If that's how you see 'shadowrunners' (I suppose you mean ALL of them, by
your statement) why do you bother with a 'history' for this character, and
motivations, and... all that what we call 'background'?
To me it sounds as if you'd be unable to play different characters while
you follow this iron-cast principle. Never thought about a Sam as Charrette
described Ghost, with strong bindings to his communities? Never thought
of playing a Ganger who is _still_ with his gang, even while 'running?
I know it's an oversimplification to call all warriors/samurai the same, but
with your last statement you give oil to the flames... And you reminded me
of some of the 'Born-Warriors' I used to game with...
