Olney
Archetype: Human Photographer
There are two essential things to keep in mind when dealing
with Olney. Number 1: She likes to get her picture, and Number 2: When
she doesn’t get her picture she gets a bit annoyed. Perhaps annoyed is
a bit of an understatement. Olney totes around a custom Ceska Black Scorpion
with a custom grip, micro laser sight, integral sound suppresser, and special
ammunition which belies the underpowered image of this weapon and she is
prepared to use it if, as she says, "adherence to aesthetic quality warrants
violence".
Now this is not to say she'll blow you away if you didn't want her to
get a snap shot of you, but she will take a pot shot at you if you happen
to screw up the photo she was taking of somebody or something else. Olney
is a traditionalist, preferring to use conventional film as opposed to
digital imaging, a philosophy which has saved her images from destruction
on more than one occasion when a security agent, unfamiliar with what a
film camera looks like, attempted to scramble her nonexistent digital
data. Olneys non-threatening appearance has also worked in her favor, allowing
her to enter sites or buildings which would boot typical cybermedia types.
Cutt
Archetype: Human Photographer
The perfect manifestation of a self destructive personality, Cutt always takes the most dangerous assignments, placing herself in the
grasp of the most insanely unsurvivable situations but, miraculously, always
coming out alive. Her strange and complicated set of morals and beliefs
prevents her from simply committing suicide but, for some reason, they
do not prevent her from allowing an Aztechnology military convoy to practically
run over her so she can get a shot of the company's new Bergen nitrogen
cooled, high efficiency transmissions.
Cutt has had a majority of her body replaced with cyberware and is already
beginning to push into negative essence territory, a fact that wont at
all help her manic depressive, illogically spontaneous, and insanely erratic
personality. When not capturing award winning digital images she spends
her time as a alcohol, speed, and BTL addict and having people bail her
out of jail. If anything kills her it will probably be the combined effects
of drugs and stress finally pushing her body to the point of shutdown.
Hawk
Archetype: Elven Photographer
What Hawk lacks in strength, he makes up
for in quickness, darting in to get his precious images and then disappearing as
fast as he arrived. Hawk is a mysterious man, shunning direct contact with
people in general and preferring to submit his work and receive payment
anonymously. Hawk generally lives out of hotel rooms, usually the seediest
available, and appears to have a nearly endless variety of vehicles at his
disposal leading some people to believe he has other people working with him in
the background. It is a concealed fact that he has some kind of a contact, usually
known indirectly, in just about every city institution, service, corporation,
and organization allowing him to gain a frightening amount of access to
even the most sensitive of buildings. Hawk doesn’t believe in cyberware
but, for some reason, he’s all for bioware and has had numerous biogenitic
muscle enhancements increasing his speed and agility. He also appears to
have color sensing fibers embedded in his actual skin and micro sensors
not available on the general market.
