Jess:
Job: Motorcycle Paramedic
Affiliation: City Wide
Race: Human

Jess is the same one as appears in A Year in Seattle. There is currently a story being written about how the two met but it goes something like this.

Scab was running away from some older boys that he had done mischief to (age about 15). As he came out of the end of an alley he had cut down he skids to a stop his pursuers forgotten. When they catch up and see what he has seen they turn tail and run, there are about 15 people in various states of being wounded scattered over the road. Somebody has obviously done a driveby and as there is no gaurentee that they hit their target they may come back.

Scab on the other hand is not at all offput by the screams of the wounded, nor the possibility of another pass by the shooters. Instead he starts wandering through the people surruptitiously looting the dead and watching the wounded out of curiosity.

After a short time a motorcycle does pull up but it is a paramedic. The medic gets off the bike and starts checking over the patients and putting them into triage. When she sees him messing with one of the dead/unconcious she calls out to him to stop moving the patients. She then conscripts him into helping her by applying pressure on one of the victims that is bleeding more heavily than the others. It is quite an exciting event, she even gives him plastic gloves and sleeves so he won’t get blood on himself.

Eventually ambulances start arriving and the wounded are taken off to A&E (accident and emergence, I forget what it’s called in the US). Jess talks to Scab for a little while after the ambulances have left (and the police have arrived) and then gets a call to another accident. She arranges to meet him and comes back the next day and buys him lunch.

Since then he has seen her a couple of times, once after he started learning magic. That time he actually helped by utilising his treat spell.

Scab and Jess get along amicably once he accepted that she didn’t like him moving her patients. He enjoys her company and admires her willingness to put herself in danger to help people. He thinks she is a bit naieve but feels good about the way she treats him like a normal person. Jess thinks that Scab is a good kid. She sees that he has come from a troubled background and makes allowances for it. She appreciates that he has helped her a couple of times in the past and believes that with a bit of luck and some sound (and gently applied) advice he can make something of his life.

Jimmy Bilkey:
Job: Combat Trainer
Affiliation: Independent
Race: Troll

Jimmy is an embittered old troll. When he was young he joined the army got married very young to his childhood sweetheart and by age 19 was a responsible father who was protecting his nation and making the world a better place for his little girl. Then he goblinised (I’m assuming that whatever date the campaign is, it is early enough that a very old troll could have goblinised late) he was discharged from the army for being overweight and shortly after his wife left him taking his daughter to parts unknown.

Unable to find legal work he has spent a lot of his life being a standover man and running small extortions rackets. Jimmy is however below average size for a troll and as more and more trolls have appeared he has come to look less intimidating. Also age has had a particularly harsh affect on him, mild arthritis and a significant loss of strength has meant that he can’t work directly in a physical job.

Fortune has favoured him slight in his old age however. A chance meeting with a martial arts instructor (Dave) has meant that he can live in a small room above Daves’ dojo (where Dave also lives) and use the dojo (and a small firing range built out the back) to teach for nominal rent. Although Jimmy has had only a little formal training with unarmed and weapons training his life experiences stand him in good stead. He does not have many students but it is enough to cover his rent and puts food on the table. Dave is paid back for his kindness as when students reach a level that Jimmy can’t teach them anymore he will refer them to Dave.

Jimmy has time for Scab. He has been training the boy ever since he started into ‘shadowrunning’ (about a year now) and is responsible for most of scabs knowledge of weapons and keeps trying to convince Scab to improve his brawling abilities. Jimmy doesn’t allow anyone to get too close but Scabs relaxed friendly and moderately mischievious outlook means he doesn’t irritate Jimmy as much as most people do.

Physical Description:

 

Scab is eternally unkempt.  You get the impression you could send him to a beauty salon and dress him in an Armate then turn around five minutes later and he would just seem… scruffy.

 

He is average height and slightly underweight giving him a hungry just off the streets look.  In keeping with this when he has the opportunity to eat Scab will never leave anything behind.  In the unusual case that he can’t finish what is on his plate he will generally slip it into a box or bag on the sly for later.

 

Scab is never seen anywhere without his jacket.  It is old, probably older than he is, and has been patched countless times.  If you look carefully at one time it was reasonably stylish and hangs like it is armoured.  It was originally too large for his wiry frame and has had some very amaturish alterations made to fit better.  Under the jacket, when he is working Scab will wear Urban Camo’s.  These have seen better days as well, although not nearly as old as the jacket and are much better maintained.

On his neck is a tightly tied leather thong that holds some kind of black gem.  It is secured tightly so as to not move around distractingly if he needs to run.  Scab will wear his gloves when doing anything related to work, otherwise he keeps them in a pocket of his jacket just in case.

 

Weapons:

Scab normally wears his slivergun in a concealable holster strapped under his jacket (inside right for cross draw).  When in non-subtle situations he moves it down to a quick draw position for easy access.

His combat knife is worn at his belt and is generally the only weapon he displays openly, it is used as an obvious threat so that people who don’t know him won’t mess with him.  The shuriken are in a concealed pocket sewn into the left side of his jacket.  Although there were some initial teething problems with this arrangement he almost never cuts himself on them anymore.

Phone goes in a pocket of the camo’s the spare clip in another.
