Fixer

You realized fast that you weren’t ever going to get a Corporate job or be tough enough to be a Solo. But you always knew you had a knack for figuring out what other people wanted, and how to get it for them. For a price, of course.

Now your deals have moved past the nickel-and-dime stuff into the big time. Maybe you move illegal weapons over the border. Or steal and resell medical supplies. Perhaps you’re a skill broker acting as an agent for highpriced Solos and ‘Runners, or even hiring a whole Nomad pack to back a client’s contracts. Your connections get into all kinds of businesses, deals, and political groups. Those contacts and allies form part of a vast web of intrigue and coercion.

If there’s a buzz about a new nightclub in the City, you’re already a part of it. If there are military class weapons on The Street, you smuggled ‘em in. If there’s a faction war going down, you’re negotiating between sides with an eye on the main chance. But you might not be solely in it for the bucks.

If someone needs to get the heat off, you’ll hide them. You get people housing when there isn’t any, and you bring in food when the streets are blockaded. Maybe you do it because you know they’ll owe you later, but you’re not sure. You’re one part Robin Hood and two parts AI Capone. In the past, they would have called you a crime lord. But in this fragmented, nasty, and deadly time, they call you a Fixer.

I don’t need to know what they’ll do with them. I’m just the middleman.
