Background

Rook was born to a Japanese corporate couple, a human
corporate couple. RookUs father did what he had to do to
keep his position with the corporation. He gave his son up
to the corporate orphanage, to find an outside (corporate)
home. The corporation, of course, decided to just give him
up to a local city orphanage to deal with. Hence he disappeared
from corporate life and eventualy ended up in the shadows.

Rook has since established himself as a close friend to one of
the local Yakuza clans. He maintains this this connection by
doing favors every once in a while as well as supplying them
with rumors from the shadows.

One factor about Rook is his unique is his unusual career. He is
currently opperating as a fixer. However, he started his long
career on the street as a decker. Yes, a decker! And surprising as
it may seem he is hot drek as a decker.

A habit Rook has devoloped over the years is checking up every
once in awhile on his parents. he refuses to contact his parents.
However, he still looks out for them. Modifying records to
improve their standing, ect.
