RIELLE "KIT" PEDDLER 20 year old technopath from Boston living in LA, likes to steal information (and money) from corporations and governments. Kit is really into transcending the physical form, and is in the process of replacing her entire body with robot parts. She's FAMOUS ON THE INTERNET for hacking etc. She is really REALLY REALLY excited about robots and cybernetics. seriously don't let her start talking about AIs and what it means to be human. Kit also dropped out of college after one semester and can't hold down a job to save her life. Whoops.
YOU MAY HAVE HEARD OF THIS CHARACTER IF: Kit runs an anonymous blog called The Uplink where she blogs about stuff like freedom of information and net neutrality and censorship and corporate corruption and also occasionally robotics and transhumanism, she hecka famous in hacker/internet activist circles for doing stuff like releasing secret sourcecodes and exposing secret government files from like nine different countries and for generally being very good at hacking! her work has been mentioned on various news shows several times (LOOK AT THESE TERRIBLE UNPATRIOTIC-NATIONAL-SECURITY-COMPROMISING COMMUNIST HACKTIVISTS). News agencies and other hackers/activists/whatever usually refer to her as "Uplink," but she's never called herself that. She has a small fan following on the internet, and Kit can never decide whether she's flattered or a little creeped out. A lot of people think Uplink is a man, probably.
YOU MAY KNOW THIS CHARACTER IF: you're from Boston or went to MIT, you're one of Kit's internet friends (mostly hackers and people who are obsessed with robots), you're part of the Silicon Valley or LA tech communities (Kit's worked for a lot of startups etc over the past few years as herself, Kit Peddler the CS/engineering genius. Nobody there would know about her cybercrime), you live in her apartment building, or IF YOU'RE A TECHNOPATH OR SIMILAR. actually please just contact me if you're a technopath or similar so we can jam OuO
PLANS & IDEAS FOR THIS CHARACTER: I am sssso super excited to build CR with other hackers and computer and robotics and cybernetics people. Kit is still working on replacing her body with cyborg parts, so that's... going to be part of her arc definitely, but I would love to have her get involved in some kind of company or organization, preferably something not TOO far to the side of good or bad - she's a criminal, but Kit's not an evil person. I would also really like to have her make some meatspace friends!!
THINGS YOU'D PREFER TO AVOID: nah, nothing specific!
ANYTHING ELSE: kit is extremely well meaning but not great at most things involving meatspace.
