“Sandman”
- Real Name: Carl Eugene Owens
- Aliases: No others known
- SIN: 4457-8698-8900-0024
Physical Description
Homo Sapiens Sapiens; baseline Human. Caucasian. 201 cm in height. 90 kg weight. Brown hair, worn long and tied back. Brown eyes, natural. (Note: Owens often uses color contacts.) Clean shaven. Due to a childhood incident in which non-vital nerves were severed, Owens’ left eyelid remains half-closed at all times. Minimum physical threat. Magically inactive.
Sandy says he got that little distinguishing mark on the Night of Rage in 2041, trying to defend his 12 year old friend Jonni–a female Ork. Jonni died in the warehouse fires.

Too bad they didn’t all roast.
Anonymous
Gotcher number, fucker. Mr. “Anonymous” is John Reitsman, Jr. 118 1/2 Pine Road, Tacoma. If you wanna try to beat me to this Humanis scum, feel free.

I hear Sandman is at his cushy Datatrieval job to save the ‘yen for a new C2 deck. Must be nice.

No comment.

Psychological Profile
Owens possesses an “underdog” empathy, which makes his current corporate affiliation difficult to fathom. He is, however, somewhat more predictable than the more freelance of his profession. He is an idealist. His need for freedom is expressed in the occasional vicarious adventure through his street-level friends and associates. It is also likely that this individual uses his extraordinary Matrix access to perform as an “electronic vigilante.” This is unconfirmed, however.
Carl, why don’t you delete this shit?
FastJack
Why?
Sandman
Well, what I wanna know is: Will you a buy a girl dinner, Sandy?
Nibbles
Tonight, Neon Ricki’s, 23:00. Ask the bartender to point me out.
Sandman
Ain’t romance grand?
Skinner
Decking Icon
A malleable, constantly shifting humanoid formed of particles of glassy sand.
Decking “Signature”
No modus operandi yet determined. Owens appears as capable of raw, bludgeoning force as he does of subtlety. Recently, however, a number of systems crashes have been attributed to the forced introduction of the Travelling Salesman problem. There may be a link between these crashes and “Sandman’s” activities.
The Travelling Salesman, huh? I haven’t tried to puzzle that one out since school. Unsolvable, or so they say. I bet Renraku’s AI could trick it. If they ever get the thing on-line, that is.

Resources
Low. A Fuchi Cyber-7, Increased Response I. Upper-middle class lifestyle. Owens’ ability to gather sensitive information should not be underestimated, however.
