Dedsec (New York Branch)

## Overview

The New York Branch of the hacker group Dedsec is located in the dilapidated, run down town of Tenby where they work to keep the mayor from bulldozing the town and forcing the low-income residents out in order to build large, upscale apartments they could never hope to afford. They are a small-scale group compared to the Dedsec branches of Chicago or even San Francisco, only having four total members before the new recruit Zeke Nakada joined, so their main focus is within the town of Tenby

## History

This branch of Dedsec was established by Cecelia Delacruz, known by her alias 0r4cl3 (Oracle), having grown up firsthand in Tenby and seeing how everyone struggled to make ends meet or even keep their homes. She’d heard of Dedsec through various news outlets and dedicated herself to learning how to hack in order to expose the wrongdoings of Tenby’s officials in order to keep them from ruining the lives of her friends and neighbors.

Cecelia would later recruit Tyler Kamau and Daniel Baker, the former of which is Cecelia’s childhood friend, to her cause and the three would wage daily battles to keep Tenby from being wiped off the map to be replaced with homes and shopping centers no one could even begin to afford.

The mysterious Delta would later join as well after simply showing up within Tenby and setting up residence in an abandoned warehouse they would later fashion into a proper hackerspace, and Zeke would later join as well as their newest recruit still learning the ropes.

## Known Members

Cecelia Delacruz – Leader; Cecelia is the de facto leader of the group, and as such, she directs the operations and is often the one people contact with information or requests for help. Cecelia is very headstrong and not afraid to fight for what is right, whether that be through activism through Dedsec or by physically getting her hands dirty.

Tyler Kamau – Second in command; Tyler is Cecelia’s childhood friend and has firsthand knowledge of how difficult it is to grow up in a place like Tenby. His main skill is stealth, and he is an expert of sneaking into secured buildings with various tech like drones and RC cars in order to collect whatever information they need to bring to the public’s attention. He is very much a womanizer, but he flirts for the fun of it and rarely means anything by his flirtations.

Daniel Baker - Info Broker; Daniel Baker is the only one of the group that didn't originally live in Tenby, instead being born in Chicago originally before moving to New York and then to Tenby after joining the group. He had prior knowledge of Dedsec thanks to the Vigilante of Chicago, and thus when he heard rumors of a small branch located in Tenby, he decided to join up to lend his skills in hacking and information gathering. He's usually quiet and keeps to himself, and can be very deadpan at times.

Delta - The Problem Solver; Delta endeared himself to Cecelia by helping out on a difficult op involving the mayor making many under the table deals with contractors to try to 'encourage' Tenby's residents to move out due to poor living conditions. Since then, Delta is who they call on when there's a difficult op as he is wholly unpredictable and can get through many a sticky situation. He lives within the warehouse hackerspace in an upstairs loft he made himself.

Zeke Nakada - The Newbie; By proxy of dating Delta, Zeke is also an official member of the Tenby group, though is still learning the ropes of hacking. His abilities as a neko help give him enhanced stealth and agility for the more physically demanding ops.
