Status: Currently Running: Urban Brawl
Availibility: Can post every day, some days are a little more limited than others but overall I have a fair amount of time to post.
Books: All
Archetype: All. I love Technomancers, not too hot on riggers or mundane hackers but I'm not picky.

Characters: I have 20+ characters that are ready-to-play or can be made ready-to-play in a very short amount of time or modified to fit a particular setting, play style, or gen requirement.

I have a demolitions character I've been wanting to play but I'm happy with any kind of character.

Go ahead and PM me if you've got an opening :)

Status: Looking for Work!
Availability: Got plenty of time to post. I can at least post once a day if not more if people are actively posting back and forth that day. Busier during weekends because that's when I play Shadowrun/DnD in real life.
Books: The aniversry addition of the core rule book and a good number of the supplements.
Characters: I have Three characters.  A gunslinger (guy who uses pistols and good infiltrating), A magician (he's got a more combat spells than anything) Orc gunner (guy who has firearms 4, no contact's and amnesia)

A note you should probably know is i'm new to shadowrun, but i do have experience with RPing. I run a Starwars RP board for about 5 years and I like to write on my free time as well as play tabletop games. So i'm no newbie in that regard. I also made these three characters while being mostly new so they aren't overly optimized except maybe the Gunslinger who has the highest dice pool i've made which is for shooting his pistols. (20 dice - 27 if i use edge) I would love to play some games to experience Shadowrun more because as a DM i believe I am lacking a good portion of knowledge on Shadowrun and would like to up my game a bit. Best way is through immersion in my experience.

Code names:
Zilfer (Real name: Garn Trump) (Race: Human gunslinger)
Scythe (Real name: Undetermined) (Race: Human Mage)
Orik (Real name: He doesn't remember) (Race: Orc. Funny name no?)

If you have room for me just PM me and I'll discuss with you send you my character sheet and whatever else we need to do to get that out of the way. :D Look forward to playing with some of you guys! (I also have AIM and MSN that you could contact me on but your best bet is AIM or to PM me. AIM Screen name is : Mathew225
Having access to Ares Technology isn't so bad, being in a room that's connected to the 'trix with holographic display throughout the whole room isn't bad either. Food, drinks whenever you want it. Over all not bad, but being unable to leave and with a Female Dragon? No Thanks! ~The Captive Man

LOOKING FOR WORK

Commitment: Can post once per day +

Preferred Archetype: Would like to try an esoteric character such as a ghoul adept. I'm fascinated with a ghoul at the tipping point between losing it totally and going feral vs clawing his way back to sanity and functionality. I have two possible narratives in mind for this char, depending on the treatment he receives from running companions and some other factors.

Example:

Mr Scraps is a huge troll vagrant the homeless population of Seattle holds in quiet awe. He trusts no one but a local street doc who seems to be able to get him to work as brute labor from time to time - and, infrequently, as a debt collector or muscle for hire.

Scraps is a ghoul troll adept, made with 400 bp, SR4, SM, RC. He's a decent beatstick but more of a tank in that while he certainly can deal damage, he's more optimized for taking damage. He's got good potential for longer term play but isn't actually all that optimized as he enters play with 400bp.

Full sheet to come when I get it formatted

Strikes again!

Name: Fenris Greybeard
Alias: Thunderhead
Race: Dwarf
Sex: Male
Nationality: German
Lifestyle: Medium
Karma Spent: 0
Physical Description:
Stocky dwarf wearing a chainmail coif and a shoulder holster sporting a vintage Colt 1911. Has a thick grey and black beard, medium weathered complexion, and bright, dark eyes. His front teeth have been replaced by black metal replacements. Overall features appear to be rather predatory, almost wolfish. Fenris was born in the year 2020, and therefore is one of the older dwarves around.
Personality/background
Usually has a cautious, dark expression, and tends to grumble in a deep voice. He rarely raises his voice in anger among his friends, as he treats his companions as pack mates. When engaged in a fight, however, he can be brutally fierce, and often has a hard time breaking off even when outnumbered. His loud, booming voice is often heard over the fray.

