Character Owner: | The_Alpha_Gibbon |
Name: | 67.402.119 |
Street name: | LIGHT |
Archetype: | Rogue ICE |
Race: | Computer Software |
Appearance: | As a program, LIGHT has no appearance. But it usually appears before victims and others at which times it usually uses one of five distinct personas.
|
Personality: | Very methodical, like a computer. Operates quickly and efficiently. Forgets nothing.
|
Virtues: | * Has almost complete mastery over the MATRIX and computers in general. Can do what it wishes, electronically. It has made lesser copies of itself to to it's bidding. They are essentially ICEs, only it calls them GLOWs.
1) Tall Male Human. Dressed in a business suit. Looks very formal. 2) Female Elf. Old-fashioned common clothes. Looks ordinary. 3) Male Ork. Tall, though not for an Ork, dressed in battle clothes. Serves to confuse (who would expect an Ork to be in the MATRIX?) or intimidate. 4) Genderless Demon. Huge, covered with weapons, serves only to intimidate and provoke fear. 5) Hazy, indistinct form, represents lines of coding. Perhaps the expected form of a computer program. |
Flaws: | * Can do absolutely nothing in the physical/astral worlds. Lacks true intelligence and originality, does not actually come up with new ideas.
|
Background: | In response to the VirtualOctopus idea brought forward, Digital Guardian Corp began to develop a series of "Super ICEs". Most of these programs failed and were scrapped. However, they finally developed a Special ICE, who referred to itself as LIGHT. LIGHT soon evolved beyond all it's expectations though, and turned on it's creators fleeing into the MATRIX. Realizing the danger of the project, DGC immediately stopped the program and scrapped all they could find. But LIGHT escaped and kept evolving until it became guardian and master of the MATRIX and computers in general. It uses a variety of personas to wander the MATRIX and employs incredible Attack/ Deception and many more programs. To keep itself hidden from those who hunt it, it only performs those tasks which regular ICEs perform - hunting mercenaries and hackers but it is much more powerful than this. It also has the ability to enter any computer and rigger vehicle. In these ways, it can Attack hackers/riggers/and other who use computers. It can delete files/programs at will, including other ICEs. It generally only attacks those who are breaking the rules, but occasionally attacks the innocent as well. Can project it's MATRIX persona onto computer screens.
