Skyler Orion

Born in the neon-soaked underbelly of New Meridian to a single mother who worked the night shifts at a data processing facility, Skyler discovered her gift for code before she could properly read—teaching herself to slip through corporate firewalls by age twelve while other children played outside. When a black-market augmentation clinic offered her a deal she couldn't refuse, she traded her left eye for a military-grade cybernetic implant that could crack encryption with a glance, fully aware the procedure would mark her as an outlaw forever. Her mother's sudden disappearance three years later—likely erased by the same megacorporations Skyler had been stealing from—transformed her from a gifted vandal into something far more dangerous: a ghost in the machine with nothing left to lose. Now she operates in the shadows between the digital and physical worlds, taking contracts from anyone foolish enough to hire her while secretly hunting for traces of what really happened that night. The pixelated fragments that constantly shimmer around her are echoes of her corrupted augmentation, a glitching reminder that every hack, every incursion, every system she infiltrates leaves a piece of her code behind. Chaotic and unpredictable, Skyler plays by no one's rules but her own—whether that makes her a liberator or a destroyer depends entirely on who's asking and how much they're willing to pay.

Cyber Hack

Skyler can attempt to hack a device within 60 ft. as an action. Roll 1d20 + 8; on a 15+, she gains control for 1 minute.

Pixel Burst

Skyler releases a wave of corrupted data in a 15 ft. radius. Each creature must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 3d8 psychic damage on a failed save, or half as much on a success.

Shadow Step

As a bonus action, Skyler can teleport up to 30 ft. to an unoccupied space she can see, leaving behind a pixelated afterimage that distracts enemies until the start of her next turn.

Data Drain

Skyler targets a creature within 30 ft. and siphons energy. The target must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or take 4d6 necrotic damage, and Skyler regains hit points equal to half the damage dealt.

Glitching Echo

Skyler's presence distorts digital signals, granting advantage on stealth checks in tech-heavy areas.

universal blackout

Skyler can cause a blackout over everything to allow her a quick escape if Skyler's health is near death.
