Character Information
Summary
A shifter adopted by a Halloweener Rager before her Awakening, Hotdog has since discovered an supernatural talent for manipulating twolegs. And burning drek. A proud member of her found family, Hotdog is always down to cause chaos and stick it to Seattle's other gangs.
Goals
- Make Mother of Mayhem the bestest Rager in the sprawl!
- Figure out twoleg society, drek is complicated!
- Burn the Ancients that attacked Mother's underlings!
- Make the Halloweeners the top gang ever!!!
- Meet Borderline.
Background
Originally an exotic pet kept by a member of the Watada-gumi who was ignorant of her magical nature, Hotdog became stranded in Redmond as a pup after her owner's private plane was shot down by shadowrunners. Her original owner was finished off after the crash, but the fox survived with injuries and was left behind. Eventually, a squad of Halloweeners came by to loot the crash site. Hotdog doesn't remember much about her life in Japan or her original owner, but cemented in her mind is the memory of the 'weener's Rager, Mother of Mayhem, finding her in the rubble, taking pity on her, holding her, pressing a gun to the forehead of a street doc who said he wasn't gonna operate on a fox and that he was booked for the whole day anyways. He found the time. "Hotdog," as she was named after devouring a package of soydogs once taken back to Mother's home, found a family. Mother regularly took her along during gang business, to parties at the Jackal's Lantern, almost using Hotdog like a mascot for her little section of the gang.
Mother was shocked when Hotdog figured out her abilities a year later. Mostly because she came home to a confused naked woman with a fox tail in her apartment one day. After a tense, borderline nonsensical explanation full of tear, she stopped pointing a gun at Hotdog and told her that she was still loved, that nothing had to change. The rest of the gang might've been suspicious of the strange girl suddenly hanging around with the Rager, though, so Hotdog was burned in, made a proper member of the Halloweeners. She wears the scars, and her colors, proudly.
Hotdog's magical talents made her a useful member of the thrill gang, both when causing destruction and dealing in more delicate business. She didn't really get why she was setting elves on green bikes on fire, or arguing for the number for a brick of white powder to go down, but she was good at it and it made Mother happy! Learning the business has been a slow process, but Hotdog is determined to do her best. Learning to read from Mother's old horror novels helped.
A recent raid by the Ancients has seriously depleted the resources of Mother of Mayhem's section of the gang, threatening her position as a Rager. Unwilling to let that happen without doing something to help, Hotdog has started selling her talents to others as a shadowrunner. Anything to help her Mother.
Narrative Significant Qualities
Positive
- Mentor Spirit (Chaos): There's voices, in the back of Hotdog's head, nudging her into causing trouble. Fortunately, the Halloweeners do nothing but cause trouble. Chaotic images swirl around Hotdog when she works her magic, flashes of flame and grasping tendrils.
- Sensei (Acting), Rabble Rouser: Roxxy Sparks, a fellow Halloweener and rocker of some renown around Redmond, has taken Hotdog under her wing. Teaching her how to read a mark and keep her cool in front of a crowd.
- Candle in the Darkness: Hotdog has her own weird sense of honor, based on the rules of the streets and loyalty to her gang.
- First Impression: Despite being rough around the edges, Hotdog has an earnest charm and swagger that has a tendency to disarm those she first meets.
- Rank 1 (Halloweeners): After showing her leadership potential during the events of WELCOME TO HELL MOTHERFUCKER, Hotdog received the opportunity to climb the ranks within the gang and has started her own small crew of gangers, while still being subservient to Mother of Mayhem.
Negative
- Code of Honor (Thug Life): The Halloweeners are Hotdog's family, she's almost never without her colors and proudly pours her income into supporting her fellow gangers. Fuck the cops, fuck any other gangers getting in the 'weener's way, and fuck you if you have a problem with that.
- Lack of Focus: Easily distracted, Hotdog has to spend considerable effort to stay focused on a single task for long. Waiting feels like torture when she could be out doing something exciting instead.
- Uneducated: The transition from exotic pet to member of metahuman society has been a difficult one. There are massive gaps in Hotdog's knowledge compared to even her fellow gangers. At least she figured out how to work a commlink. Kind of.

| 1 | Hotdog is a loud and proud Halloweener face and mage of some sort. Predictably, she seems more than a bit dumb and has novacoke habit. Seems to have some vulpine features like a tail and slitted eyes, unclear if they're biomods or something else. |
| 3 | Horrifying imagery seems to manifest whenever Hotdog works her magic, and her spirits usually take the form of Eldritch abominations. A Redmond decker by the name of R@M has been spreading her story after the events of Johnfidence. |
| 5 | Hotdog is most likely a shifter, although being raised by the Halloweener Mother of Mayhem has lead to her embracing a fucked up version of metahumanity more than her animal side, most of the time. She is easily distracted, prone to violence and bombastic actions, and loyal to her gang to a fault. |

Appearance
In her natural form, Hotdog looks like a red fox of above average, but not extraordinary, size with a few burn scars.
In her metahuman form, Hotdog appears to be a young Japanese human woman of slight build and below-average height. Her wild, fiery hair and amber eyes with slitted pupils and irises that are just a bit too big catch one's attention. Those eyes are full of mischief, rarely focusing on one thing for long, wandering and searching for the next thing that'll catch her attention. She's usually wearing face paint of some kind, although the specifics change according to her mood.
Burn scars lick up Hotdog's neck, along her arms, her back. A reminder of her initiation into the Halloweeners. She wears these symbols proudly, often rolling up her sleeves to expose her arms. What she does try to hide around strangers, however, is a bushy fox tail that she tries to keep concealed beneath her clothes. The results are mixed, especially when she gets excited.
Clothing
Hotdog has a limited wardrobe, but most of it is in orange and black. She tries to stick to baggy pants and large jackets to better hide her tail, and has developed a taste for the punky, scavenged post-apoc style common among Barrens dwellers.
Matrix Persona
Still struggling to figure out the Matrix, Hotdog sticks to her Renraku Sensei's default persona, a samurai lady wearing a kimono. One of her friends uploaded a jack-o-lantern pattern for the kimono, but that's the only bit of customization she's been able to add.
