Either way works for me.

Just a heads up, don't want to come off as rude, but dialogue is supposed to be spirited by a paragraph. Good post otherwise.

Name: Tsuge Arakawa
Aliases: None, he finds the concept rather strange.
Gender: Male
Age: 25
Appearance:


Goals: Excitement, comfort and rare guns… discreetly.
Cyberware/Bioware:

Full-body muscle & bone lace
Toxin Binders
Equipment:

Mateba Sei Unica, chambered in .44 magnum, with 5-inch barrel, four speed loaders & 6 loose ‘utility’ rounds (often some flavor of AP)
FN Browning Archos, with three magazines
Sternmeyer M-95A4 rifle, with 4 magazines, sling, and a bag for concealed transport
Agent computer phone
EBM PCX portable computer
Ballistic t-shirt, rated NIJ IIIA
Binoculars
Electronic shooter earplugs
Ductape, lock-picking tools, multitool, paper, pen, pocket torch, refillable lighter, zip ties

Job: Private investigator
Backstory:
In 1945 Captain Otoya Arakawa of the Imperial Japanese Army emigrated to South America following Japan’s crushing defeat at the hands of the United States, giving birth to a lineage of polite, serious minded men, who settled down into the local aristocracies. Far off from Japan, his family clung onto their culture as an anchor in unsure times. But at the turn of the millennium, when American expansionism turned its eyes to the tropical continent in the Central American wars, much of the family left the destruction towards their ancestral homeland. It was a radically different Japan to which they migrated, and the fossilized traditions held onto by the exiled branch of the Arakawas were seen as quaint or plainly antiquated. Even the language offered some trouble, but they nevertheless dug in their heels and settled down, becoming well known for being polite, serious and deeply nostalgic.
A few generations later, in the year of 2050, Tsuge Arakawa was born near the Hokkaido countryside. He was a serious and polite man with a severe case of nostalgia which confused his friends and family when, despite a rather normal childhood and a well-paying job in the Japanese police, the young man decided to emigrate and set his eyes overseas. In Cascadia he found risky employment as a private investigator. But why leave Japan for a decaying empire? Why leave the placid country for what he considered a bleak, artificial, city life? That he will not tell, or at least he will give a different answer whenever asked. Nevertheless, he seems to be enjoying his time in the city, rain and crime included.

Intersecting paths works best. As it stands, I can either find a way to have your characters on the path to finding IEC's case, or you can start with your own knowledge of it being missing and trying to track it down.

For the latter, either buying the info from a broker or knowing/being someone who managed to find the info on their own would work.

Pretty easy to begin with. Difficulty depends on what your personal definition of 'difficult' is.

I was just wondering whether you were going to have the "of course I wasn't going to make twenty large this easily" moment during the pickup or near the end of this job, that's all.
