Art Taylor
Archetype: Human Wage Slave
Art is tired of seeing his neighborhood being victimized
by crime, be they gangs, or mobsters, or yaks, or shadowrunners. Art, a
low level worker at a rinky-dink corp, is in his mid forties with thinning
hair and a blue collar build. He and a group of local residents have armed
themselves with a variety of weaponry in a determined effort to keep crime
out of their small section of the sprawl. Art personally owns an aging
assault rifle and a variety of shotguns and, although his old military
skills have about rusted out, he's still a decent shot. Although Art and
his small group has had some success in chasing away the smaller gangs
he doesn't know what he's getting himself into. All it takes is one shot
at a mobster, or a runner, and lord knows what he'll bring down upon himself.
Mark DeNero
Archetype: Human Wage Slave
Mark is also a blue collar worker and is tired of the graffiti
and the drugs and the theft. He owns a shotgun and a Colt Manhunter he
confiscated from a ten year old who was trying to sell it. Mark, as does
Art, usually takes on the most dangerous position offered by the watch
group, namely, street patrol. It is his job to patrol the block and call
back to the other via walkie talkie if anything bad is happening. He's
not afraid to act on his own, however, and is especially not afraid to
use his gun.
Kim Day
Archetype: Human College Student
Kim is only a part time student and gladly participates
in the watch group. She's a bit "out there", smoking too much
weed and occasionally chipping in a BTL or two, so her actions of good will
are a bit hypocritical. Her post is simply her second story apartment which
has a large front window through which she can see practically the entire
neighborhood. Although, technically, those participating in the watch are
only supposed to fire their weapons as a warning or in self defense, Kim
has recently obtained a sporting rile equipped with a nifty scope and has
therefore been cracking off the occasional kneecap shot.
Grover Stern
Archetype: Ork Former Military Soldier
Although the neighborhood is not prejudiced against metahumans,
they are a little bit wary of Grover. It is well known that Grover was
discharged as a "section eight" from the military, but what is
not well known is that he has a veritable arsenal of military grade weaponry
sitting in his apartment. Grover is gruff and standoffish and down right
mean but is permitted to participate in the watch program because they
need all the help they can get. His post is the front steps of his row
house where he sits next to a partially concealed Remington sporting rifle.
Also, just inside the door and out of sight, is the belted GPHMG he has
on stand by.
Glenda Hempton
Archetype: Human Old Lady
Glenda is almost ninety years old,
although she doesn't look a day over ninety five. Her purpose in the group is to
babble about how all the young whippersnappers are making a mess of the city
and, occasionally, bake cookies for those on watch. She also has somehow managed
to acquire several functioning hand grenades, although she keeps this fact a
secret, and vows to "let those little punks have it" one day.
