Character Name & Journal: Alec Hardison [personal profile] hacktivision
Guild Affiliation: none
Plot/CR Hooks: Hardison's a hacker, but he also loves nerdy shit like MMOs, TTRPGs, Sci-Fi, comics, et cetera. He also does Crime for the forces of good.
Character Motivations: In general, Hardison's out to try new experiences — new foods, new tech, new games, etc — and get a taste of all the new things life has to offer. Then he'll see how he can improve & optimuze the experience. He also has an extreme distaste for injustice, and will step in to help wherever he feels he can contribute.

Potential Roles: Back home, Hardison is part of a team that deals in taking down rich and powerful capitalists who exploit those who can't fight back. He can plan, he can grift, he can hack, he threw a punch one time, he can forge documents, he can allocate resources. Give him a cause to commit crimes for.

Plot Ideas: Honestly I'm just kind of coasting with him right now! He's quietly acquainting himself with the technology here and trying to get himself back up to snuff with his skill level back home.
Roles Needed: frens :)

Event Plans: Hardison is going to be running a multi-pronged plan to get as many people out of the affected areas as possible:

  • Locating affected areas - He'll write a bot to scrape social media sites and compare data points to figure out what areas are experiencing an altered reality, and draw up a map of the boundaries. The bot will be doing this continually to monitor any changes in the borders of the effect.

  • Hoaxes - Hardison is going to fabricate news stories & accompanying rumors designed to entice people to leave the affected perimeter. Things like a train shipping gold bars derailing somewhere in New Mexico, and it hasn't been recovered... millions in old viking artifacts hidden in a lake somewhere in northern Wisconisn... things that will hopefully draw people out, and keep them out long enough for the spell to wear off. The circulation of these hoaxes are going to be location-targeted within the perimeter of the event.

  • Extraction Team - Hardison will also be putting out a second set of location-targeted ads outside the affected perimeter. These will be particularly targeted towards people using search terms related to the event, such as questions about altered memories, altered histories, or specific historic events that seem to have changed.

    Hardison is going to use these ads to reach out and put together a team to try and directly extract certain people from the bubble. He 100% has his sights set on getting his Eliot back, but he's aiming to have everyone pool their resources to rescue the loved ones of everyone on the team. Once that's taken care of, he'll expand the team's focus on getting as many others out as possible.

    LET'S GO STEAL REALITY.
