===Summary===
Minamoto "Red Wraith" Kuniko is a human of asian descent, who was once a promising candidate to become a Red Samurai, but was betrayed and framed by envious members among Blue Samurai. With her honor shattered, and her chance of ascension to full Red Samurai status denied, she was left no other choice but to join the shadows instead. Strongly adhering to the honorable conduct of a samurai's code (particularly the '''Path of the Ronin'''), she is well suited for a Shadowrunner's path as a '''Hooder'''.
Minamoto "Red Wraith" Kuniko is japanese runner, originally from Neo Tokyo. She was once an experiment from Yamatetsu/EVO, but was freed after an incident involving shadowrunners. Following the samurai's path of the Ronin, she has forged a new life as a '''Hooder''' within the shadow community.

==Background==
Minamoto Kuniko was created as a prototype test subject by a Yamatetsu facility in Japan on February 14th, 2061. She was originally created as the result of genetic alterations and enhancements to improve a human's overall efficiency and longevity, with the intent of forging a new type of super soldier for Yamatetsu (who would later become EVO). Of many test subjects that were attempted to be created through this process, Minamoto was one of the only few who were successful when 'born', surviving the alterations. However, during the instability of Yamatetsu's hierarchy in 2065-2066 (before becoming EVO), agents from Renraku were able to spy and gain information about Yamatetsu's super soldier projects, including the successful creation of Minamoto.
Minamoto Kuniko was created as a prototype test subject by a Yamatetsu facility in Japan on February 14th, 2061. She was originally created as the result of genetic alterations and enhancements to improve a human's overall efficiency and longevity, with the intent of forging a new type of super soldier for Yamatetsu (who would later become EVO). Of many test subjects that were attempted to be created through this process, Minamoto was one of the only few who were successful when 'born', surviving the alterations. Throughout her early life, she was treated as a lab rat for Yamatetsu's (later EVO's) studies on enhanced human genetics. However, during the instability of Yamatetsu's hierarchy in 2065-2066 (before becoming EVO), those in the shadows wished to exploit their vulnerability. One such event was a run involving a team of shadowrunners to infiltrate the facility, to steal valuable data and goods. During the data acquisition, the shadowrunner team learned of the super soldier project, and the result of it being Minamoto, who was still a child at the time. As such, realizing her potential value, they offered to free and rescue her from the facility, along with any other test subjects (who were alive and stable) to be freed as well.


Realizing the potential it could have for their elite Red Samurai ranks, and the fact Minamoto was traditionally japanese, Renraku hired shadowrunners to capture her, along with a copy of all data of the project, and to simultaneously wipe out that information from Yamatetsu's data files. Once in Renraku's hands, Minamoto was adopted as one of their own, to explore her potential as a super soldier. Over the years she had shown great promise as a warrior, and since Renraku took care of her more amiably than Yamatetsu (now EVO) ever did, she felt as if she was treated as an actual person, and less of a lab rat. She was slowly building her way up to be a perfect candidate to become a Red Samurai, but unfortunately, her destiny took a sudden sharp, darker turn with the existence of Blue Samurai coming into play.
To be safe away from EVO's search teams, the shadowrunner team returned to Seattle with her for safety once the job had been settled. This led to Minamoto being raised not by EVO, but instead from the shadows. The shadowrunner team adopted her as one of their own, and chose to raise her with respect, which was a stark contrast compared to how Yamatetsu treated her. With guidance and training, she learned to have a life she otherwise would not have, thanks to the shadowrunners who intervened. This has made her respect the shadow community greatly, and is honorbound to them. Once she came of age into adulthood, she was ready to become a shadowrunner herself, both as an act of service and gratitude for the heroes in the shadows that saved her, but also to get a chance of payback against EVO, for mistreating her in childhood.
 
She was stationed at The Forge in Japan for her final sequence of trials and training before she would be fully worthy of becoming a Red Samurai, though being placed there meant she would encounter ...and eventually learn the cold truth herself of the dark rivalry between the Red and Blue Samurai groups. During her training, she would meet other candidates, including getting introduced to the Blue Samurai. However, her performance in her tasks stirred jealousy, envy, and suspicion among the Blue Samurai in general, and many deemed her as potential competition between the Red and Blue's unhealthy rivalry. This led to a group of Blue Samurai entering a shadowy operation, looking for ways to bring her down, and shame her in ways that would deny her honor to ascend into full Red Samurai status. As they researched more about her, they learned her origins from EVO, and sought to betray and frame her.
 
The group of Blue Samurai got into subtle contact with EVO, and arranged a deal to get rid of Minamoto, to return her back to EVO's grasp. EVO, thrilled by this, hired cold-hearted shadowrunners to conduct an operation that would remove Minamoto from Renraku, and stop any chance of her ascending into a full Red Samurai. The Shadowrunners kidnapped Minamoto, drugged her, and used biometric eye scans and fingerprints from her as 'proof' of her committing unspeakable acts of dishonor, then submitted information of these false acts to Renraku. With a highly professional decker among the runner group, all of their tracks were covered, and data was placed exactly as intended to ensure that Minamoto could never prove herself innocent....at least not for a while.
 
With the stage set, Minamoto was not only returned to EVO by the runner team to Seattle, but Renraku now deemed Minamoto as unworthy to become Red Samurai, thanks to the carefully planned framing attempt succeeding. Once Minamoto recuperated from the drugging effects though, she was able to escape EVO's clutches, thanks to her prior training as a Red Samurai candidate. She had attempted to contact her superiors at Renraku, but quickly learned the horrifying truth of what had happened. She had eventually learned it was Blue Samurai interference that orchestrated this mess due to their jealousy over her, fueled further by their intense rivalry... yet she was powerless to do anything about it. Enraged, her greatest honor had been stolen from her, and she believed that the rivalry itself between the Red and Blues had poisoned Renraku at its core.
 
With nowhere else left to go, it left her no other choice but to join the shadows herself. Using whatever funds and resources left she had available, she would organize herself to take up arms for survival on the streets. As she has a Red Samurai upbringing, she maintains a great deal of inspiration from the ideals of a Red Samurai, even though she was never able to officially become one herself. Using her training as a shadowrunner, this is what led her to taking up the runner name called 'Red Wraith'.

Summary

Minamoto "Red Wraith" Kuniko is japanese runner, originally from Neo Tokyo. She was once an experiment from Yamatetsu/EVO, but was freed after an incident involving shadowrunners. Following the samurai's path of the Ronin, she has forged a new life as a Hooder within the shadow community.

Goals

Of many test subjects that were attempted to be created through this process, Minamoto was one of the only few who were successful when 'born', surviving the alterations. Throughout her early life, she was treated as a lab rat for Yamatetsu's (later EVO's) studies on enhanced human genetics. However, during the instability of Yamatetsu's hierarchy in 2065-2066 (before becoming EVO), those in the shadows wished to exploit their vulnerability. One such event was a run involving a team of shadowrunners to infiltrate the facility, to steal valuable data and goods.

As such, realizing her potential value, they offered to free and rescue her from the facility, along with any other test subjects (who were alive and stable) to be freed as well.
