Character Information
Summary
Victor Grey or Grasshopper is a Seattle born rigger. His specialities are vehicular stealth and operation of surveillance equipment as well as precision shooting in a combat situation. He also has high levels of knowledge about law and business with an interest in civil engineering.
Goals
Grasshopper aims to make it rich while hoping to get one over the corps along the way. Beyond this he's working on his collection of vehicles and drones believing a versatile stable is important to his success.
His current long term goal is getting hold of an Ares Venture having aquired a lead from the IRS
Background
Born with a weak immune system grasshopper was never one for physical activities preferring instead to read and learn. Growing up grasshopper's parent had enough funds to send him to a decent school and eventually a university. During his time there he studied engineering and law with the aim of starting his own business a goal he eventually succeeded at though his dreams soon turned sour. His attempts to operate as a legitimate if small firm were stymied with corruption and other issues at every turn till he gave up and sold off his remaining assets to buy his first control rig. Since then he's preferred the company of his machines reliable in a way he found people often weren't. Holding somewhat of a grudge against the corporate world he found a natural home in shadow running relishing the chance to push his mind and his skills. Over time he's developed a fascination with physical adepts and the marvels they can perform with their bodies in contrast to his own weakened form this has been spurred on by the ongoing physical limitations he suffers due to exposure to a corporate bioweapon during one of his first runs.
Narrative Significant Qualities
Positive
Strive for perfection: In his obsession with Adepts Grasshopper no longer considers mere shooting enough instead striving to push his skill (and targeting systems) as far as he can. Aircraft pilot/subtle pilot: With his weak body Grasshopper revels in the freedom flight allows.
Negative
Infirm/reduced smell/unsteady hands: Due to exposure to a Corp bioweapon on a run gone wrong his bodies been forever crippled and the old pains still haunt him driving a particular distaste for the use of poisons. When stressed old symptoms will often begin to remerge the nerve damage playing havoc with his coordination.
