Character Information
Summary
Chance was born in North Redmond and thinks that Outremer is a long way from Seattle. He is a brilliant mind that has been largely filled with Barrens garbage and life on the streets. A fairly competent Decker, Chance barely pays attention to how much skill he actually brings to the table in the matrix, preferring to act like the street hooligan he is and refusing to be constrained in nearly any situation.
In recent months chance is only sporadically seen coming and going in Redmond and most of his work has gone digital, largely because after events in [Welcomes Careful Drivers] he has been living at least part time, and sometimes more on Echo Station in Geosynchronous Orbit as space pirate "The Void" and only occasionally shows up in the flesh in Seattle.. When he does, it is rarely as "Chance the Decker" but instead is on a Loco speedball fueled rampage as "The Barrens Spaceman."
After his visit to Australia he is working to keep one foot in both places more frequently and starting to consider the world around him just a little bit more.
Goals
Cultivate identities in different places and facets of the Matrix to facilitate a little more freedom to move around without notice in the shadows.
Buildup the so called "Void Net" information sharing network to rapidly disburse sercets he learns and feels can be shard quickly and worldwide.
Continue to improve his decking and rigging skills, now social skills as well.
Make an actual sasquatch friend.
Die a legend.
Background
"My Mother was a Bunraku and my Father had a credstick." -Chance
This guy grew up in a failing foster system after a sweep and clear of the bunraku parlor he grew up in. The SIN he was awarded fell through the cracks well before he finished school as a "head count" student from North Redmond High. He was smart enough to avoid joining a street gang as of yet, and has been plucked for some shadow work in the meantime. He was always talented in computer lab and has worked as an occasional hacker , barrens tour guide, or sword for hire since he was a teenager.

Allies
Samael Opposites attract, and these two balance well on teams while coming to the same conclusions a lot of the time.
Asura Opposites are sometimes oil and vinegar in the field but do a lot of day drinking together.
Geodesic Chance doesn't get familial with many folks, but tries to be the weird stepbrother Geo never had from time to time.

Appearance
Chance has two looks, even when wearing Synthskin his fake ID's and fake personas tend to follow this.
"Average barrens dude" with his head shaved or kept very short, clean shaven, relatively unassuming aside from some of his clothing choices and that depends on neighborhood, constantly moving and watching light blue eyes are rarely changed from his originals.
When traveling to/from Space, and sometimes for long stretches up there and just after he gets home, he has an 80 CM long pack of fiber optic hair and a fiber optic beard that he has regularly installed and taken out, it sits in a ruddy brown most of the time until he starts dialing it into neon as a laugh or mood device.
Clothing
Matrix Persona
P3ck3r! A punk rock woodpecker icon that shifts between 16 bit and fluid animation, often followed by his agent "Woodie" a miniaturized 8 bit version of himself.
