Tors kar i Shadowrun
This started out as the temporary character of a friend of mine, which was going to be in our Shadowrun group just a little while. Then I decided to optimize the character a little (or a lot, depending on how you look at it), and create a background or something for the character.

Dead Shot - Killer With A Cause?

Dead Shot is a guy dedicated to a cause. For the time being, that cause is to kill people for money. Usually, he doesn't have any particular quarrel with those that he kills - it's just that he could use the money. Who couldn't? He's usually ambushing people, as he doesn't have any irrational (death) wish to go toe-to-toe with any potential cybermonster or mage around. One shot, and then another just to make sure, is his Modus Operandi.

And he's darn good at what he's doing. More silent than a cat, he's fully capable of stalking anything anywhere - and kill it with his oversized hi-tech crossbow. If there's a difficult shot to be made, odds are that Dead Shot have already done it. He's inordinately proud of his shooting ability with his crossbow - but not in the bragging, "I-did-that" way. If someone brags about their ability, however, Dead Shot might just decide to teach that someone about shooting. By for instance laying in ambush and put a bolt through the arm of the braggart.

Dead Shot is usually found at the Adept, a bar for the magically active. He usually does not want to talk business there, but he does usually acknowledge who he is and what he do. He is something of a friend of Freddy, which is the bouncer of the Adept, even though Freddy never would do anything to jeopardize his job for Dead Shot.
