	~~===Summary===~~
	A professional boxer out to prove he's the best, James has spent the past 8 years solidifying himself as a major player in the UCAS:Professional Adept Boxing League. Winning the 2078 Championship bout in a 10 round slugfest against his career long rival Joji "the Dragon" Kanazuka, he won the enmity of the Yakuza game when he refused to take a dive in that same bout. After nearly losing his life in a Yakuza hit the same day, James decided that it was time to practice his "Hurricane Style" in more... dangerous settings. So, he took up Shadowrunning.

	~~===Backstory===~~
	Born on April 10th, 2050, James never did well in school. What he did well in was getting into fights, and he did so as often as he could. Getting into as many fighting clubs and programs as he could instead of spending time in school, James became an incredibly talented boxer by his junior year - around the same time he discovered he was an adept. James, figuring he didn't need any magic to prove he was the best, ignored his powers for the better part of the two years after he graduated high school. It wasn't until he was 20 years old he was discovered by Sioux talent scout and former minor league boxer, George Ohiyesa. George sponsored him all the way through the minor leagues until James joined the UCAS Professional Adept Boxing League, the national bare knuckle boxing league for awakeneds and rivaling Urban Brawl for ratings on TV. This popularity only grew as James met Joji "the Dragon" Kanazuka for the first time in the ring, sparking their epic 5-years-running rivalry that climaxed just this year during the 2078 UCAS:PABL Championships. James, previously unable to get into the Grand Finals every year prior, finally met his rival Joji Kanazuka in the ring. Previously paid off by the Yakuza to dive in the 6th for 35,000 nuyen, James took the offer under false pretenses and ran the match all the way to the 10th, a match characterized by some of the finest boxing the UCAS:PABL has ever seen. After the match, an infuriated Shotozumi-Gumi sent a hit squad after James that he beat off with incredible ease.
	After discovering the full potential of his powers, especially when added to the cyberware augments and drug use that is the competitive norm in the professional sports world, he decided he wasn't content with all he could do in the ring. Deciding it was the best way to practice his technique, James started to do something he'd only heard of in ruins - Shadowrunning. Juggling his professional boxing career and Shadowrunning, James has found himself in Seattle for the UCAS:PABL Western Circuit and gotten himself involved with the local shadowrunning community. James is ready to throw with anyone, anytime, anywhere. The throne for the king of the hill has a reserved spot on it, and it says James Albert Langston.

	~~===Goals===~~
	James wants to defend his championship title, and take his game to the world stage in international tournaments and the Olympics, something he's been unfortunately incapable of for the past 8 years. As well, he wants to finally crush his rival, Joji "the Dragon" Kanazuka, and the Yakuza who threaten his life on a daily basis.
	~~== Narrative Significant Qualities ==~~
	James is ambitious, hotheaded, and always willing to prove that his Hurricane style is the best style on the block. He isn't a dumb person (well, at least not in terms of common sense, when it comes to booksmarts he's as dumb as they come), but he is a very easy to irk person.

