Character Information

Summary

Chance was born in North Redmond and thinks that Outremer is a long way from Seattle. He is a brilliant mind that has been largely filled with Barrens garbage and life on the streets. A fairly competent Decker, Chance barely pays attention to how much skill he actually brings to the table in the matrix, preferring to act like the street hooligan he is and refusing to be constrained in nearly any situation.

In recent months chance is only sporadically seen coming and going in Redmond and most of his work has gone digital, largely because after events in [Welcomes Careful Drivers] he has been living at least part time, and sometimes more on Echo Station in Geosynchronous Orbit as space pirate "The Void" and only occasionally shows up in the flesh in Seattle.. When he does, it is rarely as "Chance the Decker" but instead is on a Loco speedball fueled rampage as "The Barrens Spaceman."

After his visit to Australia he is working to keep one foot in both places more frequently and starting to consider the world around him just a little bit more.

Goals

Cultivate identities in different places and facets of the Matrix to facilitate a little more freedom to move around without notice in the shadows.

Buildup the so called "Void Net" information sharing network to rapidly disburse sercets he learns and feels can be shard quickly and worldwide.

Continue to improve his decking and rigging skills, now social skills as well.

Make an actual sasquatch friend.

Die a legend.

He was smart enough to avoid joining a street gang as of yet, and has been plucked for some shadow work in the meantime. He was always talented in computer lab and has worked as an occasional hacker , barrens tour guide, or sword for hire since he was a teenager.
