Character Information

Summary

Meatshield, or "Shield" for short, is a hulking biosculpted troll. Their body is made of corded muscle and natural weapons, covered in scars that glow with a soft pink luminescence. They were raised by Aztechnology as both a test subject and a soldier, sent to do the corporation's dirty work in Amazonia. They escaped that life with the help of their fixer, and now seek to atone for the things they've done. They're struggling to balance a desire for peace with a body built for war, and figure that the best way to do that is to put everything into protecting their fellow shadowrunners.

Goals

• Minimize casualties
• Win the approval of their fixer, Axolotl
• Find redemption for their time in Amazonia
• Explore the parts of life that they never got to experience

Background

Subject 14, or "Meatshield" as they've come to be called, doesn't remember how they came into the possession of Aztechnology. Whether they were kidnapped, sold, or simply born into it, their natural constitution made them the perfect candidate for the company's bioengineering program. From a very young age they were forcibly augmented, sculpted and grown into an organic war machine. Their childhood was deprived of almost anything one would consider "human", just an endless cycle of sterile labs and muddy training fields. When they reached maturity they were sent to fight on the Amazonian border. It was a traumatizing and lonely experience; their squadmates more handlers than comrades, and viewed Shield as an unnatural monster. For the most part, Shield was inclined to agree.

Aztechnology isn't in the habit of relinquishing assets, especially not ones as expensive, or effective, as Shield. Were it not for Axolotl, they would have lived their whole life as a corporate slave. Axolotl was an Amazonian agent with a deep spy network inside Aztechnology; she saw Shield's potential as an asset, and used her influence to organize an escape. She won Shield's trust (which, admittedly, isn't very hard to do) by treating them like an actual person; promising a chance to redeem themselves by serving a worthwhile cause. Shield was smitten, and looked up to Axolotl the kind of fervent admiration usually reserved for cult leaders.
