character :: Emmett Graham
''With the technology I have today, I can learn more in one hour of research than all of my ancestors combined. I have limitless access to free premium materials, gathered in one place instead of cast out into the world with miles and fathoms in between. For you or anyone else to say this power isn't helpful or useful - it's pure ignorance.''
Emmett, a man at the top of his freshman class in university, is a trendsetter. He is a blend of the things he loves, unapologetically adorning his masculine body with soft pastels and preserved rose petals because he can. He's beautiful, he's intelligent, and the best part is: he is well on his way to his dream job of becoming a Feed Administrator. His parents who hold the same title are quite successful. The job isn't stressful, though meticulous, and the perks are incredible.
But there are complications for the 24 year old: after all, he is beginning school much later than his school-aged counterparts. Difficulties with his disorder have prevented him from enjoying his favorite pastime, the Feed, to it's fullest extent; being epileptic, Emmett didn't even get to body-hop during college hunting. As he struggled to manage his seizures as a boy, he got held back years in school. Everything piled up into a brilliant snowball effect for him; but, finally, here he was. At the top. Nothing could stop him now. He even has a petite little piece of arm candy with him.
That is...until the Feed began to face it's own difficulties. There's rumors that the Feed implants put into most of the population's brain are glitching out in strange new ways. Underground pockets of people who live off the grid might be using scare tactics to make people think...or, could it be real? A new wave of crime and terrorism have begun, and on a smaller scale, children are being subjected to material never once thought possible for that age group. Body Snatchers are hacking their way into the lives of others; but again, what's to be believed? For Emmett, so long as his Feed is up and working, he doesn't quite care what the technophobes think. If anything, they make for a good drag with his friends over the chat.
