===Summary===
===Summary===
Sticks 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 secretive drug and BTL trade, 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, empathy, and a fascination for cats that would likely keep him out of more morally dubious runs. His fake SIN claims him to be Desmond Green, but he prefers if he was only called Sticks.
Sticks, born as Desmond Brown, is an African-American 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===
===Goals===
Sticks hopes that, one day, he can open altruism-centric organizations to bring a selfless attitude back to the dystopian suburbs of the United-Canadian American States. This includes a soup kitchen, cat sanctuary, rehabs, halfway houses... Probably more if you asked him. But, for now, he just takes care of a bunch of stray cats he found on the street in his rundown Seattle apartment.
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.

Summary

Sticks, born as Desmond Brown, is an African-American 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.
