Came across a site that had quotes describing a few Archetypes, and though these fit some runners I knew....
Guai
"Sometimes I feel like the only gal in the shadows who bleeds red when you cut her. In a business where flesh is so often written of as a liability, I walk a different path. My prowess isn't something you buy, though I do lease at competitive rates. My skills weren't installed nor need regular maintenance; they are the product of a lifetime of dedication. I don't hold my opponent's reliance on tech against them, though I have made those that underestimate the naked fist very sorry."
Shade
"I remember the first time I dove into the Matrix. I felt like a fish swimming in the ocean after a lifetime on land. That was when I found out I was special. I find it hard to sleep through the night without the hum of the Matrix in my mind. I find it hard to go through the day face-to-face with only people. I feel more at home with machines. They aren't greedy, they aren't vain. They're just as they are made; no more, no less. Today everything is constructed by or connected to machines and I can change them with a thought. You better count my payment carefully, I would hate to have to change how your bank's machines work."
Hiro
"What's the difference between me and your average gunslinger, bounty hunter, ganger, or thug? I have a code. It says I keep my guns loaded, my sword sharp, and my word to the letter. Many in the plex think a couple mods and a disregard for human life make you a street sam. That's not true. I may break the law and I may cut down my enemies, but they always knew someone was carrying a bullet for them. I'm not here because I'm a sadist, I'm here because you have a job and I have my honor on the line."
Fleshy
"Runnin' a datasteal? I can do that. Need someone to open doors on the way in? Null sheen. The time I don't spend cruising the matrix to watch my team's back, I spend working on my shiny toys. Code doesn't write itself you know. When you need to be in the know, you come to me. When you need to get something off your hands, you come to me. The shadows extend deep into the wireless world and in there, I'm your man."
