Netrunner

You’re a brain-burning computer hacker & master of the Post-NET cyberverse. Maybe your parents bought you an old Kirama LPD-12 cyberdeck with Zetatech 526 optical goggles when you were too young for interface plugs, and your life was changed. Maybe you used REFRAME-G1s meta-programming to crack into the school district’s system and change your grades. As a teenager, you might have shifted enough funds out of unprotected Trans United Bank accounts to finance your first neural interface plugs.

You could have run high and fast with the other gods of the NET: Bartmoss, Magnificent Curtis, and the rest. Then the 4th Corp War blew the Old NET apart. The R.A.B.I.D.S made NET travel a suicide run; the Nodes were fragmented or corrupted. But there are still places to run. You just had to go there and jack in the hard way. You traded in sitting on the couch for a Bodyweight combat bodysuit and Virtuality 5 interface goggles to mesh NET with Meatspace.

The systems you cracked are smaller, but even deadlier. Now, you’re really part of a team, with Solos to cover your back, Medtechs to restart your heart if the ICE gets you, and Techs to help you hot-wire your cyberdeck for more speed and software deployment. As an electronic wraith, you slip into mainframes: stealing, trading, and selling their deepest secrets.

Of course, the deadliest parts cyberspace is still out there in the remnants of the old NET. Others might think it’s all safe behind the Blackwall, but you know that it’s only a matter of time before the AI and ghosts of Soulkiller that live there break free.
