Elizabeth De Farnesse"What's a few more years?"
"Do not fail me again."
Elizabeth views time differently and has no problem laying low for a long time. Rushing things will require sufficient leverage.
Has a very dim view on those incapable of serving her. Losing loyalty easy if demands are not met.

Lectric Kate"The Corporations want to control you, Man..."
"I hate Aztechnology"
Of all the Corporations, Aztechnology is the one that pisses Kate off the most. As such, even if the pay is good, Kate will never help find gear of the Aztechnology Brand even if it is related to Deckers. Additionally, while you are on a job for Aztechnology, all Rolls that Kate makes for you during the job take a -2 penalty.
If you are on a Run sponsored by a Corporation in some way, there is a chance Kate will find out and mess with you. Roll 2D6 - Loyalty. If the result is 7 or greater, Lectric Kate finds out you are working for "The Man" and will Prank you (as per the Prank Warrior Negative Quality) as she wants to teach you a lesson about working with Corporations, but not actually completely ruin your day. The only way to avoid this is if you are on a Run that that is not for Aztechnology and that has the goal of messing with a Corporation in some way even if it is a job given by a Corporation (the irony amuses Kate).

The MASTERNot 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.

She's not interested in "fraternizing" with runners, viewing most as just business. Good they buy her armors, 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 outfit.

Not so Fast!
Ritz has no loyalty to the Haven. She's got better things to do. She never offers a service for free or reduced price. If you need it faster or better, you pay more--it doesn't matter WHAT you're doing or what your loyalty is.
Ritz is not known for her subtlety. When utilized, roll a 1d6. On a 1, the actions Ritz takes are obvious and are easily traceable back to you.
Ritz gets excited about most of her adventures in Europe and will talk your ear off at any opportunity. When contacting her, the GM secretly rolls a D6. If they roll a 1, Ritz gets lost in the weeds and will ramble for hours if not stopped with a Negotiation (3) or Intimidation (3) test.
Ritz Doesn't know her clients are runners. Therefore, she's not used to people wanting to be more connected with her. Loyalty can only be raised 1 at a time, and each raising requires the character to first complete a run on her behalf.
Ritz doesn't work in the shadows. As such, the lives and contrivances of runners matter little to her. Ritz' loyalty can not be raised above 3, outside of a private run.

Etain was once a Tir Ghost and still has the reputation, she is known to communities both legitimate and criminal, and she scares them all. When having Etain show up or take an active role in dealing with a target or group, roll 1d6. On a result of 1 or 2 the person or group would rather flee than deal with one of the most feared security services on the planet, believing their lives are at risk
For whatever reason Etain is completely loyal to Jeremiah and the Blackmore family as a whole. Trying to act against them or their allies will immediately draw her ire and cause her to treat you as any other hostile force, including informing the family and possibly other forces about your dealings.

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 terrorist, burn you and contact law enforcement.

Sebastian “Perfect Fit” SchmidtBlissfully Unaware
Overworked
Pre-Production Blues
Sebastian doesn’t think that their contacts are runners and doesn’t understand the whole runner thing. He thinks you just need help with costuming for an amateur production or an indie simsense film! If he finds out you are a runner, immediately make a Test of Loyalty. If you fail the Test of Loyalty, he will think you are a terrorist, burn you and contact law enforcement. If you succeed in a Test of Loyalty, he will be willing to listen to you explain yourself and even help you leave the runner's life. You may be able to convince him to associate with the shadows. Contact a GM or Thematics if this happens as it may involve the removal of that tag.
Horizon prints out trid and simsense flicks like they’re printing nuyen (and, well, they are!) Because of his busy schedule Sebastian’s services may take longer. Every time Sebastian provides a service, roll 2D6. The normal amount of time that it would take to provide the service is multiplied by the resulting number.
Sebastian will sell you legal gear and restricted gear, assuming you have the appropriate licenses. When it comes to forbidden gear, like high-quality forged uniforms…Sebastian is going to take some convincing. Characters will need to make one of two Social Tests to convince him to send illegal gear your way: Con (Threshold 3) to spin a yarn about how they need a convincing facsimile for a theater or indie trid film project, or Performance (Threshold 2) to sing or monologue a few lines from the “production”!