Fenris is from the area known as Alsace-Lorraine, a region between Germany and France. He has long been a druid in the region, protecting native beasts and populace against paranormal creatures that would seek to upset the balance of nature. This includes such abominations as Loup-Garou, vampires, and their brethren. This also includes any who would seek to pollute or otherwise spoil the land, with exceptional animosity towards toxic and insect shamans.

He is a mystic adept druid who follows the totem of Morrigan, the Terrible Queen. When speaking with his mentor spirit, she takes the form of a giant black wolf, aiding him in both Combat and Beast spells. Fenris has incorporated traditional Celtic blacksmithing into his Druidic studies, and incorporates this into his armor, fetishes, foci, and even his spells.

Fenris is an accomplished Beastmaster, and has brought several of his most trusted animals with him to Seattle. This includes a rare Merlin Hawk, who has the ability to cast any of the Detection or Illusion spells with ease, and also includes his pack mate, a huge Fenrir Wolf who is his constant companion. Fenris has been known to cast illusion spells on his faithful pet in order to disguise his true nature. Sometime after arriving in Seattle, a Blackberry Cat found his home inviting and made herself at home.

Fenris has always had problems with technology, likely a result of the wild magic coursing through his blood. His magic is used to shape the will of beasts and metal, and this chaotic energy causes modern devices to spring to pieces in his presence. The only device he allows himself is his commlink, and he only uses it when necessary due to the high costs of constantly having it fixed. His weapon is a vintage Colt 1911 .45 Automatic, which were made on ancient metalworking machines long before the age of nanoforges and smart materials.

During his training to become a druid, he was exposed to the HMHVV-infected blood of ghouls and other Infected creatures, which helps him to attune his senses when hunting them. This had the unfortunate side effect of making Fenris permanently allergic to silver.

He is fairly new to the city of Seattle, having followed a particularly powerful ghoul to the city all the way from Germany. He may plan to return to his native lands in the future, but for now he is more than content to see what the world has to offer him in both wisdom and wealth.

Animal Companions

FENRIR WOLF
Canis lupus aesiri

Habitat: Forests

Range: Germany, Scandinavia, and far Eastern Europe

Frequency: Uncommon

Identification: The fenrir wolf is a large canine, standing 150 centimeters tall with a length of 220 centimeters. It can weigh up to 150 kilograms. It has short, dense fur that can be white, cream, red, brown, grey, black, or a mottled pattern mix. It has well-developed canines and curved claws. Females are typically smaller than males.

Habits: The fenrir wolf is the Awakened version of the common European wolf. It is a nocturnal carnivore that hunts in packs of six to eight members. It is fearless, and it attacks all manner and sizes of targets. It is territorial, and packs have fought over territory, though deaths are infrequent. It is highly resistant to magic, strong beyond its size, able to crush bone in its jaws, and the most feared predator in Europe. Farmers hire armed security to protect cattle from roving packs.

Fenrir wolf packs have both an alpha male and an alpha fe- male. Females can have up to six pups in a den that is dug among bushes or rocks. While the male will bring home food for the caring female and pups, he will also kill off weaker pups or entire litters if necessary so that only the strongest join the pack. Fenrir wolves have a lifespan of 10 years.

The numbers of fenrir wolves are kept low by a shortage of suitable habitat and hunting. As with the golden boar, the German government’s protection of the Black Forest and Saeder-Krupp’s species protection program has helped stabilize fenrir wolf numbers, though not without some resistance. S-K has also worked out a breeding program to produce fenrir wolves for security. The corporation takes pups that would have otherwise been killed by an alpha male. Such security animals fetch a high price on the market, as it’s almost impossible to tame a wild fenrir.

MERLIN HAWK
Falco velox
Habitat: Fields and light forests

Range: In Europe, the northern British Isles and Tír na nÓg in the spring and southern France in the winter. In North America, the northeastern region of the continent in spring and the southern region in the winter.

Frequency: Uncommon

Identification: The merlin hawk measures a half-meter in length with a meter wingspan and weighs an average of 4 kilograms. Males have a blue-grey back and wing feathers with a reddish brown underbelly. The females are dark brown with a tan underbelly. Both have a strong eye stripe, with a reddish tinge in males. Males change colors during the spring to red with a white spotted chest.

Habits: The merlin hawk is the Awakened version of the common merlin (Falco columbarius). While the merlin can be considered two different species—North American and European variants— the merlin hawk appears to be one species that was simultaneously Awakened on both continents.

