Since filling the 36 slots up seems to be going slowly, and since I just remembered how fondly I remember this character, here's another submission for you to take up if you will.
Character name:Shinji "Docko" Oko
Description:Shinji is a Japanese everyman on first sight. He falls nicely into the mean for most of those pesky demographic things. Average height, average build. The cybereyes with brown lenses and short, sleek black hair -generally spiked nowadays, to go for that racy look in with the younger adults nowadays-asians are known for. With none of those pesky mutations to make him anything but human. He might be a bit young at 28, but he doesn't look a year younger or older. He even has the datajack implanted behind his right ear that so characterises sararimen who've been in it for longer than the large scale advent of trodenets. He fit right in when he was a surgeon and cybertech student, working in one of Neo-Tokyo's large hospitals: A Crashcart clinic.
When he was in one of his final years of university though, Crash 2.0 happened, and both his parents, who also worked here, fell victim to AIPS. After visiting them dutifully for some time, they suddenly were transferred to another hospital under Yamatetsu's umbrella, while Shinji was visiting a friend out of the Chiba district. A pang of fear gripped him as he met dead end after dead end trying to trace them, until he finally managed to speak to someone, while he intially thought he didn't have a connection at all. This voice, even though it sounded strange, made it clear that Yamatetsu was out for him as well, and he raced to get as far from Neo-Tokyo as he could.
The friend mentioned someone in a local Yakuza that could help him, who agreed to get him onboard a suborbital to Europe first thing, in exchange for extended services as a doctor in a fresh operation of theirs in Europort. He's lived there ever since, doing shadowrunning jobs while working to patch up Yakuza in the mean time, and getting to grip with the strange reality in which the voice he spoke to turned out to be a Data Sprite he had called out of somewhere or something called the Resonance. And while Motsu still gives him headaches from time to time, it's put him on the path of an elusive figure only known as The Archivist, leading him on a wild goose chase through the Matrix and Resonance alike, in hopes of finding anything about his parents. Thankfully, he has all of the data he comes across safely locked away. Nothing will elude him this time. And Motsu is more than happy to sift through all of it like Scrooge McDuck through his money.
He's undergone some more bodymodification since then though. After losing use of his arm after running into an obstacle (or rather half a magazine full of them) he had his left arm replaced with a cybernetic one from the shoulder down, which he and a friend have modded out fairly extensively over the years. It's bulked out a bit from the dimensions of your normal cyberarm, and especially the lower arm looks like a
comic caricature with all the gadgets in the hand. It has snake fingers, each one ending in a different tool: a miniwelder, a mini chainsaw, a vacuum pump, a multitool, and even an endoscope to be extended from the pinky.
As far as clothing goes, Docko will not be caught without his armored longcoat, acid proofed to keep from getting soaked in the Dutch rain, and ruthenium coated, but usually showing a stark hospital white. He'll tend to wear a toolbelt over it, with a few pouches to keep medical supplies and hardware tinkering tools in. Underneath, he usually wears a set of his comfortable sararimen blouse and pants.
Because once you grow into those, you never really grow back out.
