Battered old custom-built Sony CTY-360 ("Shitty-360") cyberdeck

Programs:

* HeadASplode FPS attack software - main weapon in Matrix combat; takes the form of Nyxandra Aerinaeith's signature chromed Ares Viper from the hit tridshow "Siversakhan Verespitish"

* GlitzNGlamour 4.0 defense software - makes it harder for opponents to run programs against Nyxxie's persona; takes the form of a blinding, strobing light (set to a house beat, of course), with Nyxxie's persona as the mirrorball

* Setec Astronomy decryption software - sensor utility which defeats scramble IC that may turn data into garbage as a defense mechanism; takes the form of whorls of stars, planets, comets, and assorted celestial bodies that Nyxxie's persona blows from her hand, infusing the IC with calming, orbiting stellar bodies while lullaby music plays.

* HotMiso's EZ-PZ Japanesey sleaze program - masking utility which allows Nyxxie to bypass access, barrier, gray or black IC without leaving tracks; takes the form of a smoke capsule that, when thrown on the ground, cloaks Nyxxie's persona in the classic pop-culture black Ninja outfit.

Fake SIN: Trixie Tiluviel (used for clubbing and other social purposes; lists her age as 21)

==Contacts:==

Fixer: Tommy Panic

Media: Doubleplus Ungood, Human (?) Corporate Politics Watchdog Blogger. 
Nyxxie has no idea where Doubleplus Ungood lives; she only knows Doubleplus from the Matrix, and thus doesn't know what Doubleplus's race or gender is.

Street: Neon Eun-kyung, Ork BTL Dealer/Seoulpa Ring Member - Also lives in Block E; she's Balto's dealer; Nyxxie has bought the occasional BTL from Neon because her father begged her to, but hates doing it and never wants to do it again. Neon, on the other hand, is a pusher.

Ganger: Blackflag969, Dwarf Red Hot Nuke* - Lives in Block D; Nyxxie met him in the Matrix, talking in a Neo-Anarchist forum; she was directed to him because they live in the same area and thus could team up for activism purposes. He's been kind of a political mentor to her, though he's only a few years older than she is. Blackflag identifies as asexual, so there has never been any romantic tension between the two of them. He's also a member of the Red Hot Nukes, interested in maintaining control in the street markets of Bargain Basement, so she doesn't want to get too involved with him (she doesn't particularly want to end up being recruited into a gang, especially a Dwarf gang).

Bartender: Kota Whitecrow, Human Bartender at Sybrespace*, which is Downtown; he doesn't live in Redmond. He's a big Native guy (Salish tribe) who looks like he could double as a bouncer if he wanted to. He may be aware of Nyxxie's actual age and is just looking the other way because she seems like a basically good kid otherwise (or because so many of Sybrespace's patrons have fake SINs); she knows not to push him too hard for favors since he's cutting her some slack and she doesn't want him to get in trouble with his boss, Andrea Silvereyes.

==Flaw:==

Low self-esteem and mild body dysmorphic disorder; despite her upbeat and outgoing demeanor around others, Nyxxie has always been ashamed of her metatype expression, and wishes she were an Elf. She's become as much of an Elf Wannabe as she can manage with her physiology, short of getting surgical alterations. Her obsession with all things Elven has led her to become a fangirl of Tir Tairngire trid shows (while remaining doggedly in denial of their racist undertones). Her Matrix persona is Nyxandra Aerinaeith, the fictional protagonist of her favorite tridshow, "Siversakhan Verespitish". Her image of Dwarf culture is quite negative, based on elementary school bullying, caricatured media representation, and her own father's social dysfunctions.

Additionally, Nyxxie is a generally empathetic person, and as a result, leans hard toward pacifism. She actively avoids needless violence, and will not kill except in self-defense (and even then, as humanely as possible).

==Motivation:==

Everything Nyxxie (real name: Sabeen Al Diri) does is either in pursuit of her fandom of all things Elven, or to care for and protect her father, Balto, from the outside world he fears so much. Despite the tensions they have in their relationship, she loves her father very much and feels as though the "system" chewed him up and spit him out, robbing him of his self-confidence. Balto never really recovered from the loss of his wife, Nyxxie's mother, in a car accident. The company refused to cover the medical and funerary costs, claiming negligence on his wife's part, and laid him off when his performance at work dropped due to depression. After losing his job, Balto became a hikikomori, a shut-in, leaving his daughter to mostly fend for herself. She dropped out of school - which she'd always considered a waste of time, anyway - and learned to scavenge off the street for the parts she needed to improve her deck. No matter what happens, she isn't going to leave her father to the wolves of the world.

Outgoing Dwarf clubkid decker and Elf wannabe

==Home:==

Nyxxie lives in '''Block E'''. It's one of the larger complexes, with few, if any, open green spaces, but it has a chaotic webwork of powerlines and wires that are fairly easy to hack into for power and decent Matrix nodes (when there isn't a rolling brownout, anyway).

Nyxxie's father, Balto, lives in a cramped apartment that he's filled to the brim with the detritus of his life. Since he's a technician, there are a dozen old computers that he's rebuilt, sci-fi fandom accoutrements (anime statuettes and sci-fi movie/trid/simsense figurines, model spaceships, old movie posters, etc.), and bottles, cans, and other assorted garbage that he neglects to take out. When she turned 13, Nyxxie started finding other places to live in the apartment complex, keeping her clothes in her father's apartment but carrying everything else with her; her father's accumulating possessions spread into her old bedroom and have taken over there like kudzu.

Last winter, Nyxxie started living in the basement boiler room of her building. She's wired up the place so that she can get power down there, and except for those few times when it gets flooded, she lives a relatively comfortable, if spartan, existence. Between simsense, the Matrix, and going out to clubs, she doesn't really need much at home. She keeps tabs on her father by splicing into the webcams he has around the apartment, and goes up to take out his trash so it doesn't stink up the place too much.
