Matt "Bullet" Porter

# Character Information

### Summary

Bullet is an ex-special forces, ex-personal security 'runner who's just trying to keep body 'n soul together. If that gives him the chance to shoot some bads, then even better.

### Goals

* Survive
* Shoot bads
* Be the highest rank pixie druid on the Spheres of Strifecraft matrix game

## Background

Bullet was born in 2051 to a poor, working class family. Despite both parents working two jobs, feeding the family of five kids was hard. As a result, Bullet spent most of his time on the streets, learning all the hard lessons that it had to teach. As soon as he turned 16, he joined the UCAS Marines as a recruit and by halfway through his first enlistment, he'd qualified for specops training. He passed that with flying colours and spent most of the next decade ***[REDACTED]***, ***[REDACTED]***, ***[REDACTED]*** and ***[REDACTED]***.

At the end of his second term, disillusioned by his time in service, he left the military and with his spotless record earned a position as a corporate bodyguard with Seretech (an A-level corporation). He hoped that there, at least, he would be able to make a difference, to avoid ***[REDACTED]***. This didn't even last five years before he discovered that his current principal was a deviant of the worst sort. He put six rounds through his principle's chest, then emptied the remaining 30+ rounds into her head. He then shot up the other bodyguards (non-fatally), the incoming DocWagon team (mostly non-fatally) and vanished. He was critically wounded during that firefight, leading the Seretech investigators to conclude that he'd died in some back-alley somewhere. They've been right too, if it hadn't been for Doc Kane, an old military buddy, who responded to his medevac call and patched him up.

Bullet has now taken up residence in Seattle's Redmond Barrens where it's unlikely anyone will look for him. He currently stays in a one-room-does-everything secured building run by the Spiders. As part of his "rent", they occasionally ask him to help them out with particularly sticky problems and other than that they mostly leave him alone.

So now Bullet lurks in the shadows. There are few lines he won't cross, but those lines are harder than tungsten reinforced steel, and tougher than graphene. Woe betide the client who asks for something that crosses one of those lines...

## Appearance

### Clothing

Bullet only really wears two kinds of clothing... street-appropriate military-casual camo's with a longcoat. Then there's his running gear, which is just... more so. Or just straight-up Full-Body Armour 'cause, you know... nothing like advertising, right?

### Matrix Persona

Bullet doesn't jack into the Matrix, so his icon will be the default is for whatever commlink he's using, currently the Pulse Wave (so his icon will be a pixie druid straight out of the Spheres of Strifecraft game advertising).

## Media Mentions

Jared Wilson made the news, far down in the rankings, for the "attempted assassination of his superior", during which he was "regrettably shot and killed".

Neither Jay Daniels nor Matt Porter have drawn any significant media attention.
