Margie
Archetype: Human Smuggler
A rather tiny woman in her early sixties, Margie looks
like the kind of person who should be in a Betty Crocker commercial, not
running contraband by boat. But smuggling is her profession as it has been
for her and her family for the last twenty five years. Originally in the
fishing business, pollution and the loss of fishing stock forced the family
into their current profession of running drugs, banned goods, and people
short distances, usually from off shore ocean going ships to the coast.
She is extremely pleasant to be around, never swears, and handles any boat
she's given with mellow skill. She and her family owns a fleet of boats
ranging from powered rowboats to ECM equipped Nightrunners.
Earl
Archetype: Human Smuggler
Earl is still pissed off at the megacorporations who destroyed
his original trade and will do nothing but bitch about them while navigating.
The up side of this is that he never gets upset about anything but the
corporations, taking such incidents as having his ship perforated by an
autocannon round in calm stride. Earl rarely runs people, especially corps,
and tends to stick to drugs and other inanimate objects which won't ask
him to stop bitching.
Lindsey
Archetype: Human Smuggler
One of the three children of Margie and Earl, Lindsey posses
the personality of both of her parents, causing her to get pissed off about
something and then immediately apologize and ask everybody if they'd like
some tea. Aged 30 years, she's short and a bit overweight and prefers to
take missions requiring little personal movement. She has virtually no
ambitions beyond completing her current smuggling run and spends her off
time at her parent's island home watching trideo, eating Doritos, and being
lethargic.
Silverfish
Archetype: Human Rigger
Unlike Margie, Earl, or Lindsey, Silverfish and her twin
brother, Saberfish, are full fledged riggers, each actively involved in
the shadowrunner world and consider smuggling goods as a "vacation".
Silverfish, age 27, is still shorter than average but is very fit and strong,
being an excellent swimmer and hand to hand combat fighter. She "owns"
a B&V River Commander which she managed to steal from a corporation during
an extraction and which she keeps in excellent shape through the utilization
of he vast technical and repair skills. Although she will usually keep
this vehicle hidden at her parents island home, Silverfish will pull it
out when power is needed.
Saberfish
Archetype: Human Rigger
Saberfish looks almost exactly like his sister except for
the fact that his hair is extremely long and hers is kept relatively short.
And, although they are twins in the physical sense, Saberfish got the shit
end of the sanity stick, resulting in irrational, almost suicidal behavior
which has his family, and most of all his twin sister, sick with worry.
He always wants to take on the high octane, high risk runs, going into
violent screaming fits when people prevent him from participating in them.
So far Saberfish has trashed three boats, including a Nightrunner, and
has messed himself up so badly time after time that he spends an average
of two months a year in the hospital.
