Contacts for Francis.
Quote
*Contacts*
Stephanie Shilling, C4 L2, [Human, Late 40’s]. Jacksonville District Attorney.
Stephanie has seen enough drek in her job that she is firmly of the belief that the end justifies the means. But if you fuck up and your mess goes public she won’t hesitate to bring the hammer down.
Francis was kind of her golden boy, she actively recruited him out of law school and was nurturing him as her future replacement (her ambition is for higher office than the DA) but that didn’t mean that she could just wave her hand to make his mess go away. The best she could do for Francis was making sure he didn’t end up with a criminal SIN, his evidence tampering was explained away as part incompetence and part clerical error which ‘merely’ resulted in him getting fired and disbarred.

Kurt Werner, C2 L1, [Dwart, age unknown (to Francis)]. Lone Star Lieutenant.
An old vet that was often brought in to give guest lectures on Lone Star Tactics, Protocols and the Jacksonville crime scene. Kurt is a tough bastard that worked his way up from the streets to his current job in homicide.

John Hunter, C1 L3, [Elf, late 60s (apparent age late 30s?)]. Law professor.
Francis’ favourite professor in law school. Served as his mentor during his studies and while he was getting his feet under him in the DA’s office. Was deeply disappointed that Francis wouldn’t trust in the process of the law but did in fact not turn his back on him. Age brings perspective and besides one of John’s favourite mantras is ‘Thou who art sinless cast the first stone’ which is usually followed by a small chuckle.
John has a near ‘encyclopedic’ knowledge of CAS laws and Jacksonville regulations in particular.

Jill Marques, C1 L2, [Human, early 50s]. Street doc.
Has a private clinic in [neighborhood near but not actually in downtown Jacksonville]

If we're going to give Francis some extra contacts I was thinking about some of these archetypes. Poindexter, just give a Yay or Nay and how many points I should spend on them.

One quick question... I'm looking over my sheet, and I'm wondering if you'll allow some stuff from Stolen Souls.

History
Slappendash wasn't born to run the shadows. But now, given her past, she has nothing else she can do; no corporation will ever hire her after what she did.

Slappendash was born Cameron Erikson in an Ares facility. Her parents were happy wageslaves; her mother worked as a security guard and her father was a quality control tester. Both parents actively encouraged her to seek Ares improvement from the day she was born, enrolling her in Ares-controlled education programs from the earliest possible age. In fact, an Ares-sponsored counselor eventually talked to them about that, as the counselor felt they were pushing her too hard for her to turn out an effective employee. For her own part, Cameron was happy to follow along in her parent's footsteps, though she soon found she excelled in areas related to security and mechanical engineering.

When she turned 18, Slappendash was accepted into Ares' spider rigger training program, where she was given hands-on training on how to control drones. She excelled in the program, making her parents proud, and soon found herself monitoring a section of security without supervision. It was then when she met him; smart, attractive, and a new name in the research department. He seemed to return her interest, and soon the two spent every moment they could flirting.

And then it happened. The two were flirting, the innuendo became drone-heavy, and then they went farther. Much farther. Then, afterwards, she sent him back to work, smiling happily... until she noticed she had forgotten about still connected to the system. She discovered, much to her horror, that she had been sending commands to a drone the entire time, and the result was that the drone had spent the entire time chasing and shooting at some poor wage slave in accounting, and had managed to completely expend all of its ammo in the pursuit. The wageslave had secreted himself in a closet and could easily be heard sobbing through the heavily-reinforced door. And then she noticed the new researcher getting in a car with a troll and a couple others, all heavily armed, on one of the security feeds.

The next day, she discovered the truth: Her newfound lover was not an employee at all, but a shadowrunner who had used fake credentials to gain entry and perform surveillance. The night of their tryst was the night a shadowrun was going on and his job was to distract her. Her boss, wryly commenting that the security feeds were very revealing to watch, informed her that she was fired. She was promised that the security footage would be kept tightly sealed away, but was politely informed that any inquiries by other potential employers would get them a very interesting video to watch.

With nothing left except what money she had saved and an embarrassing nickname given to her by her former co-workers, Slappendash found herself on the streets. She used what she could of her money to acquire a van and some drones, and now is looking for less-than-legal work. In particular, she wants vengeance for her utter humiliation. And she's hoping no one finds out about why she's running the shadows.

So I had reworked my character from about a dozen different angles myself and was like 98% done with all of the numbers stuff...and last night my computer auto updated.  I never turn my computer off so it hadn't been saved in like 5 days.  Such dissapoint.  He's coming together really well though, I've managed to make him both (I hope) awesome and not overly optimized.

I should be able to get the latest version back down without much problem, but today is my birthday so I'm having a bit of a family dinner and stuff tonight so it might not be up until tomorrow.

ok folks, here's a lil bit of info on the gang situation in old jack city.
there are really only four big ones that run shit, as far as the streets go.
1- Red five: a go gang from the atlantic beach area, They're mainly about extortion, smuggling, and mayhem for the sake of fun. Wear red X's and talk in star wars lingo.
2- Krubb Force: a primarily goblin gang from the emerson/phillips highway area. Drugs, gambling, prostitution. No identifying markers, but they only speak or'zet, and with a heavy local dialect, so non-members are fairly easy to root out. Locals ONLY.
3- Dixie Sisters Gang: A largely human inbred family run gang in the westside. Specializes in drug manufacture, manufacture and modification of illegal gear, chop shops, etc. All keep Green bandanas somewhere on their person.
4- Hermanos- An all awakened and spanish speaking gang that runs riverside efficiently and with nearly no violence. They're all about protection rackets, gambling, and extortion.

Unknown by anyone outside gang circles, but suspected by some who care in police and the media, there has been a somewhat official gang truce in effect for almost 10 years now, with profits soaring for everyone involved.

feel free to do what you will with this info and ask as many questions as you'd like.

If that is not foreboding I don't know what is :)

Do you have names for the top guys in these gangs?
