This one should be fun. I'm curious to see what kinds of data you've pulled about the assorted Jackpointers. How old they are, what country they live in, what they do, what their area of expertise is, what their favorite ice cream flavor is, whatever. No need to go combing through the books for an obscure note, but if you want, that's fine too. The format isn't set in stone, so whatever you can post, feel free, but we'll try and work out a followable "look" as the thread progresses, so that people can add more data as we go along. It might look something like this:
Fastjack
Real Name: First name Jack, last name unknown
Gender: Male
Age: 73 (Born in 1999)
Metatype: Human
Base of Operations: Unknown
Notes: Fastjack is a living legend, the most famous decker in history. Everybody's heard of him, but records of him are hard to find. Runs Jackpoint. Has a Math CPU. Has an old trademark weapon in "Old Betsy", a simple attack program, but these days uses his Jackhammer, a Black Hammer program. Invented the Black Hammer program. His icon is a blurred human figure that vibrates at super speed. Some people think that he's a former member of the Echo Mirage team. Some people think that he's Damien Knight.
From there, whatever else you think is neat or memorable about them can be added.
I'm curious to see what sticks. :)

Fastjack's last name might be Matthews. In the story "Happy Trails" in the 20th Anniversary core book, Jack meets up with an otaku named Perri who is apparently his daughter. In a short story in the Seattle 2072 book set during the Renraku Arcology Shutdown, we meet a teenage girl named Perri Matthews who's trapped inside the arcology. It's possible that she has her mother's last name, but if not then it could well be Jack's last name as well.

It's been noted before that they are not the same girl.

He has purposefully gone out and destroyed all records (digital and physical) pertaining to his past, and doesn't speak much about it.
Have a nice day.

Oh? I hadn't realized that. Dang, and here I thought it was a deliberate callback put in there for the sharp-eyed reader to catch.

Have I mentioned of late that I love you, Fastjack? Because I do. :)

Some of the unknowns have been filled in (and some of the apparently known facts contradicted) in Street Legends. Of course, that assumes that none of the Jackpointers who wrote up the dossiers in that book made any mistakes....

One of his comments on his profile in Street Legends seemed to imply that he was black, rather than asian, but I could be misinterpreting.

heh, given the short fuse that come with that "package deal" i may have picked a fitting nick back in the day after all ;)

/dev/grrl is an elf. Her father appears to be human but we can't see her mother's ears to see if she's human or elf. (Safehouses)

Plan 9 is the spiritual successor of David Icke. :D

-
/dev/grrl is known not to use hard copy if there's any way she can help it, thinking that there's something "gross" about it. She actually called the pencil she used when writing the Safehouses article a torture instrument!
-
Well, considering that she probably writes almost everything digitally, holding a physical pencil and writing what amounts to an essay would be extremely painful after a while, just as doing any other task using muscles in ways you're not used to using in that way for extended periods would.

The irony of me writing that is, after I shattered my right elbow, writing with a pencil is actually torture to me now. :-\

So you got to play for a bit, and then your elbow shattered. Sounds like the curse gods sending a message to me. ;)

Actually it was a triple message that:
One: I've gained too much weight in the last eight years.
Two: I'm out of shape, and have forgotten how to fall properly.
Three: Concrete is HARD!

Either birth year would put her as older than I thought she was. I thought /dev/grrl was only like 14 or 15 rather than 17 or 18...

She was 13 in 2070.

In Corporate Guide, Pistons says that /dev/grrl is 16. So she'd be 17 now.

Future? 17 is the legal age here.

Who says that she doesn't already have herself a fella?
Probably one of those hip youths with a post-modern name.
-
She does mention that being a hacker helps her social life immensely.
-
The discussion she and Icarus had before FastJack posted his nonsequitur in Clutch was referring to her summer plans post-graduation from high school.

Near Future, as in the next release. :P
16 is legal here. ;) (With some provisions, that is. 18 is full-legal.).
EDIT: Which is neither here nor there, we don't know the age of consent for NeoNET, which she is a citizen of. Also, Shadowrunner culture might have a different view of "Age Of Consent" than regular culture due to the large proponent of metahumans in the group. (Orks and Trolls age quickly and are physically mature at a younger age. Elves and Dwarves take longer. Humans are damned breeders.).
But we're getting away from the topic at hand, and REALLY getting towards items that might head into... Well... We probably have enough acronyms watching us all as is.

