People in the Biz

Jeff "The Man" (Fixer/Bartender, Level 1, Seattle, Downtown)
is a dealer and a low-mid level fixer. Having met ChaLk in his University days, Jeff has known Chalk for about 3-4 years now. Was ChaLk's dealer in school and expanded his services since. The two have always been fairly professional but they have also been known to party together on occasion. IE: hit bongs and chat about drek.

Dr. Frank Owens, MD.PHD (level 2 contact):
*Has since moved on Sabbatical to Dallas UCAS*
Medical Professor at University of Seatles medical division. He was Jonah's mentor in second year medschool, (also Chalk was seeing his daughter) before Jonah dropped out. Jonah really likes Frank, but couldn't stay at UofS. Franks daughter Sarah dated Chalk in University, but she was killed in a bombing. Chalk was seriously injured in the blast, a suspected Humanists bombing that killed 20 people (out of 45), including Sarah). Frank helped Chalk, get him psychiatric help, etc. Chalk finally talked Owens into helping him become a better doctor and runner (With money, cyber, info, and help) Owens hopes that Chalk can track down the bombers.

Johnny TwinTone (Simsense Producer, level 1, Seattle, downtown)
ChaLk doesn't trust him fully, but he is his connection to the sparkling world of Simsense production. It is through Johnny that Chalk got his Cyber Simrig. Chalk hopes to sell him chips of various quality (base to fullx to BTL) and hopefully become a simsense star. Johnny is rather shady, producing mainly sim-porn and some basic BTL’s. His legit business side of simsense isn’t very profitable. He hopes his new line of Shadowrun BTL’s will be a hit. Chalk has proven that he can survive runs and therefore Johnny has taken him on as a client.

Blue Cross (ex-Shadowrunner, Level 1 Contact)
A large gruff bear-shaman, Blue Cross runs a small medical response company also titled Blue Cross that deals heavily in extractions under fire from the worst parts of town, and thus caters to a large base of Shadowrunner clientele.

Miss Mojo (Street Shaman, level 1 contact)
Miss Mojo was in rough shape when she first met ChaLk, badly injured during a Mafia hired run, they brought her to Chalk (or rather him to her) when she damn near got geeked. He helped put her back on her feet quickly and managed to not mess up her magic in the process. Since then he comes to her for magic advise, (at a cost of course) and she is happy that her scars are small and not very visible. She is also constantly turning Chalk down for dates.

Cecil (Mafia Lieutennant, Level 1, Seattle Redmond)
Chalk has worked as a street doc for the Mafia through Cecil in the past, to much success. ChalK has even aided in saving Cecil’s life from assassins on one occasion. In return Cecil has set up Chalk with a favourable loan on nuyen to buy Chalk’s FullX Cyber Simrig. (Owes about 500,000 nuyen and intends to work it off).

Jade "Speedball" Coulson (Decker, Level 2 contact)
Ex-girlriend who is still in a love/hate sort of thing with ChaLk. They worked together soon after ChaLk began running, dating for about three months then parting due to differences in goals. They still see each other fairly often, but romance has faded (mostly). Jade has a new steady boyfriend now. Chalk will help her out asap, and offers free med services. She in turn helps him with tech training, advise, and the like. She helped him pick out and set up his first deck. She showed him a few things to help make his life a bit easier and more secure (like free access to the trix, secure phone calls, etc.) but he is still new to the 'trix.

BACKGROUND

Born as an elf and an albino, his health, mental and physical was never that great. Eventually, through many procedures, his physical health became better. None the less he was smart and went to Public Elementary School. His parents were lower high class, owning a successful business in north Seattle. They were well off and paid for schooling and set up a trust fund for Jonah, etc. When he graduated High school (always being teased for being both an elf and an albino), He went on to study biology at U of Seattle, later hoping to go into medicine.

