Description

After going through all of the great character suggestions and plot ideas for Project: WORM, we came up with the following main character - yet unnamed - around which the series builds upon.

Here's the description:

""X", 44, is a tricky fellow, a game developer from the early times. In the past fortunate and overly rich, he has gone from one end to another, finding himself now poor and divorced. Once caught by the feds and sentenced to four years in prison for a serious Internet fraud, he’s now earning a living through various odd jobs.

"X" is still on parole, and he is prohibited from using the Internet for two years. Parole officials on his back, following his actions daily, he’s aching to use the Net. Sometimes the temptation is too much: he sneaks onto computers in libraries, cafés and wherever he gets a chance. "

Now, before going deeper into the character, we need a good name for him. I'm looking for something nice, strange and rememberable as "Dale Cooper", "Fox Mulder" or "Gregory House" - a US/UK name would be preferable.

Wreck till you drop!

Don't worry, it's OK, if you feel like it adds value, fine. Just thought that it's a bit much on every shot... We are not that formal here on WAM.

João Marco July 03, 2009 23:19 Flag

I like to shoot...

I don't know.... it's something visceral...

But if that is negative for the WaM I'll keep it to me...

:)

I like the idea of Star Wreck the game for obvious reasons;-) 1987 also might work from timing perspective for the script.

(btw, just curious, do you really need the I'm shooting in front of all your shots? you can find your own shots easily by clicking on MyWreck anyway, no need to search for I'm shooting in there. Just a thought)

Amalgamation of famous hackers... or just call him/her Kibo Renqvist?

Who were the most famous hackers and whiz kids of the past times... could we find some amalgamation of their names.

Some references to background material:
http://www.itsecurity.com/features/top-10-famous-hackers-042407/
http://computer.howstuffworks.com/hacker4.htm
http://www.famoushackers.com/
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/fifteen-greatest-hacking-exploits,1790-2.html

Well, those lists may be copies of the same original master list, but I hope you find some names that can be amalgamated.

HOWEVER, we should be careful to make the name generic and not sound too much like the real names of real persons, to avoid defaming any real persons character.

ON the other hand, why not just call this hacker Kibo (Knowledge In Bullshit Out) Renqvist?

Kibo Renqvist != James Parry ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Parry )
