Character Information
Summary
A refugee of the Aztlan-Amazonian war, who fled up the Pacific coast to escape the conflict in Bogotá before getting picked up by the Ancients as a tech specialist.
After a decent bit of time running with the Go-Gang up and down the coast from LA to Seattle, she's finally joining a chapter that stays closer to someplace she may be able to call home.
Goals
Short Term:
- Make herself a home here in Seattle.
- Get to know strong people.
- Get some of this used 'ware replaced. It's dinged to hell.
Long Term:
- Turn into a lean, mean, cybered up deckersamurai machine.
- Piss off security forces.
- Get a bounty of 1 million nuyen.
Background
Born in Bogotá to an Amazonian mother and an Aztlanner father, Insonia had family on both sides of the border as a child. Her family was wealthy enough that they were able to arrange border crossings to see both - and they even vacationed in portions of Aztlan, her father's work as a decker for Amazonian forces earning the family decent pay.
Of course, as the 2070's rolled around, she saw her father less and less. There were increasing concerns about tensions between Aztlan and Amazonia, with espionage and incidents between the two governments increasing in intensity and frequency. When war broke out, Bogotá was at the heart of it, with Amazonian and Aztlanner forces clashing in and around the city at the epicenter of the war. At first, her family stayed relatively safe, able to play off both sides - her father's native Spanish and usefulness to both sides able to cover for whose side he was truly on. But as the city came under siege, the situation became desperate. Allamanda was attempting to steal supplies from military units regularly to keep the family from starving.
It didn't go well. Caught up in the middle of a firefight, she was unlucky enough to be on the receiving end of a grenade. Her survival was a miracle. Patched together with 'ware from the many killed during the siege, she recovered - only for Aztlan to make a move to win the war. When rumour spread that the Aztlan forces were culling Amazonian agents, she was given her father's deck and told to flee.
She did, of course - surviving and slipping north with a stream of refugees, unable to return to Amazonia across the front line. SINless, she traveled further and further north. By the late 2070's, she lived in LA - and was having more and more difficulty surviving without an organization's support.
So naturally, when an Ancients affiliated doctor was working on her cyberware, a casual reccomendation turned her onto the idea. It took only a short time for Insonia to dive into the gang's activities, quickly becoming known both for being a durable fighter and a solid tech expert. She's traveled up and down the coast for a few years at this point, doing gang work - and slowly moving towards being a proper runner.
Narrative Significant Qualities
Positive
- Mixed Lineage (Bilingual, Biocompatibility - Cyberware) - Allamanda's parents gave her many gifts. Among them were a talent for languages and the cyberware suite that lets her walk.
- Ancient (Made Man) - Help from the Ancients is responsible for a lot of her freedom in life. Allamanda loves her motorcycle, and she loves her motorcycle gang too.
- Lateral Thinker (Perfect Time, Quick Config) - With equipment this aged, Alla's had to get used to thinking quickly and thinking on her feet.
Negative
- Haunting History (Insomnia, Thousand Yard Stare) - The city under siege lives in her mind. Nights are the hardest. Days are not much easier. Her very name comes from the late nights spent tinkering instead of sleeping - anything to keep her mind occupied.
- Lingering Anger (Prejudiced - Security Forces, Radical) - The armies on both sides cared not even a whit for the civilians trapped in between them. Years of watching police and soldiers alike show callous indifference have poisoned her attitude towards any and all hands of the law. She hates them, and anyone like them.
