Character Information

Summary

 Hot-headed and outgoing decker with an interest in vehicles. While a very skilled individual capable of doing things quietly when needed, his motto is to smash through problems when applicable, and thus is a specialist in attack-style decking, quickly taking over (or more often, bricking) enemy gear for his own uses. This head-space might also be the source of his interest in vehicles that resulted in him taking shop classes as electives during his time at Seattle Tech. Despite this recklessness, he never enjoyed the feeling of VR, tricking out his deck to get the most performance in AR; being turned into a vampire coincidentally improved both of these skills as he found himself with a better gut instinct and faster reaction times, or maybe the virus somehow 'knew' this was the best option?

Goals

• Prevent the world from taking more away from Bit, Camarilla, and himself
• Enjoy life to the fullest
• Break every barrier that stands between him and a better life for his entire household

Background

 Byte was a student at Seattle Tech living a pretty normal life, attending a similar program as his childhood friend Bit so they lived there together as dorm-mates.

Narrative Significant Qualities

Positive

• Infected: Vampire (Human)
  • "Yeah, I'm a fragging vampire, so what? I don't go flaunting it, but I won't apologize for it either, you're not gonna go running your mouth are you?"

• Deck Builder
  • "Every professional likes to make their own tweaks, and for me I like a responsive UI."

• Go Big Or Go Home
  • "HAHAHA! RECORD TIME BABY! ALL. YOUR. GEAR. BELONG. TO. ME. NOW."

Negative

• Addiction (Moderate) (Essence Glutton)
  • "I have room for a little more, I'm sure you won't mind if I help myself, right?"

• Big Regret (Ruining Bit's life)
  • "I couldn't help it! It wasn't me! ... But if it wasn't for me she'd be living a normal and happy life in her dream career. I'll probably always be making that one up to her."

• Driven (What happened to Bit?)
  • "Something happened, she's always been a recluse, but this is different, and she won't talk about it. I have to watch every day, as she seems so broken. I can only be there for her, I wish I could do more to help."

• Superhuman Psychosis
  • Being told he's a demon, seeing how the world sees his kind in media, and his daily experiences being outside the norm, Byte's mind embraced the dark aspects instead of letting the stress of his situation get him down. Now he finds comfort in the macabre aspects of his condition, and thus feels distant from non-infected humanity. A skilled decker could pique his interest due to profession, but meeting them in meatspace would shatter that instantly.

• Poor Self Control (Thrill Seeker)
  • "This baby sounds like a dream, we have to take her for a spin!" -Byte after his shop class finished a racing build for a car
  • "Why poke around hoping not to disturb anything, when we can smash the encryption and reboot and getaway? A lot faster, and a lot more fun." -Byte with Bit during a teamwork dataheist

• Down The Rabbit Hole
  • "What the frag did you expect? I'm a decker, we're the kind who are interested in new stuff all the time, its how we got into the profession!"
