Winters had an interesting start in life, being born the only child of a Yakuza obayun, and not called John Winters. He grew up in a strange environment, other children were told to stay away from him, and there were always strange meetings in his fathers home late at night. He was tutored by several private tutors but was not particularly interested in there knowledge, he was much more interested in the lessons of the people who came to visit his father, and who sometimes talked to him about their occupation. By the age of 14, he was sent out on a job for his father's clan, however, it went badly and he was the only one to return home, and he was in a bad way. His father immediatly organized a huge retaliatory strike on the shop keeper Winters had been attempting to extort money from, and despite Winters' almost pleading to let the man live, he was beaten to a pulp. Winters' then became disillusioned with the Yakuza way of life, but could not really get out of it, so he continued to work for his father. His chance came when, two years later, the rest of his family were captured by a rival clan and only missed him because he was getting very drunk at the time. He quickly took the opportunity to leave the country and travel to America. Arriving in Night City, he realised that he could not remain who he was and so decided to change his identity. This involved large amounts of cash so he "worked" with a small gang for a while, saving the money for a new SIN. Finally he worked up the money and became John Winters. He then needed a place where he could not be found, and decided to join the cops, thinking no-one would look for him there. He rapidly worked his way through beat and into homicide due to his brutally effective method, and a lucky attempt of the detectives exam. There he met up with his partner, Dane Janson, and they became friends, having the same sort of personality. After a few interesting cases, Winters had made several friends, and one major enemy, Rimmer, from IAD. Rimmer could not stand either Winters or Janson and so hassled them both on every opportunity. After a couple of years in homicide, both Winters and Janson, despite Rimmers complaints, were promoted to Special Investigations Division, quite possibly because no-one else wanted their dubious methods of operation. They did not often arrest people, they stopped them, but didn't arrest them very often. Since joining Special Investagitons, Winters has nearly been promoted, lost a leg, got a fair amount more cyberware, been shot numerous times, framed for copkilling, escaped from a holding cell and cleared his name in about 26 hours and has developed a worryingly high reputation. This is due to his often reckless attempts to arrest criminals, and his partnership with Janson, who has a similar attitude. Unfortunately, due to a incident with a SWAT sniper, Janson was killed, and Winters is between partners at the moment. This lead to his second framing as a he happened across a solo team on a black op while wandering home from a bar in the combat zone at about three am, while very drunk. They knocked him out and he woke up in an apartment with the 5 corpses of a scientist and his family. Fortunately this was quickly sorted out, but he now owes Raven MicroCyb a favour, not a good outcome. He is a loner, tends to be slightly antisocial and a touch more violent than absolutely necessary :) He is resonably popular with the other members of the police, unless they are of higher rank, in which case, they just don't like him. He is worried about the media coverage he has been getting recently as if anyone recognises him, he is in rather deep trouble. |
