Character Information
Summary
An improperly deprogramed sleeper agent seeks answers to his origins. He has few clues aside from a mysterious fixer known only as Mr. Yesterday. With skills in deception, social camouflage, and sniping, he makes a potent assassin, a workable face, and a proficient street sam if need be. Just...try and make sure he doesn't slip into old Caleb while on a run. Things tend to get interesting fast when your calm, levelheaded sniper suddenly turns into a French janitor fretting over all the broken glass.
Goals
To discover who he really is (literally), and how does Mr. Yesterday fit into it?
Background
Janus is confused. At night he remembers different names, places, people. Himself but not him. He has yet to meet himself, or perhaps he has but has yet to recognize it. They gave him orders, lies to become and lives to end until one day he found himself outside a teashop without really knowing why. Inside he found a man calling himself Mr. Yesterday. Mr. Yesterday gave me new papers, a pair of fake SINs and called me by a name I remembered. Gabriele Heller. Now I have to piece together where he ends and the lies begin. Who did I work for? What did they have me do? All I know is I can't leave someone behind. It's like something in my soul won't let me leave them behind. Janus will have his answers. I will take the mask off eventually. Until then...I don't know who I am, so I'll continue to live the lie. Sometimes someone else comes to the fore, a different lie or maybe my real self?

Incomplete Programming

Appearance
Janus has as many appearances as there are clouds in the sky. If viewed without his skintoner, smart wig, synthskin mask, and any other nonsense he constantly wears, one would see a sallow, bald, and pale elf with ears possessing only the slightest point to them.
Clothing
Nondescript outfits, whatever best fits in. When on the streets, prefers to wear a custom-tailored Mortimer of London suit with a fashion gasmask and additional padding on the legs. He is never far from his squat, unassuming brief case.
Matrix Persona
Janus makes use of the default persona one is initially assigned when entering the matrix for the very first time. Needless to say, this makes him stick out more than any other possible Persona he could pick. He simply goes by the handle "Username". He doesn't spend much time on the matrix. Or around computers really.
Media Mentions
None as of yet.
