Shadowrunners

From Sixth World Wiki

Shadowrunners are the elite criminals of the Sixth World. When conflicts arise and cannot be solved by legal means, the corporations, governments, wealthy individuals and even organized crime can subcontract their dirty work to deniable specialists.

Shadowrunners fall outside the structured corporate world. Many are outcasts, having risen from the streets or fallen from corporate or government ranks. Their ranks include idealists and pragmatists, professionals and amateurs, disillusioned ex-corp/government/military personnel who have thrown off the shackles of corp society to achieve freedom and those who have never known any life outside the shadows. The one thing they have in common is that through necessity or by choice, they work in the shadows cast by the gigantic corporate buildings. Players of Shadowrun most commonly assume the role of these shadowrunners.
