While Mercs, guns-for-hire, corporate thugs, and shocktroopers are a dime a dozen, Ronin are truly deadly warriors cut above the rest. Whether working as a corporate Solo, or as a deadly assassin for a spy agency, ronin were reborn with a gun in their hand. Many Ronin deck themselves in the most dangerous of cyberware, to give them any kind of edge over their opponents.
Their focus in combat makes them exceptionally quick, resilient, and strong. They also have learned how to pass their skills on to others. They know tricks and tactics that make them truly an artist on the battlefield, and have mastered all manner of weapon. They have enchanced abilities, better than even that of a normal human. This is explained either by the byproduct of some hazardous environment, where they not only survived but thrived, some kind of enchanting ritual utilizing exotic xeno ingredients to give the user strength and power, should the survive, or the product of some kind of corpo super soldier program.