Ted DebleBlissfully Unaware
What’s Your Score, Omae?
You’re Bringing My Score Down, Omae!
No Body Count
Ted is a law abiding corporate citizen. If Ted finds out you are a runner, immediately make a Test of Loyalty. If you fail the Test of Loyalty, Ted will think you are a terrorist, burn you and contact law enforcement. If you succeed in a Test of Loyalty, Ted will be willing to listen to you explain yourself and even help you leave the runner's life. You may be able to convince Ted to associate with the shadows but ONLY if the runner has an active P2.1 and a Fame-related quality as a “celebrity shadowrunner”. Contact a GM or Thematics if this happens as it may involve the removal of that tag.
Ted will only work with you if you can prove that you’re serious. Serious people have P2.1. People without P2.1? Anti-social malcontents. Anarchists! Contacts who interact with Ted must have an active P2.1 account. Given his position within the organization, it must be attached to a Fake SIN of Rating 4 or higher. Elsewise he’s like to immediately detect that “Brad Braderson” might not be a real profile...
Ted will deal with you under the table, and at arm's length. Any closer association, given his P2.1 status, will require linking accounts. And Ted can’t risk tanking his score by associating with some weirdo nobody from the Seattle Metroplex. Ted’s Loyalty can only be raised above 1 if the character has a Fame-related positive quality.
Ted is a certifiable creep: a Horizon fanatic, a dutiful thrall to the terrible social media engines that manipulate and shape our world. But he’s not a killer. If Ted passes on information to a character on any P2.1 user that results in them going missing or murdered in an obviously linked fashion, Ted will burn you and contact law enforcement. Tellingly, he has no problems helping Matrix paparazzi or stalkers. But outright violence? This is where he draws the line.

LoputynBored and bratty
Fixated and faulty
Loputyn get's really excited when people call, and will often beg to be a part of the team. When contacting her, the GM secretly rolls a D6. If they roll a 1, Loputyn gets lost in the weeds and will ramble for hours if not stopped with a Negotiation (3) or Intimidation (3) test.
While quite excited to work with runners, Loputyn tends to view interactions less as straightforward requests and more as a group collaboration. She just loves feeling wanted for a change, which she never felt before being stuck in her tiny shop. If not carefully checked, the task or idea asked of her might "evolve" in a direction that she feels is either more effective, interesting or profound. Sometimes she even remembers to call back to update the team without needing to be called back.

Ardella AlosiCowardly
Greenhorn
He is not a very brave individual. Ardella never stands up directly for his believes. He'd rather deal with his problems indirectly.
Due to his upbringing, he never had any real contact, with the downtrodden, or with the shadow community. Most of his experience comes from watching trid shows, and we all know how accurate(Not) a picture those portray. As such he sees shadowrunners, as mostly brutish vigilantists who'd rarely do anything out of the kindness of their own hearth.

Amar "Bash" RuanoCriminal SINner
Slightly Unstable
Bash's stint in jail landed him with a criminal SIN and all the associated difficulties. He meets with his probation officer twice a week and has his location constantly tracked. He can slip the yoke with a fake SIN but only for a few hours at a time. When calling this contact, the GM rolls 1d6. On a 1 he will not answer, as he is currently in holding over a potential violation. On a 2 he will answer, but be pre-occupied with community service and unable to make any active checks. He will also take a -2 to any active checks lasting more than a few hours due to the constraints of his SIN.
Bash, for all his effort to improve, really doesn't take insults well. When a character makes a perceived jab, especially at his strength or intelligence, the GM rolls 1d6. On a 1 or a 2 Bash will have a violent outburst and, if meeting in person, may attack the character in question. He won't use lethal force but he can come pretty damn close. If restrained and/or given some space, he will eventually cool down and apologize.

Midwest NiceURBAN! BRAWL!
DRINK! DRINK!
FUCK! YOU!
Midwest Nice wants to help, he does. He just wants to talk about urban brawl...first. And second. Well he'll get to your questions in a bit but first, did you see last nights match? Roll 1d6 every time he is contacted. Add that number to the minutes it takes before he will address your question via a call, or to the hours it takes for him to acquire gear or perform a service.
Midwest Nice ain't a meta-hater. Unlike many of the Iron Bridge MC that come passing through his bars, he's got no issue with roundears or leafeaters or shorties. But if you want to do business, he needs to look you in the eye and get a real measure of you over drinks. To purchase Midwest Nice outside of a run, the character must travel to Minneapolis-St. Paul and drink with him for a full evening in one of his bars.
Midwest Nice lives up to his name except for most of the time, when he doesn't. He has a volatile temper and will explode at perceived slights against him, his establishments, and especially against urban brawl (yes it's a real sport how dare you.) When contacted a character must succeed at an Etiquette (2) test or have him lose his shit at an imagined insult, which will leave him inaccessible to the character for 24 hours. Luckily his memory is as short as his fuse: after a single day of heavy drinking, he'll forget all about it and be good with you again.

