== Description ==
Knives is a smaller than average human but appears tough and wirey. He is usually seen in his Moritmer of London Greatcoat with a collared shirt and black tie underneath. His hair is cut short and geled to spike up and his deep brown eyes draw people into them.

== Background ==
Knives came into the employ of The Clerkenwell Family at the ripe young age of 19 after his best mate Jimmy signed up and has slowly been climbing up the ladder ever since. His aptitude for knives and sneakery set him apart from the other wiseguys and he was able to secure the position of "Mademan" after only five years of service. Since then Knives has headed up many "protection contacts" on behalf of the Clerkenwell Family as his talents lent well to "collections and enforcement". Thanks to his advancements within the family he was able to afford his own flat on the north side of Brixton.

Jimmy (The Blade) Hughes - Blades Dealer (3/4) - Human Male
Jimmy is an old friend from the flat complex who joined The Family not long before Knives and actually convinced him to join up. The two boys grew up aspiring to be nothing more than street thugs but once they managed to slip a butterfly knife out of some wiseguy's jacket pocket these two became fascinated by knives. Miles was always one step ahead of Jimmy in the art of wielding the blade but Jimmy had more of a knack of making connections and building a collection. It did not take long for Jimmy to put his connections to use for The Clerkenwell's and become a fairly respectable dealer.

"Ol" Nick Evans - Pub owner (2/2) - Ork Male
Ol Nick owns the local pub a block away from the flats Miles and Jimmy grew up in. The boys have known the aged Ork since childhood and have frequented his establishment on at minimum a weekly basis since they were old enough to purchase a pint. The old Ork knows his fair share about the moving and shakings of London's Underground.

Freddie Jones - Armorer (3/3) - Dwarf Male
About a year after Jimmy became acquainted with Freddie, as they often crossed paths within the semi-legal Arms and Armor business, Jimmy decided it was time. After a few deals Freddie he had earned enough trust to be introduced to Miles and the nuyen Miles was able to bring in Part of being a great knife fighter means have the best armor to protect one's self.

The Clerkenwell Family - Crime Syndicate (8/4) - Reliable Fence (20%) - 30hrs/week commitment
Miles joined up with the Clerkenwell Family shortly after his 19th birthday. His best mate Jimmy had already been a member for 8 months before he was able to sell Miles on the idea of signing up. It only took a few years for him to be noticed as an excellent "collections expert" and "protection enforcer". Miles has been granted the privilege of overseeing several protection contracts which take up a decent amount of his weekly schedule.[/spoiler]

Description
[spoiler]
White orc that wears a dark green long coat with a hood, and sports a black baseball cap and black goggles.



Background
[spoiler]
Mantis was born in a small poor neighborhood on the outskirts of Edinburgh, to a single Orc mother, Janic McMullion. At a young age Mantis started training martial arts in order to survive in his rough neighborhood. The master that though Mantis was an expert in Southern Praying Mantis, this is the style that Mantis studied. Not being able to go to school without a SIN Mantis got his schooling from his Mother Janic. At 8 yrs old Mantis had his magical skills awakened well working on a technique to extend his chi abilities in his Southern Praying Mantis style he threw a stun bolt that dropped another student in his small martial arts club. Not having anyone to train him in his magical abilities he started to go into local libraries where he could study, Mantis gained a deep love for magic and the power it gave him. This self-studies continued for 6 yrs  when he was 14 Mantis got his hands on a part time job and was able to buy himself a comm link with his comm link his library visits to learn about magic turned into on line searches for mystical knowledge. At the age of 16 Mantis got into handing out with known Scottish Syndicate members. The hanging around got into doing odd jobs for the Syndicate, as the money started to flow in Mantis began to save his illegally hard earned money. After saving and working for the Syndicate for 5 years (age 21) Mantis was able to go on a spending spree where he got his body pimped out with bio-ware in order to augment his brain and mystical abilities. Now being a full fledge adult Mantis decided to move South to London, still doing odd jobs for the Scot Syndicate to pay rent Mantis met a girl 2 years (Age 23)  after moving to London named Jennifer. The two began dating and when Mantis turned 24 he asked her to marry him. The two were living as nice of a life that a connected man and women without SIN's could live, not a high end living but a nice life none the less, but then when Mantis was 27  tragedy struck, one day Jennifer disappeared, leaving Mantis alone. After talking to the Syndicate's London Fixer that had been supplying Mantis with jobs, the Syndicate did their best to find out what had happened to Jennifer but no leads showed up. After two years now Mantis has decided to no longer to do odd jobs but to go full throttle into Shadowrunning. With his fixer looking for work for Mantis, hope for more mystical power and news on Jennifer lingers in Mantis's enhanced mind.


