Character: Root Canon: Person of Interest Canon Point: Mid-S3, after "/"
Crime: A lot of murder.
Background: Root is a peppy irrepressible hacker and hitman turned hero. No, really, she's doing great at this good guy thing! She has an alarming devotion to the Machine, a worldwide super-intelligence A.I., but she's not a blind zealot about A.I. in general -- just the Machine. Root is full of quips and irreverence on the surface but underneath is ruthlessly pragmatic.
Abilities: Hacking, guns, a mildly terrifying level of commitment. She's also very, very good at pretending to be someone she's not and taking on cover identities.
Plans: Oh my gosh, this is basically the best possible time for me to have chosen to pick up Root. She thinks this A.I. is an adorable baby who needs some help and woe betide those who get in her way to rescue it. Meanwhile, she's having serious grief over her separation from the Machine and losing her purpose, and she's waffling between legitimate existential dread over being in a simulation and a thoroughly rational scientific understanding of the questionable nature of reality to start with.
If I'm playing her right she is off-putting and frankly weird, so she's more or less fun to throw at just about anyone, to be honest! Really looking to get some CR established for her and get out there. The Machine would want her to be protecting people while she's here so she will be attempting to do that if the opportunity arises, but she's less a street vigilante and more a surgical knife focused on her primary goal, which right now is helping the A.I.
Also she's very into violent sassy women, especially if they're secretly also nerds. Prepare to be flirted with if you fit in any of these categories.
How can you run into my character? Please come plot with me for this event!!
