Character Information
Summary
Fatima Kumar is a dead woman walking, a cheap designer baby whose body is slowly falling apart. In order to live she requires constant support from in-built cybernetics, along with frequent doses of a fiendishly expensive drug. Even still, her life expectancy is measured in single digits. When she was younger she was something of a star, an academic whiz-kid thriving in the face of adversity. Now she's the definition of a burnout. With no scholarship, no job, and a monstrously expensive illness, she's forced to risk what's left of her life playing doctor for groups of criminal psychopaths. Or, as her fixer calls it, shadowrunning. If she'd known this would happen she would've majored in English.
Goals
- Finally get that stupid doctorate
- Get a super cushy research job
- Eventually find a way to heal her body
Background
In the sixth world, designer babies are a common enough thing. Plenty of people above a certain class has some level of genetic alteration, some tweak of appearance to make them more appealing to their parents.
Narrative Significant Qualities
Positive
- Prototype Transhuman - Heartbreak was, quite literally, bred to be a genius, with specially cultivated bioware to enhance her neural processes. These augmentations also allow her to interface with machines through touch, by way of a knockoff MCT biolink.
- Smart Cookie (Analytical Mind, College Education, Speed Reading, Photographic Memory): Genetics mean nothing if you don't put in the work, and Heartbreak's done nothing but. She is academically brilliant at the cost of everything else.
- Subtle Pilot - During her stint as a child star, she got pretty good at hiding from reporters.
- Insured - Not strictly a mechanical quality, but it is worth mentioning that Heartbreak subscribes to DocWagon gold. Better safe than sorry!
Negative
- Held Together with Hope (Infirm 2, Mild Allergy (Soy), Asthma): To put it bluntly, Heartbreak has the constitution of a Mayfly. To put it more bluntly, if she is not on constant life support she will die within the hour. Her cybernetics and chair do a good job of keeping her alive, but god help her if she ever gets hit with an EMP.
- Pretentious (PSC Attention Seeking, DYJCMD): There is no such thing as a well adjusted child star, much less one who was constantly praised as a genius. Heartbreak both resents those around her and constantly seeks their approval.
- SINner (UCAS): She's working on getting that corpo SIN, okay?

| Extremely in debt | Heartbreak owes, at a minimum, hundreds of thousands of nuyen to various hospitals and schools. She's given up hope of ever paying them off, but if the chance to do so arises, she'd do just about anything for it. | |
