Cyberpunk RED

1990s 
At just four years old, Rache Bartmoss started netrunning for the first time. Because of his inexperience with the Net, he used his real identity, oblivious to the potential risks. By the time he had realized his mistake, he was good enough that it no longer mattered. Throughout the years, he experimented with everything and tried every interface that Spider Murphy had heard of.

2000s 
For some time, Bartmoss tried working for companies, writing software for them, though he would always end up double-crossing them and running away before getting caught. He would then clean his record and move to other companies. In 2004, however, he worked for CCI Development for a year, since they did not deal with any wrongdoings.

During this time, he created the Demon programs for them. He was later fired for dropping a political movie into the database’s code. Within a week, he fried their computer system and the company went bankrupt. Bartmoss later sold the source code to the Demon programs to several software houses and made enough money that he did not need to work anymore.

At the age of seventeen, he met Spider Murphy for the first time when she came to warn him about her Corporate father wiping his SIN from the system. He trained her from that moment on and they became close friends. Rache Bartmoss, along with Spider Murphy, Dog, and Edger, would run the Net for fun, lynch NetWatch hacks without profit, because they could and it was the right thing to do, and do things others thought impossible.

Shortly after the Pacifica region of the Net was formed, Rache Bartmoss would run the region with Alt Cunningham, who later called these times her best netrunning memories.

2010s 
By the early 2010s, Bartmoss moved into a conapt building in South Night City (on the edge of the Combat Zone) where he arranged for everyone who did not have a neural implant to leave the building, and instead arranged to have corporate workers with neural processors installed move into the building, whereupon he installed within them a hidden subconscious personality program to control them. He would use everyone in the building for surveillance and protection. After working on this secret project for a decade, it finally became operational in 2019.

In September 2014, when the Ihara-Grubb Transformation Algorithms were released to reform the Net in order to provide a uniformed interface look and feel, Bartmoss stayed in to plant the R.A.B.I.D.S. viruses into the newly reformed Net, while the rest unplugged to watch it redesign himself. During this time his heart stopped for 10 seconds.

In 2015, Rache Bartmoss met Kimi Tara on the Net and took her out on a date. They slept together, which Bartmoss ended up regretting. She left him after with the intention of moving to the next media personality. Bartmoss denounced physical relationships after his encounter with Kimi.

2020s 
In 2020, his heart stopped and physical body died for unknown reasons, though his life-support machines sensed it and super-cooled his body. Because he was connected to the Net at the time, he continued to live in there. After his physical death, he tried to contact Spider Murphy for ten months, sending her an email to inform her of his death, and told her his life memories so that they could finish compiling Rache Barmoss’ Guide to the Net. Around this time, Bartmoss released the “Succubus III” program, and made it look like Spider Murphy’s Net ICON as a last “big brother” prank, so that she would be the lust object to “hormonally challenged losers” on the Net. He intentionally waited until he was dead so that Spider would not be able to take revenge.

In 2021, Militech contacted Bartmoss for his help against Arasaka in the Fourth Corporate War. Being convinced by Alt Cunningham’s digital ghost, he attacked Arasaka from the Net and located the master program of Soulkiller.

Bartmoss died in 2022 after getting his signal tracked, which resulted in a corporate raid on his conapt building. Right before his death, Bartmoss contacted Spider Murphy and urgently invited her to a chat room, where he confessed his love to her before releasing the R.A.B.I.D.S. to the Net and causing the DataKrash
