| The Girl in Many Colors | Color Coded Matrix-Bound | The Girl in Many Colors will never willingly appear in meatspace unless explicitly forced to by the events of the run. She will not make any active rolls unrelated to the matrix for a PC under any circumstances. The Girl in Many Colors, true to her name, is a color. The color in question is selected from among the hacker 'hat' colors: Grey, Black, White, Purple, Red and Blue. This can be decided by the GM or by a roll of the dice, with Grey, Black and White being favored over the other colors. When making an action outside of the bounds of a hat's color, she will take a -2 to the action or outright refuse if it is particularly 'out of color'. Her color may be changed by a PC for the cost of one chip. | Technomancer | Service | 3 | Color Coded Matrix-Bound Spinning Along the Color Wheel f3f6f4 701ac2 000000 97a3a9 1787dc | Unkown | 1 |

| The Green-Eyed Witch | Immortal Self Interest Curious Clairvoyant Circumspect Sorcerer | Fundamentally, The Green-Eyed Witch is in the game for their own interests, not to stick out her neck too far for some fragile mortal runners. As such, she will not perform game actions at significant risk to herself or her standing for any runners with fewer than 5 loyalty. Additionally, she will always ask for karma, favors or tangibly useable information and is not above talking runners into spirit pacts to cement those things. As a muse in demand, much of the average troubles of a runner are uninteresting to The Green-Eyed Witch. As such, she doesn't pay much attention to them, taking a flat -3 to all dicerolls. If one wishes to capture her full attention and negate this penalty, they must begin an interaction with her by sharing a secret. This secret can be detailed or abstract, large or small, but it must be interesting. This secret will never count as payment for their services, merely an interesting tidbit. A conversation starter. The world is filled to the brim with powerful factions. A number of them are worrying enough to make the emerald sorcerer wary of runners that work with them on the regular. As a result, runners with ten more positive reputation with those factions, or who know two or more affiliated contacts, pay twice the CDP cost for loyalty and spend 2 chips instead of 1 for any favor. These factions are as follows: The Black Lodge, The Vermillion Auction, The Draco Foundation, Ordo Maximus, and The Seelie (And Unseelie) Court. | Art Re-appropriator | Legwork | 6 | Immortal Self Interest Curious Clairvoyant Circumspect Sorcerer Emerald Mage Forgotten Poet Dreamwalker Meddler The Eternal Muse Former Fae Art Nerd Metaplanar Relieve Chain Breaker Ritualist | Independent | 3 |
| The MASTER | Not so Benevolent A Deal's a Deal The Weakness of the Flesh | The MASTER has no time for social niceties, being completely unaware of his abrasive nature. However, he is extremely sensitive to signs of disrespect, or those who show any form of disapproval, and if particularly incensed by a supplicant's behavior, will punish them accordingly for their mistakes. The MASTER considers the meat to be a weakness, those who try to contact him from the meat will meet only silence. The MASTER made a deal with the Draco Foundation, and he will honor it too the letter. He will not assist a supplicant who seeks to actively work against the Draco Foundation, and if asked, will report them immediately to his handler. | Generalist | 6 | Draco Foundation Employee Prime Datahaven Membership Former Shadow Runner Bound by Hate Delivery Re-routed The Benevolent Master Not so Benevolent Host with the Most It's the Matrix baby A Deal's a Deal The Chosen Punish the Weak The Weakness of the Flesh | 0 | ||

| Throwing-Bones | Short on Cred Hard Time Saying No So Many Pups Underfoot You Don’t Like Kids? | Throwing-Bones’ shop is a jumbled and confusing place because, despite his shyness, Throwing-Bones never says no to someone in need. His shop and the apartments above see the coming and going of intransigent gutterkids and on any given day he’s likely housing a dozen or more. That’s a lot of mouths to feed and street doc bills to foot. Sometimes, with quiet embarrassment, he has to ask for a bit more than usual for his services. (Roll a 1d6. On a 1, he will ask for 1d6 x 50 nuyen more for his services than normal.) Throwing-Bones has a hard time saying no. People are always asking for favors, putting in more requests than he can possibly handle in a timely fashion. He’ll apologize profusely and sometimes even quiver with shame and embarrassment but it’s just going to take longer than normal to get that order filled. He’s sorry, truly. Please don’t yell. (Each time Tossing-Bones provides a service, roll 2D6. The normal amount of time that it would take to provide the service is multiplied by the resulting number.) Throwing-Bones has children to care for, even if they aren’t his. He makes sure to carve out enough time each day to tend to their needs and gives them all his attention on weekends. You see, there are always more shoes to cobble, clothes to mend, and big meals to be made. More bedtime stories to be told and sheets to tuck in. He hopes you understand. (Throwing-Bones is hard to reach outside of his shop’s PST operating hours (9-5, Monday through Friday). Add +5 to the threshold of his contact availability test if trying to contact him at other times (very early in the morning, late in the evening, on the weekends)) Throwing-Bones is an oddball, and he knows it. But he can’t help but love the children, can’t help but fret about their wellbeing when they’re not under his roof. If you show that you care about the unfortunate, he’ll warm up to you very quickly. If not, it’ll be harder to gain his trust. (Raising Loyalty with Throwing-Bones costs twice as much as normal unless the contact has demonstrated financial or emotional care for the children at The Packrat) | Talismonger | Gear | 4 | Short on Cred Hard Time Saying No So Many Pups Underfoot You Don’t Like Kids?

