Character Information
A young elf lady who takes care of her cars and drones rather better than she does herself. She's slow to trust and loves to do her background research. Shadowrunning is her way of exerting self-determination - she hates feeling manipulated.
Summary
Red Ribbon
Goals
- Get a nice car or bike to ride around casually. And a proper nice one - no cop-outs. Her van gets her places, but it's no hot rod.
- Make a name for herself so people think twice about crossing her. Fame, public awareness... whatever it takes.
Background
Holly Spade was born to a pair of middle-weight criminals in the Redmond Barrens. The life they provided would only last for a few years before they abandoned her to the streets, unwilling to properly care for her. She was too young to properly understand what was happening, and now barely remembers their faces. This left her with scarcely anything - her name, a near-depleted credchip she could scrounge from the wreckage, and her wits. There are a hundred thousand ways for such a child to go wrong in Seattle, and so, predictably, she did.
After a long, long childhood of terrribly hard living, Holly was taken in by an agent of a local gang, who deceived her as to his proper affiliation. Growing up on the streets had thoroughly beaten any naivete that Holly had left, but the (to her) luxuries he offered tempted her beyond compare, calling back on long-faded memories of an infancy in greater comfort. Holly found herself a reasonably good actor, and with a particular knack for drone operation. Her new "guardian" furnished her growth in these areas with small trinkets - a fly-spy, a simple commlink. A nice place to stay. It was when she entered her late teens that he began to ask for gratitude for these favors, usually involving the surveillance of others or the planting of small, anonymous packages in secluded places.
This was when the killings began. Holly never questioned what her guardian was doing with the information she gathered - at least not openly. To her, what she had was worth whatever ignorance he required. Alas, she would one day be asked to take an unusually long watch, and thus witnessed the true purpose of her operation - as part of one of the many deadly, shadowy conflicts that rage across Seattle, gathering intelligence to set up ambushes for her guardian's enemies. Many were innocent.
Nobody's perfect, and eventually the retaliation came, on a day when Holly was returning to meet with her "guardian" some few days after one of these follow-ups. She found the apartment where he hid shot to hell, and entered to catch the his last moments, dying from gunshot wounds.
The moment that her erstwhile "guardian" bled out was the moment that her reality came crashing down upon her. Though those who knew of her relationship with the man were dead by virtue of his goals, his impact wasn't nearly enough to eliminate anyone who might possibly hold a grudge against her should the truth come out. Suddenly, she was alone - alone and afraid, and so she booked it, again scrounging whatever she could from the safehouse he provided and swearing never to be so willingly blind again. So it was that she began running for herself, rather than anyone else.
The residual guilt from what she was involved in and the acute awareness of how willing she was for some time eats away at her in the early hours of the morning. Not just for being involved in killing, of course - some awful stuff happens in the shadows - but more so for her willful, even eager ignorance of what was truly going on. Her refusal to question her circumstances more makes her concerned about her own intuition.
She tries to drive it away with work and adrenaline - there's always tuning to be done on one of her drones, or a paint job to be touched up, or someone to be researched before an upcoming run, often with the help of Psyche. Oh - and her coat just has to be impeccable, even though nobody sees it when she's cooped up in her van. On runs, she finds that riding far closer to the edge than comfortable takes the clenching feeling out of her stomach, at least for a while.
Narrative Significant Qualities
Positive
Profiler - Red Ribbon's past makes her unnerved when she can't do her research beforehand. Her difficulty adapting to social improvisation often comes across as an odd inability to trust what others are saying, or in her own ability to make good decisions.
Negative
Big Regret - Red Ribbon deeply regrets both how she allowed herself to facilitate indiscriminate murder, even if it was for the benefit of someone who helped take care of her. Moreover, she regrets intentionally turning a blind eye to anything that made her suspicious, lured by the relative comfort she lived in.
Distinctive Style - Red Ribbon's runner clothing is covered in stylish, angular red accents that match her hair, also dyed a deep red. The same accents are present on the pop-up gun of her MCT Fly-spy. Even dressed more casually, she always has a noticeable number of bright red accents to her style, through accessories or otherwise.
Poor Self Control (Thrill Seeker) - Red Ribbon likes to take risks in the heat of combat. The adrenaline is exhilarating - not much more to say about that.
