Ok I'll give a shot too, as I'm looking forward to get to play test the 5th edition.
You'll easily guess the inspiration of the character: a short man, short tempered, with some metallic skeleton and claws, who can take a beating and live up to tell the story.
[spoiler]
Description:Logan is a giant... for Dwarf standards that is. At 5'2" he could almost pass for a very short human. Strong and bulky, he keeps a grim look on his rarely trimmed face. He's often seen with a cigar in his mouth; it keeps him calm.
Background:Logan entered the dive bar at the still-civilized-edge of the Barrens. It bore no name and the drinks were watered down, but he knew he could find some shadowrunners there. A few heads turned when he came in, while many just stayed on with their business or glued to the Urban Browl game going on on the old trideo sceen. Whiffs of scents were analyzed and filtered out by his olfactory booster and for a second he considered shutting it off as some odors were just unpleasants, but decided otherwise; maybe he would smell someone he had met before or someone associated with a known group.
He climbed a stool at the bar and ordered a beer. He wasn't expecting to see a human female behind the counter. She wasn't ugly but wouldn't do the cover of any magazine, even with a good few tattooes on her. He had always assumed Lara's clients were males. Lara was a stripper Logan had paid, tipped and treated pretty well since the few weeks he had been in Seattle. Many of her clients had some connections with the shadows and he had managed to learn from her about this dive, where so-called Shadowrunners would hang out or lay low, and its bartender who would sometimes put together a runner with a fixer, and who apparently liked naked women.
She obviously didn't know much about him. He's had a hard time finding jobs lately, and found out much to quickly that reputation travelled almost as fast as him on his bike. Fixers and Johnsons tended to not like working with you when you're known to leave them dead after runs. Them and fellows shadowrunners. He was indeed the sole survivor of his last three teams... But what could he do about it? That had been bad luck, that's all. The jobs they got were too much for their pitiful skills and throw in it some ego and a couple crooked fixers and you got all it takes for disaster. Logan was good at surviving disasters; the others in his teams were not.
He was also good at bringing disaster but he prefered to ignore the fact luck had never really been on his side. But maybe his general bad luck was also why few people who had heard of him ever wanted to work with him. He knew he was a good runner, the only one to think so apparently. He thought moving to a new city after the Denver debacle would help him get more jobs and away from the red zone, but it seemed bad rep was a luggage one carry with him everywhere one goes, at least in the Shadows.
The Red zone was near. He had pay for his dingy motel room for another 30 days, and he would have to sell his bike soon if he didn't want to end up in the streets. He knew who he would sell it to though. Estavio Juarez was a pretty good mechanic, and pretty much the only person Logan knew in that big city. Estavio dealt a lot with all kind of shady businesses, local gangs, organizations, and runners. He would be the one to put him in touch with the right person, but he was all about business and so far Logan never had enough to offer in exchange. All he needed was a team and a successful run. He had been made a killing machine; he had taken a burst of bullets and still managed to gut out his opponent. All he needed was another chance, and no one to upset him.
