<div class="floatright">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/9/9c/Evanpeters9.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Seth Laramie Kittredge III (not even the crew is aware of this name, he doesn't give it freely)<br/><strong>Nickname (if any):</strong>He has a number of aliases and nicknames, the handle he prefers his friends to use is Jupiter or 'Jupe'.<br/><strong>Loyalty:</strong>himself, his crew, his fellow information liberators<br/><strong>Shipboard Role and/or Rank:</strong>Cortex Wizard/Electronics techie<br/><strong>Former Military Rank:</strong>None<br/><strong>Creed (if any):</strong>Your lies will always catch up with you and if I can help that along I will.<br/><strong>Strength:</strong>Cortex Ghost -- Jupiter no longer exists on the net. He has managed to wipe out his identity and even an Alliance patrol wouldn't get an ID on him if stopped. He has many aliases and false IDs, any one of which may be active at any given time as he tends to cycle through them. These IDs are very carefully constructed and hard to pinpoint as forged so he takes great care not to 'contaminate' them so they can continue to be used.<br/><strong>Weakness:</strong>Is lacking in any real combat skill. He carries a taser in hopes he can catch somebody by surprise if he gets in a bind but he's not the first guy you'd want beside you in a fight.<br/><br/><strong>Character Skills:</strong><br/><em>Hacking:</em>The cortex is his playground and he plays anywhere he wants.<br/><em>Electronics:</em>Don't ask him to fix an engine but he's a whiz with electronic systems like cortex terminals, coms, etc).<br/><em>Forgery:</em>Any kind of 'papers' you  need he can make it look good.<br/><em>Influence/Manipulation:</em>Not just skilled with a keyboard, he's good at talking his way in and out of things.<br/><em>Security Systems:</em>How to beat 'em, how to set up good ones.<br/><em>Customs and Cultures:</em>Wherever he ends up he has a good grasp of what makes each world unique and what to look out for.<br/><br/><strong>Legal Status:</strong>A couple of his past aliases are wanted by the law but he's retired them.  Seth Laramie Kittredge III is wanted by the law, and worse, Blue Sun, but he does a pretty good job of scrubbing the notices on himself.<br/><br/><strong>Character Background:</strong>Jupiter was something of a golden boy in his youth. The only son of a high ranking Blue Sun executive, he was doted on by his mother and two younger sisters and pretty much had the world on a silver platter.  A citizen of Ariel, he went to the  best schools and from a very young age exhibited a technical aptitude that was well beyond the norm. His father encouraged developing this trait, not once considering that his son might not follow in his footsteps. In fact, by the time Jupiter entered college, he was already working for Blue Sun and there was no reason to think he wouldn't excel there. The problem was that Jupiter was absolutely, positively obsessed with<em>knowing</em>. Once he figured out he had the skill to take a peek at almost anything he wanted, few of Blue Sun's secrets were safe and the more he found out, the more indignant he became. Though one of the privileged class, he nevertheless had a sense of outrage with what they were getting away with and soon decided it was a moral imperative to muck them up. He bided his time and honed his skill until he was ready then set a worm loose to attack some files related to a project he found particularly loathsome and disappeared.<br/><br/>He prefers to stay nomadic now and joining the crew of a ship seemed to be an ideal solution. While he could make himself wealthy hacking bank accounts, that's not the sort of thing that interests him and anyway, money is too easy to trace and stealing it draws too much attention so he's content to work for a living...as much as he ever 'works' at least. There are still signs in his demeanor and his taste in clothing of his wealthy background but he's certainly no snob and relishes his exposure to different cultures and lifestyles.<br/><br/><strong>Equipment:</strong><br/>DataBook<br/>Commlink<br/>Reprogrammer<br/>Fedband Scanner<br/>Punchpad<br/><br/>(@ 300 credits remaining)<br/>
