=Character Information=

===Summary===

Professional, infiltration-capable Troll Physical Adept of the Hinduism tradition looking to better understand what happened to his Ashram

===Goals===

Uncover information relating to the involvement of megacorps in blood magic and the spread of HMMVV. Build connections with infiltrators through shadowrunning to both learn the necessary skills and gain the allies to do this effectively.

Connect to like-minded individuals in Seattle, particularly Awakened with similar values about using magic for the benefit of living things.

Punch evil spirits and other wicked beings of a magical nature very, very hard. General wickedness is okay too.

Find a master of the Hinduism tradition who can help him initiate further into understanding himself and the magical world. Remain true to his principles.

==Background==

Abandoned by his parents in Chandigarh due to his birth as a troll, "Ganesh" was adopted by and raised in a Shaivite Hindu Ashram hidden in the Hindu Kush mountains, just past the nuclear wastedland created by the 2030 Indo-Pak war. He was treated well there and received access to a reasonable education, though with perhaps less integration into the Matrix and modern conveniences than most have experienced in the current era. While there, he trained in both traditional combat skills and meditation and enjoyed comradery with the brothers.

As he grew older and the Ashram started to draw attention from larger powers, Ganesh started taking on jobs in the shadows of Delhi, Chandigarh and Lahore to gather the right favors to help it maintain its independence. However, things shifted dramatically for the worse when virtually the entire Ashram save himself were infected with HMMVV - when this was exposed to the public, the Indian Republic granted the ashram and its surrounding area to Aztechnology's extraterritorial jurisdiction to clean out the Infected and terraform away the lingering remnants of nuclear radiation. While he was allowed to leave during that purge as an uninfected of no great notability, Aztechnology took down his information, and he suspected more elaborate foul play involved - perhaps this was a scheme to seize the ancient idol within the inner sanctum, or perhaps those infected members of the Ashram who were "cleaned" are in fact working for Aztechnology today.

Without significant remaining ties in the Indian Republic - after all, his father had declined to ever register his birth due to the stigma of having a Troll son - his intuition was to go to a large community of foreign runners, put some distance between himself and what occurred, and begin to lay the groundwork for looking into what happened while remaining devout to the Ashram's principles, as possibly the last surviving member maintaing their original purity.

== Narrative Significant Qualities ==

===Positive===

''' The Spiritual Way:''' Ganesh is a Shaivite Hindu dedicated to the philosophy of Advaita Vedanta, where all beings are merely a temporary and illusory expression of the underlying reality of creation, and a liberation from the shackles of desire and worldly life is the ultimate goal. He identifies his mentor spirit as Shiva. Shiva is paradoxically both a primal force of destruction, yet also a patron of joy and nonviolence. The Shark mentor spirit both reflects Shiva's willingness to crush demons with his bare hands and feet, as well as his flaw in myth of flying into a rage and harming loved ones due to mistaken provocation.

'''Latent Dracomorphosis:''' Ganesh likely wasn't infected with HMMVV when the rest of his ashram was due to possessing dracomorph enzymes, but he isn't yet aware of this. It is possible that some members of his ashram, or perhaps even someone at Aztechnology, is aware he is a latent dracomorph.

===Negative===

'''Distinctive Style:''' Ganesh's mask, devotion, and frequent use of Hindu iconography, combined with him being unusually well-dressed and professional for a troll (at least compared to expectations) makes him very memorable. Some of his gear, depicted below, is intentionally modified to reflect his spiritual self-expression.

'''Spirit Bane (Blood Spirit):''' Ganesh's mentor spirit is traditionally depicted stamping on the head of demons, and he's not vulnerable to an infection that causes behavior resembling Blood Spirits. For one reason or another, he registers as anathema to them.

'''Creature of Comfort (Middle):''' Between particular dietary requirements, aesthetic preferences related to his spirituality, his massive size, and perhaps some trauma from previously experiencing deprivation after the ashram was destroyed, Ganesh is a bit of a paradox - while dedicated to self-denial, he would be very uncomfortable if forced to compromise on his lifestyle.

Custom traditional bow is designed based on an artistic interpretation of the Sharanga, the bow wielded by Sri Rama in the Hindu epic Ramanyana. It collapses to resemble a religious carving of the deity.

=== Clothing ===
Ganesh has a troll-sized Moritmer of London suit and greatcoat combo, blue on blue with red accents. He typically dresses formally using some form of head covering to conceal his horns - this isn't a Hindu religious requirement, but a personal preference to not public display his horns.
