Physical Appearance:
Byte is a very beautiful young woman, much more attractive than what most would think for her lifestyle half the time. She has no real visible blemishes on her body, save for a few scars on her hands and on her chin, and for what looks to be a scar from a bullet that skimmed her right arm. She has long dark brown hair that reached to the bottom of her shoulder blades, which is more often than not tied into a fishtail braid. She also has bands that go just below her eyebrows. Byte has a triangular shaped body, with hips slightly wider than her chest. Her breasts are nothing super impressive, but are a respectable 36B. Her height works against her chest size. Byte’s height is due to her relatively long legs, which make her taller than the average girl. Byte’s has a thin heart shaped face, with full lips and a small nose. She has almond shaped, blue eyes that are an average distance apart with a normal sized forehead. [url=http://th08.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/f/2012/033/4/9/gamer_girl_by_sakimichan-d4oh68x.jpg]This[/url] is a good way to imagine her appearance if my description was bad. Her body is fairly toned and strong, especially her arms, as he has built up enough muscle to resist the kickback of the guns she fires. She’s not overly muscular, but she does have some girl power to her.
 
Attire: Byte here wears mainly cargo pants and a brown or black tank top, with some combat boots and fingerless gloves. Around her neck is a necklace she made herself. It’s just a simple leather strip that she tied together at the end with a USB at the end of it. She uses this USB for jobs with Rush and Ray. She has two .5 Caliber Desert Eagles strapped to her hips at all times. One of which has an extended clip built by Rush for her, the other has a tactical light. More often than not she’ll have a headset around her heck of on her head, and a pair of sunglasses that she normally hooks onto her belt. Her headset can function as either a sound suppressor for when she’s shooting, or for radio, as one of it’s cables hooks up to a radio strapped to her wrist near her guns. She also tends to carry a Taser in one of her pants pockets, and there is a throwing knife in both of her socks. She’s no good at throwing them, but hey, she’s got the option.
 
Personality
 
Outward & Innate Personality: Incredibly powerful and adept technomind capable of understanding, designing, creating, and hacking any form of software or hardware, and has limited control over non electrical hardware such as guns, door locks, etc. Extremely intelligent, far beyond what any would consider a normal human (she scored over perfect on the SAT by figuring out the pattern of prime numbers, people are still scratching their heads on that one). Despite this she is still a twenty five year old woman with spunk and has a short temper. Coupled with the fact that she’s very attractive (she’s very aware of this fact) she often gets pissed off easily and if not for the rest of her group she’s probably be in jail for shooting up a bar. Some would almost consider her sociopathic based on how willing she is to put a bullet in a person’s brain if they become useless. Has a gun fetish. She’s big into overkill. She defines herself as the unofficial leader of the little hacker group and often refers to the other three as her butt monkeys. Despite wanting (and threatening, and maybe even shooting near them) to kill the group half the time, she does give half a fuck about them and would probably be slightly distraught if one of them got hurt.
 
 
Hobbies/Interests: Put clothing pins in Rush’s dick.
Skills/Talents: Extremely smart, excellent shot, and one hell of a hacker. Has dirt on literally everyone. Excellent at drinking games.
Prized Possession: “WHO TOUCHED MY GUN?”
Quote(s):
“Rush thinks I have three tits. I’m as confused as you are.”
“Please stop looking at me as if I’m a piece of meat, or I will turn you into one.”
“Hey man, I’m perfectly fine with you bringing Ray along. As long as he doesn’t touch my food he’s just like a big retarded house cat.”
 
History/Bio:
Byte’s always grown up a bit of an odd and rebellious one. She’s always been good at making money is unethical ways, so as soon as she turned 18 her parents pretty much kicked her out. Byte, for a very long time, has known about her power and immediately put it to use. How? CRAIGSLIST THAT’S HOW!
 
