I don't know what to put here. Guys? GUYS?!
Kenny Wu, the Hackz0rz



So, I'm not supposed to say this, but yeah. I'm not here because I'm some sort of uber-cyborg or something. Sure, I've got a bit of tech built into my arms, but it's all just so I can work my magic. I was breaking into some ultra-tech server site, looking for something to help pay for a trip out of Hong Kong, put aside some stuff for the future. The guys who caught me gave me a choice, a really easy choice: Spend time in a Hong Kong prison or work as some sort of student socializing sort, and if I need to, be there for technical assistance if it's needed. Unless my arms go crazy, I'll be here to shut things down if I need be. I'm still not allowed to do any unauthorized hacking, but they're not tracking me most of the time. As long as I don't do anything they'd find out of line, I'm pretty sure I'll be fine. Plus, it's still education credit, so no one's gotta know I was caught doing anything illegal. They got me over a barrel, though, so I'm not looking to fight with them directly unless this turns into some sort of bad movie.

This is a step up in terms of a place to stay, and I'm thinking the longer I'm here, the more I'm gonna figure out about how all this code works. It's a win-win. Better than some generic, white-wall apartment back home. No parents screaming at me about how I'm slacking off or playing too many games. I think things'll be just fine here.

Work In Progress

Look: Guarded, playful eyes
Origin: Dabbler, info's everywhere.

Stats: Hot -1, Cold 1, Volatile -1, Dark 2

Sympathetic Tokens Tech Fragments:
You gain power from Tech Fragments - items of personal significance that you take from others. Each Tech Fragment counts as a String.

Spellcasting Hacking:
Choose two that you know. To use them, either expend a Tech Fragment during a bit of furious type, or meet the target’s gaze and type at them in tongues. Then roll with dark. On a 10 up, the Hack works,
and can easily be reversed. On a 7-9, it works but chooseone:
}} the Hack does you 1 harm;
}} the Hack has unexpected side effects;
}} trigger your Darkest Self.

Bide My Time: If you’ve got a sympathetic token against someone, add 1 to all rolls to hold steady against their actions or to run away from them.

[b] Known Hacks: [b]
Binding Recursive Motor Block: The person cannot physically harm others.
Watching Eye Receptor Feed: You enter full VR, and begin to see the world through the eyes of the hacked. You can feel their reactions to and impressions of what they are seeing.
