moves, and even some things that don’t, Lust is the place for you.
>Oz, the Wiz

>If you are easily offended by nudity, you might want to keep out of Lust. If you have an obscure fetish you need to indulge, you, chummer, have found the right place. Just be sure to know which kinks get private dances before you go prodding around for a romp with the dancers. Nobody likes a sleaze, not even at a strip joint.
>C088

>While sex and nudity are the primary features of the second circle of the Inferno, it is also important to keep in mind that information flows more in Lust than anywhere else. Below Limbo, only VIPs can get in, but they have a tendency to be more distracted while staring at a pair of elf tits than just lounging around a club. With the added bonus of being the least restrictive VIP level, the patrons of Lust are a bit less careful about what they say to strangers. If you can get down one set of stairs, you get one of the best opportunities to be in the know. WIth that said, the view through the glass floor above does have a better angle to look down girls’ shirts.
>Morris Kimiyo
</pre>
</div>

===6th Floor: Gluttony===
Below Lust is Gluttony, the gourmet restaurant for the extremely VIP in Seattle. While all the layers of the Inferno serve food, this is where you go if you want the premiere Seattle dining experience. Still maintaining the hellish nightclub atmosphere with the matching glass dance floor in the middle, the booths and tables around the third level are for visitors seeking to have their “last meal.” For a measly 500¥, a visitor to Gluttony orders the only available option, entitled the Last Meal. This entails a sort of all-you-can-eat dinner of anything on the menu. Almost any imaginable food, even non-soy delicacies, can be ordered at no end. It is truly the most elite level of dining in downtown Seattle.

Access: Patron of the Arts (Dante's)

<div style="border: 1px solid lime; padding: 10px; background-color: black;">
<pre style="color: lime">
>While the bosses who need absolute privacy use Hell or Purgatory, Gluttony is where lots of the higher-ups in the mobs and the Yaks hold their “casual” meetings. It is still a night-club, so it is loud and hard to overhear conversations, but it is also a restaurant, so they get to have a long conversation over a meal with less fear of eavesdropping.
>The Fitz

>The Last Meal is technically the best deal in town on non-soy food, but only if you can hold it all down. Gluttony doesn’t give chummers who can’t finish their meal any sort of carry-home box, so if you don’t eat your ¥500 worth, you don’t get your money back. But if you find a tricky way to sneak some out, you could probably make a profit selling real cow meat on the street.
>Oz, the Wiz
</pre>
</div>

===5th Floor: Greed===
If you want to throw away your money at the most premiere casino in Seattle, you need to find your way down to the fourth layer of Dante’s Inferno. Greed has a reputation for big payouts and crushing losses. People have both earned and lost their fortunes and status there, although primarily the latter. While all casinos admit that their games are weighted towards the house, Greed has designed their games so that payouts happen few and far between. The lure to be seen gambling at the Inferno is enough to drive people to keep playing and keep losing, although the occasional billionaire jackpot is something everyone secretly hopes for.

Access: Patron of the Arts (Dante's)

<div style="border: 1px solid lime; padding: 10px; background-color: black;">
<pre style="color: lime">
>Gambling at Greed might seem like a good time, maybe even a good idea, but if you manage to ask someone who has lost everything at the Inferno, I bet they tell you to stop before you even started. I say “manage” because chances are, chummer, that you ain’t ever gonna see them again. We say they sold their soul to the Inferno for a reason, because the drek that ends up in debt to the house at Greed never turn up.
>Morris Kimiyo

>They never turn up because they get forced to work with the Yaks to pay off their debts. Everyone knows the Inferno has those ties and I’ve heard that sometimes they turn up doing suicide missions sometimes. Of course the soulless won’t get out alive, and I’m sure they know that. That’s why they get dragged off kicking and screaming when they lose everything at the club.
>C088

>We ain’t working for… I mean, the Yaks ain’t working for Dante. I’ve never heard that rumor before. You’re wrong.
>Morris Kimiyo

>Yeah, okay.
>C088
</pre>
</div>

===4th Floor: Wrath===
Every layer of the Inferno has, at its center, a large glass dance floor. On most levels, this is the epicenter of the nightclub atmosphere keeps consistency through the entire establishment. For example, while Lust has many stages and cages around the room for the paid dancers to perform, the center of the room is occupied by a glass dance floor that club-goers use for their own revelries. Looking down through the floor from Lust, you see a similar sight on the restaurant level of Gluttony, although usually less provocative or generally less crowded. Below that, Greed’s dance floor is identical as well. The first level of the Inferno to break this theme is Wrath.

While it still has the large glass floor in the center of the room, the dancing and partying takes place around the outer walls of the room. The type of dancing is also a bit different than on other floors. Giant crowds of violent moshing surrounds the floor in a pulsating mass. SimSense served at Wrath’s bar promotes a violent and aggressive atmosphere of danger.

Looking down from above, you would still see the center stage, although it is often covered by small splatters of blood with silhouettes of only two individuals. On the fifth layer of Dante’s Inferno, the main attraction is full contact combat sports. Not the lethal blood sports of the underground scene, the boxing (both cyber and non-cyber events), mixed martial arts, and freestyle fights are held nightly at the Wrath combat arena and often aired on trideo broadcasts. Sometimes even high-profile Combat Biker events are hosted by the Inferno, but Dante doesn’t usually grant access to the individuals that attracts. Usually, the thrill of indulging in primal brutality draws huge crowds, but the fact that you need to reach the fifth layer of the Inferno to do so makes Wrath an exclusive and exhilarating experience.

Access: Patron of the Arts (Dante's), or by Invitation if competing

<div style="border: 1px solid lime; padding: 10px; background-color: black;">
<pre style="color: lime">
>Wrath is not only a pipe dream to get into for most of Seattle’s high-class, but it’s fighters are carefully selected from the best of the best. If a boxer of any weight class gets a chance to fight, let alone headline, a night at Wrath, they have made it. Winning nightly fights gets you closer to headlining, headlining gets you incredible fame. Fighting at the Inferno is the height of any career.
>The Fitz
</pre>
</div>

===3rd Floor: Sloth===
To get to the sixth layer of Dante’s Inferno, you have stood in line for hours, walked down six floors of stairs, and are among the most elite and wealthy individuals in Seattle. By the time you reach Sloth, you are ready for a relaxed yet exhilarating nightclub experience.

Sloth is a SimSense Parlour. However, not only does it let you have the exact experience you desire, it lets you do so in one of the most elite and exclusive settings in all of Seattle. In fact, when compared in exclusivity, Sloth is rated fourth in Seattle, behind the three lower layers in the inferno itself. Patrons at Sloth can choose from a collection of nearly a trillion different unique, full-immersion, SimSense experiences. At Sloth, you can submit to the most relaxing of the seven sins while having the time of your life.

Access: Patron of the Arts (Dante's)

<div style="border: 1px solid lime; padding: 10px; background-color: black;">
<pre style="color: lime">
>Don’t think that a SimSense parlour in the most exclusive club in the world is going to be legal and safe. If you know who to talk to, and if you made your way to Sloth it’s very likely that you do, you can get unlimited access to BTLs. The sixth layer of the Inferno advertises itself as a classy place to relax and have a fraggin’ great time, but we all know it’s just as sleazy as any dive bar in Redmond.
>Oz, the Wiz
</pre>
</div>

===2nd Floor: Envy and Pride===
Seven stories down from the publicly open Limbo is the layer of the Inferno that Seattle’s most elite and wealthy individuals gather to prove their superiority to the rest of metahumanity. Sharing a floor, Envy and Pride represent the two sins that fill a similar, if opposing role. The most influential people in Seattle full of pride while everyone above them envies.

Being as exclusive as it is, Envy and Pride is usually a very quiet club. On a busy night it might have twenty patrons mingling in their triumph. Very few have invitations to Envy and Pride. Everyone on the list is familiar with the others and, while you may not care for them, knows the formalities for each individual interaction. Because of this, several of the layer’s guests use it for private meetings and can expect that any other visitors will leave. Envy and Pride is as private of a room as you can get without paying for it.

Access: By special permission of [[Dante Passini]] or [[Alessio]] only. Requires a Loyalty of 4 or Higher with either of them.

<div style="border: 1px solid lime; padding: 10px; background-color: black;">
<pre style="color: lime">
>This makes it seem like there are a variety of people allowed in Envy and Pride. Believe me, there are so few people on that list that a troll could count them all, and I’m not exaggerating. And not only are there less people than drinks on the menu, they almost all work for the Yaks or have some connection to them.
>Blackout

>They don’t all have connections to the Yakuza. I’ve heard the mayor spends some weekends there.
>Morris Kimiyo

>I don’t mean to offend you, chummer, but if the mayor wasn’t taking bribes from you Yaks and letting you run the streets of downtown, he wouldn’t be allowed anywhere near Envy and Pride, let alone have an open invitation.
>C088

>Well said.
>Blackout
</pre>
</div>

===1st / Ground Floor: Purgatory===
The ground floor that can be rented out for a only 10,000¥ an hour, Purgatory is advertised as the last chance to get into heaven. Apart from being an exclusive venue cut off from the rest of the Inferno, it is similar to Limbo as it lacks a defined theme. The only trait truly unique to purgatory is that the dance floor in the center is not made of a clear glass that lets you see into the levels below, but instead acts as an enormous mirror that reflects up to the seven layers of sinful indulgence above.

Access: By special permission of [[Dante Passini]] or [[Alessio]] (Via Loyalty 4+) or by a fee of 10,000 Nuyen per hour.

<div style="border: 1px solid lime; padding: 10px; background-color: black;">
<pre style="color: lime">
>It’s not cheap, but Dante lets almost anybody with the nuyen to afford it rent out Purgatory. That means, if you don’t have the status to get invited to one of the lower layers, you can always pay your way lower. It’s often used as a private venue for rich kid’s birthday parties, but sometimes a Johnson will rent it out for a couple hours for some privacy when dealing with runners. But remember, there is still a giant glass window looking down from above. Those who want real privacy and have the connections to do so go deeper. When someone doesn’t want their business to be known, they go to Hell.
>The Fitz
</pre>
</div>

===Underground: Hell===
Underground, isolated, and as exclusive as it gets, Hell is where you forget all about getting into Heaven. Not only do you need to be able to afford the absurd price tag to use Dante’s private room of sin, vice, and debauchery, but you need to be amongst the people allowed to even ask. Most of the AAA corps have contacts with Dante or Alessio, as well as most of the big mobs, the Mafia, and, of course, the Yakuza. Nobody sets foot in Hell without Dante Passini’s knowledge and explicit permission. With that permission comes the guarantee that knowledge of who and when never leaves Dante himself. Charon and his men make sure that is the case with extra security and external surveillance. If you need to be alone and don’t want anybody to know about it, Hell is your place.

Another feature of Hell is the ability to indulge any sin or fetish you may have. Behind closed doors, nobody asks any questions and any requests are met. If your thing is controversial or illegal, they have snuff and underground SimSense. If you just gotta have the real thing, they tend to make some exceptions for the right amount of cash.

Access: By special permission of [[Dante Passini]] only. Requires a Loyalty of 6 or higher.

<div style="border: 1px solid lime; padding: 10px; background-color: black;">
<pre style="color: lime">
>I’ve never met anybody who’s been to Hell, but there are rumors of what it’s like. Since the policy is privacy, Seattle’s dirtiest deeds take place down there. To maintain that reputation, Charon isn’t allowed to place bouncers on the inside, the bar is self-serve, and any prostitutes are what has been referred to as “one use only.”
>C088

>I met a girl who had the job of cleaning the place out once the patrons were done. She wasn’t allowed to know who was in there, but she was able to confirm the rule on the whores. Cleaning it out required one too many body bags, so she got out when she could.
>Blackout

>That’s… disturbing.

|Matriarch
|Elaine is a lioness from the plains of South Africa. She grew wild, becoming leader of her pride, before ever speaking to metahumans. Her animalistic instincts rule her actions. Her maternal instincts have followed her from the plains of Africa to the streets of Seattle. She can sometimes take a protective stance over her teammates.
|NONE
|-
|Pride of a Lion
|Elaine is not shy about showing off her non-elven form. She is an upstanding South African citizen, and also quietly enjoys the protection of The Rain Queen. She fears almost nothing.
|NONE
|-
|Big Game Hunter
|From a chance encounter Elaine was introduced to the Harmful Paranimals Act of Quebec. Bellerophon made her aware of the hunting clubs all over Quebec, and Elaine was hooked. She sits in a grey area, being a shifter, so she has to be careful. But she can run all her bounties through Bellerophon for a smaller cut, but safer transaction. She spends a lot of time in Montreal on expeditions.
|NONE
|-
|Carnivore
|Elaine is an apex predator. Secretly, she enjoys the taste of metahumans above all others. But she controls herself among Runners and normal people. It would be very bad form to make a snack of the random person.
|NONE
|-
|}

===Summary===
Red Magic Adept. She uses melee attacks up close and archery at range. She follows the Invisible Way and is very sneaky. She possesses good social skills, is fashion conscious, and has no problem fitting in a club or meeting room. She doesn't openly flaunt her shifter status. She prefers to operate under the guise of a SURGE III elf.

Elaine frequents Montreal. She loves the city and is becoming addicted to the big game hunting culture that the country has fostered there with the passing of the Harmful Paranimals Act. Elaine is not *specifically* called out as a target, but keeps very cautious about it anyways. She used Bellerophon to collect all her bounties. He takes a cut, and no one hunts her.

Elaine has a taste for meat. The redder and the more raw the better. Her guilty pleasure is metahuman flesh. She keeps quiet about it around other metahumans. Best not to think that your teammate might take a bite out of you.

Elaine's pelt is promised to Bellerophon upon her death. He'd offer a reward for whoever returns it to him.

Next IG: IG3

Current IG Timer: IG6 - 28 JUN 23 (Needs an update)

Languages Spoken: Bantu, English, French, Sperethiel, Salish, Sioux, Apsáalooke.

Elaine was Resubmitted after the Éclaire la Nuit run.

===Goals===
We need friends in this city.

We also need more skills. You gotta learn to interface with society, and Elaine needs to get better at it.

The Way of Unified Mana is something Solarian told us we need to get, but never took time to learn. Basic skills and Metamagics are on the list first, though.

==Equipment of Note==

===Custom Compound Bow===
Elaine carries a customized PSE Mach 33 in carbon fiber. She also has a traditional recurve bow she had built when she was in Cheyenne a year ago.

===Heavy Weapons===
Silent and deadly, Elaine prefers to use her bow or claws for most jobs. But the availability of heavy firepower provides more options on the job.

===Vault of Ages===
Elaine has a Vault of Ages that Bellerophon made her in the form of a leather quiver. It's R3, and was made by an Enchanter of Magic 6.

==Background==
"Every scar I have makes me who I am."

Elaine was once matriarch of her pride. Her mate had died several years before and through her awakened abilities she claimed the mantle of leadership. Long had she been a terror among the plains of northern Azania. A chance encounter with Shadowrunners attempting to poach lion pelts caused her to reveal her secret, and she could no longer hide her abilities. She offered herself to Azania in exchange for the safety of her pride. She served with distinction and pride in the Azania Special Forces becoming a legendary fighter. Her devotion to Azania was unmatched. So long as they provided protection for her pride she would give them her service. This earned her a famous reputation for protecting the downtrodden, and the weak. She is a kind matriarch to her friends and people. But she is death to her enemies.

After many years she desired to travel. Her pride was safe under Azania's protection and she had the freedom to do as she pleased. Leaving the Army she set out West. She started in America, settling down in Seattle for now. She wants to test the waters. She moved from the open plains of Azania, to the steel caverns and concrete jungles of Seattle.

==Narrative Significant Qualities==

===Positive===
Agile Defender - In the wild you have to depend on your instincts more to survive.

Exceptional Attribute(Magic) - Magic flows through her easily. It could be that as a shifter she is more easily empowered.

Hawk Eye - Elaine has a predator's sharp eyes.

Honest Face - Elaine has that look that makes you want to trust her.

Jack of all Trades - You gotta learn the ropes.

Mentor Spirit (Berserker) - The beast within sometimes becomes the beast without. For all her metahuman looks and civilized habits, there is no mistaking the animal that lies beneath.

Mentor's Mask - A lack of control shows through when situations become more...exciting.

Social Chameleon - How can ears and a tail blend in a crowd? Magic! Or skill, depending on who you ask.

SFDA - A hunter's natural instincts

The Invisible Way - Silent and deadly. Magic makes her a ghost.

Broadened Auditory System, Balance Receptor, and Low-light Vision are traits of her race.

===Negative===
Allergy: Gold, Severe - Just as in legends, she is vulnerable to the precious metal.

Code of Honor: Paladin's Code - Elaine has no use for metahuman politics and agendas. She is more than a warrior. She is her pride's matriarch. She is a mother, and a protector.

Distinctive Style - Lion ears are not so easy to hide. She often doesn't try to.

SINner: Azani - Issued for her military service.

Uneducated - No public schooling for lions, sadly.

==SINs==
Real - Azania

Fake R4 - Québec - Renée Sylvestre - SURGE III Elf. Registered as a big game hunter in Montreal.

==Appearance==
===Shifter Features===
Her metahuman form is an Elf, with some changes. As a lion she keeps certain features even in that form. Instead of knife ears she has furry lion ones on her head. She has pronounced claws on her hands and feet. She is very muscular for her form. Her teeth are sharp and very much lion-like. Her eyes have regular iris's, but they almost glow as deep golden pools. Her distinctly silver hair has a lot of volume and is very long. She maintains the guise of a SURGE Elf while in metahuman form.

In her real form she is a great silver lion. The coloration is owing to her awakened abilities. She stands 5 feet tall at her shoulders, with an overall body length of 100 inches counting her tail. She weighs 600 pounds. She is slightly larger than the biggest big male lions of her subspecies.

===Tattoos===
Elaine has numerous tribal tattoos in her metahuman form. They are across her back, upper and lower arms, and upper thighs.

===Scars===
Elaine has many. Nearly every single one is from some sort of combat. Claw marks, bullet holes, sword cuts. Every one left a mark, and every one has a story.

===Foci===
Elaine has none, but Bellerophon has given her ideas for some in the future.

===Clothing===
Casually Elaine wears boots, jeans, and her favorite Cape Town Stormers hoodie. She usually wears her long silver hair in a ponytail.

In armor Elaine wears a white and red knee length high collar coat with loose pants and boots. Her FBA is distinct as it's a design similar to what is found in her homeland. She wears a Voidblack cloak as well.

===Matrix Persona===
A little silver lion avatar.

She even met the Dweller once. She could give a better thesis on most magical studies than most students at MIT&T. The downside is that she has an ''insatiable'' thirst for knowledge. This can put her in compromising situations.

===Summary===
"Navy SEAL training was the great equalizer. Nothing mattered except your will to succeed."

"A sword wields no strength, unless the hand that holds it has courage."

Kate is a former CAS Navy SEAL. She came from a military family. She is proud, but feels like she lives in her father's shadow. She left South Carolina soon after her discharge to make her own name in the world. Her service career was exemplary, but her father was an Admiral and he often overshadows her.

Her old callsign was "Starlight". She was originally the only female in SEAL Team 8, and some PO3 made the mistake of saying she was "Pretty as starlight", which earned him a punch in the mouth. Unfortunately, the joke stuck and so did the name.

Kate is a warrior born. She specializes in tactical insertions, amphibious ops, diving and underwater demolitions. Her marksmanship skills are excellent. In the Teams, she was notorious for her propensity to blow things up, or at least try to. Recently she has developed her physical combat skills and now prefers melee combat. Kate is a skill monkey. She can throw dice on almost any active skill, and knows a surprising amount of knowledge skills. She possesses decent hacking skills.

Kate is not awakened, but possesses more knowledge than most mages. She has deep resources to call on to deal with these threats, and can often surprise her foes with her knowledge.

Kate serves the Great Form Guidance Spirit [[Teldragon]]. She promised to assist him in his endeavors regarding the [https://shreloaded.net/wiki/Dead_Gods_Stir Horned God]. Kate recently engaged in a temporary power pact with him. She has performed the Assensing, Divination, and Psychometry skills and powers at an effective magic 14.

Alice Kane and Bautista both know that she is an HMHVV carrier. Alice is her personal cybersurgeon, and Kate pays the premium to make sure everything is safe and OK with her operations.

Kate has Grey Mana tattoos on her back. Rating 3.

Kate is a Consummate Professional. Once she gives her word, she doesn't easily break it. Only rarely has this been done, and only for the right reasons.

Officially, Kate is a member of the [[Huk]] who directly reports to [[Bautista]]. Unofficially, She is one of Masaru's Shadowrunners he has on retainer.

===Goals===
Kate's thirst for knowledge is insatiable. Everything that drives her forward revolves around the possibility of learning something new.
===Esoteric Lore===
Kate's library is large and includes many rare and sometimes forbidden books. Most are on magic and ancient history, all the way back into the 4th world. Some of her more rare and valuable items include:

Al Azif (Fragmentary, Arabic)

De Vermiis Mysteriis (Latin)

Unaussprechlichen Kulten (German)

Pnakotic Manuscripts (Greek)

Seven Cryptical Books of Hsan (Mandarin Chinese)

Thaumaturgical Prodigies in the New-England Canaan (English)

==Blacktooth Dagger==
Kate's most treasured possession is a Blacktooth Dagger. Normally it represents membership to Assets Inc., hers was a gift from [[Ryan Mercury]] after rescuing his teammates during the [[GTFO of GeMiTo]] Run. It represents all her hard work and accomplishments in the Shadows. It is also a symbol of her dedication to stand against the dark, evil things that threaten our world. Her goals don't always follow those of the Foundation, but more often than not she finds herself fighting on the same side as them.

==Starshatter==
<s>Kate wields the masterfully hand forged claymore Starshatter. She spends part of each day training with it, and it has since become an extension of herself. The sword was forged by Onotari Arms in Germany and shipped to her. A little incentive from S-K to pay her back, and show her who she should really be working for. It was an "anonymous" gift from one Hans Brackhaus. The hilt is leather over black wood, with a steel cross-guard. The blade is made of a proprietary Onotari Arms tool steel alloy resistant to corrosion and breaking. The blade is almost a pure silver-white, and catches the light easily. On the blade is an inscription written in German, ''"Die stärksten Klingen werden mit Drachenfeuer geschmiedet"''. The sword itself stands 1.4 meters tall, and Kate has a tendency to use it more akin to an axe than a sword due to it's sheer size and weight.</s>

<s>As of Sangre Por Sangre, the weapon was further customized. A specialist from the Draco Foundation had the hilt replaced with a black bone-like material, and glowing draconic runes were etched into the blade. What started as a masterpiece by Onotari Arms was made into a work of art by Brackhaus, and what he made a work of art was remade into a truly unique blade by the Draco Foundation.</s>

<s>It is her most unique and defining item she owns. It represents a great deal of respect between herself, and the dragons. </s>

<s>The runes are a R7 unbound Weapon Focus. Assensing detects Draconic Magic used to create it.</s>

Starshatter is currently in the possession of Lofwyr's agent, Scale.

==Kate's Collection of Blades==
Kate has a large collection of unique blades. Most are not old, but all are singular.

Lung's Gift - A replacement for Starshatter. Kate gave Lung a tip about the Fourth Coin of Luck, and in return was gifted a masterwork of Longquan steel. A claymore with a sharkskin handle, black cross guard, and a blade forged by the greatest smith in China.

Blacktooth Dagger - The mark of membership to Assets Inc. Given to her by Quicksilver. Contains an unbound F7 Draconic Weapon Focus.

Onotari Arms Mk III Dive Knife - Kate's knife from her SEAL days. Broken and remade multiple times, it is her oldest companion. The blade bears the words "Facta, Non Verba".

Matched Vibro Blade Cutlass and Knife - A matched pair of vibro blades, serrated and wicked. They complete her true Huk persona.

Mr. Braun's commemorative Stiletto - A commemoration to Dr. Braun, a pioneer in biotechnology. Retrieved from a bunker holding a Horror Show Shedim captive.

Silver Trident - For looks, mostly. An item made as a reward from a fencing tournament in France. Exceptional quality.

Hatred's Bite - A Spanish style rapier. Commissioned when she began learning the style.

Heartrender - An Ares-made blade. One of their special mono-edged swords.

Inu No Kiba - A decorative vibrosword bearing inscriptions of a legend about an Inugami. Presented by the leader of a Dog Shifter tribe on Yomi Island.

Hinode - A Katana, specially made using the old ways with modern steel. A blend of tradition and technology.

Matched Victorinox Sword and Knife - Matched to her favorite black dress. Concealable lethality.

==Background==
Kate was born in Charleston, South Carolina. Her father was an Admiral in the CAS Navy and former Captain of an SSVN, and her mother served in the CAS Airforce. Kate joined the CAS Navy when she was 17. Initially, she signed up as a Navy Diver, but her high aptitude and technical skills opened up more dangerous jobs. She volunteered for the SEALs when she was 19, completing training a year later.

She once got to participate in a PR exchange program where she and 11 others went to Moscow for 3 months. She learned new fighting styles from the Red Army, and picked up some specialized skills there.

When she was 29, she became infected with HMHVV III. Her team boarded a vessel that had gone dark off the coast of Virginia. Turns out everyone onboard was a ghoul. Out of 8 SEALS that went in, 2 came out. Her PO1, who was fine, and Kate, who had been exposed. She fought off the infection but became a carrier. It made her sort of a pariah, but allowed her to become more specialized, being able to fight those infected with the Krieger Strain without the risk of consequence.

She had a long and prestigious career in the Navy. She achieved the rank of PO1, retiring after 20 years of service. Her constant desire to strive for greatness led her to acquire more and more cyber and bioware. She has sculpted her body to have many subtle but important enhancements. Anything she lacks she makes up for with her skills and training.

She moved to Seattle after this to work as a civilian contactor. A friend who moved there said she might find work. Initially she thought to contract to the UCAS Navy, but found them annoying to work for. Plus they didn't seem to like her due to her previous employment in the CAS Navy. She receives a pension from the Navy, but donates 100% of it to a charity fund dedicated to wounded and disabled soldiers and veterans. She doesn't even count this income as hers at this point.

She soon discovered the life of Shadowrunning to supplement her income. Plus she wanted the excitement since civilian life is so boring.

==Kate's Family==
Admiral James Tyler, 93, began his 45 year career with the CAS Navy at the young age of 17. He joined with a waiver from his parents. He began his career as an enlisted SONAR Technician, serving his first tour on the fast attack submarine CSS Lee. Admiral Tyler served for 12 years, attaining the rank of Chief Petty Officer before being selected into Officer Candidate School. After receiving his commission, he served as the ASW Officer on the CSS Savannah. Serving with distinction, he received his first command of a patrol submarine when he was made Lieutenant. His promotion to Captain saw him command the CSS Richmond, one of the newly commissioned SSVN class submarines. This would prove to be his most prestigious command. After the Richmond, he served at numerous positions of leadership, eventually serving his final 10 years at the Naval War College. His insight led to numerous tactical advances for the Navy.

Mrs. Samantha McCallister-Tyler, 83, was born in Missouri and joined the Army to get off of her family’s farm. She enlisted originally into the non-combat pilot program, but was picked up for Officer Candidate School in training. After graduating flight school, she flew a Sea Sprite for several years before being selected to serve in the 160th SOAR. Upon completing SEAR and Advanced Combat Training, she served with the Night Stalkers for the rest of her career. When she was 26 she met James Tyler while transferring a Delta team to his SSVN for a mission. Weather forced her to stay onboard for a week, and the two hit it off, and the rest is history. She is currently retired residing at the Tyler family estate in Charleston.

Leah Tyler, 57, currently works for the CAS FBI. She awakened when she was only 4, displaying great aptitude for sorcery. She was recruited to the FBI straight out of highschool. Later she learned that this was two-fold. One, to use her skills, and two, to keep an eye on her. She excelled in her career. Today, she is a Magic 13 Hermetic Magician. She serves on a rapid response team specializing in awakened threats.

Samuel Tyler, 47, Currently serves at Camp Lejeune as an instructor. Specifically, he oversees the practical training of new Force Recon Marines. Having served in MARSOC for 32 years, he now trains the next generation of Marines. He visits home more often than any of the other siblings, being that he is so close.

Mrs. Anna Roberts-Tyler, 46, is a Naval Engineer currently serving in Charleston. She served on SSNs and SSVNs during her career as an Engineering Officer. She currently oversees all new installations and refueling of fusion reactors for the CAS Atlantic Fleet. Work keeps her away from home, and often takes her overseas for weeks at a time. She is also a Magic 8 Physad and uses her talents to help her work in extremely hostile environments. Her husband is a Mr. Michael Roberts who works at ONI, specializing in underwater reconnaissance and intelligence.