Notes:
Questions: RC Pg 19 (a few of them)

1)   Info about Parents
Single mother lives in Edinburgh, Father unknown
2)   Why Shadowrunning
Needs to find his wife and this might help him find her, also helps him make money and gain magical powers
3)   House info
Lives in a loft like apartment in east end of London.
4)   Negative Personality
Not like the British royal family they are rich for no good reason and they don’t have rights over Mantis since they are British and he is a Scott.
5)   Downtime
Checking through the matrix for info on magical rumors and news
6)   Skills
Learned from his mother an Orc martial artist and self-training
7)   View On Magic
A science of manipulating mana that if you have the blood for it you can gain great power but in order to gain this power you have to learn a lot and train a lot.

8)   Cyberware Background
With saved money from working odd jobs for the Scottish Syndicate he was able to get bio-ware to improve his mind and body.

9)   Ordinary life
It’s fine if you can afford it kind of on the boring side and not a lot of help at getting more magical powers.

10)   Nightmare
Not finding his wife and worrying about her.

11)   Sacred items
Wedding ring, and likes his comm link

12)   Dreams
To get his wife back and gain A LOT of magical power

13)   Street Name
Since he has trained in Southern Praying Mantis style since a young age he got tagged as Mantis when the Scottish Syndicate watched him fight.

[spoiler]
Mystic Adept Scott that is adept at both casting spells and unarmed combat. A combat Mystic with ties to a Scottish crime family.

Your bruises still hurt like fuck, it'd been three days since the punch up and your right eye was still bearing the brunt of the right hook the ork gave you.
It'd been a laugh all-rite, but even you admitted, it'd have been better to keep your gob shut on that occasion.
The tortured squealing of metal on metal signified the train's imminent arrival. the rythmic "chuck a duck duck" slowing in pace with the freight car's speed.
Your long and uncomfortable journey was nearing an end, Berlin was off the radar now for at least a few weeks, well certainly Kreuzberg was at any rate.
Clambering over the bulk load of steel, you stuck your head out of the carriage. The rain was coming in in sideways sheets of anger, lashing at the almost horizontal trees scattered about the dimly lit track.
It was not going to be a fun night sleeping out in this.
The freight train slowed to a crawl, entering the industrial sidings near Gare-du-Chelles. You had plenty of time to hop out and clear the tracks before the inspection drones came round, you knew the drill from years of experience, and it wasn't like the French were reknown for their work ethic.

Syberix pulls her now wet head back in the car with a grin and grabs her old 'army' duffle bag from beside where she was sitting.
*A few stiff drinks vill always help vis zee veather, I am sinking*
The thought of a warm bar with a good beer and sprite was enough to take her mind off the other night and the weather. As the train slows she tosses the bag over one shoulder and smirks as she casts.

[spoiler]
Casting Levitate to hop off the train
Magic 5 + Spellcasting 4 + Manipulation 2 = 11d6

That means she can levitate a maximum of 1,000kg and a movement speed of 25m/turn.

Resisting 3S Drain
Charisma 6 + Willpower 5 = 11d6
11d6.hits(5)=4
No drain!
[/spoiler]

Feeling the lightness of her body, she leaps from the car and drifts her way down to the ground near the tracks, pausing only momentarily to look at the station up ahead. She looks up into the night sky and the falling rain, squinting, before she pulls the collar of her tattered trench coat up around her neck and begins the trek up to Gare-du-Chelles

As she breaches the activity of the town she starts looking for a local bar with some beer and games to dry off in.

[spoiler]
On the prowl for a good bar

You'd swung through Chelles before and you knew of a small and fairly anonymous dive bar on the far end of the industrial estate on the north side of the town.
They had a few bunks for the lorry drivers passing through the estate and the food wasn't too extortionately priced.
It'd be about a 15 minute walk from the freight depot, through the centre of the small town.
Knowing the french tolerance (or lack thereof) for public magic usage, you sensibly drop the spell as you enter the town.
The shitty weather at least kept the streets clear, last time you came through here an ork biker gang had been shaking the locals down. Thanfully tonight was not a night for riding motorbikes.

The town hadn't changed much since you last came through here about a year ago. It was still built around a small light commercial area consisting of two intersecting roads. A Mega-EuroMart dominated the main drag, and it looked like it had put a few smaller units out of business judging by the boarded up windows.
The EuroMart was the only shop still open at this ungodly hour on a tuesday night, its canopy gave you a modicum of shelter from the torrential downpour that showed no sign of abating.

Syberix moves on into town, trying to skirt the Mega-Euromart for what cover it can provide on the way to the dive.
“"France und zis veather…..”", she mutters to herself as she walks.
<Robot! "BONSOIR JEAN-LUC! I AM IN ZE FRANCE"” You are sending zee message to Jean-Luc, Ja. >
She hurries her pace as she messages her agent a request in her normal form, the hard rain cutting at her jacket. As she arrives at the bar, she knocks the door open with a loud, THUD announcing her arrival.
She immediately makes her way to the bartender, ((French))” "Double shot of vodka and the largest size of any German beer you have on tap.”"
French food never did taste quite as good sober.

