A hacker carrying on the family name.
PERSONALITY
Personality Description
Excitable, energetic if very aggressive. She seems to be able to make friends with incredible ease with her ridiculous, over-the-top...errm, I'm gonna put 'charm'...It doesn't work on everyone I'm sure. Often, oddly soppy in her opinion of things. But she is very proud of being dubbed the Fourth Tyro, quite a name among Hackers...And revolutionaries...
Quirks
Do you count the wish to be a furry a quirk? All right, the fact that she treats her hardware pod like a baby when its so much as scratched is certainly quirky...
Fears
Getting caught and what she might face as punishment: The 'Tyro' name soiled and being enrolled in some experiment somewhere.
Goal
To stop the bill that threatens privacy entirely and live up to the reputation.
Likes
Computers, Furries, anything fluffy, Unusual Clothes and weird ice cream flavours, more or less in that order.
Dislikes
Scratches to 'Benny' (her Hardware pod), depressed situations or people.
Strengths
Is perfectly able to modify almost any piece of equipment if given time and has actually started to under go lessons in ancient martial arts. OK, its Karate rather than. maybe, Kung-fu, but its something. She can throw a punch properly at least. Dana is a good hacker too, able to leave no trace 78% of the time.
Weaknesses
Is hardly going to frighten anyone with her Yellow Belt...If the thugs she's going to fight are some what competent, she'll be either knocked out or under an arm quite quickly. Also, she has a weakness for realised fantasy, if that makes sense.
EQUIPMENT
Abilities & Skill & Combat Rating
[good]
Clothing/Armor
She wears nothing more advanced than just her favourite antique, scarlet coat with the curling hems, a bandanna, a T-shirt with something cute on it and jeans with some light trainers.
Combat Prowess
A yellow belt in Karate will mean you can punch and kick properly with a couple of moves to add a little variation. But, don't expect a massive light from her. She's still only learning...
Abilities
The ability to learn how to mod practically anything.
Skills
Her skills with her computer systems are well-known and quite effective. She might not be able to hack without anyone knowing all the time but she's very likely to get what she wanted.

Type: Blunt
Ammo: N/a
Information: Its a metal pole. Its the size of her forearm and is good for whacking people, just in case. Enough said.

Relatives
Of direct decent of a line of noted Philanthropists. A member of the family takes up the name of 'Tyro', a character that was then turned into a persona way back in 2024, by some writer on the internet it turned out, to try and calm a city wide gang war. After that, Tyro the second, a woman this time, was most noted for saving Governor Obama from protesters. Yeah, no relation to who your thinking of but still important. Tyro the third created Tyrozillia, a personalised operating system made from Windows Vista. Firstly, it was fixed where Microsoft had left problems, then fiddled with until it looked nothing like the original and was super-efficient, like an arrowhead through a vacuum. Tyrozillia specialised in covert operations. 'The Illusion' program kept viable IP addresses ready to send while keeping the real operations as quiet as possible. It would even send fake attacks elsewhere thanks to a secondary machine he could link to. Tyro the Third was gunned down after creating make two of the hacking OS.

Bio/History
Dana was born in London in the local hospital. It was always said that you could run your television off her because she never seemed to stop. 5, 6, 7. She was already playing computer games, fiddling with mobiles then chatting with friends. 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. Wrote her first program from scratch to say 'hello world' in school computer lessons. That snowballed quite a bit. 13, manages to make an Instant Messaging program for a client. 14, 15, 16. Takes her skills to collage. 17, 18. Off to expand knowledge in university.
Its here that she hears about the Hacker's movement. Now, she's never actually taken much interest in politics or the actions of the powers that be up to this point but the interest grew when her cousin joined Anarchy. She sailed through studies while trying her hardest to look them up. Yeah! Try and find out about a secret hacker group on public forums. Like trying to find an invisible bluebottle in a haystack. Its probably gone already when you get near and you can't see it anyway. She decides to get as much information from her cousin - Tyro the Third to be exact. All she really got was turned into a Guinea pig for bits of the Tyrozilla OS's. There is the Program 2.0 for hacking but Tyro's have this hereditary need to make their own versions of their equipment...
Then there was the strange fact of Tyro's death. After being shot in Shropshire by, well a gang was blamed but there were so many weapon holes and bruises no-ones sure. So a closed coffin funeral. Just standing around, mourning the cousin she didn't actually know all that well.
And then there was the package waiting for here at home. Three things flopped out. Tyrozilla MK 2 OS flash card and a long, lengthy note.
She was in the Anarchy in her cousin's place. A small, cast-metal badge of two fox tails had clattered to the surface. They were taking her because she was Tyro's test subject. She was groomed. She also was given a small tidy sum in a bank account and his equipment. The note said simply:
Tread lightly, for we are the silent fox
Those who are above it all and free
From your formers,
We give our name,
Its weight, pressure, honour, grace and pride
To thee.
Tyro the First, 2056.
Wow...like being told you were to become Batman really...
