The Slicer

Medium Bazaar Shop/Slige, Owner/Subtle Bias Against Metahumans

A small sword shop in the middle of a magic oriented alley bazaar, The Slicer's presence isn't well appreciated by other shopkeepers due to its owner's tendency to rip people off, move out for a while, and then move back in to give more people the shaft.  The Slicer sells items of shoddy quality that utilize steel not suited for the creation of kitchen utensils.  To the untrained eye, however, the racks upon racks of gleaming weaponry look like a blade connoisseur's dream come true.   The Slicer also offers blade sharpening and alteration, which are probably the only things the shop is good for.  The subtle bias against metahumans manifests in the form of even worse gear for non-humans.

Slige

Archetype: Human Bladesmith

A slow talking, easy going individual whose mannerisms could almost be classified as "gentlemanly", Slige is a grade A manipulator, using his good looks and eloquent speech to divert people's attention from the fact that the items he sells are complete crap.  Slige got into the shitty weapons trade by accident, having hijacked a ocean transport filled with gear bound for a South American gang.  After his employer pulled out of the deal, one member of his team got the guns, another some cyberware, and Slige kept the 10000+ bladed weapons contained in the ship's hold.  He's been slowly selling them off ever since.

Slige would be relatively harmless if it wasn't for his extremely high bladed weapons skills.  Needless to say, the weapons he uses during personal combat far exceed the quality of those he sells to the general public.

Luggins

Medium Sized Luxury Restaurant/Maxine Luggins, Owner/Bias Against The Uncouth

Luggins specializes in meals possessing virtually unintelligible names that cost just over a hundred bucks (which is still dirt cheap on the grand scale of things).  Not popular enough to attract extremely high end clientele, the staff at Luggins often has to deal with pseudo-millionaires who just want to be seen in a nice place, but don't have the mannerisms required to even so much as enter a downtown establishment.  In an effort to improve their image, Luggins has instituted a policy under which they will do virtually anything (including offering money) to get uncultured people out of the restaurant.

Marsha

Archetype: Human Waitress

In her early twenties, Marsha majored in nonparanormal science, a field that has gotten less and less popular with corporations as time has passed.  Currently she's stuck working as a waitress and has the tendency to end up with the most uncouth patrons on the face of the earth.

Koop Corporate Costumes

Medium Clothing Store/C. Elrod Koop, Owner/No Bias

Located in a strip mall, Koop Corporate Costumes (aka "KCC") sells a variety of generic corporate costumes and uniforms.  They will also create an imitation of any uniform for any company that is not in the first 50 of the Fortune 500 list (nobody wants an annoyed Aztechnology showing up at their door).   The custom costumes can get rather expensive, with the average price settling at around 350 nuyen.

Gavinto

Archetype: Human Clothing Store Worker

A completely blank man in his late 50s, it is very possible to accidentally mistake Gavinto as one of those animatronic characters you see at an amusement park.  Once Gavinto receives a request, it is virtually impossible to get him to switch gears.
