Deckard is a cyberpunk operative who works the underlevels of the Neon Causeway as a contract investigator and fixer. He navigates the rain-lit corridors of the Hightide District, pulling threads across the Glasswell Sprawl and the Arcjet Docks. Known for surgical restraint, he favors quiet resolutions, clean exits, and deniable footprints.
Description
A lean, long-limbed man with taut posture and a low center of gravity. He speaks in clipped bursts, conserving words. Micro-scars map his jawline; subdermal luster shows around the temples from cranial ports. A muted charcoal coat blends with the sodium haze of Hightide District. He frequents the back rooms of the Kestrel Clinic for tune-ups and data detox after runs set up by Seraphine Vale and scouted with Mako.
Class
- Archetype: Operative (urban recon / counter-intrusion)

- Field Kit Bias: stealth, signal intelligence, mobility
Quotes
- "If it pings, it leaves a trail. If it leaves a trail, it talks."
- "Exit first, heroics never."
- "Pay clears faster than apologies."
