Disclaimer: Duo does not belong to me. Shadowrun does not belong to me.
This crossover does.
A/N: This is the first of twelve character sketches. The purpose of the sketches is just to introduce the characters, their history, their jobs, and the world this all takes place. Brief summary: Shadowrun takes place in the future where major corporations rule the world. Shadowrunners (or simply runners) are groups of people hired out to complete missions (ex. Get information, assassinations). I have taken the major characters from Gundam Wing and placed them in this universe.
Warnings: None in this chapter, except suggestions of violence. Rating is high as a caution, though.

Duo was born and abandoned to the city jungle. Raised with a sprawl 'gang' of other street orphans, he very quickly learned that, on streets, it was kill or be killed. His happy-go-lucky attitude, carefree nature, and skill with his fists made him quite popular among the gang lords, making his name infamous throughout the underground. He became a very valuable commodity, hiring himself out as a freelance merc and bodyguard. He became quite proficient with a taser and a few of the smaller guns, but will never be quite as comfortable with anything larger then a revolver.
But it was during a period of time between jobs, when Duo was 'home' with his sprawl gang that he truly found his calling. A few of the younger, newer members decided that it would be entertaining to jack a few cars. Duo, of course, being highly entertained by the whole operative, volunteered to come along. By the time the heist was over, Duo's heart was sold. He loved the thrill of being behind the wheel; he reveled in the rush of a speeding car. With the support of a rigger in his gang, he became the master of the vehicle. He learned to disassemble completely any sort of car, truck, or tank engine. He can now honestly say that he is the best in the business, making him even more valuable.
While Duo harbors no actual hostility towards the Corp., he whole-heartedly supports any opportunity to show off his skills. He works well with a variety of personalities, and is willing to fund his own repair and maintenance. In fact, this is how he met up with the Gundam Runners group. It was through a charming techno-wiz and drone rigger, Sally Po. He was buying replacement engine parts when he overheard the dealer yelling at a stately looking figure in the back. What he overheard was Sally, arguing with Treize Kushrenada, her run op. For a run coming up, they needed a vehicle rigger, and there was a drastic shortage in expert (or even amateur) riggers within his contacts. Because Duo can never resist putting in his two cents (and because what Kushrenada was offering to pay was a considerable amount) he casually dropped the fact that he was, indeed, the best in the business. Kushrenada hired him immediately (after a short discussion with Duo about becoming a permanent operative and Duo's suggestions on his percent of the cash flow). Of course, you'd be a fool to let such talent go to waste.
