Alejandro comes from a working-class, single parent home. Originally from Renton, his mom worked long hours and could still only afford to live in a rough neighborhood, leaving him lots of unsupervised free time to pal around with local hoodlums. Naturally bright, he was accepted into their circle because he could fix stuff and do simple hacks; in return, they offered him a clique for protection and taught him how to live on the streets.
While his neighborhood certainly wasn't the Puyallup Barrens or anything, it had its share of Big City dangers, mainly larger, more dangerous gangs carrying out the will of whichever yakuza oyabun was in charge. Not that Alejandro ever saw any of that, his highest-level interactions were with drug dealers on the corner and the occasional made man coming by weekly to collect his three points on the dealer's action. People got roughed up and sometimes shot, but for the most part you could get by if you kept your head down.
Entertainment was mainly trid shows about glamorized shadowrunners, skating and graffiti in the wee hours, and giving the food court mall cops at the Arcology a headache with pranks and petty shoplifting when his crew would take the monorail Downtown. The real interest though, was browsing deck forums, learning hacks and black market tech tricks.
In the past year, Alejandro's mom got a job in the SCIRE in the environmental services department. This gained them both a limited corporate SIN and Alejandro access to Renraku's university programs. It is here that deepColour got locked in the Arcology, separated from his friends back in Renton and his mom somewhere in the Arcology.
