Overview

Brad Burton - Biggie Beefcake - used to be a promising street samurai from Everett. The world was his oyster: blessed with luck, good genes, ware, weapons and the power of resilience to block small arms fire with his bare (this is very important) chest, he could and would pull through, every team noting he could be relied on. That is the past, whoever. One fateful night and a Cascade Ork adept archer on a run to oppose foreign smugglers, he took an arrow to the knee. Until he can upgrade himself to good cyberlimbs, he's forced to operate in the light as an Uber driver. But not just that - he also wishes to give back as a wannabe fixer.

Aspects Description

Aspect	Description
Iterative Collaboration	While quite excited to work with fellow runners, he tends to view interactions less as straightforward requests and more as a group collaboration. After all, he knows what's up. If not carefully checked, the task or idea asked of him might "evolve" in a direction that he feels is either more effective, interesting or profound. Sometimes he even remembers to call back to update the team without needing to be called back.
Berserk Button	His berserk button is called Biggie Bun, his Syrian hamster. Requesting anything, roll an Etiquette test with the threshold of 6 - Loyalty, minimum 1. If you fail, he believes that his pet was slighted and refuses to help you without owing them (this is important) a chip or paying the relevant service costs where the threshold is equal to your missing hits.
Swoonworthy Sammie	Biggie Beefcake used to be a street samurai, in fact, a truly promising one. After all, no one can block small arms fire with their bare chest. That is to say, no one but Biggie Beefcake. In spite of his injury currently not letting him operate at his full power, he retains his skill and grit. +2 to Automatics, Unarmed Combat, Perception, Diving and Intimidation as well as the Stealth and Athletics (with the exception of Flight, which is a skill he's yet to master) groups.
Shockingly Fine Fixer	He drives his Toyota Gopher for Uber to make a living, but he makes for a shockingly fine fixer. Social tests receive +2, probably due to the fact his preferred bare-chestedness proves his body is a temple, but not one of the ancient and dilapidated ones like in Greece. Similarly, networking and typical fixer knowledge skills, for example Underworld, Shadow Community and News are at +2 as well. Conveniently, he can drive you as well and look legit doing it.
Ever a Hand on the Pulse of Everett	He's a local and immediately more effective when working in or on the district. Knowledge tests related to the area or the locals like Gangs, Syndicates, Underworld, Area Knowledge or networking there are at +2. Similarly, the Outdoors skill group benefits if it's used in Everett. Employed on a run happening there, he's also more effective socially and with the skills from the Swoonworthy Sammie aspect.
My Hamster and I	The true love of Biggie Beefcake is Biggie Bun, his pet Syrian hamster. (Regardless of the passage of time, every hamster he adopts is called Biggie Bun.) Biggie Bun's defining trait is deep-running hatred of the metahuman race with the notable exception of Biggie Beefcake. Their (depending on who the pet store sold Biggie Beefcake this time) wrath is of biblical proportions and the cunning used to enact it beyond mortal ken. This manifests in three ways. One, Biggie Bun is skilled at Perception, Unarmed Combat and the skills found in the Outdoors, Stealth (except for Disguise… we hope) and Athletics (except for Flight, duh) groups. This makes them a fine reconnaisseur. Two, knowledge skills like Critters or Biology are at +2. Three, you can pay Biggie Beefcake 3000¥ - 500¥/loyalty and have the two stage a distraction where Biggie Beefcake bothers, err, educates the public on the virtues of hamsters, but especially his hamster, with Biggie Bun eager to enact plans of bloody vengeance on those foolish enough to try to pet them. The GM has the final say on how long this lasts, so better be swift.
