IC acts as hostile NPCs that draw initiative, make attacks, use programs and can take damage and be crashed itself (acting either as an Extra or as a Wild Card depending on the Tier, etc.).

	There are two features of the IC -- this 'type' (White, Grey or Black) and its Rankings level. The Host's Security Tier somewhat determines the IC's Ranking as lower Tier Hosts cannot handle the massive processing required for higher Ranking IC. Think of Types as how willing a IC is to kill you and Ranking as how danagerous it is in a fight (a White IC might be super dangerous to your Persona but not your meat body or cyberdeck).
