[Boss]

Name: Daniel Jackson Schneider
Age: 26
Hair: Dirty blonde
Eyes: Gray-blue
History:

The son of a nationalized Rheinland father and a native Libertonian mother, Daniel Schneider never was a golden boy. He developed an intense hatred of people he perceived as "stupid" very young, no doubt because others who may have tormented him based on his heritage. In preschool, Daniel beat a fellow student so badly that paramedics were summoned. The reason: the child asked Daniel where the restroom was. He was moved from Los Angeles 74th District Primary School to the 62nd after an investigation determined he was behind the firebombing of the gym, leading to smoke inhalation and hospitalization of fifteen athletics students.

Daniel floated along academically in high school, bored with the repetitive lessons and lack of information his high intelligence needed. He was asked to leave after releasing a virus in the computer lab that erased all of the online student records and financial data. That was the last time the teenage Schneider set foot inside a formal classroom, afterwards preferring self-study. In this fashion, he gained the equivalent of a Master's Degree in demolitions, cyber-security, and political theory in a little under three years.

At sixteen years old, he took a job working at a fast-food restaurant, which lasted about fifteen minutes before he tried to dunk his supervisor's head in the deep-fryer. Daniel served four months in juvenile hall for assault, his first prison stint. On his seventeenth birthday, he realized he needed to appear older than he did: Nobody took him seriously, which placed both them and himself in considerable physical jeopardy. He spent several weeks editing his electronic records, and crafted several fake ID cards for himself. Using one of these cards, he got his next job as a bouncer at a local bar.

During the seven months of this job, he smuggled approximately fifteen cases of various alcohols out of the establishment, as well as embezzling upwards of two thousand credits, none of which were ever formally charged. After walking off the job, he went about seven blocks on foot before performing a carjacking and relocating about three hundred miles, during which he committed nearly thirty-seven different moving violations; a low number surprising given his lack of driver's education. At least one of these was done in front of a traffic monitor.

Once in the city of El Sereno, he applied for a job at, and was accepted by, a somewhat shady casino on the edge of the red light district as a floor guard. This one lasted a year and a half before he was ejected for conspiring against the establishment to net millions. This never went on his formal record, since the casino was unregistered and unlicensed. He wandered to New Sacramento over the next few months, hitchhiking the first third before carjacking again. Daniel got as far as the outskirts of town before being pulled over, a quick search of the vehicle and police records revealed that this was not the first time this had occurred, as well as a number of other violations, misdemeanors, and three felonies.

Schneider was incarcerated on Riverside Station for all of five hours before being transferred to LPI Huntsville, but not before inciting seventeen fights, eleven riots, and two escape attempts. He served the remainder of his five-year prison term on Huntsville. Upon his release, he immediately jumped parole and headed for the Independent Systems, landing in Cortez in 812AS. He was 22 years old when approached by Jacob Keller, at which point he not so much signed on as was defeated in a brawl, after which he joined the Children of Conviction. Over a period of three years, he worked his way up to third in command, displaying a tenacious and bloodthirsty drive that startled everyone he came into contact with.

Daniel Jackson Schneider is considered armed and extremely dangerous, and will do virtually anything if the price is right and the job does not conflict with the Children's code of dubious honor.

Schneider tossed his flight helmet on the bar and took a seat.

'Morning, Petrov.

Just go play the game and have fun dammit.

all in all the conclusion is that disco doesn't need antagonist factions, it doesn't need phantoms, it doesn't need nomads, it doesn't need coalition and it doesn't need many other things, no AIs, the game is hijacked by morons to confuse the game with their dickwaving generic competition games mixed up with troll-of-the-day.
