==Summary==

Brodie J. (who is working with or at Horizon for some reason) wants to do a little scrimmage match with less lethality than normal and hires a runner team. Unfortunately, Anderson Silvers isn't a fan of the opposing team and wants 'em all dead. Things get messed up and the runners morality is called into question.
==Background==

Brodie J. and Federated Boeing have been making a killing off The Most Urban Brawl series of matches. To further capitalize on the media series, Brodie J. has partenered with Horizon (against his fathers best wishes) for the current season. More and more teams are popping up and an up-and-coming Most Urban Brawl team from the Barrens requested a match with Horizon. Now, Federated Boeing has an excellent team and record but Horizon is fresh-faced and they asked Brodie J. to facilitate a runner team, a request with which he happily complied.
==The Meet==

The runners received their fixer calls and messages and found their way to a Horizon building, where Brodie J. was happily doing Novacoke. A lot of Novacoke. He invited them in and informed them of the new partnership match. Horizon wanted them to build up a rivalry with this team, as its good for the ratings, so killing would be disincentivized. As he promised a handful of money and sent them on their way, a limo pulled up outside.

Inside was none other than [[Anderson Silvers]]. He told the runners that this team had a brutal history, taking out some of his longtime clients in their path of Urban Brawl destruction. He promised more cash (as well as cyberlimb upgrades and a car) if the runners would ignore Brodie J.'s plan and just straight up kill the other team. The runners, prompted by easy cash, agreed with a smile.
==The Plan==

Newt and Wasp snuck in early to examine the playing field. They found it staffed by camera crews and, suspiciously, a lone figure with a camouflage cloak and a sniper. The two parties spotted one another and the runners lept into action, hoping to kill the opfor member before they could escape. They had no such luck and the sniper was able to slip away. They did learn the ball was ticking as well. Dejected, the 2 runners returned and prepared for the game.
==The Run==

After the runners finished their preparations with spells and drugs and spirits, they stepped out onto the field with a dramatic announcement. Then, the other team made their appearance. 'Hail to the King.' Roaring forward was a pale, albino minotaur, hopped up on k-10. Behind them, a lanky mage and a pair of orcish twins wielding assault rifles. The fight had begun. Rhicter began by dropping the mage instantly with her Ares Alpha. Lethally. Very lethally. The minotaur and the 2 twins roared forward at breakneck pace, engaging in a brawl with Winter's spirit and Alfonso, while Rhicter ducked behind cover and Fletchette tossed hatchet after hatchet into the fray. Suddenly, the crack of a sniper. The hidden sniper had made an appearance, sinking a round into Rhicter's armor. As a Kami addled Newt charged forward, she was shot in the stomach by one of the twins, nearly dropping her. She persevered, taking cover and dropping one of the twins. Winter dropped a blizzard and Fletchette finally managed to drop the King Beef impersonator with a handaxe as Wasp slid him across one of Winter's ice slick's into the twins. After just 3 seconds, the entire enemy team was dead and unconcious, except for the hidden snipers.

Recalling their deal with Anderson Silvers to kill the entire enemy team, Rhicter put a gun to the head of the unconscious minotaur and shouted for the sniper to come out or she'd shoot her helpless friend. After a moment, there was the sound of a rifle thudding to the ground as the Dwarven sniper re-appeared with her hands up. Surrendering. Out of the fight.

Rhichter turned to her and fired 10 rounds at her skull.

In that millisecond, Wasp realized that killing someone who had clearly surrendered, even if it went against the J and his teammates, was not something he wanted to do. He shoved the dwarf out of the way. Winter, who came to a similar realization, dropped a mist spell, letting the dwarf escape.
==Aftermath==

As the team stood there, at odds with one another, Newt finished off the unconscious opfor with her revolver, grabbed the ball and scored. The ball promptly exploded into fireworks, nearly setting her on fire. With a stunned silence falling over the field and both J's dis-satisfied, the runners went their separate ways
==Rewards==
22,000 Nuyen from both payments of Brodie J and Anderson Silvers (11 RVP)

6 CDP (2 RVP)

1 Point of Notoriety

FOR WINTER Up to 44,000 nuyen in car (11 RVP)

===[[Wasp]]===
"It looked like it'd be fun to get paid for actual athletics and good hearted combat, until they started trying to ice us and then my team mates decided it was time to go full Murder Death Kill bot on the opponents. But we got paid, even if I feel like any real sporting match is likely to look at us with suspicion now."

=Character Information=

===Summary===

A former DocWagon Paramedic, Edward “Hounddog” Forrest is a street shaman of you guessed it, Dog, and a rather strange fellow. Known for his skills and technically on 'leave' from DocWagon so he can brush up on his hand to hand combat skills and gunplay, he's reasonably sure that that's just a bunch of red tape to get him out without giving him the proper retirement pay or stipend.

===Goals===

-Make Money and a Comfortable Living

-Make a name for himself as a runner.

-Meet the real actual Elvis. If Dragons and Elves can exist, Elvis can be not dead.

-Help tend the needy where he can, with the skills he's naturally got.

-Learn Karate and Judo, because Elvis reportedly knew them.

==Background==

Edward 'Eddie' Forrest was born on March 5th, 2054 to Margret and Daniel Forrest, in Yesterday Springs, Texas, CAS; but you'd think from the way he acted and the way his community existed, it was closer to him having born on March 5th, 1954.

You see, Yesterday Springs, and its surrounding countryside, were owned and operated by the Forrest-Springs Corporation. Part planned community, part 'renaissance style' theme park but set in the mid-century USA, and part tourist trap, it had existed nearly fifty years by the time he had been born, and despite it's facade it even had a modern hospital when he was born.

Yesterday Springs was a major destination, and popular with those around Lubbock, Texas, CAS, but with tourists checking it out from all over the world, and it made more than enough profits from its operation that inevitably, ARES Corporation,with its love for 'classic Americana' and its branding, bought up the Forrest-Springs Corp and a bit more of the surrounding land. It kept the management, but folded it into the Ares Corp and things went from a bit of voluntary fun, theme park rides, and classic music, and films to a bit stricter adherence of things and keeping 'Kayfabe' if one was an actor or non-executive worker for the Park itself.

It was in this environment, stuck pretending to be in the 1950s and early 1960s style America, that Eddie grew up, insulated from some of the stupider policies intended to keep the kayfabe, but none the less finding that when he visited Lubbock with his parents he was made fun of, with the favorite insult being lobbed by the kids of Lubbock to him – Chrononaut, implying he was some time lost person from the past.

So to say that he was lonely as a child was no surprise. Outsider children, even others whom were the children of Ares Corp's general employees, thought him weird for liking this 'old timey music', and not having heard the real stuff. Hadn't he even heard of Trog Rock? The kids of the performers for the park meanwhile treated him like he thought he was better than them.

It was after being hurled by a troll teenager across one of the courtyards in the park after having asked,

“What's a Trog?” that he first heard the howl of Dog. As he felt the urge to cry from the pain and the shame of being thrown like that, as well as the group the Troll was with calling him a little bigot, he heard it being played over one of the park's many intercoms which despite being perfectly modern were overhauled to look like radios from the era.

It was a song, he had heard many times before, Elvis Presley's 'Hound Dog', and yet it sounded from a voice that sounded like a dog's howl and the voice of Elvis at the same time.

Time moved on, and he became more confident in who he was. He studied with the local hospital and he studied the paths that Dog guided him on, and inevitably found himself signing up to work for Docwagon after he was given the choice to do that or do like his parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents, living in a past they'd never truly have back.

In the seven years he worked for Docwagon, he became very skilled in his work as a paramedic, but after an incident where he lost focus and ended up getting one of his co-workers, the Captain's of the squad's lover in fact, killed? He found himself on limited hours, then none at all – with the claim that he needed to brush up on his skills.

Despite having a trust fund guided monthly stipend that pays for his apartment, it's become abundantly clear he isn't going to win this fight to get his hours back, and if he wants to be able to do more than just barely trudge on by, he's going to have to dip his head into Shadowrunning once again, though this time as a full time gig.

==Narrative Significant Qualities==

===Positive===

'''Bilingual and Linguist -''' Edward was raised to be bilingual from an early age, and spent his first 18 years living in and around a theme park which had a large smattering of people. By natural coincidence or luck, he picked up bits of many languages and learned that he could pick up more if he simply focused on it.

'''Trust Fund -''' His parents are still alive, and have a significant nest egg from the family corporation being bought out by Ares when he was young. As such, he doesn't really have to worry about money so long as he doesn't somehow alienate his parents.

'''Mentor Spirit (Dog) -''' He is a follower of dog. Loyal and true. He can't say that he's necessarily gotten help where he needed it from his mentor, but he none the less appreciates the help and occasional companionship that Dog has provided him through his life.

===Negative===

'''Distinctive Style -''' With leather jackets, slicked back greased up pompadour hair styles, and clothes that look like they're out of historical trideos of the 1950s, Hounddog sticks out like a sour thumb.

'''SINner (Ares Corporate) -''' He certainly won't reveal it if he can, because he's not got an immense amount of loyalty to the corp, but he is technically a citizen of Ares Macrotechnologies.

“What's a Trog?” that he first heard the howl of Dog. As he felt the urge to cry from the pain and the shame of being thrown like that, as well as the group the Troll was with calling him a little bigot, he heard it being played over one of the park's many intercoms which despite being perfectly modern were overhauled to look like radios from the era.

It was a song, he had heard many times before, Elvis Presley's 'Hound Dog', and yet it sounded from a voice that sounded like a dog's howl and the voice of Elvis at the same time.

Time moved on, and he became more confident in who he was. He studied with the local hospital and he studied the paths that Dog guided him on, and inevitably found himself signing up to work for Docwagon after he was given the choice to do that or do like his parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents, living in a past they'd never truly have back.

