Dark skinned hispanic pumillonis, with close-cropped black hair, and a roughly shaven black chin beard.

The eyes are obvious cyber-replacements, typically steel chrome. The ears are heavily pierced, and his nose has obviously been broken numerous times. He is stocky, and broad-shouldered, though short even for pumillonis. Well muscled, he dresses in typical urban-combat style: fatigues, obvious mil-fashion, and armored clothing.

Qualities

Bilingual (+5) Roberto grew up learning English and Spanish in his home, and is naturally fluent in both languages.

Uncouth (-20) Sanchez's atypical upbringing means he's not learned how to properly interact in society, especially around women. He's often making lewd or inappropriate comments.

Guts (+5) Calm under fire, Sanchez has made a reputation for himself as being a gutsy, if perverted, mercenary. +2 to resist fear or intimidation, including from magical effects.

Media Addiction: Moderate, Pornography (-10) Sanchez gets his moniker, Dirty Sanchez, from his extreme appetite for all forms of pornography. From mild "Hot Teens" to your most unabashed fetish fare, he consumes it all.

School of Hard Knocks (+5) Sanchez ran away from his broken home at an early age, and quickly learned how to get by on the street. +1 Street Knowledge skills

Spammed (-5) Due to his porn-surfing habits, Sanchez's commlink is constantly bombarded with ARO's and emails. Those researching Sanchez soon discover his registrations with numerous skinsites.

Modifications (9/16): Image Link, Eye Recording Unit, Thermographics, Low-Light, Smartgun Link, Flare Compensation, Orientation System In his first action, Sanchez suffered severe burns to his face from a thermal grenade. The company replaced his badly damaged eyes, while Sanchez kept the scars as a mark of honor. It was his first, most grievous, and last serious injury he'd received while with the Hidalgo Dragoons.

Sometimes a merc needs to know how to pilot a Banshee now, not after years of training and classes. Unfortunately Sanchez lost all his skill progs when his last commlink got trashed.

Skillwires Expert System

Std

An improvement on his skillwires system, it makes it feel like he really knows Kung Fu when he slots the martial arts chip.

Overwatch was never easier, now that he had this headware implanted. And he can watch his favorite skinflick and not feel guilty about not paying attention to those natives sneaking up on their bivouac.

Biomonitor

Std

Keyed to his Auto-Injector (and usually the squads medic), the biomonitor is invaluable for the soldier in the field.

Excercises are a thing of the past; now they just grow you a better physique. Unfortunately for Sanchez, he'd already done the excercises...

Known Contacts

"Lucy Diamond", Prostitute Loyalty 2, Connections 4 Part joygirl, part shrink, Lucy's almost always there to take care of Sanchez. He considers her his girl, despite the fact that it's always all biz. Nonetheless, it's sometimes a useful companionship, as they trade secrets for muscle, cash for, well, other things.

Enrique "Havocman" Ricardo, Mercenary Loyalty 6, Connections 4 Enrique joined the Hidalgo Dragoons at the same time as Sanchez, and was also from Phoenix. Enrique, however, was a professional soldier from the start. Regardless, the pair struck up a fast friendship, that was sealed in the fires of battle, and tempered by their commander's betrayal. Sanchez's one true friend, Enrique's tried to help the scarred dwarf to find his own way in the world.

"Lowball", Fixer Loyalty 1, Connections 3 Lowball is Sanchez's local fixer. He always depended on his unit's quartermaster to get him the goods; now he's learning the value of finding your own quartermaster. Lowball seems ok; they've only worked together a few times.

Sanchez has had this old beater of a truck for years, and it's never failed him. It ain't pretty to look at, but it gets him where he needs to be. Sure, one door's bondo, and it's got more pocks and craters than the moon, but the engine turns over when asked, and bullets stop at the door.

