Tojiro 'Kōun' Garcia – Techie
Tojiro, only child of Jose and Hitomi, was born into the security and safety of arcology life, both parents working for a Petrochem subsidiary engineering firm. The fall out of the 2nd Corporate War found the regional company suddenly bereft of its primary client and spiraling quickly to insolvency. The Garcia’s found themselves scraping to survive, while Tojiro didn’t assimilate well to the new neighborhood and school. Seeking social and economic stability, Tojiro enlisted with Militech, placing into electronics repair for two years before promoting to Explosive Ordnance Disposal. A mishap in the field detonated an unstable IED cost Tojiro his arm, months in recovery, and at least two months he cannot account for. Budget considerations lead to him being outfitted with a clunky military surplus arm and notable scaring instead of a biologic replacement. Realizing that at the end of the day, he was only a replaceable tool, Tojiro declined the offer to reenlist.
People aren’t things, and if it takes a fire to light that truth, well, Koun has a match.

Re: Character Profiles
Name: Juan King
Role: Fixer
Age: 28 (in 2045, born 2017.)
Gender: Male
Ethnicity: Hispanic
Style: Stylish, dark colours
FAMILY BACKGROUND:
Born in Mexico City, Juan is the son of a Mexican mother Amelia Cordoza and American father Mike King. His mother was a promising young musician, but while studying at college in Night City she fell in love with a fellow student and soon dropped out of college to be with him. They got married and had five kids together, the oldest being Juan's big brother Jo along with three younger sisters, Jessie, Carla and Juna. Unfortunately, Mike was a member of a prominent Night City gang and when Juan was still young both Mike and Amelia were killed in a hit-and-run accident.
Juan has a strong bond with his older brother Jo. Carla and Juna are neutral towards him and Jessie in not on speaking terms with Juan.
LIFEPATH
17: Juan was running with a gang in Night City and got into a fight with a rival gang, stumbling onto their turf by accident. While trying to escape he is hit by a car and is critically injured, spending four months in hospital.
18: Juan helped out a younger kid in the gang, with Enrique looking up to Juan and becoming something like a kid-brother to him.
19: While running with the gang, busting into a store on the edge of Night City to make some cash, Juan is ID’d by the cops through CCTV and is wanted by the local cops for burglary and assault, something that Juan knows is only partly true.
20: Juan does a deal to sell on some stolen merchandise, unfortunately it belongs to Raven Cyber-systems and word gets back to one of their regional directors, Karl Falken, who swears he’ll find Juan and make him pay for fencing their merch.
21 & 22: Got involved with a girl named Rachel he met in a coffee shop, managed to keep himself out of trouble and almost got his act together completely, though he couldn’t quite stay clear of the ‘punk life.
23: His relationship with Rachel might have ended but they are still close friends and they stay in contact.
24: Juan and his little sister Jessie almost come to blows as Juan refuses to work with her in some crazy deal she is working on. He doesn’t want to put her in danger by brokering a deal between her gang and a rival group, but she doesn’t see it as him protecting her, only denying her a big pay day. To this day they haven’t spoken to each other – see next entry.
25: Jessie goes ahead with her crazy scheme and ends up getting caught in a DEA set-up. She’s doing time for her crime and it’s down to some desk jockey that tapped her phone. Juan went to her trial and knows who turned evidence against her. Juan wants to get revenge, but the DEA agent, Robert McTaggart has the whole of the DEA on his side.
26: A quiet year by Juan’s standards. Jessie still won’t talk to him, refusing all visiting requests, Jo understands why he wouldn’t help but the others don’t know who to support. He still talks to Rachel, frequenting the coffee shop she now manages and gets a sympathetic ear.
27: An old woman who lives on the same block as Juan was being intimidated by a gang of street kids, but Juan puts in a call to some contacts and scares them off. The old woman thanks him and the two become firm friends. Estelle, a 60 year old ex-factory worker is smart and a damn good cook too. Juan comes to her for her legendary apple pie when he’s feeling down.
28: Big Problems, Big Wins: Big Win!: Local Nomad Pack befriends you, you can call upon them for one favor a month, equivalent to a +2 family special ability.

Fantasy is the exercise bike of the mind. It might not take you anywhere, but it tones up the muscles that can. Of course, I might be wrong.

Re: Character Profiles
Streetname: Jaws
Rename: Jorgensen, Rita
Birth Name: Vilela, Maria
DoB: July 10th 1987 (35)
Sex: f
Hair/Eyes: Blonde/Blue
Ethnic/National: Portuguese American
Style: Casual. Denim jacket, medic armband. Prosthetic jaw. Grey-shifting contacts.
People who knew Jaws - or Rita Jorgensen, in the system - when she was growing up would call her jinxed. Back then, she was called Maria, a brat without a home playing around in a junkyard with her little brother, making hats and using their imaginations to transform their surroundings. When her brother died in a tragic misadventure, her family blamed her and became distant, and she made it her life's goal to one day save lives in the combat zone. Maria used the skills she had and the ones she picked up to help her family, and started running with the gang led by her older brother. Until one operation hit the fan and she got picked up by the cops and offered conscription to serve her time in the Panama Canal Zone. Down there, Maria got caught up in office politics and running contraband for her CO. She earned a favor for being in the right place at the right time, and then used that favor when she was ratted out by her CO and court-martialed. After leaving the military, she finished her degree in medical school and went into business with her college sweetheart, but their clinic assets were seized and liquidated after they operated on someone the wrong people wanted dead. Oh, and said sweetheart was murdered by her cruel twin. Even if her twin works for Arasaka, Maria isn't keen on letting her get away with it. So she cybered up, changed her name, and changed her face, with eyes toward running the edge full-time.
