Johnny Bragfoot
Archetype: Human Snitch
Johnny has been shot fifteen times, beaten up forty times,
and threatened more times than he can count (if he actually has the ability
to count). His short, stocky, busted up figure shows off the results of
the countless acts of revenge he brought upon himself from snitching to the
cops about shadowrunner activity. An oddity in the world of snitches, Johnny
only talks to the cops and never to anybody else. Why he does this is anybody’s
guess, although rumor says the cops pay for the luxury hotel room of his
choice during the day.
This is not to say that Johnny is useless to a shadowrunner. He’s pretty
stupid and is open to great amounts of manipulation, making it relatively
easy for a runner to trick him into thinking they’re a cop. Just don’t
ask any questions about the cops; that’ll kinda give you away.
Little Lisa
Archetype: Troll Snitch
Little Lisa is far from being little.
Not only is she a troll, but an obese troll as well. She weighs well over 700
pounds and must use a large motorized cart in order to get around.
Little Lisa will give you any information she can in exchange for food
and perhaps a recharge of her cart’s battery. And when I say food, I’m
not talking about a candy bar or something. She’ll want 40 soyburgers or
a Bulk Bucket O’ Chicken from the Cluck N’ Suck Restaurant down the street.
Her information tends to revolve around restaurants a lot, and she has tons
of information on who eats where and with who. Lisa’s voice is meek, except
when she laughs, at which time she bellows in traditional troll style.
Coin Man
Archetype: Human Snitch
Short and thin with a black beard that touches his feet,
Coin Man wanders the streets in search of spare change, apparently unaware
that credsticks all but eliminated coins many years ago. As he wanders
he sees a lot and knows much about the comings and goings of those living
in his neighborhood. He’s more than happy to give you information for a
small price, usually only a buck or two, but there’s a catch: It has to
be in coins. He will accept no other form of payment. When confronted with
a cred stick he’ll always say, in a raspy voice, “No gum for me, thank
you.”
