Eclipsearama - Mercury

Design Notes: Adapting Mercury was tricky. The reason I went with him as a Swarmoid AGI was, well, a gag about how good at Limbo he is. Additionally, there's not much backstory to the original character, so I didn't have a lot of hooks for the Eclipse Phase version of it. I also wanted to make him a field operative, but still remain a stay-at-home kind of guy. I suspect Mercury mostly lives in the Pandora Express servers, and the field version is an alpha fork installed in the swarmoid.

History: Mercury was created by the Solaris Group as a smart accounting program. After spending a few cycles at one of the major banks in New Shanghai, he was leased to Professor Falkenstein. Falkenstein recognized his skills were not limited to simple accounting and purchased a Swarmoid morph so he could assist the field team as their technical advisor. In addition to being an accountant and occasional field crew, Mercury is married to another AGI, LBBR-A, and they have created a joint fork, Dwight.

Role: Mercury is the team's technical expert. He's a very skilled hacker.