Deniable Assets
Clay doesn’t expect you to live very long. In fact, he doesn’t expect you to make it through this run. That means if he’s helping you on-table, he’ll demand payment while you’re still breathing. If you’re paying Nuyen, that means payment up front. If you’re doing a favor for him, that means you do the work before he gives you anything. Particularly unusual or mitigating circumstances might allow you to pay chips for help, but only very rarely.
It’s nothing personal, he just needs to be able to drop everything and convince people you two never met you at a moment’s notice. Loyalty only gives half as many dice as it normally does (rounded up) when rolling for this contact.

Debt collectors and minor investment solicitations are always on his mind. Sometimes, he needs cash to make ends meet. (Roll a 1d6.

ʔáylxRippocratic Oathʔáylx took an oath when he became a doctor. When he followed it, he was shunned by those who profited from the lives he was told not to save. In spite of this, and his subsequent time in the Shadows, he still adheres to a code of his own; while it is impossible to "do no harm" in the Sixth World, ʔáylx believes that everyone, regardless of who they are, has the right to medical attention regardless of who they are. This has led to him saving the lives of his worst enemies only for them to try to kill him the second they were able, but he still remains strong in his conviction; "As long as life has a way to continue, it is worth saving." When presented with a sick or injured person, ʔáylx will always attempt to aid them in whatever ways are necessary, regardless of the personal cost. If he deems himself unqualified to assist them, he will attempt to notify someone who is, and ensure that the patient remains in a savable state until said someone arrives. He will do anything he can to prevent harm from coming to anyone in his presence, and will only resort to violence if it is to protect a patient; even then, all this does is create another patient. For instance, if he was attempting to save a stab wound victim and the stabber attempted to get past him and finish the job, he might knock said stabber out, but he would still evaluate them for a concussion and give them the according treatment afterwards. If he violently causes the death of a person or believes he has, he will not leave his home for 1d4+1 days; he will also decline all calls from PCs with Loyalty 3 or lower. If his attempted treatments inadvertently cause the death of a patient, this increases to 1d6+1 days. Additionally, he will not give, sell, or administer drugs that are not absolutely necessary for his patients, nor will he use any kind of drug recreationally (with the exception of caffeine; he loves his tea).NoParamedic RipperdocService30

Sebastian “Perfect Fit” SchmidtBlissfully Unaware
Overworked
Pre-Production Blues
Sebastian doesn’t think that their contacts are runners and doesn’t understand the whole runner thing. He thinks you just need help with costuming for an amateur production or an indie simsense film! If he finds out you are a runner, immediately make a Test of Loyalty. If you fail the Test of Loyalty, he will think you are a terrorist, burn you and contact law enforcement. If you succeed in a Test of Loyalty, he will be willing to listen to you explain yourself and even help you leave the runner's life. You may be able to convince him to associate with the shadows. Contact a GM or Thematics if this happens as it may involve the removal of that tag.
Horizon prints out trid and simsense flicks like they’re printing nuyen (and, well, they are!) Because of his busy schedule Sebastian’s services may take longer. Every time Sebastian provides a service, roll 2D6. The normal amount of time that it would take to provide the service is multiplied by the resulting number.
Sebastian will sell you legal gear and restricted gear, assuming you have the appropriate licenses. When it comes to forbidden gear, like high-quality forged uniforms…Sebastian is going to take some convincing. Characters will need to make one of two Social Tests to convince him to send illegal gear your way: Con (Threshold 3) to spin a yarn about how they need a convincing facsimile for a theater or indie trid film project, or Performance (Threshold 2) to sing or monologue a few lines from the “production”!

Ted DebleBlissfully Unaware
What’s Your Score, Omae?
You’re Bringing My Score Down, Omae!
No Body Count
Ted is a law abiding corporate citizen. If Ted finds out you are a runner, immediately make a Test of Loyalty. If you fail the Test of Loyalty, Ted will think you are a terrorist, burn you and contact law enforcement. If you succeed in a Test of Loyalty, Ted will be willing to listen to you explain yourself and even help you leave the runner's life. You may be able to convince Ted to associate with the shadows but ONLY if the runner has an active P2.1 and a Fame-related quality as a “celebrity shadowrunner”. Contact a GM or Thematics if this happens as it may involve the removal of that tag.
Ted will only work with you if you can prove that you’re serious. Serious people have P2.1. People without P2.1? Anti-social malcontents. Anarchists! Contacts who interact with Ted must have an active P2.1 account. Given his position within the organization, it must be attached to a Fake SIN of Rating 4 or higher. Elsewise he’s like to immediately detect that “Brad Braderson” might not be a real profile...
Ted will deal with you under the table, and at arm's length. Any closer association, given his P2.1 status, will require linking accounts. And Ted can’t risk tanking his score by associating with some weirdo nobody from the Seattle Metroplex. Ted’s Loyalty can only be raised above 1 if the character has a Fame-related positive quality.
Ted is a certifiable creep: a Horizon fanatic, a dutiful thrall to the terrible social media engines that manipulate and shape our world. But he’s not a killer. If Ted passes on information to a character on any P2.1 user that results in them going missing or murdered in an obviously linked fashion, Ted will burn you and contact law enforcement. Tellingly, he has no problems helping Matrix paparazzi or stalkers. But outright violence? This is where he draws the line.

