Sorry for double posting here, but here are my contacts. I ended up taking 2 from the Missions prep files; one from Feral Cities, and created one of my own. If you need more background (specifically on the one I made up) just tell me. I wish spoilers worked. This post is going to be long, hopefully nobody minds. I'm posting their backgrounds in case anyone wants to take them as their connected contact.

Lothan the Wise | Talismonger
Connection 4 | Loyalty 3
Lothan the Wise ran the shadows of Seattle for many years, his prime being during the mid-’60s when he mentored and teamed with Street Legend Kellan Colt. He considers himself a mystical genius which he backs up with towering confidence and arrogance, and he considers himself an expert in all areas of magic and magic theory. His attitude may be a little unwarranted, but you cannot deny he knows a lot about magic. He moved to Chicago a couple years ago and opened up a talismonger shop called “The Wisest Troll.”
Lothan is an aging Troll, though he is still massive and powerful. What he has lost in physical prowess, he makes up for in magical ability. His hair is bone white, and he dresses very flashy, favoring purple and gold robes over his armor, and he wears expensive jewelry that doubles as powerful magical foci.

Sarah Silverleaf | Fixer
Connection 5 | Loyalty 2
Sarah Silverleaf is a gorgeous and intelligent elven representative for Renraku in Chicago. She recently transferred here from Tîr Tairngire, taking over the operations that Renraku had largely abandoned following Bug City. With the Governor’s call to reclaim downtown Chicago, Sarah is looking to not only reclaim lost Renraku property, but to also grab as much land as possible. She may be a curvy knockout, but anyone who underestimates her lives to regret it.
Sarah looks like a buxom, blonde “naughty secretary,” a look she plays up for all it’s worth. Short skirts, low-cut blouses, and a flirty smile backed up by big credstick get this lady anything she wants.

'Egrand' Alexeij | Gang Leader
Connection 4 | Loyalty 2
After their previous leader, self-proclaimed King Vlad, died in June of 2068 in a violent dispute with the True Chicagoans over highway tolls for stretches of the interstates running through Horde-controlled territory, the ork gang boss Alexeij took over command of the Horde and its primarily metahuman population. Alexeij emerged undefeated in the fights for succession and immediately relocated his headquarters to the Govinda Enterprises Golf Course, between Jefferson Park and Lincolnwood.
The Horde consists of numerous small- and mid-sized gangs sworn to Alexeij. Each outfitt controls its own turf and sources of income. Every month or two, there’s a big to-do where the gangbosses bring gifts to the Egrand, who divvies them up—insuring that every gang has what it needs to survive.
Heavily involved in the Or’zet movement and ork subculture, Alexeij remodeled his mob’s structure and war council hierarchy according to ork urban legends. While he handles trade negotiations with outside enclaves, his lieutenants carry out raids or run the regular bloodsport events and rutra matches (Or’zet: ork martial art).
The most prominent gangs under Alexeij’s direct control are the Nko-Ga (Or’zet: Metal fists), the Fleshmongers, and the Scorchers. Our internal investigations pinpoint the Fleshmongers as the responsible party for the organized grave robbery throughout the Montrose and Bohemian National Cemeteries this summer.
While outnumbered by other factions, the Egrand and his gangs have access to a large pool of vehicles put together and maintained with parts acquired during raids or from trading. The Horde collects a toll from anyone traveling on the highways or through Alexeij’s turf. Primarily trading mechanical parts or surplus vehicles with the Northside collectives, any contraband or black market merchandise is sold to Alexeij’s smuggler contacts near Calumet. Alexeij maintains tight relationships with outside smuggler outfits, exclusively delivering their contraband to Hordecontrolled markets, while his mechanics provide maintenance work for the smugglers’ T-Birds and VTOL’s.

Johnny Greene | Smuggler
Connection 5 | Loyalty 2
Johnny Greene is a rough and grim looking Dwarf. Spending most of your life in the CZ will do that to you. Born in 2050, he grew up tough like most who lived in the CZ, and he quickly found out he was exceptional at finding the ins and outs through Chicago.
As soon as he could, he got himself fitted with a control rig and started his own smuggling business. He spent some time away from Chicago building his list of contacts, but he's back now. Most people know him; if you need it, he can get it for you. It's only logical that you would pay through the nose for it.

I don't know how you want us to post character sheets, if you want them here at all. I can do chummer5 file, or a spreadsheet. Or just plain posting format like what is used at the Character Creation subforum.
