Background
Name's Adriana, You can call me Magnum, that's what most people call me. I'm what you might call a mercenary, do I regret it? Not a chance chummer. I also happen to be a Mage, but I wasn't born one, I was a victim of genetic engineering. I'm getting a little ahead of myself here, oh well.

The earliest thing I can remember is being left on the streets, needing to fend for myself. Fighting others for food, doing the best I can to avoid ... the men... Actually it wasn't them that well, I won't get into that So at any rate, the thing most of you men will be happy to hear. I was tortured by a crazy scientist who keep refering to me as "his work." Imagine having a smartlink installed, with no anesthetic, that's about the pain I had from the genetic engineering Well now that you understand the pain, I will tell you about the scientist, Imagine the unpleasant things that can happen when you're strapped down on a table... I can't tell you much about what happened during the experiments, but it did result in a higher tolerance for Body, Quickness, and Strength. You know, I don't know what would have happened if the Yaks didn't come and help me get out of there. I probably would have killed myself. I still remember my first run, it was December 2050, the Yakuza had a serious grudge against a rapper gang called "The G's." I was hired to eliminate them, thus removing the competition. They outfitted me with some cyberware and some "hardware" . I went up to the head G in front of all the other rappers and said "Hey, loser!, here's a message from the Yaks!" and I shot him at point blank range. The other rappers attacked me, so I took out my knife and slashed them. After the fight I said "Say a word of this to the cops and you'll be sorry." They told the cops, we own the cops.

Well, many of you can guess what I did for my second run. I received a call from Ares M saying they had a job for me in CAS and to go to a bar called "The clogged Artery" and that Mr. J would tell me more there. As it turns out I figured hell, I'm in a bar, why not grab a drink. I have never tasted a beer so bad in my entire life, and I doubt I ever will again. It was so bad that I yelled "Hey you stupid hicks! Your beer sucks, I've tasted better beer from the Carib League, I now know why the Yanks joined with us, They were so sick of their own beer!"

Well, it turns out that some repulsive cowboy came up and said "Hey Missy, I like yer style, wanna dance?" To this I replied "No creep, I'm a fighter, not a lover." He just kept on pushing me so finally I said "Look buddy, unless your last name is Johnson, I don't wan't anything to do with you" His expression changed "Oh, so you must be Magnum?"

"How the hell did you know that short, squat and ugly?" I asked.

"I'm the guy hiring" He responded.

"Right, sure, how much money, what do I do, and how long do I have to do it?" I replied.

"5000 Nuyen, get my friend out of trouble , and twenty-four hours," He answered.

"Why do you need me to do that, you look like you're pretty capable?" I asked.

"I am, but I need some extra arms, there's about six punks guarding her," He answered.

"HER? Let me guess, she's your chick?" I asked rather nosily (I learned not to ask questions like this to shadowrunners).

"I wish, she hates my guts, but I still don't wan't her hurt anymore then she is," He said.

"All right then, we strike now, they won't expect it." I said.

"But it's twenty-three hundred hours!" He complained.

"Exactly, prime-time shadowrunning," I explained.

We did manage to kill the six sicko's, Cowboy's damsel in distress was hurt pretty bad, as was I, I healed her. She said that she didn't hate his gut's anymore, and that she could tolerate being friends with him, but not friends with him. After the run, Cowboy said his name was Throttle, now there's a lame alias.

If any of you have ever wondered where I was able to find the LMG. The Yakuza are almost as synonymous with automatic weapons as the old Mafia, I paid them some money that I got doing some jobs for them, and they got a hold of one, how I don't know, but they got a high quality Ares M.P. L.M.G. and I thanked them, they didn't even charge me "shipping and handling."

So that's the history of me. To whatever computer hacker that cracked the code congrats, I hope you found this meaningful.
