Archetype: Elven Johnson

Tough as nails, Kendra doesn't take crap from anybody but also knows when respect should be given and when it should be received. She's been known to be tough on new runners, but is also the first to give them a chance. Many runners have succeeded under her wing, and just as many have been dropped. She is both loved and hated on the streets, a friend to many, and enemy to many more.

When a runner encounters Kendra for the first time, the meeting is likely to last only a few seconds. She presents a run, gives them some data, and asks them if they want it. If the runner refuses she will never offer her assistance again. If they accept it it is insignificant whether they succeed or fail. She will always return with another run, the value of which depends on how well the runners did. Only after several screw ups will she drop them. Those who succeed are given better and better runs and she offers more conversation with them, extending her interaction from having the runners glance at a lap top screen to actually talking over the possibilities the run presents and the future of the runners themselves. Kendra is tall, has long white hair, and usually dresses in black leather although she will dress up more formally if the occasion calls for it.

Grunger

Archetype: Troll Fixer

Loosely allied with Kendra, Grunger provides her and her runners with weaponry, decks, and other materials at decent, even low, prices for the first few runs. He is mainly reserved yet very temperamental, negotiating in a whisper until he gets pissed and begins shouting and breaking things. A request for a price lower than his already rock bottom prices is usually the first thing that will set him off. Grunger also has a nervous twitch which begins to act up right before he gets pissed, giving those annoying him a few seconds to back off.

Bob

Archetype: Various

Bob is gifted in virtually every non magical field imaginable and possesses an enormous I.Q. This intellectual diversity has left him with a rather fragmented personality which, fortunately, he can pick and choose from. The result is a rather unimposing man who can deck as well as he can rig as well as he can shoot as well as he can negotiate. He is a master of disguise as well and can switch virtually every aspect of himself, be it personality, appearance, or field of knowledge, from one archetype to another. Although not a master in any one area, he can still hold his own in all of them. Kendra will occasionally send Bob along as support if the runners need it, although he always has the option of ducking out whenever he wants to.
