On one of my brief forays into the Hollywood areas (God save me) I, Max 
Overhaul, happened across an odd version of Street Samurai.  They seem 
to be indigenous to Hollywood, but are spreading out into the Eastern 
Coast and the outlying areas.  I can only speculate about their origins, 
Perhaps the heavy Japanese influence in the Hollywood area led to their 
existence, but I digress...

The Bladeboy is much like a Street Samurai, but, instead of emphasizing 
firearms, uses Armed and Unarmed combat. Quite deadly at close ranges, 
and not any less dangerous from a distance. If you meet one, don't mess 
with him.  If you are one, kick some butt.

shoulder?]<<<

 >>>[Referees take note: the Bladeboy has a starting Armed Combat of 7. 
Technically, this is illegal. It would not be unreasonable to make 
Stealth a 5 and Armed Combat a 6.]<<<

BLADEBOY

The Bladeboy embodies the Real Samurai of Feudal Japan, honorable 
(usually), deadly (always), and stealthy (as often as possible).  
Extremely dangerous at close range, the Bladeboy uses a plethora of 
silent weaponry for the quick kill.  However, this doesn't mean that the 
Bladeboy is not dangerous in ranged combat.  His bow fulfills that void.  
Some also think that a bow cannot keep it's place in a firefight.  That 
is why he carries a Colt Manhunter.

QUOTES: 
 "That's not a knife...<pulls out a Wakizashi> THIS is a Knife..."

 "You are about as stealthy as a yak in heat! Stop moving or you will 
blow my cover!"

 "Please, friend Mr. Johnson, don't stiff me this time. Really..."

THE STREET RIGGER

The Street Rigger is the best there is, an all around Jockey of motor 
vehicles. He has worked for the best and worst of clients, but has 
always gotten the job done at any cost. Now he works the streets, and 
the occasional Corp Shadowrun, for his pay. He is known by many names: 
Gyro Captain, Getaway Man, TopGunner, Panzerboy, and AirCavMan. Whatever 
name he is today, you can count on two things. One, he is one of the 
best. Two, nobody does it better.

>>>[Note the heavy use of GM discretion in the Street Rigger's gear. 
Gamemasters must exercise veto powers and disallow vehicles they don't 
want new players to have.]<<<

"Approaching Warp Nine, Captain. Heh heh, I love this job..."
