Introduction

Introduction

Let me introduce myself at first. Nowadays I go by the name Bitch. It’s a long story, how I have gotten in this point in my life that I want to share it to the world. I don’t expect people to understand my life or change it. I don’t want any pity because of what I am or what I have experienced. I’m happy with myself. I will seek revenge on those who have done me wrong, but it’s another story. Maybe I’ll get to that later.

Maybe I should start from present day introduction first.

I live in Seattle, and I am a shadowrunner. For those who do not know what a shadowrunner is, a short version. I do the dirty work of better people. For example the most previous job I was on was to steal a house of a known artist. He lived in a boat on the docks of Seattle, doing a job there. We didn't know why the boat needed to be stolen, but we don’t need reasons. Money is big enough reason to do it.

My house is located in the Redmond Barrens. It’s basically a wasteland. No common people live there. Only paranormal critters, lowlifes and runners.

I share a house with a quite powerful shaman, Shrew  She got her name from how she was found. I believe it was a troll named Liu who pulled her up from a  recently-dug grave. I don’t know the details. She has amnesia, she doesn't remember anything from her past life. It was a pain to find out what she knew, but now that she knows what she can do, she’s quite the shaman.

We don’t get along at all times. I don’t like her ally spirit. It’s a human-sized walking flame. And it’s personality is very, very annoying. I have threatened to do harm to this creature several times, but normally it keeps out of reach.

Even though we have our differences she is somewhat comforting to keep around. We are impulsive and always ready for a job, the more dangerous the better. Oh, and I almost forgot. Even though she is a human, so small that I could fit her in my back pocket, she bears some resemblance to elves. Apparently she has had her ears surgically altered to look like elf-ears.

I have other team-mates as well, and I know I can trust them, not completely, but still I trust them not to shoot me in the back. The team-mates I have right now are Nerdy, he’s a stuttering small man, who constantly talks about his mother. He knows his way around computers, but in a combat situation he’s useless. Physically strongest and biggest is a troll named Bobby. He’s not the one to pull Shrew out of her grave, but he’s still fine. He’s the one to carry wounded friends out from the field. Morgan is kinda strange one. I don’t know what she is, or what she does. She glows in Astral Space like me, but she is not magical. She has lots of contacts, and just recently she pulled all of us out from a crappy situation with loads of firepower. I’ll get to that later. And then there is Jinx, and I don’t quite know what he does either. He seems to know a bit of magic, apparently he is some sort of a mage or an adept. I don’t care. He’s ok, but I wouldn’t trust him completely. He usually knows his stuff.

The most important thing to know about my present life is that I’m a leader of one group within humanis policlub. I lead one of the smaller groups. It was a weird story how I got there, being what I am, but anyway, I have underlings. I try to spend lots of time with them so that I can stay there as a leader. My jobs take me away, sometimes for weeks, so it has affected my underlings. Now there is Billy who tries to take the leadership from me. I know that, and I’m going to take care of it. I’ll tell about that later.
