character info
Aseneth Li is a well-paid 27 year old woman, working for a high end House, living in a leased, high-end synthetic sleeve which she pays a significant portion of her income for. Born on one of the moons in the Three-Moons colony, she sold her birth-sleeve and came to earth seeking to be an actress, and thought that respectable work with high-end clientele would be her ticket to fame and a better life.
Note: This is a summary of the 'Real' background of Aseneth. The full one is much longer, and can be seen on game with the +bg command. All information in this wiki is for the 'public' identity/body, and does not reflect the below.
Aseneth Li is an actual woman; and her public background is real. The current inhabitant of the stack bearing the identity 'Aseneth Li' however - is not Aseneth Li. The inhabitant of the stack was born 'Amets Tenzin' on an off-world colony. Amets Tenzin was a spy for the nebulously corporate government of his colony world for a number of years; seeing work in a number of different bodies for 'the cause' as he needlecast across the colonies. He ended up stranded in the body and identity of Aseneth Li for reasons he doesn't entirely understand, after being told that a relative of hers (who turned out not to exist) had ties to the Three-Moons colony - ties of some significant interest to other forces.
Left abandoned and stuck in her identity, he had no choice but to live her life - and to his surprise, found it actually remarkably easy to do so, though he still dislikes most aspects of it. Accordingly, virtually all of the public information on him is fake, but as he already had significant experience pretending to be other people, and has been in Aseneth's life for several years now, the difference is harder to discern every day.
Aseneth has suffered some vast setback in her life - which has filled her with bitterness and anger. She doesn't talk about it, but when she thinks others are not looking, her extremely pleasant but faked demeanor gives way to angry eyes and a bitter glare. Despite that, she's intelligent and adaptable, full of resolve and grit. She's friendly in a conversation, though also quick to try and turn a situation to her advantage if she can. When she acts demure, its entirely faked. She's no proper lady by any means; she just plays one for the customers. She's very eager to get out of debt; that much of her social media profile is true, at least - and not particularly picky about how she does it.
Other Notes: Aseneth has an interest in archaeology, particularly any studies relating to the various Martian ruins, and is a political junkie - though she's apparently very cynical of, and somewhat hostile to, the various colonial local governments, particularly the independence movements. She also enjoys playing games in Virtual. Usually, however - her hobbies are dictated by her current work assignment, and meant to fill a role.
Fake Background - Much of Aseneth's public background is faked - she hasn't always had her current identity. According to her social media profile in Virtual, (also accessible via her House Profile) - she's from Three-Moons, interested in becoming an actress, and hopes to someday take singing and dancing lessons. None of that is actually true; not that she'll admit it except under extreme duress. She's not entirely sure how she ended up in her current situation, and has been wary of revealing the truth lest she get into trouble.
House Courtesan - Aseneth works for one of the high-end, classy Earthbound Houses. She's available for hire; though she's marketed to wealthy clients and tends to cost a pretty-penny. She's available for short-term or long-term hire, for anything as little as conversation, cooking, or simple eye-candy for an important business-meetings - to much more.
Networking - Part of Aseneth's job is networking. A friendly face, a discrete conversation - and a pleasant smile can get you far. As such, she has plenty of causes to meet people from a variety of walks of life, depending on what she's been hired for lately, and how busy she is.
Synth Body - Aseneth resides in a high-end Synth body owned by her House. She leases it from them; it won't be hers until she pays off the debt. Until that time, most of the features of her body are customizable at the customer's (or House's) discretion. Its one of the selling points they've been marketing her under; she can look like anyone, she can act like anyone. They put a lot of effort into making sure they have adaptable, intelligent, but pliable personalities on offer for all of your discerning needs. Unfortunately, this means that, at the end of the day, the House is in control of her body. It is, after all, their property. And considering how long the payoff time is, she might as well be, too.
