Paradigm

Livna is not simply a controller or manipulator of media- she lives and breathes it. Plugged into social media 24/7 she's constantly outputting, absorbing and recycling memes as part of a vast corpus which recycles the ennui and creativity of human activity and parcels it into cheap morsels of micro-entertainment. Her procedures are not explicitly anything new to standard Watcher techniques, but refined and modernized for a generation of people constantly connected to the internet.

Foci and Spheres

Correspondence 3// Surveillance networks, social media, credit card.
Forces 2// Surveillance networks, infrastructure, electronic devices.
Entropy 3// Multimedia, social media.
Mind 3// Multimedia, social media.
Time 2// Multimedia equipment/software.

Rotes

Backgrounds

Devices 5//
MCPI 3// Acts as a Digital Interface Armband, Mark IV Hand Computer and gives the Lightning Calculator and Time Sense merits.
Implant Radio 1// Allows for wireless communications with a range of 10 miles, works as a subvocal communicator and cellphone.
Elite Business Attire 3// Constant 2-dot Mind 2 branding effect, grants Parlor Tricks via excellent tailoring and well-designed pockets and acts as rating 2 armor with no penalty.
Enhancements 3// Genetic enhancements as part of Les Idoles Terribles, much of the donor material carried over from earlier projects such as SILVERTHORN.
Attributes// +1 Charisma, +1 Manipulation, +1 Appearance
Fame 2// A famous media personality in some (mostly geek-y) circles, known and respected but not a major mover or shaker.
Genius 3// A powerful but somewhat uninspired Eidolon, following trends for mass-produced Enlightened agents.
Requisition 1// Rarely asks for more than modified multimedia equipment or the occasional mini-UAV for surveillance.
Resources 5// Over a million youtube hits a day! A successful webcomic! A voice acting and singing career to boot! All the merch and corporate sponsorships expected.

Merits and Flaws

Merits

Media Ties// Thanks to a complicated network of talent agencies and sponsorships, Livna is in authoritative contact with a very large number of media personalities and can easily call in favors to get into touch with people one or two degrees of separation away.

Flaws

Construct// Designed to be a mass-marketted, larger-than-life figure, Livna has a precisely defined physique and facial features set to exact standards considered to be the baseline of physical beauty. Even disheveled and unhealthy, her features would be perfectly symmetrical, skin smooth and lacking blemishes. Her back and shoulders are adorned with indentations in the skin from the life support cables that sustained her in the vats during her creation, and left arm tattooed with an indelible marker that labels her as a member of the Les Idoles Terribles project.
Uncanny 2// In addition to merely being faintly implausible at a glance, Livna is especially recognizable and memorable. Her eyes are a bright, saturated brown that edges into a red and seems to catch the light even at night, and lustrous black hair inexplicably reflecting in shades of green.

Genetic Flaws:

Diet// Designed to remain slim and fit in spite of potentially indulgent celebrity lifestyles, agents produced in the Les Idoles Terribles line have hyperactive metabolisms that triple their effective caloric requirements.
Allergies// Due to a lack of oversight in the selection of donor sequences from Les Idoles Terribles several late-production models inherited dust and pollen allergies from the ovum donor, limiting their peak operating environments to clean, interior environments.
Verbal Tic// While normally well-spoken, Livna has a habit of appending statements with or exclaiming herself with the sound 'nya' when stressed or overly excited.

Lessons

  • 1. An information-saturated society such as ours will never lack for points of access.
  • 2. Naked protests are a viable way to exfiltrate agents more durable than their clothes.
  • 3. Sneaking into a secure location, it is better to prevent evidence of your passing than have to destroy it after the fact.
  • 4. The intersect between pop culture and reality is where true power lies.
  • 5. The power of the masses is never yours alone.
  • 6. The price of cybersecurity is eternal vigilance.
  • 7. Never discount the value of well-documented procedures.

Quiz

1: Why did you join the Technocracy?

  • The Technocracy made me, gave me a family, gave me gainful employment even when the project I was created for was ended and gave me a place to prosper in spite of it all.

2: What direction do you believe the world should be steered?

  • A world connected by vast social networks that bridge all strata of society, all races and creeds, gathering the information needed for the best people for the job to make ours the best of all worlds.

3: Are you patriotic towards any unenlightened nation?

  • Never.

4: What do you do when not on duty?

  • Parties, eating out, clubbing- a bit of amateur photography and web design for my personal pages.

5: Do you have any important relations with other members of the Technocracy beyond GPT 4582?

  • My roommate Madison is also our remote operations specialist. We're friends, I guess?

6: Do you have any important relations with unenlightened people?

  • My foster family are unenlightened agents working for the Union. I try to visit them in Pasadena every other weekend.

7: Do you have any strong political opinions? What are they?

  • I'm fairly liberal... on all accounts. Pro-gay marriage, pro-civil liberties, pro-genetic research, and against a drug war which is only managing to create contempt of the law and righteous governance among the sleepers.

8: What is your greatest ambition?

  • Retire from field operations and become a famous media personality. I'm eager to move on from just rubbing shoulders with big figures in entertainment and news media.

9: Are you happy with your present position?
