Crying Jade

Notes

 Crying Jade is a street samurai operating in the 'Zone. She has a slightly odd reputation, having been known to put herself at risk for street waifs and "vat-jobs" but also being known as a ruthless killer (or as one fellow street- sam put it "a totally wacked out pyscho-bitch with a mean streak wider than the Hudson".)

She will not operate outside the 'Zone, takes payment in cash or kind - not credit - and has been known to leave corporates who ask too many questions, dead in back alleys. No-one knows her real name, but anybody can guess she's on the run for something.

Appearance

 Jade is very distinctive. She keep her cyber-eyes natural, without fake contact lenses, so they are a mirror-polished silver. One cheekbone is decorated with the "Crying Jade" tattoo that she uses as her trade mark, and she always wears bright lipstick ("Mystic Jade" colour, of course). Her figure is muscular, but wiry rather than bulky, and she has long black hair, which she normally wears loose. She stands a little under 1.8 M tall (about 5' 10")

Jade favours raunchy outfits in black leather with lots of buckles (normally backed up with discreet armorcloth or trauma plates). If she is expecting serious opposition, she wears a combat helmet. Jade likes BIG guns - a pair of chrome smartlinked Earthshakers being her weapons of choice - mainly for style. She will often carry a Nodachi slung over one shoulder, which she uses in her own eclectic martial arts style, learned on the streets.

Identifying quote.

"It's paaaayback time!" (Jade is not too specific on payback for what)

Note: Jade has a really evil temper, which has been exacerbated by years of abusing mood stimulants and combat drugs. When her berserk is triggered, she does not foam at the mouth or rave - if anything she appears composed and controlled. However, in this state she becomes absolutely single-minded, and her aim is usually the destruction of whatever touched her off. In this mood, she is capable of quite heinous acts of violence and behaves without any great effort at self-preservation. When she snaps out of this fugue state, she usually does not recall a lot of it, and she HATES to discuss it.