//AUTO REPLY:: Jean luc:://<<User is not currently online. Message will be delivered at next connection>>//

A small portal opened in the door, two yellow stained eyes, much larger than that of a human stared into yours, before checking to your left and right. Apparently satisfied, the locks disengaged and the bouncer let you in, giving you a once-over and a gruff grunt of acknowledgement.

The bar was half full, ork-metal playing at a comfortable level from the sound system. A couple of guys played holo-pool to your left and a smattering of tables held the majority of the other patrons, sat about drinking synthbeer on mismatching furniture.
Most seemed dressed like you; rockers, metal heads and punks with the odd trucker mixed in for good measure.
The barman, a stout looking dwarf, nods at your request, though with a little more than a raised eyebrow at your accent and implied insult to French beer.
He pulls the pint and makes a real show of coughing loudly over the top of your beer as he hands it over. Sliding a bottle of vodka, two glasses and an old-skool chalkboard down the bar to you.
Pardon, mademouseille. qauttre nuyen sil vous plais, et une nuyen por une shot. {sorry madam, 4 nuyen please and one nuyen per shot.}

Her eyes narrow momentarily as the dwarf coughs, ((French)) "You might want to get that cough looked at. Some people wouldn't appreciate it."
*kleine Scheiße*
Despite the short speech, she transfers him the nuyen, downs the shots and, if she's not readdressed, looks around the room for a set of ears that might be interested to hear about how she won that fight a few days ago.

The beer tasted chemical-ish, and a bit flat, like they hadn't cleaned the lines out properly and couldn't be arsed to change the nitrogen bottle over.
It was drinkable, but far from the best pint you had. The barman eyes you angrily, almost daring you to complain.
A couple of bikers stroll through the door as you take the first sip, sidling up to the bar whilst speaking in heavily accented french about some scrap they'd had down in Marseilles.

Syberix smiles as the new company walks into the bar, despite the flavor of the beer. It changes to a smirk as she starts eavesdropping into the conversation and eying the newcomers over for any marks that may hint more to their scuff.

[spoiler]
Visual Perception
Rank Perception 1 + Intuition 4 + Vision Enhancement 3 = 8d6
8d6.hits(5)=0 .... well looks like I'll fit in well with the boys...

Audio Perception

8d6.hits(5)=3
[/spoiler]

Without provocation, she muscles her way on into their conversation ((French)), "That is sounding like an interesting encounter. Did it by chance start over some flat beer? Or did the beer leave a bad taste in your mouth, by chance?"

As she speaks, she shoots a brief glance to the bartender, her grin turning mischievous as she does.

Both the blokes had some scarring, but it looked old. The taller of the two had a few bruises on his right arm, and the smaller one with the big beard walked with a slight limp, but in the gloom of the badly lit bar, it was nigh on impossible to make out any more than that.
From your eavesdropping, it sounds like the scrap had happened after a "friendly" race with a rival outfit, shifting goods either in or out of Marseilles, but the heavy accent and liberal use of slang terms you're not too familiar with makes it difficult to distinguish the specifics.
Both gents spin round at your unprovoked interruption, looking genuinely surprised. The taller one begins to scowl and replies ((All in accented French))"Flat beer? No? Why do you think that?" The second one catches your eye, looking maliciously at the bartender and immediately cottons on to your train of thought, flashing you a toothless smile. "Beer's always shit in here. you're better off sticking with them vodka shots. Speaking of which, mind us joining you for a round or two?"

The bartender is clearly not impressed, taking the bait. "Oi, non, you have a problem with my beer? you say it to my face. right now. SAY IT."

Syberix returns the grin, but with all teeth there to flash.
((French))"Never as fun to drink alone if there's company available... "
her head tilts to meet the bartenders eye as she continues, "...Even with flat beer."
and returns once more to the biker. "...but that's why there's vodka. And from that story you two were talking about... sounds like you might be able to give me some pointers. Ork caught me good the other day before I had to put 'em in his place."

Ha, yeah maybe!. The taller, less intelligent one, signalled for the barman to shut the fuck up and to your amazement he did just that, walking away muttering something you couldn't quite hear.
The two bikers grab their drinks and followed you over to a small table, prepping a round of vodka shots for the three of you.
The shorter one began the toast, "Op uw gezondheid!" and necked the first shot, grimacing as it hit the spot, in all the wrong ways.
"So, what you doing up here in our bar causing trouble?" said the taller one, a narrow beam of light from a broken fitting half illuminating his sewn on insignia on his left shoulder.
The smaller one chipped in:"Yeah it takes some balls to start on Pierre. He felled a troll the other week for half the insult you just gave him. What's your angle, pal? He looked at you in an accusatory manner, half distracted by pouring out another shot from your vodka.
