Bartender

About

Abilities

Top Shelf Info	These types only talk face to face; this means you are going to have to come down to wherever they work and get a little drunk. For every 2 boxes of stun you take (unresisted) from drinking, gain +1 bonus die to any follow-up contact tests. Lifestyle may or may not cover this.
Loose Lips	Many people come into bars for drowning their sorrows. These types can make a test (limit +3 from drinking) to know about any kind of current events. Corporate moves, gang activity, etc etc.
Sink ships	These types can also make a connection test (limit +5) to spread rumours for the team. Bonus/penalty dice based on how believable or specific the rumour is.
Back Room	They tend to have a back room of some sort; runner bars will have proper meeting rooms where deckers can go VR and people can talk without fear of eavesdroppers, but even the straightest shooter will have a storage room that you can clear out and put some uncomfortable chairs in.

Examples

Name	Role	Where	Description
Bottles	Bartender	Matchsticks	Most people get a little stunned when they first see the woman that goes by Bottles. It's not because she is strikingly beautiful, nor is it the Blue skin, or her 4 arms. It’s the way she makes the drinks while working. Juggling bottles, perfect pours - multiple at the same time, taking full advantage of her less than standard physique. Unique things: Can train a Bartending performance specialization
Rose	Bouncer	Dante's	A burly, professional ork woman with a cynical sense of humour. Currently attending Alcoholics Anonymous, likes chocolate. Unique things: Can get you in to Dante's, which is damned exclusive otherwise - a VIP pass is ‎¥2000/month.
Miss Bliss	Owner	Club Lush	[Description] Unique things: Exceptionally high Charisma (10)
Bruno	Bartender	Rat's Nest	A once handsome middle-aged ork with salt and pepper hair, maybe in his mid-thirties. This guy runs a watering hole up in the Rat's Nest Neoanarch Commune. Prices are cheap but getting there can be a pain. Bringing your own booze to share is also encouraged; life in the rat's nest is borderline communist. Unique things: as an ex-runner loosely connected to the Hellions, he may have particularly useful shadow connections.

Street Doc

About

Traditional medical treatment, for a shadowrunner, is not always a convenient choice. There’s a great deal of paperwork, after all. It’s times like this when knowing a street doc can be the difference between breathing for another day and becoming ghoul chow.

Loyalty

Loyalty 1 - Just Biz	Yeah, they know your name. If you want anything from this Doc, you’ll need to get to their brick and mortar location to pick it up or hire a courier (see Courier Contacts). They don’t know you well enough to sell you anything Restricted or Forbidden, but they’ll sell you legal medical supplies and patch your sorry hoop up. They won’t be performing any major elective surgeries for you though (IE Not installing any non-life saving ware).
Loyalty 2 - Regular	They’ve probably patched you up a few times, they know you got cred and will pay what you owe. Your doc will be willing to risk selling you some restricted gear or drugs now, so long as you have that cred up front of course. You still need to go to them or hire a Courier to pick whatever it is up. They’ll be willing to put you under the knife for legal augmentations now, but they ain’t risking their hoop to install anything Restricted or Forbidden.
Loyalty 3 - Acquaintance	Now you’ve finally built up some rapport, they’ll be willing to sell you “the good stuff,” even if it is technically Forbidden or Restricted. They’ll even install it for you. You’ll still need to head to them to receive any goods or services though.
Loyalty 4 - Buddy	You’ve been out drinking with this guy, that or you stopped some street vandals from messing up the place a few times. Whatever the reason they like you now. This guy might even make a housecall if it isn’t too far away (same District).
Loyalty 5 - Got Your Back	Need a spot to lay low while you healing from getting almost blown to bits? A lot of Street Docs have a few beds out of sight of the main clinic. Your guy is happy to let you recover on one of those. He’ll also be willing to come to you as long as they are in the same Sprawl.
Loyalty 6 - Friend for Life	For whatever reason, this person will go the distance for you. If they can get it, they’ll sell it to you. If they can do the thing they will. Now that isn’t saying they will fly to Tahiti just because, but if you make the right argument and cover all the associate costs, it isn’t saying they won’t

Connection

Connection 1 - Quack	This guy probably doesn’t even have a real clinic, but if you can get access to the back room of his apartment he works out of, he might be able to find you some basic street drugs or perform basic first aid.

Dr. Ima Healer (3 Connection, 2 Loyalty)

 * As a Hub Contact, you can pick up Dr. Ima Healer for 3 GMP at any time.

Dr. Healer has been practicing medicine on the Streets of Redmond (well Touristville) for ages, at least by Redmond standards. He is somewhere in his early 40s. It is pretty obvious by his clientele that the reason his clinic is rarely harassed is because he is a dues paying member of the mafia. He can patch you up, and as long as he doesn’t suspect ill intent he might even tell you a few things about the mafiosi on the streets of Redmond.
