Resonance
Baofu's Resonance seems to carry the faint smell of the sea, old wet ropes, and a hint of ozone. The sound and feel of a cold, damp wind stirring your hair, underlain by the creak of rigging. The feeling of waiting for something, and that there are eyes upon you, watching, always watching...

Niccolo Machiavelli
Profile
Kaoru Saga was once a promising Japanese public prosecutor, sending many criminals to jail with the assistance of his partner, Miki Asai. However, one day he dug too deeply, investigating the Taiwanese Mafia for connections to the top leaders of Japan. That investigation cost him both his partner and his position. Now he works to become an instrument of vengeance against those he knows are responsible for his partner's death, scorning the law that failed him in the past. These days, the world only knows of him by the name 'Baofu', the Chinese word for 'Revenge'. Using his skills at wiretapping and information-gathering, he works tirelessly through the Darkside of Sumaru, an underground rumor website and information network, to bring down the head of the New World Order, Tatsuzou Sudou. His experiences have left him bitter and cynical, which can be rough on those who might want to deal with him, but his talents cannot be denied.
Skills
Tap Buster, Driven, Drinking, Smoking, Swearing, Necessary Brutality, Contributing To The Delinquency Of Minors, Ignoring Inconvenient Laws, What is This 'Nice' of Which You Speak, Extortion, I See What You Did There, Busting Out Recordings Of Anything And Everything At Any Time, Coin Toss Of The Apocalypse, Face Heel Turn, In A Dead Woman's Memory, I Heard That, Behaving Badly, Vengeance
What is Known
The name "Baofu" is half urban legend, half bogeyman. Few know his face, or if he's even a man, their only interactions being through the medium of the internet or coming across a rumor that supposedly originated from him... Those among the ranks of Darkside have a somewhat closer relationship with him, with quite a few having met him in person once or twice. (If you've seen Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, think of the Laughing Man.)

Baofu also has a public persona (under the name of Hiroshi Satou) that runs a perfectly legitimate business as a security consultant and bug-hunter, which is where the nickname of Tap Buster originates from. The fact that he uses this business as a cover for installing his own bugs and backdoors is carefully hidden from everyone involved.

Social Links
0 - THE FOOL
Minako Arisato: That girl needs a minder. Do they honestly let kids outside at that age these days?
I - THE MAGICIAN
II - THE HIGH PRIESTESS
Maki Sonomura: Baofu is both intrigued and worried by the possibilities that Maki et al represent. However, they seem to have reached majority in his favor for now. Or something close to it.
Masumi Hayashi: He needs to decide where he's going. You cannot stand at the crossroads and see where every road ends, you have to choose a direction eventually.
Yukiko Amagi: Delicate and nervous, easily nudged without having to apply undue force.
III - THE EMPRESS
IV - THE EMPEROR
Tatsuzou Sudou (Reversed): VENGEANCE
V - THE HIEROPHANT
VI - THE LOVERS
VII - THE CHARIOT
Chie Satonaka: Fierce and itchy. Wave the red cloth and let her charge off, fine control is likely impossible.
VIII - JUSTICE
Arisa Shiratori: Perceptive girl. Nervous. Wonder how much of one is caused by the other. Polite.
Katsuya Suou: So idealistic, so full of fire. So amusing to poke. He could be useful.
IX - THE HERMIT
X - THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE
Chizuru Ishigami: Infuriating woman, but much easier to deal with if you can get her off balance.
Naoto Shirogane: So very prim and proper. It makes Baofu want to kick over a chair or spill something just out of reflex.
XI - STRENGTH
Enoha Koinose: Interesting. Remarkably stable and quiet for someone of that age with the power. Worth looking into later.
XII - THE HANGED MAN
XIII - DEATH
XIV- TEMPERANCE
Miwa Saitou: Twitchy, but in a useful position. A bright light in the shadows, should have some interesting interactions with the more perceptive sorts, remember this. Been watching her for a while, interesting hobbies.
XV - THE DEVIL
XVI - THE TOWER
Himeru Namikawa: A skeptic, but seems a little uninformed about the way parts of the world work. Or maybe just a narrow view. Interesting.
Takahisa Kandori (Reversed): Known primarily in how he fits into the NWO's power structure. Just as much of a bastard as Sudou, but not as direct a target.
Thora Kobayashi: Her stake in this may be as personal as Baofu's own, if not moreso. Good. She won't stray.
XVII - THE STAR
Kasumi Horie: One way or the other, she's taken the first step along the path. Let's see if the wolves in the underbrush eat her.
XVIII - THE MOON
XIX - THE SUN
Shion Katsuragi: Quiet, thoughtful, didn't seem the sort to let her emotions lead her around. Good for her, but tricky to manipulate for that. Keep an eye on her.
XX - JUDGMENT
Kanon Itoh: Helpful, easy to get errands out of because of her attachment to her shop.
