Overview
Ex-Ares gun nut whose name is intentionally stupid to throw off folks and make them underestimate her. Doesn't typically waste time on pistols or sniper rifles because she prefers big guns that either spit a lot of led, blast enemies to bits from up close, or do both at the same time. She's especially fond of heavy weapons like miniguns or assault cannons.
GM Notes
- She is more than happy to get Runners most kinds of jobs regardless of whether or not they involve using heavy weapons. That said, she's more excited and more likely to be extra helpful or generous if a job DOES involve using explosives or heavy weapons in some way - especially if it was explosives or heavy weapons that SHE provided that were used. She definitely leans towards providing Pink Mohawk jobs as a result, but can handle Black Trenchcoat jobs as well.
- She is Ex-Ares, and while her opinions on corporations in general have soured as of late, she left on relatively amicable terms. That said, she does not maintain any loyalty to them beyond preferring their weapons over most others. She is not against pushing jobs that mess with Ares in some way, but if she thinks that such a job might decrease the supply of Ares weapons that she can get her hands on or could burn her connections in the Corporation if they found out about her involvement, she may opt to provide a different job.
- Her personality is pretty friendly and occasionally obnoxious, but she has a tendency to go off on tangents about heavy weapons or explosives. The closest comparison I can think of is Mr. Torgue from Borderlands, but without all the air guitar solos and she is capable of speaking quietly.
Aspects Description
| Aspect | Description |
|---|---|
| Big Gun Purist | The Boom Queen only enjoys messing with large, powerful guns and does not waste time with guns that are either small or focused on long range, impersonal combat (unless it's an Assault Cannon, Grenade Launcher or other Heavy Weapon). This means she will not make Gear checks to find any pistols, smgs, or sniper rifles. |
| Big Gun Enthusiast | The Boom Queen loves any big guns that spray and pray, explode, or potentially melt targets. She gets a +2 bonus on Gear checks for weapons that use the Heavy Weapons skill. |
| "Punch a Hole In It" | Where The Boom Queen likes really big guns, she especially likes big guns that put big holes in enemies pretty much no matter where the shot lands. This results in a +2 bonus for Gear checks specifically made to find Assault Cannon weapons. |
| EXPLOSIONS! | Sometimes, you just need a really big boom, and The Boom Queen understands this so well that it's in her name. She gains a +2 bonus on Gear checks to find Grenade Launchers. |
| "Make a Big Hole with it for me, would you?" | When you need to put a big hole in something or someone, The Boom Queen can make that happen. She gets a +2 bonus on Gear checks to find Fragmentation or High-Explosive Grenades, Rockets, Missiles, or Explosive Ammo for guns. |
| "I can get you the Fix" | The Boom Queen understands the importance of connections and jobs for making money for her big guns. She can double as a Fixer in addition to her "explosive mercantilism". |
| "Ares knows how to make holes." | Even though she doesn't work for them anymore, The Boom Queen has a bit of a soft spot for firepower from Ares. This results in a +2 bonus to Gear checks to find Ares Brand weapons. |
| "I can introduce you to Ares" | Using her connections from her time working for Ares, The Boom Queen can assist with getting a hold of certain folks from there. This results in a +2 bonus to Networking checks related to Ares or Knight-Errant personnel. |
