=Character Information=
===Summary===
A technomancer and a technological prodigy from an early age, Vip3r has been at home in the Matrix since long before she emerged. She's a skilled hacker and street survivalist, and isn't bad at talking her way out of trouble either.
==Background==
Vip3r taught herself to hack for fun and survival as a juvenile delinquent on the streets of the Redmond Barrens. She was adopted as a teenager by Ken and Laura Tanaka, a pair of middle-class MCT citizens who put her through high school, where she proved to be such a skilled learner that she was handed a corporate scholarship that would ''almost'' cover a college education and give her a direct pipeline to a stable career. In a desperate attempt to cover the rest, Vip3r took a shadowrun that ended in disaster, earning her eight years in Shadow Lake Correctional Facility at the age of seventeen. Four years in, she was offered a deal that would shave two years off of her sentence. It was framed as a work opportunity, but instead, it made her a lab rat in an intense and dubiously-ethical technomancer research operation by MCT.
MCT turns Vip3r loose two years later after the Tanakas signed over their freedom on her behalf, putting her back on the street with no family, no contacts, and not-insignificant neurological damage that rendered her unable to hold a regular job or schedule.
With a criminal SIN and nowhere else to turn for income, she began taking small-time hacking jobs again. As she did, people began to notice her skill, and Vip3r eventually attracted the attention of the Eighty-Eights Triad. They offered to burn her criminal SIN and set her up with a fake if she agreed to work for them in exchange, and in no position to refuse, Vip3r accepted.
==Goals==
* Extract her father, Ken Tanaka, from his lifelong contract with MCT.
* Establish a network with other technomancers, and determine how to use her ability and position to make the world a better place for others like her.
==Narrative Significant Qualities==
===Positive===
*'''Social Infiltrator:''' (Alibi + First Impression + Honest Face)
Having had to adapt to many different living situations over the course of her life has taught Vip3r how to look like she belongs almost anywhere.
*'''Paragon (01):''' At [[Betz]]'s suggestion, Vip3r has sought communion with 01 out of a desire for a deeper understanding of the Resonance and a meaningful connection to other technomancers.
*'''Resonant Stream: Sourceror:''' Having always been heavily reliant on her own ability, Vip3r has chosen to focus on her own skill with complex forms rather than depending on the use of sprites.
*'''School of Hard Knocks:''' Vip3r spent most of her childhood learning to survive on the streets of the Redmond Barrens. Navigating urban life is in her nature.
*'''Sensei:''' [[Betz]] has become a mentor and a source of support for Vip3r. She works with her to help hone her Cracking skills, and to teach her more about what it means to be emerged.
===Negative===
* '''Drug-Dependent:''' (Wired User + Mild Addictions to Psyche & Novacoke)
Using performance-enhancing drugs a little ''too'' frequently has made Vip3r reliant on them.
*'''Snake Queen of the Resonance:''' (Distinctive Style + Unique Avatar)
''Vip3r'' is more than just a name; it's an ''identity.'' Snake tattoos, snakebite piercings, fangs and a split tongue, and a custom-crafted anthropomorphic snake Matrix persona make that identity ''unmistakable.''
*'''Driven:''' When they found out about her captivity in a Mitsuhama black site, Vip3r's adoptive parents gave up their freedom to trade it for hers. She is determined to repay their favor. So far, she's managed to extract her mother, but getting her father out of his contract and on-site employee housing in a newly-constructed Zero Zone she's discovered in Auburn is going to prove far more difficult.