The merlin hawk is a carnivorous diurnal predator, hunting small rodents and birds. It is also known to eat devil and demon rats. It is territorial, and it uses its extraordinary speed to drive all other birds of prey from its territory.

Males and females live as mated pairs from spring to winter. Breeding pairs also hunt cooperatively, as one flushes out prey animals towards the mate. Males compete with complex aerial dances to attract females and resolve disputes.

Merlin hawks sometimes take over an abandoned nest in- stead of making their own nests in trees or grassy hills—especially in Europe. The female will have four ruddy brown eggs at a time. The male will provide food for her and the chicks. Chicks become fledglings in 30 days, and they will be dependent upon their parents for up to four weeks. Older siblings sometimes help their parents feed and protect fledglings.

The merlin hawk has been noted to be magically active and capable of casting spells and summoning spirits. They appear to use these talents only when threatened or provoked. Because of this magical activity, some believe that the merlin hawk is sapient, as it does take considerable intelligence to use magic to this degree. The Society of Hawks in New York has worked to protect hawks and paid particular attention to the merlin hawk. So far, no one has petitioned for the merlin hawk to be given metahuman rights. More psychoanalysis and attempts at communication will need to be performed before such a resolution is feasible.

Merlin hawks are particularly vulnerable to willow wood and poisons. Poachers of their feathers—a valued telesma—have used old-fashioned bows with willow wood arrows to hunt them. It is also noted that merlin hawks can sense and react negatively to creatures with unusually low essence due to the effects of drugs, implants, or the Infected.

BLACKBERRY CAT
Felis nigra
Habitat: The blackberry cat stays close to human settlements, even pretending to be a domestic stray. It lives in buildings and alleys, and it has the same diet as regular housecats.

Range: Throughout Europe

Frequency: Common

Identification: The blackberry is the same size as a regular housecat, though averaging around 15 kilograms in weight. In Southern Europe, it is jet black with slight tawny tones at the tips of its long fur, while in Northern Europe the blackberry can be snow white with dark-toned tips. It walks with its long feathery tail erect. While its behavior resembles that of a housecat, it displays extraordinary intelligence and cunning. It’s nearly impossible to surprise or capture one, though like normal cats they find catnip irresistible.

Habits: The blackberry cat is an Awakened species of the wild cat (Felis silvestris), possibly intermingled with the domestic subspecies.

Blackberry cats still face a legacy of superstition in Southern Europe as black cats, and they have a standing bounty in some countries. In some rural places, black cats can even be burned, fearing the ire of the blackberry cat. This may explain the coloration found on the species in the north.

The blackberry cat is an urban-dependant species. While it still has instincts to hunt rodents and birds, it prefers the processed products of urban living. Blackberry cats do not fear metahumans, and they take advantage of open doors and windows to partake in metahuman comforts. They walk among us like regular cats and even come up to metahumans for attention or food. Even with all this boldness, they have a sixth sense about threats and can usually avoid or evade them. They are very social creatures with ranks. While they don’t move in packs, they do engage in social gatherings of ten to fifteen cats.

Blackberry cats are known to move faster than normally possible as well as project threatening images to frighten away aggressors like dogs. This phantasm ability has also been observed in males fighting over territory and females. While the phantasm appears abstract, it remains startling imagery. No use of this power has been seen in mating rituals.

They are an annoyance as well as a mystery, as they can enter locked rooms or open cabinets and containers to steal food. The superstition surrounding the blackberry cat is not totally unfounded, as it is theorized that these cats can influence metahumans to provide food or shelter. Observance of their vocalization and behavior has recorded only typical cat meows and purrs, suggesting that a subconscious connection may be induced through physical contact.

Blackberry cats have similar breeding habits as housecats, with a spring and summer mating season. They find warm, secluded places to give birth to litters of six to eight kittens.

Offering Work
I am currently learning to run the system so core book only for the time being. It's 2080's. This is a story driven campaign but sandbox and free thought are allowed and encouraged. I'd prefer characters that are built to grow not min and max. Everyone starts with the free (Johnson- Simone. Loyalty 3 Connections 6.) Feel free to toss the Caster and Technomancer in there as I am struggling with their rule sets. The campaign will take you from concord to seattle to brazil so build appropriately. PM if interested, but do so quickly Simone is a man driven by results, and waiting about rarely gets those.