After four years (1st year Med-school), Jonah was at a metahumans club (planning a September dance) when a bomb went off. It nearly killed Jonah, and made his already unstable mind worse. When he woke up in the hospital and found out that his girlfriend of two years (Sarah--also an elf) had been killed, it pushed him over the edge. Jonah dropped out of University, raided his trust fund, and began his decent into alcohol, drug, and chip use. Through his contacts made with a Fixer/dealer, ChaLk began to turn "shadowtricks", that is he would do a shadowrun for money & chips.

During his first run, ChaLk got wounded fairly badly, and needed descreet medical attention. He turned to his former Mentor and Professor of Medicine at UofS, Doctor Frank Owens. Owens is the father of ChalKs late girlfriend. Dr. Owens patched up Jonah, and talked to him about his current situation. Upon hearing that Jonah was hooked on BTL's, Dr. Owens confined and treated ChaLk's addiction. After a long time, Jonah eventually shook off the addiction to BTL's, but he had found another, possibly more dangerous addiction, the rush and money of Shadowrunning.

Since his first days in the shadows Jonah has been gaining nuyen, cyber, weapons and knowledge, with the help of his new contacts, and help from his old friend, Dr. Owens. Jonah's parents haven't heard from him in two years, they still live in north Seattle. Jonah took the street name "ChaLk" (for obvious reasons). His personality seems unstable at the best of times and often makes others think he is mildly insane: at times paranoid, at times psychotic, other times very childlike.

ChaLk still meets with Dr. Owen on occasion, the Doc still secretly hopes to get Jonah to hunt down the killers of his daughter, Therefore Dr. Owen helps ChaLk out from time to time, as he would like help him survive than see him die on his own. ChaLk's odd combination of wired combat readiness, Medical and general expertise (including some recently increased computer skills) make him a very valuable and versitile ally.

ChaLk's combat edge has been developed through hard work, some previous skill in Martial arts learned during school years (Green Belt in Karate), and his contacts. His Cyber-edge has been improved through operations often performed by Dr. Owen.

ChaLk is somewhat distrusting of humans (having been teased since childhood, primarily by humans). He comes across as an unstable character. He is prone to odd behavior. Some have questioned his sanity, and rightly so. Often Chalk seems rather childish/stupid, other times very lucid and logical, and yet other times when he is down right deadly. Although he may be a little "crazy", remember: "That's Crazy, not Stupid, drekhead!"

ChaLk is very sure of himself when it comes to dealing with people (some would say too sure) He is attractive, but he often views himself as more than he actually is. This has given him the label 'flirt'. Finally, ChaLK's fractured and compulsive mind has conceived of an ally and companion...A dead pet brown bat, named "GINSU", which he carries in his pocket. ChaLk views GINSU as a dear friend (he is completely unaware of GINSU's state of un-life). ChaLk sometimes speaks quietly to GINSU, very much like Gollum to his precious. If GINSU is lost in the course of a run, ChaLk will procure another little corpse. CHalK remains unaware that GINSU is dead, or even a different bat. ChaLk will not kill bats to get new GINSU's, rather he is unusually adept at finding dead brown bats. After about a year of running He met and dated a decker, named Speedball, and although no longer dating, the two have a good (somewhat love/hate) relationship.

**GINSU It is quite possible that GiNSU is a minor free-spirit that has become attached to ChaLk somehow. While others tend to ignore his quiet talks with GiNsu as delusion, perhaps GINSU –the spirit- is actually speaking with Chalk. The disappearance and then re-appearance of these little Bat bodies could be the result of the spirit manifesting physically, then returning to astral/beyond, then re-manifesting. Should this be the case, GiNSu’s powers should include MASKING, to prevent others from seeing Ginsu, and the rest is up to the GM. One suggestion is that Sarah Owens, Chalks late GF could have been a magistudent shaman, and GINSU could have been a spirit under her control. When she died perhaps the spirit became free, but decided to bond with Chalk (maybe the spirit liked chalk’s twisted and unique nature)???
