Pre-Incarnation: Webmind / The WWW Trilogy
A short blurb about your character's AU: Walter here, while born in Mossgate, has been away for most of his life... first due to less-than-pleasant cult-related circumstances, then due to university. Now he's back, having learned how to carve out a niche for himself in the computer world (and also learned about himself - he's FTM trans, and very glad his meds work), and has been settling back into the town life for the past two years. While shy, he's the helpful sort, and always willing to add a joke to the conversation (or vent about the latest stupid thing a client has done).
Open/Wanted CR: FRIENDS. While the rest of his family is still back in London (if someone really wants to app someone as his younger sister, that's an option), Walter knows enough about himself that he really shouldn't be going it alone. >.> Flatmates would also be a good idea.
Anything else? He's going to be veeery quiet once his first recognizable echo kicks in, since it'll push his reflexes and thoughtspeed TO THE MAX and... he needs to get a handle on that.
And try and run every security test possible on the Network, once he figures out that's a thing.