In the seven years he worked for Docwagon, he became very skilled in his work as a paramedic, but after an incident where he lost focus and ended up getting one of his co-workers, the Captain's of the squad's lover in fact, killed? He found himself on limited hours, then none at all – with the claim that he needed to brush up on his skills.

Despite having a trust fund guided monthly stipend that pays for his apartment, it's become abundantly clear he isn't going to win this fight to get his hours back, and if he wants to be able to do more than just barely trudge on by, he's going to have to dip his head into Shadowrunning once again, though this time as a full time gig.

==Narrative Significant Qualities==

===Positive===

'''Bilingual and Linguist -''' Edward was raised to be bilingual from an early age, and spent his first 18 years living in and around a theme park which had a large smattering of people. By natural coincidence or luck, he picked up bits of many languages and learned that he could pick up more if he simply focused on it.

'''Trust Fund -''' His parents are still alive, and have a significant nest egg from the family corporation being bought out by Ares when he was young. As such, he doesn't really have to worry about money so long as he doesn't somehow alienate his parents.

'''Mentor Spirit (Dog) -''' He is a follower of dog. Loyal and true. He can't say that he's necessarily gotten help where he needed it from his mentor, but he none the less appreciates the help and occasional companionship that Dog has provided him through his life.

===Negative===

'''Distinctive Style -''' With leather jackets, slicked back greased up pompadour hair styles, and clothes that look like they're out of historical trideos of the 1950s, Hounddog sticks out like a sour thumb.

'''SINner (Ares Corporate) -''' He certainly won't reveal it if he can, because he's not got an immense amount of loyalty to the corp, but he is technically a citizen of Ares Macrotechnologies.

=Character Information=

===Summary===

A former DocWagon Paramedic, Edward “Hounddog” Forrest is a street shaman of you guessed it, Dog, and a rather strange fellow. Known for his skills and technically on 'leave' from DocWagon so he can brush up on his hand to hand combat skills and gunplay, he's reasonably sure that that's just a bunch of red tape to get him out without giving him the proper retirement pay or stipend.

===Goals===

-Make Money and a Comfortable Living

-Make a name for himself as a runner.

-Meet the real actual Elvis. If Dragons and Elves can exist, Elvis can be not dead.

-Help tend the needy where he can, with the skills he's naturally got.

-Learn Karate and Judo, because Elvis reportedly knew them.

==Background==

Edward 'Eddie' Forrest was born on March 5th, 2054 to Margret and Daniel Forrest, in Yesterday Springs, Texas, CAS; but you'd think from the way he acted and the way his community existed, it was closer to him having born on March 5th, 1954.

You see, Yesterday Springs, and its surrounding countryside, were owned and operated by the Forrest-Springs Corporation. Part planned community, part 'renaissance style' theme park but set in the mid-century USA, and part tourist trap, it had existed nearly fifty years by the time he had been born, and despite it's facade it even had a modern hospital when he was born.

Yesterday Springs was a major destination, and popular with those around Lubbock, Texas, CAS, but with tourists checking it out from all over the world, and it made more than enough profits from its operation that inevitably, ARES Corporation,with its love for 'classic Americana' and its branding, bought up the Forrest-Springs Corp and a bit more of the surrounding land. It kept the management, but folded it into the Ares Corp and things went from a bit of voluntary fun, theme park rides, and classic music, and films to a bit stricter adherence of things and keeping 'Kayfabe' if one was an actor or non-executive worker for the Park itself.

It was in this environment, stuck pretending to be in the 1950s and early 1960s style America, that Eddie grew up, insulated from some of the stupider policies intended to keep the kayfabe, but none the less finding that when he visited Lubbock with his parents he was made fun of, with the favorite insult being lobbed by the kids of Lubbock to him – Chrononaut, implying he was some time lost person from the past.

So to say that he was lonely as a child was no surprise. Outsider children, even others whom were the children of Ares Corp's general employees, thought him weird for liking this 'old timey music', and not having heard the real stuff. Hadn't he even heard of Trog Rock? The kids of the performers for the park meanwhile treated him like he thought he was better than them.

It was after being hurled by a troll teenager across one of the courtyards in the park after having asked,

“What's a Trog?” that he first heard the howl of Dog. As he felt the urge to cry from the pain and the shame of being thrown like that, as well as the group the Troll was with calling him a little bigot, he heard it being played over one of the park's many intercoms which despite being perfectly modern were overhauled to look like radios from the era.

It was a song, he had heard many times before, Elvis Presley's 'Hound Dog', and yet it sounded from a voice that sounded like a dog's howl and the voice of Elvis at the same time.

Time moved on, and he became more confident in who he was. He studied with the local hospital and he studied the paths that Dog guided him on, and inevitably found himself signing up to work for Docwagon after he was given the choice to do that or do like his parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents, living in a past they'd never truly have back.

=Character Information=

===Summary===

A human raised by his ork distant relatives in Oakland who learned to fight and embraced much of their own culture, and raised by his great-uncle to be a boxer. He might have done so too, going semi-pro and being told by a gang to throw the match only to have someone bet on him for him, and then fight his hardest. Winning the match, he was beaten by the gang after wards and might have ended up dying outside the stadium had the man who ended up being his teacher as a martial adept, not shown up and intervened. Where did the winnings go? His whole plan from the beginning was to use it to pay for his younger cousin's university, and specifically to get her to a city 'safer' than San Fran for a while.

===Goals===

-Make Money and a Comfortable Living

-Make a name for himself as a runner.

-Make enough money to help his extended family back in Oakland.

-Find out what happened to his actual parents.

-Master the arts of an adept.

==Background==

What does it mean to be family? Do you have to look like the people you call family? Talk like them? Even be closely related to them? These were the questions which Alfonso MacGuiness was forced to face from the tender age of eleven years old, when his third cousin Enrique, a venerable old orc who had been in the Dallas-Fort Worth sprawl which Alfonso had lived in at that age was someone he met at his Abuelita's funeral.

When Enrique introduced himself as his third cousin, Abuelita's nephew, Alfonso didn't know what to make it, but mama and papa hugged Enrique and treated him the way family was supposed to by tradition. It was over the next few days that mama and papa talked to cousin Enrique again while they visited with him still in town, and before Alfonso knew what was happening he had his meager bags packed and he was set to drive back with cousin Enrique, who given tradition he was already calling Tio by then.

Why? The memory was still kind of foggy, and he only occasionally got to talk to his parents afterwards, but to put it simply? Abuelita wasn't dead of old age. She had died because someone fired a high explosive round on the house when Alfonso had been at school and his parents were out on business. It wasn't some accident, but rather Abuelita had been targeted to get at his parents.

So Alfonso McGuiness found himself in San Fran, and not just in San Fran, in Oakland. Where he thought his relatives and family were small, he soon found dozens and dozens of relatives, and more who found him and tried to make him feel at home. His family never treated him different from the rest, despite the fact he was a human and all the rest of his proverbial clan were orks.

But see, while Oakland had plenty of humans in it and all, and despite his family being connected to the city for nearly a century now, Alfonso was targeted by local troll and ork toughs trying to make themselves feel better. If they could catch him alone or with his little cousins, they'd harass him, call him names, even try to claim he was some sort of poser trying to steal their cultural identity. Time and time again, they'd call him things – especially the highly assumptive and wrong, WASP, and the normal sort of derogative terms that came about, they'd steal whatever small amount of nuyen he had on hand – literally just go out of their way to make his life worse. Bigger than him despite being the same age, they thought it'd continue for a while.

But Alfonso was a fighter even then. He didn't want to have to tell why the nuyen he had been given was gone, or have to explain why his little cousin never got that freeze pop because the local wanna be ganger bullies harassed them.

So he swung, and he swung hard. Hard enough to break the well kept tusk of the gang of bullies, and he survived the beating that group gave him after. He thought it'd be the end of it, and indeed had sworn his younger cousins off of telling about his fight, but the older orks in the neighborhood had seen what happened, seen how he acted, and soon his Tio Enrique introduced him to a big african american orc who almost looked like a troll. Enrique and this man, who's name was Reginald Waters, were old friends and Reginald had heard on the grape vine about what had happened.

He told Alfonso he wanted to train him to be a boxer, and if it just ended up teaching him to defend himself in the neighborhood, so be it – but Reginald saw potential in the boy, and he knew potential, he'd won and coached several semi-pro and pro boxing matches of his own in his day.

The years rolled on, with Alfonso spending his time helping at the family's Tiendita, getting what public eduction was available, and when he wasn't doing either of those things, training to fight. As he grew and his reputation grew, as the neighborhood came out to see his matches, he'd hear time and time again both from his relatives the Ortiz family and from neighbors in general. “That's our boy!” “Go Alfonso” and more. In English, Spanish, and Or'zet he heard those words again and again, and he made the neighborhood proud. Proud enough even some of the Bloody Tusks gave him a nod, or bought him a drink, or a pat him on the back.

So he fought on, and by the time he was 20 he was moving up the ranks and even getting scouted to have an almost professional match up in Seattle. One he was proud to be apart of, until he heard the words from on high. The gang known as the Ancients owned the venue the match was on, and they were in charge in part of broadcasting the match? They had brought him up to lose. They were going to hype him up, dragging people in, especially with the story about how he was a human who fought like an Orc, and then he was to throw the match against the Elven boxer they had him against, and let them collect those vast profits. They'd give him a stipend for his travel, and a cut for throwing the match.

Problem was, Alfonso loved fighting but even he knew that Boxing was going to end up getting him ended sooner rather than later, and he still felt the need to protect his extended family. His little cousin Maria? She had passed tests with such high scores, and such high a magic affinity, that even MIT&T was offering her a full ride scholarship. So Alfonso had told Reginald to take all that money from winnings he had kept in a saving account for Alfonso, and to bet it all that Alfonso'd win, take the winnings and give it to the Ortiz family, but half went to Maria, to make sure she was safe and secure even so far from the family.

Alfonso fought the match of his life that night, and he did what he set out to do. He won, despite all odds and being told not to. He even got it out to the parking lot before the gang jumped him and proceeded to beat him, almost killing him.

