Character Information
Summary
A man whose luck turned upside down upon his awakening, and spent most of his youth on the streets of Seattle, Ashford now runs to make due using his magical skills.
Goals
Live in a permanent Luxury lifestyle, where his talents can simply be let to grow - his previous goals were simple and pathetic, Ashford is far too good for such trivialities, at least by his words.
Background
Born in Seattle, Brent Mulligan was born in 2038. His life was rather simple, living with two SINners in a rather nice home in the nice parts of Belleuve, taking interest in the sciences during his free time. That is, it was simple, before he was Awakened.
When his studies delved into the magical at just the age of 13, his live delved into despair as his father was arrested for aggravated assault, and mother was found one too many times with novacoke remnants and a runny nose. As he was only a kid, he was taken into Child Protective Services, more of a prison to his youthful obsession than a far better alternative to being on the streets, at least in his teenage eyes.
However, he was never to be truly held down, managing to escape, spending his teenage years and 20s as a homeless mage, just wandering the streets of Seattle, cursing his own desire to learn in an irrational attempt to explain why his life turned out like this. Once he hit 32, he found himself a fixer, someone who he had already met from when he managed to scrounge up money and eat out, a small orc by the name of Casey Micheal. One who came to be called Shrimp in his eyes as business took over. It was purely business all the way through, and for Brent, that ment getting a whole new fake life, starting with a name. Ashford, he coined, before being hooked up with a plethora of fake licenses and a fake SIN; the necessities of an aspiring runner, before he got to work with his spells.
Having never used said spells in a practical scenario before, his first few runs were rough, to say the least. If no one ended up dead it was a miracle, and the fact Ashford even got to work under him more than once was a twist of fate no one could've even imagined. I suppose the reason he wasn't quickly tossed aside was his rather quick initial growth, going from a liability to a magical toolkit that wasn't exactly unwelcomed within the span of a month: a leap in difference more monumentous than the first step on the moon.
Eventually, over 14 years, hiring a lawyer he'd get to know quite well in Anderson Silvers, he'd get a few johnsons singing his praises, and even old Shrimp would start to see his talents, as they sent for Ashford's admittance to the Haven.
Narrative Significant Qualities
Positive
Mentor Spirit (Fire-Bringer): After working alongside other runners on an attack against the Yakuza, a spirit symbolising kindness approached him and offered a contract which he eventually accepted. Now he learns from this spirit.
Negative
Allergy (Moderate, Mould): When around mould he begins to develop hives and welts alongside abdominal pain and swelling in the face.
Creature of Comfort (Middle Class): His experience from being homeless has made the current life he enjoys somewhat addictive, as if he's forced to live in a cheaper local it makes him think he's being drawn closer to his past life.
