## Background

Sebastian Rin was born in Croatia in 2053. Growing up during a time of intense regional conflict had two profound effects on him. First, it caused him to detest what he considers "organized violence:" military conquest or occupation. Secondly, he was caught in a crossfire in 2064 and suffered a gunshot wound to his abdomen. Although he survived the initial injury, he soon suffered a severe medical complication. Tears in his intestinal lining had allowed native bacteria to migrate into the bloodstream. The resulting infection turned necrotic. With no options remaining for treatment, he volunteered for an experimental surgical procedure sponsored by EVO. Miraculously, he survived the extreme prostheses, but far too many patients ended up as an expensive, chromed-up cadaver. Eventually the program was abandoned, and (for some reason) he was let go, but the records remain.

However, Sebastian now needed a lot of money, fast. What little remained of his human body (mostly just his nervous and circulatory system) would continue to grow as he aged. He needed to continually upgrade and upsize his body, or he would literally be crushed by his own chrome. It is little wonder then, that he quickly fell into organized crime. He started out with petty theft, but the crimes scaled with his 'ware. As he got older, he caught the eye of a few powerful individuals who could help him do more than just get by. Dr. Henry Wallace made Core an offer he couldn't refuse. Core relocated to Seattle. The rest, as they say, is history.

## Narratively Significant Qualities

* Code of Honor: Akichita (While mechanically identical Core refers to this Code as the "Code of the Razor")
* Incompetent (Firearms): Core claims that this is due to a quirk of his augmented vision, but it's actually due to some psychological hang-ups.
* Reduced Sense (Smell and Taste): Core technically doesn't have a nose or tongue. What appear to be his nose and tongue are actually part of his False-Face cyberware. They allow him to sound and appear like a normal metahuman, but they cannot deliver any sensory information to his brain.
* Records on File (EVO): Who else?
* Sensei: Core learned about second story work from his Uncle Joe. No real relation, but Uncle Joe's an old hand at this thing, having been a street sam back in 2050.

## Appearance

### Clothing

Likes to blend in, but he has an especial love of coats to help conceal what he's carrying (and because it's always raining in Seattle).

Nothing much yet (He's dodged media attention so far)
