I was eventually promoted to a specialist role in a syndicate for which the gang was a cadet branch of. **Vice Detail** I like brothels and prostitution. I spend quite a bit on it, and frequently find myself in less than ideal financial circumstances as a result. **Looks** Like me, handsome, fit, and distinguished. Feel free to use the image from the last time I played. **Motivation** I was witness to the execution of a child. Something inside me changed that day, and I felt called to act. **Quirks** - Ronin created a Superfine Rifle --- > [!NOTE]- **Backstory** > Ronin grew up in an orphanage alongside the street gang known as the **Hillside Lords**, many of whom were the only family he ever knew. The gang operated as a cadet branch of the **Red Serpent Crime Syndicate**, running high-end burglaries, organized heists, and controlling parts of the city’s nightlife drug trade, while also providing muscle and security for Syndicate dealings. Loyalty within the group was tight, built on shared upbringing and survival. > > During a Syndicate transaction that turned violent, Ronin was part of the security detail when the deal collapsed into a firefight. In the chaos, he displayed unusual composure under pressure, exceptional marksmanship, and decisive close-quarters skill, saving a senior Syndicate delegate’s life. That moment earned him a full-time place within the Syndicate and specialized training in firearms, hand-to-hand combat, and covert operations. He later served as a mercenary operative on sensitive assignments and assassinations in foreign theaters, building a reputation as a crack shot who is also highly effective with a blade. > > Everything changed when he witnessed the execution of a child. Something in him broke—and reformed. From that point on, he began quietly aligning himself with resistance efforts, even while still embedded within the Syndicate structure. > > His dual allegiance has not gone unnoticed. While he remains officially within the Syndicate, his involvement with the resistance has created deep suspicion at higher levels, with some even suggesting he should be eliminated before his influence spreads or destabilizes loyalty within the organization. > > Despite the danger, Ronin continues walking the line between both worlds, driven by the need to act against the cruelty he can no longer ignore. > [!NOTE]- Associations > ![[MasterBase.base#Associations]]
