			As a vampire, Benjamin can't swim, but he enjoys doing it on the matrix. His persona reflects this, a cross between a great-white shark and a towering metahuman.

Summary

	===Summary===		===Summary===
	~~Ikari's shadowrunning activity is generally informed by their Shinto leanings~~, ~~which have led them~~ to ~~becoming a staunch environmentalist~~ and ~~Marxist anti-capitalist / corporatist~~. ~~Their egalitarian attitude extends~~ to ~~their kami~~, ~~who they loathe~~ to ~~bind~~. ~~Ikari's principles compel them to avoid paying rent, opposed~~ as ~~they are to the very concept~~, ~~but also~~ to ~~avoid producing emissions~~, ~~which they accomplish by riding a bicycle everywhere~~. ~~The side benefit of this is that Ikari doesn't have~~ to ~~bind~~ to ~~any particular area, which aside from being uncomfortable would probably depress them as they experienced directly the dilapidation of the sprawl~~.		Leviathan runs to keep himself in comfort, using his physical and magical gifts to neutralize threats and targets and get paid. Since he does not own most of the tools a vampire might use to keep themselves mostly functional during the day and he is otherwise quite durable, he generally prefers to engage in runs almost entirely after dark. While his embrace of dark magic and status as a vampire means he has few qualms about killing, he generally accepts that not all combat needs to be lethal, and is proficient in subduing combat. After all, you need to be alive to have your essence drained.

	~~Ikari~~, ~~self~~-~~titled for~~ the ~~rage~~ of ~~the natural~~ and ~~spiritual world, tends~~ to ~~conserve their hatred for those who directly consist the corporate superstructure~~, and ~~generally prefers not~~ to ~~use lethal force on those who they do not despise~~.		Leviathan, so-named in reference to the biblical sea monster, is nonetheless capable of subtlety, and well able to move around without being immediately noticed, although his stature and vulnerabilities to sunlight and wood make him much less effective at blending into a social situation.

Benjamin Moses was born and raised in Everett, overlooking the Sound. His parents were honest, god-fearing dock-workers who had little time for their kid, so the young Benjamin was a 'latchkey kid', absorbing 5th-world media handed down from his grandparents and from the the local pirates. Thanks to the difficulty local authorities had in determining his age by sight, he started working at a young age, loading and unloading on the shady part of the docks. One night, Benjamin saw a woman on a faraway jetty, followed her for no apparent reason to a storage shed, and got drained for everything he had. He woke up the next night a vampire and an adept, the stress of the hunger having awakened him, and quickly set about beating someone to near-death and draining their blood. Rapidly fleeing the scene, Benjamin used his cursory knowledge of the local dives and hideaways to set himself up, dragging unsuspecting dockworkers returning home into empty alleys and killing them afterwards to cover his tracks. Eventually, the heat grew too much for him in his hometown, and he had to look for a way out of the district to somewhere where people were looking for him somewhat less aggressively. He was contacted by Ziz, who in exchange for a few 'favors' (unsubtle assassinations) had him smuggled into Auburn. Adopting the street name Leviathan, Benjamin now takes work as a shadowrunner both to pay back Ziz and maintain his new marginally-less horrible lifestyle.

	~~Ikari,~~ born to two superstitious salaryhumans in Western Japan, who as a result brought their "magical" child to a sequestered shrine before they were registered for a SIN, where after many years held in suspense they Awakened as a mage at the age of thirteen. From this young age, Ikari observed the slow degradation of the astral world as caused by the pollution of Japan, and used their meager matrix access to become politically conscious. Quickly become not only politically engaged but politically extreme, Ikari's violent magical reaction to the arrival of an esteemed corporate guest to the shrine resulted in ~~their rapid expulsion not only from the shrine but, effectively~~, ~~from~~ the ~~country as a whole~~. ~~Thanks to their~~ parents ~~cosmopolitan employment and frequent visits~~, ~~Ikari's knowledge of English allowed them to burn~~ their ~~scant savings on a one-way trip to~~ the ~~what they viewed as the world's center of criminal activity, Seattle.~~		Benjamin Moses was born and raised in Everett, overlooking the Sound.
