Derringer

Archetype: Human Street Samurai

Friends since the age of five, Derringer and Capone have been running together since the advent of the profession. Both are now in their middle thirties and have made enough money to upgrade their cyberware again and again to the point that everything in them is top of the line Deta grade customized. Neither has been successfully shot or hit in five years and they are both a year away from the retirement date they established fifteen years earlier. The sight of Derringer and Capone fighting side by side is nothing short of spectacular. They operate in a blur of speed, some saying they have the ability to dodge a bullet fired from ten meters away AFTER it has left the chamber. When they finally get to their main target they almost always flip a coin (one flipping, the other catching) to see who gets to make the kill, although they're not so stupid as to perform this ritual if a threat prevented it.

Derringer preformed as a non-magical magician as a youngster and still incorporates various aspects of slight of hand work into his running. He can pull a gun from nowhere, snatch your gun out of its holster before you knew what happened, and throw a seemingly endless stream of shurkins. Athletics is another strong point and he has the ability to fire and run and flip without losing accuracy. He rarely uses any firearm larger than an SMG, although he loves grenades and explosives.

Personality wise, Derringer is a complete smartass, mainly because he's able to get away with it. He'll also dress in a variety of wacked out arrangements, ranging from a polka dot long coat and a Dr. Suess "Cat In The Hat" hat to a pair of shorts and a "Welcome To Seattle" tourist shirt.

Capone

Archetype: Human Street Samurai Decker

Capone is a bit more reserved, both visually and in his personality, choosing to use his extreme intelligence to make his target look like a fool, often times without the target even realizing this. His main weapon is a variety of custom assault rifles which can be disassembled into the smallest of pieces but which he can assemble and fire with lightening speed. He also possesses a very large sword which breaks down into some seven or eight pieces and which he can assemble extremely quickly as well. Capone also carries a custom cyberdeck, the equivalent of an Excalibur but about 1/3 its normal size, and could have gotten away with simply being a decker if he wasn't so good and samurai related work as well.
