Character Information
Summary
An absolutely loyal to Aztechnology Technomancer and SCIRE survivor. He is an absolute menace to security networks and matrix apparatuses. Currently employed in the Aztechnology Special operations division based out of the Aztecnology Pyramid.
Even though he is a corporate SINner, this does not mean he will actively betray the runners. In general he will give his corporation information on the who what when where and why. If the run is against Aztecnology he will inform them and allow them to prepare countermeasures or false evidence in order to minimize damage if not completely neutralize it.
Feel free to give optional objectives to S.K. if you wish. He is bound to do them and cannot say no. He has a bit of blue and orange mentality. He has no problem killing anyone when asked, but doesn't see the point in needless killing.
Goals
Update his ware with proper authorization from Aztechnology.
Get himself a nice tricked out ride to go fast and drive in.
Get a VTOL for personal movement.
Eliminate all traces of the dissonance when possible and hunt down the remaining pieces of Deus.
Having never found love and having everyone close to him taken away, he hopes to find true love.
In his childhood in the hell that was SCIRE, there was a female technomancer whose name he couldn't remember but only her face. They were friends and survived. He lost track of her decades ago and seeks to find her.
Background
Life for Joseph has been pretty hard. His fondest memories of when he was just a small kid, his parents giving him an early Christmas gift and on their way to go get a cat from SCIRE. That day was December 19th 2059.
What transpired was a nightmare beyond imagining for a kid forced to survive with his parents as they were picked off and eventually he was toyed with like a puppet for Deus for over a year. Submitted to testing, life or death scenarios which he had to learn or die quickly in a UV host. Deus along with tens of thousands of others had implanted shoved into them against their will. Hell on earth was an apt description for for all the deaths he had to witness through year there. This left Joseph permanently scarred emotionally and mentally. He was able to keep up with the AI's experiments and trials and not be processed like the others or just killed outright. The day SCIRE's doors open were a blessing that stopped the madness.
As a survivor he was picked up by Aztecnology quickly before anyone he could be given over to the UCAS government. He was brought down to Tenochtitlan after to be studied like a lab rat and indoctrinated into corporate life. Have already been exposed to horrors of SCIRE, life under corporate tutelage was smooth and he simply wanted to fit in. The corp became like a surrogate family and nothing became too far for him.
After having grown up in the corp and his willingness to get back out in there, he was allowed to move back to Seattle Corporate in the Pyramid. Joining it’s special operations division as a new recruit, he has been tasked to work the streets and take orders and blend to in. Gather info, prevent damage to the corporation and complete the job.

String King recently befriended Argent after a 17 hit pre-edged negotiation and the two hit it off as friends. Real recognizes real. If not in the Pyramid, Joseph might be found hanging out with his new buddy on "assignment" passively gathering intel, but at the same time just enjoying time with a bro.

| 6 | More history with a childhood that has been meticulously built to look real, leading to his first childhood school in Aztlan. Inside there is an r7 data bombed(running silent) file that is running silent laid as bait along with various other falsified documents as basic noise and data chaff. It was a real school after all. (The file contains a contact number to a burner commlink that is empty. If you call this number or trace icon it, it will show up as being in a locker in the Seattle Tacoma docks. Calling the number will yield nothing but a call from another number on another burner commlink. (Heaven help you chummer as you are now on Aztechnology's radar.) |

SINs
REAL SIN
- Joseph Brown - Aztechnology Corporate SIN
Given to him after his abduction at a young age after the SCIRE incident, this SIN is what Aztechnology knows him by and what he considers his real identity.
- Joseph Smith R5 - UCAS - Fake Sin
This SIN was given with authorization to String King for operations in Seattle. It is registered with Aztechnology programs as a known fake, but one they keep to themselves and make it easier to track him.
It also functions as his false identity while operating outside Aztechnology, which is that of a Private Investigator.
Appearance
Clothing
- Armored Jacket
What String King will be wearing most of the time with simple AR fashion and some gel packs. It is a dull grey color and is made to not stand out. It has an R2 Array build into it so he can make E-war checks passively.
- Armante Suit
Rarely worn and rarely used, this sits on a rack inside his closet and is for when he has to go official meetings.
Matrix Persona
Generally for now his Matrix persona matches his false identity that most runners will see. Its operating as a "legal" investigator after all and there is very little in the way frills. His marks on various objects in the matrix are little cat paw effects with invisible strings leading back to his persona.
