I still think technomancers are underpowered, but went with one because they seem a little simpler to play and I like the whole "persecuted outsider" thing they ave going on.

Amy Wilson- Nurse at a Street Clinic
Connection 2, Loyalty 4
Amy is Static’s friend and sometimes love interest. She knows him by his real name, and even knows that he’s a technomancer. She works at a clinic in his area which is known for treating people (sometimes SINless people) with no questions asked. In addition to getting him treated at the clinic, Amy can acquire medical supplies, and can provide in-home long-term care at a steep discount (because he pays her directly, cutting the clinic out of it). She also sometimes watched over Static when he goes on particularly dangerous Matrix runs. She has a UCAS SIN and no criminal record.
Mimir- Data Broker
Connection 5, Loyalty 2
Mimir makes a living buying and selling information of all kinds, from programs, to corporate R&D, fake ID’s, to insider information about organizations of all stripes. He only meets his contacts in the matrix, so nobody knows who he is, and he won’t buy or sell anything physical. He has developed a good working relationship with Static over the past one and a half years. He is presumably an accomplished decker, but there’s no being sure of that.
“John Jackson”- Black Market Electronics Dealer
Connection 3, Loyalty 2
John specializes in buying and selling electronic gear of all kinds, including decks, commlinks, communications gear, software, sensors, and the occasional piece of electronic B&E gear. He has known Static for almost 2 years, but they don’t do business together all that often.
Biography
Eric Cardova was born with a SIN in the Pueblo Corporate Council. He was a quiet, bookish kid who got along alright with his peers, but was physically clumsy, and always more interested in the matrix than in real life. In his teens, he started to develop techomantic abilities. He didn’t realize what he was doing for a long time, and once he did, he kept it secret from everyone he knew.
At the age of 17, Eric finally came out to his parents. They were shocked- his father reacted as if he was some kind of criminal, while his mother seemed to think he was sick. They both told him he should register as a technomancer with the government, as required by law. His father largely stopped talking to him, while his mother kept suggesting that he seek “treatment,” whatever that meant.
Eric finally went to a government registration office. Instead of registering as a technomancer as his parents expected though, he submitted false biometric data, ensuring that it would be almost impossible to match him to his SIN unless someone he knew identified him. He then bought a plane ticket to Seattle and went off the grid for a while. Once the new biometric data was processed into the system, he was effectively SINless.
For almost 2 years, Eric has just barely scraped by as a freelance hacker and computer programmer, and has only recently upgraded from a dingy squat to a real apartment. He spends most of his time in the matrix or watching sports, and is a big Mariners fan. He recently made the reluctant decision to try shadowrunning, knowing it was likely to involve more physical and outdoor activity than he is used to, but also represented his best shot at escaping poverty.
