IC Information
NAME: Radical Edward (will be known offline as Edward Tivrusky) FANDOM: Cowboy Bebop AU: In the years since the events of the anime Edward has still been unable to locate any links to her past and ends up going into bounty hunting as well once she finally finished her schooling. But even now she is usually behind the scenes as a hacker, still going under her alias of Radical Edward (easily making people think its a man behind the laptop). Over the last few years she has been a huge part of teams that have brought down drug king pins and crime lords, even she was one of several who was finally able to bring down the Red Dragons once and for all (partly out of a need to get revenge for Spike).
Over the last few years she has also been trying to locate her old friends from the Bebop since to be honest they were pretty much all she had for family. She has gotten close to finding Faye and Jet but no word on Spike minus a few rumors along her travels.
She lands in the city during a freelance hacking job on Mars (along with tracking a rumor about Spike maybe being on the planet) and well cue one very confused little computer geek.
AU DEVIATION POINT: End of the anime LINK TO CANON INFORMATION: http://cowboybebop.wikia.com/wiki/Edward
INVENTORY: laptop computer (nicknamed Tomato), VR goggles, about 3800 woolongs (her time's money), scooter, computer parts, various small tools, computer manuals, pendant in the shape of a ship (looks like the Bebop), 3 days woth of clothes (jeans, tees, boots), gear belt, 4 fake ids, her time's version of a cell phone and charger
ASSETS: Expert hacker (and very hard to beat by her time's standards), mega upbeat (her smile has a way of lighting up a room), unreal background into electronics and is a bit of a miss fix it, very book smart, has picked up how to use weapons and self defense via working with bounty hunters, mega flexible. LIABILITIES: Her quirks, being a woman in a male field (hacking), her age can be used against her, the fact she's from the future and has to deal with backwards (to her at least) tech, not being seen for having a brain in spite of having grown into a pretty young woman, prone to speaking the language of computers aka not sounding English to those outside the field, possible ADHD (suspected within the Cowboy Bebop fandom but never confirmed).

Name: Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tivrusky * IV (real name unknown) aka Radical Edward Age: Aged up to 18 Fandom: Cowboy Bebop Point In Fandom Taken From: post anime by several years Job/Title in Fandom: Was your character a Photographer? Dancer? Vampire? Witch? We‘ll need this for the character‘s page. Freelance white hat hacker, computer tech, college student Alignment: Good Brief History: Edward was only a child of 12 or 13 when she left a post Gate accident Earth after tracking the Bebop for what seemed like quite some time (along with her jumping ship from the childrens home after being basically forgotten by her father). It took one creative moment but she smiled and charmed her way onto the ship and became the team's hacker going under her call name of Radical Edward (it also never hurts that her rep as a hacker followed her for the ride). Over the course of her time on the ship she befriended Ein the data dog (and became the dog's partner in crime), played E-Chess for over a week against Chess Master Hex and basically lent a hand in her own unique fashion. She even had her moment in the sun since she went after a bounty on her own during the events of Mushroom Samba (after she found mushrooms in her sweetly odd way of helping and it leads to a mass acid trip among the rest of the team). Turns out she did catch the bounty but trades the cash for mushrooms. In hindsight, not the best of ideas.
After leaving the Bebop on a quest for info about her father and her past all Ed found was more questions and too few answers. So she went back into the cyber world, the one place that always made sense. But over the next few years she worked as a freelance hacker for other teams of hunters and even took a few solo cases once she turned 17. Mostly working around Mars and other nearby planets Ed was never short of work but something was missing: the little family she made on the Bebop. So while working a case on Mars she got to digging but in the process something went very wrong, she took a wrong turn on her scooter and she landed in a Dark space gate@. Fast forward to a shaken young woman who is now 18 (at the time of the chase) and somehow in 2010 Tokyo (even now Ed has no idea what happened but is pretty sure its none of her usual tricks and she's seen her share of net based moves using the gates).
Ed found herself in the restroom of a sushi resturant and when she heard the Japanese language even she was confused,"Ed knows that is not a normal language!". But with nothing from her actual time as a guide along with finding a newstand nearby she realized something, she had to blend in and fast! So she found a cybercafe and via her skills as a hacker invited an entire history for herself: in the process becoming the American graduate student Edward Tivrusky. But she had to find a means to support herself so she easily hopped back into the world of cyberspace and becoming a freelance hacker along with a day job as a computer tech. At least for now Edward aka Radical Edward is doing what she does best: bringing down criminals via the internet.
Her other goal is simple: finding the 3 people that actually care for her. Spike Spiegel, Jet Black and Faye Valentine.
List of Abilities/Powers: Unbeatable hacker (almost totally self taught) along with major background into computers and other forms of tech. She has also cooked up her own faked cover story after landing in Japan and has done more of the same. She's also picked up a knack for accents and voices due to her travels. Ed may not be much of a fighter in the physical sense but she can defend herself in a fight if she was pushed (and does know her way around weapons but is not a fan of them).
