Background and Origins


(WIP; remaining major info to be filled out soon)







Powers
Technopathy

Tyler was born with psionic powers specially attuned to machines and computers. With these powers, also known as "Technopathy" or "Cyberkinesis", he is able to remotely interact with and somewhat manipulate machines with only a thought, and can even read what they're about to do next - much like how a typical telepath can read and interact with the minds of other living beings. His technopathy also allows Tyler to see/sense radio waves and other forms of wireless communication, thus enabling him to zero in on a device's location from a distance.

This power is always active, though Tyler can shift its focus as needed, and can even 'tune it out' if he has to. While his psionics can't initiate interactions with other fully-organic minds, the simple fact that they are present does help him resist most forms of psionic intrusion, though his mind can still be breached by powerful telepaths determined to do so.


Self-Digitization

As his most recently-awakened power, this is what defines Tyler as Coderunner: Self-Digitization. He can turn himself into a construct of pure data capable of manifesting in real space or uploading himself into nearby computerized systems and networks. The fact that he can do so without technological assistance sets him apart from the typical Decker or Netrunner, though the end result could be considered more or less similar in cyberspace. Tyler is also capable of flight and superspeed in this form.

While in this form, however, Tyler happens to trade one susceptibility for another: He becomes completely impervious to traditional organic telepathy in this form, but other technopaths/cyberkenitecs will be able to breach his mind in this state - provided they manage to overpower his own psionic resistances, of course. This also means that if he ever does end up mind-controlled in any way, toggling this form will more than likely break him free of it in most cases.


Gear and Equipment
Laptops

Tyler typically keeps a spare laptop or two with him at all times, using them for both his work as a Professional White-Hat Hacker and as a means of performing a multitude of other tasks as needed, such as decoding encryptions, encrypting files, and writing his own programs. He always maintains a clean installation on these laptops and makes sure to never leave any personal information or important data on them, ensuring very little is lost should any of these laptops ever end up missing, stolen, or even hacked by a third party.

In addition to these laptops, Tyler keeps a set of USB storage units with him that contain all of the programs he uses on a regular basis, isolated from networks and computerized systems until he needs them.


Supplementary Programs

With his extensive knowledge of coding and cybersecurity, Tyler has written a plethora of different programs - many of which having been designed to stress-test various forms of security software. He has also typed up a wide selection of programs for his direct use when he digitizes himself, though the vast majority of them only actually work while he is in cyberspace.

At their most basic, these 'Supplementary Programs' give him some form of digital equipment or weapon for him to use, such as a laser sword. These programs vary greatly in complexity and function, however, and are often limited only by Tyler's imagination - and programs that are not self-target effects are typically unusable in the physical world. He doesn't see this limitation as much of a problem, though, as most of his heroics usually happen in cyberspace.

OOC Notes

While his identity is far from secret, Coderunner is a fairly low-profile hero thanks to the fact that most of his heroics occur in cyberspace, and as such his deeds as a hero tend to fly under the radar for the most part. His heroics may not get much press coverage, but anyone keeping tabs on what happens in cyberspace or in the world of cybersecurity will likely have heard of Tyler's deeds as Coderunner.

Coderunner's concept takes inspiration from Tron and the Cyberpunk genre, but the spark that brought the character to life occurred while the player @Bluslate was listening to the song "Digital Shadow" by "Miracle of Sound", the lyrics of said song also influencing part of Coderunner's kit. One could consider this song to be Coderunner's theme in some sense thanks to this fact.
