Hanah Eto

Overview 

Hanah Eto is the NeuroBloc operative responsible for monitoring key Enagine researcher Mark Greyson. She was chosen for her excellent undercover abilities and expert hacking skills. While monitoring Mark Greyson she works to simultaneously poach information from Enagine’s secure network.

Skills 

In a virtual environment, Eto uses her skills as a hacker to cause mayhem, mischief, and outright destruction. With a computer at her side she is a force of fury. She is also adept at subterfuge – able to easily blend in with a crowd, and avoid attracting attention.

History 

Hanah Eto grew up in South Korea and spent most of her childhood in ‘PC bangs’ the Korean equivalent of internet gaming centers. In poorly lit rooms, surrounded by computer screens she honed her skills as computer guru and hacker. Living an alternative lifestyle, Eto gained a passion for rebelling. At the age of 18 she was arrested for hacking and crashing the network of one of Korea’s largest corporations. On trail and facing serious jail time, Hanah was contacted by NeuroBloc with a tempting offer – if she joined NeuroBloc’s fight against Enagine, NeuroBloc would help her escape police custody and flee South Korea to the United States. Hanah Eto has been working for NeuroBloc ever since. She identifies with their libertarian views and sees their underdog struggle against Enagine as a challenge.

After being assigned to monitor Mark Greyson, Eto forms a strong friendship with him. She has strong feelings towards him, but her desire to remain professional and objective prevents her from furthering their relationship. She feels responsible for Mark being trapped by Enagine and feels she should have protected him better after revealing the truth.

Backed by NeuroBloc, Hanah Eto is prepared to do whatever it takes to rescue Mark from Enagine’s clutches.

Although canonically female, if the player chooses to play Greyson as female she becomes Michael Eto. Either way Eto is portrayed as a slender Korean figure. Throughout the game his/her appearance changes to reflect the environment of the current level. For example, in the initial virtual work, Eto is wearing a school hoodie and carries a backpack and laptop. Whereas in the space level, Eto is dressed in dark military gear and has several cybernetic implants. The main theme to Eto’s appearance is that he or she looks like a technological guru. This is to help the player quickly makes an association between Eto and ‘hacker’.

This ambiguity should allow the player to interpret her actions as either hostile or friendly. In general Eto is argumentative, secretive, and difficult to work with at times. However she has a soft spot for Greyson, and depending on player actions can slowly grow more affectionate and protective of Greyson as the game progresses.
