Setu Savalinga
Setu Savalinga (a.k.a. Rangi)
Setu was born on the oceanic island of Papa New Guinea, in 2059; where he and his parents were on the lower end of the economic totem pole. In order to better their sons life, the pair moved into the Seattle area of the UCAS area, but soon after, and coincidentally following the death of his father, the Seattle area began falling into disarray. Setu's mother was able to scrounge enough money together to get him into a semi-prestigious tech-school, as he'd always shown promise in the field, and wanted to get out of his parents financial situation, however, due to some unforeseen circumstances involving debt to the wrong sorts of people, Setu had to skip town, leaving his home, his friends, and his mother behind; Setu does however send money to his mother occasionally, whether that be out of kindness, or some sense of guilt, he doesn't know.
Regardless of this, ever since his sudden exodus from Seattle and his schooling, Setu has made a name for himself in the undermining of common security systems, and in minor crime involving the stealing of Nuyen. Since then Setu has taken up the Alias Rangi, (Polynesian God of Sky & Messages) an homage to his families heritage.
Setu also has a three year old daughter named Alhena, who he had with a three month long fling with an elven woman named Angeline. Alhena lives with her mother.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Setu is a broad shouldered, muscular looking man, with an emphasis being placed on his larger than life build. Setu is taller and bigger than most men of his meta-type.
Body Features
Setu bares multiple cybernetics, including but not limited to; a cyberjack port built into the back of his skull, carbon-fiber ears for enhanced hearing, a fingertip compartment on his right index finger, a smartlink eye camera, and sub-vocal microphone patch.
Facial Features
Setu's face is plump and friendly, often wearing a kind smile. His eyes have a small metallic glint to them, and seem to be a different color every time you see them.
While obviously not a man who gets into many scraps, his face bares quite a few scratches and scars from the occasional mugging attempt, or loose bar fight.
Identifying Characteristics
Setu has shoulder-length hickory colored hair, which he frequently has pulled back into his signature undercut top knot.
Setu also has a metallic band across his nose, possibly from a particular bad gunfight, or maybe even a tumble on the sidewalk, no one is quite sure.
Physical quirks
Setu likes his large size, and often stands as tall as he can; even with this fact however, Setu does understand many people can get intimidated by his physique, so to counteract this, Setu has adapted to being as friendly as possible with strangers and friends, and it'd be a rough day to catch him without at least a light smirk.
Special abilities
Setu's got an eye for making tech do his bidding, whether that be used for extending his Hollywood Simsense memberships, or for breaking open a particularly unsecured ZOG-ATM, depends on the day and mood.
Apparel & Accessories
Setu is anything but original, his wardrobe consists of the same type of Hawaiian shirts, all with color changing capabilities, all of which combined with his 'famous' pine colored bomber jacket, with orange lining.
He also wears a gold cross necklace that his mother gave him when he left for school, he isn't very religious at all, but it reminds him of his roots.
Mental characteristics
Gender Identity
Setu's a man's man, but certainly loves piercings, and isn't afraid of some man to man comradery.
Sexuality
While not much of a sex fiend, Setu's been known to visit a few elven "parlors" from time to time.
"I mean hey, who'm I to turn down a set of keebler knockers!"
Education
University of Washington in Seattle, Technology Degree (Unfinished)
Employment
Self-Employed
Intellectual Characteristics
While generally considered quite intelligent by those who know him well (which are few and far in-between), he tends to give off quite a brutish and himbo-esc aura.
Morality & Philosophy
If it'll break once, it'll probably break again.
Cleaning up is pretty much an excuse to call yourself better than you are.
Taboos
Do NOT spill shit, on his Hawaiian shirts.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
Setu wants nothing more than to make a healthy sum of Nuyen, collect his mother and daughter, and retire to a wealthy resort somewhere in the Oceania.
Whether he'll even be able to do so, is another matter entirely.
