Character Information

Summary

Hazard is an ex-Ares Fixer and Mr. Johnson. Though due to a bad run he was... terminated. Now out on the streets he goes to the only life he has ever really known that of a shadowrunner, but now he is on the other side of the table. He is cybered out to the gills and has had combat training through Ares. He is a very attractive and charming man, and sometimes that goes to his head. He doesn't like to let it on but he is addicted to dreamchips.

Goals

He wants to make enough money that he can live the life style (high) that he was accustomed to before he was burned by Ares.

He is not so high minded that he has some grand goal. All he knows is the shadows and he is looking to strike it big once.

Background

Owen Van Beek was a sinless kid from the slums. He lived his life like most children in the slums, doing things he shouldn't be and getting away with it. That all changed at the age of 16 when he was admitted to Ares Macrotechnology's Youth Uplift Program. They informed him that they would be adding 'ware to help him adjust to this new life style. The program was a way for them to experiment on younger children without to much worry of what happened to the kids. Owen didn't care. He saw this as a chance to better his life for good and he thought it was well worth the risk. Each child was assessed after their surgeries and placed in the job that fit them best based on their new abilities. Owen was assigned as a fixer and Johnson for Ares.

Back to the Shadows

Owen sits at a bar at the upscale Elbow Room. He looks at the elven bartender, "Drek... I cant believe I am burned... This is Fragged man."

"Don't worry about it Owen I am sure that it will all work out." Says Buddy in what is probably his softest tone.

"I just did what Frank told me too, I hired those runners to get that shipment under his orders. Now they are chunky salsa... A dragons egg, can you fraggin believe it Buddy? Never mess with dragons Buddy... What a mess." Owen looks defeated as he takes a drink of bourbon. "I know someone had to be made an example of, but why the frag did it have to be me?! I mean they killed our runners and kept their egg. They could have taken it easy on me not completely burn me! Fraggin Frank got off scott free said it was my fault, went rogue he says. Haha, I would have done the same. He said he did me a favor, said he should just kill me."

"Your life might be better now, who knows. Being a Johnson sucks, you always were looking over your shoulder." the elf bartender seems a bit distracted to due to some runners coming in, he points them to the private room in the back.

Looking over his shoulder at the runners Owen says "Maybe I will do that... I mean, I hired runners for years, plus I went through the Ares Tactical training, and I have been a deniable asset this whole time, they never gave me a SIN those slitches."

"You, a runner? Weren't you always saying that if those runners had half a brain in their skull they would work for a mega like you?" Buddy say chuckling.

"That was then this is now Buddy... that was then this is now. Think about it I have been doing this for over a decade now. I know the ins and outs of the shadows. It should be pretty easy for me to start. They let me keep the 'ware they put in so I am over half way there." Owen gets excited.

"Don't know if you should be so confident and loud you might have some enemies here." Buddy looks around nervously.

"I am going to call Johnny and get some gear that I need... I was saving that for rent, but you gotta spend money to make money. Then I'll give Watchtower a call she should be able to get me with a team." Owen stares into his glass "I need a name Mr. Johnson wont work anymore.... Blitz, Bang, Demo?...." Owen starts trailing off.

"You know how dangerous it is right? I know you hired runners before, just think about all the times they didnt come back. Its not like you get Hazard Pay like you use to when you were a corpo." Buddy states concerningly to Owen.

"That's it! Hazard Pay I like it... to long though just Hazard will work. People will think twice before fraggin with a dude named Hazard." Hazard says chuckling.

"Owen yo-" the elf gets cut off

"Its Hazard now." Hazard says with a smile.

The elf inhales slowly "Hazard you should really get home and sleep on this. You can probably do something else with your skills, something more legal."

Hazard drops a credstick on the counter "You know I don't sleep. I will think about it." he says as he slowly gets up from the bar.

"See you later... Hazard." Buddy says with a chuckle.

"See you soon Buddy, real soon."

Character Plot Hooks

Here are characteristics of the character that GMs may take advantage of to add complications to runs, or to otherwise use when in use. If you want to use them in unrelated to runs, please ask first.

Aspect	Information	Related Run(s)
Not just working for the Man	He has realized that he had changed working for The Man for so long, heck he was The Man. Is making an effort to be like he was when he grew up in the barrens. Not everything is a business transaction.
'Ware gettin to me	Hazard feels like his 'ware is making him less human. He is having a hard time empathizing with people. Due to his job he needs to make a decision. More 'ware or trying to get better in other ways.
BTL Dreamin'	He loves the feeling of BTLs. It feels more real than real. He uses BTLs of people that have normal lives. He never had a normal life or anything close. That is a secret goal of his, is to marry and retire and start a family.
Ares Hunts More than Bugs	Ares could or could not be actively looking for him. He is a potential source for a major leak of Ares inner workings.
Touristvillian	Since he lives in Touristville and because of the nice digs he wears he is pretty well known there. He treats Touistville as his stomping grounds.
