Hactivist – Nanoemi Function
Hactivist users all hae one thing in common; they are incredibly talented hackers and system users. Whether it is through personalized modded hardware or a unique psyche, all Hactivists can traverse the Sim just as easily as breathing. What they lack in physical prowess they more than make up for with their mental talents and natural instincts. Most are self-taught, having learned their craft through trials and experience. Countless sleepless nights have paid off in an unparalleled understanding of electronics, making them as true digital geniuses. It is this unordinarily, but no less potent, skill that they bring to the Nanomei’s disposal.
Like most Nanomei, when they are jacked in their digital representations are not far off from their material counterparts. Tall, lanky, and downright nerdy, a Hactivist is easy to spot from the rest of his fellow anarchists. While many sport mohawks, spiked jewelry, masks, and hoodies in an attempt to ‘fit’ in with the rest, nearly all Hactivists have something about their person that gives them away; s pair of goggles, a school backpack, or a personal laptop. Their looks are deceiving however, as beneath this goofy attire lies a foe that should not be underestimated.
By literally ‘hacking’ into Pylons on the Server, a Hactivist is able to attack the enemy indirectly through the System itself. While they prefer to avoid direct combat, Hactivits frequently find themselves near the front lines in order to get near their target Pylon. Once connected, Hactivists can upload and download data very quickly. They can then steal data packets from the enemy or drain power from the Schematics itself to further their own computations. This enables them to slow down enemy programs by lagging their connections or speed up an ally by freeing up processes. While they may not be as direct as their chaotic brethren, Hactivists can easily be just as dangerous.
