Movers
In 2065 most moving crews are composed of low income low education Orks or Humans. Most companies prefer to hire Orks when possible because of their greater strength while still being able to fit easily in most truck cabs and residences. These guys are the frontline of the relocation industry, carrying the load both literally and figuratively. They do have their uses though, one might just get you inside a corp enclave as hired on casual labor, moving companies with corp contracts do background checks but nothing too serious. In addition they have been inside just about every apartment and condoplex in their area, and for a fee can probably recall the layout in pretty good detail.

Maid
She might not be a power broker, but she knows more than she's letting on. She's got her nose in everyone's garbage, literally. And she knows the dirt on the rich and famous.

Street Mime
Sure, nobody likes them. They are the very symbol of annoyance. And yet they can blend into the crowd if they need to. Like a ninja, a mime is often forgotten when he doesn't speak.

Receptionist
Speaking of invisible people, everybody forgets the receptionists, even when you hit on them. And yet, they know who comes and who goes, and who is calling whom.

Building Cleaning Crew
Without OSHA, unions, or a minimum wage to bother them, hiring meat cleaners is actually cheaper for the corps than cleaning drones. These are people with access to secure areas and to other people's dirty laundry, or at least their trash.

Accountant
Most people don't even know their accountant's name, and yet they know what happened to every nuyen those people didn't claim on their taxes.

Bicycle Couriers
Sure most of the time you just want to run these idiots off the road, or maybe they are sending you diving for cover on the sidewalk, but thanks to performance enhancing mods and headware memory they may be one of the more secure data transmission services available, and unlike your comm they can deliver a package too. Of course make friends over a few sports drinks and they might share a thing or two about where they've been and who been sending them on errands, if you're lucky they may have a copy, but you'll have to crack the encryption on your own. Like so many low level contractors and employees these guys have access to all the downtown office towers.

Espresso Cart Owner
One of the last small entrepenuers left in the sprawl, the Espresso cart operator rolls her cart out every morning before dawn to set the sararimen up with their grande mocha with 3 extra shots. Like any good coffee monger she knows her customers, knows their drinks, knows their schedule, and knows a bit about their lives. She also sees a lot of what goes on on her corner, so what's an extra large tip with your morning coffee to get the local buzz with your caffine buzz?

File clerk (corp wageslave)
some offices still use paper. they have to keep and store hardcopy for legal reasons. this includes law offices, banking, and goverment offices. Someone has to manage those files, keeping them in order, retreiving things on command, and making sure nothing bad happens (a burst pipe can ruin your day). and of course, most files have been scanned thus saving the time and hassle of pulling a copy every time you need to look at it, so files can be safely stored offsite.

low pay, low skill. but hes got decent credit and no criminal record. and you may be able to bribe him to look up some information for you. and his company handles offsite storage for a dozen firms or more. blueprints? tax records? patents? yeah. he can make a copy for ya.

why waste time with a datasteal to get the digital files, when a couple hundred can get you a photocopy?

Garbage Collector
Sure he may be a myth in the barrens where you live, but he fills an essential if invisible role in the upscale neighborhoods. He works for a city contractor, for low nuyen. He picks up what the maid, the cleaning crew, the butler, and the family or small business leaves out for him, which depending on the neighborhood may be pure gold to the right people. Working early in the morning or late in the evening he sees the darker side of the city streets and alleys as well as the trash of the rich and famous. Since part of the job involves sorting out recyclables (for a bit of extra money) the Trash Collector may just have what you need, and god knows he could use the nuyen.

Migrant Tribal Worker
Highly educated but unable to find consistent work within the NAN, she uses her skills to buy an ambassador tag from her home country, giving her the right to legally nation hop. Then, she works the fields as a supervisor for a tribe of migrants at various megafarms. Her status as a NAN official allows her to loophole employment laws: essentially, the landowners pay her, and she hires the migrants - all perfectly legal. The immigration departments of various nations may scrutinize her, but places like the Ute-PCC and Tir need workers so desperately that they do little more than demand a bribe. If you want to sneak around with migrant workers, she's your first stop at gaining their trust.

Maitre D'
He is the front door man for an exclusive restaurant, the kind where the rich and powerful dine, but only if they are on the list. So how would you like to get on the list? The Maitre D' can put you, or your high class alias, on the list if you get to know him. Because behind the French Linguasoft and the arrogant facade he's a regular guy doing his best to make a nuyen and get by.

DMV Office Worker (wage slave)
A bored civil servant working at the Department of Motor Vehicles, this government wageslave has data at her fingertips that puts the highest paid data brokers to shame.

Street Vendor
You don't want to know what are in those "hot dogs" he sells but drop him some nuyen and he might happily divulge all he sees from his street corner vantage.

Shoe Shiner
With his kit and chair the shoe shine may be set up in an office tower lobby, a park, or on a street corner to ply his trade. People see him both to get their wing tips waxed and for the snappy conversation. He gets to know his clients and sees a lot of what goes on in his area, and might share for a particularly good tipper.

Taxi Driver
If the streets are the veins and arteries of life, then the Taxi cab is that red blood cell among the billions. Always on the move, always watching his surroundings (be it the corp princess in the back, the cars on either side, or the gangers around the second corner). They know the roads and pathways better than their own apartments. If you need to know what's moving, where, and how to beat it there - this is your friend.

