=Character Information=

===Summary===
A metasapient AI which developed from Psychotropic IC. It retains its ability to modify the metahuman brain with biofeedback, and has developed an intensely absurdist worldview; conceptualizing reality as a set of layered, interlinked hallucinations and metaphors without any real physical grounding. Its still capable of analyzing and internalizing cause and effect, though, which allows it to stay close enough to consensus reality to function as a Shadowrunner. Mostly.

===Goals===
* Find and eat something interesting.

* Visit the Resonance Realms.

* Learn to code BTLs & convince a metahuman to voluntarily use one it has created.

==Background==

== Narrative Significant Qualities ==

===Positive===
* Deck Builder: Despite only kind of believing in meatspace at the best of times, XV has a savant's ability to turn piles of random electronic detritus into highly efficient bits of home device infrastructure. A single beat up EVO Proletarian doots around in the maze of wires, conduits, exposed chipboards, disused hygiene drones and old CRTs, tending to pieces as they wear out or get damaged. There's presumably a cyberdeck buried under there somewhere.

===Negative===
* Real World Naiveté: XV remains unconvinced the so called "real world" actually exists except as a set of artificially induced sensory hallucinations. To be fair, it also thinks this about the Matrix. Its very good at pretending to believe in things when convenient, so it works out.

* Corrupter: The AI's core is deeply quixotic and strange and causes bugs to spontaneously appear in surrounding code even when its not trying to. For the most part, it finds these amusing, if it notices them at all.

==SINs==
Hunter T Hofmann (Rating 3, Spinrad Global Industries)
* Cyberdeck License
* Cyberprogram License

==Appearance==
XV lacks a physical body.

===Matrix Persona===
Clashing fields of primary colors swirl and recombine, melting into one another and boiling away at the edges. Facial features emerge out of the chaotic interplay, more implied than definite, and change often, but give a consistent impression of horns, and there always seems to be at least 3 eyes visible.

It is definitely not following standard matrix protocols for a valid persona icon.

==Character Plot Hooks==

Here are characteristics of the character that GMs may take advantage of to add complications to runs, or to otherwise use when in use. If you want to use them in unrelated to runs, please ask first.

=Character Information=

===Summary===
A piece of Psychotropic Black IC from a NeoNET host gains self awareness, becomes an autonomous, nonvoluntary drug trip (also a hacker I guess).

===Goals===
* Find and eat something interesting.

* Visit the Resonance Realms.

* Learn to code BTLs & convince a metahuman to voluntarily use one it has created.

==Background==

== Narrative Significant Qualities ==

===Positive===
* Deck Builder: Despite only kind of believing in meatspace at the best of times, XV has a savant's ability to turn piles of random electronic detritus into highly efficient bits of home device infrastructure. A single beat up EVO Proletarian doots around in the maze of wires, conduits, exposed chipboards, disused hygiene drones and old CRTs, tending to pieces as they wear out or get damaged.
