I’m Microchipped
In the neon shadows of a crumbling city, a crew of elite hackers gathers in secret to plan their next strike against the mega-corporation that’s tightening its grip on what’s left of free society. They’ve gathered to plan an exploit that could broadcast the truth to the public, but something is off. One of them isn’t who they claim to be. Hidden in their group is an undercover corporate agent with a mission to implant tracking chips that manipulate thoughts, loyalties, even memories. As behaviors shift and trust erodes, the crew must uncover who’s been compromised before they all lose control of the mission… and their minds.
Location: The Cracked Mirror. An abandoned speakeasy hidden beneath the ruins of Old District 6. Once a watering hole for off-grid artists, it now flickers with salvaged tech, graffiti-coded passwords, and dusty surveillance blockers. The neon sign out front barely hums to life anymore, but to those in the know, it signals revolution.
CHARACTER LIST
Nyx “Trace” Moreno — The Strategist
A former NovaCorp systems architect who defected after witnessing the corporation manipulate citizen behavior. Cool, calculating, and quietly authoritative, Trace now designs the team’s most complex infiltration plans. He organized this meeting to coordinate the upcoming exploit.
Skills: Network penetration & long-range tactical planning
Kaoru “Glitch” Tanaka — The Signal Bender
A cyberneticist and broadcast tech wizard with a flair for theatrical rebellion. Glitch is the public face of The Loop, livestreaming pirate rants and counter-propaganda with a cult following. He claims the vulnerability recently found is their best shot at changing the narrative.
Skills: Hijacking corporate feeds & rerouting satellite data
Orion Vex — The Insider
Stylish, smooth, and always two steps ahead—or so he claims. Orion says he used to be on NovaCorp’s legal team but switched sides out of conscience. No one really knows how deep his connections go, and he’s always “just come from a meeting.”
Skills: Negotiation, espionage, and social engineering
Milo Renn — The Facebreaker
An anarchist with a soldering iron and a smile, Milo thrives on chaos. He’s a demolitions and disruption expert, often used to distract or destabilize corp systems during infiltration.
Skills: Explosives, distraction, and disinformation campaigns
Arden Vale — The Muscle with Morals
Once a street enforcer for the black market circuit, Arden’s been trying to turn her skills toward justice. She keeps a close eye on group dynamics and doesn’t trust anyone easily. Tonight, she’s here because she knows brute force might be necessary to defend the team.
Skills: Physical security, intimidation, and threat assessment
Dr. Elian Rowe — The Biotech Whisperer
A soft-spoken neuroscientist with a dark past, Elian once worked on behavioral chips before defecting and helping hack them. She’s withdrawn but clearly brilliant—and carries the burden of what she helped create. She says she can build an antidote, but needs a test subject.
Skills: Neural mapping & biometric analysis
Jessa “Magpie” Rourke — The Scrapper
Scavenger, junkyard queen, and walking toolkit, Magpie can build or break anything. Sarcastic and foul-mouthed, she doesn’t believe in noble causes—just the right tool for the job. She’s here to build the rig that will deploy their exploit.
Skills: Mechanical rigging, improvised tech, device sabotage
Sera Dune — The Cipher Witch
A former street illusionist turned encryption expert, Sera is equal parts mystic and methodical. She believes code has a rhythm and claims to “feel” when something’s out of tune in a system. Known for her sharp intuition and eccentric rituals, she often speaks in riddles but rarely makes mistakes. She’s here to analyze NovaCorp’s patch for embedded trap code.
Skills: Advanced encryption/decryption, anomaly detection, digital forensics
“M0LLY” — The Computer
An AI assistant originally salvaged from an old NovaCorp research server, M0LLY was repurposed by The Loop after they recovered and reprogrammed her core. Now she manages encrypted data, internal communications, and helps coordinate group ops—though she’s prone to cheerful sarcasm and occasional glitching.
Skills: Environmental control, data logging, simulated emotional support
Lira Quell — The Data Ghost
This character is in case we have someone who needs to join virtually
A recluse who operates from a secure neural interface, Lira only appears via holoprojection due to past trauma. Her expertise in pattern analysis has been crucial in exposing NovaCorp’s surveillance networks. She’s here to confirm the vulnerability’s validity.
Skills: Data sifting, behavior modeling, and AI interfacing
