HISTORY
Michael Foster was born in Toronto Ontario, in 2035 to working class dwarf parents. His father, Dave, worked in sanitation disposal and his mother, Andrea, worked in a store. Life was good, if hard for Michael. He went to Public School until he finished high school, then he joined the Army. During basic training, his father died from a chemical spill. Michael finished Boot Camp and then went on his tour. After his 2 year tour, Michael became a Merc by the name of Link, partly to send money to his mother, partly because he didn’t know what else to do. His Desert Wars tours gave him experience, skills and more cyber. Recently, Link decided to get into “indie work” (shadowrunning). He believes that it will be more lucrative than straight Merc work.
