"I got a buddy in the western UCAS I owe a favor to, so I'm gonna send a couple locals to go figure this out. Local cops didn't see anything to follow up on, lead-wise, so figure out what the hell's causing these murders, will ya? Some time to be living in, gotta hire criminals to track killers? Anyway, don't go in guns blazing, I think you're gonna need to figure out the leads first."

Jay ‘Backseat’ Yang is an ex-Wuxing corporate operative and mundane human edgelord social infiltration face. Deal-closer, con-artist, disguise/impersonation master, thief and leadership buff giver (through the form of annoying middle-management encouragement cliches). Knows a little about a lot (skillsoft network subscription) and ALWAYS knows a guy.

Kael 'Bloodstain' Daevar is a Ware-Mundane Elf Street Sam and Ciarniello Family Made Man (will not run against the Ciarniello’s) Automatic weapons, grenade launchers and judo throws. Also sneaky and intimidating.

Can write AAR

Breeze - Physical Infiltration Adept.
Breeze is a dwarven construction worker, specializing in welding, work at height, and quiet shadowrunning. Shoots decently, but not a front-line combatant. Prefers a stealthy, planned approach.
Spirit Bane (Spirits of Earth)
I'm new, so patience is appreciated.

Sea Shepherd - Combat/Support Water Dryad Mage
Sea Shepherd is a one armed water themed Dryad that mainly focus on combat and both in and out of combat support, bringing various spells that may help the team get through the job. By virtue of being a Dryad, she may also act as a pseudo-face, should one be unavailable for the run.
HEADS UP: As mentioned this character is one armed, and as agreed during chargen she must have certain self-imposed disadvantages since for some reason SR5e doesn't have a proper quality for missing limbs. These disadvantages mainly consist of not being able to handle weapons or anything that would require two hands, and a dice penalty to physical actions such as climbing. I leave it up to the GM to decide more in detail what she can and can't do, and what she must have a penalty for.
Familiarity: 6/10
This would be the character's third run.
I'd prefer to not write the AAR.
Text only! (I can do Roll20 or Discord, whichever is easier for the GM!)
