Character Information
Summary:
Fen is a red fox with orange-and-white fur and striking blue eyes. His coat is predominantly a warm orange, with clean white markings across his muzzle, cheeks, chest, and underside. His ears are expressive and tend to give away his mood long before his words do. He's wiry and fairly lean, with the sort of build that comes from spending more time working around vehicles than worrying about appearances. His clothes are chosen for practicality and comfort rather than fashion, and there's a good chance of finding a little grease or machine oil somewhere on him.
Fen has the general appearance of someone who spends a lot of time around machines. He tends to fiddle with tools, vehicle parts, or whatever happens to be nearby when he's thinking. His hands are usually busy even when the rest of him isn't. He's generally friendly, laid-back, and approachable. He'll joke around when things are going well, but when something goes wrong, the humor disappears quickly. His attention narrows, he assesses the problem, and he starts looking for the most practical solution available. He's not particularly interested in looking intimidating. He's perfectly happy to let someone else handle the threats while he figures out how to get everyone out alive.
Personality:
Fen considers himself a good person. He just doesn't consider that the same thing as being a *nice* person. He prefers solving problems without hurting people when that's an option. If there's a way to talk someone down, trick them, scare them off, or simply drive around them, he'll usually take it.But Fen isn't naive. He understands that sometimes people make violence the only practical option. If someone threatens his team or innocent people, he's willing to respond decisively.
His philosophy is fairly simple: Do what you can. Don't make things worse. And don't hesitate when hesitation is going to get somebody killed.He's not interested in grand causes, changing the world, or sticking it to the megacorps just for the principle of it. He's a shadowrunner because it's a way to make a living using the skills he has, and because the work tends to pay better than legitimate employment.That doesn't mean he'll take any job. There are lines he won't cross. Exactly where those lines are depends on the circumstances.
As a Runner, Fen is happiest when he's behind the wheel. He likes having a problem in front of him that can be solved with a combination of skill, preparation, and occasionally putting his foot down. He's also developed something of a reputation for causing vehicular accidents. Hence the name.
Fen doesn't necessarily see himself as a combatant. He's a driver first. If he can get the team in, get them out, and leave the opposition wondering why their car suddenly went through a wall, that's a successful run in his book.
He prefers disabling enemies to killing them when practical. Of course, *"practical"* is doing a lot of work in that sentence.
General Attitude
Fen isn't cynical enough to believe everyone is terrible. He's just experienced enough to know that some people are. He'll help someone who's genuinely in trouble, especially if he thinks he can actually make a difference. He'll give people a chance to walk away. He'll generally try to keep collateral damage to a minimum. But he isn't going to sacrifice himself, or his team, for someone else's idealistic notion of morality.
At the end of the day, Fen's priorities are straightforward: Keep the team alive. Get the job done. Get paid. Try not to make the world any worse than it already is.
Goals:
- Acquire a small fleet of combat-capable drones to expand his options in the field.
- Upgrade his current ride with better armor, performance, and useful rigger modifications.
- Build up enough money and contacts to take on better-paying, more professional jobs.
Background: Fen grew up around machines and developed a natural talent for fixing, modifying, and driving vehicles. He eventually began taking odd jobs as a mechanic and driver, gradually crossing the line into work that wasn't entirely legal. His skills eventually brought him into the shadows, where he found there was good money to be made putting his talents to use. Fen doesn't have a dramatic history or a grand personal vendetta; he's simply a practical guy who found his place as a rigger, wheelman, and drone operator. He tries to do the right thing when he can, but understands that life in the shadows sometimes requires getting his hands dirty. Eventually, he met his Fixer, Aidan Byrne, who hired Fen on a one man job to provide a diversion against Knight Errand, so a shadowrun team could do a quick job and slip away. Fen decided to lead them on a car chase spanning twelve counties, resulting in the destruction of three KE cruisers and extensive property damage. He eventually engaged his spoof chips and slipped away into a dark tunnel, taking several back roads to avoid being followed, thus earning him his paycheck.
