The Origin
Computer programmer Imani Okeke doesn't think of herself as a bad person. When she extorts millions from huge corporations, she tells herself that they deserve it. And after all, she diverts a significant proportion of the money she takes to a huge basket of diverse charities. If people knew, they'd celebrate her, she often rationalizes.
Already a gifted programmer, her leet skills blossomed beyond human capability after she woke up one morning with the vision of the Crash still scrolling behind her eyes. Able to talk to and control machines of every kind through machine telepathy, Shibboleth (Imani's online avatar) knows that nothing stands in her way of world cyber domination.
Shibboleth is serious about erasing her online tracks so no one can find her physical location at her home in Greenville, South Carolina.
Motive: Acquire wealth and power
Environment: Almost anywhere online
Health: 22
Damage Inflicted: Moderate wound (5 points)
Movement: Short
Modifications: Machine control as level 9; programming online avatar tasks as level 10
Combat: As an online avatar in a multiuser game or virtual reality game, Shibboleth tops the charts. However, if someone does somehow find her IRL, Little John, an automaton she constructed using her abilities, defends her. Little John resembles a small car transformed into a humanoid shape..
For her part, she can use her machine control ability to cause equipment (including cyphers and artifacts that are machines) used by an attacker—or nearby computers or other machines—to blow up, turn on their user, or otherwise prevent the attack
Interaction: As an online entity, Shibboleth is vain and unafraid, and loves speaking her mind. IRL, Imani is quiet, and more out of surprise at being found than anything else, willing to negotiate with those not immediately attacking her.
Use: NibiruCrash has gone down due to some kind of cyber attack on the local node. PCs are tasked to find out if the one claiming credit (Shibboleth) is a danger to the House.
Other Equipment: Shibboleth has top-of-the-line computer equipment and decades-ahead-of-their-time VR glasses that are essentially priceless.
GM Intrusion: The electronics system in the vehicle the character is using tries to crash it.