But before the Ancients could kill him an very old looking Oni metatype Ork showed up and proceeded to beat the whole gang up without even a weapon. Snatching up the bruised and bloodied Alfonso, he spirited him out of there and inevitably became his martial arts teacher as Alfonso waited for the heat to die down, and this fellow, who called himself Ketsuryū Nakajima.

In that time, Ketsuryū explained that he had seen the fight, and believed Alfonso had greater fighting potential than he knew. And after Alfonso had been healed up in his care, Ketsuryū took him in as his student. Nearly four years later, and Ketsuryū feels he has passed the way of the adept on to Alfonso, and sent him to return home.

==Narrative Significant Qualities==

===Positive===

'''Bilingual and Linguist -''' Alfonso has been around multiple languages from the earliest time in his life, and because of this – and his parents both speaking English and Spanish and making sure he could too – he slowly began to pick up smatterings of other languages too, with an ear and hunch for picking up what folks were saying.

'''Toughness and Quick Healer -''' Growing up in Oakland, Alfonso got in plenty of fights with Bloody Tusk wannabes when he was younger, and plenty more fights after his talent for boxing was shown. From it all he's become very willing to fight on longer than others might, and heals better than others might, too.

===Negative===

'''Bi-Polar -''' It might be something he's always had to deal with, it might be an issue that arose after he'd been boxing too long, but for whatever reason, Alfonso's got a chemical imbalance that requires him to take meds to stay stable between manic or depressive sides.

'''Coconut Allergy (Mild, Uncommon)-''' No, he doesn't care how much you swear by that triple frape soy boba tea with coconut milk. He is allergic to Coconuts and all products made with it.

'''Prejudice (Elves)-''' Despite not being born originally in CalFree, Alfonso spent his formative years there, and on top of that spent around his Ork extended family. Few actually promoted hate on the elves, but he could still see how much better the average Elf lived compared to the other Metahumans; and he may have read a bit too much Or'zet Fantasy tales written to counter the classical Lord of the Rings style Fantasy. Especially Broken Tusk the Brave. So he has a bias against Elves.

'''No Man Left Behind-''' Something he learned instinctively as a youth in Oakland was you never leave your chummer, or even someone working with you, behind. You look out for them and try to do what you can do to help them.

But Alfonso was a fighter even then. He didn't want to have to tell why the nuyen he had been given was gone, or have to explain why his little cousin never got that freeze pop because the local wanna be ganger bullies harassed them.

So he swung, and he swung hard. Hard enough to break the well kept tusk of the gang of bullies, and he survived the beating that group gave him after. He thought it'd be the end of it, and indeed had sworn his younger cousins off of telling about his fight, but the older orks in the neighborhood had seen what happened, seen how he acted, and soon his Tio Enrique introduced him to a big african american orc who almost looked like a troll. Enrique and this man, who's name was Reginald Waters, were old friends and Reginald had heard on the grape vine about what had happened.

He told Alfonso he wanted to train him to be a boxer, and if it just ended up teaching him to defend himself in the neighborhood, so be it – but Reginald saw potential in the boy, and he knew potential, he'd won and coached several semi-pro and pro boxing matches of his own in his day.

The years rolled on, with Alfonso spending his time helping at the family's Tiendita, getting what public eduction was available, and when he wasn't doing either of those things, training to fight. As he grew and his reputation grew, as the neighborhood came out to see his matches, he'd hear time and time again both from his relatives the Ortiz family and from neighbors in general. “That's our boy!” “Go Alfonso” and more. In English, Spanish, and Or'zet he heard those words again and again, and he made the neighborhood proud. Proud enough even some of the Bloody Tusks gave him a nod, or bought him a drink, or a pat him on the back.

So he fought on, and by the time he was 20 he was moving up the ranks and even getting scouted to have an almost professional match up in Seattle. One he was proud to be apart of, until he heard the words from on high. The gang known as the Ancients owned the venue the match was on, and they were in charge in part of broadcasting the match? They had brought him up to lose. They were going to hype him up, dragging people in, especially with the story about how he was a human who fought like an Orc, and then he was to throw the match against the Elven boxer they had him against, and let them collect those vast profits. They'd give him a stipend for his travel, and a cut for throwing the match.

Problem was, Alfonso loved fighting but even he knew that Boxing was going to end up getting him ended sooner rather than later, and he still felt the need to protect his extended family. His little cousin Maria? She had passed tests with such high scores, and such high a magic affinity, that even MIT&T was offering her a full ride scholarship. So Alfonso had told Reginald to take all that money from winnings he had kept in a saving account for Alfonso, and to bet it all that Alfonso'd win, take the winnings and give it to the Ortiz family, but half went to Maria, to make sure she was safe and secure even so far from the family.

Alfonso fought the match of his life that night, and he did what he set out to do. He won, despite all odds and being told not to. He even got it out to the parking lot before the gang jumped him and proceeded to beat him, almost killing him.

But before the Ancients could kill him an very old looking Oni metatype Ork showed up and proceeded to beat the whole gang up without even a weapon. Snatching up the bruised and bloodied Alfonso, he spirited him out of there and inevitably became his martial arts teacher as Alfonso waited for the heat to die down, and this fellow, who called himself Ketsuryū Nakajima.

In that time, Ketsuryū explained that he had seen the fight, and believed Alfonso had greater fighting potential than he knew. And after Alfonso had been healed up in his care, Ketsuryū took him in as his student. Nearly four years later, and Ketsuryū feels he has passed the way of the adept on to Alfonso, and sent him to return home.

==Narrative Significant Qualities==

===Positive===

'''Bilingual and Linguist -''' Alfonso has been around multiple languages from the earliest time in his life, and because of this – and his parents both speaking English and Spanish and making sure he could too – he slowly began to pick up smatterings of other languages too, with an ear and hunch for picking up what folks were saying.

'''Toughness and Quick Healer -''' Growing up in Oakland, Alfonso got in plenty of fights with Bloody Tusk wannabes when he was younger, and plenty more fights after his talent for boxing was shown. From it all he's become very willing to fight on longer than others might, and heals better than others might, too.

===Negative===

'''Bi-Polar -''' It might be something he's always had to deal with, it might be an issue that arose after he'd been boxing too long, but for whatever reason, Alfonso's got a chemical imbalance that requires him to take meds to stay stable between manic or depressive sides.

'''Coconut Allergy (Mild, Uncommon)-''' No, he doesn't care how much you swear by that triple frape soy boba tea with coconut milk. He is allergic to Coconuts and all products made with it.

'''Prejudice (Elves)-''' Despite not being born originally in CalFree, Alfonso spent his formative years there, and on top of that spent around his Ork extended family. Few actually promoted hate on the elves, but he could still see how much better the average Elf lived compared to the other Metahumans; and he may have read a bit too much Or'zet Fantasy tales written to counter the classical Lord of the Rings style Fantasy. Especially Broken Tusk the Brave. So he has a bias against Elves.

'''No Man Left Behind-''' Something he learned instinctively as a youth in Oakland was you never leave your chummer, or even someone working with you, behind. You look out for them and try to do what you can do to help them.

Warr:

Player of [[Alfonso MacGuinness]] and fledgling GM who comes up very often with Zany runs.

'''Tone:''' While there will be some realism, I lean more towards a Pink Mohawk style than a Black Trench Coat style or the others.

'''Narrative Tone vs Crunch:''' I try to provide an equal amount, but you could say 60/40 to 70/30 in percentage leaning towards Narrative Tone vs Crunch.

'''Pick Policy:''' N/A. I’ve not come up with one, but given that I’m a new GM and the suggestions of the GM rules, I am likely to show some favoritism towards picking established players just because it helps me master the system a bit more.

'''Declining the Job:''' I tend to prefer players who wouldn’t be likely to, both because I’m not sure I could GM a run where I don’t have at least some notes and because I also feel that In character, you wouldn’t have been pinged by your Fixer and definitely wouldn’t have wasted your time with the Fixer saying you’ll meet about the job, if you didn’t have intention to.

Might be null sweat that you turned down the job and the Nuyen, but your fixer’s reputation and their own cut definitely matters to your fixer(s).

'''Thinking outside of the box/derailing:''' So long as you’re aware it will take me a moment to decide the results of your chosen hiking path, I’m generally fine with this to a point.

'''Humor:''' I try to inject it where I can.

==Summary==
Where the incipient heroes are hired to collect radical reagents to allow a back alley clinic to create orichalcum to fund their patients needs.

==Background==
Sophocles has seem some pretty rough times, especially under the 'gentle' leadership of the once powerful and creepy spirit known as Pump King Jack. Now that Jack is gone, a power vacuum has taken his place, and Dr. Ezekyle Burton cannot afford the daily upkeep of his therapy clinic, and the needs of the residents are far from complete. Dr. Burton has reached out to the Haven in the hopes that someone will come to his aid, and save the clinic, at least from this first most pressing problem.

==The Meet==
The runners are instructed to meet the good doctor at his clinic in Sophocles, located in the Redmond Barrens only a few miles from Glow City. Once arrived, they are shown to a waiting room where shortly after they are met by Doctor Burton himself; a ghoul psychiatrist who is also bound to a wheelchair thanks to faulty cyber legs. Dr. Burton warmly greets the crew, but declines to shake Bland's proffered hand, stating that his current state is to dangerous to allow physical contact. He then explains the troubles within Sophocles, and the dire need for funding the clinic to continue his good work. He explains that he and his co-worker have a plan; namely the collection of radical reagents so that his partner can refine them and use them to create the rarest of substances; orichalcum. He offers a great deal of information as to the potential whereabouts of the required gold, copper, and cinnabar needed for the process. Gold and copper can be found in various electronic parts; if collected in sufficient quantity, it should be enough to cover their needs. Cinnabar is a more rare commodity, but fortunately there is a shipment of cinnabar vases being brought into Downtown Seattle that should easily provide what is needed. Once the agents are refined and the orichalcum created, they doctor will be able to split the value with the runners, offering them 14,000 nuyen as payment for their efforts. Realizing that this is a good cause, the team readily agrees to help the Doctor, and set off to plan their attack.

