Name:Clu 1.0 Department:Independent, but works with Security on a fairly regular basis. Work environment:Whenever and wherever. A large part of it is working from home, keeping track of various data strings and comm channels and planning new simulations to test security rookies. He also spends part of his time at the arena, putting said simulations into effect, and part of it out and about, mapping the system and digging up new data. He's also quite willing to put his skills to use for other programs in their residence/business if need be. What my character can do for you: HACK ALL THE THINGS. Seriously, Clu is a hacker through and through, and that's where his skills lie. Luckily he puts them to good use. Need to make sure your property/files are secure? Clu will test that for you, then point out the weaknesses in your security and help you fix them. He also does this for System Security as a whole, cooking up training sims for the rookies and occasionally running unannounced 'hack attack' drills with them to keep them on their toes. He's also very good at digging up information that may be difficult to come by through strictly legal means if you need that done, though he doesn't advertise that for obvious reasons. He can also do repairs on inanimate code in a pinch, but that's not really his specialty and he generally only uses it for minor things that he runs across (like a flickering streetlight or something) so that it won't get worse and the actual repair programs won't have to be bothered. Are they hiring over there?: Clu isn't hiring anyone on a permanent basis, but if he needs your help with something, chances are he'll seek you out an try to hire you/drag you along. Any other cool details? Clu has a constantly-running auto-scan that literally scans everyone and everything he touches with his hands. Most programs can't detect it, unless he focuses on it, and it leaves less of an energy trace than a normal scan. Clu normally wears gloves to dull it/block it, though, since while it's super-useful while working for better code contact, the constant redundant input tends to give him a low-grade headache after awhile under normal conditions. Also, he's well aware that most programs wouldn't appreciate random scans, so... yeah.
