Editing Declan Dority (section)

==Background==
Declan "Dec" Dority was raised in the worst part of the Eavesdown slums on Persephone.  His mother tried her best, but a combination of a felony record and a problem with drops meant that she had little ability to care for Dec and his eight brothers and sisters.  Dec's never known his father (or, except perhaps briefly, the fathers of his various siblings).  

Dec's disadvantaged upbringing, however, couldn't hide his innate facility with mathematics and computers.  From occasional minutes defrauded from Cortex cafes, stolen or salvaged computer parts, and money he'd earned doing a variety of illegal or semi-legal activities, Dec managed to carve out a skill set for himself. He intends to turn his natural talents and hard-earned skill to the creation of a technology empire, background be damned.

But, first, he needs to live.  And for that he needs money.  There not being much work for gutter trash with a juvenile record on Persephone, Dec set out to find work on a ship while saving money to start his own business.  (Or steal one; he's not picky.)
