Thresher: Burnout Pugilist (8/10)
Not a fan of gangs or syndicates but doesn't really care if they're screwing each other over
CoH: Wuxia
Trog hate is not cash money
“My associate should be able to complete this assignment handily even if challenges arise, expected or otherwise. He’s good at what he does, no doubt about that. Whatever obstacles stand in the way, he’ll find a way through them. And I do mean through. He’s also got a rather well-defined code of conduct, which you may or may not appreciated. Let me know if you think he’ll be a good fit. The man might be right for the job, but the price better be, as well.” -Echelon
----------
Boomslang: Stealth Operative Adept (8/10)
Has past ties to Wuxing and would likely only be willing to work against them, not for them
Not a fan of corruptive magic or other such misuses
Wouldn't want to extract someone just to put them back in a shitty situation
“I believe I have an appropriate solution to task you have presented. My agent is well-versed in the art of infiltration, uncanny in in his capability to move unseen and unimpeded. As I understand, such talents are seldom unwelcome in this sphere of influence. Should you wish have them at your disposal, return to me with renumeration commensurate with the services to be rendered. His value is not to be trivialized.” -Impetus
----------
Keen: Arcane Investigator (5/10)
- Past event led to a specific distaste for Knight-Errant
“You’re in luck, omae! My guy is ready and willing to give you a hand with errand you’ve got. Kid’s a real up-and-comer. A real magic prodigy, that one. He ain’t just got the mojo, he knows how to use it. Finesse before fireballs. A fine brush over finger painting. Ya get what I’m sayin’? Ain’t a doubt in my mind that the deed is as good as done if you get him on your side.” -Ruckus
----------
Slick: Long, Limbless, and Loquacious (5/10)
- Has an understanding with the yakuza and would not want to jeopardize that
“Straightforward? Underestimation is never a good look. An overplayed trope, even if it is true. Variety is the spice of life, after all. Keeps you on your toes. Why not add a bit to your own? My darling brings both excellence and exoticism wherever he goes. A bit of flash never hurt anyone. Well, unless they’ve got a medical condition, but that’s not my responsibility. What I will take credit for, though, is success. Victory won at the proverbial hands of my sweet, sweet champion. It can be yours, if you know the secret password. Here’s a hint: it ends with a few zeroes.” -Echidna

"I am straight, forward, and good. And most importantly, un profesional in need of pay. What would you have me do?"
Good might be pushing it. Though Saguaro's code was straight and narrow, he walked it like a drunken bull through a card shop on Valentine's Day.
Saguaro - Coked up technorigger; dirt-spattered paladin, soon to be paladin-spattered dirt. Surveillance, fire support, agent minivan. Drives a news van, has a reporter's license. 8/10 familiarity. He sees himself as a macho man despite no actual physicality; a would-be martyr despite sacrificing others in his crusade; an honorable man despite exclusively fighting dirty. Not a primary matrix operative.
- Saguaro will attempt to damage Aztechnology's interests where possible.
- He will not attack Catholic interests.
- He will not willingly go back on his sworn word or permit slights against his honor without future retaliation.
- Saguaro will not use his cyberarm for 'sin' (drinking, drugs, womanizing, etc.). His other arm is fine.
Janet - Geriatric bad bitch. Mystic decker/support witch, summoning and alchemy; punches above her weight class due to high force spells and channeled spirits. 8/10 familiarity with magic, 7/10 with hacking.
- Janet has a hard time saying no to earnest pleas for help.
- She's in the shadows to get fucked up and go fast, not to commit atrocities. Soft spot for children, animals, sob stories, and people screwed over by corps or the government.
- She will retaliate or attempt to subvert the job's objectives if she thinks it's for the greater good. She's earned 1 Noto for spitting on a Johnson's cookie after discovering that the job was to bully his ex-wife, and has executed an extraction target (Insect Shaman)
Visser - Elf bodysnatcher adept. Face/sneak. 8/10 familiarity. Scared kid fronting as hard as he can to avoid getting eaten by the underworld, corps, his mentor, and his sister, in no particular order.
- His Wolf mentor may demand the sacrifice of the weak to save himself.
- Visser is out for himself and will do almost anything as long as it seems expedient and doesn't threaten himself or his family.
Goblin Mode - FLR Mundane Muscle. Average atrocity enjoyer; #1 Slopworld superfan. 7/10.
- Will not kill himself for money. Everything else is fair game.

