Contacts:[edit]

  • Hermetic Academic 4/3. Doctor Konig, chair of the department of hermetic studies at the university in Seattle. He had thought Derek might become his star pupil. Konig has some fond feelings for Derek, but he's also relentlessly ambitious. He has an idea that a pawn or cat's-paw with certain...special skills and an indifference to the law might be something he could make use of himself.
  • Yakuza Fixer 4/1. A gentleman named Mr. Yamada, somewhat older, and giving off a slightly grandfatherly impression that tends to lull people into an unwise sense of calm. He helped Derek think his plan of taking out a bunch of loans, having his old SIN erased, and going to be a shadowrunner was a great idea. Mr. Yamada would sell Derek without a thought, but he'd want the price to be at least as high as the amount Derek owes him.
  • The Exchange 4/2. As per the book. Sort of like Napster for favors.

Totals: 6 free, 12BP.

Roleplay Notes: DarkSyde has managed to find a very nice place in a mildly shitty part of Renton. He keeps to himself, having no interest in the goings-on of his neighbors and the street people. His housing is a nice condo-sized loft apartment with a bunch of upgrades, and a lodge packed into the spare bedroom.
Starting Money: 2,600Y.


Magic & Spirits & Stuff[edit]

Magic: Derek is walking his own eclectic path, related to Hermetic and similar schools, but weirder, darker and more focused on what might be out there in the metaplanes. He is obsessed with deep astral journeys the way other people are obsessed with video games. Several of these spirit types are from Street Magic.
Resist Attribute: Logic
Combat: Beasts
Detection: Guidance (+2 dice from Owl)
Health: Guardian
Illusion: Air
Manipulation: Task


Mentor Spirit:[edit]
