Well... here I am.

Catja suggested I start this. Not sure why, but she said it would 'establish street cred' whatever that means. So here I am. My name isn't LinkDead, but that's what people call me. Why is a long story, maybe I'll share that someday. I'm supposed to write what I feel, but chummer sometimes what I feel ain't fit to be written.

Right... Catja is telling me to stop being so depressing. Okay, sure... let's talk about something happy. Do you like dogs? I fucking hate dogs. Wait... that isn't happy. Shit, this is harder than I thought. Okay well, she says I should start by introducing myself.

So, my name is LinkDead and I'm a shadowrunner. Wow, that sounds... like some kind of AA meeting admission. Anyway, its what I do. I run the shadows, take on jobs for (or against) the big bad megacorps. Suits don't usually associate with individuals of my... colorful background, so I generally work through a Johnson and a few layers of contacts. Keeps everything tidy, all the hands clean. They pay me to do things they don't want to do (or can't do) themselves.

Of course we don't call ourselves shadowrunners any more than a con artists calls himself a con artist. We generally refer to one another by our specialty. I am wiz with data, and I specialize in hacking and spoofing computer systems so you might call me a systems controller. There are a thousand terms for the different professions, but chances are if you're reading this you either already know that, or you're in over your head and should probably jack out. Catja says I'm rambling... she's here in the node with me working on a college paper.

Anyway...

So here's the blog. We'll see how it goes. I'll write when I have something to write about; and if I don't, well then you're out of luck chummer. Catch you next time.
