Overview

Shi Hakase is an artificial entity that has dedicated a large percentage of their computational ability on the understandings of Mana, Essence and the Metahuman body. As a matrix bound entity, Shi understand their situation is tied to a facility beyond their internal reach - and queries if the same link is apparent with "Living" creatures to a increased plane. The science is still new, though Shi aims to gain a increased understanding of the universe they inhabit, with a large facet of this on specifically "Entities" of a similar physical state that they could possibly inhabit with enough development in system miniaturizations (CFD is a foregone conclusion to their desires).

Shi inhabits an abandoned facility in #### and controls multiple autodoc stations located around Seattle. The main facility they utilize is a compound for their sole AI frame, and a base station for further experimentations into life alerting compounds, (whether said components reduce lifespan or increase it) - which is used to rig in with multiple antiquated drone bodies - many pre-((NANO-MACHINE CRISIS - SR4/5?)).

Brainstorm

A I that uses a broken body

Obsessive on experimenting and learning the anatomy of various creatures to expand/cross reference its sources. This is its main priority, and it rarely deviates from this.

In lay with the obsessive experimentation, they have many contacts for higher end gear and premium prices.

Aspects Description

Aspect	Description
Uncanny Existence	Like many things, Shi is not quiet understood by many of its contacts. Inhabiting what is best described as a rotting metal carcass, with the social latency of a Monad, with most sapients only interacting through necessity rather than by choice. {Cannot be used for networking checks. At GMs discretion, penalties to both KNOW/GEAR checks can be enacted due to the abnormalities in its existence/lifestyle.}
Above Aspect pending approval. Please notify Thematics.
Not Enough Hands	Shi is always busy on either their own experiments, or pre-paid assignments from a wide array of less-legitimate clients. As such, free time for runners is a premium, and if help is offered, it usually has a additional cost. {Roll loyalty at a threshold of 3(2 if in person) to see if Shi is currently assigned to a clients task. A increased threshold at the GMs discretion can be chosen alongside to see if Shi requires additional aid/resources to offer their assistance.}
Above Aspect pending approval. Please notify Thematics.
Street "Hakase"	Shi practices medicine on both the living or dead, they find it funny how things twitch - like a person may find the insides of a clock to be interesting. [Doctor]
(UR) Unrestricted Research	Shi doesn't care for flimsy ethical concerns - and as such is known for exporting/importing unique pieces of data from a few very private hosts. [+2 on knowledge checks on government/corporate medical experiments]
(AP) Awakened Projects	Shi prioritizes the one percent of entities for their endeavors - due to acquisitions of willing subjects seeking cheap medical care - Shi has successfully amassed "cadavers" to experiment on. [+2 on Active checks awakened/surged/shifter biologies]
(ME) Mechanic Expansion	Shi works with augmented bodies on a regular basis, and alongside their understanding of anatomy - they have learned for mechanical techniques for cyberware, and enhanced techniques for working with bioware restructuring. [+2 on Active checks wared individuals]
(SAAC) Standardized Augmentation Acquisition Contracts	Shi has multiple contracts specialized in the acquisitions of wares on a regular basis. [+2 to checks involving augmentation.]
(UNA) Unsanctioned Nanoware Applications	Shi either doesn't realize, or doesn't care about the possible repercussions of unaudited Nanoware applications. And as such, has a easier time retrofitting/modifying metallic wares. [+2 to checks involving Cyber/Nanoware.]
(PGR) Prototype Gear Relocation	Shi does waste time with antiquated tech - and as such, only specializes in the acquisition of Beta/Deltaware. [+2 to checks involving Betaware or Deltaware. -2 to check involving Used, Standard or Alphaware]
(RP) Redundancy Protocols	It's unknown to many if Shi is a past Monad inhabiting a corpse, or a free AI that focuses on one decrepit, albeit unique drone chassis. Regardless, they are constantly acquiring spare parts for emergency repairs. [+2 to check on partial/full Cyberlimbs (and limb specific modifications), though does not include the Full/Partial cyberskulls, or cybertorsos..]
(ECP) Energy Cycle Protocols	Despite their lower performance, Shi is obsessive with lasers and other "future" weaponry and ammunition. [+2 to Know/Gear checks on Laser/Coil (Gauss Cannons) Weaponry s..]
