Notes
Angelkiller ("Ange" to her very small number of friends)
is one of the 'Zone's more successful street sams. Like many
street sams, she tends to work pretty much exclusively in
the 'Zone and occasionally out of town. This has become
rarer over the last few years - she dislikes leaving her
sanctuary except to work, and since a little disagreement
with NYPD, Inc a few years ago is unwilling to go into Neo
York unless she really has to. AngelKiller started life as a
street brat, running with the gangs and struggling simply to
stay alive. By the time she was 12, she was well accustomed
to dealing in murder, drugs and prostitution. But
AngelKiller had a burning desire to do better than that.
Whatever money she could get went into what she saw as the
only way off the streets - first guns, then cyberware. At
nearly 30, she has had her entire body more or less rebuilt
three times - adding more cyber, then removing the old and
upgrading it. She has even had a substantial portion of her
limbic brain removed, replacing it with a cranial computer
that provides her with access to whatever information she
needs. She has capitalised on this by becoming an
information broker. If you need to hire some muscle, or
contact a specific street sam, AngelKiller is the person to
go to. She keeps track of who's working for who, who's
hunting who (and for how much),who's for sale (for what) and
any other information she feels she can sell. A well kept
secret (even from her friends) is that she relies almost
entirely on the computer to provide her information - the
brain surgery she has had has damaged much of her memory.
When chatting with acquaintances, she is always careful to
load all the background information she has on them into the
computer - and to update their records frequently - giving
her the reputation of having an enormous capacity for
information.
However, the years are starting to catch up with
AngelKiller. The frequent cyber upgrades have, inevitably,
started to conflict. Although she moves with the fluid grace
that marks the high grade cybered, a perceptive observer
might notice the occasional twitch or too-rapid movement
that denotes a system wound too tight, for too long. In
addition, her frequent use of adrenal boosters has
accelerated this process, and bought on an increasing
instability in her personality as well. AngelKiller is smart
enough to recognise the signs, although she will not discuss
it and bringing the subject up will only enrage her. This is
part of what has pushed her into information-broking. She
will do anything - no matter how dangerous or distasteful -
to get money. AngelKiller has gotten off the streets and she
will use - and use up - anything and anybody to stay
there.
Appearance
AngelKiller is slightly above average height (about 1.8M)
with pale skin, and long, bouffant blue hair. She keeps
herself in top physical shape, although her cyberware bulks
out her figure somewhat. With large bright blue eyes
(contact lenses on the cyber eyes) and her characteristic
ice-blue lipstick, she cuts a distinctive figure and knows
it. She keeps her hair long and lustrous, at least partially
to mask the bulge of the cybergear at the back of her head.
At ease, she normally dresses in sweeping gowns (synthisilk
or similar), which hides her cyber. On the street, she wears
black amourcloth fatigues, which are ridged and padded to
hide her dermal plating as much as possible, topped off with
a polished black clamshell cuirass and helmet. Her standard
armament is a pair of smartlinked sliverguns. Many Street
sams disdain them since they lack stopping power.
AngelKiller is good enough that as she says - "Doesn't
matter if they don't stop - long's they're dead."
Identifying quote
"Of course I can do it - if you can pay for it."