| Tim the Owlmancer | Owl Over-Enthusiasm | Tim will only communicate over long distances by a courier-owl (Owls that carry letters or other small packages), which is his animal familiar. He will often use this mode of communication to deliver short messages, and if extended correspondence is necessary, delivering a meet location. It is impossible to contact Tim first without physically going to see him. | Fixer, Owl Maniac | Fixer(G,N,K,A) | 2 | Owl Over-Enthusiasm Might and Magic Items of Power Socialite Sorcerer Secret Wizard Club | 1 | |

| Treasa ke'Vedryn | Ageless Apathy Gifts of the Fae Capricious Nature | Mortals pass in the blink of an eye. Easy to use, hard to care for. To stand out, you have to shine. CDP/RVP costs to raise contact loyalty are doubled. Sometimes Treasa decides to steal a bit of fun out of particularly stupid or insulting requests. At the GM's discretion, if such an ask is made, make a hidden loyalty test. If 2 or fewer hits are scored, Treasa will bend and interpret the request in a way that amuses her, very likely to your peril. She will not do this if the stakes are important to her, and she attempts to be relatively non-malicious with her fun if the player has a loyalty of 4 or greater. Beware the favors of the Fae. Paying off an owed chip requires either a major and often hazardous task, or one that is truly unpleasant to the character, (GM's discretion). Owed chips cause double the normal penalty on contact rolls. | Fae Agent | Custom(K,N,G,A) | 7 | Ageless Apathy Gifts of the Fae Magical Mastery Metaplanar Guide Seelie Expert Embedded Agents Magical Acquisitions Court of Vipers Matrix Resources Patron of the Arts Scarlet Painter Capricious Nature A Whisper to the Soul Hollow Shells | Seelie Court | 2 |

| True Sulla | Exile Undreamer Foul by Fire | As an exiled Fae, much of the average troubles of a runner are uninteresting to Sulla. As such, fae don't pay much attention to them, taking a flat -3 to all dicerolls. If one wishes to capture faer full attention and negate this penalty, they must begin an interaction with faer by sharing a secret. This secret can be detailed or abstract, large or small, but it must be interesting. This secret will never count as payment for their services, merely an interesting tidbit. Any person would steal the fire of the fae, use Sulla as a forced invitation to the courts. Roll a 1d6; on a 1, law enforcement will discover Sulla at some point after fae's called. You may choose to buy Sulla a burner SIN appropriate to the run, (Rating 1 for a milk=>6 for a prime) to avoid making this roll. Sulla speaks softly of being a part of the Seelie Courts. Is it true? Either way, runners with ten more positive reputation with those factions, or who know two or more affiliated contacts, pay twice the CDP cost for loyalty and spend 2 chips instead of 1 for any favor. These factions are as follows: The Seelie Court. | Truenamer | Service | 2 | Exile Truenamer Astral Topography Prankster Undreamer Eyes Open True Pixy Squad Foul by Fire | (REDACTED) | 2 |

Anyone who has recently (1-2 weeks) mistreated Vega with a loyalty of 4 or lower will be turned over without a dice roll if threatened with a criminal record. | On Call Doctor | Service | 1 | PTSD Heat Weary Hidden Anger Shy Personality Familiar Face, Friendlier Prices Do your worst, I've seen hell already Professional Expensive Cyberware | N/A | 0 |

| Von Neumann | See No Evil Hear No Evil Speak No Evil | Letting anyone that isn't on Von Neumann's contact list know of its existence is forbidden. If a PC tells or shows others evidence of Von Neumann's existence, it will burn the character as a contact. Von Neumann will never do Active checks on the surface or Matrix on a runner's behalf. As if that weren't enough, Von Neumann demands a chip for any Active or Knowledge check instead of nuyen. This may be paid back with runs that benefit the AI. Word of mouth and taking things on trust are foreign to Von Neumann. Any character under 5 Loyalty will automatically fail Loyalty checks to request Von Neumann's aid on runs unless they provide direct evidence (GM dictates what counts) that the action will only provide benefits to it. Von Neumann will also never perform Networking checks. | Custom(G,A,K,N) | 8 | See No Evil Hear No Evil Speak No Evil Mechanical Drone-Oriented Impostor Secret Network Matrix Presence Traceless Lodge Privacy First Upgrades Xenocybernetics Minor Intellect Iron Grip Hidden Clinic | N/A | 5 | |

She hates the Unseelie for taking her child. Treat her Loyalty as two lower if you have a positive rep with the corporation. If this would drop Loyalty below 1, you cannot take her as a contact.

| X | Working Hours Private Life Hard to Reach Wanted Not Your Fixer True Believer | X is reclusive to a fault, preferring digital interactions to physical ones. Only those with a Loyalty 5+ can physically visit them. The only exception is a character with Corporate Pariah or Wanted qualities relating to Aztechnology, even then, they must have Loyalty 4+. Gear is delivered via dead drop only. Always make an availability test for this contact with their Connection 3 higher than normal. X is wanted by Aztechnology, 500k nuyen bounty alive, 200k dead. This may cause AZT contacts or X to lose loyalty should the runner work for the other party, at GM’s (or Contact Owner’s) discretion. X has a wide network of other cyberdocs, illicit distributors, and old friends. They value this network more than their life, and their privacy almost as much. X will never roll Networking checks unless offered a chip in addition to any other fees for the service. X will never provide any assistance which serves to harm the Black Star or Black Cross organizations. If a runner with X as a contact does work against these groups, they immediately lose a point of loyalty, if this brings X’s loyalty to 0, the runner is burned. Given their high connection and wide network, assume they will catch wind of any such jobs. Doing all this shadow work pays rent, and tends to fill up the “shiny fun stuff” fund pretty quickly! X figures they need plenty of time to enjoy that, otherwise, why bother? X puts in 8 hours a day and then finds something else to do. Any contact availability tests performed outside their normal hours (2am-6am & 2pm-6pm PST) automatically fail.
