20 Questions[ Spoiler ]
1) What's your heritage? Amerind; both parents are natives of the Salish-Shidhe
2) What would your parents say about you? His parents are traditionalists who shun technology and are disappointed with their son's obsession; they feel it is a weakness in him and a failing for themselves as parents that they could not show him the true path
3) What historical events does your character remember? The Crash of '64 and subsequent emergence of the Matrix 2.0 has been a major influence in his life obviously. He's been around for various other historical events but he was so often lost in his little digital world that it didn't touch him that much, with the exception of the events at Renraku Arcology for which he was more just fascinated by the existence of a true AI.
4) How did you get into shadowrunning, and why? At an early age he was attracted to all things tech, AR in particular sucked him down the rabbit hole; often he would travel to Council Island with his parents (his Grandfather is a member of the council) and there he caught glimpses of the wider world of tech; in his later teens he befriend a corporate envoy you routinely traveled to Council Island and when he finally left home to escape his parents' techno-phobia he ended up working for that same corporation. Their rules were too rigid for him now that he was finally rebelling against his upbringing. And so he turned to the shadows
5) What is your living space like? While working for the corporation, he adopted all things city; his clothes are all corporate oriented leaning towards suits rather than business casual. He hasn't been that successful as a runner, so his apartment isn't in the best of areas, but he always keeps it trendy and impecably clean and minimalist in decorations
6) What are your beliefs / convictions (if any) and why do you hold them? He's young at 22 and still learning who he is; considering his history; his convictions that technology is everything and the traditions of the past are worthless overrules most everything else in his life
7) what do you think is your most annoying / worst trait? the oversized headphones that he constantly wears even when at business meetings is probably what most annoys people about him. listening to music on these headphones was his first introduction to music and it still holds his attention; in fact, it's where he gets his streetname from; he's constantly listening to music, bobbing his head to the beat, tapping his foot when he sits, putting a bit more motion in his steps as he walks
What megacorp do you like the most? the Least? Why? Henry has a love/hate relationship with Mitsuhama. On the one hand he is grateful for getting his start with them; on the other hand he hates them for stealing his idea and making such a huge profit off of it while giving him squat. On the third virtual hand, they are also where most of his runs thus far have come from via his exec friend. He mistrusts any corp that is heavily involved in the business of magic, particularly Aztlan.
9) How did you come to know your contacts?Henry has 3 contacts, Masuko is the Mitsuhama exec that initially recruitted him and got him out of his parents house, for which he is eternally grateful. So much so that they are still in regular contact despite Henry's ill-will towards Mitsuhama at large.
Reed Caspa, is the DJ of one of the best clubs in town and he also does some work as a fixer on the side. Henry became friends with him because of how often he frequents that particular club. They would often discuss music together and eventually Reed starting sending the occasional shadowrun Henry's way.
Henry has also gained the frequent services of a backstreet cyberdoc where he has been getting some second-hand 'ware to boost his hacking skills. They generally have a strictly business relationship, but with how often Henry's come looking for new gear he is willing to share a few tidbits of info when he can.
