===Summary===
===Summary===
After high-school, Gulliver Swift snuck into college to see how it was. By chance, he ended up in a lecture about hostage negociations. It was intriguing!<br>
A young man from the poorest corner of Redmond Barrens managed to stay away from addiction and crime and to get a college education as a hostage negotiator. But, he doesn't have the papers to prove it. So, getting a job with a security firm is impossible. He just recently discovered that he is awakened. The Shadows embrace him.<br>
After two and a half years, he'd visited enough classes to graduate, if it wasn't for the fact that he'd never registered.
A college education is expensive. He didn't have the money. He found a way to learn. Just not a way to get an official diploma.<br>
As a fresh graduate without official graduation and accreditation, gulliver waits tables in Touristville, as he figures out how to become a professional (hostage-) negotiator for a security companies.<br>
Little does he know that he's bound for The Shadows, becuase the world is tough for those without proper papers.


===Goals===

==Background==
==Background==
Grew up in a hispanic block in Redmond and has lived there all his life.
His parents were constantly high on drugs, so no one would be surprised that they accidentally enrolled him in a christian hispanic kindergarten as he was a baby. His parents didn't have any association to Spanish, except that their drug-dealer from South America had a notable accent.
The lack of role models at home made Gulliver turn to good people within the church community in the search for people to look up to.<br>
His parents both died within weeks of each other as he was 11 and he was forced to choose between "crack" or "crack the books". He decided to be great in school instead of persuing a career as a street corner pharmasist with the "high" potential of swift promotion to gutter zombie.<br>
The Spanish speaking catholic school served a meal a day for those who went to class. Week-Ends and holidays were brutal starvation with an occational BBQ rat feast when he managed to snipe a rat in the basement.
As he grew, he rarely had time for trouble because he was studying all the time. After high-school, he didn't have the money for tuition but went to college anyway. He snuck into lectures and managed to deceive everyone that he belonged there. He completed the curriculum for hostage and chrisis negotiators. He just never got a diploma, or other credentials, nor did he ever pay a single Nooj for tuition.<br>
Without papers, he can't get his dream-job as negotiatior for a high ranking law enforcement organization. He currently waits tables in Touristville and volunteers at his church's chrisis hotline while he tries to figure out how to escape the barrens.<br>
Recently, he discovered that he's awakend and magically inclined. He spoke to his pastor about this and was put in contact with a Catholic Knights Order to be vetted to see if could have what it takes to become a member. He apreciates what he learns during "retreats", but doesn't feel well around the members of the order. They are way too fanatic for his taste.<br>
Instead of turning to the knight's order to discuss the spirituallity of magic, Gulliver has found comfort in speaking to his friend, the Jamaican musician Prince Robert (Bob) Selassie about the topic. Bob is frequently high on awakened weed. Their conversations are both deep and profund. Bob is his connection to the Obeah tradition.

Character Information

Summary

A young man from the poorest corner of Redmond Barrens managed to stay away from addiction and crime and to get a college education as a hostage negotiator. But, he doesn't have the papers to prove it. So, getting a job with a security firm is impossible. He just recently discovered that he is awakened. The Shadows embrace him.

Goals

(In character goals and aspirations)
Not just to wait tables. To put food on my own!
Get a job as hostage negotiatior at a security firm, or conflict negotiator for the military or a mercinary unit.

Background

Grew up in a hispanic block in Redmond and has lived there all his life. His parents were constantly high on drugs, so no one would be surprised that they accidentally enrolled him in a christian hispanic kindergarten as he was a baby. His parents didn't have any association to Spanish, except that their drug-dealer from South America had a notable accent. The lack of role models at home made Gulliver turn to good people within the church community in the search for people to look up to.
His parents both died within weeks of each other as he was 11 and he was forced to choose between "crack" or "crack the books". He decided to be great in school instead of persuing a career as a street corner pharmasist with the "high" potential of swift promotion to gutter zombie.
The Spanish speaking catholic school served a meal a day for those who went to class. Week-Ends and holidays were brutal starvation with an occational BBQ rat feast when he managed to snipe a rat in the basement.

As he grew, he rarely had time for trouble because he was studying all the time. After high-school, he didn't have the money for tuition but went to college anyway. He snuck into lectures and managed to deceive everyone that he belonged there. He completed the curriculum for hostage and chrisis negotiators. He just never got a diploma, or other credentials, nor did he ever pay a single Nooj for tuition.

Without papers, he can't get his dream-job as negotiatior for a high ranking law enforcement organization. He currently waits tables in Touristville and volunteers at his church's chrisis hotline while he tries to figure out how to escape the barrens.

Recently, he discovered that he's awakend and magically inclined. He spoke to his pastor about this and was put in contact with a Catholic Knights Order to be vetted to see if could have what it takes to become a member. He apreciates what he learns during "retreats", but doesn't feel well around the members of the order. They are way too fanatic for his taste.
Instead of turning to the knight's order to discuss the spirituallity of magic, Gulliver has found comfort in speaking to his friend, the Jamaican musician Prince Robert (Bob) Selassie about the topic. Bob is frequently high on awakened weed. Their conversations are both deep and profund. Bob is his connection to the Obeah tradition.

Narrative Significant Qualities

Steely Eyed Wheelman:
The only way to afford going out with his fellow students was to be the dedicated sober driver while the others got drunk and paid his cover-fees and soft-drinks. Cop-students are known to be the worst law-breakers. His drunk mates were no exeption and constantly managed to get into "situations" they had to escape from quickly. This was how Gulliver, the designated driver, realized his natural talent for driving.

Negative

Allergy, uncommon, moderate, strawberries:
Delicious, but seldom worth the itch.
