Neil Covington, aka "Boots", used to have it all.

He had real food, and a real job and had benefited from a real education, and real medical care. It was just a shame all the people around him were fake in order to make it all possible.

Decadence does strange things to people. In a steel and glass world filled with sedentary office drones, Neil was vital, handsome, confident and physical. He played the game, and pursued women and career advancement with equal energy. Trouble was, he grew a conscious.

Neil had done a lot of things that he was not exactly proud of as an EBM CorpSec Officer, and had never lost sleep over them. But when EBM Junior Exec Jefferey Kai began bringing in children from the outside for his own purposes, Neil drew a hard line.

It cost him, dearly.

Now he's out, no longer the big fish in the small pond, and it's taking everything he has just to keep swimming.

Hooks:

- Boots had left behind a long line of sexual conquests and eclectic hook ups. Women, and the pursuit of them, have historically taken up the majority of his free time. While it may occasionally open a door or two, it generally just causes drama and trouble.

- Boots is now "Persona non Grata" as far as EBM and Jeff Kai are concerned. Not only did Neil (ineffectually) blow the whistle on the mans illegal pet projects, but he slept with the mans wife. Emiko Kai, despite the affair, is also no longer a fan.

- Boots now works as a private body guard to make ends meet. Dignitary and executive protection are generally his thing. He looks reputable, speaks the language, and is competent in his craft. He also is one of the few people on the streets that had an inside experience with how the Corp Cops operate.