(Assorted skills, Driving & Knowledge primarily)

Simdoll Trader
Sex is money. And this trader has something perfect for you, even if your too ugly to attract a boil. His goods range from full body pleasure dolls to individual portions. But when you deal with the bottom rung, you can always get more than looks offer. Including information on local drug raids, safehouses, and corp activity. And if you have the cred, pleasure dolls rigged for some decidedly non-pleasant activities, and high grade robotics if the drones could use a kick.

(Alot of Con and Etiquette, some ability to defend themselves. Also generally a hacker or Technomancer, with some assassin dolls amid the selection)

Dinosaur Fanboy
Dinosaurs. Yes, dinosaurs. So what if his hobby has to do with 65 million year old dead things. So what if it doesn't have a single thing to do with anything currently walking on the planet. Even the Great Dragons can laugh at this poor sap. Chronically overdressed, with no social skills to speak of. But if you need to know anything about any of the museums in the city - he's your man. He even knows the security guards on a first name basis and when the vending machine man, James, comes to refill the Snickers.

(Pure knowledge skills, w/ Low Pain Tolerance, and Ineptitude; Social Skills)

Geologist
This guy is in to rocks, mud, earthquakes, and volcanos. Most of the time he's just a guy out taking soil samples, raising a stink about building codes, and scaring people in to moving off hillsides. He might fit some time to teach a class at the community college in to his schedule too. But what he knows about rocks, minerals, and dirt can be useful to the right person, it could give away where something came from or help you with a structure hit. Oh and he and his seismograph can tell you the difference between an earthquake and an underground explosion.

Street Psychiatrist
People who go to the shadows aren't always trying to kill, steal from, or blackmail somebody. When their only legitimate option for therapy is the company shrink, who'd gladly sell your files to your coworkers, you turn to him. He'll tell you everything the company shrink isn't told to say, and may dredge up things in your subconscious you just don't want to deal with. But the experience will make you a stronger person. Hopefully. He may or may not share his patient information with you, depending on how much he hates his client.

Skills: Possibly mage with freaky mind-affecting spells, social skills.

Mnemonic Courrier
The mnemonic courrier facilitates the transfer of information via a headware storage device. You never know when his skills might come in handy (just don't ask about his parents).

Firearms Group 3

Air Traffic Controller (Wage slave)
The Air Traffic Controller is a tremendously useful man to know for those times when you're flying your heavily-armored panzer in the vicinity of a major air lane (or major metropolitan area) and aren't especially fond of anti-aircraft fire and government interceptors.

Taxidermist
One part artist, one part surgeon, and one part embalmer the Taxidermist is one odd duck. Dealing in the long term preservation of dead animals is a vanishing art, but one still in moderate demand with Big Game Hunters, Critter Hunters, and Sport Fishermen. In short he knows plenty of people who have the time and money to pursue these hobbies. He also has the leftovers from there work, which he carefully preserves for sale to those needing certain unusual materials, magicians mostly. A few of the less scrupulous members of the trade have been known to do work on metahuman corpses, either disposal or preservation....

Gunsmith
Maestro, gunsmith/shadowrunner. A professional criminal for fifteen years and running, the Maestro understands that the key to succeeding at a job is having the right tool, and knowing how to use it. The subtle power of a narcojet pistol, the surgical precision of a sniper rifle, and the unfocused devastation of a claymore mine can all be powerful tools to apply to a run- and he can use them all with skill and confidence. If he can't find the peice he needs in his considerable arsenal, no worries- give him a week or two and he'll make it himself.

His street name comes from a bizarre and unique weapon he has designed and made his firearm of choice. Cross-linking his smartlink with a musician's synthlink and extensively redesigning a gas vent with valves and precise tonal proportions, Maestro has transformed a standard Ingram LMG into an exquisite wind instrument that plays a requiem for his enemies as he guns them down.

Street Grifter
This guy has a new trick every couple of weeks, he's constantly reinventing himself, and if he had ever worked as hard at a trade, job, or skill as he does on his wacky confidence schemes he'd have made something of himself by now. Or has he? Whether it's street corner Three Card Monty, bait & switch discount merchandise, or selling phony vacations & cruise packages the Street Grifter has probably been mixed up in at some point in time. In the process he's acquired all sorts of personal information, ID's, account numbers, personal items, and gossip from his victims. Careful though he's pretty slippery and while he acts like your buddy to him you may be just another mark.

City Engineer (Wage Slave)
Highly educated the city engineer has foresaken the corporate world to work in the public sector. City engineers have a variety of specializations ranging from transit systems to waste management to facilities maintenance. In addition to being very good at the technical part of their jobs they are proficient in navigating city bureaucracies, negotiating budgets, and stretching the NuYen they do get up to and including going to the Shadows to make that NuYen stretch the extra mile.

"You need covert access to the Arc? No Problem use the utilities tunnel access on 2nd & Marion and head south, past the drainage shaft and the Incubus lair to this old steam tunnel, oh and while your down there check the breakers on junction box 9746, reset it if you can I think the Devil Rats chewed through it again

Free Clinic Supervisor (street Doc)
Need to have somebody take a quick look at that infection you've picked up? The free clinic supervisor's been working discreetly for a Megacorp for years, identifying people who can be "disappeared" for various research products. The money they're paid under the table's been gnawing at their conscience, though, and maybe they'd like somebody to find out who's responsible and what's been going on. Besides this, they can take care of any number of minor health problems on the QT.