Ezekiel Tyler, 42, is a former Force Recon Marine like his brother Sam. Like his sister Kate, his career was upended by a fight with an HMHVV infected opponent. Unlike Kate, He succumbed to his infection becoming a Loup-Garou. He finished his current enlistment and was discharged. Technology allows him to live a mostly normal life, but finding employment is hard. Currently he works for the Blackwater Corporation. He has extensive training in unarmed combat and his natural claws really augment that. Kate is currently trying to get him to walk on the wild side and become a Shadowrunner, but Blackwater provides a good structure in his life, and provides everything he needs.

Katherine Tyler, 40, is a former Navy SEAL turned Shadwrunner. She enlisted in the Navy as a Diver, but volunteered for SEAL Training while in Dive school. After training she served her whole career with SEAL Team 8. She was the first female on that team, and the second ever female SEAL. She contracted HMHVV at 26, but fought off the virus and became a carrier. After the Navy, she moved to Seattle and became a mercenary, eventually becoming a full blown Shadowrunner. Currently she swears loyalty to the Great Dragon Masaru and the Hukbong Bayan. She has a very close relationship to the Great Spirit Teldragon, and there are rumors that this is very much a master-servant relationship.

==Appearance==

===Cyberware and Bioware===
Most of Kate's ware is actually very subtle. Only her Fangs, Claws, Cybereyes, Datajacks, and Orthoskin Mods are actually visible. She has a datajack behind her left ear and one on her right wrist. Her fangs are vampire-like and usually always visible. Her claws are often hid behind gloves due to her HMHVV. Her Sharkskin mod is visible as rough skin on her arms and legs. Dragon Hide is shown as subtle smooth scales across her shoulders, back, and chest. Her Cybereyes exhibit the normal slight glow, and hers are colored purple. They match her original eye color.

===Tattoos and Scars===
She bears numerous small scars from her service, but one stands out. A jagged claw scar extends from the base of her neck to her shoulder. This is where a ghoul grabbed her and cut along the top plate of her armor through the Kevlar. It healed, but left a very prominent scar. This can be seen if she wears a t-shirt. It can just barely be seen over the collar of an armored jacket or dress coat.

Kate has numerous tattoos as well. She has a full right sleeve that's very much CAS and military inspired. She has a SEAL trident on the back of her neck, but low enough to be concealed by a collard shirt. She also has a lunging shark on her left arm.

Kate recently had Grey Mana Tattoos done on her back in the form of a large shark. The tail starts just above her butt, curves up her back, and over her right shoulder. The shark's jaws open just under her collarbones. This makes it so it is visually hidden wearing clothes, but as with all grey mana tattoos, awakened can see it for what it is.

===Clothing===
Kate is a tall, fit former CAS Navy SEAL.

She typically wears a knee length black and silver armor jacket over a long sleeve shirt. She wears black pants and black custom Lonestar Bates combat boots. Her jacket has the image of a black and blue dragon on the back and the words “Hukbong Bayan” on the top across her shoulders.

She typically carries her Cavalier Evanator, Victorinox blades, tricked out commlink, drug injectors, BTLs, and assorted normal everyday things on her person wherever she goes.

Kate in SWAT Armor looks like a typical military Special Operator. She wears a small CAS flag patch on her right shoulder, and a small black dragon with white horns and the letters "H-U-K" on the other shoulder. Loaded out, she carries a custom FN-HAR and rotary grenade launcher on slings, with microgrenades and ammunition strapped to her rig. She wears a low profile backpack filled with tools and supplies, and usually carries a few kilos of C4 with her. She also sports a very large claymore across her back.

Kate wears her old CAS dog tags everywhere. She breaks this habit only in certain situations. In addition to the two that are normally there, she has a red one that says "CARRIER" on one side, and "HMHVV III" on the other.

===Matrix Persona===
She uses a blue shark for her matrix persona. Her agent appears as a blue corgi made of energy or electricity of some sort. They occasionally have glitches where they appear as a large detailed wolf, but glitch back to normal after a split second. They seem to have a dog brain one moment and intelligent the next. This is due to the fact that Von Neumann used an actual sapient AI that was stripped down in the construction of her agent.

{{Redbox|<center>Kate is a proud citizen of the CAS. While she is patriotic towards everything related to the South, her family and friends have nothing but disdain for slavery and racism towards any part of metahumanity. She respects her Southern war heroes, but not all of their values. Her attitude in-game reflects this.</center>}}

{{roundbox|<center>What's the point in succeeding if succeeding is easy?

I want no part of easy.

===Summary===
"Navy SEAL training was the great equalizer. Nothing mattered except your will to succeed."

"A sword wields no strength, unless the hand that holds it has courage."

Kate is a former CAS Navy SEAL. She came from a military family. She is proud, but feels like she lives in her father's shadow. She left South Carolina soon after her discharge to make her own name in the world. Her service career was exemplary, but her father was an Admiral and he often overshadows her.

Her old callsign was "Starlight". She was originally the only female in SEAL Team 8, and some PO3 made the mistake of saying she was "Pretty as starlight", which earned him a punch in the mouth. Unfortunately, the joke stuck and so did the name.

Kate is a warrior born. She specializes in tactical insertions, amphibious ops, diving and underwater demolitions. Her marksmanship skills are excellent. In the Teams, she was notorious for her propensity to blow things up, or at least try to. Recently she has developed her physical combat skills and now prefers melee combat. Kate is a skill monkey. She can throw dice on almost any active skill, and knows a surprising amount of knowledge skills. She possesses decent hacking skills.

Kate is not awakened, but possesses more knowledge than most mages. She has deep resources to call on to deal with these threats, and can often surprise her foes with her knowledge.

Kate serves the Great Form Guidance Spirit [[Teldragon]]. She promised to assist him in his endeavors regarding the [https://shreloaded.net/wiki/Dead_Gods_Stir Horned God]. Kate recently engaged in a temporary power pact with him. She has performed the Assensing, Divination, and Psychometry skills and powers at an effective magic 14.

Alice Kane and Bautista both know that she is an HMHVV carrier. Alice is her personal cybersurgeon, and Kate pays the premium to make sure everything is safe and OK with her operations.

Kate has Grey Mana tattoos on her back. Rating 3.

Kate is a Consummate Professional. Once she gives her word, she doesn't easily break it. Only rarely has this been done, and only for the right reasons.

Officially, Kate is a member of the [[Huk]] who directly reports to [[Bautista]]. Unofficially, She is one of Masaru's Shadowrunners he has on retainer.

===Goals===
Kate's thirst for knowledge is insatiable. Everything that drives her forward revolves around the possibility of learning something new.
===Esoteric Lore===
Kate's library is large and includes many rare and sometimes forbidden books. Most are on magic and ancient history, all the way back into the 4th world. Some of her more rare and valuable items include:

Al Azif (Fragmentary, Arabic)

De Vermiis Mysteriis (Latin)

Unaussprechlichen Kulten (German)

Pnakotic Manuscripts (Greek)

Seven Cryptical Books of Hsan (Mandarin Chinese)

Thaumaturgical Prodigies in the New-England Canaan (English)

==Blacktooth Dagger==
Kate's most treasured possession is a Blacktooth Dagger. Normally it represents membership to Assets Inc., hers was a gift from [[Ryan Mercury]] after rescuing his teammates during the [[GTFO of GeMiTo]] Run. It represents all her hard work and accomplishments in the Shadows. It is also a symbol of her dedication to stand against the dark, evil things that threaten our world. Her goals don't always follow those of the Foundation, but more often than not she finds herself fighting on the same side as them.

==Starshatter==
<s>Kate wields the masterfully hand forged claymore Starshatter. She spends part of each day training with it, and it has since become an extension of herself. The sword was forged by Onotari Arms in Germany and shipped to her. A little incentive from S-K to pay her back, and show her who she should really be working for. It was an "anonymous" gift from one Hans Brackhaus. The hilt is leather over black wood, with a steel cross-guard. The blade is made of a proprietary Onotari Arms tool steel alloy resistant to corrosion and breaking. The blade is almost a pure silver-white, and catches the light easily. On the blade is an inscription written in German, ''"Die stärksten Klingen werden mit Drachenfeuer geschmiedet"''. The sword itself stands 1.4 meters tall, and Kate has a tendency to use it more akin to an axe than a sword due to it's sheer size and weight.</s>

<s>As of Sangre Por Sangre, the weapon was further customized. A specialist from the Draco Foundation had the hilt replaced with a black bone-like material, and glowing draconic runes were etched into the blade. What started as a masterpiece by Onotari Arms was made into a work of art by Brackhaus, and what he made a work of art was remade into a truly unique blade by the Draco Foundation.</s>

<s>It is her most unique and defining item she owns. It represents a great deal of respect between herself, and the dragons. </s>

<s>The runes are a R7 unbound Weapon Focus. Assensing detects Draconic Magic used to create it.</s>

Starshatter is currently in the possession of Lofwyr's agent, Scale.

==Kate's Collection of Blades==
Kate has a large collection of unique blades. Most are not old, but all are singular.

Lung's Gift - A replacement for Starshatter. Kate gave Lung a tip about the Fourth Coin of Luck, and in return was gifted a masterwork of Longquan steel. A claymore with a sharkskin handle, black cross guard, and a blade forged by the greatest smith in China.

Blacktooth Dagger - The mark of membership to Assets Inc. Given to her by Quicksilver. Contains an unbound F7 Draconic Weapon Focus.

Onotari Arms Mk III Dive Knife - Kate's knife from her SEAL days. Broken and remade multiple times, it is her oldest companion. The blade bears the words "Facta, Non Verba".

Matched Vibro Blade Cutlass and Knife - A matched pair of vibro blades, serrated and wicked. They complete her true Huk persona.

Mr. Braun's commemorative Stiletto - A commemoration to Dr. Braun, a pioneer in biotechnology. Retrieved from a bunker holding a Horror Show Shedim captive.

Silver Trident - For looks, mostly. An item made as a reward from a fencing tournament in France. Exceptional quality.

Hatred's Bite - A Spanish style rapier. Commissioned when she began learning the style.

Heartrender - An Ares-made blade. One of their special mono-edged swords.

Inu No Kiba - A decorative vibrosword bearing inscriptions of a legend about an Inugami. Presented by the leader of a Dog Shifter tribe on Yomi Island.

Hinode - A Katana, specially made using the old ways with modern steel. A blend of tradition and technology.

Matched Victorinox Sword and Knife - Matched to her favorite black dress. Concealable lethality.

==Background==
Kate was born in Charleston, South Carolina. Her father was an Admiral in the CAS Navy and former Captain of an SSVN, and her mother served in the CAS Airforce. Kate joined the CAS Navy when she was 17. Initially, she signed up as a Navy Diver, but her high aptitude and technical skills opened up more dangerous jobs. She volunteered for the SEALs when she was 19, completing training a year later.

She once got to participate in a PR exchange program where she and 11 others went to Moscow for 3 months. She learned new fighting styles from the Red Army, and picked up some specialized skills there.

When she was 29, she became infected with HMHVV III. Her team boarded a vessel that had gone dark off the coast of Virginia. Turns out everyone onboard was a ghoul. Out of 8 SEALS that went in, 2 came out. Her PO1, who was fine, and Kate, who had been exposed. She fought off the infection but became a carrier. It made her sort of a pariah, but allowed her to become more specialized, being able to fight those infected with the Krieger Strain without the risk of consequence.

She had a long and prestigious career in the Navy. She achieved the rank of PO1, retiring after 20 years of service. Her constant desire to strive for greatness led her to acquire more and more cyber and bioware. She has sculpted her body to have many subtle but important enhancements. Anything she lacks she makes up for with her skills and training.

She moved to Seattle after this to work as a civilian contactor. A friend who moved there said she might find work. Initially she thought to contract to the UCAS Navy, but found them annoying to work for. Plus they didn't seem to like her due to her previous employment in the CAS Navy. She receives a pension from the Navy, but donates 100% of it to a charity fund dedicated to wounded and disabled soldiers and veterans. She doesn't even count this income as hers at this point.

She soon discovered the life of Shadowrunning to supplement her income. Plus she wanted the excitement since civilian life is so boring.

==Kate's Family==
Admiral James Tyler, 93, began his 45 year career with the CAS Navy at the young age of 17. He joined with a waiver from his parents. He began his career as an enlisted SONAR Technician, serving his first tour on the fast attack submarine CSS Lee. Admiral Tyler served for 12 years, attaining the rank of Chief Petty Officer before being selected into Officer Candidate School. After receiving his commission, he served as the ASW Officer on the CSS Savannah. Serving with distinction, he received his first command of a patrol submarine when he was made Lieutenant. His promotion to Captain saw him command the CSS Richmond, one of the newly commissioned SSVN class submarines. This would prove to be his most prestigious command. After the Richmond, he served at numerous positions of leadership, eventually serving his final 10 years at the Naval War College. His insight led to numerous tactical advances for the Navy.

Mrs. Samantha McCallister-Tyler, 83, was born in Missouri and joined the Army to get off of her family’s farm. She enlisted originally into the non-combat pilot program, but was picked up for Officer Candidate School in training. After graduating flight school, she flew a Sea Sprite for several years before being selected to serve in the 160th SOAR. Upon completing SEAR and Advanced Combat Training, she served with the Night Stalkers for the rest of her career. When she was 26 she met James Tyler while transferring a Delta team to his SSVN for a mission. Weather forced her to stay onboard for a week, and the two hit it off, and the rest is history. She is currently retired residing at the Tyler family estate in Charleston.

Leah Tyler, 57, currently works for the CAS FBI. She awakened when she was only 4, displaying great aptitude for sorcery. She was recruited to the FBI straight out of highschool. Later she learned that this was two-fold. One, to use her skills, and two, to keep an eye on her. She excelled in her career. Today, she is a Magic 13 Hermetic Magician. She serves on a rapid response team specializing in awakened threats.

Samuel Tyler, 47, Currently serves at Camp Lejeune as an instructor. Specifically, he oversees the practical training of new Force Recon Marines. Having served in MARSOC for 32 years, he now trains the next generation of Marines. He visits home more often than any of the other siblings, being that he is so close.

Mrs. Anna Roberts-Tyler, 46, is a Naval Engineer currently serving in Charleston. She served on SSNs and SSVNs during her career as an Engineering Officer. She currently oversees all new installations and refueling of fusion reactors for the CAS Atlantic Fleet. Work keeps her away from home, and often takes her overseas for weeks at a time. She is also a Magic 8 Physad and uses her talents to help her work in extremely hostile environments. Her husband is a Mr. Michael Roberts who works at ONI, specializing in underwater reconnaissance and intelligence.

Ezekiel Tyler, 42, is a former Force Recon Marine like his brother Sam. Like his sister Kate, his career was upended by a fight with an HMHVV infected opponent. Unlike Kate, He succumbed to his infection becoming a Loup-Garou. He finished his current enlistment and was discharged. Technology allows him to live a mostly normal life, but finding employment is hard. Currently he works for the Blackwater Corporation. He has extensive training in unarmed combat and his natural claws really augment that. Kate is currently trying to get him to walk on the wild side and become a Shadowrunner, but Blackwater provides a good structure in his life, and provides everything he needs.

Katherine Tyler, 40, is a former Navy SEAL turned Shadwrunner. She enlisted in the Navy as a Diver, but volunteered for SEAL Training while in Dive school. After training she served her whole career with SEAL Team 8. She was the first female on that team, and the second ever female SEAL. She contracted HMHVV at 26, but fought off the virus and became a carrier. After the Navy, she moved to Seattle and became a mercenary, eventually becoming a full blown Shadowrunner. Currently she swears loyalty to the Great Dragon Masaru and the Hukbong Bayan. She has a very close relationship to the Great Spirit Teldragon, and there are rumors that this is very much a master-servant relationship.

==Appearance==

===Cyberware and Bioware===
Most of Kate's ware is actually very subtle. Only her Fangs, Claws, Cybereyes, Datajacks, and Orthoskin Mods are actually visible. She has a datajack behind her left ear and one on her right wrist. Her fangs are vampire-like and usually always visible. Her claws are often hid behind gloves due to her HMHVV. Her Sharkskin mod is visible as rough skin on her arms and legs. Dragon Hide is shown as subtle smooth scales across her shoulders, back, and chest. Her Cybereyes exhibit the normal slight glow, and hers are colored purple. They match her original eye color.

===Tattoos and Scars===
She bears numerous small scars from her service, but one stands out. A jagged claw scar extends from the base of her neck to her shoulder. This is where a ghoul grabbed her and cut along the top plate of her armor through the Kevlar. It healed, but left a very prominent scar. This can be seen if she wears a t-shirt. It can just barely be seen over the collar of an armored jacket or dress coat.

Kate has numerous tattoos as well. She has a full right sleeve that's very much CAS and military inspired. She has a SEAL trident on the back of her neck, but low enough to be concealed by a collard shirt. She also has a lunging shark on her left arm.

Kate recently had Grey Mana Tattoos done on her back in the form of a large shark. The tail starts just above her butt, curves up her back, and over her right shoulder. The shark's jaws open just under her collarbones. This makes it so it is visually hidden wearing clothes, but as with all grey mana tattoos, awakened can see it for what it is.

===Clothing===
Kate is a tall, fit former CAS Navy SEAL.

She typically wears a knee length black and silver armor jacket over a long sleeve shirt. She wears black pants and black custom Lonestar Bates combat boots. Her jacket has the image of a black and blue dragon on the back and the words “Hukbong Bayan” on the top across her shoulders.

She typically carries her Cavalier Evanator, Victorinox blades, tricked out commlink, drug injectors, BTLs, and assorted normal everyday things on her person wherever she goes.

Kate in SWAT Armor looks like a typical military Special Operator. She wears a small CAS flag patch on her right shoulder, and a small black dragon with white horns and the letters "H-U-K" on the other shoulder. Loaded out, she carries a custom FN-HAR and rotary grenade launcher on slings, with microgrenades and ammunition strapped to her rig. She wears a low profile backpack filled with tools and supplies, and usually carries a few kilos of C4 with her. She also sports a very large claymore across her back.

Kate wears her old CAS dog tags everywhere. She breaks this habit only in certain situations. In addition to the two that are normally there, she has a red one that says "CARRIER" on one side, and "HMHVV III" on the other.

===Matrix Persona===
She uses a blue shark for her matrix persona. Her agent appears as a blue corgi made of energy or electricity of some sort. They occasionally have glitches where they appear as a large detailed wolf, but glitch back to normal after a split second. They seem to have a dog brain one moment and intelligent the next. This is due to the fact that Von Neumann used an actual sapient AI that was stripped down in the construction of her agent.

StormSeeker2214: /* Allies */

{{Redbox|<center>Kate is a proud citizen of the CAS. While she is patriotic towards everything related to the South, her family and friends have nothing but disdain for slavery and racism towards any part of metahumanity. She respects her Southern war heroes, but not all of their values. Her attitude in-game reflects this.</center>}}

{{Redbox|<center>Kate is sworn to the Great Dragon Masaru's service.</center>}}

{{roundbox|<center>What's the point in succeeding if succeeding is easy?

I want no part of easy.

I want the struggle,

I want the fight,

I want the pain.

And then I want the best feeling of all.

That the world did everything it could to beat me,

And I won.</center>}}

===Summary===
"Navy SEAL training was the great equalizer. Nothing mattered except your will to succeed."

"A sword wields no strength, unless the hand that holds it has courage."

Kate is a former CAS Navy SEAL. She came from a military family. She is proud, but feels like she lives in her father's shadow. She left South Carolina soon after her discharge to make her own name in the world. Her service career was exemplary, but her father was an Admiral and he often overshadows her.

Her old callsign was "Starlight". She was originally the only female in SEAL Team 8, and some PO3 made the mistake of saying she was "Pretty as starlight", which earned him a punch in the mouth. Unfortunately, the joke stuck and so did the name.

Kate is a warrior born. She specializes in tactical insertions, amphibious ops, diving and underwater demolitions. Her marksmanship skills are excellent. In the Teams, she was notorious for her propensity to blow things up, or at least try to. Recently she has developed her physical combat skills and now prefers melee combat. Kate is a skill monkey. She can throw dice on almost any active skill, and knows a surprising amount of knowledge skills. She possesses decent hacking skills.

Kate is not awakened, but possesses more knowledge than most mages. She has deep resources to call on to deal with these threats, and can often surprise her foes with her knowledge.

Kate serves the Great Form Guidance Spirit [[Teldragon]]. She promised to assist him in his endeavors regarding the [https://shreloaded.net/wiki/Dead_Gods_Stir Horned God]. Kate recently engaged in a temporary power pact with him. She has performed the Assensing, Divination, and Psychometry skills and powers at an effective magic 14.

Alice Kane and Bautista both know that she is an HMHVV carrier. Alice is her personal cybersurgeon, and Kate pays the premium to make sure everything is safe and OK with her operations.

Kate has Grey Mana tattoos on her back. Rating 3.

Kate is a Consummate Professional. Once she gives her word, she doesn't easily break it. Only rarely has this been done, and only for the right reasons.

Officially, Kate is a member of the [[Huk]] who directly reports to [[Bautista]]. Unofficially, She is one of Masaru's Shadowrunners he has on retainer.

===Goals===
Kate's thirst for knowledge is insatiable. Everything that drives her forward revolves around the possibility of learning something new.
===Esoteric Lore===
Kate's library is large and includes many rare and sometimes forbidden books. Most are on magic and ancient history, all the way back into the 4th world. Some of her more rare and valuable items include:

Al Azif (Fragmentary, Arabic)

De Vermiis Mysteriis (Latin)

Unaussprechlichen Kulten (German)

Pnakotic Manuscripts (Greek)

Seven Cryptical Books of Hsan (Mandarin Chinese)

Thaumaturgical Prodigies in the New-England Canaan (English)

==Blacktooth Dagger==
Kate's most treasured possession is a Blacktooth Dagger. Normally it represents membership to Assets Inc., hers was a gift from [[Ryan Mercury]] after rescuing his teammates during the [[GTFO of GeMiTo]] Run. It represents all her hard work and accomplishments in the Shadows. It is also a symbol of her dedication to stand against the dark, evil things that threaten our world. Her goals don't always follow those of the Foundation, but more often than not she finds herself fighting on the same side as them.

==Starshatter==
<s>Kate wields the masterfully hand forged claymore Starshatter. She spends part of each day training with it, and it has since become an extension of herself. The sword was forged by Onotari Arms in Germany and shipped to her. A little incentive from S-K to pay her back, and show her who she should really be working for. It was an "anonymous" gift from one Hans Brackhaus. The hilt is leather over black wood, with a steel cross-guard. The blade is made of a proprietary Onotari Arms tool steel alloy resistant to corrosion and breaking. The blade is almost a pure silver-white, and catches the light easily. On the blade is an inscription written in German, ''"Die stärksten Klingen werden mit Drachenfeuer geschmiedet"''. The sword itself stands 1.4 meters tall, and Kate has a tendency to use it more akin to an axe than a sword due to it's sheer size and weight.</s>

<s>As of Sangre Por Sangre, the weapon was further customized. A specialist from the Draco Foundation had the hilt replaced with a black bone-like material, and glowing draconic runes were etched into the blade. What started as a masterpiece by Onotari Arms was made into a work of art by Brackhaus, and what he made a work of art was remade into a truly unique blade by the Draco Foundation.</s>

<s>It is her most unique and defining item she owns. It represents a great deal of respect between herself, and the dragons. </s>

<s>The runes are a R7 unbound Weapon Focus. Assensing detects Draconic Magic used to create it.</s>

Starshatter is currently in the possession of Lofwyr's agent, Scale.

==Kate's Collection of Blades==
Kate has a large collection of unique blades. Most are not old, but all are singular.

Lung's Gift - A replacement for Starshatter. Kate gave Lung a tip about the Fourth Coin of Luck, and in return was gifted a masterwork of Longquan steel. A claymore with a sharkskin handle, black cross guard, and a blade forged by the greatest smith in China.

Blacktooth Dagger - The mark of membership to Assets Inc. Given to her by Quicksilver. Contains an unbound F7 Draconic Weapon Focus.

Onotari Arms Mk III Dive Knife - Kate's knife from her SEAL days. Broken and remade multiple times, it is her oldest companion. The blade bears the words "Facta, Non Verba".

Matched Vibro Blade Cutlass and Knife - A matched pair of vibro blades, serrated and wicked. They complete her true Huk persona.

Mr. Braun's commemorative Stiletto - A commemoration to Dr. Braun, a pioneer in biotechnology. Retrieved from a bunker holding a Horror Show Shedim captive.

Silver Trident - For looks, mostly. An item made as a reward from a fencing tournament in France. Exceptional quality.

Hatred's Bite - A Spanish style rapier. Commissioned when she began learning the style.

Heartrender - An Ares-made blade. One of their special mono-edged swords.

Inu No Kiba - A decorative vibrosword bearing inscriptions of a legend about an Inugami. Presented by the leader of a Dog Shifter tribe on Yomi Island.

Hinode - A Katana, specially made using the old ways with modern steel. A blend of tradition and technology.

Matched Victorinox Sword and Knife - Matched to her favorite black dress. Concealable lethality.

==Background==
Kate was born in Charleston, South Carolina. Her father was an Admiral in the CAS Navy and former Captain of an SSVN, and her mother served in the CAS Airforce. Kate joined the CAS Navy when she was 17. Initially, she signed up as a Navy Diver, but her high aptitude and technical skills opened up more dangerous jobs. She volunteered for the SEALs when she was 19, completing training a year later.

She once got to participate in a PR exchange program where she and 11 others went to Moscow for 3 months. She learned new fighting styles from the Red Army, and picked up some specialized skills there.

When she was 29, she became infected with HMHVV III. Her team boarded a vessel that had gone dark off the coast of Virginia. Turns out everyone onboard was a ghoul. Out of 8 SEALS that went in, 2 came out. Her PO1, who was fine, and Kate, who had been exposed. She fought off the infection but became a carrier. It made her sort of a pariah, but allowed her to become more specialized, being able to fight those infected with the Krieger Strain without the risk of consequence.

She had a long and prestigious career in the Navy. She achieved the rank of PO1, retiring after 20 years of service. Her constant desire to strive for greatness led her to acquire more and more cyber and bioware. She has sculpted her body to have many subtle but important enhancements. Anything she lacks she makes up for with her skills and training.

She moved to Seattle after this to work as a civilian contactor. A friend who moved there said she might find work. Initially she thought to contract to the UCAS Navy, but found them annoying to work for. Plus they didn't seem to like her due to her previous employment in the CAS Navy. She receives a pension from the Navy, but donates 100% of it to a charity fund dedicated to wounded and disabled soldiers and veterans. She doesn't even count this income as hers at this point.

She soon discovered the life of Shadowrunning to supplement her income. Plus she wanted the excitement since civilian life is so boring.

==Kate's Family==
Admiral James Tyler, 93, began his 45 year career with the CAS Navy at the young age of 17. He joined with a waiver from his parents. He began his career as an enlisted SONAR Technician, serving his first tour on the fast attack submarine CSS Lee. Admiral Tyler served for 12 years, attaining the rank of Chief Petty Officer before being selected into Officer Candidate School. After receiving his commission, he served as the ASW Officer on the CSS Savannah. Serving with distinction, he received his first command of a patrol submarine when he was made Lieutenant. His promotion to Captain saw him command the CSS Richmond, one of the newly commissioned SSVN class submarines. This would prove to be his most prestigious command. After the Richmond, he served at numerous positions of leadership, eventually serving his final 10 years at the Naval War College. His insight led to numerous tactical advances for the Navy.

Mrs. Samantha McCallister-Tyler, 83, was born in Missouri and joined the Army to get off of her family’s farm. She enlisted originally into the non-combat pilot program, but was picked up for Officer Candidate School in training. After graduating flight school, she flew a Sea Sprite for several years before being selected to serve in the 160th SOAR. Upon completing SEAR and Advanced Combat Training, she served with the Night Stalkers for the rest of her career. When she was 26 she met James Tyler while transferring a Delta team to his SSVN for a mission. Weather forced her to stay onboard for a week, and the two hit it off, and the rest is history. She is currently retired residing at the Tyler family estate in Charleston.

Leah Tyler, 57, currently works for the CAS FBI. She awakened when she was only 4, displaying great aptitude for sorcery. She was recruited to the FBI straight out of highschool. Later she learned that this was two-fold. One, to use her skills, and two, to keep an eye on her. She excelled in her career. Today, she is a Magic 13 Hermetic Magician. She serves on a rapid response team specializing in awakened threats.

Samuel Tyler, 47, Currently serves at Camp Lejeune as an instructor. Specifically, he oversees the practical training of new Force Recon Marines. Having served in MARSOC for 32 years, he now trains the next generation of Marines. He visits home more often than any of the other siblings, being that he is so close.

Mrs. Anna Roberts-Tyler, 46, is a Naval Engineer currently serving in Charleston. She served on SSNs and SSVNs during her career as an Engineering Officer. She currently oversees all new installations and refueling of fusion reactors for the CAS Atlantic Fleet. Work keeps her away from home, and often takes her overseas for weeks at a time. She is also a Magic 8 Physad and uses her talents to help her work in extremely hostile environments. Her husband is a Mr. Michael Roberts who works at ONI, specializing in underwater reconnaissance and intelligence.

