Deke is lazy, laid-back and carefree. He was Born to Chill. Talented with electronics and computers from a young age. He's always too smart for his own good, He's often able to talk his way out of difficult situations, but gets tongue-tied around "the ladies" ...

He works in the data-center of a large corporation, which [! CLASSIFIED TOP SECRET EYES ONLY !] in genetics & nanotech. There he rubs elbows with security guards, the girls in Sales and Data Management, fellow code-monkeys, rich corporate bastards, and some of the most intelligent scientific specialists in some of the most modern, advanced and incomprehensible technologies in (or almost in) existence. At this job, he earns enough money to live comfortably -- enough to buy almost anything he wants, but without saving anything. Enough to live just a little bit beyond his means.

He doesn't usually interact with too many people outside of work, other than a few close friends he's kept in touch with since high school; but occasionally he gets together with his fellow coders for an all-weekend gaming run based on the Rifts, GURPS or d20 Modern systems. Deke lives on fast food -- his idea of "health food" is getting Boston Market instead of Pizza Hut.

His home is a modest apartment in the Los Angeles suburbs. Like most apartment dwellers, he avoids his neighbors. When at home he watches TV constantly, but not attentively; more as background noise, and to subliminally absorb the gestalt of the times (kinda like old-school-TMNT's Casey Jones). Regularly reads many varied international Internet news sources, including underground extremist and anarchist publications, and of course the major broadsheets and large-circulation magazines.

Deke likes spiffy gadgets, big fast computers, new programming languages, fast cars, bleeding-edge technologies, loud hardcore techno, case mods, sub-machine guns, sci-fi, history, video games, writing useful programs, old nostalgic computers & video-game consoles, learning new things, ...

Deke hates stupid people, bugs (spiders and insects of any kind), wasting time, fucking morons, retards, waiting, bugs (in software, no matter how small), sports, jocks, standing in line, goddamn idiots, godforsaken pigfuckers, script kiddies, ...

He collects video games and computer games. He'd sell his soul (and someone else's too) for a Commodore-64 and original copies of "Adventure Constreuction Set" and "Pinball Construction Set" ... but he probably already has 'em. He also has an impressive collection of all kinds of action figures -- from "GI Joe" to "Resident Evil" to 'Dragonball Z' to "Lord of the Rings" -- which he protects like a parent would protect a retarded child.

His hobbies include writing, sketching, reading the latest technical journals; he also plays various musical instruments (not very well, but he can struggle through a simple piece of music on almost any instrument). His great-uncle bequeathed to him a tiny private plane (a Cessna) which he has learned to fly quite well.

He envisions himself as a swashbuckling fast-talking hero: an update Captain Jack Sparrow or Scarlet Pimpernel -- gun in one hand, ultra- psycho- customized PDA/ cellphone/ microPC in the other.

His parents live a comfortable retirees' existence in Florida. His only sibling is a hot younger (in her early 20s) sister who works as a masseuse in a Santa Monica hotel spa, and dates computer programmers.

OOC Comments

His first name is from Stephen King's stort story "The Raft" (in Skeleton Crew or Night Shift, I don't remember which). His last name came from a Google Image Search (GIS) on 'Deke'; I selected it in honor of the eponymous beer.)

I am drunk. So there.

Skinny, with John Lennon sunglasses, a scruffy red goatee, cigarette, hunched shoulders, unbuttoned cotton shirt with short sleeves, untucked, black cargo pants... a typical punk-ass hacker. He knows a little bit about every damn thing, and a shitload about a few things. Smirks a lot. Smokes constantly. He tends to talk out of the side of his mouth because there's usually a cigarette dangling from his lips.

Cocky, smug, carefree, arrogant, impatient, serious, talkative, cheerful, impulsive, foolhardy. He has always been insatiably curious, and has a knack for getting himself into and (to a lesser degree) out of trouble -- usually in pursuit of knowledge and/or fun. The thrill of I/E appeals to him: hacking while being shot at, using cool top-secret gizmos, driving at insane speeds, etc.

Deke displayed an aptitude for languages early-on: he taught himself to read before his first birthday. While the other kids were struggling thru Dick and Jane, he was reading encyclopedias. In 3rd grade he was suspended for hacking "penis" jokes into Math Mania on his school's TI99-4A computers.

blueMOJO has an excellent ability to learn and communicate, but he's too impatient to "teach." He's extremely good at what he does, and he knows it; this makes him a little overconfident -- he can be cocky, rude, perhaps even a prick.

More likes ... Anime, foreign languages, the scientific method, disassembling and reassembling things, "2600" and "Phrack", Atari 2600, Game Boy Advance, alcohol, marijuana, and (rarely) methamphetamines, acid trance, motorcycles, Linux, role-playing games (esp. Shadowrun and Rifts), Star Wars, smart chicks.

Although I (as a player) don't like to admit it, he probably likes Ska and listens to nu-pop groups like Linkin Park, System of a Down and Limp Bizkit.

More dislikes ... Sitcoms, illogical people, Mac(intosh computer)s, marketing and management, saxophones, boring and timid people, closed minds, truck jocks,

When not augmented by a computer or a fast car, he's a physical coward. Self-preservation comes naturally to him; if someone yells "Fire in the hole," he'll be the first one on the floor ...
