Notes

A former Lone Star detective who now works the shadows, this character combines investigation skills with streetwise survival abilities. Their cyberware focuses on information gathering rather than combat enhancement, reflecting their role as an investigator rather than a front-line fighter.

Their extensive contact network and social skills make them particularly effective at gathering information through legitimate and illegitimate channels. The mix of corporate and street etiquette allows them to move between different social circles with ease.

The equipment loadout emphasizes non-lethal options and investigation tools, though they maintain the ability to defend themselves when necessary.