	===Backstory===		===Backstory===
	~~James Albert Langston was born the youngest of three in lower Manhattan,~~ on April 10th, 2050. ~~He grew up~~ in ~~middle class UCAS with a relatively normal childhood. Never the best (or most patient) student, James often found himself~~ getting into fights ~~in his younger years. The more~~ he ~~fought, the better~~ he ~~got,~~ and he ~~ended up getting~~ in ~~minor adolescent 'leagues'~~, ~~where~~ his ~~classmates would bet on how well he could kick~~ around ~~his peers. However, when~~ he ~~turned 13 and~~ discovered he was an ~~awakened~~, he ~~got ostracized from these fight clubs due~~ to his ~~clear unfair advantage. Still craving~~ the ~~thrill~~ of the ~~fight,~~ he ~~started to join undergound adept boxing rings all the way through his junior year of~~ high school until ~~he (albeit barely) managed to graduate.~~		Born on April 10th, 2050, James never did well in school. What he did well in was getting into fights, and he did so as often as he could. Getting into as many fighting clubs and programs as he could instead of spending time in school, James became an incredibly talented boxer by his junior year - around the same time he discovered he was an adept. James, figuring he didn't need any magic to prove he was the best, ignored his powers for the better part of the two years after he graduated high school. It wasn't until he was 20 years old he was discovered by Sioux talent scout and former minor league boxer, George Ohiyesa. George sponsored him all the way through the minor leagues until James joined the UCAS Professional Adept Boxing League, the national bare knuckle boxing league for awakeneds and rivaling Urban Brawl for ratings on TV. This popularity only grew as James met Joji "the Dragon" Kanazuka for the first time in the ring, sparking their epic 5-years-running rivalry that climaxed just this year during the 2078 UCAS:PABL Championships. James, previously unable to get into the Grand Finals every year prior, finally met his rival Joji Kanazuka in the ring. Previously paid off by the Yakuza to dive in the 6th for 35,000 nuyen, James took the offer under false pretenses and ran the match all the way to the 10th, a match characterized by some of the finest boxing the UCAS:PABL has ever seen. After the match, an infuriated Shotozumi-Gumi sent a hit squad after James that he beat off with incredible ease.
	~~However, his less than stellar grades caught up with him as~~ he was rejected from every college he applied to, and dropped out of the community college from pure frustration at the age of 18. Out of college, and too ashamed to go back to his parents, he did the only thing he knew how - he fought for his livelihood, joining any legal or illegal leagues he could get into. For the next two years ~~James fought from shitty apartment to shitty apartment, until~~ he was discovered by ~~boxing~~ talent scout and ~~Sioux tribe member~~ George Ohiyesa. ~~Ohiyesa, who would go on to be his promoter and close friend, helped James refine his style and go for~~ the ~~big~~ leagues~~. In 2070,~~ James ~~became the youngest member of~~ the UCAS Professional Adept Boxing League.		After discovering the full potential of his powers, especially when added to the cyberware augments and drug use that is the competitive norm in the professional sports world, he decided he wasn't content with all he could do in the ring. Deciding it was the best way to practice his technique, James started to do something he'd only heard of in ruins - Shadowrunning. Juggling his professional boxing career and Shadowrunning, James has found himself in Seattle for the UCAS:PABL Western Circuit and gotten himself involved with the local shadowrunning community. James is ready to throw with anyone, anytime, anywhere. The throne for the king of the hill has a reserved spot on it, and it says James Albert Langston.
	~~James~~, ~~an obvious underdog, was a quick fan favorite~~ and ~~gained some solid~~ popularity~~, gaining the moniker "The Hurricane~~"~~. It was during~~ the ~~first two years of his boxing career that he began the intense rivalry that would define his career - he had his first fight against Joji "The~~ Dragon" Kanazuka~~, a boxer with family ties to~~ the ~~Yakuza. After that~~ first ~~match, the bitter rivalry between the Hurricane and the Dragon only grew. Whenever James and Joji took to~~ the ring, ~~it was almost always a sold out show. Their~~ rivalry climaxed~~, however, in~~ the 2078 UCAS:PABL Championships.
	James, ~~who'd always dreamed of making it~~ to ~~grand finals but never making it past semifinals~~, ~~had~~ finally ~~managed to fight his way to the top. Once in grand finals,~~ his ~~opponent was none other than~~ Joji Kanazuka. ~~However, James had been approached~~ by ~~Joji's~~ Yakuza ~~family and paid~~ 35,000 nuyen ~~to drop the match in the 6th.~~ James ~~agreed, but really planned to take~~ the ~~money~~ and ~~kick~~ the ~~crap out of Joji to make a point against rigged matches. The~~ match ~~dragged on and on, and by~~ the ~~time~~ the ~~6th round rolled around and James showed no intention of dropping~~, ~~the Yakuza realized his ploy.~~
	~~The next four rounds were defined~~ by some of the ~~best~~ boxing the UCAS:PABL ~~had~~ ever seen~~, both contenders desperate to take home~~ the ~~title. The bitter~~ match ~~lasted all the way to the 10th~~, ~~when~~ James ~~took the match~~ with ~~a blindingly fast TKO~~. ~~Taking home~~ the ~~title~~ and the 35,~~000 nuyen, James didn~~'t ~~think the day~~ could ~~get any better - and then~~ the ~~Yakuza tried to kill him~~. ~~As he left~~ the ~~arena four Yakuza thugs tried~~ to ~~kill him and take the money he'd tried to get away with. However~~, ~~they weren't counting on~~ James ~~entering a furious rage the likes of which not even the Hurricane knew he was capable of.~~
	~~After this... strange revelation, James decided he wanted~~ to ~~expand on his powers by doing~~ something he'd only heard of in ~~rumors:~~ Shadowrunning. ~~He bought a fake SIN for one "Marcus Christopher Hadfield",~~ and ~~started to take on small jobs whenever he went on tour. Now~~, ~~he's come to~~ Seattle for the UCAS:PABL Western ~~circuit~~ and ~~looking~~ for ~~some good jobs to get some much needed practice~~.

	James Albert Langston was ~~bored~~ the youngest of three in lower Manhattan, on April 10th, 2050. He grew up in middle class UCAS with a relatively normal childhood. Never the best (or most patient) student, James often found himself getting into fights in his younger years. The more he fought, the better he got, and he ended up getting in minor adolescent 'leagues', where his classmates would bet on how well he could kick around his peers. However, when he turned 13 and discovered he was an awakened, he got ~~ostrocized~~ from these fight clubs due to his clear unfair advantage. Still craving the thrill of the fight, he started to join undergound adept boxing rings all the way through his junior year of high school until he (albeit barely) managed to graduate.

	However, his less than stellar grades caught up with him as he was rejected from every college he applied to, and dropped out of the community college from pure frustration at the age of 18. Out of college, and too ashamed to go back to his parents, he did the only thing he knew how - he fought for his ~~livelyhood~~, joining any legal or illegal leagues he could get into. For the next two years James fought from shitty apartment to shitty apartment, until he was discovered by boxing talent scout and Sioux tribe member George Ohiyesa. Ohiyesa, who would go on to be his promoter and close friend, helped James refine his style and go for the big leagues. In 2070, James became the youngest member of the UCAS Professional Adept Boxing League.

	James, an obvious underdog, was a quick fan favorite and gained some solid popularity, gaining the moniker "The Hurricane". It was during the first two years of his boxing career that he began the intense rivalry that would define his career - he had his first fight against Joji "The Dragon" Kanazuka, a boxer with family ties to the Yakuza. After that first match, the bitter rivalry between the Hurricane and the Dragon only grew. Whenever James and Joji took to the ring, it was almost always a sold out show. Their rivalry climaxed, however, in the 2078 UCAS:PABL Championships.		James, an obvious underdog, was a quick fan favorite and gained some solid popularity, gaining the moniker "The Hurricane".

	James, who'd always dreamed of making it to grand finals but never making it past semifinals, had finally managed to fight his way to the top. Once in grand finals, his opponent was none other than Joji Kanazuka. However, James had been approached by Joji's Yakuza family and paid 35,000 nuyen to drop the match in the 6th. James agreed, but really planned to take the money and kick the crap out of Joji to make a point against rigged matches. The match dragged on and on, and by the time the 6th round rolled around and James showed no intention of dropping, the Yakuza realized his ploy.
