Description:
John Frost looks like any teenage punk you might see on the streets of Seattle these days. Appearing to be a kid no
older than 13, he has chipped eyes that aren't really noticeable, and a data jack where his Control Rig comes from. He favors revolvers for their weight and showmanship. Nothing feels quite as badass as throwing open a revolver, or spinning the chambers for a bit of russian roulette with some schmuck's fate. He tends to keep to his toys though, working as a part time mechanic, and playing a few matrix games. He is heavily in favor of MCT products, and gets all of his rigging gear from them. He pays the rest of his bills through running smuggling jobs or getaway driver for whatever runs come his way. He has trouble sleeping sometimes, but figures it might be a side effect of whatever stunted his growth.

John Frost was born on a certain day to uncertain parents who perished before he turned 3. He was raised and home schooled in an orphanage in Seattle, by a surprisingly kind orphanage matron. He studied mechanics on his own while at the orphanage and eventually was able to make it into a Technical College to become a Mechanic. He got by with mediocre marks and managed to get a part time job as a mechanic. However, John was a creature with a need to rise from his roots and live one of the higher lives. And his part time job was not going to give him enough. He kept his ears open and eventually met Zack Wiggins.
Zack came into the Muffler's-N-Motors one day checking in on the new blood. Something of John's confidence or some other cosmic unknown drew Zack to John. Zack approached the young man as he was working on Zack's Suzuki Mirage and asked him if he was interested in making some spare cash. John was more than interested and asked what he'd have to do, having reserves against killing anyone (those would fade with time, though he still dislikes the idea of killing). Zack assured him that it was nothing combat based, just hold onto some things for a while. After a few months and some more jobs with Zack, John was able to save up enough to buy himself a respectable Control Rig (using a doc suggested by Zack). He took up playing Getaway Driver for some of Zack's other clients and runs for a while, using this time to learn various safe houses and smuggling locations within the city. With his new control rig he also took up matrix gaming and learned about the wonders of a MOBA based on the Drones sold by various companies. He eventually picked up his first drone, a MCT Roto Drone and fell in love with the modularity of it. for his 21st birthday, Zack got him a MCT Fly Spy so he could have a better idea of what the situation was when performing getaway driving without having to ask "what's going on now?" every 5 minutes, or burning the decker's time updating his video feed.
He currently lives in Renton near the boarder to Ashburn. The Mufflers-N-Motors that he part times for is just in Ashburn near where 18 and 516 intersect.
