Awesome!  You might want to give yourself a few reasonable items as well.  Additionally, feel free to create a player page and a character page on the Wikia.

Define a few reasonable items.

Re-did a piece of lore, added a vaporizer because I've never had a character who smokes.

Character:
Name: Elena Adler
Age: 25
Physical Description: Stands at 5'7, small build, slender. Light brown hair, shaved short on the sides and combed over on top. Heterochromatic, one eye is a silvery blue, the other is some mixture of hazel and brown. Pale skin, some freckles on her face. No exposed electronics or circuitry.

Pockets: Wallet, ID-Payment card, switchblade, E-Ciggy/Vaporizer
Satchel: Spare clothes, instant pull-string cup noodles, flask, vial of several grams of a powdered narcotic, a piece of cloth, one vial of vaporizer oil, labeled as Official Colonel Crush Cereal Flavor™
Weapons: Pistol (Satchel) Switchblade (Pocket)

Body Modification: General-Purpose Mind-Net Link, Add-On Medical Neurological Control Implant (w/ Illegal Joywire Modification) , Add-On Ear Augment, Add-On Eye Augment, card reader in her index fingers.

The General-Purpose Mind-Net Link allows for Elena to search the web wherever she goes, even while walking. She can use it to do basic hacks and preform computations, along with other illegal or white color crime activities. It comes with a VI, named Morgenstern, who is merely a personification of the operating system. Elena may ask Morgenstern to hack or run hack programs, preform computations, or send messages. As per God's orders, Morgenstern is not actually intelligent, it just appears so. Morgenstern's avatar appears as an androgynous human, and it's hologram is red in color. Elena can control it with her thoughts. The implant can also display things to Elena in a VR type fashion.

The Medical Neurological Implant and Joywire mod allows for Elena to control pain and hormones. Elena can use it to suppress pain or trigger adrenaline dumps, among other implications. The implant can assist in causing or resisting sleep. The Joywire mod is illegal, and allows Elena to "shock" herself into dopamine dumps, causing her to get high. All of this comes at the danger of over exertion or overdose, which can kill the inexperienced. Morgenstern interfaces with this to attempt to keep Elena alive.

Ear augment allows for an acute sense of hearing, along with a wider range and audio filtering.

Eye augment allows very good sight, along with FLIR infrared and ocular filtering.

The Card Reader-Interfacer is a small chip in each of Elena's index fingers that can read Payment-ID cards, or other cards.

The downside to every one of these implants is that any EM pulse, electrical shock that runs through the head, or strike to the head that causes anything greater than a low-grade concussion can easily would or kill Elena.

Short backstory: Elena is a coder and robotics engineer by trade. She first illegally got her Mind-Net Link to assist her in coding, however, she was shortly discharged from her job after she ran out of sick days while coping with complications from her surgery. Running out of money, she began to pose as a prostitute to steal from men or women, which involved drugging her clients, then making withdrawals from their Payment-ID cards with the readers in her fingers. The client would wake up believing in a series of false events, and otherwise not notice unless their own brain implants had recorded the events artificially.

She did this for the last two years, and bought a series of extra implants.

She expanded her operations to upper-level management clients in corporations, and even gang members, before a high level business executive black-box recorded her stealing money, and put a hefty price on her head. Both the Flies and the Redband have sects who know of the bounty. She suspects a few corporations may know as well.

Talko sniffs at the jerky, then grabs it and swallows with minimal chewing. Jalko watched Tippy hand Talko the jerky, and begins drooling.

"I almost forgot, we should feed them," Jaakko says.

Talko causiously approaches Tippy and sniffs at her hands.

"Do rocket science or some stuff. Space is still a fresh battleground to be conquered."

"The Merkies have a strong foothold up there. They have orbital strike capability as well, I'm sure you remember seeing it in the landing on the Deltan,"

Jaakko looks up to the sky.

"I don't know-" his voice trails off.

He runs he hand down his face, as if stressing about his future.

Jaakko glances at Tippy, awaiting a response. Jalko huffs for no ostensible reason.

Jaakko sighs heavily.

"I really have no plans for the end of the war. All I have so far is to not die,"

Skewing the word Huit into Hoot or something sounds a bit more slur-like, in the same way kike comes from the Hebrew word kikel.

Jaakko hadn't thought much about it.

"I don't know. I could try to get a job with my degree in the aerospace industry, but I'm sure that as soon as the war is over they won't be hiring, or they may. I- haven't thought much of it. I guess I've been more concerned with how the food sucks or if I can get the stuffty TV to work,"

"I don't know. Nothing else really fits me. Maybe find more war. I know that sounds terrible but i've been in one so long i don't think i'd know what to do with myself."

Jaakko's calm expression falters. He returns his gaze to the earth.

"You'd have to find something, surely,"

Jaakko seems uneased at the idea that the war has become Tippy's sole driving force in life.

Ohioan here. There were only ten grow sites that were set up by this law, allowing for only ten companies to produce mary jane. Leave it to ohio to set up a constitutionally protected weed oligopoly.

Tippy punches Jakko playfully in the shoulder

"They're dogs, dog food or not they eat stuff. They can be like goats sometimes. Just don't feed them anything obviously toxic. Maybe we can hunt for food off base."

"We owned North Aesthian Ovcharkas back home, but I never had to feed them bugs,"

Jaakko looks up at the sky.

"Hey, Tippy, what are you going to do when the war is over?"

Jaakko whistles to get the dogs' attention. Jalko gets up, and Talko roosters his head and seems to bite his lip.

"I figure they need to be washed, and fed, but I don't know what they eat,"


Talko updated.

Name: Talko
Nickname: Tal/Talc
Age: 2 - 3
Piloting Preference: BITCHES
Backstory: Found in the wire.
Description: Big, lanky, janky teddy bear. Believes he is a puppy. Talko is the size of an Irish wolfhound, with the proportions of a maned wolf, and the mane of a maned wolf. Colored like a Leonberger, except with black feet (a la maned wolf), has a black mask on his face. Eyes may appear to be an unnerving yellow from a distance. Deltan Bloodhound. His snout is long and his mouth unhinges like that of a thylacine's. Bred to crush necks and tear out throats. Has a tail, fast and maneuverable. Can jump high and bound. Not as rugged as Jalko. Big ears that move independently. Weighs about 150.

Also, I ran our projected casualty rate increase. Here they are.
