Background

Better To Be Lucky Than Good

Blake spent his childhood running the streets with a band of urchins. Though, truth be told, he was always a hairsbreadth from being abandoned by them too; he had no common sense and kept getting himself into trouble and causing problems for the group.

But Blake always had the devil's luck. No matter the degree of shit he found himself in, things would work out in the end

One particularly terrible decision to deface a local gang's graffiti signature, instead of being life ending, became life changing. The orc who would become Blake's father figure happened upon the fracas and intervened, saving his life.

The ork was Onosuke Takeshi, a former Ares Arms corpo army sharpshooter/adept, Shadowrunner, and co-owner of a cybertech clinic (with his wife Onosuke Tsubaki; cybertech surgeon)

Blake was one of a rare few who didn't react negatively to Takeshi's heavily cyberized face (the guy was basically just cyberware and teeth from the neck up, courtesy of an enemy counter sniper), and after a short debate on whether it was better to be lucky or skilled, Takeshi took the boy in. Blake was 8 at the time.

Training Montage

Blake basically grew up training to be a Shadowrunner; Takeshi taught Blake long range shooting, Tsubaki fostered his interest in cyberware and programming. He was competing and winning marksmanship tournaments by his early teens and used the prize money to buy his first cyberdeck and was dropping his Signature image in people's root directories before the end of the month.

In his mid teens, Blake developed his programming prowess to the point where he essentially created a virus out of his signature image. It would send itself to one comlink contacts per day and it would ultimately move itself into the root directory of any device it was sent to.

While it was ultimately just a vanity project with a fairly benign function, the mechanism by which it obtained the root permissions of the device was fairly sophisticated; as was the way the code was protected from reverse engineering.

A Little Short For A Shadowrunner

By his late teens he was casually browsing Shadowsea on his father's account, and came across a post of his signature image, that came with a job offer. At this point Blake was very familiar with the dangers of shadowrunning and fessed up to what was going on to his parents. They were oddly proud of his dubious achievement and said he should reach out and, assuming there wasn't undue risk, accept the job.

Said job was posted by a local Robinhood named Bismarc, who was putting together a team to take down a gangster who was getting a bit too heavyhanded with his protection schemes. Calling it a Shadowrun was being very generous. The average Shadowrunner could have Hammered this guy flat in a blink. But who has that kind of money? Certainly not your local Robinhood.

Blake's job was to hack into the guy's comm and plant texts that made it look like he had turned states witness

Narrative Significant Qualities

Positive

Codeslinger(Hack on the Fly)

On top of his marksmanship training, Blake learned a great deal about stealth, infiltration and the benefits of being prepared from Takeshi. This mindset translated into his hacking; prioritizing stealth, finesse and alertness in his hacking practices

Negative

Signature

Blake's signature is a hand-turkey. In his old neighborhood some no-name gang lived in the area, whose "thing" was to spraypaint sillhouetts of their hands on everything. Blake thought it would be funny to deface their signature by taking a grease pen and turning the hand into a hand-turkey. They caught him in the act and were beating the tar out of him when the orc who would become his father figure rescued him.

Needless to say the image stuck

Dishevelled

It's probably all the late night coding he does, but for whatever reason, Blake can never get rid of the bags under his eyes or make his hair take a reasonable shape. Eventually decided it was better to just wear a hooded cloak and a mask everywhere.
