===Summary===
===Summary===
Scurvy is an a opportunistic, mercenary blade adept. He's less profesional than most on the Haven due to his background of being pirate.  
An opportunistic blade adept, decent with automatic weaponry, and pretty strong swimmer. Has a grapple hand and a bulky partial cyberleg crammed with fun stuff you can't replicate with Awakened mojo. He's here to get rich/live fast/have fun.
<br>


Decent with blades and automatic weaponry. Has a grapple hand and a bulky partial cyberleg crammed with fun stuff.
===Goals===
<br>
► Get filthy stinking rich.


(This sums up what I was listening to when I built him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4LNJfFjEvw)
► Go with the flow, the flow being mostly dictated by his mentor spirit, the Sea (who can shut off his foci).


===Quests===
► [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dW2Xdp2HKc Acquire a boat] so people will stop taunting him about not having one.
► Get filthy stinking rich/drunk.


► Aquire (Steal) a boat. Maybe multiple boats. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dW2Xdp2HKc)
► Following that last goal: Cease being so damn sprawl-bound. Seattle's been good, but Scurvy does not appreciate being so restricted. He'll need contacts.


► Find that guy.
► Be a loyal member of Doris's motley "crew", such as it is. (The Sea says to do so or else!)


► Acquire the Crystal Coconut.
► Find the Crystal Coconut.


==Background==
==Background==
Ork smuggler turned pirate/low-grade mercenary from down the Caribbean way, leaning on his adept powers to stay one step ahead. Swung around that area, moving in and out of the CAS while getting shot at and generally having a good time. Lost an arm and then leg at some point, possibly to a crocodile; his stories are never consistent. Fully embraced the ancient stereotypical peg-legged pirate jokes after having to spend some time with primitive prosthetics (he has since upgraded to someone else's leg). He doesn't seem particularly peturbed or melancholy about the disruption his essense and adept abilities, since he lives fast and enjoys what his 'ware enables so much, though he has a lingering fear of big scaly lizards. His mentor spirit, the Sea, has been guiding him for most of his life after he nearly drowned as a child. Yo ho ho! Surely this must be at least partially ironic.  
Born in Miami (probably), this ork left home pretty quick to be a smuggler down the Caribbean way. Shortly after, he Awakened and turned full-on pirate, leaning on his adept powers to stay one step ahead. The crew swung around the League, moving in and out of the CAS while getting shot at and generally having a good time. The Sea took an iterest in him after he almost drowned and was marooned on a deserted sandspit. He was part of a fairly established crew, but not one of particular fame/notoriety.
<br>


Caught too much heat, and had to lay for a while and lost contact with his original crew. Drifted into Seattle ostensibly look for some dead crewmate's nephew/son or something, but he doesn't seem to be in a rush. After meeting Alessa P in the Daze, he's entered the shadowrunning scene proper to make some nuyen and scratch that thrill-seeking itch.
He lost an arm and then leg at some point on the job, possibly to a crocodile; his stories are never consistent. As a result he had to get them replaced with cheap cyberware. He's gotten over the essense loss, and is no longer particularly peturbed or melancholy about the dimishment of his adept abilities. In fact, he rather enjoys what his augmentations enable, and his limb replacements have allowed him to take other fun biotech augmentations. However, he does have some lingering fear of big scaly lizards.
 
At some point something happened, and he shipped up to Seattle with nothing but the clothes on his back and the location of the Daze. With Alessa P's help, he managed to get used to this Johnson thing and avoid being too flashy.  His reasons for leaving the pirate life are unclear, but one thing's for sure: His time as a Haven runner has been good to him. Since rolling up to the Emerald Sprawl, Scurvy's traded-in his old dead man's leg and unlocked more magical ability.

Character Information

Summary

An opportunistic blade adept, decent with automatic weaponry, and pretty strong swimmer. Has a grapple hand and a bulky partial cyberleg crammed with fun stuff you can't replicate with Awakened mojo. He's here to get rich/live fast/have fun.

Goals

► Get filthy stinking rich.

► Go with the flow, the flow being mostly dictated by his mentor spirit, the Sea (who can shut off his foci).

► Acquire a boat so people will stop taunting him about not having one.

► Following that last goal: Cease being so damn sprawl-bound. Seattle's been good, but Scurvy does not appreciate being so restricted. He'll need contacts.

► Be a loyal member of Doris's motley "crew", such as it is. (The Sea says to do so or else!)

► Find the Crystal Coconut.

Background

Born in Miami (probably), this ork left home pretty quick to be a smuggler down the Caribbean way. Shortly after, he Awakened and turned full-on pirate, leaning on his adept powers to stay one step ahead. The crew swung around the League, moving in and out of the CAS while getting shot at and generally having a good time. The Sea took an iterest in him after he almost drowned and was marooned on a deserted sandspit. He was part of a fairly established crew, but not one of particular fame/notoriety.

He lost an arm and then leg at some point on the job, possibly to a crocodile; his stories are never consistent. As a result he had to get them replaced with cheap cyberware. He's gotten over the essense loss, and is no longer particularly peturbed or melancholy about the dimishment of his adept abilities. In fact, he rather enjoys what his augmentations enable, and his limb replacements have allowed him to take other fun biotech augmentations. However, he does have some lingering fear of big scaly lizards.

At some point something happened, and he shipped up to Seattle with nothing but the clothes on his back and the location of the Daze. With Alessa P's help, he managed to get used to this Johnson thing and avoid being too flashy. His reasons for leaving the pirate life are unclear, but one thing's for sure: His time as a Haven runner has been good to him. Since rolling up to the Emerald Sprawl, Scurvy's traded-in his old dead man's leg and unlocked more magical ability.
