Hacker

Hackers are highly capable- and potentially dangerous- individuals who use their technological knowledge to exploit computer systems to accomplish goals through non-standard means. In the digital world, their skills allow them easy access to otherwise difficult objectives, as they can use their skills to crack through firewalls, detect and dodge traps, and dismantle security programs with ease. Hackers exploit the "digital" aspect of the Digital World to its fullest. And while their skills may be useful for highly unscrupulous activities, some Hackers put themselves to work for good, finding exploits before more unsavory types can and laying traps of their own to stop them. In combat, Hackers are great at underhanded tactics and finding vulnerabilities that others could easily overlook, but being used to such strategies, they may find themselves easily outclassed in a straight-on fight.

Role: Hackers excel in acting from the shadows, using their cunning and skills to strike when least expected and slipping away without even being seen. They have highly versatile abilities, but do not perform as well in straightforward head to head combat. Hackers are also highly adept in thievery, unlocking doors and breaking security, and disarming or setting traps.
