I make sure everyone can see my persona icon the moment I walk through the virtual door. Out on the street, samurai live or die depending on how tough they look. You are sized up from the moment you walk into a room and those first few seconds are the most important. If you don’t say right off "don’t frag with me or I can mess you up something bad," you are in for trouble. It’s the same way on the wild side of Matrix, and everything about my persona tells people who see me that I’m bad news in cyberspace.
