[QUOTE="johndaw16, post: 2791894, member: 12033"] Just a little bit of background story for Riko Li. I'll post more on the other characters as I get the chance. Riko Li is a 20 year old mostly Chinese resident of the Stilts. Riko spent her high school years generally disinterested in formal education after realizing the real information was stored all over the net. Attractive and sociable, Riko spent her time after school partying with friends, and most of her time during school skipping class to pursue her own interests on the net. After finishing ahead of her peers she landed a dead-end job running cable and doing diagnostic work for BACA's power management, where she met Truant Constance. Between tension from living at home with her parents, the promise of an entrepreneurial job outside the corridor, and resentment over corporate control of the net nd government policy, at Truant's suggestion Riko left town for the Stilts and is currently working there partially on her own, partially as Truant's "apprentice". She rents a beat up one-room apartment by herself, but it has a decent view, and work is steady enough to keep her well fed and to buy her the hardware she wants off of Truant. The only thing besides hardware she spends money on is her flake habit, but it has yet to become a problem in her life. She's fairly well known around town since Truant sends her to fix most of the regular wear and tear on the infrastructure around the area. Riko carries a pistol during work late at night which she borrows from Truant. [/QUOTE]