==The Shop Plan==
After a bit of simple searching, the team discovers that there is a second hand electronic parts shop in Sohonomish that could provide a suitable target for the gold and copper needs. Swerve does a bit of Astral scouting, and discovers numerous watcher spirits in attendance of the strip mall where the shop is located. That shop itself is usually guarded by four security personnel, one of which is almost certain to be awakened. Deciding that stealth is the best approach, the team plans a sneaky entrance. However, the team requires a vehicle to transport the stolen goods; fortunately Alfonso "Wasp" MacGuinness has a cousin with just the van for the job. After a bit of negotiating, the van is acquired, and the heist is on.

==The Shop Run==
Approaching in the van, Bland pulls over about 100 meters from the strip mall, allowing Vic, Scarecrow, and Wasp to stealthily approach the shop's side entrance. Pulling out his B&E tools, Scarecrow makes short work of the doors maglock, providing access to the shop's overflow area. Swerve maintains astral sight to keep an eye on the ever watchful watcher spirits, and Bland quietly whispers advice to the breaching team. Feeling a strange watery feeling pass over them, the breach team suspects that their presence has not gone unnoticed, as they move to enter the shop's common area. They are right of course, as they are swiftly met with the entrenched security team, just waiting for the opportunity to open fire. Moving like the wind, (thanks to the channeled air spirit within) Scarecrow quickly deals a thunderous blow to the shotgun security guard, dropping him into unconsciousness. Not to be ignored, the Shop Mage takes his own swing at Scarecrow, narrowly missing; it seems that he to is channeling a formidable spirit, and looking for payback for his fallen colleague. Another shop security guard steps out from a backroom, and immediately starts laying down suppressing fire, pinning the breach team in place. Wasp bravely tries to move to take him out, but is only rewarded with several bullets slamming into him from the suppressive fire. Vic, under a cloak of RPC with silent bullets, calmly knee caps the suppressor, dropping him to the ground in agony. Bland whispers solid tactical advice to the team through the DNI link, while Swerve notices a fire spirit appear in the astral outside the strip mall, obviously responding to some sort of alarm. The fire fight continues inside, with Scarecrow and the Mage trading blows and Energy Aura's, much to the dismay of Scarecrow. The team finally rallies, putting down the remaining Security with a strong mixture of Scarecrow's punches, Wasp's ability to absorb bullets, and Vic's uncanny accuracy as she puts bullet after bullet into the other assault security's kneecap, and both of the security mage's eyes. The fire spirit is made short work of, and the team quickly ransacks the building, stealing everything that is not nailed in place.

==The Cargo Plan==
Now that the first half of the job is over, the team rests for a day and concocts a plan to hit the cargo shipment coming in later the following evening. Bland plots an area of highway that runs through a C level security district; perfect for their needs, with a convenient place for an ambush. Swerve decides that she can summon a water spirit to engulf the driver of the vehicle, disabling him and forcing the vehicle off the road. In the meantime, Vic will be hovering 1500 meters above the ambush site in her personal zeppelin, providing the truest form of over watch ever known. The remainder of the team will be nearby to deal with any escort security, once the vehicle is disabled. Once the vehicle and security forces are fully disabled, the vases can be loaded into the van and the mission complete.

==The Cargo Run==
Swerve heads out on the astral to try and spot the approaching cargo van loaded with the cinnabar vases. She finds it, but also finds a spirit in attendance, providing it's own form of over watch by riding on the roof of the van. Returning to her body, Swerve alerts the team of the vehicles approach. Drugs are used, spirits are channeled and summoned, as the team lies in wait for the approaching convoy. Swerve commands her water spirit to engulf the driver of the van, and it moves to comply. Unfortunately the escort spirit attempts to stop the well meaning water spirit, but to no avail, as the water spirit easily avoids all of it attacks, while simultaneously engulfing not one, but two individuals within the van. The escort spirit tries gamely to control the vehicle itself but fails. The van crashes into the median, and the ambush is on.

The security escort pulls up and steps out, ready to engage. Scarecrow is far more ready however, and while dodging the oncoming traffic moves up and punches the first guard with a magic infused fist, dropping him instantly. Bland, not to be excluded when Horizon is involved steps up, takes aim, and fire his massively modded Cavalier Champion, which easily drops another with it's hand-loaded gel round. Wasp leaps across the distance, dancing past speeding cars to take a swing at the third and final guard, but misses. Swerve, not to be out done, locks eyes with the final guard and freezes him in place with a whisper of magic. Vic takes her shot from far above, dropping the final guard with yet another perfectly placed called shot. Dragging the unconscious guards out of the center of the highway, the team quickly unloads the shattered vases into their vehicle. Bland pulls the vehicle away, and after a circuitous route manages to arrive safely in Sophocles outside the clinic.

==Aftermath==
After 28 days of alchemical shenanigans, the orichalcum is finally produced and sold. The team gets their cut, and the thanks as well as admiration of the good doctor.

==Rewards==
14k Nuyen (7 RVP)

16 Electronic Parts (1 RVP)

Ezekyle Burton (Connection 2) at Loyalty 3 (4 RVP)

4 Karma (4 RVP)

2 CDP

Swerve: +1 PA as Horizon figured out you stole gold, copper, and cinnabar after your aura was assensed at two jobs against them in such a short timespan.

==Game Quotes==

{{Gamequote|Vic: "I want to shoot him gently, in the sternum."}}

==Player After Action Reports (AARs)==
===[[Bland]]===
"It feels good to do good for the local community; it feels better to be paid for it as well. I really hope thing work out for Dr. Burton and his Clinic, those people could really use the help. The team this time was especially effective, and I am proud to have met and worked with them all. I do hope to one day work for them again. But, you can never really tell what's going to happen in these shadows of ours."

===[[Wasp]]===
"I'm glad to help out the local community, especially those who need help with mental illnesses. It all turned out pretty well, we got paid, and I found out from one of my teammates on the run that apparently, shooting a person in the kneecaps is good for more than just the intimidation they do it for in the trids."

=Character Information=

===Summary===

A former DocWagon Paramedic, Edward “Hounddog” Forrest is a street shaman of you guessed it, Dog, and a rather strange fellow. Known for his skills and technically on 'leave' from DocWagon so he can brush up on his hand to hand combat skills and gunplay, he's reasonably sure that that's just a bunch of red tape to get him out without giving him the proper retirement pay or stipend.

===Goals===

-Make Money and a Comfortable Living

-Make a name for himself as a runner.

-Meet the real actual Elvis. If Dragons and Elves can exist, Elvis can be not dead.

-Help tend the needy where he can, with the skills he's naturally got.

-Learn Karate and Judo, because Elvis reportedly knew them.

==Background==

Edward 'Eddie' Forrest was born on March 5th, 2054 to Margret and Daniel Forrest, in Yesterday Springs, Texas, CAS; but you'd think from the way he acted and the way his community existed, it was closer to him having born on March 5th, 1954.

You see, Yesterday Springs, and its surrounding countryside, were owned and operated by the Forrest-Springs Corporation. Part planned community, part 'renaissance style' theme park but set in the mid-century USA, and part tourist trap, it had existed nearly fifty years by the time he had been born, and despite it's facade it even had a modern hospital when he was born.

Yesterday Springs was a major destination, and popular with those around Lubbock, Texas, CAS, but with tourists checking it out from all over the world, and it made more than enough profits from its operation that inevitably, ARES Corporation,with its love for 'classic Americana' and its branding, bought up the Forrest-Springs Corp and a bit more of the surrounding land. It kept the management, but folded it into the Ares Corp and things went from a bit of voluntary fun, theme park rides, and classic music, and films to a bit stricter adherence of things and keeping 'Kayfabe' if one was an actor or non-executive worker for the Park itself.

It was in this environment, stuck pretending to be in the 1950s and early 1960s style America, that Eddie grew up, insulated from some of the stupider policies intended to keep the kayfabe, but none the less finding that when he visited Lubbock with his parents he was made fun of, with the favorite insult being lobbed by the kids of Lubbock to him – Chrononaut, implying he was some time lost person from the past.

So to say that he was lonely as a child was no surprise. Outsider children, even others whom were the children of Ares Corp's general employees, thought him weird for liking this 'old timey music', and not having heard the real stuff. Hadn't he even heard of Trog Rock? The kids of the performers for the park meanwhile treated him like he thought he was better than them.

It was after being hurled by a troll teenager across one of the courtyards in the park after having asked,

“What's a Trog?” that he first heard the howl of Dog. As he felt the urge to cry from the pain and the shame of being thrown like that, as well as the group the Troll was with calling him a little bigot, he heard it being played over one of the park's many intercoms which despite being perfectly modern were overhauled to look like radios from the era.

It was a song, he had heard many times before, Elvis Presley's 'Hound Dog', and yet it sounded from a voice that sounded like a dog's howl and the voice of Elvis at the same time.

Time moved on, and he became more confident in who he was. He studied with the local hospital and he studied the paths that Dog guided him on, and inevitably found himself signing up to work for Docwagon after he was given the choice to do that or do like his parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents, living in a past they'd never truly have back.

In the seven years he worked for Docwagon, he became very skilled in his work as a paramedic, but after an incident where he lost focus and ended up getting one of his co-workers, the Captain's of the squad's lover in fact, killed? He found himself on limited hours, then none at all – with the claim that he needed to brush up on his skills.

Despite having a trust fund guided monthly stipend that pays for his apartment, it's become abundantly clear he isn't going to win this fight to get his hours back, and if he wants to be able to do more than just barely trudge on by, he's going to have to dip his head into Shadowrunning.

