Rednblack: I think I would rather have a couple of smaller NQs over the single 25 pt monster of corp SIN. I think they help flesh out a character more clearly than having a single "I used to work there" quality.
Fair enough. I don't think Chaim will be any more fleshed out with Night Blindness, but if I can keep the back story and not have to worry about his own team geeking him, or HTR rushing into his apartment because his undoctored face got picked up some Azzie scan -- or as much of a worry anyway
-- that's fine by me.
Name: Chaim Delgado
Alias: Senor Fuente, AKA Blue Eyes, AKA Claudia Perez, AKA Stacks
Role: Primary face, B&E secondary
Age: 28
Race: Human
Sex: Male
Nationality: Aztlan
Ethnicity: Jewban
Physical Description: Slight of build, average height, with a forgettable face but a winning smile, Chaim looks like the guy -- or sometimes gal -- that gets passed over. He has brown hair that is slightly wavy when worn long, blue eyes, and a latte-like complexion. He eschews jewelry, but likes bespoke clothes, fine liquors, and a good cigar.
Personality and Background:
[spoiler]
Personality: Chaim is a social chameleon. He forgets himself sometimes when he's in "role," and may even believe some of the lies he's spinning, at least while he's spinning them. From his history, he's comfortable fraternizing with street rats as well as rubbing elbows with men and women of the corps. He's a natural diffuser of tension, a born negotiator, and a cool-headed infiltrator. Of course, all this comes at a cost. He finds trust a difficult emotion to invest in others, though he desperately wants to.
More than anything he would like a group of friends, people he could let his guard down around, but he tends to believe that others are as adept at manipulation as he is, or they're rubes undeserving of getting to know the real him. This tends to play itself out in a small handful of well-worn patterns. He may see a spark in someone, whether a potential romantic or platonic partner, invest himself in that person, and reveal too much too quickly, putting himself at risk. Then, he flees, burns SINs, and sets up in the next town. Or he'll keep people at arm's length too long, so long in fact that they begin to mistrust him, catch him in lies he has had running too long to keep straight himself, and there's another bridge burned. And sometimes, once, maybe twice, there was nothing wrong with Chaim or the person he chose to invest his trust in, but when Aztechnology came looking, they were the ones who paid the price. Maybe his current crew will be different, though? They seem like a solid group of chummers. One or two might even be friends. One day. If they both live long enough.
History: Chaim grew up in Managua, the middle of three boys raised by a single mother in the barrens. His older brother was a dedicated fuck up and junkie who didn't live to see his seventeenth birthday. His younger brother was a nice kid, but perhaps looked up to his eldest brother a little too much on the one hand, and the underground rabbis on the other. Chaim was taken away for his "training" before that situation really resolved itself, and this long-lost little brother -- named Micah -- remains Chaim's biggest regret.
At fourteen, Chaim's hands were discovered in the wrong pockets. A Criminal SIN, or worse, would have been the most likely outcome, but instead, Ms. Ichtaca was taken by the pluckiness of it. Here was a boy, obviously of no means, who had purloined a waiter's coat, manufactured the proper credentials to get into the restaurant, had bathed himself in the employee bathroom to wash the stench of the streets off of himself, and had already acquired three commlinks and a credstick before she caught him. Yes, Ms. Ichtaca could use a young man like that. He was given a choice with schooling and a job with Aztechnology on the one hand, and far worse on the other, but the illusion of free will was at least offered.
Upon graduating, Chaim went into intelligence. The work was dangerous, but the basic plan was for Chaim to be an indispensable as possible for as long as possible so that he could get back into the classroom, this time on the other side of the podium. Things didn't exactly go as planned. A rival as Aztech doctored his files -- for what Chaim thinks of as a very petty, if personal, reason -- and Chaim's been on the run every since. Denver, Atlanta, and now as far away from Aztlan as he can get and still stay on the continent he's always called home. [/spoiler]
