Noriko (Picture coming soon; I'm thinking of just drawing something.) High Concept: Trouble: Backstory: Several years ago, RTE agents raided an independent laboratory on charges of illegal AI creation and conspiracy to commit cyberterrorism. While their information was not complete, they had intercepted messages between the scientists. Stated to be indistinguishable from a person, in possession of unprecedented processing power, and capable of breaking into any network or system imaginable, it was deemed a major threat that could not be allowed out in the world. They didn't expect it to be alive. At first they thought that there was a mistake, assuming she was some kid the perpetrators had kidnapped for some reason; after arresting the scientists and relocating her to one of their facilities, though, they made some unnerving discoveries. First, she (or "Noriko", as she referred to herself) didn't exist. There were no records of her anywhere, in any government database. Despite this, when speaking with her she talked about things like a family, a house, and going to school; the school had no knowledge of who she was, the address she gave for her home belonged to someone else entirely, and her supposed family was likewise nonexistent, not only in terms of records, but apparently in any other sense either. Even the notes they had confiscated referred to her as the only subject. Additionally, the tests they ran returned strange results. Mental scans produced readings that were off the charts, and physical tests showed that, though organic rather than cybernetic or arcanotechnology, she wasn't quite human. Left with some worrying questions, they had no choice but to continue the later with better equipment and specialists they didn't have on hand. When they returned the next day, she was gone. The door to the room where she was contained was wide open, and both security footage and all data related to her had been erased. And the agents who had been involved with her case had their personal information posted on the Internet, and their 401(k)s emptied. Invoke: Compel: Yomikiri: In the years after her escape, Noriko lived two lives. In reality, she was an ordinary schoolgirl (though no one seemed to see her actually going to school), albeit one who was extraordinarily socially awkward. She had trouble speaking to people or even looking them in the eyes, fidgeting and speaking softly most of the time. Her appearance as a young girl made things even more difficult, limiting the places she could go and things she could do, as well as when she could go out in public without getting in trouble for ditching school that she didn't go to in the first place; that she did not appear to be getting any older as time went on did not help here. In general, she tried to keep to herself as much as possible. Online, though, she was a completely different person. Free from others' perceptions of her (and some of her own insecurities), she took to the 'Net with ease. Loud, brash, and extremely skilled with computers and systems, she began to garner a reputation as an expert hacker, and a very active one at that. At first, it was mostly limited to small-scale stuff, as well as non-hacking-related things such as dominating online games to the point of being accused of botting, though occasionally government agents found their personal info leaked and all the data on their computers replaced with a "wink" emoticon. You know, the usual stuff. Eventually, though, she got up to what the government and media called a dangerous wave of cyberterrorism, the geeky Internet crowd really awesome, and the general public just loving weird. Besides another breach of RTE and OOI security, Eventually, she met (online, of course) with a representative from G://0st, who found her skills impressive, even if how she put them to use was a bit over the top. They also, though they didn't mention it, had found some RTE files listing who, or rather what, she really was; while the originals had been erased the agents were able to record what they remembered, and when this latest wave of activity broke out they managed to put two and two together. Promising better and more interesting things to put her skills towards, protection from government agents that might track her down, and a relatively legitimate source of income, G://0st offered her membership; after thinking things over, she accepted. Invoke: Reputation online, Compel: Not being taken seriously due to apparent age, difficulty in face-to-face interaction, notoriety as a hacker and cybercriminal Volume Three: Generally, G://0st tries to keep Noriko away from the front lines. Besides the risk of losing a useful individual (and unique specimen), it's far easier for her handlers to keep watch on her in a controlled environment, and besides that her lack of physical ability can make her a bit of a liability. Sometimes, though, a mission comes along that her skills are necessary for, or at least there isn't an acceptable alternative in the area. This was one of those times; G://0st was assisting the Diogenes Club in dealing with a lab belonging to the Disciples of the Cold Ones, and the place was locked down tight in more ways than one. Besides having far more armed guards than one would expect a bunch of insane scientists to be capable of mustering, OVA: TBD Omake: TBD [Still working on the mechanical side of things.] Skills +5 Computer Freak, Systems +4 Contacts, Scholarship +3 Deceit, Will +2 Empathy, Intimidation +1 Presence, Rapport (Passion should replace Crafts for working on computers and other technology, either replace or complement online investigations and technological knowledge, and complement most other things online, like social interactions. Idea is that the character is really good online and with technology but basically shuts down in real life conversations, which I think the Passion for the former and Aspect compels for the latter works pretty well for. Also the skill used to get high scores in video games. As for how this would work as a Passion, well, think of Serial Experiments Lain. Over the course of it Lain becomes some mysterious super-hacker Internet celebrity everyone's crazy about, her room slowly turns into a freaky machine cave where you can barely see the walls, and reality itself starts to break down as cyberspace encroaches upon it. I'm aiming for that, or at least the first two.) Stunts : May use Systems instead of Resources. : Use Systems instead of Burglary for technology-based activities (hacking keypads, etc.).