LoputynBored and bratty
Fixated and faulty
Loputyn get's really excited when people call, and will often beg to be a part of the team. When contacting her, the GM secretly rolls a D6. If they roll a 1, Loputyn gets lost in the weeds and will ramble for hours if not stopped with a Negotiation (3) or Intimidation (3) test.
While quite excited to work with runners, Loputyn tends to view interactions less as straightforward requests and more as a group collaboration. She just loves feeling wanted for a change, which she never felt before being stuck in her tiny shop. If not carefully checked, the task or idea asked of her might "evolve" in a direction that she feels is either more effective, interesting or profound. Sometimes she even remembers to call back to update the team without needing to be called back.

Amar "Bash" RuanoCriminal SINner
Slightly Unstable
Bash's stint in jail landed him with a criminal SIN and all the associated difficulties. He meets with his probation officer twice a week and has his location constantly tracked. He can slip the yoke with a fake SIN but only for a few hours at a time. When calling this contact, the GM rolls 1d6. On a 1 he will not answer, as he is currently in holding over a potential violation. On a 2 he will answer, but be pre-occupied with community service and unable to make any active checks. He will also take a -2 to any active checks lasting more than a few hours due to the constraints of his SIN.
Bash, for all his effort to improve, really doesn't take insults well. When a character makes a perceived jab, especially at his strength or intelligence, the GM rolls 1d6. On a 1 or a 2 Bash will have a violent outburst and, if meeting in person, may attack the character in question. He won't use lethal force but he can come pretty damn close. If restrained and/or given some space, he will eventually cool down and apologize.

Midwest Nice wants to help, he does. He just wants to talk about urban brawl...first. And second. Well he'll get to your questions in a bit but first, did you see last nights match? Roll 1d6 every time he is contacted. Add that number to the minutes it takes before he will address your question via a call, or to the hours it takes for him to acquire gear or perform a service.
Midwest Nice ain't a meta-hater. Unlike many of the Iron Bridge MC that come passing through his bars, he's got no issue with roundears or leafeaters or shorties. But if you want to do business, he needs to look you in the eye and get a real measure of you over drinks. To purchase Midwest Nice outside of a run, the character must travel to Minneapolis-St. Paul and drink with him for a full evening in one of his bars.
Midwest Nice lives up to his name except for most of the time, when he doesn't. He has a volatile temper and will explode at perceived slights against him, his establishments, and especially against urban brawl (yes it's a real sport how dare you.) When contacted a character must succeed at an Etiquette (2) test or have him lose his shit at an imagined insult, which will leave him inaccessible to the character for 24 hours. Luckily his memory is as short as his fuse: after a single day of heavy drinking, he'll forget all about it and be good with you again.

Particularly unusual or mitigating circumstances might allow you to pay chips for help, but only very rarely.

ʔáylxRippocratic Oathʔáylx took an oath when he became a doctor. When he followed it, he was shunned by those who profited from the lives he was told not to save. In spite of this, and his subsequent time in the Shadows, he still adheres to a code of his own; while it is impossible to "do no harm" in the Sixth World, ʔáylx believes that everyone, regardless of who they are, has the right to medical attention regardless of who they are. This has led to him saving the lives of his worst enemies only for them to try to kill him the second they were able, but he still remains strong in his conviction; "As long as life has a way to continue, it is worth saving." When presented with a sick or injured person, ʔáylx will always attempt to aid them in whatever ways are necessary, regardless of the personal cost. If he deems himself unqualified to assist them, he will attempt to notify someone who is, and ensure that the patient remains in a savable state until said someone arrives. He will do anything he can to prevent harm from coming to anyone in his presence, and will only resort to violence if it is to protect a patient; even then, all this does is create another patient. For instance, if he was attempting to save a stab wound victim and the stabber attempted to get past him and finish the job, he might knock said stabber out, but he would still evaluate them for a concussion and give them the according treatment afterwards. If he violently causes the death of a person or believes he has, he will not leave his home for 1d4+1 days; he will also decline all calls from PCs with Loyalty 3 or lower. If his attempted treatments inadvertently cause the death of a patient, this increases to 1d6+1 days. Additionally, he will not give, sell, or administer drugs that are not absolutely necessary for his patients, nor will he use any kind of drug recreationally (with the exception of caffeine; he loves his tea).NoParamedic RipperdocService30
