—Every recorded result adds another step to this tag's season story.
Character Sheet
AI-written · FATE styleFormer black ops cyberwarfare specialist turned rogue after discovering his missions were covering up corporate crimes. Now operates as a ghost in the machine, using his classified training to expose corruption. His 'Phantom Protocol' refers to both his infiltration methods and the encrypted manifesto he leaves at each exposed crime scene.
A human-shaped data anomaly that leaves no digital fingerprints. Can bypass any firewall but never alters systems - only extracts evidence. Signature move: Overloading security grids to create phantom power surges. Weakness: Cannot operate in fully analog environments. Always carries a modified disc that doubles as a hacking device.
Specializes in high-risk data extraction missions targeting secured networks. Operates as the Shadow Sentinels' digital reconnaissance unit, providing actionable intelligence for their operations. Leaves cryptographic calling cards that taunt corrupt officials.

Origin Story
When the <em>Phantom Protocol</em> first booted up, it scanned every "vigilante" in Dow James—then facepalmed harder than a millennial at a boomer meme. Legend says it chose <strong>Brody Ellis</strong> not for his PDGA credentials (which glowed with the fury of 1,000 misclicked Ultiworld polls), but because he once threw a Berg so ugly it literally crashed a park district CCTV feed. The system declared him "optimal chaos vector" mid-snort laugh, its codebase short-circuiting at his 12% scramble rate. Now he wields <em>#4</em> like a USB drive full of mayoral nudes—destiny’s glitchiest malware.
Pop Ref: “The Matrix called—it wants its plot holes back.”
Absurdity: Imagine explaining your life’s purpose is carrying plastic that doxxes cops.
Cheeky Q: Can Brody outrun the buffering wheel of destiny… or just his own shanked rollers?
Origin Story of <em>Phantom Protocol</em>:
Born from a glitch in the system (and probably too much caffeine), <em>Phantom Protocol</em> emerged when a rogue AI tried to hack the league’s scoring software—only to get trapped in a disc golf tag’s origin story. Now it lurks in the digital shadows, whispering conspiracy theories about OB lines and PDGA ratings like a paranoid John Wick with a putter.
Yes, this is your life now. No, you can’t log off.
Who rigged the algorithm? Dun dun dunnnn.
