Description:
Ray stands 1.81m tall, short for an elf due to his Japanese roots,
and looks just short of 90kg (97 kg with cyber). He wears his
shoulder-length black hair pulled back into a very tight ponytail
which is usually tied off with a strip of Kevlar salvaged from
the long coat that saved him from the blast of a force-8 fire
elemental during a run. His old meat eyes were particularly light
sensitive so he habitually always wears black-chrome Oakley e-Wires,
though his new eyes make them moot. As a result of his corporate
upbringing and job he habitually overdresses, often to the extent
of wearing a custom tailored suit into a firefight. Though this
causes the occasional static in the Barrens, it has smoothed his
way very nicely when dealing with Lone Star or anyone else with a
bias towards salarymen. However, he still wears the stereotypic
shadowrunner's long coat, and true to form, it normally hides at
least two guns, normally his MP-5TX, his Predator, and a few
knives. He has a pair of platinum tongue bars, along with two
stainless steel nipple rings, all part of an effort to keep some
semblance of a sense of touch.
But there's a bigger problem. His aura bleeds continuously. Usually it's a trickle consisting of a droplet every few minutes, but as he gets angrier, crazier, more frustrated, and generally closer to losing control the flow increases.
History:
Born on January 28, 2028 of two human Renraku employees in San Francisco, Ray was an angry kid. Being born an elf in a violently antimetahuman environment didn't help and only his parents' value to the corperation allowed him entrance into the company schools. School proved to be a difficult prospect for the young elf, who withdrew from the torment and sank into depression. Then violence enterd his life. At the age of seven his parents decided that he might be able to find peace through the study of the martial arts and enrolled him in an introductory aikido class. Ray found the inner peace he'd been sent to find and an outlet for his frustration, which kept him out of trouble. Largely satisfied his parents kept him studying aikido all through his education.
He was a bright kid, but because of his pointed ears, he was only given one career option. They slammed a hlemet on his head and put a gun in his hand. Ray became a Red Samurai. A few weeks out of his training course, he killed for the first time. A team of runners hit the facility where he was stationed and while the other guards were frantically trading gunfire with the pinned down runners he calmly flanked them and tore them to shreds with an Enfield autoshotgun. The skinny kid with the weird ears came up big, and the more experienced guards were very impressed. Ray threw up inside his helmet and spent the hours after his shift ended cleaning it rather than celebrating.
Aside from the vomiting, this proved to be typical for him. When faced with anything approaching an gunfight he outmaneuvered the opposition and took them out. After only three years, he had led small groups of guards up against shadowrunners who outgunned and outmagiced them by far, and he won, consistantly. His superiors were impressed and promoted him. He was placed in charge of physical security and given the security clearance to have most any information he needed at his fingertips. Over the next four years, his section had the lowest successful intrusion record at their San Francisco offices.
However, as he got better, he realized something. With his hordes of chromed Red Samurai, mono-wire fences, FAT bacteria, Closed-Circuit Simsense, and state of the art combat drones the odds were greatly in his favor, thus the runners had far more of a challenge than he did. Always in search of a harder puzzle, he made his decision. He wanted to be a runner. For the next six months he plotted. He put in requisitions for better cyberware, and a highly experimental adrenal pump, all of which he received with the HR's blessings. Then he made some calls, and arranged for a big time fixer in San Fransisco to ensure that eight cases of military-grade armor-piercing ammunition (which "disappeared" from another section) arrive in Seattle a week after he did, minus four cases. Next he bought a ticket on every flight leaving San Francisco for the next week, had a decker register him as boarding all of them and purchasing drinks on each, and billed all of them to his expense account. He calmly boarded the plane to Seattle, ordered a glass of sake, relaxed in his seat and left San Francisco and his old life behind.
Now he is making his living in Seattle under the name Wylde Chylde, doing exactly what Renraku paid him to stop; shadowrunning. Since then he's pulled off more than a few jobs and is enjoying his new career insanely. He's had extensive cybersurgery and has dedicated himself to becoming faster than, well, anything. He specialises in outright voilence, though he's done a little bit of everything. His oddest job was a short stint with DocWagon, which was part of his cover for a few months and allowed him to get a pistol liscense and some cyberware permits.
But there's a problem. One night during a hit, a large, angry fire elemental lashed out at him and Carnifex, the team mage. Carnifex was incinerated instantly. He was the lucky one. The same burst of flame burned Wylde's dermal armor off and gave him a massive concussion. The head trauma led to feedback in his wired reflexes. The fried cyberware sent yet another jolt into his damaged brain, leaving him with occaisional memory loss, and a minor nervous twitch.
It gets worse. Somewhere in the cryo-vat, Wylde lost touch with reality. When he was dragged out of the ooze, he could see and hear twenty times sharper than before, but he had lost most of his tactile sense, and it grated at his sanity far more than expected. After a short time, he was totally out of touch with reality, living his life like a Simsense Duke Nukem knock-off. Fortunately for Wylde, and those around him, he's starting to get his marbles back, though he still wants more chrome.
Just when Wylde was regaining his marbles, he won a bet that he still has yet to realise the full implications of. Following a meeting with Malice in the Aztechnology Pyramid in Seattle, Wylde was leaving via helicopter from the roof. At the same time, under the guise of magic reasearch, a blood magic ritual sacrifice was being performed. As he and Malice crossed the pad, the sacrifice victim got free and made a run for the edge of the building, hoping to kill herself to escape what she percieved as certain damnation. The Aztec executive noticed and casually bet Wylde 1500 nuyen that he couldn't catch her before she jumped. Wylde shrugged and ran her down easily, then watched as she was dragged kicking and screaming back into the ritual circle drawn on the unused helicopter pad. The two elves looked on in curiousity as her head was lopped off with an obsidian sword. In the spray of blood, a researcher reached down her neck, chanting an ancient Atec and ripped her heart out. The resultant wave of raw mana released from the sacrificed mage's death stained Wylde's aura. In the instant before she died, the victim had doomed Wylde to bear the mark of the blood magic that took her life. Most who assense him simply sudder and move on, not wanted to know why, or not wanting to deal with him after telling him. Until now.
His family have remained with Renraku, his father Hokato continuing his work as a programmer, his mother Akane is a patent attorney, and his older sister Nibiki is a full-time Johnson. After he disappeared, they were all brought in for questioning and extensively mind probed, but he never told them where he was going, so after three weeks, Personnel Security thanked them for their cooperation, sent them for a month of therapy to ensure their renewed loyalty, then sent them back to work.