--Nitama Optimum II (Bayonet) Reach 2, Dam (Str/2+1)P, AP 0

Qualities:

Workspace, No Neighbors, Poor Condition, Armorer's Shop

Sanchez has moved into the ruined remnants of an old abandoned store, in the barrens. It's got plenty of space, but it's leaky, drafty, and possibly condemned. But the power's still on (sometimes), and it has water (occasionally), and a pretty decent CHN for watching skinflicks in 3D. Sanchez has rigged numerous traps, pitfalls, and alarms throughout the structure, and the local thugs have learned to stay away from it.

 Personality:

                Sanchez is a simple guy. He likes guns, and he likes porn. Beyond that, he doesn't have a lot of interest. He doesn't really understand people, especially women, and his attempts to interact with them usually end badly. He doesn't trust a lot of technology, beyond things that go boom or provide him with his beloved porn. He much prefers trideo, or even video, as he's wary of anything that might "muck with his head". His fears are born mostly from willful ignorance.

                To those that Sanchez considers a friend, or even an acquaintance, Sanchez can be fiercely loyal. He is also steadfast and cool under pressure, especially combat. He thrives on stressful situations, even, and areas where he knows what he's doing. In other situations, he's restless, and often distracted. Sanchez has an unhealthy obsession about pornography, and often resorts to viewing it - as discretely as possible - when he's bored or not engaged. It is his escapist release valve.

Background:

                Roberto Sanchez was the youngest of four children, and the only metahuman in the family. His father was an abusive, alcoholic man, while his mother made what little money the family had by selling the only thing she could: herself. Roberto learned quickly to spend as little time at home as possible, and spent most of his childhood hanging around the brothel where his mother worked. His life there was, for the most part, enjoyable. Unfortunately, when he was 10, his father went on a drunken rampage and killed his entire family. Sanchez was not at home, and so was spared. The authorities found him sitting amidst the blood-stained walls holding his mother's cold hand. He fled before he could be remanded to child services.

                Sanchez grew up in the slums of Phoenix. He was strong, and tough, and stole what he needed, or begged for what he could. Life was hard. Fortunately his dwarven toughness served him well. When he was fifteen, Sanchez managed to be noticed by a newly formed merc outfit known as the Hidalgo Dragoons. Led by the cyberwarrior Leadfoot, he started out as a simple aide-de-camp, but soon was learning all there was to know about weaponry and merc life. Sanchez enjoyed the masculine comradery. He also met another mercenary there from Phoenix, Havocman, and they would become fast friends.

                Sanchez served with the outfit for 8 long years, moving up from a simple errand boy, to gun runner, to a soldier. He found he had a special knack for fire support and heavy weaponry. Their contracts took them all over the west coast, and as far east as Denver. They spent a good amount of time involved in the border skirmishes with Aztlan and the Council, and up in Tir Taingire and the Free States. Sanchez had become a seasoned veteran; his lack of social graces was no longer an issue, as most of the mercenaries knew of his reputation as a solid team member. Unfortunately, Leadfoot would lead them to disaster, and betrayal.

                It was supposed to be a standard assault on another merc's position, south of LA. They'd march in, throw some lead, and send the Aztlaners scurrying back to Tijuana or wherever they'd come from. Leadfoot, though, wanted to retire. It was pretty common knowledge amongst the crew that this was likely his last mission. What the crew didn't know was that he had a gambling problem, and needed a lot of money to effect his retirement. So he sold the team out.

                Sanchez's crew had no chance. The Aztlaners knew everything about their approach, and they walked right into the trap. A few of the crew - including Sanchez and Havocman - managed to escape. And they learned later that Leadfoot was himself double crossed by the Aztlaners, and executed once he was no longer useful. But it was cold comfort; the Hidalgo's were no more, and the few survivors went their separate ways. Sanchez stayed in touch with Havocman, but he wasn't close to any of the other survivors.

Current Activities:

                With his merc outfit disbanding, Sanchez finds himself at loose ends. Not wanting to join a new merc group, and lacking the skills to start his own, Sanchez hopes to find some semblance of a life in the shadows, offering his services to the highest bidder.
