Spin.doc

Name: Ouran Heady
Closest Archetype: Elven Corporate Decker

The skinny: Spin.doc is a bit of an enigma to all that meet him. Outside of the matrix, he seems to suffer from an acute case of short attention span disorder. Nothing appears able to hold his attention for very much longer than three minutes. He possesses beta grade Level 3 wired reflexes which are always active, and which could also explain his short attention span. Spin.doc does not carry a deck. He likes to tell people that he jacks directly into the matrix using only his brain but that isn’t true. Spin.doc uses a cranial cyberdeck which he was outfitted with by the Ares corporation.

Meeting Spin.doc: A PC is most likely to meet Spin.doc in a bar. He will introduce himself to ladies openly. He will also introduce himself to the men who seem to be attracting the attention of ladies. Spin likes to dance, and enjoys the hunt of picking up women. However, since he plans to remain a virgin until he’s married, he won’t take a woman home with him.

Description: Spin.doc is five feet ten inches tall. He’s blue-eyed, anorexic, and an Elf. His skin is a rich olive color and his hair is unusually curly and brown. His hair has never been cut. It trails halfway down his back when relaxed, but is generally woven into braids or ultra-moussed to stand straight up like frozen dreadlocks. He dresses in slightly out of date fashions and sees himself as a bit of a revivalist. A gold rimmed datajack is located near his left temple.

History: Spin.doc was born as Ouran Heady. His parents, also elves, are originally of Arabian descent and reside in the Tir Tangire, just outside of Portland where they work for SunQuest Microsystems. Spin.doc left the Tir when he was fourteen years old to pursue a college education at MIT&T. He dropped out of college after two years, when he realized that he just didn’t fit in. He moved to Seattle at the age of sixteen and ended up on the streets. He fell in with a gang of Orcs known as the Bone Smashers who claimed to run a part of the Orc underground. Since he had nowhere else to go, Spin.doc became their decker, finding a home and friends in the Orc underground. In 2054 Spin.doc was ‘discovered’ on the Ares grid. The corporation tracked him down and gave him the choice of either working for them or pushing up daisies. He decided to work for Ares. They supplied him with a cranial deck and let him roam as a security systems tester. He continues to live in the Orc underground and continues to test matrix security systems for Ares.
