#### > Chipper
A Chipper, or casually Chiphead/Chipped, has purchased a Mirrochip on the black market. While each person in Etheria is a node in the galactic ‘Net, each mind is blocked from accessing it directly by the thought barrier. Not the Chipper, they plug the Mirrochip into their port, and then can jack into the Matrix. This is a projection of the ‘Net as a virtual space a chipper can enter and exit. A serious Chipper also has a Sleeve, a device that wraps an arm, which can be loaded with caps containing single-use Matrix programs. Using these highly illegal tools, a Chipper can explore the ‘Net in ways no one else can.

- **Chipped the Fuck Up**: You don't have just any run of the mill Mirrochip, you got a special one with cracked out specs. You may markdown Wealth between jobs to load up to five charges into it. You may spend charges in Matrix contests to get leverage.
- **Total Neural Lace**: You let Control advancements division do a number on your neural pathways, jacking up your reaction time beyond known limits. Painful though to use, but powerful. You may markdown Comfort at any time to provide leverage for combat and Matrix contests.

## Gig: Face

#### > Face
A Face, or casually a Shill, is a particular type of confidence man with a focus on charisma and charm. A social tactician or merit, but unlike the Shark, the Face remains the same always. They embrace a charismatic persona and flex the power of a mighty Patron behind them. Building a web of support in all arenas as they go forth, the Face hides in plain sight.

## Gig: Heavy

#### > Heavy
A Heavy, or casually a Hitter, is a combat specialist. Not a ground, air, or space warfare specialist, but a behind-the-scenes show up suddenly and take some people out kind of combat professional. There are many types of Heavies, but the most common is the Duplicator. You use a special single-use cap called Carbon-Copy to put yourself into a Red type Automata (combat synthetic), and essentially fall into a temporary coma. Then you do whatever you need to do in your synthetic body. Eventually, your body recovers, and the copy of yourself in the Auto burns out. In order to better serve your needs, you bought an Autoworks at some point. This is a toolkit that lets you tool up Automata, including straight changing their model type.
@@ 155,7 145,29 @@
- **Stealth Mode Unlocked**: When you CC yourself into an Auto, it's stealth features are unlocked. It becomes undetectable by other Autos and nearly silent and invisble to the naked eye and medium quality sensors. If stealth can be used to win a Contest, you automatically have Means/leverage for the roll.
- **Yes, that is a missle rack**: When you CC into a Red type Auto, it fabricates a serious business missle rack. When in a Combat Situation, your attack contests automatically have boths Means and one leverage. If you trade these in, you can instead attack all valid targets at once, and the rack is disabled for the current situation.

A Shark, or casually a Hustler, is a con artist at the core. A truly pliable social creature moving in and out of personas. One who is not afraid to use chicanery to get what they are after.

It is often a thankless job, as when you do your work right, it seems like nothing was ever done at all.

#### > Mastermind
A Mastermind, or casually Wizard, is a true schemer. You are the one to make plans within plans. You always play the long game. Beyond that, you are a detail-focused organizer who holds crews of operatives together. A Mastermind has a large load on their shoulders, so at some point, you acquired a Simlet/Sim, an extra intelligence living inside the ‘Net of some power. This Sim does much of the heavy lifting for you, letting you focus on the big picture.

#### > Technomancer
A Technomancer, or, more casually, a Mage, is someone who has been taught the ways of technomancy by a mentor. This is an advanced skill set that can create direct effects, not unlike magic, from the use of pure ACE. Technomancy is a high crime in the Empire and is actively hunted. The rub to that is the first magic taught to the technomancer is cloaking magic. If the safe is beyond that wall, the technomancer walks through it.
