Character Information

Summary

Personafix-addicted decker

Background

A former Shiawase corporate spider, FRAG had a bit too bit of an appetite for BTLs. Eventually his problem grew to the point where he couldn't hold down a job anymore, and FRAG had to turn to crime to make ends meet. Things worsened when his personafix abuse led to his original personality shattering completely. His dealer decided to take advantage of the situation and employ him as a shadowrunner.

Narrative Significant Qualities

• Blank Slate: FRAG has abused personafixes to the point where his original personality is all but gone. He feels naked without slotting some sort of personality, and he carries a few already.

In Play

First, a note on RP: FRAG abuses personafixes, which opens the door for a lot of flamboyant personalities. If you think of one you think would be fun or interesting, go for it! Just buy him a personafix chip, write a note on it with info similar to what's there in the existing personafixes.

FRAG is a very versatile decker. He has a good deck and all hacking programs so he can do pretty much any job in the matrix from searching to loud fights. He can also support meat combats with Kill Code matrix actions like I Am The Firewall and Calibration, or in a pinch huff some Jazz and pull his assault rifle.

When decking, take some psyche first - with Narco, it gives you +2 Logic and +2 Intuition. Remember that Codeslinger gives you a +2 to Hack on the Fly, and remember to take your free Matrix Perception, HotF, Brute Force or Dataspike from Instinctive Hack when physical or matrix combat starts!

You can use Perfect Time to swap Baby Monitor in, check your Overwatch Score, then swap it out again, so you don't need to run it constantly. Feel free to if you would rather have free actions, though.

Your Ocular Drone is well suited for meat recon. Remember that you can use Electronic Warfare in place of Perception when looking through sensors, and this includes cameras!

Here are some recommended deck setups for various situations with the base and final ASDF. Your Datajack+ gives you three extra program slots, which is why you can run six. You have 5 built in Noise Reduction from your antennae and datajack.

Combat

Programs: Fork, Hammer, Decryption, Encryption, Smoke and Mirrors 5, Biofeedback/Blackout/Tantrum (depending on how nice the personafix is), Wildcard Slot (Lockdown by default, Mugger if you can set up marks beforehand, Signal Scrub if you need extra NR, whatever you might need for the job otherwise)

A 6(7) - S 5(10) - D 5 - F 3(4)

The general idea here is to spank from the shadows with Forked 9 base damage spikes until you get seen. Once you are spotted by someone, swap around F and S to get Firewall up to 6. If you are spotted by everyone, consider swapping Smoke and Mirrors for Armor/Biofeedback Filter depending on whats being thrown at you. Remember, always keep Ondans(e)tron in your auto-injector while decking in case someone throws Tantrum at you!

If you're feeling saucy, Perfect Time and Quick Config lets you spend most of your time in a turtle-y configuration, but swap in some programs that hurt and a high Attack attribute to dataspike before going back to turtling, but this is optional if you don't feel like tracking the micro.

Sleaze

Programs: Smoke and Mirrors 5, Stealth, Exploit, Toolbox, Two Wildcard slots.

A 3 - S 6(12) - D 5(6) - F 5

Bear in mind that your limit is actually 14 for Hack on the Fly, thanks to Exploit.

The wild card slots are for things like Browse when looking for things in the host, Edit when editing files, Defuse when disarming databombs, Wrapper if you need it in the host, et cetera. Or Baby Monitor, if you want to run it constantly.

Day Carry

Programs: Browse, Toolbox, Encryption, three wildcard slots

A 3 - S 5 - D 5(6) - F 6(7)

Honestly there aren't a lot of programs that are necessary to run while walking around day-to-day. You want high Firewall to protect your PAN and high data proc for initiative and searches, though while searching you should probably swap those around. I don't know, I ain't a cop.

Appearance

Short-ish asian man. When not slotting a personafix, FRAG is demure and nervous. He stammers, and is prone to comforting behaviors (hugging himself, the fetal position, et cetera.)

Clothing

Short sleeved shirt and vest (Berwick+Argentum)

Matrix Persona

When he, god forbid, decks without slotting a personachip, he looks like a vaguely humanoid multi-faceted crystal. In each facet can be seen a different personachip that FRAG has slotted through the years.
