Racer X

Fredrick Houston

Closest Archetype: Seattle Bus Driver

The Skinny: Racer X is the consummate runners contact. In regards to knowing the mean streets of Seattle, there’s nobody better than X. A seven year veteran driver, Racer knows what stops to make and which to pass by. He’s in the know when it comes to local dealers, fixers and gangs. Being a bus driver, he hears a lot. More than say, a cab driver would.

Racer X got his name due to the way he handles his bus. Formerly a freelance rigger, X did several stints with Seattle cab companies before settling for a bus. Unlike standard riggers, the racer spends over half of his time on foot, walking around areas and getting to know people.

Description: Long haired elven male, 6’5. Dresses in grunge style and has several tattoos depicting comic and japanamation characters (Ryu, Kenada, Stryder, Hulk, Doc Samson, Prime). Racer is unusually bulky for an elf, leading many to believe that he is not entirely elven (or perhaps even a poser). Most of X’s bulk is muscle. Whether this muscle is real or synthetic is unknown. He has datajacks behind each ear.

Contacts: Street Bum, Gang Member, Club Habitue, fixer, Mob soldier, Yakuza Soldier, Undercover Lonestar officer, Drug Dealer, BTL slinger, Snitch, prostitute, fixer
