Archetype
The worst nemesis of a corporation often hides within its very own walls.
Behind every jovial public image of a company lies a ruthless, cunning beast willing to do whatever it may take to ensure total domination. The world of business is no place for the innocent or weak. To fight against the savage, one must become savage themselves. Those that refuse to adapt to the barbaric ways of the corporate lifestyle are the first to fall, and only those who shed their empathy and morals are capable of achieving success. It is as simple as dog eat dog.
Personality
RECLUSIVE: The years of solitude have not treated Majima well. They oft prefer not to speak at all, deigning themself to conversation only when the situation demands it. They are cold, curt, at times even aggressive - anything to put an end to idle prattle. They keep no friends at their side, for they need no one save themself.
ABRASIVE: Many argue that there are no redeeming traits to an insufferable nuisance like Majima. And perhaps those who say that are right; few things rouse them from their hateful, solitary tendencies. Should they find a pest to be worthy of their attention, they might choose to condescendingly educate them on how what they're doing is extremely inefficient and stupid, and how they should fix it so that they cease to be a worthless drain on society. You'll never hear a genuine compliment come out of their mouth.
INTELLIGENT: If Majima can get their hands on something and work with it for long enough, they will figure it out. They are a master of reverse engineering, fervently throwing themselves into new knowledge, and bashing their head against a metaphorical wall until they make a breakthrough. Their methods could be described as 'unique', but their ability to get results is irrefutable.
CONFIDENT: Majima is quite confident in their capabilities...for better or for worse. As far as they're concerned, they're practically the best netrunner in the entire country of Japan - and if not, then the concept of 'faking of it until you make it' has proven to be successful for them thus far.
There was no one quite as hateful as Majima, Kinoshita thought. They had always been rather antagonistic, even in the distant years of their youth, but something about growing older had only intensified their bitterness. If things continued on this way, she imagined that Majima might begin kicking puppies and shoving helpless grandmas into traffic as a hobby.
Perhaps it would be for the best if the entire company agreed to let Majima retreat to their hermit cave and slumber peacefully for the rest of their days. It'd certainly lower this month's casualties.
Story
They floated between the planes of existence.
Ethereal. Malevolent. Intangible. The hours ebbed by. The days flew past. Time was an illusion and devoid of reason. They drifted inside purgatory, damned to inaction as they watched their life fade in brief episodes of consciousness: muddied colors, blurred images, a distorted sense of reality where everything simultaneously made sense and no sense at all.
Deprived of their senses—they saw only darkness, felt nothing but the suffocating silence. Their body experienced no heat, no cold, no comfort or discomfort and was detached from their limbs, but these were not their limbs. Their limbs were of flesh and bone, not steel and carbon.
No.
This was not their body, not their limbs, not their soul and not their existence and not their reality and not the truth, a lie and a bad dream they needed to wake up from and be whole once more-
PAST
Scarce is known about Majima, and even less is known about their origin. Some rumor that they were once the child of a wicked oyabun who sold them into servitude after they failed to make it into the Matsundai academy—a washed up reject with a niche skill set unworthy of corporate employment. To an extent, this much is true: Majima has little to offer outside of their extensive network knowledge. Combine that with their unruly attitude and disdain for the general population as a whole...
PRESENT
Following an expensive trade deal, Majima has been brought into the ranks of Kizumashi Neurals. While their employment is dubious at best and they frequently engage in conduct that will eventually lead to their sacking, their contribution—and lasting impression—is undeniable. The company has never seen higher rates of success in their cybersecurity department, and Majima has proven capable of daring to venture into realms that others would outright refuse.
The consequences of being modified so heavily will soon catch up with them, however. No human body can sustain such a burden for long. It is not a matter of if, but rather when.
NETRUNNING
INTERFACING
Entering the NETSPACE at the deepest level possible. By entering a comatose state and becoming one with a cyberdeck, the user can access a visual representation of the NETSPACE. The NETSPACE consists of connected networks, nodules, and data fortresses. Typically used for illicit activities and is banned by a majority of countries.
Netrunning is an extremely dangerous undergoing. Netrunners not only run the risk of having their physical body be completely vulnerable and prone to sabotage, but also face opposition by NETWATCHERS and BLACK ICE. Few netrunners make it to old age, and most burn out long before they ever peak in their careers.