10) What do you do on a day off? he mostly hangs out at underground clubs at night, listening to the music while he surfs the 'trix
11) How did you come to learn your skills at your present proficiency? all his spare time/energy while living with his parents was dedicated to learning about tech, learning the ins and outs of the Matrix once he was able to get his hands on a commlnk, he was further taught by the corp he worked for once he left them
12) Are there any moral limits on what jobs you take or things you'll do? mostly he will be a pacifist, chosing to only ever fight if he has to and even then he will only use non-lethal weapons; he wants everybody to be allowed to be what they want to be; ending life would put a stop to that; so he would refuse any sort of wetwork
13) How do you view magic / technomantic abilities? he has great disdain for magic, sees it as an extension of the traditions his parents tried to push on him. technomancy is another thing though. He wishes he could become part of the technology the way technomancers can
14) How do you view augmentation / implantation? augmentation is a wonderful thing; it's a "seamless" integration between flesh and tech
15) What do you think of ordinary life and those who live it? ordinary people are cool with him, he just knows that kind of life isn't for him. but if that what floats your boat, go for it
16) What would be a bad nightmare for you? Any deep-rooted fears? Why is it so frightening to you? his deepest fears would be to be denied access to tech; to be banned from the Matrix; to be forced to live the traditional life of his parents
17) What is your 'sacred object' or 'close one', and how did they become so important to you? his headphones even more than his commlink are sacred to him. As I mentioned it was his first introduction to tech and he's kept them in perfect working ordering over the years, whereas he's constantly tinkering with his commlink, upgrading it, formatting it to put in new OS/software
18) What did you want to become as a child, and what are your goals now? he wanted to become a techno god! yeah he knows that childish, but he still wishes it could be so. he doesn't have much of a long term plan/goal he's just working to keep food on the table and concert tickets in his pocket
19) What does your character look like, and what inspired her choices? think i already went over this with his living arrangements, he tends to dress rather well, especially considering his circumstances; though he is never without his bulky headphones that are somewhat worn with age
20) How did you get your street name? already described this earlier
[ Spoiler ]
Born in 2050, Henry Rejaenpe was a typical child of the Sixth world. He was fascinated by technology and thought his parents were just too old to get it when they tried to tell him that technology is not all there is. Still, they indulged him when he was young. Even going so far as buying him his own cyberdeck at the age of 10.
But then came the disaster of the Renraku Arcology. The same day of his birthday, the Arcologoy was put into lock down. It was a long time before news of the true horrors inside the Arcology came out, but when they did Henry's parents freaked out about their son's obsession with tech. They took away his shiny new cyberdeck and began to severely limit his access to the Matrix and other "dangerous" tech.
The Year of the comet was a tumultuous one. It finally convinced his parents to move back to their homeland, Salish-Shidhe, the following year. Henry hated this change as it took him away from everything he knew and loved. Sure the Salish aren't a backward people, they have tech, but in his mind all their green-tech was just fighting against the beautiful of unadulterate technology.
When the Crash 2.0 of '64 happened, his parents knew they had to take extreme measures with their son. They legally changed his name to Tlalin and began taking him to Council Island more often to visit with his very traditional father, a shaman and member of the Council itself.
This just served to push Henry (he refused to acknowledge the name Tlalin) further away. It also made him more secretive about how he began to learn the inner workings of the new Matrix. He began to constantly wear a pair of oversized headphones, loving the music that had always been part of his life, but more importantly it allowed him to keep the world at large at bay while he quitely sat around coding and surfing the 'trix.
During his visit to Council Island there was one bright spot though. The island had relatively frequent traffic from the "real" city, Seattle. In particular, Henry befriended a young corporate exec who often came to meet with the Council regarding Tsimshian(which Mitsuhama had ostensibly pulled out of in '65) and other matters. Eventually the exec recruited Henry and brought him to Seattle after seeing some of Henry's programming skills. It was against his parents' wishes, but at this point Henry was 18 and they couldn't stop him.
Three years working for Mitsuhama gave Henry a strong desire for the luxuries of the modern world. The clothes, the lifestyle, the clubs, he loved it all. But he hated the restrictions of working in the corporate environment, they kept trying to take away his headphones and make him actually listen to the boring ass meetings that are a constant of the corporate wolrd. When they then took his coolest idea ever, an agent that ran on your commlink and analyzed your mood/behavior/environment to give a literal soundtrack to your life in real-time, with hardly a thank you; he had enough. He used his hacking skills to edit his way into some corporate money and to erase any data the company had on him as he made his way into the shadows.
The man who recruited him, knew what was happening but was grateful enough for the big promotion he got from "his" life's soundtrack program that he let it pass and even gives Henry jobs from time to time.
Henry hasn't been that successful in the shadows thus far. Still he's managed to setup a nice life for himself filled with clubbing, coding, and the occasional excitement of the shadow world that pays the bills and gets the thrills.
