	===Summary===		===Summary===
	Otto Von Juergen is a chaos mage of ~~no small talent whose talent lies in~~ enchanting. ~~Otto is a~~ prolific fashion designer, known for his avant-garde designs and unconventional patrons, ~~channeling this~~ artistic passion ~~into~~ his sorcery, weaving spells and enchantments just as he weaves thread. On the surface, Otto maintains his image as an eccentric fashion designer, but underneath ~~Otto~~ has been drawn into the Shadow Community due to ~~both~~ his disdain for the corporations and his ever-growing need for inspiration and magical knowledge that is hard to come by. ~~He is particularly popular~~ among high society mages, as Otto caters to personalized ~~high fashion~~ foci, a niche that he has filled ~~snugly~~. Though Otto ~~now~~ lives a life of relative luxury, the capricious magician is never satisfied~~. Hardened~~ by his years of poverty, underground dealings, and ~~multiple~~ near-death experiences at the hands of corporate hitmen and shadow ~~jobs~~, ~~Otto has become~~ ruthless and ~~jaded,~~ forced to employ brutal tactics to maintain his ~~spot in the world~~. When runners need to have artifacts analyzed, disenchanted, contained, or disposed of, ~~Otto~~ does so eagerly, always ravenous for sources of inspiration. The times that ~~Otto decides~~ to get his hands dirty, he dawns the guise of The Collector, an imposing and dangerous mage that scours the shadows for any talismans, artifacts, or scrap of magical knowledge ~~and decimates~~ mundane and magical foes alike with chaos sorcery. He brings a powerful force of magical prowess to any squad, wielding destructive and defensive spells that ~~decimate~~ foes and safeguard allies ~~as well as~~ being a repository for magical knowledge and shoring up any gaps in magical defense. Though his eccentric and ~~erudite~~ personality can off-put the rough-and-tumble thugs of the Shadow Community, ~~none~~ can deny his efficacy, talent, and conviction~~. If it's an object and it's magical, Otto is the one to find, research, destroy, collect, or fabricate it~~.

	==Background==		==Background==
	Otto was born and raised in the Allied German States to a middle-class family working as wage slaves for Frankfurter Bankenverein. This dreadfully bland and draining environment would be what would form the soil for which Otto's colorful ambitions would grow. His mother would always tuck him in at night and tell him the most fantastical bedtime stories, such stupendous tales like a cow leaping over the moon, a peasant girl with a fairy godmother, or an old woman who lived in a shoe. These dreams would plant themselves like seeds in the young boy's mind, and as he grew, he would grow to find the magic that dwelled within himself. He always caused trouble at school with his magic as he would revel in entertaining and mystifying other students with his unique powers, marveling at his own abilities and imagining himself in those sweet tales that fueled his dreams each night. When he came into adulthood, he naturally became enthralled with magic as an academic subject, utterly mystified by its unknowable depths. Though it took a long time and a lot of work and saving, his parents had funded him to go to a hermetic college to study magic. Eager and ambitious, Otto's excitment soured to disappointment. The young magician could not endure the droning lessons, the trivialization of something as limitless and awe-inspiring as magic. His peers and teachers shunned creativity as carelessness and dangerous, stifling the growing magician's capricious nature. Otto could not stand it, dropping out and instead deciding to put his magic to use outside of the droning corporate hives that dominated the world. He struck out on his own as a fashion designer who could transform frumpy dresses into beautiful gowns, drawn to the prospect of bringing life and color to a world mired in malaise, putting his power to more use than theory and casting wards for mega-corps all day, becoming the fairy godmother figure he always imagined himself being. However, this dream was no simple task to achieve. Penniless and desperate, Otto was forced to use his magic for more nefarious purposes to get by in the world, doing minor favors for criminals and gangs every so often. To achieve his fantasy of being the fairy god mother, he also had to be the evil witch, a turn he never anticipated his life taking. His adrduous work paid off, however, and finally he scrounged enough money to showcase his work at a gala, where he showcased his finest works in his "Gute Fee", or Fairy Godmother collection. This was his big break, one that thrust Otto into the spotlight, much to the chagrin of the established fashion brands in the Allied German States. Otto enjoyed his 15 minutes of fame, releasing new collections and accruing magical items of wonderment with his the profits he now generated. However, it wouldn't be long before the sleuths his competitors hired uncovered his shady past. The rumors he could handle, but what he could not was the deaths of his parents in a work-related accident. The Corp had cut corners on safety in the office his parents had worked in, and when the building collapsed, many lives were lost. Unable to bear the pain of remaining in the German States with nothing but slander to his name and reminders of his grief, he made the decision to leave the German States. In order to get back into his driven and determined self, he made a bold move, arriving in the fashion scene with a debut as a surprise attendant in a summer gala hosted by Shiawase Fashion broadcasted across the Matrix. His exotic designs shocked and awed the UCAS masses and designers who now have to contend with this bizarre German sorcerer who seemed unburdened by any corporate shackles or sense of conformity. However, to remain free of those corporate and conformist shackles, Otto has had to resort to his old ways, adopting the insidious persona of The Collector and embroiling himself in the affairs of the Shadow Community to keep himself funded and his competitors on their toes, all the while accruing mystical knowledge he covets so deeply.

