Powers

Augmentations - fit with four replaced limbs after a terrifying accident as a youth, these limbs are courtesy of a combination of Alabaster and Sarif technologies. He also has a head jack, enhancements for reflexes, and the like, buried into his body without being visible. However, his arms and legs *require upkeep and he must almost constantly be sipping on energy drinks or munching high-caloric foods if he's doing any strenuous activities or even while doing deep cybernetic dives into computer systems as this costs a lot of internal energy. And for the record, yes he asked for this, particularly after realizing what a cool job he could get once he was healed up. The alternate limb appearances are 'in progress' since they were originally plain and have been fancied up by Sarif one at a time. All of these have the above stat changes but also aid in other ways.

-- Quick Fingers - He types like a maniac when he does use a keyboard and mouse, and you don't want to be an opponent in any video game where quick reflexes are required. Even without 'cheating' his hand-eye coordination is ridiculously good

-- Interface With Any Compatible Computer System - with 'compatible' being a key factor, being at CHS has allowed him to figure out ways to improve from the existing two or three operating systems, and branch out to actively connect to living AI individuals whether they have a physical form or not, as well as doing his own work privately with both companies black-ops [redacted] cybernetics divisions

Clusters

Computer Animation +4 With or without his augmented ability to code aiding him, Defrag is simply amazing with different methods of creating beautiful art with a computer. Whether it's rigging a 3D model of a dragon for a video game, or outfitting a VR experience with believable scenery, he has a vast array of techniques and a huge research folder in his Hyperlab for textures, code bits, and stock footage to tap

Security Coding +3 With the blessing of two major cybernetics and computer companies, Defrag is very capable of professional analysis of a location and their security system. Though some might assume that he 'got his job' by breaking and entering, that's far from the truth. He is too artistic for that! He knows how to subtly blend physical visuals with holograms, how to shield sensitive information from intrusive code, and many other sneaky or not-so-sneaky techniques. He is definitely still on hand to start funneling in students who might show promise either with defenses or with their errant activities, right toward either Sarif or Alabaster depending on how 'physical' they tend to be

Skills

Light and Color +3 His designs are amazing, and he can balance a mid model with strong textures and lighting to create a better VR venue or your new V-tube avatar. He does tend toward hinting that 'realism isn't always needed', beacuse he honestly believes that a virtual 'person' should look virtual, until they're a real person with or without a physical body...

Spends Time With Everyone In Cyberspace +3 His 'office' in the Hyperlabs is almost always changing, he'll make records of who likes what parts - who needs open and sunny windows, which instructor prefers traditional desk and lamps, how much background sound and static are produced when another non-physical entity is in the system. So if you've been to his office once, you won't recognize what it looks like to other people, for sure! He enjoys redecorating for any given person or group, and can pass these pieces of information along to physical decorators particularly for the staff parties and events in the Danger Room. He has a Hyperlab (D-001) and also an office with the PE department. However his classes, while seemingly similar to some Science and Mathematics courses, are all with an artistic eye rather than purely a code or research method. He can and does substitute for several teachers (specifically the Virtual Realm Maintanence and Computational Topology courses) but prefers the more artsy side of it all

A Quick Study +3 As a student he was clearly quite smart, and now he's able to apply knowledge and whimsy in equal amounts. Do you have a new technique to use that pressure-sensitive stylus? He'll definitely be watching. Cut down on the number of lines of code while maintaining the same level of quality? Oh absolutely!

Knacks

Strong Sense Of Duty +3 Though he knows that there are [redacted] things going on at both companies he's working with, they know better than to put him on some offensive or intrusive duties aside from testing their own security systems. He is not quite 'lawful good' but he's very close

Prematurely Grey? No, Those Are His Optical Ports +3 He's far too young to have that much grey hair, and since it's not hair, he digs it when people look at him with either that 'awe of teenage respect' or 'harrmuph I earned my grey hair the hard way'. Those ports do function in tandem with his actual head-jack, and faintly glow in the dark - or brightly glow in the dark, if he's at an event or a nightclub!

Desirably Doesn't Reject Cybernetics +3 Medically, he's a wonder, and Sarif knows this. While not so much an issue in some dimensions, rejection of cybernetics and augmentations is a terrible problem, so part of his deal with them is 'for his DNA'. It would also be of quite a bit of interest to the Zekirans here looking for ways to improve the fertility as well as other powers of their people, since their psionics entirely stop working if even a simple implant disrupts their nervous system!

Hatched  
Pets? He likes cyberpets quite a bit, and one 'constant' in his office are the 'tanks' that display a variety of them from different online games or even student projects
Partners? He's looking at a few people with great interest, though it's not always reciprocated
Children? None yet, but he will certainly be contributing to Zekiran genes once they work out all their weird legal contracts for him
