Luca “Two Times” Vincent, the Fixer – Steal this Cyber Character

http://lukedenby.deviantart.com/

Together, Luca and Leo ran away from an orphanage when they were 12 and 10 years old. Technically, they weren’t brothers, but they might as well have been. As punks living on the streets, the pair got into trouble often (whether that was with the law, the gangs, or the Syndicate). Being a little older, Luca was very protective of Leo, and often paid the price for that. Luca ended up taking beatings, ending up in juvenile detention, and getting sent back into the orphanage… It’s all good, though. He was a scrapper, and he could take it. You just can’t buy loyalty like that.

As Luca finished up his teen years, his ambition only grew. He was always looking for the next score, get-rich-quick scheme, and scam. It was at this time that he and his absolute best friend stopped hanging out as much. They still had a bond of friendship that probably nothing could ever break, but Leo just kept acting like he wanted to go legit. “My little brother has outgrown me, and could now take someone twice my size – he’s a freakin lion. Oh well… he’ll come around one of these days…”). They don’t live together anymore, and they rarely hang out, but their history is as strong as steel. He knows that if he ever got in a jam, he could always count on his little big brother for help, and vice versa.

Luca “Two Times” Vincent is a slick, fast talker. He could sell spots to a leopard, and he knows a lot of people. Unfortunately, all those people know him to be a con artist, so while he may have a lot of low-level contacts, he actually has very few friends. He’s that guy that always ends up at a party – and everyone always wonders how he got in. He can be a little loud and obnoxious, but he’s not an idiot. He knows who the power players are, and is smart enough to never cross them – he’d much rather use them to further his ambitions than to steal from them, because stealing from them would be just stupid (as he’s learned). Regardless, he’s always looking for a way to get in good with the power players.

As a cyber, he’s known as either a Faceman or a Fixer (but also a scam artist – all depending on who you talk to). He’s motivated by money, pure and simple. He’d consider anything for more of it. Well, anything but go against the Syndicate – doing jobs for them would suit him just fine. This is fueled by his own greed just as much as his fear of them. “You don’t cross the Family. You just don’t.”

For now, no one can really pin down his morals, though… He has no problem dropping dope on a bunch of tweakers, or conning someone into buying one of his “authentic” Eternamatic watches. However, he’s just as likely to arrange for a food truck to get stolen and then left open on the street.
