Background

Alexander was born the firstborn son of two elves from rival corporations Mitsuhama Computer Technologies and Yamatetsu. His family for a long time has been nothing but elves for a very long time and due to the history of his family being imprisoned on Yomi island, they gained resentment of humans during their impressment. Alexanders ancestors using a combination of magic and skill staged a revolt to try and escape their imprisonment. His ancestors were able to hold the prison for 7 days. This gained them the attention of the Tir who sent black ops forces to liberate as many of these imprisoned elves as possible before Japanese forces were sent to retake the prison. Taken from Japan into the Tir they brought many Japanese traditions with them and did not just survive but thrived in the Tir. His family’s numbers swelled in the Tir as they began to make a name for themselves and many of his family members made it into important prominent positions within the Tir. becoming a lineage of distingue elves, it was more than a shock when Alexander was born a human. Feeling shame as to what he was his parents forced him to act and dress like an elf at all times because bioscuplting was not an option for him but even though he did not look like an elf, doctors let his parents known he would have the lifespan of one. He became so good at acting like an elf that most never noticed but his parents knew and resented him for it. Over the years he became skilled with computers and got an internship with Neo net is get him out of his parent’s hair. They sent him out of the Tir and that’s when the crap hit the fan when all the chaos started with Neonet. It ultimately leads to his Sin getting erased and he was forced out into the streets. When he could make it back home his parents told him to leave and go and they would not help him get his sin back that they could not have a human in the family. The only one who took pity on him was his grandmother. Even though he was born human his grandmother is the only one in the family who did not care. She could not take him in but told him that even as a human their families blood was in him which made him strong. Going to a nearby lockbox she gave him something she kept from her time when she was a little girl on Yomi island. She gave him a smooth volcanic rock she kept on it was their family seal and some cash he ended up in Seattle where he ended up using a few of his computer skills to help him make a bit of cash. Alex spent years trying to get his sin back but no matter what he did his sin keeps getting erased by some unknown and strange glitch the matrix. Soon he was soon helped out by a runner known as Villi he saw the Alex had some skills with a computer using what he knew to steal from vending machines and scam some nuyen from people when he could but the real reason he sought out Alex was because of a call from his grandmother.Unknown to Alex, Villi was sent to just make sure the boy did not die before he could get on his feet and taught him how to use his computer skills to crack the matrix once it got updated. Villi never took Alex on runs with him but did let him do some of the lighter work for nuyen to get his feet wet and let him learn how runners work. A few years pass with him doing work for Villi. It got him a few friends one of his closets is known as Mary R. Witcher a Fixer who took a liking to Alex after he kept hanging around the bar left to her by her father after he passed. What clinched the two being friends was when a local gang took interest in the bar and started harassing Mary and her patrons for protection money. Alex heard about what was going o and used his decking skills to make a bit of trouble for the gang known as the Mining crew. Gang member what do they know about the world other then what they can see. Every single one of them carried a shiny new commlink. It did not take long for Alex to get into their systems and monitor all of their communications. Using what he collected he put together enough evidence to send all the gang members to jail. Alex told Mary she would not have to worry about them anymore. Now Mary has grown into a full fixer for local runners setting up jobs for local runners and Alex. When the matrix updated Alex happened to end up on a B&E job where he found a cyberdeck. Lucky for him it had no owner so he snapped it up quickly and has been running with it ever since. Even now away from his family, Alex keeps up dressing like an elf putting on the ears because without them he feels wrong due to how ingrained it is in him to put them on. Now he's driven to make a name for himself in the shadows to make enough money to show his family that even without being an elf he can still become great in the hopes maybe they will take him back.
