Background

• Zachariah was born to a SINless family in the Ork Underground in 2053, raised there, and expressed as a Hobgoblin during the passing of Hallie's Comet. He grew up tough like everyone in the underground, the place and people were like the roots of weeds, growing and adapting to thrive in even the toughest environment. Society flourished beneath the streets, and many found their success above ground in the shadows. Zachariah was no different, and started out as a hired gun for gangers. Over the years, he found his way through the underworld network, and began taking jobs from Ares, Horizon, Aztechnology, as well UCAS Politicians, Rogue AIs, Free Spirits, Eccentric Individuals, and Secret Societies. Along the way he's lost many friends and team-mates, and made many decisions that weigh heavy on his shoulders, along with gaining a lengthy list of enemies. Now he's got quite a rep in the shadow community, however he's truly revered in his home in the Underground. A hero who managed to crawl up from the mud to be something great, although he's still trying to figure out what that something is.

Narrative Significant Qualities

• Legendary Rep: Any long time runner builds up a rep, and Rakshasa has been doing this since he was eleven. However he is revered the most within the Ork Underground as a model of a SINless rat in the tunnels like the rest of them who managed to rise up out of the muck. His hooding and support for his home help contribute to their love for him.

• Code of the Wuxia: Rakshasa has had a strong sense of street honor for as long as he's been working in the shadows. Whether he's shaking people down for the Ragers or pulling the trigger for Ares, he always does it his way. He's always had a complex value system in his head that prioritized friends and innocents, minimizing damage if at all possible, and doing good where he can. This has led him to help the SINless, Underground, and just unfortunate wage-slaves. On the flip-side, he has a mild contempt for gangers, street scum, and some other shadowrunners who aren't afraid to prey on people who aren't 'in the game'.

• Data Liberator: Rakshasa crawled out from beneath the thumbs of high handed corporate overlords, and knows first hand how they desperately try to control the flow of information, data, the matrix, and use made up formula and statistics to force the popular consciousness to their ends. This disgusting abuse of power and indoctrination is something he won't stand for, and does what he can to further the cause of free, unrestricted information and data, along with a free matrix.

Matrix Search Table

>> Renraku Sachi Results: A Rakshasa (Sanskrit: राक्षस, rākṣasa) is a mythological being in Hindu mythology. As this mythology influenced other religions, the rakshasa was later incorporated into Buddhism. Rakshasas are also called "Maneaters" (Nri-chakshas, Kravyads). A female rakshasa is known as a Rakshasi. They are often depicted as anthropomorphic Clouded Leopards in primal armors with Hindu flares.

Shadow Community Table

• Known as something of an icon for members of the Ork Underground. There's been hundreds of runners and thousands of gangers who've come from the Underground, but few amount to much. With his record of hooding, sticking it to Humanis, the Japanacorps, the Ancients, and giving back to his home, people know he's a good, loyal guy. Not to mention how he operates on the job; guy's stubborn about getting a job done, but even he's shot people in the face for a job that crossed his line, or for trying to screw him or his friends. He might come off as purely mercenary, but he does have a strict, strong code of street honor that he will not violate or let be violate for any reason.

• He's been known as a solo since he was eleven. Shaking people down as a street ronin with some cheap guns, pulling his own scores with his pals from the Underground on small escort vehicles or StufferShacks. He put his money back into himself in the form of augmentations, and got his first gig working as a private enforcer for the Ragers gang in Redmond, and once he graduated to the shadows of Touristville, got his first corporate muscle job for a B-Grade legal company. Before too long, he was a professional operative, pulling jobs for A corps, crime syndicates, celebrities, and even handling AA dirty work. By the time he was sixteen, he was a Major League Hitter in the shadows, taking jobs for AAA Clients, Rogue AIs, Secret Societies, Free Spirits, and government officials. It's rumored that he's dealt with Sharon Chang-Wu, Suki Shiawase, Lofwyr, The Conglomerate, Chief Pawl Shaggy Mountain, Omega Dawn, and Deus, and while it's uncertain what truth there is to the street stories surrounding him, there's no denying he's earned those stories, and his reputation as Solo Elite.