That means she tracked down a randomly chosen user’s IP, then proceeded to track down the information linked to that IP, and then pretty much take their life savings while transferring it to an ATM in the city (a different one every time to keep the police from catching on). It was like winning the lottery except the opposite. Her story in being a hired gunman began in a bar after she won a drinking game with a person who held their alcohol especially well. After getting drunk and earning some extra money, she nearly got raped. Not that she really remembers any of this. She was pretty much black out drunk at the time. All she remembers was waking up in a room with a not stuck to her forehead that said ‘Nice shooting’ with a number stuck to it. After some back tracing she was able to bring herself to call. This is where her gun fetish began, and her story as a sniper continues to this day in her spare time. She does clean work, quick, silent, and leaves no trace. Just like everything she does. She makes it look like an accident. She’s made a few mistakes like any human, nearly got shot in a police chase, the bullet skinning off of her arm, but she wasn’t caught, and no one has seen her face. So as far the police, and her, are concerned, the case is still under investigation.

She met Rush and Ray on Piratebay’s offshore site. She was hired to work with Rush by Piratebay to design a firewall for some of their offshore databases. They did clean work, faster than she could do alone, and using this she tracked Rush down and after some convincing via email they met on some middle ground and established a little hub of their own to make some cash. Rush brought Ray along for some hired muscle. As long as he “[...]doesn’t touch her food,” he was all good to her.
 
Family:
Two estranged parents!
 
Relationships
 
Relationships:

Rush | Good | Partner in crime/Friend/Buttmonkey | “I stick a pin in his dick once. He’s still puts up with me and I haven’t had the urge to kill him once yet!”
 
Ray | Good | Retarded Housecat/Buttmonkey | “Sometimes you need a leg breaker when you don’t feel like shooting out someone’s kneecaps.”

Abilities
 
Power Class: Cerebral, Other 

Power: 
Byte is essentially the ctOS network from Watch_Dogs, except a person. She is capable of separating herself from her body and essentially hacking into just about anything electronic in existence. She can take all of your money, watch every move you make from cameras, change traffic lights, raise bridges, etc, making her incredibly dangerous in a city environment. In stressful situations, she can trigger huge blackouts that knock out the lights and let the world fall into total darkness. She’s incredible support for her allies and living hell for her enemies. Essentially, she will change traffic lights upon request for allies who are in a car chase to all green as soon as they’re though and cause a sixteen car pile up to either block or crush their pursuers. She is also able to monitor the city and work from home. Due to her ability to separate herself from her body, she can insert herself into her allies phones or into her USB for work away from home while still staying at home. If Rush or Ray want her to do something discretely they can shove her USB into a computer and go do whatever they need to do and then pick her up later. She’s great for providing support to her allies in situations like these and giving them advantages that their opponents don’t have. She is also capable of manipulating non electronic devices, but not nearly as well as Rush is. She might be able to manipulate a lock unto being unlocked or locked, but she isn’t able to jam a gun at will.

Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks: Whenever she separates herself from her body, her body pretty much falls unconscious. So she’s very weak in these situations. She is capable of using this to her advantage by smearing blood on herself and then exiting her body. Makes for a great corpse impersonation, but this usually has more downsides than it does upsides in most situations. She’s also not immune to her own power outages and can pretty much do nothing more than wait for it to come back online. If she is shut down, or if her USB or whatever she is in during transport is smashed while she’s in it, she won’t be killed, but she will wake up gasping in shock after she literally experienced death without actually dying, and will lock herself into her room for a while and play Scribblenauts or other assorted feel good games and will be unable to use her power for a few days. Whether she won’t or is unable to use her power she will not disclose, as she really doesn’t speak to anyone during this time. If her body is killed with her in it, she dies. If her body is killed while she is not in it, her consciousness will exist as a computer program until she gets shut down again. After this, she’s basically a normal human in terms of strength and healing ability.
 
Other: She doesn’t trust banks and therefore keeps all of her money under her mattress. Drives a Volkswagon Passat.
