Mr. Fantastic:
Decker, better than average, but not by much. Has a tendency to
overestimate his abilities and gets in over his head. His irreverent
attitude has gotten him into trouble on more than one occasion.
[To hear a friend describe it, Doom's punching bag.]

overconfident, entirely too cheerful for his own good. Good
decker, but had yet (until now) to bump into a BIG problem.

enthusiasm. Rather naive and inexperienced, he is usually is pestering

build the deck he later stole). (Ed Matuskey)

Another bluesuit who made MONICA. Her personality is
from one of his (brainmaps?)

with ganger boyfriend, who was killed two years ago. Current age 22.
