Out of Character Information

Currently, i'm trying to go full human with this character and I know its gonna be hard but I hope any GM out there will enjoy the character.

I also did not know how in-depth I should go with the character background so I tried to keep it short without names of stuff in it. If anyone think I should put the names of stuff in it let me know I'll add it back.

Summary

Pure human decker no augmentations, magic or drugs. He's a human born to a distinguished elf family. Once he ended up the streets he used his computer skills to survive when he came to the attention of a shadowrunner named Villi. Villi taught Alex how to crack the matrix and become a proper decker. Now he is just starting his shadowrunning career with the help of a close friend who is now a fixer and a bar owner.

Background

Alexander was born the firstborn son of two elves from rival corporations Mitsuhama Computer Technologies and Yamatetsu. His family for a long time has been nothing but elves for a very long time and due to the history of his family being imprisoned on Yomi island, they gained resentment of humans during their impressment. Alexanders ancestors using a combination of magic and skill staged a revolt to try and escape their imprisonment. His ancestors were able to hold the prison for 7 days. This gained them the attention of the Tir who sent black ops forces to liberate as many of these imprisoned elves as possible before Japanese forces were sent to retake the prison. Taken from Japan into the Tir they brought many Japanese traditions with them and did not just survive but thrived in the Tir. His family’s numbers swelled in the Tir as they began to make a name for themselves and many of his family members made it into important prominent positions within the Tir. becoming a lineage of distingue elves, it was more than a shock when Alexander was born a human. Feeling shame as to what he was his parents forced him to act and dress like an elf at all times because bioscuplting was not an option for him but even though he did not look like an elf, doctors let his parents known he would have the lifespan of one. He became so good at acting like an elf that most never noticed but his parents knew and resented him for it. Over the years he became skilled with computers and got an internship with Neo net is get him out of his parent’s hair. They sent him out of the Tir and that’s when the crap hit the fan when all the chaos started with Neonet. It ultimately leads to his Sin getting erased and he was forced out into the streets.

When he could make it back home his parents told him to leave and go and they would not help him get his sin back that they could not have a human in the family. The only one who took pity on him was his grandmother. Even though he was born human his grandmother is the only one in the family who did not care. She could not take him in but told him that even as a human their families blood was in him which made him strong. Going to a nearby lockbox she gave him something she kept from her time when she was a little girl on Yomi island. She gave him a smooth volcanic rock she kept on it was their family seal and some cash he ended up in Seattle where he ended up using a few of his computer skills to help him make a bit of cash. Alex spent years trying to get his sin back but no matter what he did his sin keeps getting erased by some unknown and strange glitch the matrix. Soon he was soon helped out by a runner known as Villi he saw the Alex had some skills with a computer using what he knew to steal from vending machines and scam some nuyen from people when he could but the real reason he sought out Alex was because of a call from his grandmother.Unknown to Alex, Villi was sent to just make sure the boy did not die before he could get on his feet and taught him how to use his computer skills to crack the matrix once it got updated. Villi never took Alex on runs with him but did let him do some of the lighter work for nuyen to get his feet wet and let him learn how runners work.

A few years pass with him doing work for Villi. It got him a few friends one of his closets is known as Mary R. Witcher a Fixer who took a liking to Alex after he kept hanging around the bar left to her by her father after he passed. What clinched the two being friends was when a local gang took interest in the bar and started harassing Mary and her patrons for protection money. Alex heard about what was going o and used his decking skills to make a bit of trouble for the gang known as the Mining crew. Gang member what do they know about the world other then what they can see. Every single one of them carried a shiny new commlink. It did not take long for Alex to get into their systems and monitor all of their communications. Using what he collected he put together enough evidence to send all the gang members to jail. Alex told Mary she would not have to worry about them anymore. Now Mary has grown into a full fixer for local runners setting up jobs for local runners and Alex. When the matrix updated Alex happened to end up on a B&E job where he found a cyberdeck. Lucky for him it had no owner so he snapped it up quickly and has been running with it ever since. Even now away from his family, Alex keeps up dressing like an elf putting on the ears because without them he feels wrong due to how ingrained it is in him to put them on. Now he's driven to make a name for himself in the shadows to make enough money to show his family that even without being an elf he can still become great in the hopes maybe they will take him back.

Allies

Mary R. Witcher: She's an elf in her early 30s who runs a bar called the wanderer and took a liking to Alex after he helped her out with a problem she was having. In the last few years, she becomes a fixer in the area and started helping Alex find a few jobs for a cut of the money and other services from him. Mary stands taller than most women you meet at around 6'6 and is well toned from all the work she does around the bar but oddly soft hands still maybe it's an elf thing. What most people first notice about her is an insane bust most people think their fake but quick check in the astral and you quickly figure out she's all natural well other than the sleep regulator she got installed a few years back. Other than that she keeps her body pure elf. She says it helps her adept abilities come through smoother.

Villi: Villi's a runner who taught Archivist what he knows about decking in the new matrix. Guys a ghost when he does not wanna be found he vanishes for days at a time to just reappear just to check up on Alex. He's a bland looking muscular Japanese male. He carries a sword on him and his cyberdeck at almost all times, well at least every time Alex see's him. Most people think he's cold as ice but Alex has been around long enough with him to see he's not really cold just serious because when he's not he worries people around him are gonna die. The only time you really see the guy open up is when he takes him drinking. Once drunk he gets a bit of a smile on his face. From what Alex understands Villi is married to two people it seems. Ones an Ork by the name of Grace, Grace is a sweet woman who just so happens to be into drone combat sports way too much. The other is a quite human who only likes to be Ve.She mostly sits and paints. Her paintings are quite how do I put this haunting.

Character Information

At Home:

►When Archivist is not working he spends a lot of time in his house out in Snohomish. He got his hands on the house for cheap thanks to his fixer after he helped her out with that local gang. Now hes renting out a 3-floor house (Basement, First and Second Floor). His house has a lot of tech just laying around as he works on stuff. His room has a huge digital library. When he does not go out he spends time with his fox Miyuki. Miyuki has a small area to herself under the steps going up to the second floor. She sits in his lap as he goes on the matrix.

Hangouts:

►The Wander: Archivist likes to hang out at his fixer/friend bar known as Wanders. Mary R. Witcher got the bar after her old man went missing and never showed up again. Lonestar declared him dead. You would think Lonestar would have done more for one of their own but nothing. She changed it a bit making it more matrix friend. Something her father forgot to do but it still has its rustic charm. Over the bar sits a custom Winchester Model 2066. Archivist helped her set up all the matrix stuff in her bar and now a small second is set up for matrix users to come get a drink and lounge. The basement of the place has private rooms for meetings that were created back when prohibition was around. Her father kept them up and now she uses them when she is setting up various job. Archivist likes to over in the matrix area of the bar messing around the matrix having a soykaf even when there is perfectly good beer around.

►Broken Boards: This is a pure matrix hang out that Archivist likes to go to in person or the matrix when he has time. The place was set up by a bunch of deckers who bought an abandoned hospital and renovated it turning into a deckers paradise. Various rooms set up for things deckers love doing. Hacking, Building and Drinking. He's made a few friends their mostly a decker by the name of Bug. Bugs a strange dwarf born with gigantism. Cool guy but believes aliens are invading the world.

Hobbies:

Archivist enjoys listening to various pirate radio stations. One lately has caught his ear The Neo Anarchist Radio show. When he's not listening to the radio he enjoys reading various books on Japanese and elven history. He also plays the Violin when he has time. He plays for his fox who seems to joy it.
