The following is an example from Edge Runners I, in case the rules were
not clear enough. Please note that all "comments" are made by me, and
only in very special situations do I allow others to speak for
themselves, for various reasons (like I don't want to get in trouble for
having STREETWOLF (or whoever) saying something they never would actually
say, according to their player.



Rotten, Johnny...(Fixer)

Background: Johnny Rotten grew up on the streets of the Redmond Barrens
in Seattle. Being very thin he was often picked on by most of the other,
larger children. The only way he was able to survive was by making
deals. He had a talent for not only finding wanted items, but also for
getting the best prices on them. Little else is known about Rotten, save
the fact that he has a long-standing freelance relationship with Fuchi
Seattle.

Johnny Rotten is a thoroughly disagreeable man, often wearing torn and
tattered clothes and purposefully not bathing for days on end before a
business meeting. He has never given an answer for his behavior, but it
is assumed that he delights in offending people, especially corporate
types.

Skills: It is believed that Rotten has very little, if any, combat
abilities. However, he has a distinct talent for acquiring goods,
regardless of their legality or rarity.

>>>>>[He he. This guy is great. Not only can he get almost anything you
could want, but he loves to annoy those corp types. Seeing their faces
is worth the price of admission.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Yeah, well I just wish he would learn to bath more often.
Sometimes I think he goes out and looks for foul stenches to roll in.]<<<<<
--Okie Girl<06:37:44/1-7-56>

>>>>>[The best place to find him is at the "Neon Blue Iguana", a
small
modern jazz club Downtown that is a favorite of corp-types, especially
Fuchi suits and the runner called "the Whistler". Great club, but I have
no clue as to why they even let Rotten in the door. They even have a
special booth reserved for him.]<<<<<

merely his favorites)

Armored Leather Duster (4/2)
Pocket Secretary

Notes: Rotten's Charisma is dreadful. He however, is persuasive, and
has a certain aura about him. Depending on the situation, use either the
higher or lower number as his Charisma. While Negotiating, use the
higher number. In other Social situations (picking up on women), use the
lower number.

Need an item, or need someone new to hire the PCs? Rotten is your man if
you are also looking for someone who is incredibly obnoxious.