==Narrative Significant Qualities==

===Positive===

'''Bilingual and Linguist -''' Edward was raised to be bilingual from an early age, and spent his first 18 years living in and around a theme park which had a large smattering of people. By natural coincidence or luck, he picked up bits of many languages and learned that he could pick up more if he simply focused on it.

'''Trust Fund -''' His parents are still alive, and have a significant nest egg from the family corporation being bought out by Ares when he was young. As such, he doesn't really have to worry about money so long as he doesn't somehow alienate his parents.

'''Mentor Spirit (Dog) -''' He is a follower of dog. Loyal and true. He can't say that he's necessarily gotten help where he needed it from his mentor, but he none the less appreciates the help and occasional companionship that Dog has provided him through his life.

===Negative===

'''Distinctive Style -''' With leather jackets, slicked back greased up pompadour hair styles, and clothes that look like they're out of historical trideos of the 1950s, Hounddog sticks out like a sour thumb.

'''SINner (Ares Corporate) -''' He certainly won't reveal it if he can, because he's not got an immense amount of loyalty to the corp, but he is technically a citizen of Ares Macrotechnologies.

=Character Information=

===Summary===

A human raised by his ork distant relatives in Oakland who learned to fight and embraced much of their own culture, and raised by his great-uncle to be a boxer. He might have done so too, going semi-pro and being told by a gang to throw the match only to have someone bet on him for him, and then fight his hardest. Winning the match, he was beaten by the gang after wards and might have ended up dying outside the stadium had the man who ended up being his teacher as a martial adept, not shown up and intervened. Where did the winnings go? His whole plan from the beginning was to use it to pay for his younger cousin's university, and specifically to get her to a city 'safer' than San Fran for a while.

===Goals===

-Make Money and a Comfortable Living

-Make a name for himself as a runner.

-Make enough money to help his extended family back in Oakland.

-Find out what happened to his actual parents.

-Master the arts of an adept.

==Background==

What does it mean to be family? Do you have to look like the people you call family? Talk like them? Even be closely related to them? These were the questions which Alfonso MacGuiness was forced to face from the tender age of eleven years old, when his third cousin Enrique, a venerable old orc who had been in the Dallas-Fort Worth sprawl which Alfonso had lived in at that age was someone he met at his Abuelita's funeral.

When Enrique introduced himself as his third cousin, Abuelita's nephew, Alfonso didn't know what to make it, but mama and papa hugged Enrique and treated him the way family was supposed to by tradition. It was over the next few days that mama and papa talked to cousin Enrique again while they visited with him still in town, and before Alfonso knew what was happening he had his meager bags packed and he was set to drive back with cousin Enrique, who given tradition he was already calling Tio by then.

Why? The memory was still kind of foggy, and he only occasionally got to talk to his parents afterwards, but to put it simply? Abuelita wasn't dead of old age. She had died because someone fired a high explosive round on the house when Alfonso had been at school and his parents were out on business. It wasn't some accident, but rather Abuelita had been targeted to get at his parents.

So Alfonso McGuiness found himself in San Fran, and not just in San Fran, in Oakland. Where he thought his relatives and family were small, he soon found dozens and dozens of relatives, and more who found him and tried to make him feel at home. His family never treated him different from the rest, despite the fact he was a human and all the rest of his proverbial clan were orks.

But see, while Oakland had plenty of humans in it and all, and despite his family being connected to the city for nearly a century now, Alfonso was targeted by local troll and ork toughs trying to make themselves feel better. If they could catch him alone or with his little cousins, they'd harass him, call him names, even try to claim he was some sort of poser trying to steal their cultural identity. Time and time again, they'd call him things – especially the highly assumptive and wrong, WASP, and the normal sort of derogative terms that came about, they'd steal whatever small amount of nuyen he had on hand – literally just go out of their way to make his life worse. Bigger than him despite being the same age, they thought it'd continue for a while.

But Alfonso was a fighter even then. He didn't want to have to tell why the nuyen he had been given was gone, or have to explain why his little cousin never got that freeze pop because the local wanna be ganger bullies harassed them.

So he swung, and he swung hard. Hard enough to break the well kept tusk of the gang of bullies, and he survived the beating that group gave him after. He thought it'd be the end of it, and indeed had sworn his younger cousins off of telling about his fight, but the older orks in the neighborhood had seen what happened, seen how he acted, and soon his Tio Enrique introduced him to a big african american orc who almost looked like a troll. Enrique and this man, who's name was Reginald Waters, were old friends and Reginald had heard on the grape vine about what had happened.

He told Alfonso he wanted to train him to be a boxer, and if it just ended up teaching him to defend himself in the neighborhood, so be it – but Reginald saw potential in the boy, and he knew potential, he'd won and coached several semi-pro and pro boxing matches of his own in his day.

The years rolled on, with Alfonso spending his time helping at the family's Tiendita, getting what public eduction was available, and when he wasn't doing either of those things, training to fight. As he grew and his reputation grew, as the neighborhood came out to see his matches, he'd hear time and time again both from his relatives the Ortiz family and from neighbors in general. “That's our boy!” “Go Alfonso” and more. In English, Spanish, and Or'zet he heard those words again and again, and he made the neighborhood proud. Proud enough even some of the Bloody Tusks gave him a nod, or bought him a drink, or a pat him on the back.

So he fought on, and by the time he was 20 he was moving up the ranks and even getting scouted to have an almost professional match up in Seattle. One he was proud to be apart of, until he heard the words from on high. The gang known as the Ancients owned the venue the match was on, and they were in charge in part of broadcasting the match? They had brought him up to lose. They were going to hype him up, dragging people in, especially with the story about how he was a human who fought like an Orc, and then he was to throw the match against the Elven boxer they had him against, and let them collect those vast profits. They'd give him a stipend for his travel, and a cut for throwing the match.

Problem was, Alfonso loved fighting but even he knew that Boxing was going to end up getting him ended sooner rather than later, and he still felt the need to protect his extended family. His little cousin Maria? She had passed tests with such high scores, and such high a magic affinity, that even MIT&T was offering her a full ride scholarship. So Alfonso had told Reginald to take all that money from winnings he had kept in a saving account for Alfonso, and to bet it all that Alfonso'd win, take the winnings and give it to the Ortiz family, but half went to Maria, to make sure she was safe and secure even so far from the family.

Alfonso fought the match of his life that night, and he did what he set out to do. He won, despite all odds and being told not to. He even got it out to the parking lot before the gang jumped him and proceeded to beat him, almost killing him.

But before the Ancients could kill him an very old looking Oni metatype Ork showed up and proceeded to beat the whole gang up without even a weapon. Snatching up the bruised and bloodied Alfonso, he spirited him out of there and inevitably became his martial arts teacher as Alfonso waited for the heat to die down, and this fellow, who called himself Ketsuryū Nakajima.

In that time, Ketsuryū explained that he had seen the fight, and believed Alfonso had greater fighting potential than he knew. And after Alfonso had been healed up in his care, Ketsuryū took him in as his student. Nearly four years later, and Ketsuryū feels he has passed the way of the adept on to Alfonso, and sent him to return home.

==Narrative Significant Qualities==

===Positive===

'''Bilingual and Linguist -''' Alfonso has been around multiple languages from the earliest time in his life, and because of this – and his parents both speaking English and Spanish and making sure he could too – he slowly began to pick up smatterings of other languages too, with an ear and hunch for picking up what folks were saying.

'''Toughness and Quick Healer -''' Growing up in Oakland, Alfonso got in plenty of fights with Bloody Tusk wannabes when he was younger, and plenty more fights after his talent for boxing was shown. From it all he's become very willing to fight on longer than others might, and heals better than others might, too.

===Negative===

'''Bi-Polar -''' It might be something he's always had to deal with, it might be an issue that arose after he'd been boxing too long, but for whatever reason, Alfonso's got a chemical imbalance that requires him to take meds to stay stable between manic or depressive sides.

'''Coconut Allergy (Mild, Uncommon)-''' No, he doesn't care how much you swear by that triple frape soy boba tea with coconut milk. He is allergic to Coconuts and all products made with it.

'''Prejudice (Elves)-''' Despite not being born originally in CalFree, Alfonso spent his formative years there, and on top of that spent around his Ork extended family. Few actually promoted hate on the elves, but he could still see how much better the average Elf lived compared to the other Metahumans; and he may have read a bit too much Or'zet Fantasy tales written to counter the classical Lord of the Rings style Fantasy. Especially Broken Tusk the Brave. So he has a bias against Elves.

'''No Man Left Behind-''' Something he learned instinctively as a youth in Oakland was you never leave your chummer, or even someone working with you, behind. You look out for them and try to do what you can do to help them.

==Summary==

What do you when you're outbid at a quasi-legal animal auction and you're looking to donate animals to the local public Zoo, so it isn't put out of business by the fancy private zoo on Outremer? Well, you hire Shadowrunners of course.

In this mission, the runners made their way to the meet, then across the puget sound to Vashon Island, Outremer, scouted out the Vashon Island Private Zoo, and then came back to do a good old fashioned zoo heist. Complications arose, and while they still succeeded, it wasn't a perfect score.

==Background==

The Woodland Park Zoo, that is to say the Public Zoo for all of Seattle, which has existed for a long time, it has some issues. It makes its money from visitors and donations, and lately despite it's being in Downtown, the fact that it's Public has made donations drop. Worse still, when the Woodland Park Zoo made bids on new specimens for its exhibits, a private, much fancier zoo in on Vashon Island Outremer district put up a bid Woodland Park couldn't beat, again and again. Now with less high up corps interested because of having to rub elbows with the Plebians, the Zoo's lost out on a lot of attractions which would have brought in everyone else. Worst still, the Vashon Island Zoo is rumored by some to mistreat it's critters.

So the mission's simple: Infilitrate the Vashon Island Zoo. Free the animals. Smuggle them to a secure holding location at the Downtown docks, where they'll be brought to the Zoo proper.

