Overview
X-POS-A, or just X for short, is a dogged and driven investigative journalist. Or - that's what they bill themself as. More accurately, they're a resident of Redmond with a knack for writing eye-catching headlines and in possession of a moderately followed blog. Always looking for the next scoop, you can never trust anything to stay secure when X is around - information is meant to be shared, after all! Especially if it gets them the attention of a proper network that'll pick them up or hire them.
For now, they largely work within Redmond, and really don't have a good enough fake SIN to cross the district borders.
X-POS-A's articles all carry a distinctive, rambling writing style. They go off on tangents midway through posts in nearly every instance, and will tend to sensationalize everything they write. They also have a powerful anti-corporate streak.
Aspects Description
Aspect | Description |
---|---|
It's in the name! | If a runner tells X-POS-A tells them something that might make a good scoop, immediately make a test of loyalty. On a failure, the information will end up on her newsblog in one form or another, even if garbled through her usual... style. |
Bad SIN | X-POS-A has a poor fake SIN, and doesn't have the resources to acquire a new one. Unless a runner acquires her a burner on a run, treat her as having a Rating 2 SIN, and she'll refuse to cross district borders. |
Ear to the Street | X-POS-A is a Redmond resident born and raised. +2 to all checks working within Redmond. |
Incredible-sounding bullshit | X-POS-A is an expert at blinding people with fast-talk, and will leave your head spinning if you let her get going. +2 to active checks where she has to lie or distract. |
Slippery Street Rat | Despite being so loud on the matrix, X-POS-A is oddly slippery on the meat. +2 to checks to avoid being tracked physically, or to advise on how to lose trails. |
Google-fu | Many of X-POS-A's stories start out as matrix rumors. +2 to knowledge and active checks that require searching the matrix, or information on the public grid. |
Hey, I know that blog. | X-POS-A has a generally good reputation among the street-level populace of Redmond. +2 to checks where trust from local populace or street cred is relevant. |
