Character Information

Background

Akira was born to a pair of Oni based out of Yomi Island, who subsequently emigrated to CalFree as soon as they were able. Originally working under one of the Koborokuru lords of the island, Akira's parents worked very hard to instil in him a sense of honour and right and wrong.

Akira grew up with a little more money as his parents got relatively good jobs (his dad even started his own business that was promptly bought out by a larger corp) and gained an early interest in decking systems. His parents had taught him of the oppression that his people had suffered from Imperial Japan, and this only served to drive him to seek acceptance and a better life for himself and others like him. Even though things aren't as bad as they once were, he was exposed to a level of metaracism in CalFree, not least because of his unfair association with Imperial Japan (General Saito's regime is still fresh in the minds of everyone in San Fran, let's be honest).

Desperate to get himself a real SIN, but unable to really take a lot of the normal channels, Akira began decking hosts as soon as he had the hardware for it, and began leaving helpful tips for spiders to find...along with his CV. As you can probably imagine, that didn't exactly go well, and it led to his parents getting ventilated after Akira got Converged by GOD. Akira himself was very nearly killed as well. Striking out for the UCAS, he made contact with a fellow decker and fixer in the Metroplex named Marigold, and bought himself a damn Sneak program so that this hopefully won't happen again. Going under the runner name Whitehat (a nickname given to him as more of a tease than anything else by Marigold), he's still looking for that acceptance for himself and his people.

Whitehat still insists on leaving his icon all over everyone else's commlinks and hosts, hoping that eventually he'll get the friendly notice of someone in the infosec industry. He's very paranoid about being Converged again, and tends to be pretty meek and shy...insofar as an Oni can really fade into the background. In the meantime, running the shadows lets him really practice his craft, and fund his own little hobbies, like painting and acting. He's not very good yet and suffers from stage fright, but he's trying his best, honest!

In Character Information

Symbols and Signatures

Whitehat insists on leaving behind both his own Matrix icon, and an annotated list of vulnerabilities he found in your device or host. He phrases them in as friendly a way as possible, but it probably still comes across as really bloody annoying, especially if you just died because he broke your smart firing platforms. Asshole.

Appearance

Matrix Persona

Whitehat's Matrix Persona appears as a Red Samurai, as drawn in a kind of Genndy Tartakovsky art style. His attack programs look like various traditional Japanese weapons (Tanto, Katana, Yari etc.)
