Subject: Some new archetypes (not munchkin, I hope! :)
Date: Fri, 16 Jul 1993 11:37:00 CDT
Here's a few new shadowrun archetypes that are fun to
run. One, the former security guard, is good for his
contacts and for his skills. In fact, in my group, he has
done quite a bit of security work for the main party. The
other, a troll clan worrior, is a great source of fun and
aggravation for the other members of the party.

FORMER CORPORATE SECURITY GUARD

The former corporate security guard has become
disillusioned with the corporations. He once worked for a
major corporation, and he believed in the metroplex system,
until his corporation did some deed that he considered
horrible and atrocious. Finally, disgusted with his
employers and their actions, he left.
He became a shadowrunner in an effort to fight the
power and corruption of the corporations. He refuses to
have any dealings with his former employers, and will
actively take on a run against them. He prefers to use non-
lethal force against people, rather than using lethal force.
Hence, the multitude of non-lethal weapons in his arsenal.
If force is required in a situation, though, he will not
hesitate. If he encounters any of the people from his
former corporation who participated or knew of the
atrocities once committed, he will go berserk and strike
with massive fury.

TROLL CLAN WARRIOR

The troll clan warrior is perfect for people who really
enjoy roleplaying. He can be a lot of fun, but can also
drive the other party members crazy when done right. The
troll is stupid, very stupid. He loves to smash things. He
is very simpleminded in [As outlook of things, and cannot
comprehend anything complex. He is always hungry, and will
stop and eat if he finds food, even if it is in the middle
of the run. If the troll doesn't get his way, he pouts.
Now, do you want a 10 ft tall troll pouting?
