General (0) "The 'community' is fickle, reputation is everything." OOC Readme: These tabs are organized by IC information anyone with an applicable Shadowscene Players skill would have. Check your skill against the matrix. This is what IC information you would have. Common Knowledge A triple-A class shadowrunner who comes off as arrogant, picky and abrasive. Services (Shadowrunner) Preferred Wetwork Extraction (Personnel) Extraction (Materiel) Physical Reconnaissance Smuggling Breaking & Entering Coercion Available Decking Non-Lethal Applications Unavailable Employer: Yakashima L.Detail (1-2) "She does not represent my associate and I, we accept your offer." Description Hair Blond Eyes Blue Skin White Ethnicity Northern European Height 190.5cm (6'3") Build Athletic Cyber Twin obvious cyberarms Fashion Smart casual He appears to be in his mid fourties from appearance. Naturally tall for a human, tending more towards wiry athleticism than bulk. Screamsheet Air has now been actively operating in the Denver shadows for over a decade, spending time as a gunsmith, surgeon and fixer between stints of direct work in the shadows. He has built a solid reputation as capable though not everything said about him is positive, in fact many complain of his condescending attitude and critical nature. His demeanour is cold by default. He's rational and logical to the extremes and rarely if ever lets emotion get into his thought pattern, which is obvious to anyone spending any amount of time with him. He's mundane, skilled with long arms and preferring to stay out of a melee fight if he can. Generally expects to take charge when working and will superciliously issue out orders as if he is in charge. Knowledge extends to such things as mundane security protocol, physical security systems, close protection and the like. A veteran of many jobs, he is picky about his work. Reputedly he has turned down more than he's accepted, which has irritated more than one Mr. Johnson. Skills Though he spent a stint in 'retired' status operating only in a fringe role he recently came back to active work with a vengeance. He works as a fixer when he's not actively engaged in shadowruns himself, operating out of a booth in the Cool Cat Club most often. Reports indicate his skillset is in line with what could be expected of a private security contractor or possibly police SWAT with some supplementary skills in breaking locks and decking. Has displayed some degree of cybernetic augmentation, specifically reflexes and senseware. Was once reported seen with obvious cybereyes, ears and full arm replacement, but report could not be corroborated. Reports now corroborate two obvious cyberarms indicating augmentation is significant, lending credence to earlier reports of eye, ear and reflex enhancements. Multiple eyewitness accounts of Air going up in hand-to-hand combat against Mafen "Tinman" once and Croc "El Cocodrillo" multiple times without serious injury conflict with reports that he prefers to avoid melee engagements. One account claims that both Croc and Air survived a claymore blast at immediate range during one such fight though due to this event occurring in Aurora this could not be confirmed.

The price for our services is fair." Motivation No apparent moral code or code of honour. Appears to be primarily motivated to work by the money. He acts professionally and maintains a good reputation as a means for repeat business, tends to be unfriendly, cold, arrogant and insulting to other shadowrunners. When engaged to work with others will act condescending towards his peers, certainly prefers to select his team himself. Known Associations Custom Gunz 'n' Armor SilverHanders (previously Fist Full of Silver crew) Rumored Corporate contacts Known Haunts Custom Gunz 'n' Armor The Landmark Speakeasy The Fallen Angel The Cool Cat Club RP Hooks These hooks are easily found out about Air. Collector - Air collects rare items, in particular firearms and especially pistols. He'll be interested in any information that leads him to new and interesting items to collect, and he'll generally make it worth someone's while to do so. Snob - As a Shadowrunner Air has a reputation as a snob, and as an asshole willing to share his opinion unasked for. Condescension is his default until he feels someone has proven themselves to be worth more attention. Some consider this is the main reason why he never reached the truly top tiers of the Denver shadows. Fixer - Under a persona called 'Rusty', Air acts as a Fixer to the shadows, calling himself retired from shadowrunning having come into the job later in life. He has a specialism in firearms and ammo particularly, and also a good provider of surgical services and fake SINs. Anything can be acquired, but everyone has their particular areas of excellence. He has also been known to J a run or two out to people but he's never a regular source of work. Yakashima - Air has some history with Yakashima that he doesn't talk about, but has clearly run into some issues with that corporation. Denver Shadows - Air has in the past come to blows with other shadowrunners, posted a bounty for at least one other runner and generally taken the position that the only reason Denver's shadows are so deep is because they remain useful to the corporations up in the sunlight. Anything which threatens the reputation of Denver's shadowrunners as a community is likely to earn his ire, if not direct conflict, and of course he considers this a service done on behalf of all shadowrunners in Denver for which they all owe him. Matrix Identity The Black Cat «The Black Cat» is Air's matrix icon and identity. Maintained wholly separate from his real life identity, he does not associate with The Black Cat, and vice versa. Nobody currently explicitly knows that he is the person behind the black cat icon, seen so often at matrix only shadowauctions and on the shadowland auction channel. Quite often the Cat is snarky, belittling other icons with a condescending attitude. Has been known to complain about items on auction and warn people from buying them, being obviously rude. Icon Picture Folder Picts circa 2070 Appearance conflicts with more recent reports of capabilities. Possible appearance as Mr. Johnson circa 2075.
