	Bad luck - The only explanation for it really, being an Elf is considered a blessing to most regular metahumans (their views on that blessing notwithstanding) but for Tears, it's been an albatross around his neck.

	''The rain was unending as it battered the pockmarked roads and ~~monolthic~~ plascrete apartment blocks. Here in Seattle on the western sea board of America, rain. Not unlike home.

	Rembrandt "Hearts" Taylor had been born to ashamed, clipped ex-JIS first generation Elves in 2053, in a small village in the United Kingdom - for whatever passed as a village now. An exurb of Greater London that stood as stark contrast to what many would think of as a village - in place of community were shattered families and abuse. There were no prospects here, no employable skills to be gained, no hope of a better life, even one in service to a corporation. People would sooner rob Peter to pay Paul than do something, anything, that might help raise them from the malaise of a village that the world had left behind. And escape? Well, escape was absolutely possible - moving to London, begging on the streets, working some dead-end job to pay for a squat and counting every NuYen - but people thought themselves better than that. Simple men and women, living side by side in mutual self-loathing, those were the ties that bound them,		Rembrandt "Hearts" Taylor had been born to ashamed, clipped ex-JIS first generation Elves in 2053, in a small village in the United Kingdom - for whatever passed as a village now.

	And Rembrandt was born. Born an Elf. The luckiest of metahumans - naturally graceful, elegant, beautiful. Too good for the village. Too arrogant by half to have the temerity to exist. He was shunned, by the adults first of all, for being different - for being one of those that had everything handed to them on a plate, one of those who's kind pulled the strings of the world. Then by the children, somewhat for their parents views, but because he was better than them at some things - quick on his feet in soccer, a half-passable singing voice. It was easy for them to justify their parents hatred.		And Rembrandt was born. Born an Elf. The luckiest of metahumans - naturally graceful, elegant, beautiful. Too good for the village.
