Character Sheet is Largely Complete
Name: Lucie Axelle
Convention: Virtual Adept/Iteration X
Character Concepts: Former Reality Deviant/White Hat/Sufficiently Analyzed Magic is the Exact Same Thing as Science
History:
Not everyone gets to be slotted neatly into one mold or another, picked by the ideal master from an early age and subsequently indoctrinated into the fold with all of the information they need to fit in their pretty little mold. Lucie is one of these drifters on the waves of fate--even if using those exact words is probably a good way to get laughed at by your peers who are explicitly not supposed to use those phrases.
Probably why she's not higher ranking than she is.
She was born to a comfortable upper-middle class household, your standard Young Genius who could easily grasp high level mathematics and data processing--and was subsequently slated to be tested and recruited should she turn out to suitable. That never actually happened due to a Virtual Adept data-raid on the server that this information was spotted on--and she was picked up by those Reality Deviants first, educated in their ways and molded as yet another good hacker to Bring Down The Establishment. If they hadn't been in such a hurry, it might have even worked out, and she'd have joined their numbers once and for all!
But they pushed too hard, too fast, and exploited too many opportunities for Lucie to feel entirely comfortable with it. Oh sure, they said they were trying to bring down a corrupt system--and a quick look out the window in the World of Darkness is enough to prove that
they're not wrong to lash out against it. But the means they were taking to do so? Crashing stock exchanges? Bringing down pharmaceutical companies? Even if each of these was a strike against legitimately shady interests (And she was educated enough and
nosy enough to realize that this was true, and many of their targets had done terrible things), the number of innocent people who got caught in the crossfire vastly outweighed this number.
And then they finally slipped up--they got a tip that a major propaganda push was on the way, as a major hospital was recently being renovated, using some potent experimental medical technologies. They got an opening to cause the whole thing to backfire and set back progress in that field by years--and the little cabal was chomping at the bit to seize it.
Lucie had finally had enough by this point--the number of people who would suffer from this was enormous, and it was more than she was willing to stomach. She finally worked against her former master and his agents--delaying them just long enough for the Authorities to arrive.
Fortunately, whoever was in charge of that particular operation was more of the "Convert Assets" then "Salt the Earth and take no prisoners" viewpoint--and Lucie having a crisis of conscience and doing the right thing allowed for the snapping up of a cell of potent Reality Deviants. Finding out her philosophy was largely compatible with Technocracy mores as well? With a focus on the well being of society as a whole? That was something that could be salvaged, and worth the expense of time and money to try.
Today? Lucie Axelle serves as a network security advisor and datascape researcher for the Technocracy. She's never been more satisfied with her life.
Personality: Lucie has a
strong sense of justice, resenting the idea that ordinary people can do nothing but serve as collateral damage in the clashes between the Mighty. She
takes immense satisfaction in outwitting criminals, and
holds great pride in furthering the inevitable advance of humanity. Though of
shady origins, and perhaps
not prone to using approved terms, her eccentricties are within tolerable parameters, and it's
not like sufficiently analyzed magic isn't identical to science anyway.

Trainings:
Magical Girl Hacker-tan 3: Lucie has an eclectic mix of foundational skills pulled in from her initial period with the Virtual Adepts, refined with the polish with her subsequent time with Iteration X. She's equally good at breaking through security as she is building it up--and when she doesn't have a solution on hand, she's also a fair hand at
improvising in a pinch.

Iteration X Ensign 2
Princess of Adequate Bullshit 1: Technobabble, fast talk, and more than a small amount of charisma give Lucie mythical powers at seeming like she knows exactly what she's doing and any disasters are
definitely not her fault.
