==Alex, the Witch==

Alex Smith born to Tricia Smith and Gerald Smith (those names feel lower class so I'll go with that), was a smart kid, smart but bored and quickly got into hacking as puzzles to be solved. Coasting at the local comprehensive school they quickly and efficiently dealt with any coursework and the exams with ease. This lead to more time solving the puzzle of increasing access to new areas of the net and for them to get a academic scholarship. It was during the summer between ending year 11 and entering college, that something happened, delving deep into a weird site of what looked like a simple hippy religion on the surface but as they broke past the layers of the site the positive thinking message fell away leave more and more complex arcane mathematics and graph theory. It was once they seemed to bottom out in the website that some thing changed a video began playing automatically and continued long after Alex hit the power supply, Alex can't clearly remember the video but when they woke up the next day they started to see what looked like network connects linking everything and everyone. Manipulating these connections Alex's has found they can change reality and that they like the power that it gives.
