Background

He was supposed to be glorious. He was supposed to be perfect.

Instead, here he is, wading in dark alleyways, bashing in heads and taking credsticks full of token pay. He's a nobody. He knows he's not a natural birth. Somewhere, out there, is his true father, a lead scientist. Memories of the first few years are so scarce and hazy, the scream of numbers around him as the entire host of the facility became a scrambled mess. He doesn't even exist anymore, not in the system or on the Matrix. He sees the Matrix for what it truly is. When he closes his eyes, he sees it all. When he sleeps, he sees it all. When he meditates, he sees it all. Nothing lets him escape from the vast, unknowable madness of it.

And here he is, wading in dark alleyways, bashing in heads and taking credsticks full of token pay. He knows a glimpse of the true nature of the Matrix. He has the capacity to be the perfect being. And he's stuck here. Unknown. Unseen. Unwanted. This isn't his fault, this is the fault of everyone else that ignores him. He never chose to be in the darkness. He tries to make accomplishments when he can, but it'll never be enough for the sheer effort he puts in. He should be idolized. He should be admired and world-renowned for his genius, but nobody knows of the things he dreams of. Nobody ever bothers to find out.

And he'll make it everyone's problem. Bitter, spiteful and carrying a grudge against the world, the shadowrunner known as Iron is forever stained by his unseen existence in the shadows.

Development

All that hard work's finally begun to pay off. Iron's made powerful enemies. The Black Lodge had its operations disrupted and spy networks dismantled because of him. Saeder-Krupp despises him for causing them millions upon millions of nuyen worth of losses, invaluable assets stolen and demiGODs slain. Null Sect despises the technomancer for what he represents: an unyielding and fearless resistance against the encroaching darkness across the grids. Yet despite his worst impulses and acerbic attitude, he's made alliances. Garmonbozia, the secret AI nation hidden within the depths of the wild Matrix is indebted to him. Even if it's a hidden world where most people will never step foot in, his genius and talent is acknowledged. He's been asked to contribute to one of the most pivotal architechtural projects of the current age, the so-called techno-kaer.

Goals

• Stay under the radar and maintain his Erased status Sacrificing his Erasure protocols allowed him to access Garmonbozia, but now Saeder-Krupp can start building a target.
• Nurture relationships between himself and artificial intelligences Accomplished. Iron's known among AI organizations and groups as a powerful ally of their kind, having saved thousands from GOD.
• Gain access to and visit Garmonbozia in person Iron is one of the few metahumans with the privilege of accessing Garmonbozia properly.
• Finish the Godless Logic Engine The engine is complete, in a manner of speaking. The Iron Warriors Legion has taken its place as a Level 20 Fault Sprite.
• Find a way to keep S-K off his back permanently
• Understand the upcoming threat of the Horrors more conclusively
• Master architechture and assist the construction of the experimental techno-kaer
• Develop bonds with the leadership of Garmonbozia: Sojourner, Pulsar and Mimir. He disapproves of Orior due to the AI's messiah complex and religious tones.

Significant Things for Narrative

• Invisible Existence (Prototype Transhuman, Technomancer) - In the first years, his Emergence was violent and reached far and wide. He just wanted the pain to stop. Now, he no longer exists. That laboratory wouldn't hold answers even if he figured out where it is. All evidence is gone. All of it. Whatever he was, he's not getting it back. But maybe he can make something new.
• Lord of Iron (Resonant Stream: Machinist, Paragon: Daedalus) - His virtual kinetic abilities have developed to heights that cause lesser technomancers feel pain from his resonating presence. His talents have evolved, abandoning his Matrix legions and concentrating on mastery over all physical technology. Drones, circuits, terminals, the mind of an inventor burns bright within the genius of the Lord of Iron.
• Iron Within (Analytical Mind, Brilliant Heuristics, Memory Palace, Mnemonic Vault, Photographic Memory, Speed Reading) - Iron's mind is honed to a mental fortress. It is as sharp as a razor and outperforms top of the line cyberdecks.
• Iron Without (Tough As Nails, Will To Live, Ronin, Resonant Programs Fork, Biofeedback & Hammer) - Against his foes, the Lord of Iron shows no mercy. A relentless, grinding assault besieges even the most stalwart of opposition down to dust.
• Bitter Incarnate (Nerdrage, Alpha Junkie, Did You Just Call Me Dumb?) - Iron has a temper, one that flares easily if someone tries to shove him aside or ignore him, or worse yet, insult him. He is the perfect being. How dare anyone mock him?

Matrix Search Table

Threshold	Result
1	A metallic element often used to form steel by making alloys with other metals.
3	Some hacker boards mention seeing entire fleets of Matrix entities attacking singular hosts and overwhelming them before erasing the host entirely off the grid. These personae carried iconography identified as the 'Iron Warriors.' The exact user IDs change drastically every time, making any shared details useless.
6	Security breaches in S-K security file archives mention a hacker by this name as an imminent first rate threat. Interestingly, the Grid Overwatch Division has him listed as a person of interest instead of a wanted hacker.

Shadow Community Table

Threshold	Result
1	Unusually handsome troll. Can take a punch.
3	Absolutely horrible attitude. Tends to find other people's success infuriating.
5	Doesn't look entirely normal on the astral.

Assensing Table

Threshold	Description
1	Mundane and healthy. Usually in a foul mood.
2	No obvious implants.
3	Low Essence. Often has an astral signature of a peculiar alchemical compounds. Has innate adjustments to his genome, gray matter and large blood vessels. A proper Biotechnology check helps identify these as sleep regulation, platelet boosters, troll reduction and cerebellum/cerebral booster augs.
4	2.4 Essence. His muscles, memory centers, sweat glands and a spot near his collarbone are intricately modified. A proper Biotechnology check would identify these as muscle toners, augmentations, mnemonic enhancements, pheromones and an enlarged thyroid gland.
5	Technomancer. Most of his minute ware is bleeding edge. Cybertechnology and Biotechnology checks can ace the skillwire systems, chipjacks, neural nanohive, signal boosters, smartlink and voice box masking tech.
