<strong>Name:</strong>Corrie (Courier 7.1...Don't ask where the original six are.)<br/><strong>Character Type:</strong>Basic<br/><strong>Age:</strong>New<br/><strong>Function:</strong>Experimental Data Transport Protocol (Hacker Program)<br/><strong>Appearance:</strong>A somewhat short female program with an almost boyish build. Lithe, wiry, somewhat muscular...Streamlined in a way that her lightsuit's 'racing strip' markings tend to emphasize. Spare of hip and bosom, just barely curvy enough to be decidedly female even from the rear. High cheekbones, dark eyes, dark hair tied back in a ponytail. Tends to lean forward when communicating with other programs and has an assertive 'don't-get-in-my-way-because-I'm-not-stopping' type of walk.<br/><br/><strong>Powers and Talents:</strong>Baton Combat (1), Grid Sense (1), Grid Shaping (1), Light Runner Driving (1), Reflexes (1), Tactics (1)<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Loud. Overconfident. Cocky. Eager and unrestrained. Gets frustrated by any sort of denial or access control programs. Constantly trying to figure out alternate ways (not necessarily efficient ways!) to get<em>over there</em>. Treats any form of blockage or barricade as a challenge to her ingenuity. She carries<em>important data</em>sometimes and it might need to go<em>anywhere</em>. Has a faintly lilting Irish Gaelic accent for reasons that probably only make sense to her Programmer.<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong><em>Pre-Rez RL Coding History (which the program itself is entirely unaware of): The Courier series of communication transport protocols were an early attempt to increase connectivity speed by deviating from common standards ("That last pin-out is only used for data checking, right? So if we're confident that data corruption isn't a problem what's to stop us from using that as one more data pipeline?" - Overheard IRL during a discussion of a peripheral interface. The obvious answer: "It screws with the standard protocol for anything else using that port, that's why."). Unfortunately, most ways to create faster communications involve bypassing things...Like checksums, verification, firewalls by accessing through ports meant for other data, intruding on other software's RAM allocation, etc. Software designed to do this is a boon to hackers and something security-conscious admins are forever trying to step on.</em>
