Guide To 'An Emperor's Vengeance'

An Emperor's Vengeance is a fan fiction story for Shadowrun, and the story itself starts in Chapter 1. PLEASE don't leave, and either go straight to the first chapter or lose interest entirely. I promise that it is one of the best stories I have ever writen, so give it a try.

I'm not quite sure how long I'll make it, but I've mapped out the entire storyline, and for those of you who have read the 2000 word summary I posted for about two weeks, please don't ruin it for others.

For those of you who aren't terribly familiar with Shadowrun trivia, I've compiled here a glossary of terms which can be found in an Emperor's Vengeance. While this may seem to be a bit short, I'll add to this as I go. Make sure you check this page each time a new chapter comes out for some extra vocab.

Dandelion eater/ keeb: noun, a derogatory term for an elf

Mr/ Mrs Johnson: noun, a name often adopted by a person who hires shadowrunners. This term can differ depending on the location of the Johnson. For example, French Johnsons are known as 'Monsiuer Dupont.'

Cleaner/Kick artist: noun, assassin

Spider: noun, security rigger

So ka: Japanese, I get it, I understand

Gaijin: noun, Japanese, foreigner, anyone not local or out of their element

Halfer/ stuntie/ squat: noun, derogatory term for a dwarf

Fraggin': A swear word, similar to modern-day 'freakin' eg. Fraggin hell, I tripped over

Glitched: Messed up, drunk

Mercury Comet: A sedan or 4WD

Trid/trideo: The TV of 2070

PAN: Personal Area Network

These are what the names some of the runners mean:

Spider: noun, security rigger, Harrison Gellar is called this for obvious reasons

So ka: Japanese, I get it, I understand, and the shadowrunner So Ka is named as such because she is a linguist

White hat: noun, security hacker

Penguin: Tandan Emperor is nicknamed this because of his name.

Maxwell: This is just a name, and has no special meaning

Also, when the text is in italics it is from the shadowrunner's POV. When it is normal, it is Tandan Emperor's POV. When the text is bold it is in Harrison Gellar's POV.

That's about it, for now, so without further ado, please read 'An Emperor's Vengeance'.
