Erik Egan created Fuzz for his post-Prime Time (2073 AD, City State of New York) story in the Crusade Battle Anthology called "40,000 Channels and Nothing On." He described Fuzz as looking like Grace Jones, complete with buzz-cut hair and totally ripped body. Fuzz is the future, online equivalent of a police officer and she has access to any part of the system in a number of different ways. She is also the leader of the Watchdogs, an online group of Terrapyres that fight Celestials who had found a loop hole in the normal anti-technology, biomagnetic restrictions.
Fuzz's brother is Berkeley "Whiz" Koko, also a carded character and Watchdog. Fuzz handpicks "Buck" and "Beat," two other Terrapyres to round out her Watchdog group with a fifth and sixth member who work in deep cover.
This is an early rough draft of part of Erik's story:
When Buck was eight and first jacked in, he would wonder what everyone looked like in RL. Now he just stood and enjoyed the rich pixels and light as much as (okay, more than) any grrl he saw in flesh-and-bone on Main Ring. And he couldn't remember enjoying anyone's pixels more than right now. Her avatar was over six feet tall in ratio, all chocolate-colored skin and Grace Jones hair. Long muscles were whipcord taut and perfectly defined. Black leather pants, loose, vest and boots. All piped with red neon cybernetics. She was recording everything in the chaos of the club that churned around them. She was information incarnate. Digital Age Amazon warrior. Buck was transfixed, turned on... and totally terrified.
Buck cleared his throat. *Domo, Han Fuzz.*
Fuzz turned (oh wow... liquid smooth, killer bandwidth). *Konbanwa, Han Buck.*
Buck's eyes widened. Clamped over Fuzz's right bicep was a metallic armband that glistened iridescent like an animated oil slick. Fuzz had been Authenticated. Her avatar was her real body digitized. Buck had no words. He thumbed down his biological response.
Fuzz grinned, slow, mostly in her eyes. *Ready for something new?*
