Frequently Asked Questions
The core of the Fixer’s Trade is the cultivation of a massive network of favors and contacts within a shimmering, chromed-up dystopia. Rather than relying solely on combat or hacking, a fixer acts as the lubricant in the gears of society, serving as a fencer, smuggler, and information broker. Their primary role is to solve complex problems that others cannot define, ensuring they remain the most influential figures in any room.
The Operator ability is the primary weapon of a fixer, distinguishing them from common street thugs or low-level dealers. While carrying a gun is advisable, this specific ability represents the deep connections and expertise required to navigate the street and manage information brokerage. It is the essential tool that allows a fixer to procure restricted tech or arrange meetings with elusive individuals who do not wish to be found.
A fixer operates across all levels of a cyberpunk dystopia, from sleek, posh city offices to cluttered cars on rain-slicked street corners. They maintain power by knowing everyone and managing the flow of both material goods and sensitive information. For example, a fixer might sell high-end smart-shades to a corporate executive while simultaneously selling that same executive’s private schedule to a rival, proving that information is the ultimate currency.
