Former espionage agent
J Roberson (RJR96326@VAX1.UTULSA.EDU)
"Don't Ask. My story, my past employer, and
the means by which I found myself here can
be considered. ..classified. Suffice it to say
that I am well-trained and well-equipped to
obtain any data you desire, even that which is
not found in the Matrix. I can also conduct
surveillance, tracking, and other activities
which involve the procuring of information.
Data is the cash of the New Age, and I'm
your printing press."
The Former Espionage Agent was employed
by a very high-level intelligence organization,
either public or private. For reasons best left
unknown, she has left their employ and taken
a good amount of equipment with her in
order to use her skills freelance. Highly
augmented, capable of operating on her own
and possessing the best equipment money
can buy, she is the best person for obtaining
information on anyone, anytime, anywhere.

Halfling street operator
David Altman
(izzyux2@mvs.oac.ucla.edu)
COMMENTARY
Always the smallest, he attracted bullies that
tried to prey on him. Fights and beatings
became as common as the chipheads in his
neighborhood. But it didn't break him.
Instead he became tough, ruthless, and
cunning. He came to understand the nature
of the streets. A flying kick to the groin and
elbow to the face of the local bully did
wonders for his rep. Pretty soon even the ork
bullies gave him respect. But it wasn't enough
- he wanted power too. Pretty soon he was
hustling the streets, using gangs and lowlifes.
He found out that he had a talent for street
ops. He decided that the local scene was just
to small, he moved on to the Real Action -
where the major operators were - The
Shadow-world.

Ogre enforcer
David Altman
(izzyux2@mvs.oac.ucla.edu)
COMMENTARY
The Ogre Enforcer was always an outsider. His
appearance and physique made smaller
people shy away from him, either out of fear
or contempt - sometimes both. Even the Ork
and Trolls derided him because of his
differences. He learned to be a loner.The
Ogre Enforcer was resolved to being alone,
deeply scarred by the universal dislike he
faced. He took odd jobs that utilized his great
size, often working for employers that were
abusive and thought him to be subhuman.
Once while he was working as a bouncer in a
club he noticed a group of suits coming
towards him. He got ready for a fight. Suits
always tried to make him feel bad, and he
could never stand that. But this time it was
different. One of the suits, an old guy, started
talking to him. After a short conversation "The
Boss", as the Ogre Enforcer came to know the
old guy, offered him a job. He could even
join "The Family". He'd start at the bottom, but
he could work his way up.
The Ogre Enforcer liked working with his
family, they treated him nice, talked to him,
went out with him, trained him. It was good
to be part of the family. He rose up through
the organization, but when "The Boss" died,
and a new boss took over the family, his heart
wasn't in it anymore. He decided to go
freelance.

Outcast Tir noble I
David Altman
(izzyux2@mvs.oac.ucla.edu)
COMMENTARY
The Outcast Tir Noble was raised in luxury,
trained by the most exclusive instructors in all
the skills he would need to become a leader
of the Elven Nation. Unfortunately, he
associated with people that were on the
loosing side of a internal power struggle. His
"friends" blithely scapegoated him. Ruined
politically and socially he had to become an
outcast. He is disenchanted with the Tir, but
hopes to regain his rightful place.

Street Samurai II
David Altman
(izzyux2@mvs.oac.ucla.edu)
"The streets have only gotten worse, Mr. Johnson,
and I and my brethren have grown tougher to
accommodate it. I'm the hot new meat on the
market: Quicker, tougher, and meaner than my
predecessor. My style? I don't just spray and pray
no more neither; I don't cut loose ten bullets for
the price of one-keeps your costs down, neh?
Guns too loud? Well, I'm much more efficient at
slicing meat too. Whatever you want, I can do it
better than anyone you're familiar with."
COMMENTARY
The Street Samurai II is an attempt to
incorpoarte the advances of Shadowtech and
the SSC into the character generation ystem.
Also, in reverse-engineering the original sam,
I noticed he deserved 2 more attribute points.
The Street Sam is basically a thug or punk
who managed to keep the right 'ware
installed to rise above the rest and earn a
living as pure brawn. Where other archetypes
invest their Essence in skillwires, higher
intelligence, and other exotic subsystems, the
street samurai chooses only that which
directly enhances his combat effectiveness,
particularly in melee. Not a tactician, not a
scout, the samurai is brawn, muscle, and
power.
FINAL NOTE:
With Essence 2 and less than half the Body
Index used up, the samurai has plenty of
room for further upgrades. Also, there are
three variations listed below; feel free to
come up with your own.
