Character Information
Summary
Nach is a desperate Barrens Rat who has managed to claw their way up the rat pile far enough to scrap out a forgotten corner in Touristville, keeping afloat largely through theft and violence—they are willing to do anything to avoid washing back out into the Barrens-proper. They are gently minded toward moments of discovery by their mentor, Curiosity.
They're utterly unfamiliar with the magical abilities which have allowed them to make it this far, chalking up any gleaming moments of excellence to clever discoveries and particular, practiced exercises. They recognize that they are empowered, but have no coherent framework which structures their abilities; it's all vibes.
Goals
- Find a Roof: Nach's present tenement corner is a frigid spot in winter, or suffering hot in summer, and barely manages to meet even their basic needs.
- Big Dreams: Nach aspires to carve out their own little spot of paradise. It's a dream they barely remember they have.
- Eyes To The Sky: A latent curiosity burns ember-hot deep within their chest, some version of hope nourished along by a mentoring presence which quietly pushes this Rat to become more than they are today.
Background
A Barrens Rat, through and through. Life endured through the worst of the Sixth World has produced an individual who, at one point, lived in a state of near-catatonic paranoia. That inchoate state is yesterday's arrangement, however: Nach's continued ruminations and deep pursuit of maddening possibilities has brought them around to the point of possessing ostensibly sufficient faculties. Life has never quite gone Nach's way: opportunities to escape their Barrens-born realm of limited life have slipped from the tips of their grasping fingers time, and time again.
Most of Nach's bolt-holes sport bullet-hole collections in the walls, through their doors, by the time they have uprooted to relocated. Most of those redecorations are worthwhile additions. It's a constant vindication of their fears which keeps Nach so certain that most, if not all, of the Sixth World is out to get them. The notion that this constant vindication may be, in no small part, due to a lifetime of residence in and around the Redmond Barrens has never truly registered for this Rat.
They slipped into the grungiest of Shadowrunning work near by accident, taking on jobs for a pawn shop owner they deliver stolen goods to...
A nascent curiosity burns as were it an ember, one buried down deep in their heart. They're always looking up, trying to figure an angle, find something new: the Sixth world makes no sense to them; the cruelties, the vexingly complex social apparatus, how Corporate machinations dictate their life. They suppose, some number of steps beyond consious recognition, that this opportunity afforded by Alex "Good'ol" Samson might be their first real chance to figure some of it all out.
Narrative Significant Qualities
- Comes From Rough Stuff (Bilingual (City Speak), Insomnia, Disheveled) : Nach never learned how to dress themselves, and it shows. The barrens have taken their pound of flesh, too; years of exposure have left Nach in a state where true rest is never to be found. However, they do know how to parlay with those most wretched of the metroplex.
- Haunted Glares (First Impression, DYJCMD?) : Their mild manner and initially attractive appearance soften first encounters... However, the longer one spends around Nach, the more off they seem to be. Occasionally, the roiling paranoia which seethes beneath the surface takes over.
- Unpredictable Approaches (Mentor Spirit: Curiosity, Chaos Tradition) : There is only one way through, that of a line of flight traced by a falling leaf. Nach practices the watching of these unpredictable patterns, always seeking to find the particular avenue of understanding which will afford them a path forward. Certainty and stability have offered them nothing in this life.

Appearance
In the Meat
This rangy young man stretches tall and coltish, his torso lengthy. Crowned with a dark shock of wavy sable locks that fall down and about his ears, his features are more oft than not cast into shadowy relief beneath them. High cheekbones and a razor jaw frame vividly hazel eyes which consider the world with a dimmed, and haunted, intensity. They set wide and large upon his fair and freckled features.
Those features are all symmetrical planes and hard edges; angular, not hollowed. His nose is upturned and sharp. Across the bridge a notch chops into a diagonal: it intersects with a faint pink scar that interrupts his right eyebrow and carves shallow across left cheek's high lifting. Coral lips purse thin and with thought.
Attired in a subpar synthwear hodgepodge, it is apparent that he both does not know how to dress and does not afford the means to acquire anything newer than third-hand.
