This is an example negative aspect. You can write the fluff text here. Be sure to clear the negative aspect with thematics. If you do not wish to have a negative aspect, feel free to delete this section. +
Living a fairly nomadic lifestyle on the edge of Salish makes contacting Beastmaster troublesome at times. +
She's not interested in "fraternizing" with runners, viewing most as just business. Good they buy her guns, she doesn't mind selling them even forbidden ones as long as they pay, but more? Try harder, chummer. Her Loyalty cannot be raised above 3 outside of a private run advancing her career or getting her an interesting gun. +, Betty just doesn't care about most runners enough to risk a healthy balance between work and private life - after all, it is paramount if you don't want to burn out. She tunes out of business matters outside of normal PST office hours (9-5, Monday through Friday). Add +5 to the threshold of her contact availability test if trying to contact her at other times (very early in the morning, late in the evening, on the weekends). Prepare for much passive aggressiveness even if she does pick up. +, Betty is an Ares yes-woman through and through. Her primary focus is her career… err, ''the success of the company!'' She will not accept requests obviously against Ares Macrotechnology or Weapons World (GM discretion), and might request "favors" (chips) in return for her help if your Loyalty with her is 3+. +
Benjamin does not get paid enough for this shit. He's a big strong adept but for some reason, no one fucking pays him enough. If, at the GM's fiat, he's placed in situation's that he's not getting paid enough for, he will just fucking leave. Situations might involve getting shot with multiple bursts of APDS or overwhelming magical threats. If you pay him enough (6000 is a good start), he'll fight harder and stick around. +
Bernie was severely wounded in his last fight with a bug queen and now only has control of left arm. Because of this he rarely leaves his den and is almost defenseless when he does. +

While quite excited to work with fellow runners, he tends to view interactions less as straightforward requests and more as a group collaboration. After all, he knows what's up. If not carefully checked, the task or idea asked of him might "evolve" in a direction that he feels is either more effective, interesting or profound. Sometimes he even remembers to call back to update the team without needing to be called back. +, His berserk button is called Biggie Bun, his Syrian hamster. Requesting anything, roll an Etiquette test with the threshold of 6 - Loyalty, minimum 1. If you fail, he believes that his pet was slighted and refuses to help you without owing them (this is important) a chip or paying the relevant service costs where the threshold is equal to your missing hits. +
Biggie Cheesecake is the largest earner in all senses of the term. Always make an Availability Test for this Contact with their Connection +3 more than normal. +
Always do an availability test for this contact with their connection +3 than normal. +

Black Paladin does bounty work all over the world - there's no guarantee he's going to be nearby. Always do an availability test for this contact with their connection +3 than normal. +
Sometimes he can sneak his way onto the good deck! Sometimes he can't. Roll a d6 - On a result of three or lower, any checks related to Matrix activity suffer a -2 dice pool penalty. +
He's easily insulted and generally rude, so if he detects even the slightest slight against his business, his face, his family, his cow, you name it, he refuses to deal with you until you apologize. It ought to include an apology gift of cigarettes - the fouler, the better. Note that the refusal to do business with you does NOT mean he stops talking to you. He just turns the rudeness Up to Eleven and gleefully disses you. +
BobbieJo does not play well with others. Increase social thresholds by 1 and treat any social glitch with BobbieJo as a critical glitch. +
This is someone who doesn't think that their contacts are runners. If they find out you are a runner, immediately make a test of loyalty. If you fail the test of loyalty, they will think you are a criminal, burn you and attempt to bring you to justice. If you succeed in a test of loyalty, they will be willing to listen to you explain yourself. This aspect is unlikely to apply to characters who have the Guanyin quality. +
Boy loves to follow those who have him as a contact, though he will not lift a finger unless you give him a chip first. +
Billy’s Bratwursts is open during the entire dock shift, give or take 30 on each end. Treat his Connection as if it were three higher for the purposes of Contact Availability Tests. +
