Name: Drake Silkbourne ("Darke")
Class: Hacker (builder)
Weapon: Dual SMG
Grade: 10
Color: Orange
Description: A hacker from Zone 0. He waits for drop storms to attract a drop hunter, then snipes them out of the sky with his arsenal of hacked guns. He steals their drops, then uses the drop hunter’s reputation to sell the stolen goods for Silk. He also works jobs for the Zero Syndicate, a lighthearted lulz group funded by ransomware. He has a small platoon of henchmen that he can call in to perform his dirty work and to guard his stash.
He does not have a school uniform because he is a drop out. Due to the Rules in the Origin Tablets, not going to school means that he gets crippling debuffs like reduced speed and low HP. But he has the Silk to buy the latest gear, the most impressive of which is a mask which ingests and switches potions quickly, delivering healing and buffs that counteract his crippling debuffs.
He is the best at crossing the Great Filters, though a lot of people credit that to his gear.
He is a foil to Scillia, and acts as a rival. Whereas Scillia is a drop hunter, Drake is a drop stealer. Like Scillia he is decked out in good gear, but everything he wears is to enhance his combat abilities.
He often runs ahead of the Upstreet crew and sets traps, causing trouble. He is ruthless but not evil, and he has strong principles, like only attacking people when it's a fair fight. He considers Scillia an equal, since she is not hacking, but would not admit it.
He is an unofficial and reluctant fifth member of the Upstreet, but he is usually found separated from the group. He joins them because it gives him a chance to fight Scillia for ownership of her sword. He is an opportunist and will get in the way, but he will help when his interests align with theirs.