Ezekiel Tyler, 42, is a former Force Recon Marine like his brother Sam. Like his sister Kate, his career was upended by a fight with an HMHVV infected opponent. Unlike Kate, He succumbed to his infection becoming a Loup-Garou. He finished his current enlistment and was discharged. Technology allows him to live a mostly normal life, but finding employment is hard. Currently he works for the Blackwater Corporation. He has extensive training in unarmed combat and his natural claws really augment that. Kate is currently trying to get him to walk on the wild side and become a Shadowrunner, but Blackwater provides a good structure in his life, and provides everything he needs.

Katherine Tyler, 40, is a former Navy SEAL turned Shadwrunner. She enlisted in the Navy as a Diver, but volunteered for SEAL Training while in Dive school. After training she served her whole career with SEAL Team 8. She was the first female on that team, and the second ever female SEAL. She contracted HMHVV at 26, but fought off the virus and became a carrier. After the Navy, she moved to Seattle and became a mercenary, eventually becoming a full blown Shadowrunner. Currently she swears loyalty to the Great Dragon Masaru and the Hukbong Bayan. She has a very close relationship to the Great Spirit Teldragon, and there are rumors that this is very much a master-servant relationship.

==Appearance==

===Cyberware and Bioware===
Most of Kate's ware is actually very subtle. Only her Fangs, Claws, Cybereyes, Datajacks, and Orthoskin Mods are actually visible. She has a datajack behind her left ear and one on her right wrist. Her fangs are vampire-like and usually always visible. Her claws are often hid behind gloves due to her HMHVV. Her Sharkskin mod is visible as rough skin on her arms and legs. Dragon Hide is shown as subtle smooth scales across her shoulders, back, and chest. Her Cybereyes exhibit the normal slight glow, and hers are colored purple. They match her original eye color.

===Tattoos and Scars===
She bears numerous small scars from her service, but one stands out. A jagged claw scar extends from the base of her neck to her shoulder. This is where a ghoul grabbed her and cut along the top plate of her armor through the Kevlar. It healed, but left a very prominent scar. This can be seen if she wears a t-shirt. It can just barely be seen over the collar of an armored jacket or dress coat.

Kate has numerous tattoos as well. She has a full right sleeve that's very much CAS and military inspired. She has a SEAL trident on the back of her neck, but low enough to be concealed by a collard shirt. She also has a lunging shark on her left arm.

Kate recently had Grey Mana Tattoos done on her back in the form of a large shark. The tail starts just above her butt, curves up her back, and over her right shoulder. The shark's jaws open just under her collarbones. This makes it so it is visually hidden wearing clothes, but as with all grey mana tattoos, awakened can see it for what it is.

===Clothing===
Kate is a tall, fit former CAS Navy SEAL.

She typically wears a knee length black and silver armor jacket over a long sleeve shirt. She wears black pants and black custom Lonestar Bates combat boots. Her jacket has the image of a black and blue dragon on the back and the words “Hukbong Bayan” on the top across her shoulders.

She typically carries her Cavalier Evanator, Victorinox blades, tricked out commlink, drug injectors, BTLs, and assorted normal everyday things on her person wherever she goes.

Kate in SWAT Armor looks like a typical military Special Operator. She wears a small CAS flag patch on her right shoulder, and a small black dragon with white horns and the letters "H-U-K" on the other shoulder. Loaded out, she carries a custom FN-HAR and rotary grenade launcher on slings, with microgrenades and ammunition strapped to her rig. She wears a low profile backpack filled with tools and supplies, and usually carries a few kilos of C4 with her. She also sports a very large claymore across her back.

Kate wears her old CAS dog tags everywhere. She breaks this habit only in certain situations. In addition to the two that are normally there, she has a red one that says "CARRIER" on one side, and "HMHVV III" on the other.

===Matrix Persona===
She uses a blue shark for her matrix persona. Her agent appears as a blue corgi made of energy or electricity of some sort. They occasionally have glitches where they appear as a large detailed wolf, but glitch back to normal after a split second. They seem to have a dog brain one moment and intelligent the next. This is due to the fact that Von Neumann used an actual sapient AI that was stripped down in the construction of her agent.

StormSeeker2214: /* Enemies */

{{Redbox|<center>Kate is a proud citizen of the CAS. While she is patriotic towards everything related to the South, her family and friends have nothing but disdain for slavery and racism towards any part of metahumanity. She respects her Southern war heroes, but not all of their values. Her attitude in-game reflects this.</center>}}

{{Redbox|<center>Kate is sworn to the Great Dragon Masaru's service.</center>}}

{{roundbox|<center>What's the point in succeeding if succeeding is easy?

I want no part of easy.

I want the struggle,

I want the fight,

I want the pain.

And then I want the best feeling of all.

And I won.</center>}}

===Summary===
"Navy SEAL training was the great equalizer. Nothing mattered except your will to succeed."

"A sword wields no strength, unless the hand that holds it has courage."

Kate is a former CAS Navy SEAL. She came from a military family. She is proud, but feels like she lives in her father's shadow. She left South Carolina soon after her discharge to make her own name in the world. Her service career was exemplary, but her father was an Admiral and he often overshadows her.

Her old callsign was "Starlight". She was originally the only female in SEAL Team 8, and some PO3 made the mistake of saying she was "Pretty as starlight", which earned him a punch in the mouth. Unfortunately, the joke stuck and so did the name.

Kate is a warrior born. She specializes in tactical insertions, amphibious ops, diving and underwater demolitions. Her marksmanship skills are excellent. In the Teams, she was notorious for her propensity to blow things up, or at least try to. Recently she has developed her physical combat skills and now prefers melee combat. Kate is a skill monkey. She can throw dice on almost any active skill, and knows a surprising amount of knowledge skills. She possesses decent hacking skills.

Kate is not awakened, but possesses more knowledge than most mages. She has deep resources to call on to deal with these threats, and can often surprise her foes with her knowledge.

Kate serves the Great Form Guidance Spirit [[Teldragon]]. She promised to assist him in his endeavors regarding the [https://shreloaded.net/wiki/Dead_Gods_Stir Horned God]. Kate recently engaged in a temporary power pact with him. She has performed the Assensing, Divination, and Psychometry skills and powers at an effective magic 14.

Alice Kane and Bautista both know that she is an HMHVV carrier. Alice is her personal cybersurgeon, and Kate pays the premium to make sure everything is safe and OK with her operations.

Kate has Grey Mana tattoos on her back. Rating 3.

Kate is a Consummate Professional. Once she gives her word, she doesn't easily break it. Only rarely has this been done, and only for the right reasons.

Officially, Kate is a member of the [[Huk]] who directly reports to [[Bautista]]. Unofficially, She is one of Masaru's Shadowrunners he has on retainer.

===Goals===
Kate's thirst for knowledge is insatiable. Everything that drives her forward revolves around the possibility of learning something new.
===Esoteric Lore===
Kate's library is large and includes many rare and sometimes forbidden books. Most are on magic and ancient history, all the way back into the 4th world. Some of her more rare and valuable items include:

Al Azif (Fragmentary, Arabic)

De Vermiis Mysteriis (Latin)

Unaussprechlichen Kulten (German)

Pnakotic Manuscripts (Greek)

Seven Cryptical Books of Hsan (Mandarin Chinese)

Thaumaturgical Prodigies in the New-England Canaan (English)

==Blacktooth Dagger==
Kate's most treasured possession is a Blacktooth Dagger. Normally it represents membership to Assets Inc., hers was a gift from [[Ryan Mercury]] after rescuing his teammates during the [[GTFO of GeMiTo]] Run. It represents all her hard work and accomplishments in the Shadows. It is also a symbol of her dedication to stand against the dark, evil things that threaten our world. Her goals don't always follow those of the Foundation, but more often than not she finds herself fighting on the same side as them.

==Starshatter==
<s>Kate wields the masterfully hand forged claymore Starshatter. She spends part of each day training with it, and it has since become an extension of herself. The sword was forged by Onotari Arms in Germany and shipped to her. A little incentive from S-K to pay her back, and show her who she should really be working for. It was an "anonymous" gift from one Hans Brackhaus. The hilt is leather over black wood, with a steel cross-guard. The blade is made of a proprietary Onotari Arms tool steel alloy resistant to corrosion and breaking. The blade is almost a pure silver-white, and catches the light easily. On the blade is an inscription written in German, ''"Die stärksten Klingen werden mit Drachenfeuer geschmiedet"''. The sword itself stands 1.4 meters tall, and Kate has a tendency to use it more akin to an axe than a sword due to it's sheer size and weight.</s>

<s>As of Sangre Por Sangre, the weapon was further customized. A specialist from the Draco Foundation had the hilt replaced with a black bone-like material, and glowing draconic runes were etched into the blade. What started as a masterpiece by Onotari Arms was made into a work of art by Brackhaus, and what he made a work of art was remade into a truly unique blade by the Draco Foundation.</s>

<s>It is her most unique and defining item she owns. It represents a great deal of respect between herself, and the dragons. </s>

<s>The runes are a R7 unbound Weapon Focus. Assensing detects Draconic Magic used to create it.</s>

Starshatter is currently in the possession of Lofwyr's agent, Scale.

==Kate's Collection of Blades==
Kate has a large collection of unique blades. Most are not old, but all are singular.

Lung's Gift - A replacement for Starshatter. Kate gave Lung a tip about the Fourth Coin of Luck, and in return was gifted a masterwork of Longquan steel. A claymore with a sharkskin handle, black cross guard, and a blade forged by the greatest smith in China.

Blacktooth Dagger - The mark of membership to Assets Inc. Given to her by Quicksilver. Contains an unbound F7 Draconic Weapon Focus.

Onotari Arms Mk III Dive Knife - Kate's knife from her SEAL days. Broken and remade multiple times, it is her oldest companion. The blade bears the words "Facta, Non Verba".

Matched Vibro Blade Cutlass and Knife - A matched pair of vibro blades, serrated and wicked. They complete her true Huk persona.

Mr. Braun's commemorative Stiletto - A commemoration to Dr. Braun, a pioneer in biotechnology. Retrieved from a bunker holding a Horror Show Shedim captive.

Silver Trident - For looks, mostly. An item made as a reward from a fencing tournament in France. Exceptional quality.

Hatred's Bite - A Spanish style rapier. Commissioned when she began learning the style.

Heartrender - An Ares-made blade. One of their special mono-edged swords.

Inu No Kiba - A decorative vibrosword bearing inscriptions of a legend about an Inugami. Presented by the leader of a Dog Shifter tribe on Yomi Island.

Hinode - A Katana, specially made using the old ways with modern steel. A blend of tradition and technology.

Matched Victorinox Sword and Knife - Matched to her favorite black dress. Concealable lethality.

==Background==
Kate was born in Charleston, South Carolina. Her father was an Admiral in the CAS Navy and former Captain of an SSVN, and her mother served in the CAS Airforce. Kate joined the CAS Navy when she was 17. Initially, she signed up as a Navy Diver, but her high aptitude and technical skills opened up more dangerous jobs. She volunteered for the SEALs when she was 19, completing training a year later.

She once got to participate in a PR exchange program where she and 11 others went to Moscow for 3 months. She learned new fighting styles from the Red Army, and picked up some specialized skills there.

When she was 29, she became infected with HMHVV III. Her team boarded a vessel that had gone dark off the coast of Virginia. Turns out everyone onboard was a ghoul. Out of 8 SEALS that went in, 2 came out. Her PO1, who was fine, and Kate, who had been exposed. She fought off the infection but became a carrier. It made her sort of a pariah, but allowed her to become more specialized, being able to fight those infected with the Krieger Strain without the risk of consequence.

She had a long and prestigious career in the Navy. She achieved the rank of PO1, retiring after 20 years of service. Her constant desire to strive for greatness led her to acquire more and more cyber and bioware. She has sculpted her body to have many subtle but important enhancements. Anything she lacks she makes up for with her skills and training.

She moved to Seattle after this to work as a civilian contactor. A friend who moved there said she might find work. Initially she thought to contract to the UCAS Navy, but found them annoying to work for. Plus they didn't seem to like her due to her previous employment in the CAS Navy. She receives a pension from the Navy, but donates 100% of it to a charity fund dedicated to wounded and disabled soldiers and veterans. She doesn't even count this income as hers at this point.

She soon discovered the life of Shadowrunning to supplement her income. Plus she wanted the excitement since civilian life is so boring.

==Kate's Family==
Admiral James Tyler, 93, began his 45 year career with the CAS Navy at the young age of 17. He joined with a waiver from his parents. He began his career as an enlisted SONAR Technician, serving his first tour on the fast attack submarine CSS Lee. Admiral Tyler served for 12 years, attaining the rank of Chief Petty Officer before being selected into Officer Candidate School. After receiving his commission, he served as the ASW Officer on the CSS Savannah. Serving with distinction, he received his first command of a patrol submarine when he was made Lieutenant. His promotion to Captain saw him command the CSS Richmond, one of the newly commissioned SSVN class submarines. This would prove to be his most prestigious command. After the Richmond, he served at numerous positions of leadership, eventually serving his final 10 years at the Naval War College. His insight led to numerous tactical advances for the Navy.

Mrs. Samantha McCallister-Tyler, 83, was born in Missouri and joined the Army to get off of her family’s farm. She enlisted originally into the non-combat pilot program, but was picked up for Officer Candidate School in training. After graduating flight school, she flew a Sea Sprite for several years before being selected to serve in the 160th SOAR. Upon completing SEAR and Advanced Combat Training, she served with the Night Stalkers for the rest of her career. When she was 26 she met James Tyler while transferring a Delta team to his SSVN for a mission. Weather forced her to stay onboard for a week, and the two hit it off, and the rest is history. She is currently retired residing at the Tyler family estate in Charleston.

Leah Tyler, 57, currently works for the CAS FBI. She awakened when she was only 4, displaying great aptitude for sorcery. She was recruited to the FBI straight out of highschool. Later she learned that this was two-fold. One, to use her skills, and two, to keep an eye on her. She excelled in her career. Today, she is a Magic 13 Hermetic Magician. She serves on a rapid response team specializing in awakened threats.

Samuel Tyler, 47, Currently serves at Camp Lejeune as an instructor. Specifically, he oversees the practical training of new Force Recon Marines. Having served in MARSOC for 32 years, he now trains the next generation of Marines. He visits home more often than any of the other siblings, being that he is so close.

Mrs. Anna Roberts-Tyler, 46, is a Naval Engineer currently serving in Charleston. She served on SSNs and SSVNs during her career as an Engineering Officer. She currently oversees all new installations and refueling of fusion reactors for the CAS Atlantic Fleet. Work keeps her away from home, and often takes her overseas for weeks at a time. She is also a Magic 8 Physad and uses her talents to help her work in extremely hostile environments. Her husband is a Mr. Michael Roberts who works at ONI, specializing in underwater reconnaissance and intelligence.

Ezekiel Tyler, 42, is a former Force Recon Marine like his brother Sam. Like his sister Kate, his career was upended by a fight with an HMHVV infected opponent. Unlike Kate, He succumbed to his infection becoming a Loup-Garou. He finished his current enlistment and was discharged. Technology allows him to live a mostly normal life, but finding employment is hard. Currently he works for the Blackwater Corporation. He has extensive training in unarmed combat and his natural claws really augment that. Kate is currently trying to get him to walk on the wild side and become a Shadowrunner, but Blackwater provides a good structure in his life, and provides everything he needs.

Katherine Tyler, 40, is a former Navy SEAL turned Shadwrunner. She enlisted in the Navy as a Diver, but volunteered for SEAL Training while in Dive school. After training she served her whole career with SEAL Team 8. She was the first female on that team, and the second ever female SEAL. She contracted HMHVV at 26, but fought off the virus and became a carrier. After the Navy, she moved to Seattle and became a mercenary, eventually becoming a full blown Shadowrunner. Currently she swears loyalty to the Great Dragon Masaru and the Hukbong Bayan. She has a very close relationship to the Great Spirit Teldragon, and there are rumors that this is very much a master-servant relationship.

CAS - Real - Katherine Tyler.

UCAS - R6 Fake - Taylor Thompson.

CFS - R6 Fake - Samantha Frost

Ares - R6 Fake - Britney Meyers

Saeder-Krupp - R6 Fake - Celine Rheingold

FGS - R6 Fake - Alexa Wexler

==Appearance==

===Cyberware and Bioware===
Most of Kate's ware is actually very subtle. Only her Fangs, Claws, Cybereyes, Datajacks, and Orthoskin Mods are actually visible. She has a datajack behind her left ear and one on her right wrist. Her fangs are vampire-like and usually always visible. Her claws are often hid behind gloves due to her HMHVV. Her Sharkskin mod is visible as rough skin on her arms and legs. Dragon Hide is shown as subtle smooth scales across her shoulders, back, and chest. Her Cybereyes exhibit the normal slight glow, and hers are colored purple. They match her original eye color.

===Tattoos and Scars===
She bears numerous small scars from her service, but one stands out. A jagged claw scar extends from the base of her neck to her shoulder. This is where a ghoul grabbed her and cut along the top plate of her armor through the Kevlar. It healed, but left a very prominent scar. This can be seen if she wears a t-shirt. It can just barely be seen over the collar of an armored jacket or dress coat.

Kate has numerous tattoos as well. She has a full right sleeve that's very much CAS and military inspired. She has a SEAL trident on the back of her neck, but low enough to be concealed by a collard shirt. She also has a lunging shark on her left arm.

Kate recently had Grey Mana Tattoos done on her back in the form of a large shark. The tail starts just above her butt, curves up her back, and over her right shoulder. The shark's jaws open just under her collarbones. This makes it so it is visually hidden wearing clothes, but as with all grey mana tattoos, awakened can see it for what it is.

===Clothing===
Kate is a tall, fit former CAS Navy SEAL.

She typically wears a knee length black and silver armor jacket over a long sleeve shirt. She wears black pants and black custom Lonestar Bates combat boots. Her jacket has the image of a black and blue dragon on the back and the words “Hukbong Bayan” on the top across her shoulders.

She typically carries her Cavalier Evanator, Victorinox blades, tricked out commlink, drug injectors, BTLs, and assorted normal everyday things on her person wherever she goes.

Kate in SWAT Armor looks like a typical military Special Operator. She wears a small CAS flag patch on her right shoulder, and a small black dragon with white horns and the letters "H-U-K" on the other shoulder. Loaded out, she carries a custom FN-HAR and rotary grenade launcher on slings, with microgrenades and ammunition strapped to her rig. She wears a low profile backpack filled with tools and supplies, and usually carries a few kilos of C4 with her. She also sports a very large claymore across her back.

Kate wears her old CAS dog tags everywhere. She breaks this habit only in certain situations. In addition to the two that are normally there, she has a red one that says "CARRIER" on one side, and "HMHVV III" on the other.

===Matrix Persona===
She uses a blue shark for her matrix persona. Her agent appears as a blue corgi made of energy or electricity of some sort. They occasionally have glitches where they appear as a large detailed wolf, but glitch back to normal after a split second. They seem to have a dog brain one moment and intelligent the next. This is due to the fact that Von Neumann used an actual sapient AI that was stripped down in the construction of her agent.

StormSeeker2214:

{{Redbox|<center>Kate is a proud citizen of the CAS. While she is patriotic towards everything related to the South, her family and friends have nothing but disdain for slavery and racism towards any part of metahumanity. She respects her Southern war heroes, but not all of their values. Her attitude in-game reflects this.</center>}}

{{Redbox|<center>Kate is sworn to the Great Dragon Masaru's service.</center>}}

{{roundbox|<center>What's the point in succeeding if succeeding is easy?

I want no part of easy.

I want the struggle,

I want the fight,

I want the pain.

And then I want the best feeling of all.

That the world did everything it could to beat me,

And I won.</center>}}

|Masaru holds her leash. Brackhaus also has significant influence over her. She also tries to stay on good terms with the Draco Foundation.

|Prone to Violence
|Kate likes to take the direct approach. She will stick to and follow any plan, but left to her own devices she tends to get a little loud and messy.

|Esoteric and Forbidden Knowledge
|Kate possesses more magical knowledge than the next two Haven mages. Without being awakened, she has been on multiple journeys to other planes, dealt with spirits, been in spirit pacts, etc... She even met the Dweller once. She could give a better thesis on most magical studies than most students at MIT&T. The downside is that she has an ''insatiable'' thirst for knowledge. This can put her in compromising situations.

===Summary===
"Navy SEAL training was the great equalizer. Nothing mattered except your will to succeed."

"A sword wields no strength, unless the hand that holds it has courage."

Kate is a former CAS Navy SEAL. She came from a military family. She is proud, but feels like she lives in her father's shadow. She left South Carolina soon after her discharge to make her own name in the world. Her service career was exemplary, but her father was an Admiral and he often overshadows her.

Her old callsign was "Starlight". She was originally the only female in SEAL Team 8, and some PO3 made the mistake of saying she was "Pretty as starlight", which earned him a punch in the mouth. Unfortunately, the joke stuck and so did the name.

Kate is a warrior born. She specializes in tactical insertions, amphibious ops, diving and underwater demolitions. Her marksmanship skills are excellent. In the Teams, she was notorious for her propensity to blow things up, or at least try to. Recently she has developed her physical combat skills and now prefers melee combat. Kate is a skill monkey. She can throw dice on almost any active skill, and knows a surprising amount of knowledge skills. She possesses decent hacking skills.

Kate is not awakened, but possesses more knowledge than most mages. She has deep resources to call on to deal with these threats, and can often surprise her foes with her knowledge.

Kate serves the Great Form Guidance Spirit [[Teldragon]]. She promised to assist him in his endeavors regarding the [https://shreloaded.net/wiki/Dead_Gods_Stir Horned God]. Kate recently engaged in a temporary power pact with him. She has performed the Assensing, Divination, and Psychometry skills and powers at an effective magic 14.

Alice Kane and Bautista both know that she is an HMHVV carrier. Alice is her personal cybersurgeon, and Kate pays the premium to make sure everything is safe and OK with her operations.

Kate has Grey Mana tattoos on her back. Rating 3.

Kate is a Consummate Professional. Once she gives her word, she doesn't easily break it. Only rarely has this been done, and only for the right reasons.

Officially, Kate is a member of the [[Huk]] who directly reports to [[Bautista]]. Unofficially, She is one of Masaru's Shadowrunners he has on retainer.

===Goals===
Kate's thirst for knowledge is insatiable. Everything that drives her forward revolves around the possibility of learning something new.
===Esoteric Lore===
Kate's library is large and includes many rare and sometimes forbidden books. Most are on magic and ancient history, all the way back into the 4th world. Some of her more rare and valuable items include:

Al Azif (Fragmentary, Arabic)

De Vermiis Mysteriis (Latin)

Unaussprechlichen Kulten (German)

Pnakotic Manuscripts (Greek)

Seven Cryptical Books of Hsan (Mandarin Chinese)

Thaumaturgical Prodigies in the New-England Canaan (English)

==Blacktooth Dagger==
Kate's most treasured possession is a Blacktooth Dagger. Normally it represents membership to Assets Inc., hers was a gift from [[Ryan Mercury]] after rescuing his teammates during the [[GTFO of GeMiTo]] Run. It represents all her hard work and accomplishments in the Shadows. It is also a symbol of her dedication to stand against the dark, evil things that threaten our world. Her goals don't always follow those of the Foundation, but more often than not she finds herself fighting on the same side as them.

==Starshatter==
<s>Kate wields the masterfully hand forged claymore Starshatter. She spends part of each day training with it, and it has since become an extension of herself. The sword was forged by Onotari Arms in Germany and shipped to her. A little incentive from S-K to pay her back, and show her who she should really be working for. It was an "anonymous" gift from one Hans Brackhaus. The hilt is leather over black wood, with a steel cross-guard. The blade is made of a proprietary Onotari Arms tool steel alloy resistant to corrosion and breaking. The blade is almost a pure silver-white, and catches the light easily. On the blade is an inscription written in German, ''"Die stärksten Klingen werden mit Drachenfeuer geschmiedet"''. The sword itself stands 1.4 meters tall, and Kate has a tendency to use it more akin to an axe than a sword due to it's sheer size and weight.</s>

<s>As of Sangre Por Sangre, the weapon was further customized. A specialist from the Draco Foundation had the hilt replaced with a black bone-like material, and glowing draconic runes were etched into the blade. What started as a masterpiece by Onotari Arms was made into a work of art by Brackhaus, and what he made a work of art was remade into a truly unique blade by the Draco Foundation.</s>

<s>It is her most unique and defining item she owns. It represents a great deal of respect between herself, and the dragons. </s>

<s>The runes are a R7 unbound Weapon Focus. Assensing detects Draconic Magic used to create it.</s>

Starshatter is currently in the possession of Lofwyr's agent, Scale.

==Kate's Collection of Blades==
Kate has a large collection of unique blades. Most are not old, but all are singular.

Lung's Gift - A replacement for Starshatter. Kate gave Lung a tip about the Fourth Coin of Luck, and in return was gifted a masterwork of Longquan steel. A claymore with a sharkskin handle, black cross guard, and a blade forged by the greatest smith in China.

Blacktooth Dagger - The mark of membership to Assets Inc. Given to her by Quicksilver. Contains an unbound F7 Draconic Weapon Focus.

Onotari Arms Mk III Dive Knife - Kate's knife from her SEAL days. Broken and remade multiple times, it is her oldest companion. The blade bears the words "Facta, Non Verba".

Matched Vibro Blade Cutlass and Knife - A matched pair of vibro blades, serrated and wicked. They complete her true Huk persona.

Mr. Braun's commemorative Stiletto - A commemoration to Dr. Braun, a pioneer in biotechnology. Retrieved from a bunker holding a Horror Show Shedim captive.

Silver Trident - For looks, mostly. An item made as a reward from a fencing tournament in France. Exceptional quality.

Hatred's Bite - A Spanish style rapier. Commissioned when she began learning the style.

Heartrender - An Ares-made blade. One of their special mono-edged swords.

Inu No Kiba - A decorative vibrosword bearing inscriptions of a legend about an Inugami. Presented by the leader of a Dog Shifter tribe on Yomi Island.

Hinode - A Katana, specially made using the old ways with modern steel. A blend of tradition and technology.

Matched Victorinox Sword and Knife - Matched to her favorite black dress. Concealable lethality.

==Background==
Kate was born in Charleston, South Carolina. Her father was an Admiral in the CAS Navy and former Captain of an SSVN, and her mother served in the CAS Airforce. Kate joined the CAS Navy when she was 17. Initially, she signed up as a Navy Diver, but her high aptitude and technical skills opened up more dangerous jobs. She volunteered for the SEALs when she was 19, completing training a year later.

She once got to participate in a PR exchange program where she and 11 others went to Moscow for 3 months. She learned new fighting styles from the Red Army, and picked up some specialized skills there.

When she was 29, she became infected with HMHVV III. Her team boarded a vessel that had gone dark off the coast of Virginia. Turns out everyone onboard was a ghoul. Out of 8 SEALS that went in, 2 came out. Her PO1, who was fine, and Kate, who had been exposed. She fought off the infection but became a carrier. It made her sort of a pariah, but allowed her to become more specialized, being able to fight those infected with the Krieger Strain without the risk of consequence.

She had a long and prestigious career in the Navy. She achieved the rank of PO1, retiring after 20 years of service. Her constant desire to strive for greatness led her to acquire more and more cyber and bioware. She has sculpted her body to have many subtle but important enhancements. Anything she lacks she makes up for with her skills and training.

She moved to Seattle after this to work as a civilian contactor. A friend who moved there said she might find work. Initially she thought to contract to the UCAS Navy, but found them annoying to work for. Plus they didn't seem to like her due to her previous employment in the CAS Navy. She receives a pension from the Navy, but donates 100% of it to a charity fund dedicated to wounded and disabled soldiers and veterans. She doesn't even count this income as hers at this point.

She soon discovered the life of Shadowrunning to supplement her income. Plus she wanted the excitement since civilian life is so boring.

==Kate's Family==
Admiral James Tyler, 93, began his 45 year career with the CAS Navy at the young age of 17. He joined with a waiver from his parents. He began his career as an enlisted SONAR Technician, serving his first tour on the fast attack submarine CSS Lee. Admiral Tyler served for 12 years, attaining the rank of Chief Petty Officer before being selected into Officer Candidate School. After receiving his commission, he served as the ASW Officer on the CSS Savannah. Serving with distinction, he received his first command of a patrol submarine when he was made Lieutenant. His promotion to Captain saw him command the CSS Richmond, one of the newly commissioned SSVN class submarines. This would prove to be his most prestigious command. After the Richmond, he served at numerous positions of leadership, eventually serving his final 10 years at the Naval War College. His insight led to numerous tactical advances for the Navy.

