===Summary===
===Summary===
Purkinje is a mystic technomancer with a gnostic approach to matrix studies. She is eager and open to anything when it comes to magic or resonance, believing the two to be deeply related in some way. Her extensive focus on the matrix has led her to unhealthy physical habits such as recreational stimulant use and poor sleep patterns. Deckers, riggers and even other technomancers might find her approach to the craft unorthodox, but she produces results.
Jezebel is a physical adept face who's not too bad with a handgun.
 
===Alignment===
Black Trenchcoat: Jezebel doesn't really care about what jobs she takes, as long as the money is good. She has limits, but they're currently unclear. Her tactical disposition is a preference for subterfuge.
 
===Goals===
===Goals===


*Look out for other elves and technomancers on the streets.
*Earn money for her family.
*Deepen her understanding of resonance, its realms and its paragons.
*Get in good with the Mafia (as much as this is possible for her)
*Fuck up corps, especially MCT.
*Grow [[NCL School for the Gifted]].


==Background==
==Background==
When she was little, Purkinje wanted to be a magician. She saw the magic of Tir Tairngire with a childlike wonder and firmly believed that when she came of age, her latent powers would manifest. They did, but not in the way she wanted. Her parents were appalled to find their daughter an inherent violation of the old ways, and with practically nothing of a support system to help her, she turned to shadowrunning on the streets of Cara'sir as a way to survive. She hopes to find herself in Seattle, somehow.
Jezebel was born to a family of immigrants from the Italian Confederation who lived in Brooklyn. Brooklyn is a primarily Italian-American slum in the New York City sprawl, and contrary to popular belief, it's not Mafia-controlled. However, that didn't stop her from eventually finding herself in contact with with the Ciarniello Family, with whom she now has a basic business relationship. Traditionalist as the Ciarniellos are, they don't mind elves; Jezebel often faces sexist remarks, however, which is where her runner name comes from.
 
Jezebel's family are mostly wageslaves who want to earn an honest living. Where Jezebel differs is she doesn't believe the world is fair enough to reward honest work, and so she shouldn't play fair either. She periodically sends money home to her family, though they're not so strapped for cash they're dependent on her. Whether she succumbs to the vices of the criminal underworld or manages to turn a profit remains to be seen.
 
While Jezebel is a physical adept, her experiences with awakening and magical phenomena have largely been rationalized as a combination of psychological abnormalities, good confidence and hard work. Perhaps on some subconscious level she doesn't want to be awakened or doesn't believe she can be. Time will tell how her self-delusion keeps up.
 
==Narrative Significant Qualities==
==Narrative Significant Qualities==


*'''Technomancer''' & '''Resonant Stream: Sourcerer''': Purkinje possesses a high degree of aptitude with resonance and the matrix in general. Her threading skills are prolific among technomancers.
*'''Spirit Mentor: Seductress''': Jezebel follows the way of Seductress, primarily focused on the manipulation of others through appearance and confidence rather than literal seduction (though that remains an option). Given her delusions of mundaneness, she rationalizes the influence of Seductress as being an internal monologue or, if visions of some sort come up, vivid hallucination. It also doesn't help that Seductress makes her more prone to give in to vices and temptations when she's involved with the criminal underworld.
*'''Bilingual''': A native speaker of both English and Sperethiel, Purkinje can fit in with Tir elves and non-Tir elves without an accent giving her away. Some English idioms are lost on her, though.
*'''Social Appearance Anxiety (2)''': Because Jezebel's ability to perform hinges on her confidence, she has to look her best. When she isn't looking good, her confidence falters, and she doesn't perform as well as she should socially.
*'''Alibi''': In order to have her cons believed, Jezebel has a bunch of stuff ready to go. Fake planners, contact lists, commcodes, et cetera. She plans to expand on this with disguises.

Purkinje is a pale-skinned elf with bright red hair and steely blue eyes. She is quite attractive, though perhaps average by elvish standards. Her form is tall and willowy, not possessed of much muscle. She dresses for the job, either drawing eyes or keeping them off her. She often wears a Berwick suit or dress. When she lets her guard down, she will adorn herself with technofetishes, RFID-tagged jewelry that displays images of her favorite arcane symbols in accordance with her mood via a program on her commlink.

===Matrix Persona===
In the matrix, Purkinje largely appears as she does in meatspace except dressed fancily as a witch with neon magic sigils. Her matrix actions and forms appear as spellcasting of various sorts, and her sprites appear as demons. This is but one of her many forms, however, as she is prone to loading different persona presets to fool people into thinking she's someone else.
Jezebel primarily just uses her normal appearance as her persona.

Summary

Jezebel is a physical adept face who's not too bad with a handgun.

Alignment

Black Trenchcoat: Jezebel doesn't really care about what jobs she takes, as long as the money is good. She has limits, but they're currently unclear. Her tactical disposition is a preference for subterfuge.

Goals

  • Earn money for her family.
  • Get in good with the Mafia (as much as this is possible for her)

Background

Jezebel was born to a family of immigrants from the Italian Confederation who lived in Brooklyn. Brooklyn is a primarily Italian-American slum in the New York City sprawl, and contrary to popular belief, it's not Mafia-controlled. However, that didn't stop her from eventually finding herself in contact with with the Ciarniello Family, with whom she now has a basic business relationship. Traditionalist as the Ciarniellos are, they don't mind elves; Jezebel often faces sexist remarks, however, which is where her runner name comes from.

Jezebel's family are mostly wageslaves who want to earn an honest living. Where Jezebel differs is she doesn't believe the world is fair enough to reward honest work, and so she shouldn't play fair either. She periodically sends money home to her family, though they're not so strapped for cash they're dependent on her. Whether she succumbs to the vices of the criminal underworld or manages to turn a profit remains to be seen.

While Jezebel is a physical adept, her experiences with awakening and magical phenomena have largely been rationalized as a combination of psychological abnormalities, good confidence and hard work. Perhaps on some subconscious level she doesn't want to be awakened or doesn't believe she can be. Time will tell how her self-delusion keeps up.

Narrative Significant Qualities

  • Spirit Mentor: Seductress: Jezebel follows the way of Seductress, primarily focused on the manipulation of others through appearance and confidence rather than literal seduction (though that remains an option). Given her delusions of mundaneness, she rationalizes the influence of Seductress as being an internal monologue or, if visions of some sort come up, vivid hallucination. It also doesn't help that Seductress makes her more prone to give in to vices and temptations when she's involved with the criminal underworld.
