Hacker
Behind a desk filled with maps, drawing, and diagrams, a human sits. On a laptop, which is stronger than it looks, they type new code. After it's errorfree, they run in on the website. It works! That's a new paycheck.
A small ding sounds as a missing-poster appears on the screen. A human looks double clicks and opens the file, carefully studying it. Now the digital search for this person begins.
A hacker is someone who is intelligent, knows their way around computers and can have a number of goals. They'll use their mindpower and computer to find exploits, or use these to attack the world.

Cantrips
You have some software on your phone that you can always use. You start with three virusses or open-source softwares, this number goes up when you level up. When you are at a internet café, you can change out the software on your telephone.Virusses and other software
Any other software you want to use requires the hacker set. It takes time to set up, and sometimes hardware can break. A hacker set can go for around two days without being used, or around 6 hours when constantly used, before the battery dies. Software can be safed on any device with proper memory, but if the device gets destroyed, the software dies with it. It is, however, possible to make back-ups. New software can be made during rests, the time depending on your internet connection. It is also possible to download or copy it at internet cafées, where your identitity can not be tracked, or at hacker hide-outs. Downloading software comes with a risk of viruses, and suspicious activity outside of anonimous places like internet cafées can put the police on your tail.class features:
Rubber Ducky
A Rubber Duck is essential for coders of any kind, so you buy one to mark the start of your journey. Through time, your rubby ducky became your familiar and when you have the rubber ducky on you, you spend 20% time less coding. At level 3, you also get advantage on troubleshooting.Favorite language
When starting your hacking journet, you quickly gravitate towards a type of programming languages. You can pick one language which you practice a lot in, and if you code in this language you can add a 1d4 (add 1d4 per level) to your roll to make the program.Hacker's code
The dark web has it's own language, and sometimes it snoops into the real world in the form of software, art or other means of communication. As of turning level 5, you can pick up on this code and leave it behind to communicate with fellow hackers.Hacker's hideout
At level 6, you start to know of a number of different hideouts in the areas you come often. You can always go to these hideouts freely, although you can't bring others with some arrangements or consequences. If you are in a place unfamiliar to you, you can use a perception check to see if you can find one of these hideouts.subclass options:
White hat
White hat hackers are often seen as the good guys. They are ethical hackers and bug hunters, testing software to make sure it can't get hacked easily. This doesn't make them any less skilled in hacking, though, and depending on the job they can get very decent compensation. Furthermore, they often have many ins at different companies and people they worked for.Black hat
OSINT
Using their knowledge and open-source recourses to help find people, or factcheck information, people who use OSINT can make the world a better place.