==The Meet==

The group arrived at an ancient hole-in-the-wall Salvadoran restaurant downtown near the docks. Sweetie simply walked to the meet, Bayou Bill and Winter both used their respective Dodge Scoots, and Pell arrived before any of the others.

Ever the professionals, Winter tried to order food before finding the Johnson, Bayou Bill started trying to wrestle a beast spirit that Pell had summoned, and Sweetie tried to pet Bayou Bill's gator and failed, almost getting snapped on.

After some struggles getting the group to focus, the Johnson, an ork from San Francisco with ties to the Bloody Tusks and who ran a smuggling gang, [[Juan Ortiz]] finally got their attention enough to explain the situation and the plan. Initially, a benefactor of the Woodland Park Zoo, Seattle's oldest and still primary public zoo, had contacted him.

It seems that the Zoo had bid on some wild life specimens and been outbid by a private zoo in Outremer. The benefactor, too late to simply give money to help bid for the animals, would like them stolen from the Vashon Island Zoo and brought to a secure warehouse where their RFID tags can be found and removed, and they can be hidden until they can be given to the Woodland Park Zoo. A ride to and from the island in the form of the Troll known as 'The Capt'n' was arranged, and so was a payment of 6,000 Nuyen.

A list of animals was handed over, hand written, with the number required.

==The Plan==

The runners decided to scout out the zoo and prepare a fog over the island just around the time night would hit. While Pell and Bayou Bill headed to scout out, Winter stealthily summoned a spirit and sustained a spell to bring in the fog.

Bayou Bill ran into some complications when he tried to bring his 'certified assistant animal' alligator with him, and his SIN almost got burned. Pell had no issue entering the zoo herself after Bill ran off, going so far to show her Guardian Spirit to the security and saying she had 'promised to take him to the good zoo and show him all the animals'.

==The Run==

After Pell scouted out the locations of the required animals, she returned to the group at the Marina. Heading up the island's roads, they took the time to summon a plant spirit (Winter) and a replacement Guardian Spirit (Pell) because the sun had set. Winter had specialized invisibility and silence put on them, and rather than trying to jump over the 3 meter tall wall?

Bayou Bill decided to kick the door down, which he did, but not without causing an eerie red light to flicker on the inside of the wall and throughout the area. After noticing a drone in the air scouting, which had no seen them yet, Bill shot it with a grenade launcher.

He then left the area of silence to find out that his kicking down the door had cause massive alarm noises to go off in the zoo and for much of the animals to freak out. Pell focused on the task at hand, while Bill gathered the animals from the list closest to his speciality, the Caimans.

Using her skill and the help of Winter, Pell gathered the Polar Bears, Ospreys, Cereberus Hounds, and African Elephants. Winter engaged two drones in combat and was hit with a canister of neurostun. Sweetie swung a club at a drone and got a glancing blow off of it.

The group couldn't locate the missing item on the list, some Juggernauts, and saw a sign saying they were 'away from the Zoo for testing' despite Pell having seen them before the zoo closed. As it became clear that they needed to hurry before more security showed up, the group left – though Bayou Bill had already left and thrown a caiman and some stun grenades in one Vashon Island family's back yard after them noticing him. No one saw this, however someone with his description was reported to Knight Errant and HTRP.

==Aftermath==

The crew made it to the cargo container ship hidden to carry them and the animals, and The Captain piloted through some choppy waters that required the group to make animal handling tests. In the end, they succeeded and explained the situation with the Juggernauts. After getting their pay, Bill offered to buy his compatriots drinks, but thy mostly turned him down. Perhaps because he insisted the buy the cheap stuff, or perhaps running a zoo heist was too tiring for them.

==Summary==

The runners are hired to track down an escaped time raptor who ran into the sewer. It shouldn't be too hard, after all, it's just a dumb animal. Right?
==Background==

After the events of [[Velociraptor Equals Disraptor Over Timeraptor]], one time raptor that was subdued by Wychking remained. The [[Doctors Malcolm & Ian Crichton]] took this remaining raptor and made some changes. They began by stripping down the amount of ware, removing much of the strength enhancing technology, leaving only the greyware back legs it uses to stand. Then, they filled it to the brim with experimental bioware and geneware, all geared at boosting the SURGEd alligator's neurological processes. As a result, the creature became sentient and escaped into the sewers under Renton. After 1 week of sending interns to get lost and be slain in those dark tunnels, the Chrichtons decided they would need a little more help. They sent out a call to shadowhaven.

The runners received their promises of nuyen in the usual ways. Behemoth as she was convincing people to join the Seattle Communist Party (with mixed success), Shrike and Tempo in the comfort of their own homes and bear taking a nap after a long day of being an actual literal bear. United by the promise of nuyen (or food in bears case, or justice in Behemoth's case) they made their way to the meet.

But not before Behemoth bought a 1 gallon tub of honey for bear. He deserves it.
==The Meet==

Rolling up to the Crichton's private lab, the runners were met by the Crichton's themselves (Whom, to Behemoth's dice's fortune, were not communists). The two scientists told the runners the entirety of the situation. They had made an attempt to implant ware into a time-raptor with the goal of sentience. Unfortunately, the experiment was a failure and the single, NON-SENTIENT time raptor had escaped into the sewers under Renton. While a few of the runners took the story at face value, Tempo was able to peer through the lies, sensing that something further was up with the story. The Crichtons promised 20,000 nuyen, which Behemoth used intimidation to raise to 30,000 with the promise of 10,000 for just investigating the situation. She was VERY intimidating.

The Crichton's offered their own private security man, Tedward to the party. With the location of the raptor escape marked and Tedward in tow, the runners took off.
==The Plan==

With the lack of information, the lying Johnsons and the security guard on their case, the runners simply decided to go in.
==The Run==

The runners climbed down into the pitch black sewers. The winding path of twisting tunnels and pretzeling pipes kept going until Shrike spotted a commlink and smartgun ahead. An alive intern, clawed across the chest, lay barely breathing against the tunnel wall. Shrike healed him with a medkit and they learned his team was dispatched into the sewers, where something hacked their contacts and they were cut down. Once healed, he hobbled away.

Mere moments later, a gas grenade thudded against the ground, releasing a cloud of toxins. The runners, hacking and coughing, exited the cloud but could not spot whatever had dropped the grenade. They only saw traces of a small creature, about the size of a chimpanzee, moving away. With another strange piece of the puzzle being laid out, the runners pushed forward. They pushed past traps and winding tunnels until they found an old elevator, with crates bearing the MCT logo. A single microphone and camera stood against the elevator wall.

As they stepped into the view of the camera, the microphone crackled to life with ... dolphin noises? Pushing off the confusion, Behemoth was able to mimic dolphin noises back and convince the creature to raise the elevator, bringing the runners up and face to face with 8 mounted gun turrets. The runners kicked into action. Behemoth grabbed Bear and threw him like a projectile where he slashed on in midair but took a nasty landing. Tempo charged one, Wasp drew his gun and fired but not before Shrike took a full burst of machinegun fire to the belly, just barely standing. With the threat fully realized, the runners (and Tedward) pushed into the guns, punching and clawing and axing and shooting until the guns were no more.

As they stood, surrounded by wreckage, Shrike with several pounds of bullets in him and Bear injured from the fall, a large Trid projector flickered on. A walking, talking, velociraptor turned to the runners, muttering about janitors and sewer workmen wandering in before leaping in surprise. The lab-coat and glasses clad velociraptor leaped backward in shock. As he began to tell the runners they would not disrupt his evil plans of annihilating the Crichton's and other animal experimenters, the runners told him that sounded pretty reasonable and they'd work with him. The raptor, still surprised, welcomed them in.

As they entered the lab, they were met with a porcupine in a mech suit and a dolphin cyberdoc. Unfortunately for everyone, Bear spotted the porcupines gun and, connecting it to that gun that had shot at him, charged it. The resulting fight ended with Tedward unconscious, the Dolphin punched, the porcupine's mechsuit destroyed and Behemoth crashing through several walls until the runners came face to face with Dr. Velo Clementine Raptor. He attempted to negotiate a deal between them but bear was faster, knocking out the SURGEd alligator. Once that was done, Behemoth delivered him to the [[The Dweller of the Tunnels]] for safe-keeping.
==Aftermath==

The runners collected their 10,000 nuyen hazard pay (with Shrike handing over some footage of the Raptor and Runners conversation) and Dr. Velo was imprisoned in the tunnels underneath Seattle, permanently and forever.

Probably.
==Rewards==
10,000 nuyen (5 RVP)

10 karma (10 RVP)

4 CDP (1 RVP)

==Overview==

Royce Vance is from a long line of professional wrestlers, a dynasty which could stand up in fame to many others, so by all intents Royce should have been destined to be a star, except Royce was born a gnome. Fascinated with the field despite the fact that his size and a fraility that not even working out could really solve for him prevented him from participating, he still found work in the industry from a managerial side of things.

Known for looking out for the wrestlers when he could, and having connections far afield with wrestlers both from the indie circuit and bigger names, by the time Royce was 30 he was running independent events all over North America. Even began to build a company of his own before Ares Macrotechnology bought it up, and hired him to head up their new wrestling division, Sixth World Championship Wrestling.

==Summary==

6th World Championship Wrestling, an entertainment branch of Ares Macrotechnology, is looking to promote its new show, and hire some Shadowrunners to help provide some 'realism' and convince people of the authenticity of the show despite it's following of Kayfabe.

==Background==

A gnome who is an Indie Wrestling Promoter from a dynasty of famous wrestlers, Royce Vance, has run a series of successful shows all across North America featuring old school professional wrestling. They were so successful that Ares bought the company that ran them, and contracted all its wrestlers, to begin to use to compete with Horizon's AWE Trids. With the first show of the epopnymously named 'Monday Night WAAAAAGGH' being held in the Ork Underground's only arena, Mister Vance decided to honor Seattle's fame as a hub of Shadowrunners by hiring some as wrestlers for the initial show.