===Organizations===
*'''[[Eighty-Eights Triad]]:''' Despite turning down official membership in the Triad, Vip3r will not work against the Eighty-Eights as a result of the assistance they offered her when she was in need.
* +10 '''[[Mothers of Metahumans]]''' rep and +10 '''[[Skraacha]]''' rep for breaking [[Kenneth "Flamesaw" Murphy]] out of prison.
* -70 Tamanous rep, +10 Black Lodge rep, and +5 Starscreamers rep for destroying Tamanous's largest organ farm in Seattle.
* +13 Cross Applied Technologies rep, -5 Federated Boeing rep for working for Cecelia Cross and burning Brodie J's house down.
* -40 [[Mitsuhama Computer Technologies]] rep for killing four Petrovski Security personnel and kidnapping one of their HR executives
<!-- See: Template:GroupContactTable for the group contact template. -->
===Allies===
* [[Harebuck]] & [[Absolute Zero]]: Vip3r's best friends and roommates. Harebuck introduced her to the Haven, and she met Zero while living in San Francisco.
* [[Black Samurai]]: Vip3r's cousin, whom she only met recently as a result of having been cut off from her blood family.
* [[Shine]] & [[Zenith]]: Fellow runners who know Vip3r's history and secrets. She considers them a part of her chosen family, along with the above.
===Enemies===
* '''[[Mitsuhama Computer Technologies]]:''' You read the above information, right? Vip3r has plenty of reason to hate and fear MCT, and is bent on revenge after a year spent avoiding them at all costs.
* '''[[Kakei Steve|Steven Shimada]]:''' In [[Family, Duty, Honor]], Vip3r received a call from Steve in which he addressed her by her birth name and revealed personal information about her family that even she wasn't aware of. She independently discovered his ties to MCT, and [[Shine]] convinced her to have him killed. Then, in [[Cultivation Crisis]], she learned that he signed off on the contract that put the Tanakas under lifelong MCT control, and ''also'' withheld a letter from her mother that would've shown her that she hadn't been abandoned during her time in lockup. She was determined to have him killed and even [[A Nest of Vipers|made plans to do so]], but abandoned her plans when she realized he had no clear intent to turn her in to MCT and had been delaying the Tanakas' transfer to a newly-constructed Zero Zone. She still hates and distrusts him, however, and is unlikely to trust anyone who associates with him.
* '''Unnamed Renraku Spider:''' In [[A Steller Discovery]], Vip3r engaged in a heated Matrix battle with a Renraku decker with a cyber-ninja persona who was part of a team sent to retrieve a chunk of Halley's comet. She dodged a series of link-lock-biofeedback-dataspikes and insulted him by forcing him to jack out. He's, uh, ''not happy'' about that encounter, and if Vip3r runs against him again, he'll probably be less than thrilled to see her massive iridescent snersona (snake persona) on the Matrix.
=In Character Information=
==Symbols and Signatures==
As her name would suggest, Vip3r is committed to a snake motif and specifically incorporates African bush vipers into her design. There's no particular symbolism to them; Vip3r just thinks they look cool. Multiple snake tattoos are visible on her forearms and neck, her Matrix persona is an anthropomorphic snake, and her marks look like snakebites. 
==Matrix Search Table==
{{SearchTable|
|LowResult=Do you know how many users on the Matrix have some variation of "Vip3r" as part of their names? You're gonna have to look a little harder if you want anything specific.
|MidResult=A user named "Vip3r" seems to frequent various message boards about current events, technology, and a Matrix game called Plaguehunter. She seems to have a lot of helpful tips about boss attack patterns.
|HighResult="Vip3r" also appears to spend a lot of time on some secure hacker boards. Whenever controversy around technomancers comes up, she seems pretty quick to defend them.

|MidThreshold=3
|MidResult=Vip3r is a Shadowhaven runner and an Eighty-Eights Triad affiliate.

|Vip3r's datajack is deltaware, and she has delta-grade implants and cybernetic systems installed in her brain and spinal cord (Visualizer, EARRS). Delta-grade bioware boosts her cognitive function and toxin filtration (cerebral booster, mnemonic enhancer, nephritic screen), and she is genetically enhanced for a greater resistance to negative drug effects & better highs as well as faster and more efficient neurotransmission. The spark of Resonance in her aura marks her as a technomancer.

==Appearance==
Standing at 5'7" (170cm), Vip3r is a Japanese elf woman with a short undercut, snakebite piercings, and visible snake tattoos (which, specifically, are African bush vipers) on her forearms and neck.
===Clothing===
Vip3r dresses for utility and comfort, typically in a street-punk style, favoring blacks and greys with accents in purples or teals. She frequently does her shadowrunning in an armored synthleather jacket, grey with a high collar and plenty of pockets on the inside and out. For jobs with higher-end clients, she has an Executive Suite suit in dark grey, accented in light blue.
===Matrix Persona===
She switches between two Matrix personas, depending on what image she wants to convey. The first, and more "professional" of the two, is a stylized version of her actual appearance, standing slightly taller than her natural height and wearing a long snakeskin coat. The other, which she prefers and which sees more frequent use, is an anthropomorphic snake modelled after an African bush viper, with iridescent dark-purple scales.