Mrs. Samantha McCallister-Tyler, 83, was born in Missouri and joined the Army to get off of her family’s farm. She enlisted originally into the non-combat pilot program, but was picked up for Officer Candidate School in training. After graduating flight school, she flew a Sea Sprite for several years before being selected to serve in the 160th SOAR. Upon completing SEAR and Advanced Combat Training, she served with the Night Stalkers for the rest of her career. When she was 26 she met James Tyler while transferring a Delta team to his SSVN for a mission. Weather forced her to stay onboard for a week, and the two hit it off, and the rest is history. She is currently retired residing at the Tyler family estate in Charleston.

Leah Tyler, 57, currently works for the CAS FBI. She awakened when she was only 4, displaying great aptitude for sorcery. She was recruited to the FBI straight out of highschool. Later she learned that this was two-fold. One, to use her skills, and two, to keep an eye on her. She excelled in her career. Today, she is a Magic 13 Hermetic Magician. She serves on a rapid response team specializing in awakened threats.

Samuel Tyler, 47, Currently serves at Camp Lejeune as an instructor. Specifically, he oversees the practical training of new Force Recon Marines. Having served in MARSOC for 32 years, he now trains the next generation of Marines. He visits home more often than any of the other siblings, being that he is so close.

Mrs. Anna Roberts-Tyler, 46, is a Naval Engineer currently serving in Charleston. She served on SSNs and SSVNs during her career as an Engineering Officer. She currently oversees all new installations and refueling of fusion reactors for the CAS Atlantic Fleet. Work keeps her away from home, and often takes her overseas for weeks at a time. She is also a Magic 8 Physad and uses her talents to help her work in extremely hostile environments. Her husband is a Mr. Michael Roberts who works at ONI, specializing in underwater reconnaissance and intelligence.

Ezekiel Tyler, 42, is a former Force Recon Marine like his brother Sam. Like his sister Kate, his career was upended by a fight with an HMHVV infected opponent. Unlike Kate, He succumbed to his infection becoming a Loup-Garou. He finished his current enlistment and was discharged. Technology allows him to live a mostly normal life, but finding employment is hard. Currently he works for the Blackwater Corporation. He has extensive training in unarmed combat and his natural claws really augment that. Kate is currently trying to get him to walk on the wild side and become a Shadowrunner, but Blackwater provides a good structure in his life, and provides everything he needs.

Katherine Tyler, 40, is a former Navy SEAL turned Shadwrunner. She enlisted in the Navy as a Diver, but volunteered for SEAL Training while in Dive school. After training she served her whole career with SEAL Team 8. She was the first female on that team, and the second ever female SEAL. She contracted HMHVV at 26, but fought off the virus and became a carrier. After the Navy, she moved to Seattle and became a mercenary, eventually becoming a full blown Shadowrunner. Currently she swears loyalty to the Great Dragon Masaru and the Hukbong Bayan. She has a very close relationship to the Great Spirit Teldragon, and there are rumors that this is very much a master-servant relationship.

UCAS - R6 Fake - Taylor Thompson.

CFS - R6 Fake - Samantha Frost

Ares - R6 Fake - Britney Meyers

Saeder-Krupp - R6 Fake - Celine Rheingold

FGS - R6 Fake - Alexa Wexler

==Appearance==

===Cyberware and Bioware===
Most of Kate's ware is actually very subtle. Only her Fangs, Claws, Cybereyes, Datajacks, and Orthoskin Mods are actually visible. She has a datajack behind her left ear and one on her right wrist. Her fangs are vampire-like and usually always visible. Her claws are often hid behind gloves due to her HMHVV. Her Sharkskin mod is visible as rough skin on her arms and legs. Dragon Hide is shown as subtle smooth scales across her shoulders, back, and chest. Her Cybereyes exhibit the normal slight glow, and hers are colored purple. They match her original eye color.

===Tattoos and Scars===
She bears numerous small scars from her service, but one stands out. A jagged claw scar extends from the base of her neck to her shoulder. This is where a ghoul grabbed her and cut along the top plate of her armor through the Kevlar. It healed, but left a very prominent scar. This can be seen if she wears a t-shirt. It can just barely be seen over the collar of an armored jacket or dress coat.

Kate has numerous tattoos as well. She has a full right sleeve that's very much CAS and military inspired. She has a SEAL trident on the back of her neck, but low enough to be concealed by a collard shirt. She also has a lunging shark on her left arm.

Kate recently had Grey Mana Tattoos done on her back in the form of a large shark. The tail starts just above her butt, curves up her back, and over her right shoulder. The shark's jaws open just under her collarbones. This makes it so it is visually hidden wearing clothes, but as with all grey mana tattoos, awakened can see it for what it is.

===Clothing===
Kate is a tall, fit former CAS Navy SEAL.

She typically wears a knee length black and silver armor jacket over a long sleeve shirt. She wears black pants and black custom Lonestar Bates combat boots. Her jacket has the image of a black and blue dragon on the back and the words “Hukbong Bayan” on the top across her shoulders.

She typically carries her Cavalier Evanator, Victorinox blades, tricked out commlink, drug injectors, BTLs, and assorted normal everyday things on her person wherever she goes.

Kate in SWAT Armor looks like a typical military Special Operator. She wears a small CAS flag patch on her right shoulder, and a small black dragon with white horns and the letters "H-U-K" on the other shoulder. Loaded out, she carries a custom FN-HAR and rotary grenade launcher on slings, with microgrenades and ammunition strapped to her rig. She wears a low profile backpack filled with tools and supplies, and usually carries a few kilos of C4 with her. She also sports a very large claymore across her back.

Kate wears her old CAS dog tags everywhere. She breaks this habit only in certain situations. In addition to the two that are normally there, she has a red one that says "CARRIER" on one side, and "HMHVV III" on the other.

===Matrix Persona===
She uses a blue shark for her matrix persona. Her agent appears as a blue corgi made of energy or electricity of some sort. They occasionally have glitches where they appear as a large detailed wolf, but glitch back to normal after a split second. They seem to have a dog brain one moment and intelligent the next. This is due to the fact that Von Neumann used an actual sapient AI that was stripped down in the construction of her agent.

StormSeeker2214:

{{Redbox|<center>Kate is a proud citizen of the CAS. While she is patriotic towards everything related to the South, her family and friends have nothing but disdain for slavery and racism towards any part of metahumanity. She respects her Southern war heroes, but not all of their values. Her attitude in-game reflects this.</center>}}

{{Redbox|<center>Kate is sworn to the Great Dragon Masaru's service.</center>}}

{{roundbox|<center>What's the point in succeeding if succeeding is easy?

I want no part of easy.

I want the struggle,

I want the fight,

I want the pain.

And then I want the best feeling of all.

That the world did everything it could to beat me,

And I won.</center>}}

===Summary===
"Navy SEAL training was the great equalizer. Nothing mattered except your will to succeed."

"A sword wields no strength, unless the hand that holds it has courage."

Kate is a former CAS Navy SEAL. She came from a military family. She is proud, but feels like she lives in her father's shadow. She left South Carolina soon after her discharge to make her own name in the world. Her service career was exemplary, but her father was an Admiral and he often overshadows her.

Her old callsign was "Starlight". She was originally the only female in SEAL Team 8, and some PO3 made the mistake of saying she was "Pretty as starlight", which earned him a punch in the mouth. Unfortunately, the joke stuck and so did the name.

Kate is a warrior born. She specializes in tactical insertions, amphibious ops, diving and underwater demolitions. Her marksmanship skills are excellent. In the Teams, she was notorious for her propensity to blow things up, or at least try to. Recently she has developed her physical combat skills and now prefers melee combat. Kate is a skill monkey. She can throw dice on almost any active skill, and knows a surprising amount of knowledge skills. She possesses decent hacking skills.

Kate is not awakened, but possesses more knowledge than most mages. She has deep resources to call on to deal with these threats, and can often surprise her foes with her knowledge.

Kate serves the Great Form Guidance Spirit [[Teldragon]]. She promised to assist him in his endeavors regarding the [https://shreloaded.net/wiki/Dead_Gods_Stir Horned God]. Kate recently engaged in a temporary power pact with him. She has performed the Assensing, Divination, and Psychometry skills and powers at an effective magic 14.

Alice Kane and Bautista both know that she is an HMHVV carrier. Alice is her personal cybersurgeon, and Kate pays the premium to make sure everything is safe and OK with her operations.

Kate has Grey Mana tattoos on her back. Rating 3.

Kate is a Consummate Professional. Once she gives her word, she doesn't easily break it. Only rarely has this been done, and only for the right reasons.

Officially, Kate is a member of the [[Huk]] who directly reports to [[Bautista]]. Unofficially, She is one of Masaru's Shadowrunners he has on retainer.

===Goals===
Kate's thirst for knowledge is insatiable. Everything that drives her forward revolves around the possibility of learning something new.
===Esoteric Lore===
Kate's library is large and includes many rare and sometimes forbidden books. Most are on magic and ancient history, all the way back into the 4th world. Some of her more rare and valuable items include:

Al Azif (Fragmentary, Arabic)

De Vermiis Mysteriis (Latin)

Unaussprechlichen Kulten (German)

Pnakotic Manuscripts (Greek)

Seven Cryptical Books of Hsan (Mandarin Chinese)

Thaumaturgical Prodigies in the New-England Canaan (English)

==Blacktooth Dagger==
Kate's most treasured possession is a Blacktooth Dagger. Normally it represents membership to Assets Inc., hers was a gift from [[Ryan Mercury]] after rescuing his teammates during the [[GTFO of GeMiTo]] Run. It represents all her hard work and accomplishments in the Shadows. It is also a symbol of her dedication to stand against the dark, evil things that threaten our world. Her goals don't always follow those of the Foundation, but more often than not she finds herself fighting on the same side as them.

==Starshatter==
<s>Kate wields the masterfully hand forged claymore Starshatter. She spends part of each day training with it, and it has since become an extension of herself. The sword was forged by Onotari Arms in Germany and shipped to her. A little incentive from S-K to pay her back, and show her who she should really be working for. It was an "anonymous" gift from one Hans Brackhaus. The hilt is leather over black wood, with a steel cross-guard. The blade is made of a proprietary Onotari Arms tool steel alloy resistant to corrosion and breaking. The blade is almost a pure silver-white, and catches the light easily. On the blade is an inscription written in German, ''"Die stärksten Klingen werden mit Drachenfeuer geschmiedet"''. The sword itself stands 1.4 meters tall, and Kate has a tendency to use it more akin to an axe than a sword due to it's sheer size and weight.</s>

<s>As of Sangre Por Sangre, the weapon was further customized. A specialist from the Draco Foundation had the hilt replaced with a black bone-like material, and glowing draconic runes were etched into the blade. What started as a masterpiece by Onotari Arms was made into a work of art by Brackhaus, and what he made a work of art was remade into a truly unique blade by the Draco Foundation.</s>

<s>It is her most unique and defining item she owns. It represents a great deal of respect between herself, and the dragons. </s>

<s>The runes are a R7 unbound Weapon Focus. Assensing detects Draconic Magic used to create it.</s>

Starshatter is currently in the possession of Lofwyr's agent, Scale.

==Kate's Collection of Blades==
Kate has a large collection of unique blades. Most are not old, but all are singular.

Lung's Gift - A replacement for Starshatter. Kate gave Lung a tip about the Fourth Coin of Luck, and in return was gifted a masterwork of Longquan steel. A claymore with a sharkskin handle, black cross guard, and a blade forged by the greatest smith in China.

Blacktooth Dagger - The mark of membership to Assets Inc. Given to her by Quicksilver. Contains an unbound F7 Draconic Weapon Focus.

Onotari Arms Mk III Dive Knife - Kate's knife from her SEAL days. Broken and remade multiple times, it is her oldest companion. The blade bears the words "Facta, Non Verba".

Matched Vibro Blade Cutlass and Knife - A matched pair of vibro blades, serrated and wicked. They complete her true Huk persona.

Mr. Braun's commemorative Stiletto - A commemoration to Dr. Braun, a pioneer in biotechnology. Retrieved from a bunker holding a Horror Show Shedim captive.

Silver Trident - For looks, mostly. An item made as a reward from a fencing tournament in France. Exceptional quality.

Hatred's Bite - A Spanish style rapier. Commissioned when she began learning the style.

Heartrender - An Ares-made blade. One of their special mono-edged swords.

Inu No Kiba - A decorative vibrosword bearing inscriptions of a legend about an Inugami. Presented by the leader of a Dog Shifter tribe on Yomi Island.

Hinode - A Katana, specially made using the old ways with modern steel. A blend of tradition and technology.

Matched Victorinox Sword and Knife - Matched to her favorite black dress. Concealable lethality.

==Background==
Kate was born in Charleston, South Carolina. Her father was an Admiral in the CAS Navy and former Captain of an SSVN, and her mother served in the CAS Airforce. Kate joined the CAS Navy when she was 17. Initially, she signed up as a Navy Diver, but her high aptitude and technical skills opened up more dangerous jobs. She volunteered for the SEALs when she was 19, completing training a year later.

She once got to participate in a PR exchange program where she and 11 others went to Moscow for 3 months. She learned new fighting styles from the Red Army, and picked up some specialized skills there.

When she was 29, she became infected with HMHVV III. Her team boarded a vessel that had gone dark off the coast of Virginia. Turns out everyone onboard was a ghoul. Out of 8 SEALS that went in, 2 came out. Her PO1, who was fine, and Kate, who had been exposed. She fought off the infection but became a carrier. It made her sort of a pariah, but allowed her to become more specialized, being able to fight those infected with the Krieger Strain without the risk of consequence.

She had a long and prestigious career in the Navy. She achieved the rank of PO1, retiring after 20 years of service. Her constant desire to strive for greatness led her to acquire more and more cyber and bioware. She has sculpted her body to have many subtle but important enhancements. Anything she lacks she makes up for with her skills and training.

She moved to Seattle after this to work as a civilian contactor. A friend who moved there said she might find work. Initially she thought to contract to the UCAS Navy, but found them annoying to work for. Plus they didn't seem to like her due to her previous employment in the CAS Navy. She receives a pension from the Navy, but donates 100% of it to a charity fund dedicated to wounded and disabled soldiers and veterans. She doesn't even count this income as hers at this point.

She soon discovered the life of Shadowrunning to supplement her income. Plus she wanted the excitement since civilian life is so boring.

==Kate's Family==
Admiral James Tyler, 93, began his 45 year career with the CAS Navy at the young age of 17. He joined with a waiver from his parents. He began his career as an enlisted SONAR Technician, serving his first tour on the fast attack submarine CSS Lee. Admiral Tyler served for 12 years, attaining the rank of Chief Petty Officer before being selected into Officer Candidate School. After receiving his commission, he served as the ASW Officer on the CSS Savannah. Serving with distinction, he received his first command of a patrol submarine when he was made Lieutenant. His promotion to Captain saw him command the CSS Richmond, one of the newly commissioned SSVN class submarines. This would prove to be his most prestigious command. After the Richmond, he served at numerous positions of leadership, eventually serving his final 10 years at the Naval War College. His insight led to numerous tactical advances for the Navy.

Mrs. Samantha McCallister-Tyler, 83, was born in Missouri and joined the Army to get off of her family’s farm. She enlisted originally into the non-combat pilot program, but was picked up for Officer Candidate School in training. After graduating flight school, she flew a Sea Sprite for several years before being selected to serve in the 160th SOAR. Upon completing SEAR and Advanced Combat Training, she served with the Night Stalkers for the rest of her career. When she was 26 she met James Tyler while transferring a Delta team to his SSVN for a mission. Weather forced her to stay onboard for a week, and the two hit it off, and the rest is history. She is currently retired residing at the Tyler family estate in Charleston.

Leah Tyler, 57, currently works for the CAS FBI. She awakened when she was only 4, displaying great aptitude for sorcery. She was recruited to the FBI straight out of highschool. Later she learned that this was two-fold. One, to use her skills, and two, to keep an eye on her. She excelled in her career. Today, she is a Magic 13 Hermetic Magician. She serves on a rapid response team specializing in awakened threats.

Samuel Tyler, 47, Currently serves at Camp Lejeune as an instructor. Specifically, he oversees the practical training of new Force Recon Marines. Having served in MARSOC for 32 years, he now trains the next generation of Marines. He visits home more often than any of the other siblings, being that he is so close.

Mrs. Anna Roberts-Tyler, 46, is a Naval Engineer currently serving in Charleston. She served on SSNs and SSVNs during her career as an Engineering Officer. She currently oversees all new installations and refueling of fusion reactors for the CAS Atlantic Fleet. Work keeps her away from home, and often takes her overseas for weeks at a time. She is also a Magic 8 Physad and uses her talents to help her work in extremely hostile environments. Her husband is a Mr. Michael Roberts who works at ONI, specializing in underwater reconnaissance and intelligence.

Ezekiel Tyler, 42, is a former Force Recon Marine like his brother Sam. Like his sister Kate, his career was upended by a fight with an HMHVV infected opponent. Unlike Kate, He succumbed to his infection becoming a Loup-Garou. He finished his current enlistment and was discharged. Technology allows him to live a mostly normal life, but finding employment is hard. Currently he works for the Blackwater Corporation. He has extensive training in unarmed combat and his natural claws really augment that. Kate is currently trying to get him to walk on the wild side and become a Shadowrunner, but Blackwater provides a good structure in his life, and provides everything he needs.

Katherine Tyler, 40, is a former Navy SEAL turned Shadwrunner. She enlisted in the Navy as a Diver, but volunteered for SEAL Training while in Dive school. After training she served her whole career with SEAL Team 8. She was the first female on that team, and the second ever female SEAL. She contracted HMHVV at 26, but fought off the virus and became a carrier. After the Navy, she moved to Seattle and became a mercenary, eventually becoming a full blown Shadowrunner. Currently she swears loyalty to the Great Dragon Masaru and the Hukbong Bayan. She has a very close relationship to the Great Spirit Teldragon, and there are rumors that this is very much a master-servant relationship.

Vehicle Empathy - 108 Octane runs in Kate's blood. Her reflexes outside rigging are rarely matched.

Will to Live III - Kate's iron will carries her through the toughest fights.

===Negative===
<s>Addiction(Mild) Kamikaze - Man that stuff is good. A little too good maybe?</s>

A Terrible Fascination 3 - The deep dark rabbit holes, Kate had a run in with a minor Horror in Antarctica. It is known as The Harbinger. Kate also has the attention of Ysrthgrathe itself.

<s>Addiction(Mild) Guts - Kate's fearless. But magic presents a problem that even the most ironclad minds have trouble with.</s> Kate kicked that habit.

Carrier (HMHVV II, HMHVV III) - Kate became infected when she was 29. She fought off the virus, but became a carrier. Kate picked up Strain II when she was 39 from a pirate. She is very careful wherever she goes now.

Code of Honor - Akichita Code - Kate follows the values of honor popular in the NaN. One of her favorite places outside of Seattle is LA, and her frequent time spent there has led her to adopt some of the values they hold.

Lack of Focus - Kate has ADHD.

No Man Left Behind - It had taken this long for a fellow Runner to not make it out. The effect on Kate was profound. We all know the job is dangerous, but when it happened it really put it in perspective. Kate will make sure it doesn't happen again.

<s>Phobia(Uncommon, Mild) - Having her Chemseal broken in combat - Kate had a real scare of infecting Wychking with her blood. Than CANNOT happen again.</s> Not an issue anymore.

Records on File(S-K(1), Aztechnology(1)) - That's what happens when you work for dragons. You get famous! In the bad way.

SINner(CAS) - Kate was born in Charleston, South Carolina.

<s>Thousand-Yard Stare - Kate spent most of her adult life in the Navy, and has a problem dealing with civilians.</s> Kate has been out of the Navy long enough. She has learned how to interact with civilians much better.

Wanted - Aztechnology(100k) - A minor inconvenience. She spit in their face on the Sangre Por Sangre Run and expected no less.

==Appearance==

===Cyberware and Bioware===
Most of Kate's ware is actually very subtle. Only her Fangs, Claws, Cybereyes, Datajacks, and Orthoskin Mods are actually visible. She has a datajack behind her left ear and one on her right wrist. Her fangs are vampire-like and usually always visible. Her claws are often hid behind gloves due to her HMHVV. Her Sharkskin mod is visible as rough skin on her arms and legs. Dragon Hide is shown as subtle smooth scales across her shoulders, back, and chest. Her Cybereyes exhibit the normal slight glow, and hers are colored purple. They match her original eye color.

===Tattoos and Scars===
She bears numerous small scars from her service, but one stands out. A jagged claw scar extends from the base of her neck to her shoulder. This is where a ghoul grabbed her and cut along the top plate of her armor through the Kevlar. It healed, but left a very prominent scar. This can be seen if she wears a t-shirt. It can just barely be seen over the collar of an armored jacket or dress coat.

Kate has numerous tattoos as well. She has a full right sleeve that's very much CAS and military inspired. She has a SEAL trident on the back of her neck, but low enough to be concealed by a collard shirt. She also has a lunging shark on her left arm.

Kate recently had Grey Mana Tattoos done on her back in the form of a large shark. The tail starts just above her butt, curves up her back, and over her right shoulder. The shark's jaws open just under her collarbones. This makes it so it is visually hidden wearing clothes, but as with all grey mana tattoos, awakened can see it for what it is.

===Clothing===
Kate is a tall, fit former CAS Navy SEAL.

She typically wears a knee length black and silver armor jacket over a long sleeve shirt. She wears black pants and black custom Lonestar Bates combat boots. Her jacket has the image of a black and blue dragon on the back and the words “Hukbong Bayan” on the top across her shoulders.

She typically carries her Cavalier Evanator, Victorinox blades, tricked out commlink, drug injectors, BTLs, and assorted normal everyday things on her person wherever she goes.

Kate in SWAT Armor looks like a typical military Special Operator. She wears a small CAS flag patch on her right shoulder, and a small black dragon with white horns and the letters "H-U-K" on the other shoulder. Loaded out, she carries a custom FN-HAR and rotary grenade launcher on slings, with microgrenades and ammunition strapped to her rig. She wears a low profile backpack filled with tools and supplies, and usually carries a few kilos of C4 with her. She also sports a very large claymore across her back.

Kate wears her old CAS dog tags everywhere. She breaks this habit only in certain situations. In addition to the two that are normally there, she has a red one that says "CARRIER" on one side, and "HMHVV III" on the other.

===Matrix Persona===
She uses a blue shark for her matrix persona. Her agent appears as a blue corgi made of energy or electricity of some sort. They occasionally have glitches where they appear as a large detailed wolf, but glitch back to normal after a split second. They seem to have a dog brain one moment and intelligent the next. This is due to the fact that Von Neumann used an actual sapient AI that was stripped down in the construction of her agent.

|Elaine is a lioness from the plains of South Africa. She grew wild, becoming leader of her pride, before ever speaking to metahumans. Her animalistic instincts rule her actions.

|Big Game Hunter

===Summary===
Red Magic Adept. She uses melee attacks up close and archery at range. She follows the Invisible Way and is very sneaky. She possesses good social skills, is fashion conscious, and has no problem fitting in a club or meeting room. She doesn't openly flaunt her shifter status. She prefers to operate under the guise of a SURGE III elf.

Elaine frequents Montreal. She loves the city and is becoming addicted to the big game hunting culture that the country has fostered there with the passing of the Harmful Paranimals Act. Elaine is not *specifically* called out as a target, but keeps very cautious about it anyways. She used Bellerophon to collect all her bounties. He takes a cut, and no one hunts her.

Elaine has a taste for meat. The redder and the more raw the better. Her guilty pleasure is metahuman flesh. She keeps quiet about it around other metahumans. Best not to think that your teammate might take a bite out of you.

Elaine's pelt is promised to Bellerophon upon her death. He'd offer a reward for whoever returns it to him.

Current IG Timer: IG6 - 28 JUN 23 (Needs an update)

Languages Spoken: Bantu, English, French, Sperethiel, Salish, Sioux, Apsáalooke.

Elaine was Resubmitted after the Éclaire la Nuit run.

===Goals===
We need friends in this city.

We also need more skills. You gotta learn to interface with society, and Elaine needs to get better at it.

The Way of Unified Mana is something Solarian told us we need to get, but never took time to learn. Basic skills and Metamagics are on the list first, though.

==Equipment of Note==

===Custom Compound Bow===
Elaine carries a customized PSE Mach 33 in carbon fiber. She also has a traditional recurve bow she had built when she was in Cheyenne a year ago.

===Ares Vigorous Assault Cannon===
Human technology makes hunting very unfair. Elaine decided to take a page from their book. After all, how do you make the greatest predator on the African plains even deadlier? Arm them.

===Vault of Ages===
Elaine has a Vault of Ages that Bellerophon made her in the form of a leather quiver. It's R3, and was made by an Enchanter of Magic 6.

==Background==
"Every scar I have makes me who I am."

Elaine was once matriarch of her pride. Her mate had died several years before and through her awakened abilities she claimed the mantle of leadership. Long had she been a terror among the plains of northern Azania. A chance encounter with Shadowrunners attempting to poach lion pelts caused her to reveal her secret, and she could no longer hide her abilities. She offered herself to Azania in exchange for the safety of her pride. She served with distinction and pride in the Azania Special Forces becoming a legendary fighter. Her devotion to Azania was unmatched. So long as they provided protection for her pride she would give them her service. This earned her a famous reputation for protecting the downtrodden, and the weak. She is a kind matriarch to her friends and people. But she is death to her enemies.

After many years she desired to travel. Her pride was safe under Azania's protection and she had the freedom to do as she pleased. Leaving the Army she set out West. She started in America, settling down in Seattle for now. She wants to test the waters. She moved from the open plains of Azania, to the steel caverns and concrete jungles of Seattle.

==Narrative Significant Qualities==

===Positive===
Agile Defender - In the wild you have to depend on your instincts more to survive.

Exceptional Attribute(Magic) - Magic flows through her easily. It could be that as a shifter she is more easily empowered.

Hawk Eye - Elaine has a predator's sharp eyes.

Honest Face - Elaine has that look that makes you want to trust her.

Jack of all Trades - You gotta learn the ropes.

Mentor Spirit (Berserker) - The beast within sometimes becomes the beast without. For all her metahuman looks and civilized habits, there is no mistaking the animal that lies beneath.

Mentor's Mask - A lack of control shows through when situations become more...exciting.

Social Chameleon - How can ears and a tail blend in a crowd? Magic! Or skill, depending on who you ask.

SFDA - A hunter's natural instincts

The Invisible Way - Silent and deadly. Magic makes her a ghost.

Broadened Auditory System, Balance Receptor, and Low-light Vision are traits of her race.

===Negative===
Allergy: Gold, Severe - Just as in legends, she is vulnerable to the precious metal.

Code of Honor: Paladin's Code - Elaine has no use for metahuman politics and agendas. She is more than a warrior. She is her pride's matriarch. She is a mother, and a protector.

Distinctive Style - Lion ears are not so easy to hide. She often doesn't try to.

SINner: Azani - Issued for her military service.

Uneducated - No public schooling for lions, sadly.

==SINs==
Real - Azania

Fake R4 - Québec - Renée Sylvestre - SURGE III Elf. Registered as a big game hunter in Montreal.

==Appearance==
===Shifter Features===
Her metahuman form is an Elf, with some changes. As a lion she keeps certain features even in that form. Instead of knife ears she has furry lion ones on her head. She has pronounced claws on her hands and feet. She is very muscular for her form. Her teeth are sharp and very much lion-like. Her eyes have regular iris's, but they almost glow as deep golden pools. Her distinctly silver hair has a lot of volume and is very long. She maintains the guise of a SURGE Elf while in metahuman form.

In her real form she is a great silver lion. The coloration is owing to her awakened abilities. She stands 5 feet tall at her shoulders, with an overall body length of 100 inches counting her tail. She weighs 600 pounds. She is slightly larger than the biggest big male lions of her subspecies.

===Tattoos===
Elaine has numerous tribal tattoos in her metahuman form. They are across her back, upper and lower arms, and upper thighs.

===Scars===
Elaine has many. Nearly every single one is from some sort of combat. Claw marks, bullet holes, sword cuts. Every one left a mark, and every one has a story.

===Foci===
Elaine has none, but Bellerophon has given her ideas for some in the future.

===Clothing===
Casually Elaine wears boots, jeans, and her favorite Cape Town Stormers hoodie. She usually wears her long silver hair in a ponytail.

In armor Elaine wears a white and red knee length high collar coat with loose pants and boots. Her FBA is distinct as it's a design similar to what is found in her homeland. She wears a Voidblack cloak as well.

===Matrix Persona===
A little silver lion avatar.

Fake R4 - Québec - Renée Sylvestre - SURGE III Elf. Registered as a big game hunter in Montreal.