Name: Æge Söderström
Alias: Tug
Race: Troll: Giant
Sex: Male
400BP
First time playing I have most all 4E books

Physical Description:  Physically imposing doesn’t quite describe a Troll Giant. At 3 Meters tall and 467 Kilo grams This impressive specimen stands out in a crowd. His skin is brown with a Gray on Significant dermal deposits on his joints and back. There is a brownish hue on the rougher texture of his joints and back. The stony texture of his joints and long physique make it appear that his bones makes up half of his mass. Æge's hair is chest length and usually covers his eyes and most of his face. His upper and lower torso is incased by chromed Dermal Sheathing. His face is long with deep set eyes and jointed nose. He wears Berwick trousers and a flash Ulysses line jacket covering an Armor vest with shock frills. His eyes are solid dark gray almost black and have the texture of oiled cast iron..

Contacts (14 BP)
Kurosaki Isao - Yakuza Fixer (3C/5L)
Isao is Motoko's childhood friend, and sometimes lover. She came over to the UCAS with him when he was sent to be a liason with some of the clans in Seattle, and he is one of the only people who knows her both as Motoko and as Jane.

Lady Godiva - Metasapient AI (3C/3L)
Lady Godiva is a metasapient AI Motoko met in the Matrix, and helped save her from the predations of another AI named AngelEyes. The Lady is fascinated with technomancers, and knows a great deal about the nether realms of the Matrix.


Background:
Jane Green was born in Neo-Tokyo in 2052, the daughter of a mid-level functionary in the UCAS embassy and a native Japanese woman, which granted her dual citizenship. Growing up, one of her closest childhood friends was Kurosaki Isao, the third son of a Yakuza lieutenant, who was a year older than she was.

Jane was busy watching anime on the Matrix when, in 2064, halfway across the world Novatech was making it's IPO on the ECSE. When the Dissonance Worm hit Neo-Tokyo, she was still online. A week later, she awoke from her coma, in a hospital bed, as if nothing had happened. But from that day on, things were different for her.

She began developing her newfound technomancer abilities, learning to become a hacker. But she was more than just a hacker. To her, this new wireless world she'd been shown was more real than the real world. In the meat world, she was Jane Green, no more, no less. In the virtual world, she was whoever or whatever she wanted to be.

When Isao was sent to Seattle by his father, now an oyabun in his clan, to act as a liason between the main family and the Seattle branch of the clan, Jane followed him, and in the process took the opportunity granted her to step out of her old life, and become someone completely new. She became Kusanagi Motoko, named after one of her favorite anime characters. When she first got to Seattle, she did some work with Isao's clan, but as a half-Japanese woman, she had no future in the clan, except as a housewife, so, after getting settled in the Emerald City, she struck out on her own, as a shadowrunner.

The technomancer purges of 2071 were a harrowing time for her, but thanks in part to Isao's protection, Motoko was able to avoid getting caught up in some of the violence that struck so many of her kind. As the hysteria waned, she was able to convince Isao that her abilities were just as useful now as they were before people knew where they came from.

Nuyen left: 1210

Advanced Lifestyle:
Comforts: High - 4

Entertainment: Luxury - 6
Sakura has memberships to all the most exclusive clubs in the sprawl, and can walk into any club she wants, and expect to get a table.

Necessities: High - 4
Sakura eats simple meals, but those meals are all real food, without a trace of soy. Her building has a secure underground parking facility, and  her suite is a 300 square meter condo. She wears only the latest fashions.

Neighborhood: High - 4
Sakura lives in a high class area of the sprawl. Response times are less than three minutes, and neighborhood watch groups will call the police if anyone looks out of place. Nekomusumi has only recently become accepted enough in the neighborhood that people recognize her, and stop calling the police.

Qualities

Well Made (+1) - Sakura's apartment is very well made, allowing her to live in comfort, despite the weather outside.
Living by Committee (-2) - The neighborhood association holds meetings frequently, and expects residents to abide by their decisions.
No Privacy (-2) - Big, open windows allow for a spectacular view of the area, but also reduces the thresholds for physical surveillance by 2.

