2XXX. Technology has led to a Meta that literally is the second life, the next frontier, and quite possibly the primary setting for people. Traversing the Meta can be an exciting experience, but there's a danger hidden within the second reality...

Turn down the wrong alleyway, I dare you. You may just run into the biggest criminal nomad of this world, and once your eyes fall upon that leather... Or that unsettling mask...

Know the tag; R4zrc0de. Call him R4zr, or Razer. An embodiment of seven deadly sins. Hacking is an understatement for him - his ability to remain elaborate and relevant with change is what makes him the highest honor of threats. He looks as he pleases. He goes where he wants. He takes what he likes. Nobody who wants a chance gets in the way of that. If you do, you can consider yourself lucky when you're let off with injuries most people claim they can feel after removing their VR buds.

Why not just hack back? Why not dox? Well, Razer is obviously elaborate, but other hackers have only gotten a peak at the truly elaborate lengths this monster goes to - layers and layers of encryption, proxy, and protection. Not to mention, the threat of him returning the favor - try to find out a peep of him, and the moment he finds out (which he will), you don't know what could happen to you in real life.

Such a dangerous threat leaves most people with two options; steer clear of Razer, or give him what he wants. However, there are some people who find themselves entering a sort of 'fan' position with him. It's strange, but there's a cult-following of fans of people like him; it's a sort of celebrity appeal. How about you? What'll it be, when you walk down that alley - look the other way when you see him, or give him what he wants?

Abis Hering. 19. Paranoid out the wazoo. In life, he's nothing but insecure, unassertive, lacking any kind of charm or nerve. Then, he got to experience a world where he didn't have to be who he was. It started easily enough - he used his knowledge to give a little bit of hell to the people who had done the same for him way back when. It devolved with every threat... Then every piece of mockery... Then, every wrong look. Now, he was nothing like his real self, here. And because of that, his life outside was covered. Tape on cameras, every possible firewall and safeguard for cybersecurity... Paranoia that kept him safe from repercussion. He was just a lonely boy, which was the sad truth... Was he truly fine sealing that fate with things he could do?

You entered the Meta world with a set of buds. Maybe this was your first time... Maybe you've been doing this for a while. Regardless, you wanted to have some fun. So, you saw a few sites, entered a few 'rooms' which had music or activities, before hitting a neon bar, wanting to end the night with a bit of edge. What really surprised you though, once you had been sitting at that bar for a bit, was that just a few seats away, someone else sat, too. Someone strangely familiar. You didn't know if they'd been there before you sat, or if they just sat down. All you knew was that you'd seen them before, on a piece of news.

His name was R4zrc0de. And you were within reach of him.

//Alright! You made it this far, sweet. This is gonna be fun, idk what I want from this RP so you're free to have fun and introduce ideas! I just know I want romance to come from it, surprisingly. I expect good grammar, 3rd person responses, and I am asking for kinda longer responses for this one. I'm also hoping for people who'd love to move to discord, but that's not a requirement at all. I think that's about it, but it is 2 am so I may be forgetting something. Oh well!