===Shifter Features===
Her metahuman form is an Elf, with some changes. As a lion she keeps certain features even in that form. Instead of knife ears she has furry lion ones on her head. She has pronounced claws on her hands and feet. She is very muscular for her form. Her teeth are sharp and very much lion-like. Her eyes have regular iris's, but they almost glow as deep golden pools. Her distinctly silver hair has a lot of volume and is very long. She maintains the guise of a SURGE Elf while in metahuman form.

In her real form she is a great silver lion. The coloration is owing to her awakened abilities. She stands 5 feet tall at her shoulders, with an overall body length of 100 inches counting her tail. She weighs 600 pounds. She is slightly larger than the biggest big male lions of her subspecies.

Elaine has none, but Bellerophon has given her ideas for some in the future.

===Clothing===
Casually Elaine wears boots, jeans, and her favorite Cape Town Stormers hoodie. She usually wears her long silver hair in a ponytail.

StormSeeker2214: /* Allies */

{{Redbox|<center>Kate is a proud citizen of the CAS. While she is patriotic towards everything related to the South, her family and friends have nothing but disdain for slavery and racism towards any part of metahumanity. She respects her Southern war heroes, but not all of their values. Her attitude in-game reflects this.</center>}}

{{Redbox|<center>Kate is sworn to the Great Dragon Masaru's service.</center>}}

{{roundbox|<center>What's the point in succeeding if succeeding is easy?

I want no part of easy.

I want the struggle,

I want the fight,

I want the pain.

And then I want the best feeling of all.

And I won.</center>}}

===Summary===
"Navy SEAL training was the great equalizer. Nothing mattered except your will to succeed."

"A sword wields no strength, unless the hand that holds it has courage."

Kate is a former CAS Navy SEAL. She came from a military family. She is proud, but feels like she lives in her father's shadow. She left South Carolina soon after her discharge to make her own name in the world. Her service career was exemplary, but her father was an Admiral and he often overshadows her.

Her old callsign was "Starlight". She was originally the only female in SEAL Team 8, and some PO3 made the mistake of saying she was "Pretty as starlight", which earned him a punch in the mouth. Unfortunately, the joke stuck and so did the name.

Kate is a warrior born. She specializes in tactical insertions, amphibious ops, diving and underwater demolitions. Her marksmanship skills are excellent. In the Teams, she was notorious for her propensity to blow things up, or at least try to. Recently she has developed her physical combat skills and now prefers melee combat. Kate is a skill monkey. She can throw dice on almost any active skill, and knows a surprising amount of knowledge skills. She possesses decent hacking skills.

Kate is not awakened, but possesses more knowledge than most mages. She has deep resources to call on to deal with these threats, and can often surprise her foes with her knowledge.

Kate serves the Great Form Guidance Spirit [[Teldragon]]. She promised to assist him in his endeavors regarding the [https://shreloaded.net/wiki/Dead_Gods_Stir Horned God]. Kate recently engaged in a temporary power pact with him. She has performed the Assensing, Divination, and Psychometry skills and powers at an effective magic 14.

Alice Kane and Bautista both know that she is an HMHVV carrier. Alice is her personal cybersurgeon, and Kate pays the premium to make sure everything is safe and OK with her operations.

Kate has Grey Mana tattoos on her back. Rating 3.

Kate is a Consummate Professional. Once she gives her word, she doesn't easily break it. Only rarely has this been done, and only for the right reasons.

Officially, Kate is a member of the [[Huk]] who directly reports to [[Bautista]]. Unofficially, She is one of Masaru's Shadowrunners he has on retainer.

===Goals===
Kate's thirst for knowledge is insatiable. Everything that drives her forward revolves around the possibility of learning something new.
===Esoteric Lore===
Kate's library is large and includes many rare and sometimes forbidden books. Most are on magic and ancient history, all the way back into the 4th world. Some of her more rare and valuable items include:

Al Azif (Fragmentary, Arabic)

De Vermiis Mysteriis (Latin)

Unaussprechlichen Kulten (German)

Pnakotic Manuscripts (Greek)

Seven Cryptical Books of Hsan (Mandarin Chinese)

Thaumaturgical Prodigies in the New-England Canaan (English)

==Blacktooth Dagger==
Kate's most treasured possession is a Blacktooth Dagger. Normally it represents membership to Assets Inc., hers was a gift from [[Ryan Mercury]] after rescuing his teammates during the [[GTFO of GeMiTo]] Run. It represents all her hard work and accomplishments in the Shadows. It is also a symbol of her dedication to stand against the dark, evil things that threaten our world. Her goals don't always follow those of the Foundation, but more often than not she finds herself fighting on the same side as them.

==Starshatter==
<s>Kate wields the masterfully hand forged claymore Starshatter. She spends part of each day training with it, and it has since become an extension of herself. The sword was forged by Onotari Arms in Germany and shipped to her. A little incentive from S-K to pay her back, and show her who she should really be working for. It was an "anonymous" gift from one Hans Brackhaus. The hilt is leather over black wood, with a steel cross-guard. The blade is made of a proprietary Onotari Arms tool steel alloy resistant to corrosion and breaking. The blade is almost a pure silver-white, and catches the light easily. On the blade is an inscription written in German, ''"Die stärksten Klingen werden mit Drachenfeuer geschmiedet"''. The sword itself stands 1.4 meters tall, and Kate has a tendency to use it more akin to an axe than a sword due to it's sheer size and weight.</s>

<s>As of Sangre Por Sangre, the weapon was further customized. A specialist from the Draco Foundation had the hilt replaced with a black bone-like material, and glowing draconic runes were etched into the blade. What started as a masterpiece by Onotari Arms was made into a work of art by Brackhaus, and what he made a work of art was remade into a truly unique blade by the Draco Foundation.</s>

<s>It is her most unique and defining item she owns. It represents a great deal of respect between herself, and the dragons. </s>

<s>The runes are a R7 unbound Weapon Focus. Assensing detects Draconic Magic used to create it.</s>

Starshatter is currently in the possession of Lofwyr's agent, Scale.

==Kate's Collection of Blades==
Kate has a large collection of unique blades. Most are not old, but all are singular.

Lung's Gift - A replacement for Starshatter. Kate gave Lung a tip about the Fourth Coin of Luck, and in return was gifted a masterwork of Longquan steel. A claymore with a sharkskin handle, black cross guard, and a blade forged by the greatest smith in China.

Blacktooth Dagger - The mark of membership to Assets Inc. Given to her by Quicksilver. Contains an unbound F7 Draconic Weapon Focus.

Onotari Arms Mk III Dive Knife - Kate's knife from her SEAL days. Broken and remade multiple times, it is her oldest companion. The blade bears the words "Facta, Non Verba".

Matched Vibro Blade Cutlass and Knife - A matched pair of vibro blades, serrated and wicked. They complete her true Huk persona.

Mr. Braun's commemorative Stiletto - A commemoration to Dr. Braun, a pioneer in biotechnology. Retrieved from a bunker holding a Horror Show Shedim captive.

Silver Trident - For looks, mostly. An item made as a reward from a fencing tournament in France. Exceptional quality.

Hatred's Bite - A Spanish style rapier. Commissioned when she began learning the style.

Heartrender - An Ares-made blade. One of their special mono-edged swords.

Inu No Kiba - A decorative vibrosword bearing inscriptions of a legend about an Inugami. Presented by the leader of a Dog Shifter tribe on Yomi Island.

Hinode - A Katana, specially made using the old ways with modern steel. A blend of tradition and technology.

Matched Victorinox Sword and Knife - Matched to her favorite black dress. Concealable lethality.

==Background==
Kate was born in Charleston, South Carolina. Her father was an Admiral in the CAS Navy and former Captain of an SSVN, and her mother served in the CAS Airforce. Kate joined the CAS Navy when she was 17. Initially, she signed up as a Navy Diver, but her high aptitude and technical skills opened up more dangerous jobs. She volunteered for the SEALs when she was 19, completing training a year later.

She once got to participate in a PR exchange program where she and 11 others went to Moscow for 3 months. She learned new fighting styles from the Red Army, and picked up some specialized skills there.

When she was 29, she became infected with HMHVV III. Her team boarded a vessel that had gone dark off the coast of Virginia. Turns out everyone onboard was a ghoul. Out of 8 SEALS that went in, 2 came out. Her PO1, who was fine, and Kate, who had been exposed. She fought off the infection but became a carrier. It made her sort of a pariah, but allowed her to become more specialized, being able to fight those infected with the Krieger Strain without the risk of consequence.

She had a long and prestigious career in the Navy. She achieved the rank of PO1, retiring after 20 years of service. Her constant desire to strive for greatness led her to acquire more and more cyber and bioware. She has sculpted her body to have many subtle but important enhancements. Anything she lacks she makes up for with her skills and training.

She moved to Seattle after this to work as a civilian contactor. A friend who moved there said she might find work. Initially she thought to contract to the UCAS Navy, but found them annoying to work for. Plus they didn't seem to like her due to her previous employment in the CAS Navy. She receives a pension from the Navy, but donates 100% of it to a charity fund dedicated to wounded and disabled soldiers and veterans. She doesn't even count this income as hers at this point.

She soon discovered the life of Shadowrunning to supplement her income. Plus she wanted the excitement since civilian life is so boring.

==Kate's Family==
Admiral James Tyler, 93, began his 45 year career with the CAS Navy at the young age of 17. He joined with a waiver from his parents. He began his career as an enlisted SONAR Technician, serving his first tour on the fast attack submarine CSS Lee. Admiral Tyler served for 12 years, attaining the rank of Chief Petty Officer before being selected into Officer Candidate School. After receiving his commission, he served as the ASW Officer on the CSS Savannah. Serving with distinction, he received his first command of a patrol submarine when he was made Lieutenant. His promotion to Captain saw him command the CSS Richmond, one of the newly commissioned SSVN class submarines. This would prove to be his most prestigious command. After the Richmond, he served at numerous positions of leadership, eventually serving his final 10 years at the Naval War College. His insight led to numerous tactical advances for the Navy.

Mrs. Samantha McCallister-Tyler, 83, was born in Missouri and joined the Army to get off of her family’s farm. She enlisted originally into the non-combat pilot program, but was picked up for Officer Candidate School in training. After graduating flight school, she flew a Sea Sprite for several years before being selected to serve in the 160th SOAR. Upon completing SEAR and Advanced Combat Training, she served with the Night Stalkers for the rest of her career. When she was 26 she met James Tyler while transferring a Delta team to his SSVN for a mission. Weather forced her to stay onboard for a week, and the two hit it off, and the rest is history. She is currently retired residing at the Tyler family estate in Charleston.

Leah Tyler, 57, currently works for the CAS FBI. She awakened when she was only 4, displaying great aptitude for sorcery. She was recruited to the FBI straight out of highschool. Later she learned that this was two-fold. One, to use her skills, and two, to keep an eye on her. She excelled in her career. Today, she is a Magic 13 Hermetic Magician. She serves on a rapid response team specializing in awakened threats.

Samuel Tyler, 47, Currently serves at Camp Lejeune as an instructor. Specifically, he oversees the practical training of new Force Recon Marines. Having served in MARSOC for 32 years, he now trains the next generation of Marines. He visits home more often than any of the other siblings, being that he is so close.

Mrs. Anna Roberts-Tyler, 46, is a Naval Engineer currently serving in Charleston. She served on SSNs and SSVNs during her career as an Engineering Officer. She currently oversees all new installations and refueling of fusion reactors for the CAS Atlantic Fleet. Work keeps her away from home, and often takes her overseas for weeks at a time. She is also a Magic 8 Physad and uses her talents to help her work in extremely hostile environments. Her husband is a Mr. Michael Roberts who works at ONI, specializing in underwater reconnaissance and intelligence.

Ezekiel Tyler, 42, is a former Force Recon Marine like his brother Sam. Like his sister Kate, his career was upended by a fight with an HMHVV infected opponent. Unlike Kate, He succumbed to his infection becoming a Loup-Garou. He finished his current enlistment and was discharged. Technology allows him to live a mostly normal life, but finding employment is hard. Currently he works for the Blackwater Corporation. He has extensive training in unarmed combat and his natural claws really augment that. Kate is currently trying to get him to walk on the wild side and become a Shadowrunner, but Blackwater provides a good structure in his life, and provides everything he needs.

Katherine Tyler, 40, is a former Navy SEAL turned Shadwrunner. She enlisted in the Navy as a Diver, but volunteered for SEAL Training while in Dive school. After training she served her whole career with SEAL Team 8. She was the first female on that team, and the second ever female SEAL. She contracted HMHVV at 26, but fought off the virus and became a carrier. After the Navy, she moved to Seattle and became a mercenary, eventually becoming a full blown Shadowrunner. Currently she swears loyalty to the Great Dragon Masaru and the Hukbong Bayan. She has a very close relationship to the Great Spirit Teldragon, and there are rumors that this is very much a master-servant relationship.

CFS - R6 Fake - Samantha Frost

Ares - R6 Fake - Britney Meyers

Saeder-Krupp - R6 Fake - Celine Rheingold

FGS - R6 Fake - Alexa Wexler

==Appearance==

===Cyberware and Bioware===
Most of Kate's ware is actually very subtle. Only her Fangs, Claws, Cybereyes, Datajacks, and Orthoskin Mods are actually visible. She has a datajack behind her left ear and one on her right wrist. Her fangs are vampire-like and usually always visible. Her claws are often hid behind gloves due to her HMHVV. Her Sharkskin mod is visible as rough skin on her arms and legs. Dragon Hide is shown as subtle smooth scales across her shoulders, back, and chest. Her Cybereyes exhibit the normal slight glow, and hers are colored purple. They match her original eye color.

===Tattoos and Scars===
She bears numerous small scars from her service, but one stands out. A jagged claw scar extends from the base of her neck to her shoulder. This is where a ghoul grabbed her and cut along the top plate of her armor through the Kevlar. It healed, but left a very prominent scar. This can be seen if she wears a t-shirt. It can just barely be seen over the collar of an armored jacket or dress coat.

Kate has numerous tattoos as well. She has a full right sleeve that's very much CAS and military inspired. She has a SEAL trident on the back of her neck, but low enough to be concealed by a collard shirt. She also has a lunging shark on her left arm.

Kate recently had Grey Mana Tattoos done on her back in the form of a large shark. The tail starts just above her butt, curves up her back, and over her right shoulder. The shark's jaws open just under her collarbones. This makes it so it is visually hidden wearing clothes, but as with all grey mana tattoos, awakened can see it for what it is.

===Clothing===
Kate is a tall, fit former CAS Navy SEAL.

She typically wears a knee length black and silver armor jacket over a long sleeve shirt. She wears black pants and black custom Lonestar Bates combat boots. Her jacket has the image of a black and blue dragon on the back and the words “Hukbong Bayan” on the top across her shoulders.

She typically carries her Cavalier Evanator, Victorinox blades, tricked out commlink, drug injectors, BTLs, and assorted normal everyday things on her person wherever she goes.

Kate in SWAT Armor looks like a typical military Special Operator. She wears a small CAS flag patch on her right shoulder, and a small black dragon with white horns and the letters "H-U-K" on the other shoulder. Loaded out, she carries a custom FN-HAR and rotary grenade launcher on slings, with microgrenades and ammunition strapped to her rig. She wears a low profile backpack filled with tools and supplies, and usually carries a few kilos of C4 with her. She also sports a very large claymore across her back.

Kate wears her old CAS dog tags everywhere. She breaks this habit only in certain situations. In addition to the two that are normally there, she has a red one that says "CARRIER" on one side, and "HMHVV III" on the other.

===Matrix Persona===
She uses a blue shark for her matrix persona. Her agent appears as a blue corgi made of energy or electricity of some sort. They occasionally have glitches where they appear as a large detailed wolf, but glitch back to normal after a split second. They seem to have a dog brain one moment and intelligent the next. This is due to the fact that Von Neumann used an actual sapient AI that was stripped down in the construction of her agent.

StormSeeker2214: /* Enemies */

{{Redbox|<center>Kate is a proud citizen of the CAS. While she is patriotic towards everything related to the South, her family and friends have nothing but disdain for slavery and racism towards any part of metahumanity. She respects her Southern war heroes, but not all of their values. Her attitude in-game reflects this.</center>}}

{{Redbox|<center>Kate is sworn to the Great Dragon Masaru's service.</center>}}

{{roundbox|<center>What's the point in succeeding if succeeding is easy?

I want no part of easy.

I want the struggle,

I want the fight,

I want the pain.

And then I want the best feeling of all.

That the world did everything it could to beat me,

And I won.</center>}}

===Summary===
"Navy SEAL training was the great equalizer. Nothing mattered except your will to succeed."

"A sword wields no strength, unless the hand that holds it has courage."

Kate is a former CAS Navy SEAL. She came from a military family. She is proud, but feels like she lives in her father's shadow. She left South Carolina soon after her discharge to make her own name in the world. Her service career was exemplary, but her father was an Admiral and he often overshadows her.

Her old callsign was "Starlight". She was originally the only female in SEAL Team 8, and some PO3 made the mistake of saying she was "Pretty as starlight", which earned him a punch in the mouth. Unfortunately, the joke stuck and so did the name.

Kate is a warrior born. She specializes in tactical insertions, amphibious ops, diving and underwater demolitions. Her marksmanship skills are excellent. In the Teams, she was notorious for her propensity to blow things up, or at least try to. Recently she has developed her physical combat skills and now prefers melee combat. Kate is a skill monkey. She can throw dice on almost any active skill, and knows a surprising amount of knowledge skills. She possesses decent hacking skills.

Kate is not awakened, but possesses more knowledge than most mages. She has deep resources to call on to deal with these threats, and can often surprise her foes with her knowledge.

Kate serves the Great Form Guidance Spirit [[Teldragon]]. She promised to assist him in his endeavors regarding the [https://shreloaded.net/wiki/Dead_Gods_Stir Horned God]. Kate recently engaged in a temporary power pact with him. She has performed the Assensing, Divination, and Psychometry skills and powers at an effective magic 14.

Alice Kane and Bautista both know that she is an HMHVV carrier. Alice is her personal cybersurgeon, and Kate pays the premium to make sure everything is safe and OK with her operations.

Kate has Grey Mana tattoos on her back. Rating 3.

Kate is a Consummate Professional. Once she gives her word, she doesn't easily break it. Only rarely has this been done, and only for the right reasons.

Officially, Kate is a member of the [[Huk]] who directly reports to [[Bautista]]. Unofficially, She is one of Masaru's Shadowrunners he has on retainer.

===Goals===
Kate's thirst for knowledge is insatiable. Everything that drives her forward revolves around the possibility of learning something new.
===Esoteric Lore===
Kate's library is large and includes many rare and sometimes forbidden books. Most are on magic and ancient history, all the way back into the 4th world. Some of her more rare and valuable items include:

Al Azif (Fragmentary, Arabic)

De Vermiis Mysteriis (Latin)

Unaussprechlichen Kulten (German)

Pnakotic Manuscripts (Greek)

Seven Cryptical Books of Hsan (Mandarin Chinese)

Thaumaturgical Prodigies in the New-England Canaan (English)

==Blacktooth Dagger==
Kate's most treasured possession is a Blacktooth Dagger. Normally it represents membership to Assets Inc., hers was a gift from [[Ryan Mercury]] after rescuing his teammates during the [[GTFO of GeMiTo]] Run. It represents all her hard work and accomplishments in the Shadows. It is also a symbol of her dedication to stand against the dark, evil things that threaten our world. Her goals don't always follow those of the Foundation, but more often than not she finds herself fighting on the same side as them.

==Starshatter==
<s>Kate wields the masterfully hand forged claymore Starshatter. She spends part of each day training with it, and it has since become an extension of herself. The sword was forged by Onotari Arms in Germany and shipped to her. A little incentive from S-K to pay her back, and show her who she should really be working for. It was an "anonymous" gift from one Hans Brackhaus. The hilt is leather over black wood, with a steel cross-guard. The blade is made of a proprietary Onotari Arms tool steel alloy resistant to corrosion and breaking. The blade is almost a pure silver-white, and catches the light easily. On the blade is an inscription written in German, ''"Die stärksten Klingen werden mit Drachenfeuer geschmiedet"''. The sword itself stands 1.4 meters tall, and Kate has a tendency to use it more akin to an axe than a sword due to it's sheer size and weight.</s>

<s>As of Sangre Por Sangre, the weapon was further customized. A specialist from the Draco Foundation had the hilt replaced with a black bone-like material, and glowing draconic runes were etched into the blade. What started as a masterpiece by Onotari Arms was made into a work of art by Brackhaus, and what he made a work of art was remade into a truly unique blade by the Draco Foundation.</s>

<s>It is her most unique and defining item she owns. It represents a great deal of respect between herself, and the dragons. </s>

<s>The runes are a R7 unbound Weapon Focus. Assensing detects Draconic Magic used to create it.</s>

Starshatter is currently in the possession of Lofwyr's agent, Scale.

==Kate's Collection of Blades==
Kate has a large collection of unique blades. Most are not old, but all are singular.

Lung's Gift - A replacement for Starshatter. Kate gave Lung a tip about the Fourth Coin of Luck, and in return was gifted a masterwork of Longquan steel. A claymore with a sharkskin handle, black cross guard, and a blade forged by the greatest smith in China.

Blacktooth Dagger - The mark of membership to Assets Inc. Given to her by Quicksilver. Contains an unbound F7 Draconic Weapon Focus.

Onotari Arms Mk III Dive Knife - Kate's knife from her SEAL days. Broken and remade multiple times, it is her oldest companion. The blade bears the words "Facta, Non Verba".

Matched Vibro Blade Cutlass and Knife - A matched pair of vibro blades, serrated and wicked. They complete her true Huk persona.

Mr. Braun's commemorative Stiletto - A commemoration to Dr. Braun, a pioneer in biotechnology. Retrieved from a bunker holding a Horror Show Shedim captive.

Silver Trident - For looks, mostly. An item made as a reward from a fencing tournament in France. Exceptional quality.

Hatred's Bite - A Spanish style rapier. Commissioned when she began learning the style.

Heartrender - An Ares-made blade. One of their special mono-edged swords.

Inu No Kiba - A decorative vibrosword bearing inscriptions of a legend about an Inugami. Presented by the leader of a Dog Shifter tribe on Yomi Island.

Hinode - A Katana, specially made using the old ways with modern steel. A blend of tradition and technology.

Matched Victorinox Sword and Knife - Matched to her favorite black dress. Concealable lethality.

==Background==
Kate was born in Charleston, South Carolina. Her father was an Admiral in the CAS Navy and former Captain of an SSVN, and her mother served in the CAS Airforce. Kate joined the CAS Navy when she was 17. Initially, she signed up as a Navy Diver, but her high aptitude and technical skills opened up more dangerous jobs. She volunteered for the SEALs when she was 19, completing training a year later.

She once got to participate in a PR exchange program where she and 11 others went to Moscow for 3 months. She learned new fighting styles from the Red Army, and picked up some specialized skills there.

When she was 29, she became infected with HMHVV III. Her team boarded a vessel that had gone dark off the coast of Virginia. Turns out everyone onboard was a ghoul. Out of 8 SEALS that went in, 2 came out. Her PO1, who was fine, and Kate, who had been exposed. She fought off the infection but became a carrier. It made her sort of a pariah, but allowed her to become more specialized, being able to fight those infected with the Krieger Strain without the risk of consequence.

She had a long and prestigious career in the Navy. She achieved the rank of PO1, retiring after 20 years of service. Her constant desire to strive for greatness led her to acquire more and more cyber and bioware. She has sculpted her body to have many subtle but important enhancements. Anything she lacks she makes up for with her skills and training.

She moved to Seattle after this to work as a civilian contactor. A friend who moved there said she might find work. Initially she thought to contract to the UCAS Navy, but found them annoying to work for. Plus they didn't seem to like her due to her previous employment in the CAS Navy. She receives a pension from the Navy, but donates 100% of it to a charity fund dedicated to wounded and disabled soldiers and veterans. She doesn't even count this income as hers at this point.

She soon discovered the life of Shadowrunning to supplement her income. Plus she wanted the excitement since civilian life is so boring.

==Kate's Family==
Admiral James Tyler, 93, began his 45 year career with the CAS Navy at the young age of 17. He joined with a waiver from his parents. He began his career as an enlisted SONAR Technician, serving his first tour on the fast attack submarine CSS Lee. Admiral Tyler served for 12 years, attaining the rank of Chief Petty Officer before being selected into Officer Candidate School. After receiving his commission, he served as the ASW Officer on the CSS Savannah. Serving with distinction, he received his first command of a patrol submarine when he was made Lieutenant. His promotion to Captain saw him command the CSS Richmond, one of the newly commissioned SSVN class submarines. This would prove to be his most prestigious command. After the Richmond, he served at numerous positions of leadership, eventually serving his final 10 years at the Naval War College. His insight led to numerous tactical advances for the Navy.

Mrs. Samantha McCallister-Tyler, 83, was born in Missouri and joined the Army to get off of her family’s farm. She enlisted originally into the non-combat pilot program, but was picked up for Officer Candidate School in training. After graduating flight school, she flew a Sea Sprite for several years before being selected to serve in the 160th SOAR. Upon completing SEAR and Advanced Combat Training, she served with the Night Stalkers for the rest of her career. When she was 26 she met James Tyler while transferring a Delta team to his SSVN for a mission. Weather forced her to stay onboard for a week, and the two hit it off, and the rest is history. She is currently retired residing at the Tyler family estate in Charleston.

Leah Tyler, 57, currently works for the CAS FBI. She awakened when she was only 4, displaying great aptitude for sorcery. She was recruited to the FBI straight out of highschool. Later she learned that this was two-fold. One, to use her skills, and two, to keep an eye on her. She excelled in her career. Today, she is a Magic 13 Hermetic Magician. She serves on a rapid response team specializing in awakened threats.

Samuel Tyler, 47, Currently serves at Camp Lejeune as an instructor. Specifically, he oversees the practical training of new Force Recon Marines. Having served in MARSOC for 32 years, he now trains the next generation of Marines. He visits home more often than any of the other siblings, being that he is so close.

Mrs. Anna Roberts-Tyler, 46, is a Naval Engineer currently serving in Charleston. She served on SSNs and SSVNs during her career as an Engineering Officer. She currently oversees all new installations and refueling of fusion reactors for the CAS Atlantic Fleet. Work keeps her away from home, and often takes her overseas for weeks at a time. She is also a Magic 8 Physad and uses her talents to help her work in extremely hostile environments. Her husband is a Mr. Michael Roberts who works at ONI, specializing in underwater reconnaissance and intelligence.

Ezekiel Tyler, 42, is a former Force Recon Marine like his brother Sam. Like his sister Kate, his career was upended by a fight with an HMHVV infected opponent. Unlike Kate, He succumbed to his infection becoming a Loup-Garou. He finished his current enlistment and was discharged. Technology allows him to live a mostly normal life, but finding employment is hard. Currently he works for the Blackwater Corporation. He has extensive training in unarmed combat and his natural claws really augment that. Kate is currently trying to get him to walk on the wild side and become a Shadowrunner, but Blackwater provides a good structure in his life, and provides everything he needs.

Katherine Tyler, 40, is a former Navy SEAL turned Shadwrunner. She enlisted in the Navy as a Diver, but volunteered for SEAL Training while in Dive school. After training she served her whole career with SEAL Team 8. She was the first female on that team, and the second ever female SEAL. She contracted HMHVV at 26, but fought off the virus and became a carrier. After the Navy, she moved to Seattle and became a mercenary, eventually becoming a full blown Shadowrunner. Currently she swears loyalty to the Great Dragon Masaru and the Hukbong Bayan. She has a very close relationship to the Great Spirit Teldragon, and there are rumors that this is very much a master-servant relationship.

FGS - R6 Fake - Alexa Wexler

==Appearance==

===Cyberware and Bioware===
Most of Kate's ware is actually very subtle. Only her Fangs, Claws, Cybereyes, Datajacks, and Orthoskin Mods are actually visible. She has a datajack behind her left ear and one on her right wrist. Her fangs are vampire-like and usually always visible. Her claws are often hid behind gloves due to her HMHVV. Her Sharkskin mod is visible as rough skin on her arms and legs. Dragon Hide is shown as subtle smooth scales across her shoulders, back, and chest. Her Cybereyes exhibit the normal slight glow, and hers are colored purple. They match her original eye color.

===Tattoos and Scars===
She bears numerous small scars from her service, but one stands out. A jagged claw scar extends from the base of her neck to her shoulder. This is where a ghoul grabbed her and cut along the top plate of her armor through the Kevlar. It healed, but left a very prominent scar. This can be seen if she wears a t-shirt. It can just barely be seen over the collar of an armored jacket or dress coat.

Kate has numerous tattoos as well. She has a full right sleeve that's very much CAS and military inspired. She has a SEAL trident on the back of her neck, but low enough to be concealed by a collard shirt. She also has a lunging shark on her left arm.

