'''Tad Thorean''' (''b. 06-04-27YR'') is a resident of [[Caprica City]], and a [[holoband]]-gamer under the alias of "[[wikipedia:Heracles|Heracles]]." His student ID number is 9153 015 005.

In [[Virtual world|v-world]], he worked for [[Vesta]] in ''[[New Cap City]]'' until he was approached by a [[Tamara-A|girl]] who claimed she could not wake herself up from the game. He took the girl to Vesta, who offered her a deal: if Tamara helped Vesta in ''New Cap City'', Vesta would help find a way to wake up Tamara in the real world.

Heracles then traveled to the game with Tamara in order to "steal" the avatar of another high-ranking gamer named [[Chiron]]. Heracles and Tamara found Chiron at a speakeasy, where Tamara distracted him and his guards by posing as a jilted girlfriend while Heracles took a digital copy of Chiron's avatar. Tamara was shot in the altercation, but Heracles extracted her from the club, and demonstrated his new ability to shift between his own avatar and Chiron's. The two later visited a bank where Chiron kept a vault, and after dismissing the guards, Heracles instructed Tamara to enter a code which Vesta had discovered inscribed on manhole covers around the city.

Heracles proceeded to collect as much of Chiron's money as possible before the bank alarm sounded and two guards rushed into the vault. He was pushed to the ground by Tamara as the guards opened fire and Tamara was hit with several rounds before summoning her own will to alter the code of the game, forcibly derezzing the guards before collapsing.

After the robbery, Heracles learned the Vesta could not return Tamara to the real world, and rather intended to continue using her as a pawn in the game. Tamara used Heracles' weapons to kill everyone in the room except Vesta, then instructed Heracles to return to the real world and tell [[Joseph Adama]] that she was trapped in v-world. Tad removed his holoband and traveled to 615 Olympic #3, where he found Adama in the midst of a wake for his daughter and [[Shannon Adama|wife]] and told him that Tamara was trapped in v-world. Joseph screamed that Tamara was dead, and Tad fled with Joseph in pursuit before escaping ([[There Is Another Sky]]).

Tad was later tracked down by [[Evelyn]] at Joseph's request ([[Know Thy Enemy]]).

==Notes==
Tad shares his v-world name of Heracles with the [[wikipedia:Heracles|son of Zeus and Alcmene]] in Greek mythology.

New Cap City

2010-03-05T21:41:08Z

Tonyfuchs1019: /* Notes */

'''''New Cap City''''' is a [[Virtual world|v-world]] game in which [[holoband]]-users participate in various illicit activities.

[[Baxter Sarno]] has charged the game with contributing to the moral decline of [[Caprica City]] that led, in part, to the bombing of [[Lev|Maglev No. 23]] ([[Gravedancing]]).

New Cap City is a virtual recreation of Caprica City, but darker and with a violent mob atmosphere. The simulation is updated to reflect current events, such as the Maglev 23 bombing. The objective of the game, if it has one, is currently unknown. Some players believe that the goal is to acquire items – like money and weapons – that can be converted into points. Other believe that discovering the objective of the game is, in fact, the objective of the game. Players who are "killed" in the game subsequently wake up in reality, and are unable to reload their avatars into ''New Cap City''.

After the death of [[Tamara Adama]] aboard [[Lev|Maglev No. 23]], [[Daniel Graystone]] used software developed by his own deceased [[Zoe Graystone|daughter]] to create an [[Holographic avatar|avatar]] of Adama at the request of her [[Joseph Adama|father]]. [[Tamara-A|That avatar]] was later found in an unprogrammed space by [[Lacy Rand]] and Zoe Graystone's [[Zoe-A|avatar]], who helped Tamara escape into the larger virtual world where she sought out the gamer [[Vesta]] in order to wake up. Discovering Tamara's unique ability to recover from game-inflicted damage, Vesta offered Tamara a trade: if Tamara-A helped Vesta in ''New Cap City'', Vesta would help find a way to wake up Tamara in the real world.

Tamara traveled to the game along with another of Vesta's underlings, [[Tad|Heracles]], in order to "steal" the avatar of another high-ranking gamer named [[Chiron]]. Tamara and Heracles find Chiron at a speakeasy, where Tamara distracts him and his guards by posing as a jilted girlfriend while Heracles took a digital copy of Chiron's avatar. Tamara was shot in the altercation, but Heracles extracted her from the club, and demonstrated his new ability to shift between his own avatar and Chiron's. The two later visited a bank where Chiron kept a vault, and after dismissing the guards, Tamara entered a code which Vesta had discovered inscribed on manhole covers around the city.

Heracles proceeded to collect as much of Chiron's money as possible before the bank alarm sounded and two guards rushed into the vault. Tamara pushed Heracles to the ground as the guards opened fire and was hit with several rounds before summoning her own will to alter the code of the game, forcibly derezzing the guards before collapsing.

After the robbery, Tamara learned from Vesta that she had died in the Maglev bombing and could not be woken up into the real world. Discovering that Vesta intended to continue using her as a pawn in the game, Tamara used Heracles' weapons to kill everyone in the room except Vesta, then instructed Heracles to return to the real world and tell [[Joseph Adama]] that she was trapped in v-world. After Heracles removed his holoband, Tamara told Vesta that she was "awake" and shot her, ejecting Vesta from the game ([[There Is Another Sky]]).

==Notes==
* The concept of the game has been compared to the real-world video game ''[[wikipedia:Grand Theft Auto (series)|Grand Theft Auto]]'', while its title resembles that of the 1991 crime film ''[[wikipedia:New Jack City|New Jack City]]''.
