Character Information

Summary

An ex radical who was forced out of her fascist group after undergoing a sudden transformation. She struggles with the idea that she has become the very thing she fought to destroy. Thankfully, after a brush with death, she was taken in by some kind souls that caused her to question her past beliefs. Now, trying to turn over a new leaf and leave her old life behind her, she looks to carve out a name for herself and dismantle the regime of her old organization, ending the oppression that she herself helped to cultivate in the first place, as a form of repentance.

Goals

- Learning how to cope with her transformation, fighting years of indoctrination to better herself and her future.

- Finding new family, maybe love, finding a new purpose. She's never really had the opportunity to think for herself before.

- First motive is making money, getting stronger, becoming the best of the best when it comes to the matrix. Accomplishing anything that could make her even an inkling more untouchable by those who would wish to hurt her.

- Supporting Wayfarer and Oracle to repay them for their hospitality and kindness, and overcoming her prejudice along the way.

- She secretly craves control, with the idea that it would help her protect herself.

Background

While Born in Neo-Tokyo, Yu and her parents moved to California around the late 60's, the latter looking for work in a political climate similar to that of their homeland. They were good parents to Yu, albeit stuck in their ways. They were majorly xenophobic, believing that their struggles to find work stemmed from not having the perceived advantages of various metahumans. Eventually, growing up in such a household, these ideas and prejudices were absorbed by Yu. The deciding factor, however, was an incident that occurred in 2070 when Yu was in her mid teens. Whilst she and her parents were attending a political rally, the meta-humans in the audience suddenly began to work up into a frenzy. Unbeknownst to Yu, this incident was perpetrated by a chapter of the Humanis Policlub who'd flooded the stands with gas. The bloodshed that resulted was brutal enough to make headlines for weeks, Yu's parents being a casualty of the incident.

In the middle of the carnage, Yu was discovered by the very group that instigated it all. Humanis had sent a team in to clear out the remainder of the meta-humans, to make a "daring" rescue of any survivors. The chapter took Yu in as both refugee and recruit, and with a newfound hatred burning in her gut, Yu was more than eager to play the part. It was they who taught her how to fight, and she became rather deft with long-range rifles and firearms. Not only that, but she was a decent decker as well, occasionally tasked with keeping Humanis records and information under firm lock and key from various Shadowrunners. She'd become a valuable soldier, or at-least so she thought until recently.

She'd been sent on a job in Seattle to cover the exit of an old warehouse. They'd been told that a meta-human run gang was using to distribute highly addictive drugs to destitute human vagrants. As a hormonal young-adult hyped up on anti-trog rhetoric and propaganda, she'd signed up immediately. She was to take out any stragglers and watch the back of her team when they made their escape. The mission was supposed to be a quick in and out, destroy the drugs and escape... These were the words that bounced around the inside of her mind when she watched the building explode. The ground shook as she watched figures flee from the embers, too stunned to remember to shoot. Even worse, she watched the ground crack as the simple tremor caused by the explosion turned into a full on earthquake! The warehouse sat somewhere above a leyline that had been disturbed by the blast. Her commlink crackled with static, the demands of her team before she was wracked with a sudden pain and had doubled over. Inexplicably, she could feel her body seizing, white hot fire shooting through her system from head to toe. The pain was indescribable, she could hear the sound of crackling as her body changed. The agony lasted only moments before Yu had passed out from the trauma, fading to the sounds of her squad screaming over their comms.

When she'd awoken, all was quiet. She'd called out to her team over the link to no reply. What was left of the warehouse was naught but cinders that had been long since doused by the rain that poured. She felt different, but couldn't explain exactly why- until she'd returned to Home Base to a shocking discovery. They were shocked to see her, in more ways than one.

She was a freak, sporting the very alien features that she'd come to feel disdain for in her time since joining Humanis. What's more, her team had yet to return or make contact- now presumed dead by the same metahumans she'd been tasked to help eliminate. Though she had served them obediently for many years, going as far as to consider them found family, they were outraged. Casting her out, and looking for a scapegoat to take their anger out on, a few of her former comrades had turned their weapons on her and gave chase. Hunted down like a dog, she ran as far as her body would let her after the painful experience. Able to lose them by tossing herself in a canal, the currents took her far and down- eventually landing her roughly into a trash heap in the Ork Underground where she was found by a perplexing duo, an Oni named Wayfarer, and an Elf that went by Oracle.

While she was hesitant to trust metahumans, she was reminded of what she now was when she noticed her reflection as they lead her home. Her ears were pointed, sticking from the top of her head, she had a fuzzy tail and a thin layer of fur over her skin. She was a mess, a freak, and at that moment, Oracle and Wayfarer were now all that she had... She quietly relented, eventually informing them that she was recently made homeless and destitute, leaving out the details of her former affiliation. In return, they taught her about the Underground, Wayfarer taught her how to survive on her own.

From then to now, she has since made a name for herself as a Shadowrunner, "Miut". Spending most of her skills in efforts to help Oracle and Wayfarer with their business to pay them back for their hospitality. To this day she keeps her former allegiance a secret, and has gradually come to accept that her former views and beliefs as wrong. Now struggling with the same prejudice she delivered onto others in the past, she looks to correct her past sins by fighting the same oppression. Hopefully, in time, she can leave her old life behind her and start anew.

Narrative Significant Qualities

Positive

Changeling (Class II Surge) : The transformation that started her journey into self-improvement. This was what got her chased out of Humanis and nearly killed despite her service to the group. She's sensitive about her features, self conscious about her differences, and tries to hide them when she can.

Negative

Phobia (Uncommon, Moderate) (Prison Cells) : She's seen what Humanis members do to those they capture. Knowing that she's now on the other side of the conflict has given her no shortage of reasons to fear being locked in a cage.

Insomnia (Basic) : Terrified that the chapter of Humanis that chased her out will one day return to finish the job, she tends to have difficulty falling asleep knowing that she's never truly safe.

Appearance

A 5'4" woman with features reminiscent of a domestic feline. She is albino, and can be identified easily by the tan stripes that run across her face and skin where visible. Miut is skinny and meek in physical appearance, usually slouching and somewhat unkempt. Dark circles under her eyes suggest a lack of sleep.

Clothing

Usually baggy tech-wear. Being self-conscious about her features has lead her to try and obscure them. For her ears, she usually covers them with hoods and caps when worn casually. For her tail, she hides it beneath long jackets that obscure her backside. Overall her dress can be typically found unflattering to her form.

In recent days, she's slowly stopped hiding her features and makes small adjustments to her clothes to let them breathe.

Matrix Persona

A featureless Mannequin-esque figure with her cat-like features such as her ears and her tail.

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)
Changeling (Class II SURGE)	She struggles with the aspects of her transformation daily, such as being cold-blooded and needing to regulate her body temperature. Her temper has also grown a lot shorter (Berserk Negative Quality)
Ex-Humanis	She's done all she can to obscure the fact that she was part of this organization. Given that her only friends now are metahumans, she constantly worries what will happen if they ever find out.
Big Oops	The "Metahuman weapons stock" she and her former crew had been sent to destroy was actually a refuge for destitute metahumans. Miut doesn't know this, if ever discovered it would be interesting to explore how she would react to the knowledge that she played a part in the murder of innocent men, women and children. Especially after she had become homeless and destitute herself after being kicked out of Humanis.

Miut's theme

Oracle - A great decker, and a better friend. Saved our skin more times than I care to think about, certainly. Oh, and Miut, if you're reading this: Don't forget to drink water today! That sugar-sludge you keep in your fridge is as bad as drinking salt water. Blech! <3
