Living Host:You must have Transcendent Network in order to take this echo. By spending some time in deep concentration, gathering and forming what might only be described as Resonance power, you can transform your living persona into an equivalent of a host. This requires an extended Tasking + Resonance test with a threshold equal to your Resonance attribute and an interval of one hour. Once complete, you become a living host within the Matrix. Only a technomancer, sprite, Resonance or Dissonance entity that scores one or more net hits on a Matrix Perception test will realize that you are not a true Matrix host. While this echo is active, you have a host rating equal to your Resonance attribute, and your Matrix attributes are the same as your living persona. The number of devices that can be connected to you increases to your host rating x 10, and you gain all the benefits of your Transcendent Network echo. You are able to generate an effectively unlimited number of virtual spaces, though they all must be connected to each other in some way. Personas can access you just as they would a host, with your permission or by hacking in. You can store an effectively unlimited amount of data, but files uploaded to your living host are only accessible while you have this echo active. You can change the appearance and architecture of your Living Host at will, even to mimic the appearance of any host you have visited. While this echo is active, you cannot be targeted by Matrix actions, complex forms, or sprite powers, except as a host. This means you are invulnerable to a wide variety of actions that can normally target a persona, such as Data Spike or Resonance Spike. You must maintain a state of deep concentration and remain in one physical place while sustaining this echo. If you suffer more boxes of Stun or Physical damage than your Willpower attribute from a single attack, or if you are physically moved from your location by more than one meter, your concentration is disrupted and your Living Host violently collapses. You take 6 boxes of Physical biofeedback damage and suffer dumpshock. All devices are disconnected, and anyone visiting the host in VR suffers dumpshock. If you wish to shut down your Living Host without suffering dumpshock, you must make an extended Tasking + Resonance test with a threshold equal to your host rating and an interval of a Major Action to do so. A critical glitch on this test causes dumpshock. You are not capable of running IC, but cheer up — you’ve got sprites! Because you are not a true host, you do not actually have a Foundation of your own. No one quite knows what would happen if someone found a door to the Foundation through a living host. Some believe that it might lead to a Resonance realm, but if anyone has tried to find out, they either failed or aren’t talking about it.
