Chrome Man
No one really knows about "Chrome Man" before he started working as a bouncer in a seedy club that catered to the more violent music lover. Obviously from a military background, he refuses to discuss his earlier life, saying he was only "born" recently, when he got 'Borged. Since his arrival, he has quickly built a reputation as either already mad, or about to go completely cyberpsychotic!
Chrome Man's cold disregard for the numbers, firepower, and/or psychosis of his opponents has made him a valued (if not liked) member of many Edgerunner groups. He seems to have spent considerable money on his chroming and body-sculpting. It was designed by the renowned Eji of Tokyo, and is worth over 20,000 euro. He is sculpted to look like a cross between a knight and an organic engine!
Probably borderline psychotic before becoming a body-plated colossus, his remaining personality has become weirder and more violent For example, Chrome Man tends to live in a world of his own, ignoring people, and single-mindedly following his own strange impulses, which has led to him trespassing through both Corporate and gang no-go areas while in the process of going somewhere else.[1]
Operating Style
Chrome Man's major trait is the murderous rage he goes into if his body-job is scratched/dented, etc. He has been known to kill members of competing gangs because he walked into the middle of their firefight and got hit by a stray round!
Not usually receptive to jobs, even he has to eat (and in his case, the amount he spends on polish and chrome repair work is considerable) and therefore takes any job offered to him, regardless of what it entails. Chrome Man likes to get in close to his opponents, using his brute strength and Rippers to literally tear them apart While on a job, he ignores any orders given to him, if there is a direct method of accomplishing the mission instead. This often leads to the death of his opposition—and his fellow companions.[1]