Contacts (12 BP)
Blake Jones - Fixer (Connection 2/Loyalty 2)
Blake is a good ol' boy born and bred in Atlanta. He's been working Atlanta's shadows for a while, and actually helped Neko get her start in the town (a 'favor' he made her pay off on her back). Now he sends her work when he has something that fits her skills.

Snake Charmer - Blogger (Connection 2/Loyalty 2)
Snake Charmer is a naga by the name of Seketh. He learned enough about the modern world to become a very talented hacker, and has since managed to 'own' himself, through various fronts. He runs the Serpent's Shadow blog, providing a resource to the 'nontraditional' (read: infected, non-metahuman sapients, and changeling) runner crowd in Atlanta.

Roxy Red - Prostitute (Connection 2/Loyalty 2)
Roxy is an Elf who works at the Cheetah Club, an upscale gentleman's club/brothel. She hears a lot of information from the boozed up clients she serves, and she passes the information on to Nekomusumi, sometimes.


Description:
Nekomusumi looks in most respects like an attractive Japanese woman. However, when she became a Changeling, several physical changes came over her. She has a long black tail like a cat's, her ears have moved to the top of her head and are now shaped like a cat's with black fur, her eyes are a brilliant purple, and slitted like a cat's, she has sixteen pairs of whiskers on her face like a cat, and her finger and toe nails have elongated into cat's claws.

In social settings, Nekomusumi tends to wear either a lined coat with the season's latest fashions (modified for her tail, of course), or the new Teg-mentum holowear, allowing her to project all kinds of clothes over her body. On runs, she usually wears a chameleon suit, and a Death Mask styled like a jaguar.


Background:
Ikari Sakura was born in Chiba in 2049. Her parents were corporate citizens of Renraku as computer programmers. Her early life was fairly uneventful, growing up in a corporate enclave, and enjoying the lifestyle that a child of corporate citizens usually received. That all changed when she was twelve, and Haley's Comet decided to make life crazy for everyone.

Her reaction to the Comet's passing was to undergo a painful and dramatic change, developing characteristics like the catgirls that had so long been part of Japanese culture in anime and manga. Her exotic looks caused her to become a target even at that young age, and she was kidnapped by members of the Yakuza. She was shipped (literally) to Seattle in a cargo container, where she spent several years working off her 'debt' to the Yakuza as a toy for the use of several of the higher ranking Yakuza. However, as she got older, she managed to escape the brothel where she was being held, and fled into the shadows, where she made a living as a thief.

She's since settled in Atlanta, well away from the Seattle Yakuza. She still works as a thief for hire, but has managed to work her way up into the higher class social circles, being something of an oddity.

Built With: 400BP, Free Contacts = Cha*2

Name: Iokua Kaʻanāʻanā
Alias: Lost
Race: Elf
Sex: Male
Nationality: Hawaiian
Lifestyle: High (20 LP)
Total Karma: 0
Karma Spent: 0
Physical Description
Meat:
1.93 meters tall, with a medium build (heavy for an elf) and milk-white skin, which is almost completely covered by tattoos, all done in a vibrant black ink that contrasts the colorless skin. Dark pink eyes and darkly vibrant red hair kept cut to shoulder-length.

Astral:
Astral form appears to be almost the same as his meat body sans tattoos, but completely translucent and traced by a thick black border.

Icon:
On the Matrix, Lost appears to be a soap bubble floating in the air, iridescent and translucent.

Personality/Background
Lost is, to most people, a quiet, reserved individual, a friendly person always willing to help out a neighbor. Those people have never seen the inside of his apartment. Or the inside of his mind. Lost is a pure hedonist, seeking out the pleasures in life for himself, willing to use whatever tools are at his disposal to attain those goals. He practices his magic because it brings him pleasure to do so, and it affords him opportunities that would otherwise be denied him.

Born December 31st, 2049 at 11:59:59pm, Iokua was raised in the belief that his family was descended from the kahuna that had protected the rulers of Hawai'i of old from mystical threats. When his magical talent surfaced, his family was thrilled that they had produced a new kahuna and began to groom him to one day take his "rightful" place as a defender of the independence of the islands and those who would support it.

