Wildcard:Character creation
From Wildcard
Basics: 1: basic plot | 2: changes | 3: character creation
In effect, for your character, this means that almost without a doubt, your character is human, but equally almost without a doubt has internet access and something called a 'default avatar' - their online representation. You'll want to describe both.
Exceptions are characters without internet (you'd just give them an offline appearance), or sentient programs called Puppets (which obviously would have neither a means to connect to the internet, where they live, nor an offline identity).
(If you want some further guidelines, we have a writ about the atmosphere we try to maintain.)
