Vexx

"Do you know that it cost us less to recruit and use up a real snuff whore than it does to set up and run a virtual equivalent format? Real human flesh is cheaper than a machine. Its the axiomatic truth of our times." Richard K. Morgan Core Node Overview Unlike the photos, Vexx does not wear eyeliner. However, it is his eyes that draw the most attention. They appear organic, save for the iris—silently crackling bolts pulse between his pupil and the white of those orbs, the flickering bolts a neon green in color. Vexx is not a Shadowrunner. He's a street punk with a lot of potential, and his +sheet matches that. I'm hoping to see him slowly introduced into the profession, a good story of how Vexx became a Shadowrunner that I can look back on. Roleplaying Hooks In the Meat Vexx lives on his own, and has to do all the things that come with that. Buying household supplies and groceries in the Souk Marketplace is an easy way to run into him, if you stumble upon one of the random intervals that he decides to visit. He also has a penchant for Chinese food, which could place him on any UCAS Warrens street haggling with a cart-vendor for noodles. He's not much of a drinker, bar-trips are infrequent. On the 'Trix Everyone has a worthless toy that they love. Vexx has a few, but one of them is a program that he's created which allows him to travel from node to node via a digital hoverboard that glides and grinds across unfiltered datastreams. It won't get him past any security, but it sure is fun. He spends a fair amount of time in gaming nodes, particularly a semi-popular MMO called "Lands of Lorecraft", where he is a level 98 Human Loremaster, and he would love to tell you all about it. In general, I enjoy getting creative with how our characters first meet, I find relationships that have some story to how they began make for better long term tales.

I'm not cutting any corners, alright? So I don't know who mom or dad is. I was a botched abortion, dropped from a second story window into the dumpster of a Cyberdeck shop, CyberSlackers. Apparently I was all rearranged, but old Walt Marx got me fixed up. He always said I was lucky he cleaned out his files the day before so I landed on a metric fuckton of paper. He was the owner operator of that little shop, and by the age of 8 I was his boots on the ground. Running errands, delivering messages, picking up new parts, just running through the daily gig. I learned to talk fast, think faster, and most importantly keep my head firmly attached to my shoulders. I never did get any kind of identification, which is why the only place I'd be able to earn enough to eat was ol' Walt's CyberDeck shop. But while I was there, you know I got curious. I'm a genius, after all. So, I started tinkering, and before you know it, I was helping Walt with the toughest repair jobs. For my thirteenth birthday, he got me a DNI Jack. I met people, living in a world I never knew existed. I met the technological rats, swimming in an ocean of information. The data networks spoke to me, man, like pussy speaks to your dick, you trackin' Ace? So of course I started poking around. At first, it was just cracking systems where I could, but time passed, and before I turned 17 I had turned the matrix into money. It became an obsession, but with it came knowledge. An outside view on how things really worked, and my philosophical spin got lit up like an overheated amp cable. That's when I started breaking into corp systems with a new mission statement. I'd leave little messages, wipe vulnerable records, whatever I could do to slow them down. Now, I'm 19, and I'm just trying to find my next job. That's the rhythm of a city in the shadows, I guess. We'll see how the credits fall.