Kate recently had Grey Mana Tattoos done on her back in the form of a large shark. The tail starts just above her butt, curves up her back, and over her right shoulder. The shark's jaws open just under her collarbones. This makes it so it is visually hidden wearing clothes, but as with all grey mana tattoos, awakened can see it for what it is.

===Clothing===
Kate is a tall, fit former CAS Navy SEAL.

She typically wears a knee length black and silver armor jacket over a long sleeve shirt. She wears black pants and black custom Lonestar Bates combat boots. Her jacket has the image of a black and blue dragon on the back and the words “Hukbong Bayan” on the top across her shoulders.

She typically carries her Cavalier Evanator, Victorinox blades, tricked out commlink, drug injectors, BTLs, and assorted normal everyday things on her person wherever she goes.

Kate in SWAT Armor looks like a typical military Special Operator. She wears a small CAS flag patch on her right shoulder, and a small black dragon with white horns and the letters "H-U-K" on the other shoulder. Loaded out, she carries a custom FN-HAR and rotary grenade launcher on slings, with microgrenades and ammunition strapped to her rig. She wears a low profile backpack filled with tools and supplies, and usually carries a few kilos of C4 with her. She also sports a very large claymore across her back.

Kate wears her old CAS dog tags everywhere. She breaks this habit only in certain situations. In addition to the two that are normally there, she has a red one that says "CARRIER" on one side, and "HMHVV III" on the other.

===Matrix Persona===
She uses a blue shark for her matrix persona. Her agent appears as a blue corgi made of energy or electricity of some sort. They occasionally have glitches where they appear as a large detailed wolf, but glitch back to normal after a split second. They seem to have a dog brain one moment and intelligent the next. This is due to the fact that Von Neumann used an actual sapient AI that was stripped down in the construction of her agent.

StormSeeker2214: /* Enemies */

{{Redbox|<center>Kate is a proud citizen of the CAS. While she is patriotic towards everything related to the South, her family and friends have nothing but disdain for slavery and racism towards any part of metahumanity. She respects her Southern war heroes, but not all of their values. Her attitude in-game reflects this.</center>}}

{{Redbox|<center>Kate is sworn to the Great Dragon Masaru's service.</center>}}

{{roundbox|<center>What's the point in succeeding if succeeding is easy?

I want no part of easy.

I want the struggle,

I want the fight,

I want the pain.

And then I want the best feeling of all.

That the world did everything it could to beat me,

And I won.</center>}}

===Summary===
"Navy SEAL training was the great equalizer. Nothing mattered except your will to succeed."

"A sword wields no strength, unless the hand that holds it has courage."

Kate is a former CAS Navy SEAL. She came from a military family. She is proud, but feels like she lives in her father's shadow. She left South Carolina soon after her discharge to make her own name in the world. Her service career was exemplary, but her father was an Admiral and he often overshadows her.

Her old callsign was "Starlight". She was originally the only female in SEAL Team 8, and some PO3 made the mistake of saying she was "Pretty as starlight", which earned him a punch in the mouth. Unfortunately, the joke stuck and so did the name.

Kate is a warrior born. She specializes in tactical insertions, amphibious ops, diving and underwater demolitions. Her marksmanship skills are excellent. In the Teams, she was notorious for her propensity to blow things up, or at least try to. Recently she has developed her physical combat skills and now prefers melee combat. Kate is a skill monkey. She can throw dice on almost any active skill, and knows a surprising amount of knowledge skills. She possesses decent hacking skills.

Kate is not awakened, but possesses more knowledge than most mages. She has deep resources to call on to deal with these threats, and can often surprise her foes with her knowledge.

Kate serves the Great Form Guidance Spirit [[Teldragon]]. She promised to assist him in his endeavors regarding the [https://shreloaded.net/wiki/Dead_Gods_Stir Horned God]. Kate recently engaged in a temporary power pact with him. She has performed the Assensing, Divination, and Psychometry skills and powers at an effective magic 14.

Alice Kane and Bautista both know that she is an HMHVV carrier. Alice is her personal cybersurgeon, and Kate pays the premium to make sure everything is safe and OK with her operations.

Kate has Grey Mana tattoos on her back. Rating 3.

Kate is a Consummate Professional. Once she gives her word, she doesn't easily break it. Only rarely has this been done, and only for the right reasons.

Officially, Kate is a member of the [[Huk]] who directly reports to [[Bautista]]. Unofficially, She is one of Masaru's Shadowrunners he has on retainer.

===Goals===
Kate's thirst for knowledge is insatiable. Everything that drives her forward revolves around the possibility of learning something new.
===Esoteric Lore===
Kate's library is large and includes many rare and sometimes forbidden books. Most are on magic and ancient history, all the way back into the 4th world. Some of her more rare and valuable items include:

Al Azif (Fragmentary, Arabic)

De Vermiis Mysteriis (Latin)

Unaussprechlichen Kulten (German)

Pnakotic Manuscripts (Greek)

Seven Cryptical Books of Hsan (Mandarin Chinese)

Thaumaturgical Prodigies in the New-England Canaan (English)

==Blacktooth Dagger==
Kate's most treasured possession is a Blacktooth Dagger. Normally it represents membership to Assets Inc., hers was a gift from [[Ryan Mercury]] after rescuing his teammates during the [[GTFO of GeMiTo]] Run. It represents all her hard work and accomplishments in the Shadows. It is also a symbol of her dedication to stand against the dark, evil things that threaten our world. Her goals don't always follow those of the Foundation, but more often than not she finds herself fighting on the same side as them.

==Starshatter==
<s>Kate wields the masterfully hand forged claymore Starshatter. She spends part of each day training with it, and it has since become an extension of herself. The sword was forged by Onotari Arms in Germany and shipped to her. A little incentive from S-K to pay her back, and show her who she should really be working for. It was an "anonymous" gift from one Hans Brackhaus. The hilt is leather over black wood, with a steel cross-guard. The blade is made of a proprietary Onotari Arms tool steel alloy resistant to corrosion and breaking. The blade is almost a pure silver-white, and catches the light easily. On the blade is an inscription written in German, ''"Die stärksten Klingen werden mit Drachenfeuer geschmiedet"''. The sword itself stands 1.4 meters tall, and Kate has a tendency to use it more akin to an axe than a sword due to it's sheer size and weight.</s>

<s>As of Sangre Por Sangre, the weapon was further customized. A specialist from the Draco Foundation had the hilt replaced with a black bone-like material, and glowing draconic runes were etched into the blade. What started as a masterpiece by Onotari Arms was made into a work of art by Brackhaus, and what he made a work of art was remade into a truly unique blade by the Draco Foundation.</s>

<s>It is her most unique and defining item she owns. It represents a great deal of respect between herself, and the dragons. </s>

<s>The runes are a R7 unbound Weapon Focus. Assensing detects Draconic Magic used to create it.</s>

Starshatter is currently in the possession of Lofwyr's agent, Scale.

==Kate's Collection of Blades==
Kate has a large collection of unique blades. Most are not old, but all are singular.

Lung's Gift - A replacement for Starshatter. Kate gave Lung a tip about the Fourth Coin of Luck, and in return was gifted a masterwork of Longquan steel. A claymore with a sharkskin handle, black cross guard, and a blade forged by the greatest smith in China.

Blacktooth Dagger - The mark of membership to Assets Inc. Given to her by Quicksilver. Contains an unbound F7 Draconic Weapon Focus.

Onotari Arms Mk III Dive Knife - Kate's knife from her SEAL days. Broken and remade multiple times, it is her oldest companion. The blade bears the words "Facta, Non Verba".

Matched Vibro Blade Cutlass and Knife - A matched pair of vibro blades, serrated and wicked. They complete her true Huk persona.

Mr. Braun's commemorative Stiletto - A commemoration to Dr. Braun, a pioneer in biotechnology. Retrieved from a bunker holding a Horror Show Shedim captive.

Silver Trident - For looks, mostly. An item made as a reward from a fencing tournament in France. Exceptional quality.

Hatred's Bite - A Spanish style rapier. Commissioned when she began learning the style.

Heartrender - An Ares-made blade. One of their special mono-edged swords.

Inu No Kiba - A decorative vibrosword bearing inscriptions of a legend about an Inugami. Presented by the leader of a Dog Shifter tribe on Yomi Island.

Hinode - A Katana, specially made using the old ways with modern steel. A blend of tradition and technology.

Matched Victorinox Sword and Knife - Matched to her favorite black dress. Concealable lethality.

==Background==
Kate was born in Charleston, South Carolina. Her father was an Admiral in the CAS Navy and former Captain of an SSVN, and her mother served in the CAS Airforce. Kate joined the CAS Navy when she was 17. Initially, she signed up as a Navy Diver, but her high aptitude and technical skills opened up more dangerous jobs. She volunteered for the SEALs when she was 19, completing training a year later.

She once got to participate in a PR exchange program where she and 11 others went to Moscow for 3 months. She learned new fighting styles from the Red Army, and picked up some specialized skills there.

When she was 29, she became infected with HMHVV III. Her team boarded a vessel that had gone dark off the coast of Virginia. Turns out everyone onboard was a ghoul. Out of 8 SEALS that went in, 2 came out. Her PO1, who was fine, and Kate, who had been exposed. She fought off the infection but became a carrier. It made her sort of a pariah, but allowed her to become more specialized, being able to fight those infected with the Krieger Strain without the risk of consequence.

She had a long and prestigious career in the Navy. She achieved the rank of PO1, retiring after 20 years of service. Her constant desire to strive for greatness led her to acquire more and more cyber and bioware. She has sculpted her body to have many subtle but important enhancements. Anything she lacks she makes up for with her skills and training.

She moved to Seattle after this to work as a civilian contactor. A friend who moved there said she might find work. Initially she thought to contract to the UCAS Navy, but found them annoying to work for. Plus they didn't seem to like her due to her previous employment in the CAS Navy. She receives a pension from the Navy, but donates 100% of it to a charity fund dedicated to wounded and disabled soldiers and veterans. She doesn't even count this income as hers at this point.

She soon discovered the life of Shadowrunning to supplement her income. Plus she wanted the excitement since civilian life is so boring.

==Kate's Family==
Admiral James Tyler, 93, began his 45 year career with the CAS Navy at the young age of 17. He joined with a waiver from his parents. He began his career as an enlisted SONAR Technician, serving his first tour on the fast attack submarine CSS Lee. Admiral Tyler served for 12 years, attaining the rank of Chief Petty Officer before being selected into Officer Candidate School. After receiving his commission, he served as the ASW Officer on the CSS Savannah. Serving with distinction, he received his first command of a patrol submarine when he was made Lieutenant. His promotion to Captain saw him command the CSS Richmond, one of the newly commissioned SSVN class submarines. This would prove to be his most prestigious command. After the Richmond, he served at numerous positions of leadership, eventually serving his final 10 years at the Naval War College. His insight led to numerous tactical advances for the Navy.

Mrs. Samantha McCallister-Tyler, 83, was born in Missouri and joined the Army to get off of her family’s farm. She enlisted originally into the non-combat pilot program, but was picked up for Officer Candidate School in training. After graduating flight school, she flew a Sea Sprite for several years before being selected to serve in the 160th SOAR. Upon completing SEAR and Advanced Combat Training, she served with the Night Stalkers for the rest of her career. When she was 26 she met James Tyler while transferring a Delta team to his SSVN for a mission. Weather forced her to stay onboard for a week, and the two hit it off, and the rest is history. She is currently retired residing at the Tyler family estate in Charleston.

Leah Tyler, 57, currently works for the CAS FBI. She awakened when she was only 4, displaying great aptitude for sorcery. She was recruited to the FBI straight out of highschool. Later she learned that this was two-fold. One, to use her skills, and two, to keep an eye on her. She excelled in her career. Today, she is a Magic 13 Hermetic Magician. She serves on a rapid response team specializing in awakened threats.

Samuel Tyler, 47, Currently serves at Camp Lejeune as an instructor. Specifically, he oversees the practical training of new Force Recon Marines. Having served in MARSOC for 32 years, he now trains the next generation of Marines. He visits home more often than any of the other siblings, being that he is so close.

Mrs. Anna Roberts-Tyler, 46, is a Naval Engineer currently serving in Charleston. She served on SSNs and SSVNs during her career as an Engineering Officer. She currently oversees all new installations and refueling of fusion reactors for the CAS Atlantic Fleet. Work keeps her away from home, and often takes her overseas for weeks at a time. She is also a Magic 8 Physad and uses her talents to help her work in extremely hostile environments. Her husband is a Mr. Michael Roberts who works at ONI, specializing in underwater reconnaissance and intelligence.

Ezekiel Tyler, 42, is a former Force Recon Marine like his brother Sam. Like his sister Kate, his career was upended by a fight with an HMHVV infected opponent. Unlike Kate, He succumbed to his infection becoming a Loup-Garou. He finished his current enlistment and was discharged. Technology allows him to live a mostly normal life, but finding employment is hard. Currently he works for the Blackwater Corporation. He has extensive training in unarmed combat and his natural claws really augment that. Kate is currently trying to get him to walk on the wild side and become a Shadowrunner, but Blackwater provides a good structure in his life, and provides everything he needs.

Katherine Tyler, 40, is a former Navy SEAL turned Shadwrunner. She enlisted in the Navy as a Diver, but volunteered for SEAL Training while in Dive school. After training she served her whole career with SEAL Team 8. She was the first female on that team, and the second ever female SEAL. She contracted HMHVV at 26, but fought off the virus and became a carrier. After the Navy, she moved to Seattle and became a mercenary, eventually becoming a full blown Shadowrunner. Currently she swears loyalty to the Great Dragon Masaru and the Hukbong Bayan. She has a very close relationship to the Great Spirit Teldragon, and there are rumors that this is very much a master-servant relationship.

UCAS - R6 Fake - Taylor Thompson.

CFS - R6 Fake - Samantha Frost

Ares - R6 Fake - Britney Meyers

Saeder-Krupp - R6 Fake - Celine Rheingold

FGS - R6 Fake - Alexa Wexler

==Appearance==

===Cyberware and Bioware===
Most of Kate's ware is actually very subtle. Only her Fangs, Claws, Cybereyes, Datajacks, and Orthoskin Mods are actually visible. She has a datajack behind her left ear and one on her right wrist. Her fangs are vampire-like and usually always visible. Her claws are often hid behind gloves due to her HMHVV. Her Sharkskin mod is visible as rough skin on her arms and legs. Dragon Hide is shown as subtle smooth scales across her shoulders, back, and chest. Her Cybereyes exhibit the normal slight glow, and hers are colored purple. They match her original eye color.

===Tattoos and Scars===
She bears numerous small scars from her service, but one stands out. A jagged claw scar extends from the base of her neck to her shoulder. This is where a ghoul grabbed her and cut along the top plate of her armor through the Kevlar. It healed, but left a very prominent scar. This can be seen if she wears a t-shirt. It can just barely be seen over the collar of an armored jacket or dress coat.

Kate has numerous tattoos as well. She has a full right sleeve that's very much CAS and military inspired. She has a SEAL trident on the back of her neck, but low enough to be concealed by a collard shirt. She also has a lunging shark on her left arm.

Kate recently had Grey Mana Tattoos done on her back in the form of a large shark. The tail starts just above her butt, curves up her back, and over her right shoulder. The shark's jaws open just under her collarbones. This makes it so it is visually hidden wearing clothes, but as with all grey mana tattoos, awakened can see it for what it is.

===Clothing===
Kate is a tall, fit former CAS Navy SEAL.

She typically wears a knee length black and silver armor jacket over a long sleeve shirt. She wears black pants and black custom Lonestar Bates combat boots. Her jacket has the image of a black and blue dragon on the back and the words “Hukbong Bayan” on the top across her shoulders.

She typically carries her Cavalier Evanator, Victorinox blades, tricked out commlink, drug injectors, BTLs, and assorted normal everyday things on her person wherever she goes.

Kate in SWAT Armor looks like a typical military Special Operator. She wears a small CAS flag patch on her right shoulder, and a small black dragon with white horns and the letters "H-U-K" on the other shoulder. Loaded out, she carries a custom FN-HAR and rotary grenade launcher on slings, with microgrenades and ammunition strapped to her rig. She wears a low profile backpack filled with tools and supplies, and usually carries a few kilos of C4 with her. She also sports a very large claymore across her back.

Kate wears her old CAS dog tags everywhere. She breaks this habit only in certain situations. In addition to the two that are normally there, she has a red one that says "CARRIER" on one side, and "HMHVV III" on the other.

===Matrix Persona===
She uses a blue shark for her matrix persona. Her agent appears as a blue corgi made of energy or electricity of some sort. They occasionally have glitches where they appear as a large detailed wolf, but glitch back to normal after a split second. They seem to have a dog brain one moment and intelligent the next. This is due to the fact that Von Neumann used an actual sapient AI that was stripped down in the construction of her agent.

StormSeeker2214: /* Assensing Results */

{{Redbox|<center>Kate is a proud citizen of the CAS. While she is patriotic towards everything related to the South, her family and friends have nothing but disdain for slavery and racism towards any part of metahumanity. She respects her Southern war heroes, but not all of their values. Her attitude in-game reflects this.</center>}}

{{Redbox|<center>Kate is sworn to the Great Dragon Masaru's service.</center>}}

{{roundbox|<center>What's the point in succeeding if succeeding is easy?

I want no part of easy.

I want the struggle,

I want the fight,

I want the pain.

And then I want the best feeling of all.

And I won.</center>}}

She even met the Dweller once. She could give a better thesis on most magical studies than most students at MIT&T. The downside is that she has an ''insatiable'' thirst for knowledge. This can put her in compromising situations.

===Summary===
"Navy SEAL training was the great equalizer. Nothing mattered except your will to succeed."

"A sword wields no strength, unless the hand that holds it has courage."

Kate is a former CAS Navy SEAL. She came from a military family. She is proud, but feels like she lives in her father's shadow. She left South Carolina soon after her discharge to make her own name in the world. Her service career was exemplary, but her father was an Admiral and he often overshadows her.

Her old callsign was "Starlight". She was originally the only female in SEAL Team 8, and some PO3 made the mistake of saying she was "Pretty as starlight", which earned him a punch in the mouth. Unfortunately, the joke stuck and so did the name.

Kate is a warrior born. She specializes in tactical insertions, amphibious ops, diving and underwater demolitions. Her marksmanship skills are excellent. In the Teams, she was notorious for her propensity to blow things up, or at least try to. Recently she has developed her physical combat skills and now prefers melee combat. Kate is a skill monkey. She can throw dice on almost any active skill, and knows a surprising amount of knowledge skills. She possesses decent hacking skills.

Kate is not awakened, but possesses more knowledge than most mages. She has deep resources to call on to deal with these threats, and can often surprise her foes with her knowledge.

Kate serves the Great Form Guidance Spirit [[Teldragon]]. She promised to assist him in his endeavors regarding the [https://shreloaded.net/wiki/Dead_Gods_Stir Horned God]. Kate recently engaged in a temporary power pact with him. She has performed the Assensing, Divination, and Psychometry skills and powers at an effective magic 14.

Alice Kane and Bautista both know that she is an HMHVV carrier. Alice is her personal cybersurgeon, and Kate pays the premium to make sure everything is safe and OK with her operations.

Kate has Grey Mana tattoos on her back. Rating 3.

Kate is a Consummate Professional. Once she gives her word, she doesn't easily break it. Only rarely has this been done, and only for the right reasons.

Officially, Kate is a member of the [[Huk]] who directly reports to [[Bautista]]. Unofficially, She is one of Masaru's Shadowrunners he has on retainer.

===Goals===
Kate's thirst for knowledge is insatiable. Everything that drives her forward revolves around the possibility of learning something new.
===Esoteric Lore===
Kate's library is large and includes many rare and sometimes forbidden books. Most are on magic and ancient history, all the way back into the 4th world. Some of her more rare and valuable items include:

Al Azif (Fragmentary, Arabic)

De Vermiis Mysteriis (Latin)

Unaussprechlichen Kulten (German)

Pnakotic Manuscripts (Greek)

Seven Cryptical Books of Hsan (Mandarin Chinese)

Thaumaturgical Prodigies in the New-England Canaan (English)

==Blacktooth Dagger==
Kate's most treasured possession is a Blacktooth Dagger. Normally it represents membership to Assets Inc., hers was a gift from [[Ryan Mercury]] after rescuing his teammates during the [[GTFO of GeMiTo]] Run. It represents all her hard work and accomplishments in the Shadows. It is also a symbol of her dedication to stand against the dark, evil things that threaten our world. Her goals don't always follow those of the Foundation, but more often than not she finds herself fighting on the same side as them.

==Starshatter==
<s>Kate wields the masterfully hand forged claymore Starshatter. She spends part of each day training with it, and it has since become an extension of herself. The sword was forged by Onotari Arms in Germany and shipped to her. A little incentive from S-K to pay her back, and show her who she should really be working for. It was an "anonymous" gift from one Hans Brackhaus. The hilt is leather over black wood, with a steel cross-guard. The blade is made of a proprietary Onotari Arms tool steel alloy resistant to corrosion and breaking. The blade is almost a pure silver-white, and catches the light easily. On the blade is an inscription written in German, ''"Die stärksten Klingen werden mit Drachenfeuer geschmiedet"''. The sword itself stands 1.4 meters tall, and Kate has a tendency to use it more akin to an axe than a sword due to it's sheer size and weight.</s>

<s>As of Sangre Por Sangre, the weapon was further customized. A specialist from the Draco Foundation had the hilt replaced with a black bone-like material, and glowing draconic runes were etched into the blade. What started as a masterpiece by Onotari Arms was made into a work of art by Brackhaus, and what he made a work of art was remade into a truly unique blade by the Draco Foundation.</s>

<s>It is her most unique and defining item she owns. It represents a great deal of respect between herself, and the dragons. </s>

<s>The runes are a R7 unbound Weapon Focus. Assensing detects Draconic Magic used to create it.</s>

Starshatter is currently in the possession of Lofwyr's agent, Scale.

==Kate's Collection of Blades==
Kate has a large collection of unique blades. Most are not old, but all are singular.

Lung's Gift - A replacement for Starshatter. Kate gave Lung a tip about the Fourth Coin of Luck, and in return was gifted a masterwork of Longquan steel. A claymore with a sharkskin handle, black cross guard, and a blade forged by the greatest smith in China.

Blacktooth Dagger - The mark of membership to Assets Inc. Given to her by Quicksilver. Contains an unbound F7 Draconic Weapon Focus.

Onotari Arms Mk III Dive Knife - Kate's knife from her SEAL days. Broken and remade multiple times, it is her oldest companion. The blade bears the words "Facta, Non Verba".

Matched Vibro Blade Cutlass and Knife - A matched pair of vibro blades, serrated and wicked. They complete her true Huk persona.

Mr. Braun's commemorative Stiletto - A commemoration to Dr. Braun, a pioneer in biotechnology. Retrieved from a bunker holding a Horror Show Shedim captive.

Silver Trident - For looks, mostly. An item made as a reward from a fencing tournament in France. Exceptional quality.

Hatred's Bite - A Spanish style rapier. Commissioned when she began learning the style.

Heartrender - An Ares-made blade. One of their special mono-edged swords.

Inu No Kiba - A decorative vibrosword bearing inscriptions of a legend about an Inugami. Presented by the leader of a Dog Shifter tribe on Yomi Island.

Hinode - A Katana, specially made using the old ways with modern steel. A blend of tradition and technology.

Matched Victorinox Sword and Knife - Matched to her favorite black dress. Concealable lethality.

==Background==
Kate was born in Charleston, South Carolina. Her father was an Admiral in the CAS Navy and former Captain of an SSVN, and her mother served in the CAS Airforce. Kate joined the CAS Navy when she was 17. Initially, she signed up as a Navy Diver, but her high aptitude and technical skills opened up more dangerous jobs. She volunteered for the SEALs when she was 19, completing training a year later.

She once got to participate in a PR exchange program where she and 11 others went to Moscow for 3 months. She learned new fighting styles from the Red Army, and picked up some specialized skills there.

When she was 29, she became infected with HMHVV III. Her team boarded a vessel that had gone dark off the coast of Virginia. Turns out everyone onboard was a ghoul. Out of 8 SEALS that went in, 2 came out. Her PO1, who was fine, and Kate, who had been exposed. She fought off the infection but became a carrier. It made her sort of a pariah, but allowed her to become more specialized, being able to fight those infected with the Krieger Strain without the risk of consequence.

She had a long and prestigious career in the Navy. She achieved the rank of PO1, retiring after 20 years of service. Her constant desire to strive for greatness led her to acquire more and more cyber and bioware. She has sculpted her body to have many subtle but important enhancements. Anything she lacks she makes up for with her skills and training.

She moved to Seattle after this to work as a civilian contactor. A friend who moved there said she might find work. Initially she thought to contract to the UCAS Navy, but found them annoying to work for. Plus they didn't seem to like her due to her previous employment in the CAS Navy. She receives a pension from the Navy, but donates 100% of it to a charity fund dedicated to wounded and disabled soldiers and veterans. She doesn't even count this income as hers at this point.

She soon discovered the life of Shadowrunning to supplement her income. Plus she wanted the excitement since civilian life is so boring.

==Kate's Family==
Admiral James Tyler, 93, began his 45 year career with the CAS Navy at the young age of 17. He joined with a waiver from his parents. He began his career as an enlisted SONAR Technician, serving his first tour on the fast attack submarine CSS Lee. Admiral Tyler served for 12 years, attaining the rank of Chief Petty Officer before being selected into Officer Candidate School. After receiving his commission, he served as the ASW Officer on the CSS Savannah. Serving with distinction, he received his first command of a patrol submarine when he was made Lieutenant. His promotion to Captain saw him command the CSS Richmond, one of the newly commissioned SSVN class submarines. This would prove to be his most prestigious command. After the Richmond, he served at numerous positions of leadership, eventually serving his final 10 years at the Naval War College. His insight led to numerous tactical advances for the Navy.

Mrs. Samantha McCallister-Tyler, 83, was born in Missouri and joined the Army to get off of her family’s farm. She enlisted originally into the non-combat pilot program, but was picked up for Officer Candidate School in training. After graduating flight school, she flew a Sea Sprite for several years before being selected to serve in the 160th SOAR. Upon completing SEAR and Advanced Combat Training, she served with the Night Stalkers for the rest of her career. When she was 26 she met James Tyler while transferring a Delta team to his SSVN for a mission. Weather forced her to stay onboard for a week, and the two hit it off, and the rest is history. She is currently retired residing at the Tyler family estate in Charleston.

Leah Tyler, 57, currently works for the CAS FBI. She awakened when she was only 4, displaying great aptitude for sorcery. She was recruited to the FBI straight out of highschool. Later she learned that this was two-fold. One, to use her skills, and two, to keep an eye on her. She excelled in her career. Today, she is a Magic 13 Hermetic Magician. She serves on a rapid response team specializing in awakened threats.

Samuel Tyler, 47, Currently serves at Camp Lejeune as an instructor. Specifically, he oversees the practical training of new Force Recon Marines. Having served in MARSOC for 32 years, he now trains the next generation of Marines. He visits home more often than any of the other siblings, being that he is so close.

Mrs. Anna Roberts-Tyler, 46, is a Naval Engineer currently serving in Charleston. She served on SSNs and SSVNs during her career as an Engineering Officer. She currently oversees all new installations and refueling of fusion reactors for the CAS Atlantic Fleet. Work keeps her away from home, and often takes her overseas for weeks at a time. She is also a Magic 8 Physad and uses her talents to help her work in extremely hostile environments. Her husband is a Mr. Michael Roberts who works at ONI, specializing in underwater reconnaissance and intelligence.

Ezekiel Tyler, 42, is a former Force Recon Marine like his brother Sam. Like his sister Kate, his career was upended by a fight with an HMHVV infected opponent. Unlike Kate, He succumbed to his infection becoming a Loup-Garou. He finished his current enlistment and was discharged. Technology allows him to live a mostly normal life, but finding employment is hard. Currently he works for the Blackwater Corporation. He has extensive training in unarmed combat and his natural claws really augment that. Kate is currently trying to get him to walk on the wild side and become a Shadowrunner, but Blackwater provides a good structure in his life, and provides everything he needs.

Katherine Tyler, 40, is a former Navy SEAL turned Shadwrunner. She enlisted in the Navy as a Diver, but volunteered for SEAL Training while in Dive school. After training she served her whole career with SEAL Team 8. She was the first female on that team, and the second ever female SEAL. She contracted HMHVV at 26, but fought off the virus and became a carrier. After the Navy, she moved to Seattle and became a mercenary, eventually becoming a full blown Shadowrunner. Currently she swears loyalty to the Great Dragon Masaru and the Hukbong Bayan. She has a very close relationship to the Great Spirit Teldragon, and there are rumors that this is very much a master-servant relationship.

