As it so happens I am a great fan of cyberpunk luminaries like William Gibson, Neal Stephenson, and Bruce Sterling (as well as their numerous forerunners).
Therefore (and perhaps unsurprisingly) I, Vigfast, would at this time like to expresses a particular interest in the first option presented.
I would also, for the record, like to express my deep affection for the more critical approach to selecting characters for an RP (for writing is an art where speed is truly not life).
Edit: Completely Off-Topic: "Tinker, builder, hacker, thief"...George Smiley would be pleased.
