Tanuki, as he calls himself, is a rigger that seems to interact with the outside world jacked into his drones. The few things others have gotten from him are the following: human, male in his late teens to early twenties, living in Seattle--either unable or unwilling to leave the place where he lives except jacked into one of his drones.
<p>Hydra had your fairly typical childhood, school and playtime with friends afterward while waiting for her parents. Of course, things change quickly when KE hits the wrong house, and drags everyone in it back to the station on trumped up charges. Thankfully at that point, she was young enough to avoid charges, but something changed in her that night.
</p><p>She wound up hanging with the wrong crowd, picking fights wherever she thought she could get away with it. Sometimes she won, sometimes she lost, but she always fought. Some might say it was her way of rebelling against authority, for the injustice that happened to her as a child. Others, that she just had a bad attitude, but regardless, she grew up hard and strong in the Underground. Years later, she got her inheritance, and pretty much immediately spent every nuyen of it on augments for herself and a couple of guns from some people she knew on the Black Market, in the hopes of starting to run in the shadows, and maybe make some real Nuyen.

Tanuki
Human Rigger
"You're wondering why I'm talking to you in a drone? Maybe I'm a the Sixth World version of a prince turned into a Japanese Raccoon Dog robo."
Tanuki, as he calls himself, is a rigger that seems to interact with the outside world jacked into his drones. The few things others have gotten from him are the following: human, male in his late teens to early twenties, living in Seattle--either unable or unwilling to leave the place where he lives except jacked into one of his drones.
When he is forced to leave, he is dressed in a Urban Explorer Jumpsuit, with a helmet shaped like a smiling racoon dog face.
Goals
Character spoilers past this point.
In order of importance to him:
To be able to go out in the sun, and experience things not through a robot.
To drive the Triad out of Seattle.
To be known as a prime rigger of his peers.
To be able to have a boyfriend.
Background
Roughly 18 years ago, a pair of lawyers fighting for metahumans in Japan were 'encouraged' from a number of sources, including the Imperial government and the local Yakuza gangs, to leave the country..Since she was heavily pregnant with their son, they did flee; to Seattle and the UCAS, hopefully to continue their fight for the right of all metahumans, and raise their child in a safe place.
Born in Seattle to two metahuman rights lawyers, Tanuki, was always the sickly, small, child of his peers. He was always seemingly sick; and forced, eventually, a very young age to remain home once it was realized he had a severe, incurable sunlight allergy. Things became difficult for the family when Toshi's father. Hiro, was killed by the local Triad when he was working with the courts for ork rights in the slums, where the Triad had been ensuring the 'protection' of the area. Tanuki was 7. Soon after, Tanuki's mother dropped the case against the Triad responsible for her husband's death, fearing for her son's life in continued retribution with the syndicate. She never told her son that she knew very well what happened the night her husband did not come home. It was an easy thing to hide; for most of the day, the boy was left inside, only able to interact with people outside of the Matrix when they would come over; usually his parent's clients over the years. It gave Tanuki a rather balanced view on metahumanity, and also an interest in various languages out of boredom.
Over a year ago, with the help of his best friend, a troll with the runner name Boned, he, in the dead of night and very carefully, moved out of his mother's house; knowing that if he didn't leave he never would, and having found out, from some research about one of the Seattle Triads killing his father. Since then, he and Boned have more or less operated in the area--getting jobs, maintaining their lifestyles and in general, done whatever it takes to remain competitive. Eventually, Tanuki got well enough known and well connected enough to get on the Haven.
He currently lives above Al's Garage in Bellevue with one of his boyfriends; Rambozo, because there is always an Al's Garage everywhere you want to be. Under his fake SIN, Brian Chin, he currently coordinates the motor pool for Solace.
