Overview

Among the various tribes belonging to the Dayak Council of Borneo and Sulawesi, there was one with a unique gift. This tribe is known as the Surya tribe, and within them was a very rarely seen gift, a natural adaptation to bioware and cyberware depending on the individual, of course not every member possessed this gift but it was common enough to be noticed. And noticed they were by Renraku, the primary corporation allowed any influence in the Dayak Council. Despite their repeated efforts the tribe did not seem receptive to their propositions so they concocted a plan. To grow a PTT to grow alongside the tribe and bring them more into their own hands. Able to get genetic information from one willing tribe member named Darma Widjaja. With this material the woman who would later became known as Hantu was "born." Granted many were born before her to ensure the perfect subject but best she not be made aware of this. Most if not all of her ork/oni characteristics scrubbed away to have her resemble a somewhat normal, albeit tall, human woman.

Darma raised the would be Hantu as his own daughter, however the Surya tribe grew suspicious of her and would be seen as a somewhat outcast among them despite her exceptional abilities, being far stronger and accurate with any weapon that was put in front of her. Her capabilities in stealth also being second to none. Regardless though her only solace being the occasional check-ins with Renraku personnel who would treat her as "family." However she was still a member of the Surya tribe and they acknowledged this fact if begrudgingly. Wanting them to fully accept her however the PTT would head out into the world as a Shadowrunner, an occupation she had only heard of in rumours and stories. And while shaky at first seeing the world as a whole, she slowly grew to it and picked up the alias of Hantu. A word ascribed to spirit or ghost in her native tongue. And with her capabilities and corporate backing she became a legend amidst the shadows. Hailed as being among the best snipers in all of the Asian continent if not the world. Donating next to every nuyen, peso, pound, dollar, whatever she was paid with back to her tribe. Letting it be known she did it for them.

Upon her eventual return Hantu was far more respected and considered one of them. And her sphere of influence grew, allowing Renraku to fully utilize the tribes capabilities. Enhancing nearly all of their members with some degree of their own cyber or bioware. The tribe as a result of this and Hantu adopted a new form of Animism, believing that there was a form of life within the machine. Within the technology of the sixth world a potent life Hantu was born with. Accepting this life into themselves and their own bodies. Hantu would continue to teach her tribe what she learned as a runner, the tactics and strategies her and her fellow runners used to attain victory in countless runs. Eventually a large group of individuals who followed her teachings would still wish to follow her. Individuals of other tribes eventually also flocking to her side. And eventually taking upon an ancient 5th world name of warrior, Hantu and her followers would become known as the Ksatria. An elite fighting force in service to the native people and by extension the council. All the while Renraku simply smiled as their project was a brilliant success.
