Character Information

Aspect	Information	Related Run(s)
Unapologetic Monster	John was once a proud CAS soldier. Then he was captured by Fear the Dark and tortured. When his body gave out, he was turned. Then tortured more. He keeps many of the values he had in life. He doesn't harm those who don't deserve it. Some call him a monster for eating his enemies, but how is it different from any other Shadowrunner killing theirs?	N/A
Less Than Lethal, if Possible	He often doesn't shoot to kill. Aside from those ne needs to, he'll often take the less than lethal route. People already think so badly of vampires. Anything he can do to improve his image is a plus.	N/A

Goals

Expand his magic. Dark paths are open to him now, and immortality is a long time to perfect his skills.

Background

John Riley was born in Charleston to military parents. He grew up in a military household. He awakened when he was seven, and joined the Army at 18. He served for three years as a military mage in the Rangers before his capture.

John was caught up in the attacks from Fear the Dark. His unit was responding to an attack and was overpowered. Several were taken alive, all were tortured and killed. John lasted the longest. For his tenacity, he was turned, and tortured some more. This went on for almost a year before he caught a lucky break. Shadowrunners, hired to kill the infected, became John's saviors. Leery at first, he was rescued and proceeded to help the Runners exterminate the infected. They went their separate ways after.

John first tried to visit his parents. They were more accepting than one might think. The Army had written him off as "lost in action", so there was no real place for him at home. His father once came across a group that might help him. He was given contact information for a Fixer in Seattle. Another infected, whom John's father had met and been impressed with. He left home, never to return. His parents are still there and they still regard him as part of the family. That is enough for him.

So he now lives in Seattle. He met Jean-Baptiste and his sister Amelie and they soon put him to work.

Narrative Significant Qualities

Positive

Astral Chameleon - John is a master at controlling his magic. Military training is very useful in the Shadows.

Dual Natured Defender - Tricks learned from Amelie and her brother. Good for surviving.

Infected: Human Vampire - John is that which goes bump in the night. He has no self loathing, or superhuman views about himself. And he tries to stick to bad guys for his fill of throats.

Mage - John was originally a Hermetic. He turned to Dark Magic after he escaped Fear the Dark.

Mentor Spirit: Wolf - Cruel and ruthless, Wolf sees potential in John. John doesn't share Wolf's cruelty, but there's potential there. John just needs a little push...

Too Pretty to Hit -

Negative

Addiction (Mild) (Psyche) - A common drug used by Mages.

Allergy: Silver, Severe - Shapeshifters aren’t normally allergic to silver, but due to unfortunate genetics, Ty is.

Code of Honor(Akichita Code) - Ty adopted a code used by many of those in his native home.

Code of Honor(Shaman's Code) - Ty took the code as a condition to be able to call upon Great Form Spirits.

Distinctive Style - His ears, tail, and teeth cause him to physically stick out, and his astral form is distinct. In FBA, he could be easily picked out as a mage in blue and black armor fighting along side his companions. He also almost always uses air spirits in combat.

SINner: Salish-Shidhe Council - His original SIN. Ty is in good standing back in the SSC.

Uneducated - Ty grew up in the wild. Formal education is a foreign concept to him. Ty has been around humans for years. And he has learned most of the basics.
