The Hurricane

**The Hurricanes childhood**

The Hurricane was born Hijimoto bloodrage, on the 6th of March, in Japan. He spent his early childhood in a small fishing village. His parents Kagura (mother) and Hijikata (father) Bloodrage. They were officially unemployed and made money by completing shadowruns, not that they told Hijimoto this. Their jobs filled Hijimotos early life with an absence of parents as they were "away on business trips". When at home they were often tending to the wounds they acquired "doing business".

Despite
what they would call best efforts Hijimoto grew up with an insecure, and distant family life. He spent his free time with the neighbour’s son Christian Miagi (Jesus) play fighting, fighting and generally being nuisances. However Hijimoto was never satisfied with the life his parents had provided him, by the age of 10 he was aware that his
parents were consistently involved in illegal activity. This lead to Hijimotos running away.

By 13 he was fed up with his parents, they were never around to care properly for him and provide him with any guidance.
On their next "business trip" Hijimoto left. He left a note explaining to his parents that he had left for his own "business trip" and should return someday. He told Christian that he would be going where ever "that ship" (a random docked cargo ship) would take him and to meet him when he was strong enough.

Hijimoto arrived in Australia and lived the first few months on the street, stealing to survive. However he was caught stealing from a weird, few years older, elf with a metal arm. Naturally he and the elf got into a fight over it. When the elfs
guardian, an unbelievably muscular man, broke up the fight he saw Hijimoto was clearly homeless.

The man,who called himself Typhoon, took in Hijimoto and trained him (in combat of course). Hijimoto stayed with Typhoon and Typhoons girlfriend Storm who cared for him, becoming better parents to Hijimoto than his real ones had been. Hijimotos only friend at the time was the cyber elf who claimed his name was Cyclone. His arm was really cool. Eventually Cyclone asked Typhoon is they could introduce Hijimoto to their other friends yet. Typhoon agreed it was
time. Hijimoto followed Typhoon through the streets to a back ally where many others had congregated. Hijimoto was brought before them and introduced, as Hurricane. He was told that he was now a member of Storm To Pass.

He followed Typhoons guidance and was taught to fire almost every ranged weapon
and how to swing in close, armed and unarmed, combat. Hurricane followed also the example of his closest friend at the time, Cyclone, and had his arms "upgraded" however he also got various other upgrades, including eyes and ears. Where Cyclone said it took a lot of getting used to metal limbs, Hurricane felt just as natural with metal as he had with flesh. Hurricane grew to become Typhoons right hand and one of the strongest members. He was loyal to Storm To Pass, and Typhoon for years.

Then the Jesus incident happened Hurricane was forced (my many a bullet) to leave Storm To Pass. However he couldn't bring himself to change the alias he had held for so long, so he simply became The Hurricane. He joined the group soon after.

#### Weapons

    The Hurricane has many weapons, he is equipped with more guns than even he can wield. But that doesn't stop them all getting use.

He has eight guns, Tiffany Defiance Protector (taser) Ares Crusader II (machine pistol), Ares
Predator V (heavy pistol),  Ares
Alpha (assault rifle), Enfield
AS-7 (shotgun), ArmTech
MGL-12 (grenade launcher), Stoner-Ares
M202 (machine gun), Rurhmetall SF-20 TEMPEST (machine gun). The Taser and machine pistol are cyber implant weapons in his left arm, the rest are normal weapons he bought from his trusty arms dealer, Aaron Ditchfield, with the exception of TEMPEST, which Tempest gave him.

## Re-Meeting Storm To Pass

Soon after the group had arrived in their new (shared)
house The Hurricane was out the front, admiring his newly bought red Highland
Forged Claymore, when a black van pulled up out side. Two hazmat-suited people
stepped out of the van and ran towards The Hurricane, they told from behind
their gas masks that Jake Dragonfly was in grave danger and needed help
immediately. That the other runners wouldn't survive where they were going,
that there was only enough room in the van for one extra and that there was 15
thousand new yen in it for The Hurricane. It was the 15 thousand new yen that
really got him on board.

The van sped away and quickly lost the pursuing Quick
Silver. Meanwhile at the safe house N3on made a call to Jake, Jake confirmed
that he, in fact, did not organise to have The Hurricane sent immediately. In
the van gas vents opened up and fumed The Hurricane with pepper punch gas,
dealing substantial stun damage. That, along with the injections from the
people riding with him, knocked The Hurricane unconscious.

He woke up in a
cell, feeling the spray of torrential rain through the barred window. The
weapons he had on him at the time (claymore, machine pistol, taser) were gone
or locked in The Hurricanes arms, useless. Two new men entered and injected The
Hurricane with a drug which cleared his blurry vision. He was then dragged down
a hallway to an underground arena. He was dragged to one side of the raised
circular arena, surrounded by jeering and cheering people, opposite his old
mentor, Typhoon. On a raised catwalk, hanging from the ceiling, the shapes of
Tempest, leaning casually against a machine gun aimed at the arena, and Cyclone
standing next to her, we're visible.

