Jason Kelley-Neufeldt (aka Dancer)
S-04
--------
Jason Kelley was born to a wealthy corporate family 17 years ago. He was,
however, born at a bad time for his father, the CEO of (insert name of local
corp from halfway across the country) and was almost immediately turned over
to Lisa Neufeldt to be raised as her son. Additionally, after providing Ms.
Neufeldt, a retired championship ballroom dancer, with a formal education, the
Kelleys loaned her the money to establish her own dance studio. At age 10,
Jason was officially adopted by Lisa, who had also trained him in ballroom
dancing.
In his early teens, Jason met (insert name of local matrix.god) - the two
got along extremely well. (The matrix.god) taught Jason well, not only in
computer hardware and software, but also in the construction of cybernetic
implants, specifically, implanted cyberdecks. Jason came to love decking
quickly, as it allowed him to exercise his grace and finesse at levels beyond
the abilities of the human body. With the aid of his mentor, Jason built
himself a cyberarm with exceptional dexterity and an inbuilt cyberdeck.
All was going well for the Neufeldts until last year, when Jason's true parents
chose to reexert their authority in his life by arranging a political marriage
between Jason and (the daughter of another corp bigwig). Jason and Lisa
immediately liquidated what assets they could and fled to Seattle, where they
are now trying to reestablish the lifestyle to which they are accustomed.
Having been raised surrounded by wealth, Jason has never felt that money was
very significant, and tend to spend it quickly on whatever his whim of the
moment may be. His naievite extends to other areas as well, as his time spent
in the matrix is the closest he's come to prolonged experience on the streets.
He has a basic understanding of guns and judo, but would be of little use in a
firefight.
(BTW, as much as you may think arm-decks a munchkin way to avoid the essence
costs of C^2s, I don't care. Dancer was designed before Shadowtech came out.)
