<ul class="bbc_list"></ul><div class="floatright">(https://i.imgur.com/aH3M4Vr.jpegr)</div><strong>Character:</strong>Chikao/Choko Tanaka<br/><strong>Player:</strong>Angie<br/><br/><strong>Lifepath:</strong>Street Kid<br/><strong>Role:</strong>Fixer<br/><strong>Specialties:</strong><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Hacking: Her skill ever since she was younger and got her first cyberdeck, Choko is ridiculously quick on the hack and can make even the best security systems feel like tissue paper. She doesn't use it as much, though.</li><li>Decryption: Choko likes picking apart encrypted systems, to the point where she would do it for other teams for a quick paycheck. Learned a lot of things that corpos would rather keep hidden.</li><li>Dug In: Choko has encrypted, hidden access to many corporate message boards and chatrooms. Often times, she's aware of corpos needing a team or a merc long before anything official happens. Originally she did this to keep eyes on corpo interests, but now she does it because it helps her set up deals.</li></ul><br/><strong>Personality:</strong><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Awkward: Having spent most of her time running the net, she's not all that good talking with people. Encounters in virtual space tend to be much more fluid.</li><li>Paranoid: A life of fending for herself has left Choko very paranoid, and while she's shaken it off in recent years, she is still slow to trust, and quick to assume the worst.</li><li>Attempted Grace: Choko really attempts to put on an air of refinement and grace. This fails often, and tends to be more effective in phone conversations or other, virtual environments. Some find the effort charming, though.</li></ul><br/><strong>History:</strong><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Early Life: Street Kid: Choko spent her early life as Chikao, born to a Tyger Claw father and a braindance addicted mother. Neither parent did much in the way of raising him, so instead, Chikao ended up falling in with a netrunner gang. He took to it pretty well, ended up going solo after getting better than the gang was and wanting to strike out on his own. Plus, he had a goal, one that the gang wasn't interested in...</li><li>Corporate Running: As part of his goals, Chikao hit a large number of corporate subnets. This, combined with some very scary rumors he picked up in the abandoned street corners he called home, led to him constantly looking over his shoulder for corporate agents or netrunners tracking him down. He got lucky, got skilled, and ended up never having to worry about it, aside from the one or two jobs that went sideways. This allowed him to pursue his true goals.<br/></li><li>Becoming Choko: Chikao put aside a large amount of eddies, a little bit after each run, whatever he didn't need to use. Eventually, he was able to pay for extensive cosmetic surgery and cyberware to transform him into the body he dreamed of. He took the name Choko on the completion of her transformation, keeping only her original cyberdeck marked with her old name as a memento.</li><li>Now: Choko acts as a fixer, primarily for other netrunners and hackers looking for work. Plenty of corpo jobs require discretion...</li></ul><br/><strong>Relationships/Connections:</strong>(Mostly first impressions for now)<br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Jack: I don't know why he dresses like he stepped off the set of 'Cyber Ninja: Snake Eater', but it works for him, I guess. I dress like a geisha, after all. His biggest advantage is he lies so much and his sense of humor is so dry, he could flat out admit the truth to someone and they'd never believe him. I have him earmarked for anything that requires someone who can keep their mouth shut.</li><li>Redbeard: If anyone in Night City was a gentle giant, this loveable gonk is it. I've seen the corpo security feeds of what happens when he goes to work, and I've seen him casually chat up the guy at the noodle stand right outside my apartment without a care in the world. I've yet to need him. I hope I never do.</li><li>N0liss: No idea why a Nomad would willingly choose to come to Night City. I guess the roads aren't as free of corpo pigs as I wish they were. Still, she's got some real netrunning skills. Reminds me of myself, back in the day. Must find out if she codes her own.</li><li>Karma: Originally, I didn't trust her-you can take the doc out of the Corpo, but you can't take the Corpo out of the doc, you know the rest. But she earned her rep the old fashioned way, and after a little bit of netrunning against her, found out she doesn't keep records. That intrigued me. Might go to her the next time my 'ware needs a tune up. <br/></li><li>Other Fixers: Every fixer knows every other fixer, and if they don't know you, then you're not worth knowing. Luckily, most of them know me, at least in passing. I stay out of their way, out of their biz, and they come to me when their intel networks lack a particular specialty. They offer me the same courtesy.</li><li>Wakako: You don't do biz in Japantown without running into Wakako. I ended up here because I wanted to live here-it's a nice place. Ever had the sushi? Something about the synth-fish they use is juuuust right. I knew her from back in my days of netrunning, I expected to need to apologize for all my runs against the Claws, but she simply told me if I was able to get one over on them, then they deserved it. We quickly recognized we ran in different circles when it came to fixing, my specialties and hers didn't have much overlap, so our relationship is just biz.</li><li>Rogue: For the most part, I'm completely beneath her notice. For now, that suits me fine. Hopefully, I stay unnoticed, and don't end up on her bad side.</li></ul><br/><strong>Additional Details:</strong><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li></li><li></li><li></li></ul>[/list]
