Starting my SR4 game in two weeks. Here's an idea. Can you guys come up with some prime runners I can use in my game? I will most likely use all of the ones you come up with and will be recording the sessions while we play the game. Afterwards, I will put the adventures down on this very forum. So, if you would like to participate, please do so. I won't force anyone and I will try my best to use every single runner you come up with in my runs.

Ok I want to be very clear on this, this prime runner will kill PC's dead, because he is frankly one of the best mundane snipers you can possibly be and a 600 BP characters. Further tactically he/she won't ever engage the runners in anything resembling a fair fight if they have any say in it. He was kind of a response to one of my players being an unmitigated braggart and munchkin and I kind of felt the need to show him that up til that point he'd been facing down mooks of varying qualities and dictating the terms of the engagment but that ultimately there were people of his caliber or better out there.

Longshot is a professional sniper by trade. Despite many in their skillset Longshot tries to avoid purely assassination work as matter of professional pride. Any dummy with a rifle can kill someone at a distance you call Longshot if you need his unique brand of tactical acumen. While they don't have a fixed team their not opposed to working with others although they usually go disguised to actual fixed team meetings.

The description of Longshot is vague because if he/she is doing their job right, unless they are working with them the runners will never see their face or meet them in person. This may not be the ideal for the game you are doing.  Currently Longshot has engaged with my PC's once. He was on a live capture op against the person they were bodyguarding and disengaged once his target was out of the battle space. I'd like to throw him in some time working at cross purposes to the PC's again and then maybe one time in the future they will actually be allies.

On the vein of "insanely deadly," here's a Pixie that goes by the handle "Tueur d'Ombre", which means roughly "Deadly Shadow". Essentially, this guy has spent his whole life perfecting his abilities in unarmed combat. He has, in fact, sworn an oath to never use a weapon to aid himself in combat, reflected by a Geas. And, honestly, with fists that can lay out more damage than a Gauss Cannon, he doesn't need to.

When he engages a target, he deliberately picks a time when there will be witnesses and backup nearby... just to prove that he can, indeed, get away with being so brazen. Combining his natural Concealment with a Chameleon Suit means that, as his powers have grown, he's become capable of attacking more and more heavily defended targets without ever actually being spotted.

Should they somehow manage to spot him or otherwise start spraying the area with lead, he's sitting on enough evasion and damage resistance dice to make it out of just about any situation intact. To save on his own physical effort going around town, he has a roto-drone that's been modified with a pixie-sized "rigger cocoon" to get the job done.

 A walking punching tank that is the dwarf 'Atlas'.  He's a solo merc/bounty hunter with a visual spotter software suite that can rival top tacsofts.  He typically carries his radar mounted like a backpack and his ultrawideband/motion sensor clipped to his belt.  He uses the cyberware scanner to assist disarming apprehended targets.  All his combat adept powers are geas'd to: Must kill a paranormal critter with bare hands once a month.

One of his slogans is 'use technology before it uses you'. So despite his lack of hacking skills he's loaded up with a high rating agent to keep an eye out for his devices, and should an intruder be found it cuts off wireless connections and switches to the less hackable G-line system.  He typically uses his Ultrawideband radar and radar sensors to see through walls then proceed to break through them.  Though guns have proven an obvious obstacle to his tactics a well placed brick or unconscious enemy has proven useful ammunition, plus being able to run up two story buildings also seems to give him the precious seconds of confusion to land a hit.

He has a distrust of Pixies because as he calls it: "I'm small and stronger than most trolls, I'd hate to run into a pixie that's smaller and stronger than me."
