I have been wanting to mention about background loose ends and the best
way is to explain about my rigger.

Janning Ty was born in NY to a couple of humans who happened to work
for the Mafia. After a few years his parents wanted to get out of the
rackets to protect Janning. They left the city and moved to the country
incog. The Mafia was not happy and found them. The Mafia killed them
except for Janning who they raised as part of the "family". After he
got old enough to work he started to drive for the money pickups and
got more and more priveledges untill he was going alone and nobody
bothered to check on him if he was a hour or two late bring the money
in. He remembered what had been done to his family and was out to get
revenge. But first he had to get experience and help. So he had a plan
that he didn't share with anyone. He was going to wait untill he could
get a Million Yen and then split to another city have surgery done with
some nifty rigging gear as well as some combat and defensive stuff put
in. He got the money and got away and went to Seattle where he changed
his name and got the surgery, then he started to make a new name and a
new rep for himself. He still hasn't gone back to take his revenge but
he will. During one of his runs in Seattle he ticked off a chapter of
the yakuza so he is targeted by two different factions and what makes
all this so interesting is the fact that I as the player created this
background for him. I wanted Janning to have a purpose other than to
kill. He drives but he can also fight about as well as any Sam. He is
also the resident decker for the group because no one else will do it.
Anyone who has a combat pool of 10, a decking pool of 14, and a rigging
pool of 12 should just do it. All in all I have really liked playing
Janning because of his diverse skills and abilities.
