*NOTE* I hope I got this right...as an Otaku, my Physical Attribute caps drop by 1 and my Mental caps raise by one, allowing me to start with a max of 5 in any physical attribute and a 7 in any Mental. Now, since I set all my physical attributes at 1, the cap for the physical attributes lowers by another 1 making it 4 max for any physical attribute, and the cap for mental attributes raises to 8. I also get 2 bonux attribute points which I can't use for anything. Maybe I should've gone for BP...

Also, I bought him some armor so he has something to hide under until he can find a table if a meet goes sour or something. Otherwise, he's going to be at a jackpoint somewhere and never physically on a run if he can help it. For those keeping score, I spent all 5,000¥ starting Otaku get. Also, does the 10% I get off computer parts because of the Medium lifestyle Tribe apply at chargen?
Lifestyle: Low *NOTE* Medium lifestyle Tribe + PC living with Tribe = Low Lifestyle for PC, correct? Do I still have to pay upkeep on the lifestyle, and if so, as a Low or Medium?
Contacts: Data Broker *NOTE* Someone to sell paydata to, like a Matrix Fixer. I really wanted to get Shadowland or The Nexus as a contact, but that's a Level 2 contact, and you can't get those with only 5,000¥ when you still need to buy stuff.
Fixer
Born and abandoned on the streets as a baby, Naruto never knew his real name (if he ever had one). He was taken in by a Japanese ork named Sakura who has fled Japan after goblinizing. She raised Vash as best she could, making sure he was fed. He learned to read very quickly, and became obsessed with the old anime and manga Sakura had brought with her from Japan. After exhausting her small supply, he found that he could get copies off the Matrix after getting online at the public library one afternoon. He found an old broken deck someone had tossed away and quickly repared it, allowing him to roam around the Matrix on his own using stolen jackpoints.
One night when he was 10, he returned home to find his squat ablaze with Sakura inside and several Humanis members laughing at her screams as she burned to death. He didn't know what else to do, so he hid until they left, but making sure to memorize their faces. He wandered the streets for a month, living off of half-eaten Nuke 'Em Burgers and begging from strangers. He was found trying to use his cobbled-together deck trying to access a jackpoint by an Otaku who recognized his potential. He was brought into the Tribe and taken care of. Through them, he experienced the Deep Resonnance and became an Otaku.
He quickly put his newfound abilities to the test, tracked down all seven men who murdered Sakura and the others at the squat. He systematically did anything he could to ruin their lives, driving one to suicide and killing two others in a "freak accident" at their jobs on the docks, causing an automated forklift to run over them. The other four were financially ruined and disappeared from the grid entirely. Ever since, he has had a strong hatred for Humanis and other racist groups.
Now 15 and taking on the name of his favorite manga character from Sakura's collection (Naruto), he has started accepting freelance decking jobs in order to help out the Tribe and further explore the being that is The Matrix.
Naruto resembles strongly the character by that name, being about 5'8" tall with blond hair that always seems to spike up everywhere and green eyes. His icon in the Matrix is that of the manga character he so resembles. When engaged in cybercombat, his eyes turn red. His Attack complex form takes the shape of flying shuriken. *NOTE* I know the Otaku's icon is supposed to be an idealized physical form, but I figure for an Otaku that's also an otaku, his idealized form would be himself as a manga character. I also know it's kinda a cliched background, but I thought it explained all his skills and whatnot rather well.
