Lifestyle (Middle, 1 month, 6k)

Deke, like most poor kids living in one slum or another had little in the way of options. So, just like many of them, he tried to join the Council’s military. He was quick, fast, smart too. He excelled. But what really got him noticed was his body’s acceptance of cyberware. Once they realized just how well he could handle it, they wasted no time. Nor did they give him a choice in the matter. He went under the knife and simple woke up a few months later, chucked full of tech. While he wasn’t complaining about what it allowed him to do, he wasn’t exactly thrilled about having no say in the matter. Still, with his new ‘ware and proficiencies, he was quickly shunted to the Wildcats, a special ops unit. He was still the junior man on the team but was the unit’s tech guy. He barely passed the firearms requirements given how much he had to learn about everything else. Still, he got into the rather prestigious unit which was impressive as far as he was concerned.

He’d only been in a couple months when everything went to hell. Sent on a raid against a XX-RESTRICTED-XX secret lab facility, everything went to hell once they were past the point of no return. The lab was filled with insane horrors. The Unit was unprepared for something this heavy. They tried to fall back/call for retrieval but the ‘brass’ wrote them off. Left to die, the group was whittled down and killed off one by one. Deke was badly hurt but escaped, mostly by running away once everyone else was dead.

Letting the catrastrophe fake his own death, he headed for the shadows to start over. He sold off all the scavenged equipment he had to set himself up as best he could. It wasn’t nearly as good as the toys and tech he had, but it was enough to get set up and put his name out there. He wasn’t advertising himself as a soldier, or a fighter though. He was sticking with infiltration and B&E specialist. For now, it was enough. It was time to get on with his life, his 2nd one.