Iokua had a single friend throughout most of his life - a menehune named Akani who was born at the same time and date as Iokua was. The two became close fairly quickly, and were all but inseparable throughout their formative years and later. They became blood-brothers through ritual, carried out in secrecy from their families. As they grew older, they began to discuss how to leave the island and escape their lives; Iokua from his 'destiny' and Akani from being 'just another dwarf'. Between the two of them, they formed a workable plan.

Akani was skilled with his hands; Iokua was magically gifted. With the combination of summoned spirits and Akani's workmanship, they crafted a boat sturdy enough to carry them to the mainland, where they could find their own lives. On the eve before their eighteenth birthday, after Iokua had spent almost a week erasing all material links the two had, they set off in the ship, christened the Freedom.

Alas, it wasn't meant to be. A tropical storm broke out over the ocean a few days into the voyage. Even with a water spirit propelling the ship forward, they couldn't outrun the storm. Akani was tossed overboard as the ship was thrown back and forth like some child's toy over the waves, and Iokua was thrown head-first into the deck of the ship, knocking him unconscious.

Iokua awoke hours later, a very wet, half-drowned elf on the shores of CalFree, just outside of San Francisco. He'd made it... but lost his brother in the process. He vowed to not let his blood brother's death be in vain, though. The plan had worked, after all; the ship had gotten at least one of them to the mainland. So Iokua set out to find a new, better life.

He didn't find it. He obtained a legal SIN in CalFree, but with no background and nothing to really offer, the young mage couldn't find any kind of work and was forced to live on the streets. One night, he was jumped by a group of younger teens belonging to a local wizgang called the Satanists of Diablerie. After he killed them (in self-defense), he was approached and made an offer - join or get geeked. He joined; after all, how much worse could it be than having to eke out a meager existence on the streets, getting jumped?

The Satanists of Diablerie were a black magic group who demanded their followers practice magic their way. Their initiation rite involved making a pact with their Mentor - the Dark King. Iokua made the pact freely, an almost Faustian deal - in exchange for the Dark King's assistance in life, in death he would become the Dark King's servant, a guardian in the land of the dead.

Iokua took to the black magic outlook of the wizgang quickly; hedonism, being self-serving, and taking what one wants in life appealed greatly to the young mage who had fled his home in an attempt to escape the trappings of tradition. For a time, he became almost sociopathic, using his magic to bull his way through obstacles and hammer aside opposition.

That changed pretty quickly around 2070. The Satanists of Diablerie were approached by an organized crime group - Iokua never found out who. When they refused to sign on with them, the wizgang became their target of opportunity, to make a name for themselves in the town by wiping out an established local presence who refused them. The gang was systematically assassinated, in drive-bys, bombings and other assorted nastiness.

Iokua booked it when the majority of the gang had been wiped out. He cleansed his material links and tried to get away as quietly as he could. When the bus he had boarded (to get to Los Angeles) was attacked by the crime syndicate, Iokua thought his all-too-short life had come to an end. That's when Akani showed up; he'd washed up in LA and spent the last two years trying to find his blood brother, slowly becoming an information broker in the process. Along with Akani came a well-established go-gang on bikes with heavy weapons that blasted the vehicles of the syndicate to pieces.

Reunited after three years apart, Iokua and Akani returned to LA together, where Iokua played "magical assistance" to Akani's information broker services. Which meant that he spent a lot of time on his ass while his rich and influential friend made nuyen hand over fist. After a year of this, however, Iokua became... well, bored. At least in the wizgang, he was living on the edge, dancing the knife-edge between life and death every day. Akani gave his blood-brother a chance at finding that excitement again; he sent him to Seattle and fixed him up with a comfy life and a Fixer. Running the shadows should be pretty exciting, right?

Well, after another year went past, and a small number of shadowrunning jobs under his belt, Iokua began looking for something... bigger. He'd lived in small places all of his life; the islands, the ten mile radius that the Satanists had control over, the apartment building Akani owned and worked out of. He wanted size. He wanted immensity. He wanted to see the world and all that was in it.

A few phone calls later, and a job out of the country was lined up...

