Weapons: Whip-Sword, metallic, electrified via her Stream powers (AKA what Ivy has in Soul Caliber)
I think I might have a better weapon for you.
Since carrying a sword is heavy and learning how to use one properly would detract from your mad hacker skillz, I was thinking that maybe you could have an easier to use weapon that added to your parkour skill and your hacker skill.

The Ovid is a wrist based device that fires a thin line of special alloy designed to be incredibly flexible while outstandingly sturdy. At top speed, The Ovid's tether is as fast as a bullet and can travel almost as far as one due to how much tether The Ovid has thanks to the small size. The small blade at it's tip ensures that it can pierce even stone so you don't need to worry about grappling onto any surface.
The line's firing speed can be adjusted with the holographic display. The display also handles aim and be calibrated to your helmet for any necessary adjustments you might need to make.
It retracts in a matter of seconds(though you can adjust that as well) so re-firing can happen as soon as you need it, great for quick getaways. The device also easily conducts electricity so should one happen to have an electric based stream(hint hint) one could easily electrify a person from an incredibly long distance.
One could even use it as a whip if they wanted
Essentially, it's a grappling hook on your wrist but it can also be used with your powers and can be used as a whip.
Sorry if I've over stepped my bounds, just thought this really fit her. I can just see her swinging to a rooftop with it and electrifying some pesky security guard when he isn't looking.
Then in a flash, she's gone.
PS: Ovid is the name of the poet who wrote Metamorphoses, a poetic narrative where Morpheus makes an appearance. I thought it was a fitting name for your
@greywolf375 While I do like being complimented, I'd be remiss if I didn't remind you that this is still your character so if you have any problems with my changes you can say so freely. I promise I will not mind.
Christina Johnson was born to a middle-class family on New Earth, her mother and father both worked in the Network Security Administration, the government group tasked with hunting down hackers, black sites, and other illegal netizens. She had a good early childhood, with some good friends, and a solid social life, but her favorite thing, the one thing that truly grabbed her interest and held it, was computers.
She was always connected in one way or another, as were most of her friends, which might explain why she was online so much, but whatever. She ended up being what most people would call a Net Junkie, or a “Nettie” for short. Somewhere along the way, she decided to learn how the computers and networks she so loved worked, what made them tick, which got her into programming, not to mention researching the hardware and eventually building her own custom rig, with her parents blessing.
She was still a fit, active young woman, her main physical activities being parkour and urban exploration. Along the rabbit hole of curiosity, she started to wonder what the code that actually ran the net was like. She started to do research, and this research led her down towards the DarkNet. In the seedy gray area between the ‘dark’ and ‘light’ nets is where she ran into a group of people who turned into her other group of friends, friends that would later become Network Of Dreams, a group of shadowy hackers that ruled the DarkNet under their leader, M0rph3us.
But I'm getting ahead of myself....
During her hunt for information on the “Core of the Net”, as she liked to call it, she learned that it was run from, and stored on, a massive amount of remote servers, owned by many companies, mostly ISPs, and that at this point, it wasn’t really possible to view the core programs that kept the Net running. By 15, this infatuation with technology led her to the concept of hacking, a form of thievery she thrived in. She studied endlessly and with her already astounding knowledge of computers, expanded her intellect even further into the field of computers. By 17 she could crack a high level safe from the comfort of her own home, though that was just practice.
And that's where Network of Dreams came in. With her new talent and skill, Christina was able to put together an idealistic hacker group under her command. They were freedom chasers and thrill seekers, amassing money and power through targeted attacks on corporate, government and private machines and servers. Some of what they took went to the poor but really, it was for the fun of it, they had a special gift and they knew how to raise a little hell with it.
The group had a good run, ran rampant for a full two years, but all things have to come to an end eventually. Christina's end, or rather her beginning, came from a steady flow of rumors and her natural love of a challenge.
You see, the young hacker had to know just how good she really was so it wasn't a surprise when she, having heard of the legendary protection program that they employed, targeted the largest enterprise to grace New Earth, Olympus. This giant corporation, with a stagnating amount of power and influence, boasted the galaxy's highest security.....so Christina hacking into their bank records within a matter of minutes was something they had never even considered. Her abilities on the net were unprecedented and she knew it, her friends knew it. But, while she may have been a genius, they were a company with resources and secrets they'd rather keep hidden so it wasn't long before she received an email, requesting the presence of Morpheus.
Suffice to say, Christina was aware of how the proverbial shit had hit the fan.
Okay, so-
So far I fixed the walls of text by breaking them up into easier-to-read paragraphs and wrote out the grammatical errors. You sometimes switched between past and present tense in the same sentence for no reason so I fixed that.
I took out the part about Olympus being a shadow organization because it isn't, it's an international(now intergalactic) company with buildings and companies expanding around the globe. Christina could find out whatever she wanted about it's existence from a google search.
Basically, I kept mostly everything the same, the information is still there just worded differently. The only big change I've made so far was, like I said, the nature of how you got onto Olympus' radar because they aren't a shadow organization......at least not on the surface.
1) Don't make up Agents and don't make up facilities without my approval. As this game is based pretty hard on exploring and making choices in a preexisting set-up instead of world building, It's important to run things by me first. It's not always a big deal but safe rather than sorry.
2)You gotta work on your sentence structure dude. Like, your dialogue and the part where it was an actual in-game conversation was excellent but those walls of texts....
I like the character in-general though, she sounds good from what I'm reading.
PS:If you forget the mention, just go to edit and put it in.
1)You can't become a stream user...then again....hmmm, I'll think about that...
2)A stream user's abilities will manifest in their adolescence on average but that can vary with each user. Like, an extreme trauma or sudden shock can force a stream ability to manifest early or someone can be a "late bloomer" so your abilities don't manifest till adulthood.
3)Everything takes practice but starting them up in general is something that would come naturally like any other super power.
@Kouki Sorry it took me a while, but I'm not sure what you mean. He wasn't the leader of anything, just a rookie at the time.
That's all well and good but I asked what war you were referring to when you said you were the only survivor. I ask because I wanted to make sure that it wasn't The Silent Night tragedy.
Or did you mean in general? Like, by the wars end, you were the only one left in your unit. Because if that's what you meant than I'm a dummy who doesn't know how to read things right.
PS:Your original post had you as a leader of a stream unit, I was referring to that cause I forgot you changed your history.