==The Meet==

Samsara, Milliam, Zenith, and Frank Davis were invited to dine with Mr. Vance at the Big Rhino, where he treated them to a meal and provided them with the low down of what he needed. After some negotiation, including Frank using pheromones which were stereotyped to be enjoyed by gnomes, the group was offered a one night payday of 4,000 Nuyen and a share of any merchandise sold featuring their characters.

Samsara texted Kenny and he convinced her to ask for some free tickets and swag, with each runner being given 3 tickets for friends and family, and some free t-shirts made to show them as fans. They were asked to work on the wrestling form of shooting, and given an example of how it worked, as well as the address of where to meet the next day at 3PM.

==The Plan==

The crew arrived at the location, a gym 2 blocks from the Arena where they'd be doing the show out of, and were shown how to wrestle in the 'professional wrestling' style, and were shown by a male Troll in a wrestling Leotard called the 'Titan', and an Elf with long blonde hair, fake vampire fangs, a pirate shirt and pants. After said elf, 'Vlad', kicked Titan on purpose, he was thrown out of the ring and Mister Vance saw to it that they were given a proper example of a match by going against the Titan himself.

After it was over, he handed the training of the runners in wrestling to the Titan, who did so and after checking each of the runner's skills stopped by the water cooler to drink the whole thing.

The runners were given chances to design their wrestling personas, costumes, and in the case of Samsara given a montage of brick wall breaking to help make her attempt at wrestling style shooting before actually workshopping their wrestling personas, entry music, and the like, with the good, the bad, and the ugly theme being used for Zenith, and Bull's on Parade for Frank, with an orkzpolitation hip-hop goblin rock mash up that is basically just linkin park, for Samsara and Milliam. Samsara was given a prototype of their planned Samsara action figure, and they were shown the recently finished and being touched up 'Dunkelzahn Memorial Championship Belt'.

Zenith left to see a man about a horse.

==The Run==

The run began with the show's initial announcement, fireworks, and all that sort of stuff. The first match was Vlad facing off against Titan in a match, before Vlad was thrown into a table. After this, and Ghaz (who have volunteered as one of the announcers for this specific episode of the show, along with a Naga and a human) got up from the announcers table for a moment, Titan won the match.

Some time later, the announcer called out the next match, after commenting about Ghaz' prescence as a guest and with the fact that half of the gross for the night was being donated to a community center for the Ork Underground. With the calling of the next match, the kayfabe story of the 'Dunkelzahn Memorial Championship Belts' having been willed to the 6WCW in his will, for this exact type of thing, and that this would be the first match for the title belts.

Samsara and Milliam went out first, riling the crowd up with acrobatic moves and action, both wearing full masks to cover their identities. Samsara as 'Lady Tusk', and Milliam as 'Panther Girl, a hero of the people'.

They were followed by Zenith coming out, riding an Unicorn, and drinking from a safety glass glass bottle, throws it up before shooting it with his pistol. Frank charges forth, roaring, and both rile the crowd up, getting boos even before Frank throws a glass of milk in Samsara's face and Zenith shouts 'Breeders Rule!' to the largely Ork and Troll crowd, provoking even more boos. Frank then takes the mic, and talks about Ork Posers, as well as calling Samsara one, which is where thanks to Thunderbird the things went off the rails. In what was supposed to be a wrestling match with largely called shots, as soon as the bell rings Samsara gut punches Frank with Nausate, and causes Frank to spew chunks all over the ring, and the crowd.

Zenith tags in and squares off against Milliam, and the both of them put on a great show for 45 seconds to help keep people from just staring at Frank's projectile vomit. In the process, they use several false punches, acrobatic throws, jumps off the turnbuckle, and more. Ultimately, Zenith activates a false blood pack in the murder armor he is wearing, and sells it as real with such success the crowd goes wild. So wild the show is able to successfully rile the crowd up so much that they end up getting the ratings/viewers stolen from AWE, and just as a combo-move is done by Milliam and Samsara on Zenith, “Saeder-Krupp” Security forces show up at the entrance, followed by a man in knightly armor.

He says he's hear to get the belt for Lofwyr, and then Frank gets back up, slowly marches to the outside of the ring, and charges the knight, knocking him back and his helmet off, which lands on Frank's horn as he keeps storming from the ring. The knight is revealed to have Lowfyr colored long hair and preferred contacts, and is soon helped out by his soldiers.

Royce Vance shows up with his bodyguards, as the commissioner should, and declares Lady Tusk and Panther Girl as the victors, and the receivers of the Dunzelkhan Memorial Championship Belts, which are a tag team belt set because Dunzelkhan wanted people to work together.

==Aftermath==

Frank drank some water and ate some legitimate Saltines in the back stage area, before Samsara tried to apologize. Commissioner Vance gives a standing offer for the Shadowrunners to work for the show any time they wish, and gives them the promised payment plus a 5% gross cut they were promised, which left them each with 10,000 Nuyen.

But what will happen next for our champs? How hard is a Frank “The Taur-orkus” action figure going to sell out? Will Kenny ask to get in on the action next time? What about Trashcan? Flaming Trashcan practically sounds like a tag team name already.

==Summary==

==Background==

Nodbert's Numerous Noodles for a Nuyen are a cheap, homegrown staple of Seattle made in Puyallup and resold everywhere where people want cheap food that isn't stuffer shack drek. It's got packed Ramen, Chow Mein, Vietnamese style Pho, classic Mexican Sopa Fideo, Or'zet Extravaganza (which is notable as super spicy ramen), even Spaghetti with dehydrated Marinara, and in it's premium version, Spaghetti with dehydrated marinara, soy, and meat sauce with real dehydrated meat chunks! The same flavors also are available in Cups which come with forks or chopsticks, but most importantly they're made by a self-made Troll Chef, and while some hearing the name might think it's a marketing ploy to call them 'numerous'? It's Instant Noodles made for the size of Trolls, the packet's the size of a human sized loaf of bread.

Now, someone's hit the Nodbert's Numerous Noodles factory and warehouse and stolen it's shipments, and no one has it in stock.

==The Meet==

Mr. Frank Davis, Newt, Shrike, and Winter are called to meet the Tortuga Taco Truck in Puyallup after [[Carlos Blanco]] called in a favor to get some Shadowrunners skilled in private investigating to help solve an issue which Knight Errant refused to investigate.

In the end, the crew convinced Mr. Blanco and his friend Nodbert of Nodbert's Numerous Noodles that they'd take the job with a pay cut, so long as they also got a lifetime of free tacos and Nodbert's noodles if they were successful in solving the case and getting the stolen noodle stock back.

==The Plan==

The group went on to immediately head to the factory to investigate the incident.

==The Run==

After arriving at the factory, they meet Nodbert himself, his night warehouse manager Eddie the Ork, and the Security Chief 'I'dtellyouifIwantedto', a dwarf. After hearing the story of what happened, and the seeming 'professional skill' of the robbers.

Winter went on to check the smells of a knife left -in the stomach- of Eddie the Ork, and before Frank checked the blade for prints and, Newt assensed the blade. There, Winter picked up the smell of human sweat, motor oil, and the blood of Eddie the Ork. Newt was able to see that this stabbing wasn't entirely apart of the plan, and to see the stabber by examining the overly ornate convenience store style blade with assensing. Winter summoned a spirit of the beast to help tracking down and intimidate the assailant with the knife, as he seemed the weak link of the gang.

Swerve was able to pull the camera footage for the previous day, and the exact time of the attack, off the archaic computer and security system the factory used. With the help of Frank's Mona Lisa program, he ran the same prestine bearded human fellow which Newt had seen through the images, and was able to cross reference him. In the end, finding out that he had been the Sous Chef of the Company before being let go because he kept fighting with Eddie the Ork. The Sous Chef's name? Eddy Fitzgerald, and the group gathered his address and some information that this looked staged to resemble a Halloweener hit along with 'professional soldiers'.

With Invisibility put upon her by Winter, Newt infiltrated Eddy Fitzgerald's apartment only to find him tied up and with duct tape on his mouth, being forced to watch Diner's, Drive-ins, Dives, Dugouts, and Dungeons on Trideo. While sneaking through the apartment and checking it for traps before the others came up, found that Eddy had been locked in here, and Newt also found an Iguana Shifter whom was apparently Eddy's pet, in a Herpatarium.

After the team entered the apartment, and some negotiation and interrogation, the group got info on the group that provided the muscle, a Yakuza styled Meta-human gang, and information about the Mark Chan Noodle Company trying to get Eddy to work for them and after it was proved he didn't know the exact recipe of Nodbert's Noodles, tried to use his access to get all the product they could so they could reverse engineer their own.

When the team arrived, they would find Knight Errant on duty, and while Frank tried to catch them a corrupt cop trap after they complained about being on the job as security, Newt and Winter's Beast Spirit snuck in. Swerve helped guide Newt through to the location of the delivery truck that was stolen by hacking the host and the cameras, and Newt used her smart link goggles to capture the images of the vans there.

Swerve compiled the evidence and provided it for Frank to send to his contact Captain Squire in Knight Errant, and offer to show the cops on duty, and the duty officer's called their own captain to deal with him. After seeing the evidence and proof they were being used contractually to protect one contract holder from another's retribution and taking their goods back, KE moved to start arresting people after the evidence was revealed, but not before telling Frank 'any buddies you might have in there need to be out, and now'.

One of the criminals who had stole the van noticed what was going on and tried to take off in the van once again, only to have it's tire busted by Winter's Beast Spirit, and Swerve force it into parking break mode using the matrix. Newt got out, and Swerve covered his digital tracks.

==Aftermath==

Newt showed back up at Eddy's house, freeing him from his binds at the request of his Iguana, and took the Iguana shifter to [[Bianka_Dreschler]].

The crew reported in the results, and that the shipment should be returned by Knight Errant within a day, and after Newt dodging a hug of thanks from Nodbert, were given their promised pay and a pair of hand-written certificates, one providing them an unlimited lifetime supply of free Tacos from Tortuga Taco Truck, and another providing an unlimited lifetime supply of Nodbert's Noodles.

