Alkali is a maid mage. A made maid mage. Magically, he's essentially mediocre, his arcane toolbox still in the process of being filled. He can do wards and watchers and a few basic spells with no clear specialty. He does, however, have 7 edge and the ability to call up force 7 spirits. That helps. He works for the Choson Ring when he isn't running, making sure their nerds don't all get killed by spirits. In his free time, he's looking for God. | |||

Background
Edwin has been an outsider for his entire life but he was not always an outsider alone.
Narrative Significant Qualities
Positive
Wise Beyond His Station (Common Sense, College Education): Alkali studied the arcane at college while still a spark. He showed great passion for the material, even while beleaguered beneath multiple jobs. Once awakened, he made sense of magic through the observable, the logical, the replicable. Those sensibilities will serve him well.
Occult Beyond His Years (Spirit Whisperer, Focused Concentration): Despite his lower magical capacity, Alkali is still a potent arcane force to be reckoned with. He can maintain low force spells without issue and the spirits that he calls forth, pieces of the astral sea, are more powerful and mysterious than they ought to be. Some of this, perhaps, is luck, but something must be said for his unique talents.
Criminal Beyond His Measure (Made Man): Alkali is not properly one of the Choson Ring, he does not speak the language and he doesn't hack. However, good mages are in high demand and Alkali is the best mage available. For the price point. He has worked dutifully for them for years, ensuring no projecting mages snoop on the vulnerable nerds in hot-sim, suppling them with wards and watchers and occasionally, using his arcane talents to erase one problem or another. He may be an outsider but he has climbed as high as an outsider rightly can.
Negative
Weak Lungs and Weak Stomach (Asthma, Unsteady Hands): Physical frailness apparently runs in his family. His sister nearly died from overwork and its likely Alkali would have suffered a similar fate if he had not awakened. His lungs do not work properly and he relies upon an inhaler. He's also easily rattled, any aloof or distant demeanor is very easily shattered when his hands start shaking after a gunfight. Maybe he wasn't meant for this life.
The Many Flaws of the Faithless (Lack of Focus, Compulsive: Neat Freak): We are all shaped by our experiences. Alkali is no exception. He is neurotic with compulsive, cleaning tendencies and he is prone to flights of fancy, to getting lost within his own mind, pondering the nature of the divine.
Those That Are Sacrificed in Our Name, Amen (Dependent: Nuisance, Big Regret): Both qualities are keyed to the same thing, his hospitalized sister, Min Hye-Jin. The Choson Ring takes cares of the majority of her medical payments, however Edwin still makes sure to bring her flowers and other gifts, as well read and talk to her. Even if she's rarely conscious to talk back.
