			;SIN
			:''See SR5 p. 362''
			:System Identification Number. Not actually just a number, a SIN functions as the 6th World's version of a national or corporate ID, only far more invasive. A SIN is required to exist normally in society, and is needed for basic financial transactions, legal employment, and housing. In Shadowrunner circles, having a SIN is generally viewed as a liability, as it means your biometrics are present in a national or corporate database. A person with a SIN is a SINner; those without SIN are referred to as SINless.