Frosty
Real Name: Jane Foster
First/Last Appearance: 6/5/57 - 4/28/74
Information: Daughter of Ehran the Scribe; Initiate hermetic mage; Shadowtalker List
Former student of and possible lover of.... Harlequin. Is that right? I know he took her from Ehran and taught her some stuff, but then remind me of a couple that fights all the time and refuses to admit that they have feelings for each other. Though he is..... infinitely older than her. Old elves need love too?

No proof of a relationship beyond student and mentor (just a very common rumour here on our version of Jackpoint). Wasn't 'taken' from Ethran the Scribe per se, but was recruited to Harliquin's side during a ritual dual between the two (and used for some heavy duty ritual magic as well). Only recent discovered she was Ethran's daughter... not sure if she has caught up with either Harlequin or Ethran since...
-
I'd be willing to bet my left arm that if she really wanted to get a hold on the jester she'd have a way to contact him. That being said, I know far less about Ehran outside of him being a former Prince.

Do you think she will be upset that Harliquin kept it from her, or that Ehran denied her. So... either a feeling of being used, of being just a tool in a pointless struggle between the raging egos of immortal elves... or the feeling of being completly rejected by your father. Oh well...
-
Nah, she seems much more the type to respect what they are, what they might have to do, and probably could care less.
For those of you hip to other games, I liken her and Harlequin to Joihra and Teferi.
-
Liken them to who and who?

Having a RELIABLE way of getting him to reply, OTOH...

Meanwhile, he doesn't seem to have any trouble hijacking her JackPoint account. :)
-
Well, Harley is kind of an entitled jerk. :)

Well, when your brain is linked to several individuals, that can happen. I think the post at the end of Land of Promise is Ehran speaking through Frosty, as well. Clutch of Dragons lays out the fact that all the elves, at least, that were present at the Watergate Rift when Ghostwalker closed it are mentally linked on some level. The exact extent of the link is unclear, but it seems to fall somewhere between an empathic link and a mindlink spell. Presumably, the older, more powerful elves may be able to 'guide' the link to some extent.
-
You assume that they are even aware of it.
-
Well, the fiction certainly seemed to imply that Surehand and Ehran were aware of it, and Frosty said in the main article that she'd been getting 'flashes' or some such, and had discussed it with Arete. So they know something's up, they just don't know what. Just like how they apparently know that Aina isn't really dead. And if Surehand and Ehran are aware of the link, then I'd bet my last nuyen that Harlequin is aware. He might be too blinded by passion to understand what it means, but he's aware.

Kane has dibs, I think.
Uh. No. :) COnsidering what Kane went through to get Kat back, I doubt he'd ever even look at another woman.
That said, he's likely become a big brother or protective uncle. So anyone interested in Dev has to go through Kane.
Imagine THAT for your first date!
-
And here I'd thought it'd be Bull in the rocking chair with the PAC. ;D
-
I dunno. In that same Corporate Guide bout of shadowtalk where Pistons says that /dev/grrl is 16, and doesn't have the same ideas of 'fun' as others, Kane was quick to offer his services to find out. And no one ever said that Kat would be excluded.
-
I'm still surprised she somehow caught Kane flatfooted. It's weird. I want to see what she's like 10 years from now.

Let's see... She's learned Hacking/Decking/Hacking from FastJack... Is learning combat from Kane... Will learn driving from Turbo Bunny... Will learn Fixing from Bull... Will learn about magic from Frosty and Many-Names... And that's just what we SEE.

Fastjack's grooming /dev/ to take over for him when/if he kicks the bucket.

I've thought that myself.
-
That may be, but she has a long, long, long way to go - and a lot of losses to have, absorb, and overcome. So far she's just been wunderkinder, and that always makes people who've had to claw for every step forward irritable. I see lots of pain in /dev/grrl/'s future, and not a lot of support from even her fellow Pointers. It's the Icarus effect.

There's also what I promised I'd do to her if I ever got the chance. *Evil GM Smile*