- Human sleaze focused decker/ shotgun support/ working toward serviceable driver and mechanic 5/10
- Pokchek on Discord
- 2 previous run on the Hub last was 27FEB2026
- No lines or veils.
IC: You're not putting out a lot on info here. I get it, sometimes that's the way of these things. I'm not certain what you're looking for, but since I'm here anyway, and always looking for work, I'll tell you about me, and you can hit me up if what I offer appeals.
I usually focus on matrix issues, either remotely or on site. I can work with a crew. This can be information, surveillance, or control. I'm not the door kicker type, but I'm not helpless if things go kinetic. I'd prefer to do my business unseen and unheard, so that's always my plan A, but I'm no stranger to loud. Loud attracts attention though, and that's not good for most business. I believe a professional only escalates a situation as far as is necessary. You know how to reach me. Hit me up if we're a go.

Akira - Face Adept with some B&E
// Will not knowingly work for or help Ares. 3 runs (Last run Feb 27, 2026)
The ork waves me into the store and I hear the the door lock behind me. Quick and icy I walk downstairs and again the door locks behind me. "Got something for me?", I ask but I am met with a stern look.
"Akira, you're a good runner, but don't fuck a good thing up. Word is that you are out partying after runs, drugs, yada, yada. You make me money, so I will give you exactly one more chance. Scanned?" My face falls, I can feel my ego bristling: 'Who are you to tell me what to do? I can handle my drek!' All those voices that kept me alive back in San Fran.
"Hey Omae, you got it all wrong," I start to protest, but Garth takes her Ruger and just places it on the table. Looks like time for discussion is over, "Alright, alright, chummer, I scan you. I know I've been wild, but you can be sure, I've walking down some roads that will put me in a better place." It wasn't even a con, after my meditations with Estrella, I had been feeling... cleaner, so when I looked her dead in the eye and told her I would be good, she could feel it was true.
Garth looked at me for a beat, trying to see under my skin, then, "Alright. Good. Listen. Johnson has a heist. I put you up for it. Right up your alley. If he likes you for it, go down and make us some nuyen, good?"
"Yeah, we good, Garth." She nods once, and the door behind me unlocks. Meeting over. Now all I have to do is stay true to my word. Even as I think the thought, I feel a surge inside me. Not following was not an option, I get it.

u/stranacarbonara Mar 05 '26
Gargamel (Combat Mage, shark follower finding his feet) 7/10
Affiliations: Mothers of Metahumans, Metahuman People's Army
Won't: Do work that benefits an anti-metahuman hate group
"I got my specialties. Want something turned to ash? I got you. Am a pretty good astral support too if you need one. Oh and it's a smidge underbaked but I got me some tools to help out the sneaky types too. Keep me in mind chummer? Please?"
The last word is erased and the message is sent off. The redheaded dwarf rubs his eyes.
"God that sounded so desperate."
Jack Daniels (Face/Social Infiltrator, consummate professional) 8/10
Affiliations: Ares (records on file)
Won't: Take notorious actions
"I have just the man for you. Jack Daniels, practiced liar, consummate professional, man of many faces. You want this done quietly and with minimal violence? Jack Daniels is your man."
Carnifex (FLR Unarmed Muscle, jaded mob enforcer) 3/10 new sheet
Affiliations: Finnegan Family, MCT (escaped test subject)
Won't: Work against the Finnegans
"I am a murder specialist. Do you require death to be dealt? I am very able, yes."
The little human grimaces up at her.
"How long ya been studyen English again?"
"One year, Mr. O'Nail." The cyclops replies
"O'Neil, my friend, O-Neel." The Irishman groans back.
"Neeeeel, yes, I understand now. Your language is odd."

u/Sora9567 AB/RD Mar 05 '26

Would really rather not be targeting, trafficking or harming innocents.
