The Infected

Best thing I have read all day, februari! I feel as though Alex might be considered a villain by the moral standards of your average post-apocalyptic scenario. Then again, that may be by design... x.X

Chasing Neverland

I'm still here. Waiting for someone to throw down a post before I do.

The Infected

Alex

Name
Alex

Age
Late twenties

Weapon
She owns a broken down old rifle from her early days, and whatever weapon The System has deemed fit to equip her with in her new role as armed forces. Presumably some manner of carbine? She also owns a combat knife, stolen from another survivor back in the day.

Personality
Alex has developed what some might call the unfortunately common point-of-view, considering life without hope. She - like the people she originated with - ascribes to the misled theory of social darwinism. Survival of the strongest. Her behavior can be likened to a hyena, wolf or feral dog. She will behave and be friendly enough as long as it's to her benefit, but in times of desperation or fury there's no telling just what she'll do. She's prone to seethe and brood, and has been disciplined for unnecessary violence more than once during her four-year-stay with Barrowside. She treats authority with obedience and respect, though the way she looks at people's backs might make people wonder if she isn't just waiting for the best time to shoot them and take over. Her way is the best way, but she will not hesitate to lie in wait to make it happen.

Brief Background
By the time Alex was born, her father was already lost to the cruel world around them. Her mother never talked about him, instead focusing on teaching Alex how to survive and doing what she could to keep the both of them safe. Eventually, this led to the both of them being taken in by a basic group of 'travellers' led by a charismatic man. Decked out in weapons, scavenged gear and with enough food to get to the next place (and then some!), it was clear these men were the model of success in this terrifying new world. So her mother said, though she cried all the same, every night. Alex never understood why, and the few times she asked she got no real reply.

Perhaps a year or two later, Alex's mother got the sickness. The man in charge forced Alex to do the deed, further encouraged to follow what he said by her mother. Despite the dark, uncertain times, the men (dwindling in number, as they were), kept Alex around and treated her like one of them, ever more the taller she grew. She learned that it didn't matter who you met, who they were. If you didn't take their food - their weapons - then they would do it to you. It was only a matter of time. If some people had to die for you to live, then that was the way it had to be. It made sense to Alex.

Tough times came. The group dwindled down to five. They recruited new people, sometimes forcibly. Repeat. It was a tough life, but it worked. Travelling from place to place and taking what you could use better than they. It all changed when the charismatic man succumbed to some kind of disease, however. The group dispersed quickly, and Alex stuck with one of the past 'core' for a time. Her only friend left alive, really. Both of them made it to a walled, guarded community called 'Barrowside' after what felt like at least two years in the open. She immediately volunteered to serve in a scavenging and military capacity. That was something like four years ago. Maybe.

Misc
Security/Military. Scout.

I am psyched for this! I shall commence the CS-construction with due haste. How long did uh, the current national governments last? Are there remnants and holdouts still calling themselves government that my character might know about/be affiliated with, or are they (and their militaries) gone with the wind in 2075?

Shadowrun: The Awakening

But fighting Knight Errant always turns out well!

If it makes you super edgy, I'll just give her a Fake SIN straight up. She has something like half her credits left. But hey, who's scared of alarms?

Oh shi-"Criminal SIN (Ares, UCAS)"

New priority list:1. Get a fake SIn. 2. Make mad nuyen 3. Get wired reflexes 4. Buy a tank

Haha, good point! Guess Collateral isn't the cautious type. ;)

Chasing Neverland

I haven't seen Damon in a week. Other than that it's probably you or RC who should have a go.

Background:
UCAS CRIMINAL #AE958T - Sarah "Collateral" Carmine

Subject first appeared on the radar of local law enforcement by being identified as a collaborator in a series of violent attacks on various corporate clients. Her subsequent capture and incarceration yielded no results beyond a momentary pause in the systematic harassment of the targeted victim corporations. #AE958T divulges only that she was paid to orchestrate bombings, vandalism and general mayhem. Subject also suggests that she finds the job fun, and that they deserve it, hinting at a possibly extreme anti-corporate agenda or psychopathic behavioral characteristics.

After 16 months of incareration and warehouse manufacturing labour, #AE958T is released into the custody of Aztechnology alongside 27 other long-term criminals, as dictated by A.L93.4, Section 5.1, regarding the purchase of prisoners as part of the Criminal Rehabilitation Program.

10 months later, witnesses attribute a hostage situation at a Seattle Stuffer Shack, wherein two hostages are found dead upon law enforcement response, to someone with #AE958T's likeness. Collected evidence later corroborates her involvement. Aztechnology suggest that the matter is being handled internally and waive the opportunity for a joint operation.

Local law enforcement and several Ares database employees register rumoured sightings and involvements in everything from attacks on corporate clients, to random acts of street violence. #AE958T's street name "Collateral" faces momentary spikes of popularity on monitored MATRIX locations. Law enforcement informants confirm that #AE958T is back in Seattle, committing crimes for credits. Allegedly #AE958T also favours anti-corporation rallies and events, though no evidence beyond hearsay can be found to back these claims.

The destruction of Nanting Plaza & Mall, in which four Ares employees lose their lives and zettabytes of important data are reported permanently lost, is attributed to #AE958T and a Redmond gang called 'Viper Wyrms' by witnesses and evidence found at the scene. Ares security forces find no trace of #AE958T at the gangs' headquarters, but her involvement is corroborated by a cooperating metahuman.

Aztechnology refuse to comment on the status of #AE958T.

What qualifies you for this position?

That's a pretty simple question. I got what it takes. I don't ask questions, I do what you pay me to do, and I don't run my mouth. You need protection, wetwork, defamation, data collection. Whatever. I will get it done. I don't get trigger happy or run off to do something nosy. Unless, of course, that's what you're paying me for.

I know what I'm doing, and I'm not going to insult either of us by making a fuss. If you want to go with someone less capable, that's up to you. When you want the real deal, I'm ready as soon as you need me.

Shadowrun: The Awakening

Shadowrun yay! I could see myself throwing in a good old street samurai, if that would be good for all involved (except the target).
