Need an extraction or some covering fire?

I can provide an illusion of you working hard that'll fool even the security camera's. The rest of the team can get you in disguise and get you in and out of 3 different vehicles without anyone the wiser until it's far to late. The decker can have wiped our trail off of every security camera as well as disabled any trace on you. Face can pull a few string with their contacts to have fake SIN's and a credstick by nightfall. Don't worry chief, we got this.

CONTACTS
Fixer- A former Saeder-Krupp corporate spook who pissed off the wrong dragon and was forced to live fully in the shadows, Viktor Gold knew Johannes by reputation and made a point of looking him up. The two don't trust each other at all, but Johannes is good at wetwork and infilitration and Gold is good at making connections, so they tolerate each other for as long as it's mutually beneficial.Loyalty 1, Connection 4
Street Doc- Dr. Henry Swaim. Johannes' co-conspirator, Dr. Henry Swaim was the man who helped Frankenstein extricate himself from Tanamous. They are loyal to each other and trust one another; but they are by no means friends. Whereas Johannes was sickened by the depths of depravity of Tanamous, Dr. Henry Swaim felt the strictures of the organlegging business model were too... restrictive. A literal mad genius, Swaim was disatisfied with "merely" chopping orphans up for parts. He eagerly installed most of Johannes' nicer cyber and bioware (such as his synaptic boosters) just to prove that he could. He performs routine maintenance work for Johannes to this day in his leaky sub-basement street clinic, and in exchange, Johannes provides him with specimens, er, future clients and also a bit of protection and muscle.

Johannes Sauvant grew up a SINless urchin, scraping together a living in the unforgiving alleyways of the Berlin sprawl. Unable to qualify for a job with SK, Johannes fell in with the next best thing; organized crime. Industrial accidents, shadowruns, and general corporate backstabbing meant organlegging was a thriving business. Young Johannes cut his teeth on extraction and wetwork for a ring of organ thieves, selling cyberware, bioware, and good ol' fashioned kidneys to the highest bidder.

Early on, Johannes had a suspicion that his bosses were well-connected, possibly Vory, but he played the part of the good little cronie and kept his mouth shut for as long as the nuyen flowed. As part of the organlegging ring, Johannes Sauvant enjoyed a rather nice "employee discount" and got his pick of the used bioware and cyberware that came flowing through the shadow clinics. Eventually, he became a street samurai of some infamy, well-known as a loyal soldier of the organlegging clincs. Soon, his loyalty was rewarded with a posh station in the UCAS.

An enforcer for the organlegging operation, Johannes Sauvant soon earned the nickname "Frankenstein" due to his heavy Germanic accent and the fact that he was literally stitched together from the parts of dead man. In the UCAS, Johannes earned a greater degree of autonomy, which he used to probe into the true identities and motivations of his benefactors.

What he learned scarred him deeply.

His employers, it seemed, were not Vory at all, but Tamanous. He even suspected that his direct superior was some type of vampire or ghoul. The longer "Frankie" stayed in the organization, the more disgusted he became with the day-to-day realities. His breaking point came when he was asked to stand guard over a nondescript warehouse in Yonkers, New York. Curiousity got the better of him, and he took a peek inside under the pretense of needing to use the facilities. What he discovered inside still gives him nightmares; the warehouse basement was filled with the corpses of children. From that moment on, Johannes vowed that he would extricate himself from the organlegging "business"... and take out as many of the heartless, ghoulish monsters that ran it as possible.

He found a like-minded compatriot in Dr. Henry Swaim, a street doc who "processed" the syndicates "raw material" but who felt his talents were being pigeonholed by a bunch of thugs with no vision. When Frankenstein's immediate superiors got involved in an ugly turf war and alienated the larger Tamanous community with some bad strategic moves, the pair had their opportunity. Submitting himself to Dr. Henry Swaim's "upgrades," Johannes had some of his nicer 'ware and installed. After a perfunctory healing period, he unceremoniously slaughtered the ring's leadership and made for the good ol' UCAS. Due to the bad blood within Tamanous, nobody is looking for Frankenstein and the good doctor... you know. Hopefully.

The pair are now trying to establish themselves as a "legitimate" shadowrunner and a "legitimate" street doctor, respectively. Both are a step up in terms of morality from their previous careers.

@Moneyspider - That's fine, man. I've just seen games fizzle before they start before, and wanted to check in. Have you talked to MortimerBane?

Let us know when you're ready to go.

.

@Bewilderbeast - Nice. A little confused on when you left Berlin and came to the UCAS, though. You mention it in both paragraphs 2 and 6.

With my character also having spent some time in the anarchy state, I'm wondering how that affects backgrounds. With your notoriety, it seems likely that I'd heard of you. Any ideas how we might have come to be working together? I could think of a few, including having run jobs either for or against your employer in the past, but I'm wondering what your thoughts might be.