==Appearance==

===Cyberware and Bioware===
Most of Kate's ware is actually very subtle. Only her Fangs, Claws, Cybereyes, Datajacks, and Orthoskin Mods are actually visible. She has a datajack behind her left ear and one on her right wrist. Her fangs are vampire-like and usually always visible. Her claws are often hid behind gloves due to her HMHVV. Her Sharkskin mod is visible as rough skin on her arms and legs. Dragon Hide is shown as subtle smooth scales across her shoulders, back, and chest. Her Cybereyes exhibit the normal slight glow, and hers are colored purple. They match her original eye color.

===Tattoos and Scars===
She bears numerous small scars from her service, but one stands out. A jagged claw scar extends from the base of her neck to her shoulder. This is where a ghoul grabbed her and cut along the top plate of her armor through the Kevlar. It healed, but left a very prominent scar. This can be seen if she wears a t-shirt. It can just barely be seen over the collar of an armored jacket or dress coat.

Kate has numerous tattoos as well. She has a full right sleeve that's very much CAS and military inspired. She has a SEAL trident on the back of her neck, but low enough to be concealed by a collard shirt. She also has a lunging shark on her left arm.

Kate recently had Grey Mana Tattoos done on her back in the form of a large shark. The tail starts just above her butt, curves up her back, and over her right shoulder. The shark's jaws open just under her collarbones. This makes it so it is visually hidden wearing clothes, but as with all grey mana tattoos, awakened can see it for what it is.

===Clothing===
Kate is a tall, fit former CAS Navy SEAL.

She typically wears a knee length black and silver armor jacket over a long sleeve shirt. She wears black pants and black custom Lonestar Bates combat boots. Her jacket has the image of a black and blue dragon on the back and the words “Hukbong Bayan” on the top across her shoulders.

She typically carries her Cavalier Evanator, Victorinox blades, tricked out commlink, drug injectors, BTLs, and assorted normal everyday things on her person wherever she goes.

Kate in SWAT Armor looks like a typical military Special Operator. She wears a small CAS flag patch on her right shoulder, and a small black dragon with white horns and the letters "H-U-K" on the other shoulder. Loaded out, she carries a custom FN-HAR and rotary grenade launcher on slings, with microgrenades and ammunition strapped to her rig. She wears a low profile backpack filled with tools and supplies, and usually carries a few kilos of C4 with her. She also sports a very large claymore across her back.

Kate wears her old CAS dog tags everywhere. She breaks this habit only in certain situations. In addition to the two that are normally there, she has a red one that says "CARRIER" on one side, and "HMHVV III" on the other.

===Matrix Persona===
She uses a blue shark for her matrix persona. Her agent appears as a blue corgi made of energy or electricity of some sort. They occasionally have glitches where they appear as a large detailed wolf, but glitch back to normal after a split second. They seem to have a dog brain one moment and intelligent the next. This is due to the fact that Von Neumann used an actual sapient AI that was stripped down in the construction of her agent.

StormSeeker2214: /* Contacts */

{{Redbox|<center>Kate is a proud citizen of the CAS. While she is patriotic towards everything related to the South, her family and friends have nothing but disdain for slavery and racism towards any part of metahumanity. She respects her Southern war heroes, but not all of their values. Her attitude in-game reflects this.</center>}}

{{Redbox|<center>Kate is sworn to the Great Dragon Masaru's service.</center>}}

{{roundbox|<center>What's the point in succeeding if succeeding is easy?

I want no part of easy.

I want the struggle,

I want the fight,

I want the pain.

And then I want the best feeling of all.

That the world did everything it could to beat me,

And I won.</center>}}

===Summary===
"Navy SEAL training was the great equalizer. Nothing mattered except your will to succeed."

"A sword wields no strength, unless the hand that holds it has courage."

Kate is a former CAS Navy SEAL. She came from a military family. She is proud, but feels like she lives in her father's shadow. She left South Carolina soon after her discharge to make her own name in the world. Her service career was exemplary, but her father was an Admiral and he often overshadows her.

Her old callsign was "Starlight". She was originally the only female in SEAL Team 8, and some PO3 made the mistake of saying she was "Pretty as starlight", which earned him a punch in the mouth. Unfortunately, the joke stuck and so did the name.

Kate is a warrior born. She specializes in tactical insertions, amphibious ops, diving and underwater demolitions. Her marksmanship skills are excellent. In the Teams, she was notorious for her propensity to blow things up, or at least try to. Recently she has developed her physical combat skills and now prefers melee combat. Kate is a skill monkey. She can throw dice on almost any active skill, and knows a surprising amount of knowledge skills. She possesses decent hacking skills.

Kate is not awakened, but possesses more knowledge than most mages. She has deep resources to call on to deal with these threats, and can often surprise her foes with her knowledge.

Kate serves the Great Form Guidance Spirit [[Teldragon]]. She promised to assist him in his endeavors regarding the [https://shreloaded.net/wiki/Dead_Gods_Stir Horned God]. Kate recently engaged in a temporary power pact with him. She has performed the Assensing, Divination, and Psychometry skills and powers at an effective magic 14.

Alice Kane and Bautista both know that she is an HMHVV carrier. Alice is her personal cybersurgeon, and Kate pays the premium to make sure everything is safe and OK with her operations.

Kate has Grey Mana tattoos on her back. Rating 3.

Kate is a Consummate Professional. Once she gives her word, she doesn't easily break it. Only rarely has this been done, and only for the right reasons.

Officially, Kate is a member of the [[Huk]] who directly reports to [[Bautista]]. Unofficially, She is one of Masaru's Shadowrunners he has on retainer.

===Goals===
Kate's thirst for knowledge is insatiable. Everything that drives her forward revolves around the possibility of learning something new.
===Esoteric Lore===
Kate's library is large and includes many rare and sometimes forbidden books. Most are on magic and ancient history, all the way back into the 4th world. Some of her more rare and valuable items include:

Al Azif (Fragmentary, Arabic)

De Vermiis Mysteriis (Latin)

Unaussprechlichen Kulten (German)

Pnakotic Manuscripts (Greek)

Seven Cryptical Books of Hsan (Mandarin Chinese)

Thaumaturgical Prodigies in the New-England Canaan (English)

==Blacktooth Dagger==
Kate's most treasured possession is a Blacktooth Dagger. Normally it represents membership to Assets Inc., hers was a gift from [[Ryan Mercury]] after rescuing his teammates during the [[GTFO of GeMiTo]] Run. It represents all her hard work and accomplishments in the Shadows. It is also a symbol of her dedication to stand against the dark, evil things that threaten our world. Her goals don't always follow those of the Foundation, but more often than not she finds herself fighting on the same side as them.

==Starshatter==
<s>Kate wields the masterfully hand forged claymore Starshatter. She spends part of each day training with it, and it has since become an extension of herself. The sword was forged by Onotari Arms in Germany and shipped to her. A little incentive from S-K to pay her back, and show her who she should really be working for. It was an "anonymous" gift from one Hans Brackhaus. The hilt is leather over black wood, with a steel cross-guard. The blade is made of a proprietary Onotari Arms tool steel alloy resistant to corrosion and breaking. The blade is almost a pure silver-white, and catches the light easily. On the blade is an inscription written in German, ''"Die stärksten Klingen werden mit Drachenfeuer geschmiedet"''. The sword itself stands 1.4 meters tall, and Kate has a tendency to use it more akin to an axe than a sword due to it's sheer size and weight.</s>

<s>As of Sangre Por Sangre, the weapon was further customized. A specialist from the Draco Foundation had the hilt replaced with a black bone-like material, and glowing draconic runes were etched into the blade. What started as a masterpiece by Onotari Arms was made into a work of art by Brackhaus, and what he made a work of art was remade into a truly unique blade by the Draco Foundation.</s>

<s>It is her most unique and defining item she owns. It represents a great deal of respect between herself, and the dragons. </s>

<s>The runes are a R7 unbound Weapon Focus. Assensing detects Draconic Magic used to create it.</s>

Starshatter is currently in the possession of Lofwyr's agent, Scale.

==Kate's Collection of Blades==
Kate has a large collection of unique blades. Most are not old, but all are singular.

Lung's Gift - A replacement for Starshatter. Kate gave Lung a tip about the Fourth Coin of Luck, and in return was gifted a masterwork of Longquan steel. A claymore with a sharkskin handle, black cross guard, and a blade forged by the greatest smith in China.

Blacktooth Dagger - The mark of membership to Assets Inc. Given to her by Quicksilver. Contains an unbound F7 Draconic Weapon Focus.

Onotari Arms Mk III Dive Knife - Kate's knife from her SEAL days. Broken and remade multiple times, it is her oldest companion. The blade bears the words "Facta, Non Verba".

Matched Vibro Blade Cutlass and Knife - A matched pair of vibro blades, serrated and wicked. They complete her true Huk persona.

Mr. Braun's commemorative Stiletto - A commemoration to Dr. Braun, a pioneer in biotechnology. Retrieved from a bunker holding a Horror Show Shedim captive.

Silver Trident - For looks, mostly. An item made as a reward from a fencing tournament in France. Exceptional quality.

Hatred's Bite - A Spanish style rapier. Commissioned when she began learning the style.

Heartrender - An Ares-made blade. One of their special mono-edged swords.

Inu No Kiba - A decorative vibrosword bearing inscriptions of a legend about an Inugami. Presented by the leader of a Dog Shifter tribe on Yomi Island.

Hinode - A Katana, specially made using the old ways with modern steel. A blend of tradition and technology.

Matched Victorinox Sword and Knife - Matched to her favorite black dress. Concealable lethality.

==Background==
Kate was born in Charleston, South Carolina. Her father was an Admiral in the CAS Navy and former Captain of an SSVN, and her mother served in the CAS Airforce. Kate joined the CAS Navy when she was 17. Initially, she signed up as a Navy Diver, but her high aptitude and technical skills opened up more dangerous jobs. She volunteered for the SEALs when she was 19, completing training a year later.

She once got to participate in a PR exchange program where she and 11 others went to Moscow for 3 months. She learned new fighting styles from the Red Army, and picked up some specialized skills there.

When she was 29, she became infected with HMHVV III. Her team boarded a vessel that had gone dark off the coast of Virginia. Turns out everyone onboard was a ghoul. Out of 8 SEALS that went in, 2 came out. Her PO1, who was fine, and Kate, who had been exposed. She fought off the infection but became a carrier. It made her sort of a pariah, but allowed her to become more specialized, being able to fight those infected with the Krieger Strain without the risk of consequence.

She had a long and prestigious career in the Navy. She achieved the rank of PO1, retiring after 20 years of service. Her constant desire to strive for greatness led her to acquire more and more cyber and bioware. She has sculpted her body to have many subtle but important enhancements. Anything she lacks she makes up for with her skills and training.

She moved to Seattle after this to work as a civilian contactor. A friend who moved there said she might find work. Initially she thought to contract to the UCAS Navy, but found them annoying to work for. Plus they didn't seem to like her due to her previous employment in the CAS Navy. She receives a pension from the Navy, but donates 100% of it to a charity fund dedicated to wounded and disabled soldiers and veterans. She doesn't even count this income as hers at this point.

She soon discovered the life of Shadowrunning to supplement her income. Plus she wanted the excitement since civilian life is so boring.

==Kate's Family==
Admiral James Tyler, 93, began his 45 year career with the CAS Navy at the young age of 17. He joined with a waiver from his parents. He began his career as an enlisted SONAR Technician, serving his first tour on the fast attack submarine CSS Lee. Admiral Tyler served for 12 years, attaining the rank of Chief Petty Officer before being selected into Officer Candidate School. After receiving his commission, he served as the ASW Officer on the CSS Savannah. Serving with distinction, he received his first command of a patrol submarine when he was made Lieutenant. His promotion to Captain saw him command the CSS Richmond, one of the newly commissioned SSVN class submarines. This would prove to be his most prestigious command. After the Richmond, he served at numerous positions of leadership, eventually serving his final 10 years at the Naval War College. His insight led to numerous tactical advances for the Navy.

Mrs. Samantha McCallister-Tyler, 83, was born in Missouri and joined the Army to get off of her family’s farm. She enlisted originally into the non-combat pilot program, but was picked up for Officer Candidate School in training. After graduating flight school, she flew a Sea Sprite for several years before being selected to serve in the 160th SOAR. Upon completing SEAR and Advanced Combat Training, she served with the Night Stalkers for the rest of her career. When she was 26 she met James Tyler while transferring a Delta team to his SSVN for a mission. Weather forced her to stay onboard for a week, and the two hit it off, and the rest is history. She is currently retired residing at the Tyler family estate in Charleston.

Leah Tyler, 57, currently works for the CAS FBI. She awakened when she was only 4, displaying great aptitude for sorcery. She was recruited to the FBI straight out of highschool. Later she learned that this was two-fold. One, to use her skills, and two, to keep an eye on her. She excelled in her career. Today, she is a Magic 13 Hermetic Magician. She serves on a rapid response team specializing in awakened threats.

Samuel Tyler, 47, Currently serves at Camp Lejeune as an instructor. Specifically, he oversees the practical training of new Force Recon Marines. Having served in MARSOC for 32 years, he now trains the next generation of Marines. He visits home more often than any of the other siblings, being that he is so close.

Mrs. Anna Roberts-Tyler, 46, is a Naval Engineer currently serving in Charleston. She served on SSNs and SSVNs during her career as an Engineering Officer. She currently oversees all new installations and refueling of fusion reactors for the CAS Atlantic Fleet. Work keeps her away from home, and often takes her overseas for weeks at a time. She is also a Magic 8 Physad and uses her talents to help her work in extremely hostile environments. Her husband is a Mr. Michael Roberts who works at ONI, specializing in underwater reconnaissance and intelligence.

Ezekiel Tyler, 42, is a former Force Recon Marine like his brother Sam. Like his sister Kate, his career was upended by a fight with an HMHVV infected opponent. Unlike Kate, He succumbed to his infection becoming a Loup-Garou. He finished his current enlistment and was discharged. Technology allows him to live a mostly normal life, but finding employment is hard. Currently he works for the Blackwater Corporation. He has extensive training in unarmed combat and his natural claws really augment that. Kate is currently trying to get him to walk on the wild side and become a Shadowrunner, but Blackwater provides a good structure in his life, and provides everything he needs.

Katherine Tyler, 40, is a former Navy SEAL turned Shadwrunner. She enlisted in the Navy as a Diver, but volunteered for SEAL Training while in Dive school. After training she served her whole career with SEAL Team 8. She was the first female on that team, and the second ever female SEAL. She contracted HMHVV at 26, but fought off the virus and became a carrier. After the Navy, she moved to Seattle and became a mercenary, eventually becoming a full blown Shadowrunner. Currently she swears loyalty to the Great Dragon Masaru and the Hukbong Bayan. She has a very close relationship to the Great Spirit Teldragon, and there are rumors that this is very much a master-servant relationship.

<s>Thousand-Yard Stare - Kate spent most of her adult life in the Navy, and has a problem dealing with civilians.</s> Kate has been out of the Navy long enough. She has learned how to interact with civilians much better.

Wanted - Aztechnology(100k) - A minor inconvenience. She spit in their face on the Sangre Por Sangre Run and expected no less.

==Appearance==

===Cyberware and Bioware===
Most of Kate's ware is actually very subtle. Only her Fangs, Claws, Cybereyes, Datajacks, and Orthoskin Mods are actually visible. She has a datajack behind her left ear and one on her right wrist. Her fangs are vampire-like and usually always visible. Her claws are often hid behind gloves due to her HMHVV. Her Sharkskin mod is visible as rough skin on her arms and legs. Dragon Hide is shown as subtle smooth scales across her shoulders, back, and chest. Her Cybereyes exhibit the normal slight glow, and hers are colored purple. They match her original eye color.

===Tattoos and Scars===
She bears numerous small scars from her service, but one stands out. A jagged claw scar extends from the base of her neck to her shoulder. This is where a ghoul grabbed her and cut along the top plate of her armor through the Kevlar. It healed, but left a very prominent scar. This can be seen if she wears a t-shirt. It can just barely be seen over the collar of an armored jacket or dress coat.

Kate has numerous tattoos as well. She has a full right sleeve that's very much CAS and military inspired. She has a SEAL trident on the back of her neck, but low enough to be concealed by a collard shirt. She also has a lunging shark on her left arm.

Kate recently had Grey Mana Tattoos done on her back in the form of a large shark. The tail starts just above her butt, curves up her back, and over her right shoulder. The shark's jaws open just under her collarbones. This makes it so it is visually hidden wearing clothes, but as with all grey mana tattoos, awakened can see it for what it is.

===Clothing===
Kate is a tall, fit former CAS Navy SEAL.

She typically wears a knee length black and silver armor jacket over a long sleeve shirt. She wears black pants and black custom Lonestar Bates combat boots. Her jacket has the image of a black and blue dragon on the back and the words “Hukbong Bayan” on the top across her shoulders.

She typically carries her Cavalier Evanator, Victorinox blades, tricked out commlink, drug injectors, BTLs, and assorted normal everyday things on her person wherever she goes.

Kate in SWAT Armor looks like a typical military Special Operator. She wears a small CAS flag patch on her right shoulder, and a small black dragon with white horns and the letters "H-U-K" on the other shoulder. Loaded out, she carries a custom FN-HAR and rotary grenade launcher on slings, with microgrenades and ammunition strapped to her rig. She wears a low profile backpack filled with tools and supplies, and usually carries a few kilos of C4 with her. She also sports a very large claymore across her back.

Kate wears her old CAS dog tags everywhere. She breaks this habit only in certain situations. In addition to the two that are normally there, she has a red one that says "CARRIER" on one side, and "HMHVV III" on the other.

===Matrix Persona===
She uses a blue shark for her matrix persona. Her agent appears as a blue corgi made of energy or electricity of some sort. They occasionally have glitches where they appear as a large detailed wolf, but glitch back to normal after a split second. They seem to have a dog brain one moment and intelligent the next. This is due to the fact that Von Neumann used an actual sapient AI that was stripped down in the construction of her agent.

|Matriarch
|Elaine is a lioness from the plains of South Africa. She grew wild, becoming leader of her pride, before ever speaking to metahumans. Her animalistic instincts rule her actions. Her maternal instincts have followed her from the plains of Africa to the streets of Seattle. She can sometimes take a protective stance over her teammates.

|Pride of a Lion
|Elaine is not shy about showing off her non-elven form. She is an upstanding South African citizen, and also quietly enjoys the protection of The Rain Queen. She fears almost nothing.

|-
|Big Game Hunter
|From a chance encounter Elaine was introduced to the Harmful Paranimals Act of Quebec. Bellerophon made her aware of the hunting clubs all over Quebec, and Elaine was hooked. She sits in a grey area, being a shifter, so she has to be careful. But she can run all her bounties through Bellerophon for a smaller cut, but safer transaction. She spends a lot of time in Montreal on expeditions.
|NONE

|Carnivore
|Elaine is an apex predator. Secretly, she enjoys the taste of metahumans above all others. But she controls herself among Runners and normal people. It would be very bad form to make a snack of the random person.
|NONE
|-
|}

===Summary===
Red Magic Adept. She uses melee attacks up close and archery at range. She follows the Invisible Way and is very sneaky. She possesses good social skills, is fashion conscious, and has no problem fitting in a club or meeting room. She doesn't openly flaunt her shifter status. She prefers to operate under the guise of a SURGE III elf.

Elaine frequents Montreal. She loves the city and is becoming addicted to the big game hunting culture that the country has fostered there with the passing of the Harmful Paranimals Act. Elaine is not *specifically* called out as a target, but keeps very cautious about it anyways. She used Bellerophon to collect all her bounties. He takes a cut, and no one hunts her.

Elaine has a taste for meat. The redder and the more raw the better. Her guilty pleasure is metahuman flesh. She keeps quiet about it around other metahumans. Best not to think that your teammate might take a bite out of you.

Elaine's pelt is promised to Bellerophon upon her death. He'd offer a reward for whoever returns it to him.

Next IG: IG3

Current IG Timer: IG6 - 28 JUN 23 (Needs an update)

Languages Spoken: Bantu, English, French, Sperethiel, Salish, Sioux, Apsáalooke.

Elaine was Resubmitted after the Éclaire la Nuit run.

===Goals===
We need friends in this city.

We also need more skills. You gotta learn to interface with society, and Elaine needs to get better at it.

The Way of Unified Mana is something Solarian told us we need to get, but never took time to learn. Basic skills and Metamagics are on the list first, though.

==Equipment of Note==

===Custom Compound Bow===
Elaine carries a customized PSE Mach 33 in carbon fiber. She also has a traditional recurve bow she had built when she was in Cheyenne a year ago.

===Ares Vigorous Assault Cannon===
Human technology makes hunting very unfair. Elaine decided to take a page from their book. After all, how do you make the greatest predator on the African plains even deadlier? Arm them.

===Vault of Ages===
Elaine has a Vault of Ages that Bellerophon made her in the form of a leather quiver. It's R3, and was made by an Enchanter of Magic 6.

==Background==
"Every scar I have makes me who I am."

Elaine was once matriarch of her pride. Her mate had died several years before and through her awakened abilities she claimed the mantle of leadership. Long had she been a terror among the plains of northern Azania. A chance encounter with Shadowrunners attempting to poach lion pelts caused her to reveal her secret, and she could no longer hide her abilities. She offered herself to Azania in exchange for the safety of her pride. She served with distinction and pride in the Azania Special Forces becoming a legendary fighter. Her devotion to Azania was unmatched. So long as they provided protection for her pride she would give them her service. This earned her a famous reputation for protecting the downtrodden, and the weak. She is a kind matriarch to her friends and people. But she is death to her enemies.

After many years she desired to travel. Her pride was safe under Azania's protection and she had the freedom to do as she pleased. Leaving the Army she set out West. She started in America, settling down in Seattle for now. She wants to test the waters. She moved from the open plains of Azania, to the steel caverns and concrete jungles of Seattle.

==Narrative Significant Qualities==

===Positive===
Agile Defender - In the wild you have to depend on your instincts more to survive.

Exceptional Attribute(Magic) - Magic flows through her easily. It could be that as a shifter she is more easily empowered.

Hawk Eye - Elaine has a predator's sharp eyes.

Honest Face - Elaine has that look that makes you want to trust her.

Jack of all Trades - You gotta learn the ropes.

Mentor Spirit (Berserker) - The beast within sometimes becomes the beast without. For all her metahuman looks and civilized habits, there is no mistaking the animal that lies beneath.

Mentor's Mask - A lack of control shows through when situations become more...exciting.

Social Chameleon - How can ears and a tail blend in a crowd? Magic! Or skill, depending on who you ask.

SFDA - A hunter's natural instincts

The Invisible Way - Silent and deadly. Magic makes her a ghost.

Broadened Auditory System, Balance Receptor, and Low-light Vision are traits of her race.

===Negative===
Allergy: Gold, Severe - Just as in legends, she is vulnerable to the precious metal.

Code of Honor: Paladin's Code - Elaine has no use for metahuman politics and agendas. She is more than a warrior. She is her pride's matriarch. She is a mother, and a protector.

Distinctive Style - Lion ears are not so easy to hide. She often doesn't try to.

SINner: Azani - Issued for her military service.

Uneducated - No public schooling for lions, sadly.

==SINs==
Real - Azania

Fake R4 - Québec - Renée Sylvestre - SURGE III Elf. Registered as a big game hunter in Montreal.

==Appearance==
===Shifter Features===
Her metahuman form is an Elf, with some changes. As a lion she keeps certain features even in that form. Instead of knife ears she has furry lion ones on her head. She has pronounced claws on her hands and feet. She is very muscular for her form. Her teeth are sharp and very much lion-like. Her eyes have regular iris's, but they almost glow as deep golden pools. Her distinctly silver hair has a lot of volume and is very long. She maintains the guise of a SURGE Elf while in metahuman form.

In her real form she is a great silver lion. The coloration is owing to her awakened abilities. She stands 5 feet tall at her shoulders, with an overall body length of 100 inches counting her tail. She weighs 600 pounds. She is slightly larger than the biggest big male lions of her subspecies.

===Tattoos===
Elaine has numerous tribal tattoos in her metahuman form. They are across her back, upper and lower arms, and upper thighs.

===Scars===
Elaine has many. Nearly every single one is from some sort of combat. Claw marks, bullet holes, sword cuts. Every one left a mark, and every one has a story.

===Foci===
Elaine has none, but Bellerophon has given her ideas for some in the future.

===Clothing===
Casually Elaine wears boots, jeans, and her favorite Cape Town Stormers hoodie. She usually wears her long silver hair in a ponytail.

In armor Elaine wears a white and red knee length high collar coat with loose pants and boots. Her FBA is distinct as it's a design similar to what is found in her homeland. She wears a Voidblack cloak as well.

===Matrix Persona===
A little silver lion avatar.

Languages Spoken: Bantu, English, French, Sperethiel, Salish, Sioux, Apsáalooke, German.

Elaine was Resubmitted after the Éclaire la Nuit run.

===Goals===
We need friends in this city.

We also need more skills. You gotta learn to interface with society, and Elaine needs to get better at it.

The Way of Unified Mana is something Solarian told us we need to get, but never took time to learn. Basic skills and Metamagics are on the list first, though.

==Equipment of Note==

===Custom Compound Bow===
Elaine carries a customized PSE Mach 33 in carbon fiber. She also has a traditional recurve bow she had built when she was in Cheyenne a year ago.

===Ares Vigorous Assault Cannon===
Human technology makes hunting very unfair. Elaine decided to take a page from their book. After all, how do you make the greatest predator on the African plains even deadlier? Arm them.

===Vault of Ages===
Elaine has a Vault of Ages that Bellerophon made her in the form of a leather quiver. It's R3, and was made by an Enchanter of Magic 6.

==Background==
"Every scar I have makes me who I am."

Elaine was once matriarch of her pride. Her mate had died several years before and through her awakened abilities she claimed the mantle of leadership. Long had she been a terror among the plains of northern Azania. A chance encounter with Shadowrunners attempting to poach lion pelts caused her to reveal her secret, and she could no longer hide her abilities. She offered herself to Azania in exchange for the safety of her pride. She served with distinction and pride in the Azania Special Forces becoming a legendary fighter. Her devotion to Azania was unmatched. So long as they provided protection for her pride she would give them her service. This earned her a famous reputation for protecting the downtrodden, and the weak. She is a kind matriarch to her friends and people. But she is death to her enemies.

After many years she desired to travel. Her pride was safe under Azania's protection and she had the freedom to do as she pleased. Leaving the Army she set out West. She started in America, settling down in Seattle for now. She wants to test the waters. She moved from the open plains of Azania, to the steel caverns and concrete jungles of Seattle.

==Narrative Significant Qualities==

===Positive===
Agile Defender - In the wild you have to depend on your instincts more to survive.

Exceptional Attribute(Magic) - Magic flows through her easily. It could be that as a shifter she is more easily empowered.

Hawk Eye - Elaine has a predator's sharp eyes.

Honest Face - Elaine has that look that makes you want to trust her.

Jack of all Trades - You gotta learn the ropes.

Mentor Spirit (Berserker) - The beast within sometimes becomes the beast without. For all her metahuman looks and civilized habits, there is no mistaking the animal that lies beneath.

Mentor's Mask - A lack of control shows through when situations become more...exciting.

Social Chameleon - How can ears and a tail blend in a crowd? Magic! Or skill, depending on who you ask.

SFDA - A hunter's natural instincts

The Invisible Way - Silent and deadly. Magic makes her a ghost.

Broadened Auditory System, Balance Receptor, and Low-light Vision are traits of her race.

===Negative===
Allergy: Gold, Severe - Just as in legends, she is vulnerable to the precious metal.

Code of Honor: Paladin's Code - Elaine has no use for metahuman politics and agendas. She is more than a warrior. She is her pride's matriarch. She is a mother, and a protector.

Distinctive Style - Lion ears are not so easy to hide. She often doesn't try to.

SINner: Azani - Issued for her military service.

Uneducated - No public schooling for lions, sadly.

==SINs==
Real - Azania

Fake R4 - Québec - Renée Sylvestre - SURGE III Elf. Registered as a big game hunter in Montreal.

==Appearance==
===Shifter Features===
Her metahuman form is an Elf, with some changes. As a lion she keeps certain features even in that form. Instead of knife ears she has furry lion ones on her head. She has pronounced claws on her hands and feet. She is very muscular for her form. Her teeth are sharp and very much lion-like. Her eyes have regular iris's, but they almost glow as deep golden pools. Her distinctly silver hair has a lot of volume and is very long. She maintains the guise of a SURGE Elf while in metahuman form.

In her real form she is a great silver lion. The coloration is owing to her awakened abilities. She stands 5 feet tall at her shoulders, with an overall body length of 100 inches counting her tail. She weighs 600 pounds. She is slightly larger than the biggest big male lions of her subspecies.

===Tattoos===
Elaine has numerous tribal tattoos in her metahuman form. They are across her back, upper and lower arms, and upper thighs.

