The Dark Legacy

Steve Mancini

Archetype: Shadowrunner Group

Background:

The Dark Legacy is the street name for a group of shadowrunners. The team is comprised of several members, each with their own history, which will be spelled out under their individual submissions. This team has run with no one but each other since their creation and as such work like a fine-tuned machine.

Since their creation, they have “made” a name for themselves in Hong Kong by going bar to bar, looking for brawls, and clearing the places out. This “reputation” brought them to the attention of a eastern dragon that sponsors a “blood sport’ competition. In this competition, several members took 2nd place, with one member, Centinel, taking first place in the Quick Draw competition.

Since that time they have stolen a dragon off of the top of Ares, rescued a corper’s son from a maximum security prison in Atlanta Georgia, and taken down 1 dragon. As NPC’s, they have since opened their own shadowrunner rescue service called “Body-snatchers” and have also pooled their resources to purchase an MP Laser for the team. They have also set up a team residence in the woods of Fort Lewis.

The basic breakdown of the team is as follows:

Centinel: Female human samurai leader
Gremlin: Male, dwarven sam/saboteur
Babs: Female, elven samurai
Angel: Female, ork bodyguard/samurai
Hammer: Male, Troll samurai
Anvil: Male, troll samurai
Roadrunner: Male, human rigger
Wyldkat: Female, human wildcat shaman
Hell Razor: Male, human fire elementalist

Matrix Prowlers

Phillip Steele

The matrix prowlers are actually three people. They are part of the most deadly force the matrix has seen, the Turing police. They and their small group of team mates patrol the matrix looking for virus’s, A.I.’s, rogue IC and deckers who have gone insane and now destroy and set loose viral sequences for the shear thrill.

Each one knows one another intimately, the cyberware they have installed and links them together sees to that. Each one is a superb decker in his or her own right but working as a team they are lethal.

The Matrix prowlers have been on the job now for the last 5 years, plucked from top Universities around the world and given intensive training. This particular group though enjoys it’s fun, the ease with which they can glean the secrets from any system has given them power, but it is power they don’t use for themselves or for their govt. No, the matrix prowlers believe in the freedom of the individual and so regularly help out deckers in distress or in need of vital information. Of course whether the deckers realize they have been helped by the Matrix Prowlers is another thing, for their persona changes according to what configuration they are currently running.
