My character sheet is getting there... Making hackers has always taken a lot of time, and these new rules were kinda kicking my butt. I have made good progress today though, and I got the sheet halfway done. Here's an intro that includes background.
Edit: It looks like my character is going to be a hacker/B&E guy, so... yeah. Lots of crap to lug around and lots of skills. Good times.
He is known as "Son" in the shadows.
Edit: Um... looks like someone tripped over a power cord or something because spoiler code is no longer working for me.
Edit: Almost Done. Just gonna let this marinate for a while to see if I forgot anything or my math was bad. I also made up an item: "Black Backpack". They have no bags or backpacks in the gear listing anymore (that I can find), so I just made one up! Enjoy the spam.
Edit: Not sure where I got the x3 multiplier for knowledge skills... Fixed it.. and other wierd stuff that I did.

Physical Description: This young human male sits at the cafe lounge area with his goggles, and headphones on, smiling and waving his hand around, obviously detached from reality. His face is speckled with acne, and his shaggy blond hair is a tangled mess among data jack cable and headphones. You come over to him and wave your hands in front of his face, and he shakes his head and beams a smile up at you, "I know you're there. I know everyone is here." Kids these days... They just think they can multitask through life, and this one is certainly multitasking.
Personality/background Not long ago there lived a technomage named Jumpstart. Jumpstart was a burnt-out troll mage that was "let go" by his mega corp after he lost his usefulness. He just couldn't handle implants like some of the other mages, and before long, his magic fizzled out. He managed to scrape by building electronics out of spare parts he found in garbage dumps.
One day, Jumpstart found a human baby in a garbage heap while he was looking for spare computer parts. Jumpstart couldn't just leave him there, so he decided to take him home and try to care for the poor thing. It turns out, a kid was just what Jumpstart needed to give him that old lust for life again. He started smiling more, making better hardware, and started teaching himself how to program better software. Pretty soon, he found that his magic ability came back, and started a successful little business as a programmer, hardware manufacturer, and enchanter. Jumpstart had previously just been calling the baby "baby," so Jumpstart decided to name the baby "Faith." After that, he would frequently tell his friends, "When things were looking bad, all I needed was a little Faith."
By the time Faith was two years old, Jumpstart had time and money to start giving the toddler a homegrown education on modern survival. Faith learned just about everything there is to learn about the matrix, society, and, most importantly, how to be a hacker. Faith took to technology like a worm in dirt. When Jumpstart gave Faith his first deck at 5 years old, Faith wouldn't let go of it. He took it to the dinner table, the bathroom, and took it to bed.
When Faith was 14 years old, one of his bloggs entitled "The Modern Philosopher" had reached the "Top 100 Best Bloggs" list, he had sold over 200000¥ in paydata, and was beginning to catch the eye of some Mr. Johnsons. That was when Jumpstart died. Trolls don't live very long, and Jumpstart wasn't all that healthy to begin with. This was a big hit to Faith, but Jumpstart had taught him well. Jumpstart had once said, "Life is too short to wallow in self pity."
Faith couldn't keep up Jumpstart's enchanting business, and that was raking in most of the household income, so he was forced to move to a small apartment in the city. He didn't mind too much, it was just lonely without Jumpstart there. Faith carries on as a successful blogger and hacker, but with these two priorities in mind: 1) improve self 2) improve surroundings.
So far, he has maintained 3 entities on the matrix. One is his blogger alias: "The Modern Philosopher" with which he discusses topics like "Negative Thinkers Are Better Off Dead" and "How To Exploit Mega Corps." The other is his gaming alias, "Tron." He is not a top player on any of the games, but he is definitely pretty good. The other is his hacking alias "Son," which reminds him of how he always will think of Jumpstart as his father.
