Shadowrunners

Shadowrunners are the elite criminals of the Sixth World. When conflicts arise that cannot be solved by legal means, gangs, the corporations, governments, wealthy individuals, and even organized crime will subcontract their dirty work to deniable specialists.
the runner works in the grey area between being on the bottom and on the top of the totem pole. The are simultaneously the only ones outside of the 1% who live free and the ones who depend on the current world the most. A runner could only exist in the world we live in now. Any other world would not need shadowrunners or be completely enslaved to the point where we can no longer operate.
Shadowrunners fall outside the structured corporate world. Many are outcasts, having risen from the streets or fallen from corporate or government ranks. Their ranks include idealists and pragmatists, professionals and amateurs, disillusioned ex-corp/government/military personnel who have thrown off the shackles of corp society to achieve freedom, and those who have never known any life outside the shadows. The one thing they have in common is that through necessity or by choice, they work in the shadows cast by the gigantic corporate buildings.
