1 CHA doesn't make you a autist, just that.. you have problems getting a "connection" with others, that for whatever reason (looks, attitude, choice of words, all of the above), that you rub people the wrong way

Ok, that totally works for me.

EDIT: Also I've been listening to the Milkrun podcast for like two days straight now and I am hyped.

Moros grew up in rough way, same as most fraggers these days in the 6th world. His family had fled to Seattle during the annexation of California and settled down in Auburn, where he was born. Having fled with what little they had its no wonder they were SINless. They operated a small sushi restaurant, paying protection to the Yakuza, where he grew up learning the family trade and roughing it in the streets. They became his new life after an Aztec corp copter crashed some shadow corp war and took out several buildings. LS of course labeled it an unfortunate "pilot error" and there was never any justice for his families death. Life on the streets is rough, but you learn to survive, to be useful. Awakening soon after due to puberty and stress didn't hurt either. After a couple years he managed to claw his way back up from the streets and worked several small time cooking positions around Seattle. But that's not living, just surviving. And Moros wanted to live. There's always people looking for new talent, willing to give the new kid a shot. A couple of well played hustles and cons and Moros had a bit of a bankroll to set himself up. He didn't stay idle, oh no but continued to improve and challenge himself. Soon he made it to the big leagues, a shadowrunner. There's not much left of the innocent kid making sushi in his families restaurant. But he still nurses a seed of hatred against LS and Aztec.

You can forge a SIN, but that is just like making a fake ID. If the police run it (which they will) it will show immediately that its false. Bought Fake SIN's have actualy data in databases that are searched through to determine its legitimacy.

Chicago Rising:

The man in shadow had got his hands on a pre-release copy of the new sim from Ares Global Entertainment. Loosely based on a true story, it told the events of Bug City and the sealing of Chicago from the perspective of a Firewatch mage who had survived the initial Cernak blast, and gone to ground, defending a stretch of turf against marauding spirits and desperate gangs. It was poking at pretty much recent raw wounds in a sanitized way, but it was slickly done, and the man in shadows grimaced. It was so slickly done, in fact that it made Ares's screw ups in Chicago look good, as it cast in a "Never again" light the events of Bug City, and showed off Ares weaponry.. both in fighting off the spirits in the inital war and then the siege that followed.. in short, Chicago Rising was about as slickly presented piece of pro-corp propoganda thinly veiled as pro UCAS propaganda disaster porn.

And one of the debuts was going to be held right here in our little city, was it?

Well. This called for a little.. active adjustment of attitude, wouldn't you say?"

He mentally keyed in a familair keycode, and mentally prepared on how he would pitch this to his pro-neo-anarchist compatriots, as well as preparing transfers from his black accounts
