Personnel File: Blink

Name: Blink

Role: Adept/Infiltration Specialist (and something of a fixer herself)
Location: Seattle Shadowrunner Circuit

Background:

Born in the bustling streets of Bangkok, Blink grew up in a world where the boundaries between the physical and the mystical often blurred. Her unique talents, which some whisper are linked to the ancient spirits of the Khmer Empire, have given her an almost supernatural edge when it comes to stealth, speed, and martial prowess.

Blink believes that her abilities are tied to an ancient cycle of reincarnation, where those like her are born again with remnants of the power they once wielded. She views her life as one small part of a greater, eternal journey, and this spiritual belief fuels her resolve in the most dangerous of situations. However, this belief also drives her to seek something more—an ambition that has led her to begin cultivating contacts and power, slowly transitioning from runner to fixer.

Personality and Mannerisms:

Blink is a calm, focused individual, someone who doesn’t waste words or movements. Every action she takes is deliberate, and in a world of chaos, she remains cool under pressure. Her connection to the Khmer spirits has made her deeply introspective. She has a quiet, almost zen-like demeanor, though she is constantly assessing and analyzing her surroundings. Blink rarely shows her emotions, and though she’s loyal to those she trusts, she’s difficult to get close to.

When it comes to her work, Blink is unmatched in her field. Her ability to move unseen, disable security systems, and navigate even the most dangerous environments has made her invaluable to any team she’s part of. However, she sees her time in the shadows as temporary. Blink is pragmatic, and while she enjoys the challenge of infiltration, her focus is on establishing herself as a fixer, moving away from the front lines and into the world of deals and information brokering. The Halo tour, while lucrative, is something she’s reluctantly agreed to—her sights are set on more strategic ventures.

Connections:

Blink’s history in Bangkok gave her a strong foundation in the world of shadowrunning. She has deep connections in Southeast Asia, especially with the fixers and power players in Thailand’s shadow networks. Her leadership on the Bangkok run in 2096 solidified her reputation as a skilled team leader, and that mission led her to build a working relationship with TB, Slag, and others from that crew. Since arriving in Seattle, she’s begun establishing new contacts, though her focus remains on eventually transitioning into a fixer role.

While her connection to Mr. Black, the Seattle fixer, is a key business relationship, Blink is working to establish herself as an independent power. She’s often seen consulting with other fixers, brokers, and anyone who can help her get a foothold in Seattle’s information markets.

Reputation:

Blink is known for her efficiency, discipline, and quiet confidence. She operates with precision, relying on speed, stealth, and her adept abilities to infiltrate even the most secure locations. Her calm under pressure has made her a respected leader, though she’s often reluctant to take on that role, preferring to work solo or with small teams. Those who’ve worked with her know she’s reliable, professional, and deadly in the field.
