TerraFirst!
Forged out of the bent and bitter remains of the old environmentalist movement, TerraFirst! are the hard, passionate core of the old “save the world” crew, made angry and violent over time. No one cared until some shadowrunners blew up a power plant and spray-painted TerraFirst! all over the place. This was a bonanza for recruiting even more angry and violent people. Not bright people, though. The group is poorly led and scattered—groups in neighboring cities have wildly different ideas of what makes a good time. Without much money, or equipment, TerraFirst! tries hard strikes against the corps. They don’t worry about being caught, they aren’t careful, and most of the time they don’t get anything done. Occasionally a member actually gets their hands on some real firepower. Half the time they then blow themselves up— but when they don’t, they can cause real problems for the corps. Seriously, if there was a charismatic leader who was willing to step in and bankroll this rabble, they could have a literal militia walking downtown. Luckily no one good at organizing wants anything to do with them. When they aren’t wrecking stuff, they can be good at parties and chilling out. They often have access to drugs and booze, and they are happy to share if you are happy to listen to them. They even hire people to do their dirty work when they get some scratch. They pay if they have promised to, but like any group of fanatics, they have funny ideas about what should be free and what should not. As always, make your terms clear at the start of a job. TerraFirst! is one of the punk-est groups of losers I’ve ever met, and I’m proud to call some of them friends.