	==Background==		==Background==
	Otto was born and raised in the Allied German States to a middle-class family working as wage slaves for Frankfurter Bankenverein a dreadfully bland and draining environment that would form the soil for which Otto's colorful ambitions would grow. His mother would always tuck him in at night and tell him the most fantastical bedtime stories, such stupendous tales like a cow leaping over the moon, a peasant girl with a fairy godmother, or an old woman who lived in a shoe. These dreams would plant themselves like seeds in the young boy's mind, and as he grew, he would grow to find the magic that dwelled within himself. ~~Always~~ caused trouble at school with his magic as he would revel in entertaining and mystifying other students with his unique powers. When he came into adulthood, he found himself unable to follow his parents into the soul-crushing world of corporate droning. His parents had funded him to go to a hermetic college to study magic, but Otto could not endure the droning lessons, the trivialization of something as limitless and awe-inspiring as magic. His peers and teachers shunned creativity as carelessness and dangerous, stifling the growing magician's capricious nature. Otto could not stand it, dropping out and instead deciding ~~instead~~ to put his magic to use outside of the droning corporate hives that dominated the world. He struck out on his own as a fashion designer who could transform frumpy dresses into beautiful gowns, drawn to the prospect of bringing life and color to a world mired in malaise, putting his power to more use than theory and casting wards for mega-corps all day. However, this dream was no simple task to achieve. Penniless and desperate, Otto was forced to use his magic for more nefarious purposes to get by in the world, doing minor favors for criminals and gangs every so often to fund his dream. Finally, he scrounged enough money to attend a gala, where he showcased his finest works in his "Gute Fee", or Fairy Godmother collection. This was his big break, one that thrust Otto into the spotlight, much to the chagrin of the established fashion brands in the Allied German States. Otto enjoyed his 15 minutes of fame, releasing new collections and accruing magical items of wonderment with his the profits he now generated. However, it wouldn't be long before the sleuths his competitors hired uncovered his shady past. ~~Once~~ rumors ~~started circulating~~, ~~Otto knew~~ he ~~had to shake things up. And so after leaving~~ his parents ~~with~~ a ~~substantial fortune.~~.. he ~~moved~~ to the ~~great UCAS!~~ In a bold move, ~~he made~~ a debut as a surprise attendant in a summer gala hosted by Shiawase Fashion broadcasted across the Matrix. His exotic designs shocked and awed the UCAS masses and designers who now have to contend with this bizarre German sorcerer who seemed unburdened by any corporate shackles or sense of conformity. However, ~~in order~~ to remain free of those corporate and conformist shackles, Otto has had to resort to his old ways, adopting the insidious persona of The Collector and embroiling himself in the affairs of the Shadow Community to keep himself funded and his competitors on their toes, all the while accruing mystical knowledge.

The rumors he could handle, but what he could not was the deaths of his parents in a work-related accident. The Corp had cut corners on safety in the office his parents had worked in, and when the building collapsed, many lives were lost. Unable to bear the pain of remaining in the German States with nothing but slander to his name and reminders of his grief, he made the decision to leave the German States. In order to get back into his driven and determined self, he made a bold move, arriving in the fashion scene with a debut as a surprise attendant in a summer gala hosted by Shiawase Fashion broadcasted across the Matrix. His exotic designs shocked and awed the UCAS masses and designers who now have to contend with this bizarre German sorcerer who seemed unburdened by any corporate shackles or sense of conformity.

	===Summary===		===Summary===
	Otto Von Juergen is a chaos mage of no small talent~~, versed in a vast array of sorcery, though his true~~ talent lies in enchanting. Otto is a prolific fashion designer, known for his avant-garde designs and unconventional patrons, channeling this artistic passion into his sorcery, weaving spells and enchantments just as he weaves thread. On the surface, Otto maintains his image as an eccentric fashion designer, but underneath Otto has been drawn into the Shadow Community due to both his disdain for the corporations and his ever-growing need for inspiration and magical knowledge that is hard to come by. He is particularly popular among high society mages, as Otto caters to personalized high fashion foci, a niche that he has filled snugly. When runners need to have artifacts analyzed, disenchanted, contained, or disposed of, Otto does so eagerly. The times that Otto decides to get his hands dirty, he dawns the guise of The Collector, an imposing and dangerous mage that scours the shadows for any talismans, artifacts, or scrap of magical knowledge and decimates mundane and magical foes alike with chaos sorcery. He brings a powerful force of magical prowess to any squad, wielding destructive and defensive spells that decimate foes and safeguard allies as well as being a repository for magical knowledge and shoring up any gaps in magical defense. Though his eccentric and erudite personality can off-put the rough-and-tumble thugs of the Shadow Community, none can deny his efficacy, talent, and conviction. If it's an object and it's magical, Otto is the one to find, research, destroy, collect, or fabricate it.		Otto Von Juergen is a chaos mage of no small talent whose talent lies in enchanting.

He is particularly popular among high society mages, as Otto caters to personalized high fashion foci, a niche that he has filled snugly. Though Otto now lives a life of relative luxury, the capricious magician is never satisfied. Hardened by his years of poverty, underground dealings, and multiple near-death experiences at the hands of corporate hitmen and shadow jobs, Otto has become ruthless and jaded, forced to employ brutal tactics to maintain his spot in the world.
