Ethernet

Ethernet is a Obrimos Free Council from Chicago, Illinois.

Overview

Quote: "I need a bread board, that spool of wire, a pair of pliers and some chewing gum. What? ... No the gum isn't to stick anything in place, stupid, I just have spaghetti-breath from lunch."

Juniper grew up privileged and rebellious, shouldering her "geek-girl," stigma with dignity and plowing her way through her first year of technical college with high marks. She's intuitively smart when it comes to electronics and computers, and was hoping to branch into artificial intelligence research before she Awakened. She is still interested in learning more about computers, but now her time is filled with more metaphysical studies. Her college professors have taken a back seat to the central Mentor in her life, Laplace.

He recruited her about two years ago, when she'd just started underground school, and he heled her to make sense of the strange things that had begun happening in her life. Laplace spends more time in person with Juniper than any other member of the cabal, more because he sees her as a protege than as someone needing extra attention. He's shown her how magical practice is not limited to candles and circles of salt - that she can find meaning in the technology she's already comfortable working with.

When Open Source began learning more about the latest struggles to find the Celestial Flange, Juniper, now called Ethernet, was the mage called on to buttress the security of their group's server. She's made sure that their mundane firewall protection is top of the line, and the group has worked together to place powerful wards around the equipment each of them use to stay in contact. Most other mages don't even know about SOS, and Ethernet goes to great lengths to keep it that way.

As the mods in Chicago intensifies, and political alliances become more important, Juniper just keeps to herself and makes sure she'd ready. She's not sure what all the fuss is about, so there might be this artifact thing - so what? All she knows is that when the shit hits the fan, she will be there to protect herself and her friends from the fallout.

Description

Those who meet Juniper face-to-face are usually surprised at what a slight young woman she is. She's in her early 20s, about 5'6" and looks like a heavy wind might just carry her away. Her light brown hair falls just over shoulder length, framing a pretty face with brown doe-eyes. She doesn't really need to wear make-up and dresses like a typical college kid in jeans, T-shirts, backpack and tennis shoes.

Her Nimbus manifests as an aura of hyper-real detail around her, as though the air in her presence is a lens.
