Background

Lowtech isn’t just a hacker—he’s a digital ghost, a man who exists entirely off the grid except where he chooses to be seen.

Once, he might have had a normal life, but at some point, he burned every connection to his past, rewriting himself as a man who trades in secrets, digital blackmail, and stolen corporate data.

He’s not a hero, not a villain—just a guy who thrives in the digital underworld.

• Started as a black-hat hacker in his teens, breaching government databases, corporate systems, and private security firms.
  
  
• Gained notoriety after exposing a corporate meta-research scandal, forcing him to erase his real identity to avoid retribution.
  
  
• Now operates as a broker—he doesn’t just steal information, he sells access to the right people.
  
  
• His clients include criminals, rogue metas, anti-corporate rebels, and sometimes even heroes who need information they can’t obtain legally.
  
  
• His Rules:
  
  
• Information isn’t free—everything comes with a price.
• He doesn’t work for one side—loyalty is bad for business.
• He doesn’t get involved—he provides the data, what happens next isn’t his problem.

Powers/Skills/Abilities/Weaknesses

Primary Skill – Cybernetic Mastermind

• Elite hacker—able to breach high-security systems, crack encryption, and manipulate digital footprints to erase records.
• Underworld Networking—has access to private servers, black-market data leaks, and deep web transaction records that no one else can reach.
• Data Ghosting—can scrub and rebuild identities, making people disappear digitally (or ensuring someone can never hide again).

Secondary Skills – The Hacker’s Toolkit

• Social Engineering Expert—doesn’t just rely on computers, knows how to manipulate people into revealing what he needs.
• Remote Surveillance Gear—can tap into security feeds, track movements, and intercept private communications.

Weaknesses:

• Physically useless in a fight—he’s not trained, not fast, and avoids violence at all costs.
• Not a combat meta—if caught in a dangerous situation, his only defense is running or talking his way out.
• Paranoid & Overcautious—burns locations frequently, avoids meeting people face-to-face unless necessary.
• His curiosity gets him in trouble—he can’t resist a puzzle, even if it leads him into dangerous situations.
