Faith is a female runner who communicates information by traveling over the city’s roofs while watching all other kinds of contact. Players take control of Faith. Her mother passed away during the November Riots, and her father abandoned her shortly afterward. Thus she spent her childhood growing up on the streets by herself. She was educated by a man named Mercury as a young child. Mercury was the one who discovered her breaking in and was amazed by her skills. Government agents are pursuing her, and she must find a way to protect her sister.
