@Scarescrow When you get a chance, change the name of your Hider to his name. Right now it just says "Hider." Otherwise, no objections.

@Traps I don't understand the first IC.

Glowst0ne

Name: Gunther Raskoph.

Username: Glowst0ne

Age: 29

Appearance: Gunther is a white German-American (American by citizenship, though). He has smooth black hair cut to only a few inches in length. He has bland, half-open brown eyes, thin eyebrows, and is clean-shaven (he doesn't have much facial hair anyway). Gunther wears mono-colored t-shirts that are either blank of have a large design on the front and baggy blue jeans with white sneakers. When he's out, he wears a large blue longshoreman jacket with a hood if it's cold and a black baseball cap and black-tinted sunglasses if it's sunny. His holster (see Devices) is clipped to a black two-latch leather belt. He tries to maintain a casual, careless appearance that suggests he is still a college student.

Chat color: This one.

Device(s):
Getac X500-


Acer n311-


At home, he has a (heavily modified) Getac X500 connected to an external hard drive and hardwired to a server in his second bedroom, along with any other devices. On the move, he has two PDAs. One is a handheld computer, with an encrypted signal and a few hand-made programs that can break into PCs and smartphones, access and disable security cameras and networks, freeze up or shut down computers, and a few other things. The other is a bit different. He carries it in a holster clipped to his belt tucked inside his pants at his back. He has never used it, but it is always loaded.

Occupation: Freelance hacker. Works mostly from home.

Cyberskills: Backdoors, encryption and decryption, small-scale infiltration.

Personality: Solitary and content. No personal connections with family or friends. Loves challenging himself and constantly tries to learn new things, including making his own computer parts and conducting "field work." His real-life personality is practically identical to his online personality.

Background: Gunther is a full-blooded German, born and raised in Munich. He was an intelligent, ambitious boy who had maybe two friends that didn't last past high school. He was never a star student, with zero athletic or artistic interest, but he was above average in all subjects. He majored in computer science in college and developed a deep interest in it. Socially, Gunther was unsuccessful in friendship and romance, and subsequently lost interest, choosing to focus on school. His Germanic blood gave him a desire to challenge himself, and he drove himself to become an expert in the field. His field of study expanded to include robotics and even genetic engineering. Three years in, he expanded his field into less honest computer work and discovered that he could make a living by challenging his skills on his own terms and time. He finished his degree at 23 years of age, earning a Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering, and moved to America, leaving family and memories behind. He ended up in Virginia and took up residence in a modern apartment building (two bedroom flat) where he got to work. Currently 29, he has been in the hacking business for a solid seven years.

Gunther found the Hackers.chatroom just by wondering if such a thing existed. Besides the chat room, he has in the past taken more interest in "field work" and has tried scoping out places and trailing people to hack them on the move, but it's far more dangerous and you can make just as much of a profit by staying home. He owns a separate apartment in the same complex, under a different name with false ID, that he uses mostly as a decoy, including a dummy laptop with encrypted files that contain no information and a server connected to a dead network. He visits it occasionally to make sure everything is running, clean it and throw away junk mail.

Gunther currently runs his own small business as a freelancer and, on occasion, fixer. Most of the work comes from finding secure information, moving money, and shutting down competition, and he works only in cash and bitcoin. As for his standard of life, he eats healthy food, jogs in the morning, and is teaching himself krav maga. He shares his apartment with Zero, his German Shepherd, who acts as his companion and security system. After all, no amount of cyber security can top a well-trained dog.

Looks like the CS format is the same. I'll go ahead and drop Gunther here.

EDIT: Awesome, good to go. Friendly reminder that you guys need to post CS sheets here for the GM to approve before posting them in the Characters tab, and post here in the OOC if you decide to make any major edits.
