Professor M.

Real Name: Professor David Macmillan
Closest Archetype: University Professor

The Skinny: David Macmillan was raised in the Ares-Boston housing-plex. During the years that he lived there, he was never allowed to leave his community. David’s only outlet was the trideo.

He watched a lot of game shows and talk shows growing up. Old holovids of Jerry Springer caught his eye. For a time, he intended to become a talk show host. What had interested him most about these shows were the behaviors of the people that were on them. More specifically, why would people even participate in this crap? It was that question that launched his career as a social scientist.

David attended college at Columbia, Hazelton University and Tulane. He graduated from each university with a different degree: Sociology, Psychology and Meta-human behavioral studies respectively. When it came time for him to settle on a post graduate position he decided that his desire was not to host a talk show, but to teach. So teach he did, taking a position at the Seattle School of Progressive Psychology. The school is a relatively unknown institution, which has dedicated itself to unlocking the secrets of cyberpsychosis and other such maladies.

When Dr. M isn’t researching or teaching tomorrow’s minds, he is consulting. The FBI, and NSA as well as local and corporate authorities often call upon his considerable knowledge in order to build socio-psychological profiles of shadowrunners and similarly minded persons. These profiles are the authorities’ most dangerous weapons when trying to catch a suspect.

Lately, local area shadowrunners have come calling on the good doctor. Not to harass him into altering their profiles or even to take him out for the trouble he’s caused. They come to Dr. M to procure his services. These runners have been requesting profiles about people they plan to extract, kidnap or even assassinate. After all, it’s easier to nail a target if you know how your target thinks. The good Dr. has been giving shadowrunners the answers they need… For a fee.
