Contacts

Elizabeth Jimenez, Fence (Acquaintance)

Despite initially finding ourselves on opposing sides of a job, they inexplicably took a liking to me, and our connection goes back a long time. They tend to associate with criminals, gangs, and other shady individuals, which just so happens to align with my circles. Our last encounter involved a mutual job that didn't quite go as planned, leading to complications for both of us. However, I managed to come through for them in a crucial way, and as a result, they have offered their assistance in smuggling either me or my goods in and out of various places. It's a complex relationship built on trust and reciprocity within a world of shadows and intrigue.

John Cooper, Cyberdoc (Acquaintance)

I've recently crossed paths with an intriguing acquaintance, a black market cyber doc. Their usual company consists of other skilled professionals, such as docs, techs, hackers, and individuals with specialized expertise. We met about a month ago during a job where I found myself on the opposite side of someone they happened to hate. I happened to kill the person they hated and we agreed to a cease-fire.                          Despite our initial encounter's adversarial nature, they seem to believe in my potential for success. As a gesture of goodwill or perhaps a strategic alliance, they've offered to provide me with their cyberdoc skills, ready to patch me up or assist with any cyberware-related work I may require. It's a unique and potentially beneficial connection within the underground world of cyber professionals.

BACKGROUND

In the neon-soaked, dystopian underbelly of Seattle, where cybernetic enhancements and corporate greed reign supreme, there exists a charismatic and resourceful individual known as Wesley "Doc" Valentine. Born into the slums of this cyberpunk sprawl, Wesley's early life was a constant struggle for survival, and it was here that he honed his street-smart wit and learned to navigate the treacherous alleyways of the shadowrun world.

Wesley's life took a drastic turn when he decided to gamble on a different path. Fascinated by the world of cyberware enhancements and the allure of quick cash, he ventured into the underground world of illegal cybernetic surgery. Wesley had always been good with his hands, and it didn't take long for him to pick up the skills necessary to become a cyberdoc. With a gifted touch and an innate understanding of the human-machine interface, he quickly became sought after by those who needed their enhancements installed or repaired discreetly.

However, the allure of cyberware came with a hefty price tag, and Wesley wasn't one to resist temptation. He soon found himself accumulating a massive debt, nearly $400,000 worth of it, as he upgraded his own body with the latest and greatest cybernetic enhancements. These enhancements, while enhancing his skills and abilities, also served as a constant reminder of the financial shackles that bound him.

What set Wesley apart from the rest of the shadowrunners was his uncanny ability to talk his way out of danger. His charisma was his greatest weapon, and he used it to its fullest advantage. Whether it was negotiating with a desperate client, sweet-talking his way past corporate security, or charming his fellow runners into trusting him, Wesley always found a way to get what he wanted without resorting to violence. His silver tongue was his armor, and his quick wit was his sword. Sometimes it was more about who you know that matters.

With every job he took on, Wesley's goal was clear: to amass enough wealth to pay off his crippling debt and finally break free from the shadowy world he found himself trapped in. He walked a fine line between the law and the lawless, using his unique skills to stay one step ahead of both. His network of contacts and informants ran deep, and he always had his ear to the ground for the next big score.

Wesley "Doc" Valentine was a man on a mission, a charismatic hustler in a world of high-tech danger and intrigue. As he navigated the gritty streets of Seattle's slums, he knew that every job he took brought him one step closer to freedom and a chance at a life beyond the neon haze of the shadowrun world.

Your art for your fence contact is absolutely perfect for my character. I admit, I'm envious! I wants it! 😆

If you want you can use it, I can just pick something else.

[Aavarius]

Only if you're sure.

You're not obligated to change your character just because I got envious. Much as I might like the art, I don't have any right to pilfer your creativity.

Go for it, I already have another picture.

[Aavarius]

Landid, I am grateful. Thank you.

[Landid]

Of course. I'll go ahead and leave it here for whenever you need it.

@Landid reviewed and mechanically everything looks solid. Also, those attributes are absolutely ridiculous 🤣

[Landid]

@Articus It almost justifies 200k in debt worth of cyberware lol