===Scars===
Elaine has many. Nearly every single one is from some sort of combat. Claw marks, bullet holes, sword cuts. Every one left a mark, and every one has a story.

===Foci===
Elaine has none, but Bellerophon has given her ideas for some in the future.

===Clothing===
Casually Elaine wears boots, jeans, and her favorite Cape Town Stormers hoodie. She usually wears her long silver hair in a ponytail.

In armor Elaine wears a white and red knee length high collar coat with loose pants and boots. Her FBA is distinct as it's a design similar to what is found in her homeland. She wears a Voidblack cloak as well.

===Matrix Persona===
A little silver lion avatar.

|-
|Matriarch
|Elaine is a lioness from the plains of South Africa. She grew wild, becoming leader of her pride, before ever speaking to metahumans. Her animalistic instincts rule her actions. Her maternal instincts have followed her from the plains of Africa to the streets of Seattle. She can sometimes take a protective stance over her teammates.
|NONE
|-
|Pride of a Lion
|Elaine is not shy about showing off her non-elven form. She is an upstanding South African citizen, and also quietly enjoys the protection of The Rain Queen. She fears almost nothing.
|NONE
|-
|Big Game Hunter
|From a chance encounter Elaine was introduced to the Harmful Paranimals Act of Quebec. Bellerophon made her aware of the hunting clubs all over Quebec, and Elaine was hooked. She sits in a grey area, being a shifter, so she has to be careful. But she can run all her bounties through Bellerophon for a smaller cut, but safer transaction. She spends a lot of time in Montreal on expeditions.
|NONE
|-
|Carnivore
|Elaine is an apex predator. Secretly, she enjoys the taste of metahumans above all others. But she controls herself among Runners and normal people. It would be very bad form to make a snack of the random person.
|NONE
|-
|}

===Summary===
Red Magic Adept. She uses melee attacks up close and archery at range. She follows the Invisible Way and is very sneaky. She possesses good social skills, is fashion conscious, and has no problem fitting in a club or meeting room. She doesn't openly flaunt her shifter status. She prefers to operate under the guise of a SURGE III elf.

Elaine frequents Montreal. She loves the city and is becoming addicted to the big game hunting culture that the country has fostered there with the passing of the Harmful Paranimals Act. Elaine is not *specifically* called out as a target, but keeps very cautious about it anyways. She used Bellerophon to collect all her bounties. He takes a cut, and no one hunts her.

Elaine has a taste for meat. The redder and the more raw the better. Her guilty pleasure is metahuman flesh. She keeps quiet about it around other metahumans. Best not to think that your teammate might take a bite out of you.

Elaine's pelt is promised to Bellerophon upon her death. He'd offer a reward for whoever returns it to him.

|-
|}

===Summary===
Technically a Chaos Mage, he plays very Shaman-ish. He was raised by the Shamans of the Sinsearch tribe, but prefers to use his own methods in day to day magic use.

His magical prowess is also matched by his physical abilities. He isn't the most powerful as a Street Sam, but has the ware, skills, and ATTs to fit the role pretty well.

He is not shy about using any and all forms of magic, including mental manipulation. He does have strict codes of honor, which keep him mostly in line. But in a fight, he fights to win. He is very much a might-makes-right kind of creature.

Ty especially adheres to the metahuman ideal of honor. He cares little for the grand schemes in the metahuman world, preferring to just satisfy his curiosity. He would never willingly break his word, and nothing, not money, fame, status, or anything can buy him. Once he gives his word, he follows through. Ty doesn't seek the limelight, and as such he is absolutely willing to cast and sustain spells to make his team better.

<s>Ty possesses an old, handwritten copy of Robin Hood, dating from the middle ages. He has never had it appraised, so he is not completely sure of the date or value.</s>
This was used as a gift to recover a piece of Asahiro's sword.

Ty possesses a R1 Nuclear Power Focus inside a leaded glass box taken as a trophy.

Ty is doing grunt work for the SSC Rangers to make up for his involvement with the [[A Sound of Thunder]] job. He probably won't ever be totally off the hook, but the Rangers aren't actively hunting him anymore.

Current IG: IG7

Upcoming IG Dates
-IG 13 - 28MAY2026
-IG 14 - 07DEC2026

===Goals===
Find a cause. Ty fights for his home, but isn't really too involved in many other things.

===The Chainbreaker===
Ty is respected by all spirits he summons.

Ty will often go out of his way to avoid violence with anyone, preferring not to get shot while still completing the job. But he purposely tries not to fight spirits based on principle alone. For every Mage like him that respects them and genuinely views them as allies, there are a dozen out there who do not.

===Ty's Mentor - The Avatar of Reverie===
[[File:Ty's_Mentor.png|250px]]

The Avatar of Reverie, or The Alcoholic, is a Mentor Spirit that is a distant cousin to the Seducer. It has the same benefits and drawbacks of that Mentor Spirit but with a few flavor differences. Where The Seducer seeks to seduce and manipulate in the traditional sense, Reverie is openly friendly. The Spirit is the embodiment of the phrase “Why have enemies when you can have friends?”. Plus every good Con needs some base to make it believable. Deception can be seen through and manipulations can be uncovered. But with plausible evidence, a good attitude, and some malicious compliance thrown in? You could probably get away with anything. Alcohol helps too, naturally.

Not commonly encountered, it was drawn to the artificially enhanced astral conditions in Sophocles. It has been present but has only recently shown itself to people. Since appearing it has taken a new disciple in the form of the Chaos Mage Ty Vallynn.

====Advantages====
All - +2 dice for Con Tests.

Magician - +2 dice for spells, preparations, and spell rituals of the Illusion category.

Adept - 1 free level of Improved Ability for a skill in the Acting or Influence skill group.

====Disadvantages====

You must succeed in a Charisma + Willpower (3) Test to avoid pursuing a vice or indulgence
(drugs, BTLs, sex, and so on) when it is made available.

==Background==
Ty was born in the Salish lands. He was the only shapeshifter in a litter of red foxes. His distinct coloration is a direct result of his awakened powers and shapeshifter qualities.

He grew up like any other fox in the woods. He learned to control his abilities quickly, but didn't interact with a metahuman until he was about a year old. He started interacting with the small villages, and later moved on to the cities. His thirst for knowledge would lead him on to bigger and greater things.

When he was 3, he decided to become a part of the bigger world. He received a SIN a year later, and decided to move to Seattle and experience life on a much larger scale.

Ty lives in Tarislar.

Ty is a member of the Sinsearach tribe.

==Narrative Significant Qualities==

===Positive===
Astral Chameleon - Ty was exposed to some of the best magical teachers that the Salish had to offer. Both because he was a natural, and because they wanted to observe and study him a little bit. Ty's aura fades and blends into the background better than most.

Chain Breaker - Forever an ally to spirits, Ty refuses to entertain the thought of binding them. He tolerates Ally conjuring since the associated mage forms such a strong, personal bond with the spirit.

Daredevil - Practical experience as a Runner is making Ty bolder. He is understanding his strengths and limitations more and more.

Focused Concentration 6 - Ty is a natural when it comes to magic.

History is Not as Certain as We are Taught - TY has poked his little fox nose down into the rabbit hole.

JOAT - Ty is a quick learner, but has a short attention span as a wild animal.

Legendary Rep: Ancients - Ty lives in Tarislar and is a prominent member of the community. This leads to many opportunities to work with the Ancients, and has given him a lot of positive rep with them.

Location Attunement I - Ty's Apartment in Tarislar.

Mage - Ty is a Chaos mage. It makes learning about magic easier, and harder at the same time. He does take quite a bit of inspiration from Inari, and he models many of his symbols after her Shinto tradition. But he uses his own personal chaotic flair when he does things.

Mentor Spirit (The Avatar of Reverie) - Ty follows an Avatar Spirit made of beer he met on his second initiation run. This is a Seducer variant.

Prime Datahaven Membership - Ty is a member of the Denver Nexus.

Quick Healer - The nature of who he is gives him an uncanny knack for healing back minor wounds.

Rad-Tolerant - Stay out of Glow City. But for when you can't, it helps to have some natural resilience.

Shoot First Don't Ask - Quick reflexes keep you alive.

Solid Rep: SSC Rangers - Ty maintains a good reputation with the Rangers. After the Thunderbird incident, he worked hard to improve is reputation and frequently does jobs with them as an on call Mage.

Spirit Affinity: Air - Ty has a natural affinity with spirits of the air. This relationship provides mutual respect between him and the spirits.

Spirit Whisperer - A bond formed after the events in the arctic between himself and Siamat, Lord of the South Wind.

Tough as Nails(Physical I, Stun III) - The more you get hit the tougher you get.

Witness My Hate - Ty doesn't usually use magic for raw damage, but when compelled he makes a great showing of it.

Broadened Auditory System, Keen-eared, Low-light Vision, and Vomeronasal Organ are traits of his race.

===Negative===
Addiction (Mild) (Psyche) - A common drug used by Mages.

Allergy: Silver, Severe - Shapeshifters aren’t normally allergic to silver, but due to unfortunate genetics, Ty is.

SINner: Salish-Shidhe Council - His original SIN. Ty is in good standing back in the SSC.

<s>Uneducated - Ty grew up in the wild. Formal education is a foreign concept to him.</s> Ty has been around humans for years. And he has learned most of the basics.

==SINs==
Salish-Shidhe Council - Ty carries a real Salish SIN.

Salish-Shidhe Council (Fake) R6 - Ty received it as part of a gear reward from his Fixer after a run. The name on the SIN is Lysanthir Valarian

UCAS (Fake) R6 -

Sioux Nation (Fake) R6 -

==Appearance==
===Physical Appearance===
The only thing that stays the same about Ty is his stature. He frequently changes hair color, paints his nails, wears colored contacts, and spins it all together with light illusion magic. His true form is a blue-haired fox boy with pale blue eyes. But you don't often see him as such.

===Tattoos===
Ty has none.

===Foci===
Ty's Foci are extremely unique.

R5 Power Focus - A blue Shinto gate on a necklace.

R4 Centering Focus - A black obsidian arrowhead. Created as repayment for services by a Sioux Medicine Man.

R9 Centering Focus - Ty cut a special deal with Crescent-Slash, the Baobhan Sith spirit, to get a F9 Centering Focus. Ty owes her two great and difficult favors, presumably to serve the Black Lodge in the future. The focus takes the form of a silver ring with an onyx gemstone and Enochian engravings. The translation says: "One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them."

R1 Counterspelling Focus - A rough iron pendant with a symbol of an atom. Gives off slight radiation. Not used, kept as a trophy

===Clothing===
His metahuman form is that of a somewhat short, skinny male elf. His ears, fangs, claws, and tails mark him as a shifter in metahuman form.

In his metahuman form, Ty wears a dark blue and black armored jacket with a matching hooded cloak. He frequently also wears a scarf covering part of his face. The only reason he covers up so much is to hide his shapeshifter traits. He actually finds the multiple layers stifling. He almost always carries a holstered pistol.

His true form is a medium size dark blue fox.

In full gear he wears blue and black full body armor manufactured by Shiawase. It is clearly not military, but a trained eye could spot it as being similar to that used by the Corp's security. He also wears a long black cloak to cover up his tails. He carries a heavily customized Yamaha Raiden, and a holstered pistol.

===Matrix Persona===
Ty uses a picture of a blue and black fox as his custom persona. He takes only a very casual interest in the Matrix, preferring to focus his pursuit of knowledge on magical topics.

Nightmare is an E-Ghost with insatiable curiosity about the Matrix. He pokes and prods wherever he can find something cool. His talents are on the subtle side of hacking, but he is capable of cybercombat if needed. He prefers to sneak around first.

His deck resides in a rented slot at the Seasource Archives. His cover is that he is an online school tutor, specializing in the Matrix and mathematics. He gets plenty of human interaction, and he pays the staff to have a spot and keep his deck in working order.

He holds Ares responsible for what happened to him. He was first and foremost a Matrix specialist, but was also a fit capable individual. He had planned for a future as a mercenary. Too late he realized that they used him. He still deals with Ares professionally, but that's where the relationship ends.

==Background==
Shadowrunners have been pushing themselves to the limit since before we can remember. Not only physically, but also mentally. As the Matrix came to be, it became a new stage for advancement. The Megacorps were first to exploit this. Then the public made their own way onto the Matrix.

John Riley was at the bleeding edge of Matrix development. A crazy smart kid from Atlanta, he got on early with Ares Macrotechnology as a freelancer testing out technology for them. What he saw as a golden opportunity was really Ares using and abusing a deniable asset. The Matrix was just as deadly back then as it is now. And we knew much less about it.

John had always been curious about the Matrix. There are things in the deepest parts of it that we have still yet to explore. His curiosity brought him face to face with oblivion, and cursed him to his current existence. Once, back in 2064, when he was all of 19 years old, he was digging through cyberspace in Europe. Ares was testing a new hot sim interface system and it helped out quite a bit. He was messing around with the old military infrastructures there. Many of them were interconnected. A bit of urban exploring coupled with Matrix digging. The old, icy, brutalist-styled hosts gave way and revealed their secrets. Old military secrets, assets, technology breakthroughs. But a path caught his attention. A frosty, winding road into a darkness. It led to a host in a submarine facility in Sweden. It was well hidden and non-descript. The kind of place that said "Don't mind me, just a normal host here!" Which means it was anything but. He decided to take a dive.

It was the morning of November 2nd, and a day that is seared into John's mind. He slipped in the host easily and inside saw it for what it was. Most of the world knew who Winternight was. Few knew what they were. John inadvertently hacked his way into Valhalla itself. How, he still has no idea. But he was there perhaps minutes, just long enough to fire off a message back to Ares, before he saw oblivion. At 9:31 EST, he ceased to exist. His last images of his old life were of fire, ice, and the end of the world itself. Ragnarök, as Winternight claimed it was. A serpent, and darkness, and pain. More pain than he ever felt. A pain that penetrated his body, mind, and soul. He fell into darkness for what felt like eternity...

But he awoke. Fragmented, disassociated, pieces of his former self. He awoke in a distant frozen tundra. There was no sun, and the wind howled. He stood and realized that this was not right. This was not real. He was, in many ways, not real. He picked up the pieces of himself and put everything back together. He recalled his last memories. Fire. Pain. Winternight. He began to remember himself as John, and slowly realized what might have happened. He has so many questions, but could at least function now. He realized that he is now of the Matrix. John Riley no longer exists. He is something... different. What it is, he will find out. As he reaches out mentally he can feel the new wireless Matrix. It is as if he can access data faster than ever before. It becomes second nature to him. He begins learning about the present. It is July, 2086. Decades have passed.

The being formerly known as John Riley heads towards home. The familiar lines of data streams are still there, but they are faster and smoother than before. His home of Atlanta is now a digital cityscape. He begins to reintegrate himself to society. To rebuild his life now on the Matrix. He wonders to himself... He was a good hacker before. What can he become now?

==Goals==
* Integrate back into society. He is still a person, Confined to the Matrix or not. In some ways he is even more free.

*Become a better hacker. He's good. But he can be better.

*Expand his professional network. He has no physical presence. Maybe he can get a drone, but good allies are good to have.

==Narrative Significant Qualities==

===Positive===
Data Anomaly - A good hacker knows how to hide. But now that his relationship with the Matrix is so strong? He's even better at it.

Depth Augmentations - Logic 4, Willpower 3

Hello World!(3) - John Riley was, and in many ways still is a real person.

Instinctive Hack - Actions done at the speed of thought

Lucky - Cause he just is. Imagine the circumstances that had to happen to arrive at this point?

Munge - N1gh7m4r3 doesn't know where these predatory instincts came from, but sating them feels really really good.

Ninja Vanish - Exit, stage left

Photographic Memory - Enhanced mental capacity

Silence is Golden - Noise is so...noisy. It would be nice if it just went away.

Speed Reading - Bigger brain = better at tasks.

Trust Data, Not Lore - He no longer has a gut to trust it's feelings, so he ignores them completely.

===Negative===
Curiosity Killed the Cat - It got him killed in 2064...

Down the Rabbit Hole - The side effect of all this information in your face is that it all looks interesting.

Lack of Focus - See the above quality.

PSC Thrill Seeker - Again, got him killed in 2064... We see a pattern emerging.

Prejudiced - He holds Ares responsible for his current situation. And he will never forgive them.

Records on File - Ares holds data about his real self. Some might even have an idea he is actually dead.

SINner - He carries a CAS SIN still. After all, his death wasn't actually reported. And they don't care as long as you pay taxes.

Social Stress - He has issues with Ares, and by proxy KE. It shows.

Nightmare is an E-Ghost with insatiable curiosity about the Matrix. He pokes and prods wherever he can find something cool. His talents are on the subtle side of hacking, but he is capable of cybercombat if needed. He prefers to sneak around first.

His deck resides in a rented slot at the Seasource Archives. His cover is that he is an online school tutor, specializing in the Matrix and mathematics. He gets plenty of human interaction, and he pays the staff to have a spot and keep his deck in working order.

He holds Ares responsible for what happened to him. He was first and foremost a Matrix specialist, but was also a fit capable individual. He had planned for a future as a mercenary. Too late he realized that they used him. He still deals with Ares professionally, but that's where the relationship ends.

==Background==
Shadowrunners have been pushing themselves to the limit since before we can remember. Not only physically, but also mentally. As the Matrix came to be, it became a new stage for advancement. The Megacorps were first to exploit this. Then the public made their own way onto the Matrix.

John Riley was at the bleeding edge of Matrix development. A crazy smart kid from Atlanta, he got on early with Ares Macrotechnology as a freelancer testing out technology for them. What he saw as a golden opportunity was really Ares using and abusing a deniable asset. The Matrix was just as deadly back then as it is now. And we knew much less about it.

John had always been curious about the Matrix. There are things in the deepest parts of it that we have still yet to explore. His curiosity brought him face to face with oblivion, and cursed him to his current existence. Once, back in 2064, when he was all of 19 years old, he was digging through cyberspace in Europe. Ares was testing a new hot sim interface system and it helped out quite a bit. He was messing around with the old military infrastructures there. Many of them were interconnected. A bit of urban exploring coupled with Matrix digging. The old, icy, brutalist-styled hosts gave way and revealed their secrets. Old military secrets, assets, technology breakthroughs. But a path caught his attention. A frosty, winding road into a darkness. It led to a host in a submarine facility in Sweden. It was well hidden and non-descript. The kind of place that said "Don't mind me, just a normal host here!" Which means it was anything but. He decided to take a dive.

It was the morning of November 2nd, and a day that is seared into John's mind. He slipped in the host easily and inside saw it for what it was. Most of the world knew who Winternight was. Few knew what they were. John inadvertently hacked his way into Valhalla itself. How, he still has no idea. But he was there perhaps minutes, just long enough to fire off a message back to Ares, before he saw oblivion. At 9:31 EST, he ceased to exist. His last images of his old life were of fire, ice, and the end of the world itself. Ragnarök, as Winternight claimed it was. A serpent, and darkness, and pain. More pain than he ever felt. A pain that penetrated his body, mind, and soul. He fell into darkness for what felt like eternity...

But he awoke. Fragmented, disassociated, pieces of his former self. He awoke in a distant frozen tundra. There was no sun, and the wind howled. He stood and realized that this was not right. This was not real. He was, in many ways, not real. He picked up the pieces of himself and put everything back together. He recalled his last memories. Fire. Pain. Winternight. He began to remember himself as John, and slowly realized what might have happened. He has so many questions, but could at least function now. He realized that he is now of the Matrix. John Riley no longer exists. He is something... different. What it is, he will find out. As he reaches out mentally he can feel the new wireless Matrix. It is as if he can access data faster than ever before. It becomes second nature to him. He begins learning about the present. It is July, 2086. Decades have passed.

The being formerly known as John Riley heads towards home. The familiar lines of data streams are still there, but they are faster and smoother than before. His home of Atlanta is now a digital cityscape. He begins to reintegrate himself to society. To rebuild his life now on the Matrix. He wonders to himself... He was a good hacker before. What can he become now?

==Goals==
* Integrate back into society. He is still a person, Confined to the Matrix or not. In some ways he is even more free.

*Become a better hacker. He's good. But he can be better.

*Expand his professional network. He has no physical presence. Maybe he can get a drone, but good allies are good to have.

==Description==
Nightmare is an E-Ghost with insatiable curiosity about the Matrix. He pokes and prods wherever he can find something cool. His talents are on the subtle side of hacking, but he is capable of cybercombat if needed. He prefers to sneak around first.

His deck resides in a rented slot at the Seasource Archives. His cover is that he is an online school tutor, specializing in the Matrix and mathematics. He gets plenty of human interaction, and he pays the staff to have a spot and keep his deck in working order.

He holds Ares responsible for what happened to him. He was first and foremost a Matrix specialist, but was also a fit capable individual. He had planned for a future as a mercenary. Too late he realized that they used him. He still deals with Ares professionally, but that's where the relationship ends.

==Background==
Shadowrunners have been pushing themselves to the limit since before we can remember. Not only physically, but also mentally. As the Matrix came to be, it became a new stage for advancement. The Megacorps were first to exploit this. Then the public made their own way onto the Matrix.

John Riley was at the bleeding edge of Matrix development. A crazy smart kid from Atlanta, he got on early with Ares Macrotechnology as a freelancer testing out technology for them. What he saw as a golden opportunity was really Ares using and abusing a deniable asset. The Matrix was just as deadly back then as it is now. And we knew much less about it.

John had always been curious about the Matrix. There are things in the deepest parts of it that we have still yet to explore. His curiosity brought him face to face with oblivion, and cursed him to his current existence. Once, back in 2064, when he was all of 19 years old, he was digging through cyberspace in Europe. Ares was testing a new hot sim interface system and it helped out quite a bit. He was messing around with the old military infrastructures there. Many of them were interconnected. A bit of urban exploring coupled with Matrix digging. The old, icy, brutalist-styled hosts gave way and revealed their secrets. Old military secrets, assets, technology breakthroughs. But a path caught his attention. A frosty, winding road into a darkness. It led to a host in a submarine facility in Sweden. It was well hidden and non-descript. The kind of place that said "Don't mind me, just a normal host here!" Which means it was anything but. He decided to take a dive.

It was the morning of November 2nd, and a day that is seared into John's mind. He slipped in the host easily and inside saw it for what it was. Most of the world knew who Winternight was. Few knew what they were. John inadvertently hacked his way into Valhalla itself. How, he still has no idea. But he was there perhaps minutes, just long enough to fire off a message back to Ares, before he saw oblivion. At 9:31 EST, he ceased to exist. His last images of his old life were of fire, ice, and the end of the world itself. Ragnarök, as Winternight claimed it was. A serpent, and darkness, and pain. More pain than he ever felt. A pain that penetrated his body, mind, and soul. He fell into darkness for what felt like eternity...

But he awoke. Fragmented, disassociated, pieces of his former self. He awoke in a distant frozen tundra. There was no sun, and the wind howled. He stood and realized that this was not right. This was not real. He was, in many ways, not real. He picked up the pieces of himself and put everything back together. He recalled his last memories. Fire. Pain. Winternight. He began to remember himself as John, and slowly realized what might have happened. He has so many questions, but could at least function now. He realized that he is now of the Matrix. John Riley no longer exists. He is something... different. What it is, he will find out. As he reaches out mentally he can feel the new wireless Matrix. It is as if he can access data faster than ever before. It becomes second nature to him. He begins learning about the present. It is July, 2086. Decades have passed.

The being formerly known as John Riley heads towards home. The familiar lines of data streams are still there, but they are faster and smoother than before. His home of Atlanta is now a digital cityscape. He begins to reintegrate himself to society. To rebuild his life now on the Matrix. He wonders to himself... He was a good hacker before. What can he become now?

==Description==
Nightmare is an E-Ghost with insatiable curiosity about the Matrix. He pokes and prods wherever he can find something cool. His talents are on the subtle side of hacking, but he is capable of cybercombat if needed. He prefers to sneak around first.

His deck resides in a rented slot at the Seasource Archives. His cover is that he is an online school tutor, specializing in the Matrix and mathematics. He gets plenty of human interaction, and he pays the staff to have a spot and keep his deck in working order.

He holds Ares responsible for what happened to him. Too late he realized that they used him. He still deals with Ares professionally, but that's where the relationship ends.

==Background==
Shadowrunners have been pushing themselves to the limit since before we can remember. Not only physically, but also mentally. As the Matrix came to be, it became a new stage for advancement. The Megacorps were first to exploit this. Then the public made their own way onto the Matrix.

John Riley was at the bleeding edge of Matrix development. A crazy smart kid from Atlanta, he got on early with Ares Macrotechnology as a freelancer testing out technology for them. What he saw as a golden opportunity was really Ares using and abusing a deniable asset. The Matrix was just as deadly back then as it is now. And we knew much less about it.

John had always been curious about the Matrix. There are things in the deepest parts of it that we have still yet to explore. His curiosity brought him face to face with oblivion, and cursed him to his current existence. Once, back in 2064, when he was all of 19 years old, he was digging through cyberspace in Europe. Ares was testing a new hot sim interface system and it helped out quite a bit. The old, icy, brutalist-styled hosts gave way and revealed their secrets. Old military secrets, assets, technology breakthroughs. But a path caught his attention. A frosty, winding road into a darkness. It led to a host in a submarine facility in Sweden. It was well hidden and non-descript. The kind of place that said "Don't mind me, just a normal host here!" Which means it was anything but. He decided to take a dive.

It was the morning of November 2nd, and a day that is seared into John's mind. He slipped in the host easily and inside saw it for what it was. Most of the world knew who Winternight was. Few knew what they were. John inadvertently hacked his way into Valhalla itself. How, he still has no idea. But he was there perhaps minutes, just long enough to fire off a message back to Ares, before he saw oblivion. At 9:31 EST, he ceased to exist. His last images of his old life were of fire, ice, and the end of the world itself. Ragnarök, as Winternight claimed it was. A serpent, and darkness, and pain. More pain than he ever felt. A pain that penetrated his body, mind, and soul. He fell into darkness for what felt like eternity...

But he awoke. Fragmented, disassociated, pieces of his former self. He awoke in a distant frozen tundra. There was no sun, and the wind howled. He stood and realized that this was not right. This was not real. He was, in many ways, not real. He picked up the pieces of himself and put everything back together. He recalled his last memories. Fire. Pain. Winternight. He began to remember himself as John, and slowly realized what might have happened. He has so many questions, but could at least function now. He realized that he is now of the Matrix. John Riley no longer exists. He is something... different. What it is, he will find out. As he reaches out mentally he can feel the new wireless Matrix. It is as if he can access data faster than ever before. It becomes second nature to him. He begins learning about the present. It is July, 2086. Decades have passed.

The being formerly known as John Riley heads towards home. The familiar lines of data streams are still there, but they are faster and smoother than before. His home of Atlanta is now a digital cityscape. He begins to reintegrate himself to society. To rebuild his life now on the Matrix. He wonders to himself... He was a good hacker before. What can he become now?

==Goals==
* Integrate back into society. He is still a person, Confined to the Matrix or not. In some ways he is even more free.

*Become a better hacker. He's good. But he can be better.

*Expand his professional network. He has no physical presence. Maybe he can get a drone, but good allies are good to have.

==Background==
Shadowrunners have been pushing themselves to the limit since before we can remember. Not only physically, but also mentally. As the Matrix came to be, it became a new stage for advancement. The Megacorps were first to exploit this. Then the public made their own way onto the Matrix.

John Riley was at the bleeding edge of Matrix development. A crazy smart kid from Atlanta, he got on early with Ares Macrotechnology as a freelancer testing out technology for them. What he saw as a golden opportunity was really Ares using and abusing a deniable asset. The Matrix was just as deadly back then as it is now. And we knew much less about it.

John had always been curious about the Matrix. There are things in the deepest parts of it that we have still yet to explore. His curiosity brought him face to face with oblivion, and cursed him to his current existence. Once, back in 2064, when he was all of 19 years old, he was digging through cyberspace in Europe. Ares was testing a new hot sim interface system and it helped out quite a bit. The old, icy, brutalist-styled hosts gave way and revealed their secrets. Old military secrets, assets, technology breakthroughs. But a path caught his attention. A frosty, winding road into a darkness. It led to a host in a submarine facility in Sweden. It was well hidden and non-descript. The kind of place that said "Don't mind me, just a normal host here!" Which means it was anything but. He decided to take a dive.

It was the morning of November 2nd, and a day that is seared into John's mind. He slipped in the host easily and inside saw it for what it was. Most of the world knew who Winternight was. Few knew what they were. John inadvertently hacked his way into Valhalla itself. How, he still has no idea. But he was there perhaps minutes, just long enough to fire off a message back to Ares, before he saw oblivion. At 9:31 EST, he ceased to exist. His last images of his old life were of fire, ice, and the end of the world itself. Ragnarök, as Winternight claimed it was. A serpent, and darkness, and pain. More pain than he ever felt. A pain that penetrated his body, mind, and soul.
