Background and History


James was one of the many teens that grew through the nineties: he owned about ten consoles in total over his life, had a liking for a handful of internet artists, played only 10% of the games in his steam library and dreamed of developing games. His awakening occurred as he tried to replicate an honest to god Doctor Who Sonic Screwdriver, a device he worked a solid six months on it, months that blurred, were filled with weird dreams until he figured how he could make it work. That was when he awakened. The Adepts were not far behind in their organized Trolling. Soon enough he found himself on a trail sending him halfway across the world, spending his college fund on airplane tickets and looking for an elusive answer to a puzzle to win a million dollars. What he won instead is membership, and a group of impressed peers. As an adult, all of that improved on him, but left him a bitter man.

Description: Tall, toned, a bit tan, chiseled features. A man that would impress a decent amount of women if he smiled more often.

NOTES

Avatar - His avatar as well as his dataspace avatar is a figure of pure energy that is vaguely shaped as a person. One looking at it would see a flow that hits at a human shape. His Avatar looks more like a White, fuzzy person-like entity
Resources - Programming is a very fruitful job, plus his retainer holds a job as well
Mentor - Ch153l, AKA Charles Jameson, a more experienced but still not too deep in hacker who's seen a good ten years in the Tradition
Arcane - The previous event of James's destruction of his life saw his very essence focus into not being remembered. He fades from pictures, portraits, memory, and documents on him are increasingly hard to get unless he wills it
Certification - However, his documentation, several permits in good standing (all fake, but well faked) is rather solid
Library - A reputable collection of tomes
Contacts - The VA keep in touch and go everywhere, and he has some in journalists, academics, even the underground
Retainer - His girlfriend, Sarah Stone, who keeps the house in shape and lets him focus on his work
Alternate Identity - He can always use his old identity... Emanuel Silverman, with all the bad rep it has
Node - A server farm in Atlanta, to which he does not walk, but connect through the net to refuel with juice
Sanctum - A hacker's cave can be a veritable place of wonder, especially when he is clever to not keep it close to home
Ward - His Girlfriend, Sarah Stone. She would follow him anywhere and is very loving
Bigot - Due to a Night Sun revealing his secret and destroying his public life back in Atlanta, James is now VERY wary of any religious folk
Dark Secret - Not finding it out here
Enemy - An Imbued who has gone well into several derangements from too much virtues, and now only sees a monster to be cleansed, especially at the thought of one getting into Hunter-net
