Character Information

Summary

An infected once-soldier-now-runner working as an employee for another runner named Manashoe at the Arcane Eye PI firm.

Goals

Repay the kindness given to him by Manashoe.

Figure out what the hell to do.

Survive.

Background

Born in San Francisco, California in 2062, Marcus Yoshimura grew up a relatively normal life (for an oni) until a few days before his seventh birthday. Awakening as an adept, he was entered into a program meant to educate those like him what it meant to be what they are. While not always on the best of terms, his father called his sister for help. She was an adept like Marcus, and for a few years she taught him outside of school. Upon reaching maturity, Marcus chose to enter the military.

Years passed, and eventually Yoshimura and his squad was tasked to neutralize and secure a terrorist cell and its cargo during the midst of night. The situation changed. Communication was down, and his squad found themselves under attack by an infected. During the conflict, it tore into his neck and he went unconscious. Waking up, he found himself back at base in the medbay infected with vampirism. Fearing what would happen, he fled. Upon losing his pursuer, he stole a truck and a commlink and called his aunt.

Meeting her in person, he explained the situation and asked for help. Now married, she couldn't afford to get as hands-on as she might've once done, but she knew people who could help. Old friends of hers. Burning his SIN and adopting a new identity as Eric Aoyama, he made way for Seattle to hide out and stay low. Months passed before he found himself in a rough spot. He hadn't been consuming essence, barely even drank blood, when a group of thugs in an alleyway had cornered him. Frenzying, he killed them, but was near death himself. A runner named Manashoe found him, had him taken to Farraday's Clinic, and over the next few months befriended him, employed him, and helped him find housing.

That wasn't all Manashoe did, however. A job went wrong, and a group of Cutters tracked the runner back to his PI firm where the two worked. After they dealt with the threat, Aoyama convinced Manashoe to let him join. Taking the alias Wayfarer, he began to run as well. Over the next year the crew grew to be larger than just the two of them. In large this would be due to Wayfarer's hope to "pay it forward," signing on his own financially-troubled uncle, a SURGED stray, an internet troll rigger, and a battle-crazed warrior in an attempt to give a bit of that kindness he received at his lowest point.

Narrative Significant Qualities

Positive

Infected (Vampire): A blessing and a curse.

Negative

Day Job (Arcane Eye PI): Though I can never truly pay him back, I am truly grateful to Manashoe for giving me another life and allowing me to work for him.

Flashbacks, Insomnia: Sometimes, when I close my eyes, I see my comrades all over again, in that brief encounter. Their blood. The smell of iron. The smell of fear. I'm so sorry. Please forgive me.

Wanted (UCAS - 50,000 Nuyen): When it came out I was infected, I fled in fear of what I was, and what they might do to me. It seems they want me back, though I don't think I want to find out why.
