Due to the Captain's incessant nagging, here it is. Hopefully the first of a long line. And what better way to start than my personal character. Most of the chronicles I've played in were part of a post-apocalyptic Gainesville setting that's been running for years, that started with several of my friends making characters that reflected themselves. Most of the people who've played in the setting have likewise continued the tradition and I'm no exception. So without further adieu, here ya go:



History and Development
His Awakening
As a sleeper, Koba was drawn to 3D design. His first exposure to magick was when he passed out on his laptop one night, after a long sleep deprived haze. When he woke up he's typed a strange code into the personal scripts input for his design program. Figuring, "What the hell. If it screws something up, I'll just delete it," he pressed enter. The first change he found was that one of the "Export" destinations was "My Room." It had a thumbnail image he'd never taken or seen before of, in fact, his room exactly as it currently was. A few minutes design and a click on that button later, he was the very confused owner of the shoddily made sword that appeared next to him, identical to the one on his screen.

[His avatar first manifested in the Technomantic form of a burst of inspiration. He Awakened with Prime 3, Matter 3 and initially used his computer as a focus to build "Platonic Ideal" patterns, and apply matter to them.]

His Early Awakened Life
The recoded program quickly expanded and took over his entire laptop, integrating with his OS. His avatar took the form of an AI Kitsune-Kami embedded within the system. Seeking online for answers, he inevitably stumbled upon Virtual Adept sites and forums. After a description of his case, it was obvious he was Awakened, and they explained the "state of the world." Other Traditions, Technocracy scum, yada yada, the whole thing from their perspective. One VR equipment design-made-real later, he joined the ranks of the VAs.

He started Studying Correspondence and Entropy from the other VAs where he hung out on the Digital Web. He also started seeking out as much Prime Theory and info on Matter pattern magick as he could find. During external forays into the world, he started charting and mapping ley lines seeking out nodes. While learning the extent of his gift, his studies developed into a strange paradigm.

Paradigm
At this point, he started to view the world as a collection of pattern “code” that could be read like any other. Basically, he found and began to understand the code that the universe was written in. At the beginning, he could only read and write the pattern code that had to do with matter. Prime, he saw as the base energy that powers the code.

His Masterpiece Work
After realizing that he could create almost anything he wanted, what he really wanted was a computer. Not just any computer though, but one the likes of which had never been developed before. Something that could fill his every whim and shape ‘the Matrix” as he now jokingly called the Tellurian, better than before. He studied the latest in Nanotech from as many diverse sources as he could, even willing to discuss it with Technocrats, as long as they didn’t cause him any trouble. (He lost points over that one a bit with the VAs.)

Once he understood enough of the principals, he set about creating his own NanoColony. With his own body as a vessel, they laid down tech all over his body. Transceivers in his optic nerves let the system overlay his vision with the visuals of the system, including “sights” in the spheres he’d learned. The system linked directly with his brain, so it was mostly controlled by vague thoughts. More complex actions could be “typed” onto any available surface on a keyboard visual overlay, or through gestures. “Builder” bots could create new bots designed for new functions on the fly. With the new system, he could manipulate pattern code in 3D realtime, making it much faster and more adaptive. Plus, he had music plugged directly into his brain. You don’t get quality much better than that.


NanoColony
CPU: The main system is located throughout his whole body. Any excess space is used for housing bots with functions for memory, or processing, or whatever else needs to be done. This was the first system to be made. Bots fused with nerves throughout his body provide the input for the system. All sensory and muscle nerves can be read or written to. Bots interface directly with his brain, providing most of the control of the system through thoughts. Naturally, there are a ton of safety measures in place. Backup groups for all main and periphery bots are kept throughout his body in case one fails. This is his main focus for his Prime.

“Builder” Bots: The second type to be created, these bots are his focus for Matter. They can build, redistribute, and restructure matter on an atomic level, turning one material into another, and building new structures “out of thin air,” though, really, they’re just building it from scratch matter at an atomic level.


Preffered Effects
Name: Copy/Paste (Rote)              Spheres: Ma 3, Pr 3, Co 1
Description: Can copy Matter patterns into storage, and make copies of them later. Prime is used to read and save the pattern as a kind of blueprint, Matter is used to change scratch matter into the base materials and build the object, and Core is used to help make sure all components are the right size and scale to fit together. For large or complex objects, can be done as an extended roll. An advanced Builder colony in his backpack lowers the difficulty of Pasting things to the inside of it by 1. (For this reason, he calls it his “Bag of Infinite Holding” since it just happens to have whatever he needs.)