In the distance, on top of a shipping
crate, a small shrine was displayed. Complete with a greyed out picture of Hail
and torn to shreds pictures of The Hurricane and of Blizzard. The Hurricane
bowed to his former master but was forcibly pushed back up. Typhoon screamed at
him that leaving Storm To Pass had made him weak and to show him his strength.

Having seen several of these fights in the past, The Hurricane popped out his
spurs and charged Typhoon. Delivering a blow to his stomach. Typhoon followed
this attack with one of his own, slamming his huge fist into The Hurricanes
head. Knocked off balance, The Hurricane swung at Typhoon again but missed,
making himself subject to another blow. As each fist swung the world erupted with thunder and rain, the heavens seamed to open and the sky broke with every punch. The immense strength of Typhoon was
enough to knock The Hurricane out already, but as he was falling to the ground The Hurricane spun and delivered his spurred elbow into Typhoons face. When he
awoke The Hurricane saw that both he and Typhoon had fallen unconscious, the
massive wounds and blood loss too much for either to stay up, and been
stabilised by a standing by medic.

Knowing that until one beat the other there
could be no winner The Hurricane tried to rise. However his left arm had been
torn, near clean off his shoulder, and was rendered useless. He walked towards
the stirring form of Typhoon and heard a yell from the crowd "hey
Hurricane, CATCH!". Looking up he saw Jazz, the rest of the party in
various spots around the arena, throwing him a large metal, slightly singed,
pipe. Catching the pipe with his good hand The Hurricane advanced towards
Typhoon as his mentors eyes flicked open, to avoid possibly being beaten again,
he delivered an arm-snapping blow with the pipe to Typhoons left arm. Beating
him down, and back onto unconsciousness, The Hurricane had won.

There was
immense uproar from the crowd, support, anger and bewilderment. But the angry
screeches of Storm, who had urged for The Hurricanes death, could be heard
above all others. As Storm fumbled with a gun Tempest kept the 'no guns at a
street fight rule' by lighting Storm up with some machine gun fire. It seemed The Hurricane had support from within the crowd as the gangs patience with
Typhoons uncontainable rage leading, grew thin. In the aftermath of the Jesus
gun fight, Typhoon had ripped blizzards face apart on the basis that Blizzard
had supported The Hurricane. Because of this, to many, Typhoons downfall was
welcomed.

Having won, The Hurricane was returned his gear, but could not leave
without a gift from Tempest. She handed The Hurricane a case before the group
departed. Opening the case with his good hand The Hurricane found a wicked
looking, left cyber arm, decorative piece which depicted a blue wavy storm
usually, but when swung with force (like when punching) the storm grew in
power, becoming a swirling white mass of wind and storm. However he was
dumbstruck to see the other gift. An amazing, anti-dragon, gold plated SF-20
machine gun. Complete with the tri-pod, internal smart gun, bayonet, gas
venting 3 and hip support upgrades. It was inscribed along the barrel with a
single word "Tempest".

Although The Hurricane loved his claymore,
this machine gun became his prized possession, representing and reminding him
not only of the 11 years he spent with the gang, his best friends, closest
family, years of training, but also of the respect that the other members felt
for him (ALSO TEMPEST). This very much set The Hurricanes mind at ease, where
once he was troubled with wishes of establishing contact with STP, of leaving
them on better terms, he felt conclusion. He felt that now this was how he had
left the gang, with their contact details in hand, and a powerful epic gift
from those he cares about.

This concludes the STP influence on the campaign for
the moment, we assume.

**WRONG!**

Quick Fact check

-ultralight tactical generics (UTG) has all but taken over Australia

-footage of ultralights cruelty was made public

-many protests have lead to violence

-Thunder was shot and killed in such violence

Whilst laying low as the protests and violence continued nothing much was happening for The Hurricane. However one evening he was urgently called by Cyclone who needed all the help he could get, the entire group went with him and many other members of STP. They drove up to the site of a rebellion, hostages from ultralight were being held in a barricaded police station. The people there were de landing that they talk to the government to try and negotiate the state of Australia's essential rule by UTG.

A chirpy young girl, a recent recruit to STP but one who had earned the alias Zephyr, was the most active member, leading the efforts to make change. Many civilians joined in the resistance and had taken up arms .

The police response was to eventually, after a negotiator came and went from the barricades, that Zephyr was given a radio to the higher ups.

Upon opening a call to a chief in a helicopter hovering close by, the radio detonated, killing Zephyr. This spurred the fight to begin, the shooting lead to many casualties on both sides, notably no further main STP members were killed. The Hurricane runner Orc friend was there, serving UTG. In the fight The Hurricane was hit in the face by a flame thrower, but being epic he shrugged it off and gunned down the heavily armed and armoured soldier wielding it. Everyone then processed to escape via an underground escape rout, just as fire bombs were dropped from a jet that flew in.

Many were killed, mostly civilians and basic UTG soldiers. However, as a result of Zephyrs high protest activity, STP have become known as anti-ultralight rebels, which is a problem given ultralight run the country.

The remaining STP members literally ran for the hills to hide out until they figure out what to do next. The rebellion has begun.
