Loosly (he/him) (Bystander/Accomplished)

Lossly should never have been involved with this. His resume was the poster child for bright-but-lazy, with a dozen hourly or entry level jobs that he ended up leaving after a year or so. He was delivering package this time, pulling an overnight shift for the OT pay and driving out to a nondescript office building on the edge of the city. Once inside though he found himself walking along walls and reaching through one door and out an unconnected entryway. The Escherscape change his life; he couldn't return to the normal grind after that. He was determined to discover the limits of this simulation -- and break them.

Skills - Driving d8, Persuasion d8, Running d8, Sleight of Hand d8. Exploit - Move Gear - Nondescript change of clothes, burner phone, multitool. Link - The Escherscape was one of Meta's ops. Hideout - Mobile (the same delivery van as before).

Corlan

Meta has always been a little strange. Most people had two reasons to thinks so - most of his salary going on rare strange ingredients for his cooking, and his refusal to dismiss any conspiracy theory until he had investigated it himself. Always an avid gamer, he specialised in trying to find item duping hacks, and was very surprised one day when trying one out in real life - it worked. Since then, he's dedicated himself to finding other exploits in the simulation, ways to make things work for him (a shortage of rare ingredients is no longer a problem).