5er0HackerC4/L2
  • 5er0 (pronounced Vernon) is a surprisingly skilled troll hacker that Lost ran into in the meat one day. Lost helped 5er0 out of a tight jam, by dropping a stunball on a group of Humanis Policlubbers looking for an easy target (and apparently a glasses-wearing troll dressed in nerdy slogans counted). While the two aren't especially close, 5er0 helps Lost out from time to time with his "madd Troggy Matrix skillz", and has his own fairly long-reaching resources in the form of a mutinational hacker group he belongs to.

background
Na’Nele was born in the Ikeja division in Lagos, close to the rain forest.  She was the seventh child of twelve and one of the only four to survive into adulthood.  Life in Ikeja was hard, but as her father and two older brothers all worked in an Ares factory, at least they had food on the table.  From a young age she had to help running the household, including rummaging through garbage piles for anything remotely useful that could be sold or used.  It was this that claimed to life of so many children, as they got wounds while going through the piles of trash and those got infected.  She also got wounds, but they always seemed to heal in no time.

When she turned ten, things changed.  As orks matured faster, she started to fill out and the local area boys started looking at her differently.  One evening when she was a little later coming back from the waste piles, two of them assaulted her.  While everybody in Lagos carries a weapon of some sorts, if only a knife, normally a ten year old ork should not be able to win against two older area boys.  But that was what happened.  She managed to dodge their attacks and place a couple of hits on painful places.  Unfortunately Area boys never work in groups of two and their friends joined in.  She couldn’t fend them all of.

They had just put her against the ground when gunfire ripped through the night.  Na’Nele just kept close to the ground, knowing like everybody in Lagos what to do when a gunfight broke out close by.  Run or get under cover.  When there was a pause in the fight, she made a run for it and went home quickly.  When she told the story to her mother, she at first didn’t believe it until she repeated a few of the tricks.  While not educated, they weren’t stupid and they knew that she had magical powers.  The following day her father took her with him to work and after a quick examination by a mage in the factory she was sold to Ares.

The following years she spent in training as a bodyguard for expeditions going into the rainforest to harvest telesma.  While she was a city dweller, Lagos can also be considered a jungle so she adapted quite well.  And she quickly learned how to handle guns and she also quickly learned English.  Other advanced technology took a bit more time.  As Ares employee who already knew the local languages, she was often used as go-between for the expedition leaders and the local porters they used.  During one of the trips in the jungle they were attacked by ekyelebenle and while she healed quickly, since then she has a mild allergy to their venom.

She did develop her powers more and she also learned to astrally perceive, something very useful while out in the jungle.  While all telesma harvesting expeditions always had a mage with them, those were not always useful in combat against paracritters, spirits and other astral critters out there.  They even had a monofilament sword made for her that was also a weapon focus so she could combat those critters.  By the time she was 18 she was one of their better guards and while back in Lagos she tried to learn as much as possible about various critters so she could recognise them.

But that was in the future as when she was 16 she was approached by a woman while going back to the compound after a rare visit to her family.  She told her about saving a young girl some years ago and wanting to save more.  To make a long story short, after an initiation Na’Nele joined the daughters of Yemaja.  She quickly became very valuable for the organisation as she had access to transports.  When going on an expedition she could easily hide one or two woman among the porters without her employers being any the wiser.  When in the city she participated in raids on Cherubiums and things like that.  She also kept left-over supplies from expeditions (like medication, water purification tablets, food and things like that) to give to the organization.

It was on a raid like this that things went wrong.  She was 18 and had been told she would have to go to the UCAS for an assignment.  The night before she had to leave she participated in one more raid.  Unfortunately among the ones killed were two Ares scientists working on an important project in Lagos (and one was the son of a VP). She didn’t know it then, as the bodies had been burned beyond recognition, but the Ares people did find out she had been involved.  So when she had gone into Chicago with a team, they sent her out to scout and then left her.  What they hadn’t calculated on was the fact that she had survived hell holes before and she managed to get out.  But now she had to survive in a strange country where she was the Oyibos.  And on top Ares had of course blocked all her accounts and deleted the SIN they’d given her, leaving her only with the money she still had with Kayin, a hawala in Apapa.

For almost two years she managed to get by, doing odd jobs left and right.  She had kept all the stuff Ares had equipped her with, although she did have someone go over it to remove all the tags.  During these two years, she did a lot of hooding jobs, continuing what she had been doing with the daughters of Yemaja in Lagos, but also other things.  She was wary of going against Ares though, as she knew they still had a large file on her.
