Description
Sara Fredrickson is a typical, friendly IT girl living in Boston, MA. She works at the engineering headquarters of Red Hat in nearby Westford testing software optimality. After work hours, she logs on with her more well-known name, Sik282, and works with other Virtual Adepts to cripple advancing threats, both mundane and magickal.
Background
Sara awoke while trying to fix a friend's computer that had gone on the fritz. Her avatar appeared in the form of a Windows-hating Windows dialog box and told her she knew full well how to fix the computer. When a simple Unix command prompt appeared, she typed in "Fix Computer." The monitor lit back up and her friend's computer still works perfectly to this day. She started taking computer classes in high school and went to a community college in Boston to get her technician's certifications. She met her mentor, Steven Barnes, in her Large Business Networking class. He informed her she was a mage and began to teach her Mage Computing 547 during his office hours. As she met more Virtual Adepts, she began to build a network of her own, all the while continuing with her career. She started working at the same community college until MIT offered her a position.
She knows the proper terms for very few technological parts and devices, as different people refer to some things by different names. She prefers to simply describe what they are, such as calling a thumb/flash drive "portable memory".
Paradigm
Her driving goal in life and Ascension is Occam's Razor. She believes in finding and executing the simplest command. Everything else is redundant code and therefore unnecessarily complicated.
