	===Summary===		===Summary===
	Apex is a ~~shadowrunner who~~, ~~through~~ the ~~combination~~ of ~~careful biological and genetical calibration~~, ~~genuine talent and reckless use~~ of ~~nootropic substances~~, ~~manages~~ to ~~reach quite good levels~~ of ~~intellect. This nova hot~~ brain is ~~put to use as a decker, specifically one specialized into~~ the ~~more subtle and sneaky side~~ of ~~the trade~~, ~~but that doesn't shy away from making use of barbaric tools such as data spikes or even~~, ~~''gasps'', firearms~~.		Apex is a decker that instead of following the traditional route of burning your nuyens to buy yourself a nice deck, and maybe some augments to help you pilot it, did the exact opposite. Sporting all sorts of mind alterating pieces of ware, all aspects of their mind have been enhanced, from memory, to pattern recognition, to mathematical skills to ability to process drugs. The drawback of turning your brain into an overclocked mess is paid in the way of a crippling paranoia, being a bit too attached to their drugs, and some social skills being somewhat lacking.

	===Goals===		===Goals===

	*On a short term, ~~get to upgrade their ware~~ and cyberdeck to ~~better specs~~, ~~specifically acquiring~~ a ~~stronger agent~~, ~~some PuSHed genemod~~ and a ~~better deck~~ (~~Fairlight stuff ideally~~, ~~Sony CIY-720 realistically~~).		==On a short term==
			*Upgrade the bioware (genetic optimization for logic, PuSHed, Masque and Qualia genemods, better cerebral and cerebellum boosters)
			*Upgrade the hardware (getting an EVO Sublime or better cyberdeck, a better agent and possibly some drones to not have to be in the frontline)

			==On a long term==
			*Investing more time in their side interests (learning new languages, enjoying good music and possibily get into a Prime Datahave)
			*Establish themself as the most capable hacker in the shadows of Seattle (this isn't out of pride or need for validation, but rather as a sheer deterrent for others that may want to fuck with them)
			*Getting enough nuyens to be able to live a luxurious lifestyle and decking as a hobby rather then something they need to survive
			*Building up a network of professionals to eventually move onto legal businesses, especially in the field of genemodding
			*Proceed deeper and deeper into transhumanist territory, and acquire immortality (be it with leonization, HMHVV or some other methods they aren't aware of right now)

	*On a long term, push their mind further and further into transhuman territory, to truly become, the Apex they crave to be. Oh, emptying the Zurich Orbital's datavault seems kinda nice too.

	Kai's early life is basically uneventful as it gets. Born in a loving family of AA wageslaves (and UCAS SINners) that sadly never got to enjoy much quality time with their only child, got raised more by trids then their parents, the most boring, Sixth world family ever. The first spark of oddity was around the child's 6th birthday, when they got their very first commlink, a Sony Angel. It was an instant crush. Spending days trying to push new buttons, do new things, in general pushing the boundaries of that tech further and further.		Kai's early life is basically uneventful as it gets.

Spending days trying to push new buttons, do new things, in general pushing the boundaries of that tech further and further.

	Seeing the passion in their children the family decided to do some overtime shift and save up that extra cash, to make sure that maybe, just maybe, with those funds going into paying for a better school, Kai could live a life better then theirs. Their only child took this blessing very seriously, and studied hard, REALLY hard, to make it into ~~NeoNET~~'s young prodigy program. Basically, the AAA corp periodically scoops up potentially talented hackers from technical schools, promises them a future in the company, and gets a stream of high performing idiots who accept to get paid well below the rates they deserve cause they are still blinded by the hope of moving up the ranks. Usual corp drek.

	Kai managed to get inside, and while outside they were the most talented kid on the block, here they were just one of the many. The competition was fierce, but Kai was terrorized by failure, so they kept putting more and more effort in what they did.		Kai managed to get inside, and while outside they were the most talented kid on the block, here they were just one of the many. The competition was fierce, but Kai was terrorized by failure, so they kept putting more and more effort in what they did.

	2 years in, it came the realisation that a regular meatbrain, no matter how talented, could only get you so far, and thus Kai started using (and abusing) nootropic substances, soon finding out about psyche. That edge right there, THAT was what it was missing. With this newfound brain juice, the competition with the fellow interns stopped looking like a bloody free for all, and more like a managaeble fight for the spotlight with the other 2 or 3 truly talented kids with a surrounding background noise of mediocrity.		2 years in, it came the realisation that a regular meatbrain, no matter how talented, could only get you so far, and thus Kai started using (and abusing) nootropic substances, soon finding out about psyche.

	After that, years kept passing, but the hope for a truly great work position started to fade. With their family still sustaining them and paying for rent and other necessary expences, Kai was able to get some kickass mods, all with the very specific purpose of pushing their brain further and further, to be the best decker that ~~NeoNET~~ office ever saw.

	And it kinda worked! Kai was, in fact, very good at the job. But with grandeur comes boredom, and that underlying feeling that you are being gravely underestimated. So, they did what all deckers do, and started trying to contact the shadows.		And it kinda worked! Kai was, in fact, very good at the job.

	Picking up cyberduels for fun here and there, they realized that wow, those ~~NeoNET~~ teachers may have been full of drek, but taught how to codesling quite nicely. Those escapes were enough for Kai to assess their position in the Matrix food chain (which would be above most AA spiders but below the upper crust of shadowrunner hackers), and with some estimations, they realized that it could have been enough to get running with a profit aproximately 3 times better then what they were already earning, with margins of improvement.

	Seeing with their own eyes how crazy good corps can be at tracking down people, when Kai finally "got extracted" the first urge was to go in places where no one could track them.
