My character, for your consideration. 

I'm looking for a picture reference, so please excuse the lack of description. 


[hider=Gideon Cadence]
Name: Gideon Cadence 
Tagsign: N/A
Status: [s]Heir[/s] [b]Disinherited[/b]
Age: 30

Bio: Cadence Corp is a leading producer of high end cybernetics. You won't find their products in a back alley mod-surgeon office; they only sell to medical doctors, and even amongst them, only to those who pass Cadence Corp Certification. It's the real ritzy stuff. 

As one might imagine, Gideon grew up in the very lap of luxury. In his youth, he attended the best prep school, and was allowed to pursue any leisure he fancied. His parents later determined this to be their mistake. Gideon took up art, and never put it back down, even when it was time to buckle down at an Ivy League school for a business degree. 

He flunked out of Yale, and used his expense account to get a loft in the city instead. There, he practiced his art, did designer drugs, and generally partied for four months before his mother found out. His parents cut him off, meaning for it to simply be a lesson, and to accept him back when he straightened up. 

Gideon learned a lesson, alright, just not the one they intended. When the money dried up, all of his "friends" suddenly became scarce as well. He was able to sell paintings to get by, at least for a while, but he had to move to a poorer part of town, and eventually he couldn't even afford that. He realized that without money, no one had his back. He had thought himself popular, and the truth made him feel a loneliness that was altogether alien to him before that point in his life. 

Before long, Gideon had to start taking odd jobs to keep a roof over his head. Then he started to break the law when necessary. It was when the law could no longer hold him back that he started the graffiti. Already a classically trained painter, he took to the new medium like a natural, and started learning the styles that he saw on the street. 

Nowadays, most people don't even know he was once an heir. He seems for all the world like your average street artist and ne'er-do-well. And he's finally happy. 

Cybernetics: Gideon has Cadence Optics, which were top of the line roughly six years ago. This still makes them pretty damn good, by today's street standards. He has incredible resolution, digital zoom and enhancement, and a robust identification and translation suite. 

They also have a "Situational Awareness Protocol" that is designed to protect the user by identifying threats using data available to the system, and a complex algorithm.
