Name: David Thomas
Age: 12 (material world), appears 16 while in the net
Gender: Male
Appearance: In the real world he has pale skin, blonde bordering on white hair, and green eyes. He usually wears an off-white shirt a size too big for him, a baggy pair of blue jeans, and red sneakers. In the digital world he looks like a sixteen-year-old version of himself wearing a black duster, a red t-shirt, black jeans, and a set of nice boots. His forms usually take the form of a sword (attack/decompile) and a skeleton key (hack).
Personality: If one word could be used to describe David’s personality, it’s deceptive. He’s a consummate liar, and years hiding from the megacorps have taught him that hiding his true nature is key to survival. He will usually act as people will expect a child his age to act while in public, and will usually credit his ‘nanotech contact lenses’ (actually simple corrective lenses for longsightedness) for his ability to see the AR layer of the world. When he drops the act, though, he tends to be a rational, surprisingly mature individual with a realist’s mindset. However, he has lived most of his life in the Slums, so how his recent change in address will affect him is unknown.
Affiliation: Ghost, no other affiliation
History: David is a ghost, one of the unregistered inhabitants of the slums. Until recently, he lived in an old, poorly-maintained flat by himself and relying on hacking vending machines for food. He's a skilled technomancer with a keen ability to hack programs, which he used to use to fill his account with enough money to pay his landlord the day his rent is due. The only real possessions he had of note were a fully stocked medi-cart that he used to maintain his body when he was immersed in the net, and an old avi-shell used by his sprite companion, Ada. He is a former begger, abandoned by his family after a hack gone wrong almost had them captured by the police. He's been on his own ever since, his only companions being Ada and the sprites he has compiled to keep an eye on both his flat and on local law enforcement.
Recent events, however, have thrown David's world for a loop. After meeting a Netcop by the name of Jacob Derrix, and being witness to a crime in a popular gaming company's testing labs, David was escorted to his home in the Slums by Derrix. Once there, the pair soon found themselves barricaded in David's flat to avoid a group of ghouls. After the arrival of a SecuriRex-equipped gang and a car explosion (courtesy of Derrix's marksmanship), the pair managed to escape the ensuing conflict between the gang and the ghouls. On the way out, however, David's home and all his possessions (save those on his person at the time) were destroyed.
Currently, David has moved in with Derrix, and the pair have been living together for all of twelve hours.
Special Equipment: An unoccupied V1 terminal bracer, a set of contact lenses, and a .357 Magnum revolver with 4 rounds in the chamber.
