Deadzone

The Brit

# Character Information

## Background

Deadzone, born Nathaniel Brenning in 2048, was raised in the London borough of Whitechapel to SINners working for Transys in the sprawl. He watched his father and uncle work themselves to an early grave in the wageslave life and wanted no part in that for himself. He got through the Corp education, going through various classes until he was eligible for Corpsec training. He ran with it, going through the whole course, even taking classes in Matrix design, intending on becoming a Decker. He did this for 2 years, working across Britain in various Transys facilities, though he despised the job, he was harbouring his years of experience to apply to the British Army.

By time he was 19 he had abandoned his Corp lifestyle to join Her Majesty's Army, going through basic training and quickly realising it was no different to being wageslave corpsec. At this point he was already sworn in and served 3 years. The British Army, being a professional institution, tried to force ware on the young Edward. He rejected and was court marshalled for insubordinance, though was let off with a warning for his first offence. Enraged by this, he left the Army the second his service term was up, leaving no other choice but to move to the Private Security sector, the only other line of business that could make use of his skills at the time.

He worked for a Merc Company who, during peace time, offered themselves up as bodyguards. Here he met Hans Volksman, a grizzled Troll Wars vet who emigrated from Germany. Hans always elated tales of times before the Matrix, when men were merited by their skill, not the metal packed into their body or the fancy tablets they held in their hands and Nathaniel was intrigued by this idea...if you couldn't do your job without tech...were you actually good? He started incorporating Jammers into his work, becoming a walking spam zone, testing the limits of technology around him.

The years went on and eventually his Company were hired via Hans's connections in the AGS for the Great Dragon Civil War, where Nathaniel was a forward scout and operative, jamming enemy technology and communications before striking like a scalpel. It was here he met Spectre, striking up a quick friendship and keeping contact after the war. His Mentor died during the Civil War along with many of his comrades, the rest being presumed dead and wiped from the Matrix alltogether. Being SINless and jobless, Nathaniel was quickly pulled into the Shadows by Spectre.

He accepts Bioware, as it is simply augmenting your abilities and not replacing them, same with many forms of technology, though he has made a conscious effort to hone his skills to a degree that should his technology go completely dark, unlike others, he isn't a sitting duck. When not talking tech, he's actually quite the bubbly personality, very willing to chat away, despite remaining quiet about his personal life.