UNSTOPPABLE
BODY AND MIND
An unstoppable force meets an immovable object.
Through the effects of pain editors and brain chemical overrides, this character cannot be stopped by the typical limitations of the human body. For better or for worse, they can continue to fight on through severe physical damage and must be put down – completely – before they stay their hand.
Pain editors come with immense consequences and are not offset by increased healing capacities. The user must still contend with the effects of the injuries suffered by their body, including ruptured muscles and broken bones.
HEIGHTENED REFLEXES
BODY AND MIND
Increased reaction times and perception via reflex tuning. Allows the user to perceive and react to all of the world’s happenings far faster than average. Comes with the side effect of increased agitation and restlessness outside of combat scenarios. Some users complain of depression, anxiety, and other mental disturbances as a result of feeling as though everything in life moves too slow.
Most reflex tuning augmentations are hardwired into the brain stem and cannot be deactivated.THE IN-BETWEEN
BODY
Through advanced cyberoptics, the user can project an augmented reality into their field of vision that allows them to experience both netspace and meatspace at the same time. Such an endeavor is not for the weak — the sensory overload of trying to process the complex data and computations of netspace alongside the real, tangible feedback of meatspace can place a great strain upon the brain and, in worst cases, cause fits of psychosis where the user cannot tell where reality starts and where the cyber world ends.
MAD GENIUS
MIND
No great mind exists without a touch of madness. This individual is highly intelligent — perhaps even bordering on the line of being a genius — but it comes at a great cost. Others find it hard to tell if there's any logic or reasoning behind their grand theories and elaborate explanations, or if it's just another delusional conspiracy that doesn't make any sense.
NEUROTOXIN
MIND
It gnaws at their mind.
The toxin spreads. Slowly, at first. It wraps its acidic tendrils around the wires of their mind, rooting itself deep within the core of their very being. There, it sows its seed, setting the stage for the things to come. It lies dormant until the time is nigh.
By then, the corruption has reached the point of no return.
Their blood boils. Their body reels. Their psyche rips and tears and severs strand by strand, splitting into a thousand microcosmic pieces that will never again be whole. The line between reality and imagination blurs, twisting the entire world into an eternal hellscape of self-inflicted torment and delusions, where the only peace is the certainty of death.
The bell for the dawn of their insanity soon tolls.
Design
Arms and legs are outdated prosthetics salvaged from the Third War. They're often in a state of disrepair. Rusty, chipped, and corroded. Made of titanium steel. Synthetic muscle supports are wrapped around their shoulders, hips, and shoulder blades.
The ports on either side of their skull connect to the cyberdeck implanted into their spine.
Face plates are rivets carved into the skin and are indented. They are not stripes.
Scleras are black. Irises are red with no pupils. Alternative design can include a pinpoint orange pupil.
Body type is skinny and gaunt. Eyes are hooded around the corners and have a prominent monolid with a thick lower lid. Majima should NEVER be drawn with a double eyelid. They also have a large, crooked nose.
Majima's skin tone has changed since their original design. Some artwork is outdated in that regard since they were made at the time of the original design. Please note that the updated version is the tanner/warmer tone.
CYBERDECK IMPLANT
The first and last of its kind. Through the insane experiments of a butcher with no morals, a cyberdeck has somehow been implanted directly into their spinal cord and connected to their nervous system. The consequences are unpredictable — no one has ever been foolish enough to attempt such a procedure — but extensive damage to the body and brain is guaranteed.
Fulfills all the same tasks and capabilities as a standalone cyberdeck. Harnesses the computing power of the brain.
CYBEROPTICS
Complete retinal and optic nerve replacements. Wired to a small data drive that allows for temporary storage of short recordings, which may then be uploaded to the user's DataTerm link. Additionally allows for live display of information that can be readily accessed from the DataTerm link.
Replaces the need for virtuality goggles or other external means of visualizing the netspace. Provides the user with a live projection of the netspace overlaid onto meatspace.
Friends. Enemies. Lovers. Their relationship is turbulent. She infuriates them. She infatuates them. She is intoxicating. Bad for them—bad for her—in every way, but they can't put it to an end.
They do not know what to think. She freed them from the hands of their former captors, but is it truly freedom, or have they simply been trafficked from one master to another? How long will her faux generosity last? No good deed is done without ulterior motives, and especially not by Kusama Kizumashi. They do not trust her.
