Out of Character Information

Currently, I'm trying to go full human with this character and I know it's 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 thinks I should put the names of stuff in it let me know I'll add it back.

I'm thinking maybe for drama it would be a big thing for him to get any cyberware or Bioware later on. I can only image how awesome it will be once the character gets his first data jack.

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 Yamatetsu. Parents worked as high level genetic researchers for the corporation. When his parents became pregnant with him they were overjoyed and did everything they could to find out if he would be born a healthy child. To their surprise, once he was born rather than being an elf, like them he was born human. This raised so many questions for them and they used their skills to find out why he was born human and in their research, they found that he carried with him the genetic code that made elves nigh immortal. To protect him from prying eyes they dressed him as an elf as a baby but before they could do any more research into what was going on with him they were scooped up by Japanese Imperial State. JIS imprisoned his parents both for being elves at Yomi island. Knowing that if anyone found out that two elves had a baby it would rise to many questions and if the JIS took any blood samples they would quickly figure out what they found and turn their son into a test subject. Lucky for them before they were taken by the JIS they were close friends with a shadowrunner in Seattle named Villi. Using what they had on hand on the island they were able to sneak out a message to their friend begging them to not save themselves but their child. It was not long till they got their answer in the form of Villi leading a small team of runners into Yomi island to start a prison riot to try and extract his friends and their child. Villi for an elf is very well built and moves like a ninja. During the riot, his team was able to get Alexander but the Japanese Imperial Machines made it almost impossible to get his family out.

Taking the baby Villi and his team fled the island as the Japanese imperial machines took the prison under control. He fled back to his home city with the baby in his arms. No one else to raise the child of their friend and seeing as he was the boy’s god-father he did what he could to raise Alexander on the streets of Seattle. As the boy grew up he showed great aptitude for computers and it was not long before he was breaking into various systems for fun on the street and hangout with other local street kids. Even with Villi being a runner it was hard to bring home enough food and resources for them both but they survived. Alexander from a young age did not understand why he always fled better when he dressed as an elf but Villi knew it was because the boy unknowingly was remembering his parents. As Alexander got older Villi taught the boy what he knew how to survive in the streets. Being sinless he got him what education he could from local schools in the slums but he also taught him shadowrunner skills. Alexander quickly picked up on using the spare battle rifle that Villi had a Cavalier Arms Crockett EBR. Villi knowing the boy's mind for tech got his team's decker known as Override. Where Villi is a Japanese elf his partner Override was Native American ork from the streets of New York. Override taught the boy how to take his hacking to the next level. After learning what he could from Villi Alexander at the age of 16 tried making it on his own on the streets but still feeling like something was missing something important to his life. Alex figures out that it is the fact that he needed to know who his parents where. Villi tried many times over the years to get rid of that need Alexander had to but all it did was make the fire stronger. Villi seeing that that fire would not go out he told Alexander about his parents and now Alexander knows what he as to do. He has to find his parents on Yomi island and extract them.

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. Alexander made friends and took a job to help him make some money. Using his knowledge of the matrix he got a job as a spider for a small news outfit called shadow eye. He helps them protect their system while they investigate various news stories to bring the truth to Seattle. Alexander got his fox when he found her hurt on the street and has raised her ever since.

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.

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.
