Maine
Over-chromed edgerunner running a crew out of the Afterlife. Respects Motoko's skills. Quietly lost his best gunner to Section 9 and took it on the chin.
// Appearance
Dark shades, rarely removed. Over-chromed but maintaining control. Speaks in rumbles and growls, doesn't waste words. Drinks heavily but stays professional. The kind of presence that takes up space in the Afterlife without trying.
// Background
Maine runs an established crew out of the Afterlife: Dorio, Sasha, Rebecca, and Pilar. Motoko first met them at Turbo's bar. Maine observed her with the quiet assessment of a veteran sizing up younger talent. When Rogue let Motoko into the Afterlife, Maine offered a toast and acknowledged her skills.
The relationship is professional and distant. Maine leads his crew, Motoko leads hers, and they occasionally cross paths on the corporate gig circuit. Rebecca's gradual shift toward Section 9 is the main tension point, though Maine handles it with more grace than ego. He's dealing with Biotechnica heat and keeping his crew together through it. Over-chromed, under-rested, and still in control. For now.
