Summary

Sticks, born as Desmond Brown, is an Elf born and raised in the city of New Orleans. He ran from his parents and their increasing pressure for him to lead in their crime family, becoming a shadowrunner out of pure survival and a need to lay low. This led to him having a personality rather unfit for a shadowrunner: with a go-getter optimistic attitude, empathic nature, and a fascination for cats that would likely keep him out of more morally dubious runs.

Goals

Sticks, at the moment, wishes to pay off the mortgage he has sustained thanks to Desmond's Cajun Delights. Afterwards, he wishes to buy an actual house for himself in Touristville and open a cat sanctuary for the feral colonies in Seattle.

Powers

Sticks is a full A-Priority Magician under the Shamanistic tradition. He is currently at Initiate Grade 1, not quite powerful as a runner (yet) but has the potential to get stronger. He specializes less in his spellcasting and more of the interaction, summoning, and banishing of spirits; however, he has a sizable spell list, and has a bonus to Illusion spells thanks to his Mentor Spirit. Eyes in the Dark is a free spirit that has imprinted on him, and may be summoned if the GM feels it's appropriate.

SINs

Fake SIN- Desmond Green

Appearance

Sticks is a 5'11 black Elf of a skinny, lanky stature fitting for his title. He sports frosted, tightly braided dreadlocks that droop to about shoulder-length that he ties into a ponytail during missions. He has dark hair, hazel eyes, and an intentional scar on his left eyebrow. He typically sports a small amount of makeup and war paint to match his Shaman image: most notably three stripes of black paint on each side of his face, starting at his jaw extending toward his cheekbones, somewhat resembling the stripes of a tiger.

Clothing

For casual clothing (and low-risk runs), Sticks sports a chest-length crop top and a black leather vest with worn-down skinny jeans and a pair of (formerly) nice but (now) worn-out sneakers. He usually sports various bone-related jewelry typical of a Shaman, namely a pair of alligator-tooth earrings and a necklace of various small bones from rats, rabbits, or birds (he considers it a "gift" from his cats). For more formal occasions, like a party, he may choose to wear a mesh shirt instead... Otherwise, not much changes about his appearance due to a lack of funding.
