Overview

Among the various tribes belonging to the Dayak Council of Borneo and Sulawesi, there was one with a unique gift. This tribe is known as the Surya tribe, and they possessed a natural adaptation to bioware and cyberware depending on the individual. Of course not every member possessed this gift but it was common enough to be noticed. And noticed they were by Renraku, the primary corporation allowed any influence in the Dayak Council. Despite their repeated efforts the tribe did not seem receptive to their propositions so they concocted a plan. To grow a PTT to grow alongside the tribe and bring them more into their own hands. Able to get genetic information from one willing tribe member named Darma Widjaja. With this material the woman who would later became known as Hantu was "born." Granted many were born before her to ensure the perfect subject but best she not be made aware of this. Most if not all of her ork/oni characteristics scrubbed away to have her resemble a somewhat normal, albeit tall, human woman.

Darma raised the would be Hantu as his own daughter, however the Surya tribe grew suspicious of her and she would be seen as a somewhat outcast among them despite her exceptional abilities. Herself being far stronger and more accurate with any weapon that was put in front of her that her peers. Her capabilities in stealth also being second to none. Regardless though her only solace amongst them would be the occasional check-ins with Renraku personnel who would treat her as "family." However she was still a member of the Surya tribe and they acknowledged this fact if begrudgingly. Wanting them to fully accept her however the PTT would head out into the world as a Shadowrunner, an occupation she had only heard of in rumours and stories. And while shaky at first seeing the world as a whole, she slowly grew to it and picked up the alias of Hantu. A word ascribed to spirit or ghost in her native tongue. And with her capabilities and corporate backing she became a legend amidst the shadows. Hailed as being among the best snipers in the continent of Asia if not the world. Donating next to every nuyen, peso, pound, dollar, whatever she was paid with back to her tribe. Letting it be known she did it for them.

This continued for several years till upon her eventual return Hantu was far more respected. After some talks with the tribes people and leader they now welcomed her with open arms. And thusly her sphere of influence grew, allowing Renraku to fully utilize the tribes capabilities. Enhancing nearly all of their members with some degree of their own cyber or bioware. The tribe as a result of this and Hantu adopted a new form of Animism, believing that there was a form of life within the machine, within the technology of the sixth world. A potent life Hantu was born with. Accepting this life into themselves and their own bodies. Hantu during this time would continue to teach her tribe what she learned as a runner. The tactics and strategies her and her fellow runners used to attain victory in countless runs. Eventually a large group of individuals who followed her teachings would still wish to follow her even after her lessons were done. Individuals of other tribes eventually also flocking to her side. And a group of warriors was formed, taking upon an ancient 5th world name of warrior, Hantu and her followers would become known as the Ksatria. An elite fighting force in service to the native people and by extension the council. All the while Renraku simply smiled as their project was a brilliant success.

Aspects Description

Aspect	Description
Loyal to the end.	Due to her upbringing, the thing that has kept her around is her loyalty and faith in those that follow and support her. And anyone that would go against them goes against her. Hantu will not fulfill any request that would harm or endanger the Dayak Council, Ksatria, or Renraku. In addition anyone that has negative rep with Renraku applies that penalty when Hantu is performing tasks for them. If they have negative rep with the Dayak council, she burns them immediately.
Slow to trust	Several external groups has tried to take advantage of her homeland and the people there in. Causing her to be jaded as a result. Thankfully she is open to trusting others but it will take time and effort for her to welcome them with open arms. Hantu's loyalty cannot be raised above 3 outside run rewards.
Amongst the shadows	Having lived amongst the shadows for a portion of her life, she has learnt MANY things about them and has met MANY people therein. Keeping her ear close to the ground even now, curious to see where they have gone since her absence. +2 to any checks made regarding the Shadow Community and shadowrunners therein.
For my people	Hantu above all else is loyal to her tribe, the people that call her land home, and those that would see it prosper. Wishing to protect its lush greenery and culture that thrives even in the face of chaos caused by the sixth world. And if something were to help it, she would do whatever it takes to secure it. +2 to any checks made that would aid the Dayak Council, Renraku, or the Ksatria.
Precision at its core	Being amongst the best marksman and snipers on the planet. Hantu has a fascination and particular interest in long-ranged weaponry. +2 to any check involving sniper rifles, or other equipment with the same range.
Manufactured Family	Being among their most successful projects Renraku has a lot of interest in Hantu and if she wishes them to do something in turn, they rarely object. +2 to any checks involving Renraku Computer Systems.
Red Honor	Despite their prejudice against her, the Red Samurai have worked with Hantu plenty of times over the years. Gaining her a degree of respect amongst their ranks. It is begrudging at best but at least it still allows her to call upon them and favors when the need arises. +2 to any checks involving the Red Samurai.
The council will decide your fate.	Having gained massive influence within her home territory and commanding among its most elite PMCs, while not being a member, the Dayak Council sees Hantu as a great ally and as a result is likely to do favors she may request. +2 to any check involving the Dayak Council of Borneo and Sulawesi.
Veterans and Legends	With her many connections Hantu has found many allies and acquaintances that are willing to help her and her allies. Or she has found a bountiful amount of dirt on them. Or they owe her... there are many reasons they would work for Hantu, and to call upon their aid would cost a hefty price. Roll a negotiation check + loyalty - notoriety against double Hantu's connection rating + or - any relative factors the GM feels appropriate. If successful Hantu may call upon one of her many allies across the years to aid the runners in whatever endeavour they seem fit. Adding an additional +2 to networking to achieve this. These mainly being retired and skill runners or veteran Red Samurai. In doing this regardless of the matter at hand, the runner will owe Hantu at least 1 chip for performing this task. The GM may issue more depending on the aid offered and/or the task that required this aid.
