Lucas is a serious convert to the Inseer religion and he gets this free for being originally of Hatire rearing. I'm not sure if he's serious enough to really warrant the perk, though. Likewise he has had bad experiences with religion that might put a damper on the fervor, namely being stuck on an agricultural backwater doing exhausting physical labor under the hot (for him) sun from dawn until dusk every day to keep him from using his "sinful proclivities".Mutations - EngineeredHyper IntelligenceLucas's brain is amazingly efficient and overdeveloped. Int +3Minor Physical ChangeLucas's skin is a flat, chalky white. Large veins show through it easily. Short of full concealment, his altered genetics are obvious. +2 penalty to all Personality skills and any other skills used to interact with others.Moderate Environmental Sensitivity, HotLucas's body operates at well above normal human temperatures. As a result he's warm to hot where others would be comfortable and truly hot temperatures cause him to overheat. He sunburns easily. +3 penalty to all skill and action checks in hot temperatures.CybertechMarginal Nanocomputer [1], Subdermal NIJack [1] (will upgrade to wireless if he can afford it)Cybertolerance 5/3/5Signature Equipment: Marginal Gridcaster, Marginal Nanocomputer, Ordinary Shadow Form Program, Ordinary Antivirus Program, Marginal Break-in Program [self-made].AppearanceIf not for his skin tone, Lucas would be a near-stereotypical farm boy of medium build. He's just a bit short and a bit too introverted to pull it off. His blonde hair is slightly long and permanently sun-bleached. He avoids eye contact with authority figures and is usually uncomfortable in their presence, unless talking about his specialities. Then he becomes animated, speaking quickly with great confidence and often throwing hair back out of his eyes.His mutant skin and heat sensitivity work at contrary ends. Lucas isn't comfortable showing off his skin and prefers to keep it covered, but wearing heavy clothes leaves him quickly overheating. His normal compromise is a skintight bodysuit that keeps him covered and draws away the sweat, with loose clothing on top of it as needed. He prefers synthetic clothes to the exclusion of natural fibers as a result of being forced for years to wear ill-fitting, rough homespun clothing on the farm.Allegiance: ConcordLucas doesn't like it all that much, but he's legally obligated to work with the Concord in lieu of a lengthy prison sentence for getting caught breaking into a banking datacore that was way out of his league.Authority: 4 (+2 Tech Op, +2 Allegiance)Wealth: 5 (+2 Tech Op, +1 Gridpilot [used entry for Hacker], +1 Allegiance) $2,500/monthFame: 1 (+1 Tech Op, -1 Gridpilot, +1 Allegiance)[/sblock]That's what I have so far. I'm open to suggestions for revision and boneheaded rules errors that need fixing. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />EDIT: Added social status and allegiance.</blockquote>
