Decompose

The spirit known as Decompose is a very powerful toxic great form city spirit. His creation happened over 1500 years ago by a cabal of shamans bent on freeing their land from the great dragon Lofwyre and all the evil he was blamed for creating. The summoning started out perfect, but soon everything started to crumble. The shamans’ sanity broke and their city was falling to ruins due to the constant ravaging of Lofwyre, the terrible crime by thieves and murderers, and the constant burning of forests and houses. By the time their summoning was completed, all hope of them regaining their humanity was lost. And in turn, their creation was to be forever cursed as an abomination. Thus was how Decompose was given life through insanity, death, and despair. The cabal, now lacking thought or reason, ordered their creation to reconstruct every living thing into its own image. Through some strange and ancient magic, anything Decompose touches turns into an undead nightmare of its former self. Human flesh rotted on the bone in mere seconds and their size doubled. The minions of Decompose came also to possess great strength and resistance to damage, even though they lacked virtually and muscle and a mostly skeletal body. No living thing was spared from Decomposes’ touch of death, not even dragons. Within a month, the most of the territory Lofwyre controlled was warped by Decomposes’ twisted touch. He grew tired of being controlled by mere mortals and turned on his masters, turning them into his undead slaves. With an army of 10,000 undead humans and three undead dragons, he began his onslaught on Lofwyre himself. Even as powerful as he was, Decompose was no match for the power of Lofwyre, but with an army behind him, it was an even battle. Then Decompose made a fatal error. He lost track of time in the battle and the sun was beginning to rise. With no way to get out of the light, his undead warriors turned back to the way they were and Decompose was paralyzed with pain. Lofwyre trapped him in a magical field and placed him in a pit of amber. There he stayed for 1500 years, until the Great Ghost Dance gave him the power to break the prison that trapped him. He has had a long time to think about his revenge. He would not make the same mistakes he made last time. He knew much time had passed since his imprisonment and he needed to know what the world was like. He set to work making Spirit Pacts with toxic shamans in the area and what they told him made him cringe in fear. His enemy Lofwyre was now the most powerful being in the world, not just in one kingdom like when they first met. He also found out that other powerful beings existed and that mankind had evolved to a level that made him realize just how vulnerable he was. He realized that he had to gather more information and start building his army once more. With his hatred burning as bright as ever, it was time once again for the world to fear Decompose.

Decompose is a Force 25 Great Form toxic City spirit. He was created for the sole purpose of destroying Lofwyre and he is still bent on doing so. He takes the form of a muscular gigantic human skeleton with the skull of a T-Rex. He is not just some ordinary NPC for the players to worry about. He is a threat for the entire world. Decompose is an NPC to base a campaign on.

*The Touch of Death power in unique to Decompose. This is the power he uses to turn his victims into his undead servants. To use this power, Decompose must physically touch his victims’ body. This means that he can’t use it through someone’s cloths. Decompose rolls his Essence against the victims’ Willpower. The target makes an opposing resistance test. If the target fails, they are turned into a mindless creature of destruction under the control of Decompose. They lose most of their flesh and double in size, become increasingly tough, and immune to most damage. The only thing that can save these cursed souls is the light of the sun. Any direct sunlight will turn them back to normal. Victims retain the memory of all that happened when they were Decomposes’ slaves.

Nathan Drowling

Nathan Drowling is an ordinary guy. He has an ordinary job and an ordinary family. However, he has an extraordinary problem. Every time something bad goes down, he's caught in the middle of it. He never takes part and never

gets hurt of in trouble, he just curls up into the fetal position and cries and begs for mercy and wets his pants. Nathan is quite possibly the luckiest man (still) alive. (Even if he is a coward) He has been kidnapped over 750 times and has been in over 30 major national disasters, and has been caught in the middle of over 6000 gunfights, always emerging with only minor cuts and bruises. Nathan doesn't have stats and never participator. He is always considered to be missed if shot at and is only really here for comic relief.

Kegan Rodgers

(AKA: Mr. Rodgers)

Kegan Rodgers got his start in the shadow biz as a data courier for higher in down town Seattle. He always made it a point to get his jobs done in a timely and high quality manor, an attribute which got him highly recommended by all of his employers. As his skill as a courier increased, so did the jobs he was given as well as the danger to himself and whatever he was carrying. He eventually decided to take some classes in martial arts and firearms. In his spare time he made a real effort to apply himself to these fields, and in the end it paid off. Kegan Rodgers quickly became one of the safest, most reliable ways to move sensitive data in all of Seattle. His new high-risk jobs brought him a lot more money and soon he was able to afford some more cyberware to make his job a little bit easier. He was implanted with boosted reflexes 3 and a smart link 2 at the NanoCyber clinic in Seattle on June 12, 2054, as payment for a job well done. He began picking up NanoCyber jobs more and more often. He started expanding from simple data transportation, into the areas of data theft and acquisition. NanoCyber took advantage of this and began hiring him to spy on their rivals and perform various acts of corporate espionage and sabotage. He still maintained his reputation for quality and was soon well known to everyone in NanoCyber unofficial assets, including the president/CEO of the company. This recognition earned him a permanent position within the corporation’s unofficial assets division. He was more than qualified and soon had worked his way to the top of the division, becoming the official head of the unofficial assets department on Feb. 17, 2060. He was also selected as the primary data courier for the top secret NanoCyber SF Team X-Zero. As the head of unofficial assets, and the chief data courier for X-Zero, Kegan Rodgers has cemented his reputation for quality in a foundation of loyalty. While he does not normally deal with shadowrunners personally, he will make exceptions for extremely successful ones or one or ones who are extremely

well known and have reputations for quality and reliability. (Two things Kegan holds in very high regard)
