Character Information

Summary

Sage is an easygoing African-Japanese troll mage. He is a respected professor at MIT&T, teaching Magical Theory and Defense Against Magical Threats. A neatly dressed older fellow with a strong moral code, he hates the powers that be and wants to do his small part to bring them down. In his free time, he reads. Paper books from old libraries, cast-off papers, and forgotten letters fill his home. He uses calligraphy as an artistic expression. He wants to become a famous writer (and become the greatest sword master in the world).

Goals

• Become a famous storyteller.
• Improve his swordsmanship skills.
• Buy a bike.
• Get a house as good as his old one.
• Publish his own matrix games.

Background

Sage was born in Boston to a middle-class family in 2030. His real name is Kwezi Kujo, but his street name is “Sage.” His parents were SINners, his father an African scientist and his mother a Japanese ex-soldier. When he was young, he was identified as an Awakened and given the appropriate education at a preparatory school. At age 18 Kwezi enrolled in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Thaumaturgy. After eight years of hard work, he was conferred a Doctorate of Thaumaturgy (Th.D) in 2056. Partly caught in the hype of Dunkelzahn announcing his intention to run for President, Kwezi enlisted in the UCAS army for a four-year tour of duty in the Mage Corps. (What can he say, he was a fanboy.) In the army he was sent on special missions to fight magical threats. (You know, blood magic, insect spirits, shadow spirits and toxic magic.) After returning home in 2060, he worked as a private detective and occult investigator. (He was technically still serving in the reserves at this time, but who cares about that drek?) Kwezi decided to retire for a more quiet life after the catastrophic Matrix Crash of 2064. He became a respected professor at MIT&T, teaching Magical Theory and Defense Against Magical Threats. He also conducted research on artifacts as part of his duties. He has a close relationship to the DIMR due to this. Now, in 2080, Prof. Kujo has been drawn back to the shadows by the urging of his mentor spirit Fire-Bringer. Humanis has been a recurring thorn in Kujo's side for many years, and he wants to take them down a peg.

Appearance

He is covered in tattoos and speaks in a noticeable accent. A prominent western dragon is on each bicep, and an assortment of stylized tattoos run along his dark brown skin ranging from Celtic knotwork to Egyptian hieroglyphic designs, stylized scrollwork along one forearm, a running dragon along another. The crowning piece is a classic-looking red serpent that dominates his chest, and on his back lies a bright red “A” in the center of a bright red circle. Kwezi has a full braided red beard. His curling ram-like horns are etched with Norse runes, and his tusks are carved with the kanji for fire and wisdom. In the middle of his forehead is a tattoo of the Eye of Horus. He is slightly more slender than most trolls and has a narrow, tapered jaw with a mouthful of sharp teeth. His golden almond-shaped eyes show a look of constant curiosity.

Clothing

He currently wears a cheap suit underneath an armor jacket, with a trenchcoat over that. He wears a fedora for business, and a helmet with a gas mask and trodes for "business." He wears his sword in an ornate scabbard on his hip, and he uses a riot shield when drek hits the fan.

Matrix Persona

Sage uses three personas, one each for casual, business, and gaming. He goes by the handle of "Ifrit."

• For casual use he has a handsome, younger troll or elf with dark skin and usually a dancer's costume of some sort. The exact build and appearance change on a whim, but he is usually accompanied by lots of fire.
• For business he appears as a slender and thin troll with fiery hair and adorned in robes and golden bands.
• His favorite avatar for gaming (and the unlikely cybercombat) is a red skinned warrior mage in golden armor, equipped with a flaming sword and shield.
