Pentacles EP:PB

Eclipse Phase Hacktopus

Halpalo ‘PENTICLES’ Chlaena-3
Halpalo was an octopus, grown and raised in a hypercorp lab. She showed a natural aptitude for computer science and hacking, earning enough as a hacker working for the hypercorps to buy off her freedom. She moved to a quiet habitat in the belt. The habitat was a staging point for smugglers sneaking things the 'corps didn't like onto Mars, and she made a few contacts, though Halpalo used to be an artist, mainly, making digital animations and a mesh serial comic about a uplifted octopus in an organisation that fought TITAN tech, based off artistic licence and mesh vids rather than anything actually real.

One of the habitat's mining drones found something in the asteroid belt. Then she has a blank two weeks. She died - or so she was told - at somepoint in those two weeks, her stack was not recovered, and the organisation that was rather certain they'd hired her - Firewall - had provided her a shiny new morph, even if it wasn't quite the one she wanted. Octopus morphs are rare, and she doesn't like the idea of sleeving something mechanical. At least she doesn't have to keep buying the genetic service packs anymore.

Now a woman with red skin, swirled with orange and with blue rings along her limbs and around her eyes. Almost always with an electronic cigarette dangling out her mouth, though she rarely seems to ever smoke it. She has two mechanical arms below her 'real' ones.