==Summary==

==Background==

Nodbert's Numerous Noodles for a Nuyen are a cheap, homegrown staple of Seattle made in Puyallup and resold everywhere where people want cheap food that isn't stuffer shack drek. It's got packed Ramen, Chow Mein, Vietnamese style Pho, classic Mexican Sopa Fideo, Or'zet Extravaganza (which is notable as super spicy ramen), even Spaghetti with dehydrated Marinara, and in it's premium version, Spaghetti with dehydrated marinara, soy, and meat sauce with real dehydrated meat chunks! The same flavors also are available in Cups which come with forks or chopsticks, but most importantly they're made by a self-made Troll Chef, and while some hearing the name might think it's a marketing ploy to call them 'numerous'? It's Instant Noodles made for the size of Trolls, the packet's the size of a human sized loaf of bread.

Now, someone's hit the Nodbert's Numerous Noodles factory and warehouse and stolen it's shipments, and no one has it in stock.

==The Meet==

Mr. Frank Davis, Newt, Shrike, and Winter are called to meet the Tortuga Taco Truck in Puyallup after [[Carlos Blanco]] called in a favor to get some Shadowrunners skilled in private investigating to help solve an issue which Knight Errant refused to investigate.

In the end, the crew convinced Mr. Blanco and his friend Nodbert of Nodbert's Numerous Noodles that they'd take the job with a pay cut, so long as they also got a lifetime of free tacos and Nodbert's noodles if they were successful in solving the case and getting the stolen noodle stock back.

==The Plan==

The group went on to immediately head to the factory to investigate the incident.

==The Run==

After arriving at the factory, they meet Nodbert himself, his night warehouse manager Eddie the Ork, and the Security Chief 'I'dtellyouifIwantedto', a dwarf. After hearing the story of what happened, and the seeming 'professional skill' of the robbers.

Winter went on to check the smells of a knife left -in the stomach- of Eddie the Ork, and before Frank checked the blade for prints and, Newt assensed the blade. There, Winter picked up the smell of human sweat, motor oil, and the blood of Eddie the Ork. Newt was able to see that this stabbing wasn't entirely apart of the plan, and to see the stabber by examining the overly ornate convenience store style blade with assensing. Winter summoned a spirit of the beast to help tracking down and intimidate the assailant with the knife, as he seemed the weak link of the gang.

=Character Information=

===Summary===

A human raised by his ork distant relatives in Oakland who learned to fight and embraced much of their own culture, and raised by his great-uncle to be a boxer. He might have done so too, going semi-pro and being told by a gang to throw the match only to have someone bet on him for him, and then fight his hardest. Winning the match, he was beaten by the gang after wards and might have ended up dying outside the stadium had the man who ended up being his teacher as a martial adept, not shown up and intervened. Where did the winnings go? His whole plan from the beginning was to use it to pay for his younger cousin's university, and specifically to get her to a city 'safer' than San Fran for a while.

===Goals===

-Make Money and a Comfortable Living

-Make a name for himself as a runner.

-Make enough money to help his extended family back in Oakland.

-Find out what happened to his actual parents.

-Master the arts of an adept.

==Background==

What does it mean to be family? Do you have to look like the people you call family? Talk like them? Even be closely related to them? These were the questions which Alfonso MacGuiness was forced to face from the tender age of eleven years old, when his third cousin Enrique, a venerable old orc who had been in the Dallas-Fort Worth sprawl which Alfonso had lived in at that age was someone he met at his Abuelita's funeral.

When Enrique introduced himself as his third cousin, Abuelita's nephew, Alfonso didn't know what to make it, but mama and papa hugged Enrique and treated him the way family was supposed to by tradition. It was over the next few days that mama and papa talked to cousin Enrique again while they visited with him still in town, and before Alfonso knew what was happening he had his meager bags packed and he was set to drive back with cousin Enrique, who given tradition he was already calling Tio by then.

Why? The memory was still kind of foggy, and he only occasionally got to talk to his parents afterwards, but to put it simply? Abuelita wasn't dead of old age. She had died because someone fired a high explosive round on the house when Alfonso had been at school and his parents were out on business. It wasn't some accident, but rather Abuelita had been targeted to get at his parents.

So Alfonso McGuiness found himself in San Fran, and not just in San Fran, in Oakland. Where he thought his relatives and family were small, he soon found dozens and dozens of relatives, and more who found him and tried to make him feel at home. His family never treated him different from the rest, despite the fact he was a human and all the rest of his proverbial clan were orks.

But see, while Oakland had plenty of humans in it and all, and despite his family being connected to the city for nearly a century now, Alfonso was targeted by local troll and ork toughs trying to make themselves feel better. If they could catch him alone or with his little cousins, they'd harass him, call him names, even try to claim he was some sort of poser trying to steal their cultural identity. Time and time again, they'd call him things – especially the highly assumptive and wrong, WASP, and the normal sort of derogative terms that came about, they'd steal whatever small amount of nuyen he had on hand – literally just go out of their way to make his life worse. Bigger than him despite being the same age, they thought it'd continue for a while.

But Alfonso was a fighter even then. He didn't want to have to tell why the nuyen he had been given was gone, or have to explain why his little cousin never got that freeze pop because the local wanna be ganger bullies harassed them.

So he swung, and he swung hard. Hard enough to break the well kept tusk of the gang of bullies, and he survived the beating that group gave him after. He thought it'd be the end of it, and indeed had sworn his younger cousins off of telling about his fight, but the older orks in the neighborhood had seen what happened, seen how he acted, and soon his Tio Enrique introduced him to a big african american orc who almost looked like a troll. Enrique and this man, who's name was Reginald Waters, were old friends and Reginald had heard on the grape vine about what had happened.

He told Alfonso he wanted to train him to be a boxer, and if it just ended up teaching him to defend himself in the neighborhood, so be it – but Reginald saw potential in the boy, and he knew potential, he'd won and coached several semi-pro and pro boxing matches of his own in his day.

The years rolled on, with Alfonso spending his time helping at the family's Tiendita, getting what public eduction was available, and when he wasn't doing either of those things, training to fight. As he grew and his reputation grew, as the neighborhood came out to see his matches, he'd hear time and time again both from his relatives the Ortiz family and from neighbors in general. “That's our boy!” “Go Alfonso” and more. In English, Spanish, and Or'zet he heard those words again and again, and he made the neighborhood proud. Proud enough even some of the Bloody Tusks gave him a nod, or bought him a drink, or a pat him on the back.

So he fought on, and by the time he was 20 he was moving up the ranks and even getting scouted to have an almost professional match up in Seattle. One he was proud to be apart of, until he heard the words from on high. The gang known as the Ancients owned the venue the match was on, and they were in charge in part of broadcasting the match? They had brought him up to lose. They were going to hype him up, dragging people in, especially with the story about how he was a human who fought like an Orc, and then he was to throw the match against the Elven boxer they had him against, and let them collect those vast profits. They'd give him a stipend for his travel, and a cut for throwing the match.

Problem was, Alfonso loved fighting but even he knew that Boxing was going to end up getting him ended sooner rather than later, and he still felt the need to protect his extended family. His little cousin Maria? She had passed tests with such high scores, and such high a magic affinity, that even MIT&T was offering her a full ride scholarship. So Alfonso had told Reginald to take all that money from winnings he had kept in a saving account for Alfonso, and to bet it all that Alfonso'd win, take the winnings and give it to the Ortiz family, but half went to Maria, to make sure she was safe and secure even so far from the family.

Alfonso fought the match of his life that night, and he did what he set out to do. He won, despite all odds and being told not to. He even got it out to the parking lot before the gang jumped him and proceeded to beat him, almost killing him.

But before the Ancients could kill him an very old looking Oni metatype Ork showed up and proceeded to beat the whole gang up without even a weapon. Snatching up the bruised and bloodied Alfonso, he spirited him out of there and inevitably became his martial arts teacher as Alfonso waited for the heat to die down, and this fellow, who called himself Ketsuryū Nakajima.

In that time, Ketsuryū explained that he had seen the fight, and believed Alfonso had greater fighting potential than he knew. And after Alfonso had been healed up in his care, Ketsuryū took him in as his student. Nearly four years later, and Ketsuryū feels he has passed the way of the adept on to Alfonso, and sent him to return home.

== Narrative Significant Qualities ==

===Positive===

'''Bilingual and Linguist -''' Alfonso has been around multiple languages from the earliest time in his life, and because of this – and his parents both speaking English and Spanish and making sure he could too – he slowly began to pick up smatterings of other languages too, with an ear and hunch for picking up what folks were saying.

'''Toughness and Quick Healer -''' Growing up in Oakland, Alfonso got in plenty of fights with Bloody Tusk wannabes when he was younger, and plenty more fights after his talent for boxing was shown. From it all he's become very willing to fight on longer than others might, and heals better than others might, too.

===Negative===

'''Bi-Polar -''' It might be something he's always had to deal with, it might be an issue that arose after he'd been boxing too long, but for whatever reason, Alfonso's got a chemical imbalance that requires him to take meds to stay stable between manic or depressive sides.

'''Coconut Allergy (Mild, Uncommon)-''' No, he doesn't care how much you swear by that triple frape soy boba tea with coconut milk. He is allergic to Coconuts and all products made with it.

'''Prejudice (Elves)-''' Despite not being born originally in CalFree, Alfonso spent his formative years there, and on top of that spent around his Ork extended family. Few actually promoted hate on the elves, but he could still see how much better the average Elf lived compared to the other Metahumans; and he may have read a bit too much Or'zet Fantasy tales written to counter the classical Lord of the Rings style Fantasy. Especially Broken Tusk the Brave. So he has a bias against Elves.

'''No Man Left Behind-''' Something he learned instinctively as a youth in Oakland was you never leave your chummer, or even someone working with you, behind. You look out for them and try to do what you can do to help them.
