Eclipse Phase Signup - We, who are about to die...

Good god that was a long read. Lemme know if I've missed stuff.

Overview:

Alyk Sins, a man searching for 7 missing years of his life. An experienced scrapper, specializing in intimidation, information and hacking to get the job done.

Personality:

A friendly and relatively open man until he woke up with a lack the size of Jupiter in his head. These days Alyk's somewhat more cautious. Gaining his friendship isn't hard, but his trust is a rare commodity indeed. Middling between sarcasm and blunt frankness in stressful situations (and when he just feels like being a prick), Alyk still suffers from that old cliche of 'never leaving a man behind', and if it's within his power will protect members of his group as best he can. Some might say this attitude applies to Earth as well, given his remarkable drive to restore the home world to it's former state. He'd argue that rather the place is not only the source of human history, but also holds a phenomenal amount of resources and inhabitable space. It should also be noted that the value Alyk places on individual identity is rather high for an age where you can change anything and everything about yourself. He backs up frequently, and has several contingency plans so he doesn't lose years of his life again.

In short, he's a direct and practical man, calm in combat, even if he's a softie when you get to know him. Getting between him and his goals is generally a bad idea.

History:

Rough draft is go:

While he wasn't on earth during the Fall, being one of the minority that managed to get off the planet before things went south, he damn well wanted the place back. It wasn't that long before he ended up with the reclaimers, and he's earned his keep since then (Including the possibility of at least one trip down and back...). Or has he?

2 years ago Alyk woke up in a fresh sleeve remembering nothing of the past 7. Why and how are a mystery. Official sources claim there was some sort of Error with his backups. Odds of this being true are low. Alyk was, and continues to be, obsessive about his backups, and had more than a few fail safes just in case. All of them had failed, or been removed, even ones he was sure only he would know about. Clearly he had been doing things during the missing years, a search of the mesh would reveal any number of projects and the like he had been involved with. Contacts would recall meetings, friends would recall nights out, but none of them held answers. Just what was in those 7 years? It was a question he couldn't ignore. Subtly, he began to investigate.

That's been his main motivation of late, but caution takes time, and he still needs to keep his Credit up. The reclamation of earth is still a topic close to his heart, so he works towards that most of the time, when he worrys he's attracting the wrong sort of attention in his investigations.

Goals:

In no particular order:

Goal 1: Find your memories

Goal 2: Save Earth, become big damn hero.

Goal 3: Pay the bills

Roles:

Alyk's a skilled investigator with a multitude of contacts and skills to suit the job. He's up to date and eager for a chance to pay the home world a visit, and has the skills (and possibly the experience) to increase the likelihood of the mission going well, even if everyone's a corpse walking on the earth. An experienced fighter and generally a sharp man who knows when to keep his mouth shut, with a reputed knack for cutting to the truth of the matter, Alyk's a useful man for a variety of situations for both the earth mission and Firewall.

Okay, I made some changes to Anika's stuff. Take a look at them if you want, Arhra.
