Character Information

Summary

Arete is a mystic adept with skills in spellcasting and summoning as well as adept powers. He is mentored by Athena, the Wise Warrior of Olympianism. She has influenced his character and instilled a strict code of honor. She has also shaped his approach to shadowrunning in general and conflict in particular. Strategy, tactics, and logistics carry the day not blood lust. Arete is aggressive but not impulsive.

Goals

Arete as an entity is the Greek goddess of virtue and knowledge. Arete as a concept is a word which means "excellence," "fulfillment," or "virtue", especially a person or thing's "full realization of potential or inherent function". Arete in early Greek moral thought is something striven for throughout one's life. A person of arete is of the highest effectiveness; such a person uses all of their faculties — strength, bravery, and wit — to achieve real results.

Short Term

Acquire money for tactical resources such as reagents, sensory enhancements, tools, et cetera. Initiate and acquire masking.

Medium Term

Accumulate money for infrastructure. Acquire a few new contacts.

Long Term

Expand magical power and capabilities.

Background

Jason was born to Christopher Argyris and Athena Drakos in the summer of 2057. He grew up in the vibrant Greek community along Danforth Avenue in east Toronto. His earliest memories are of a female warrior with a horse-hair crested helmet and bronze breastplate and greaves watching over him. He Awakened at a young age both as an adept and magician. Attended Seattle University's Magical theory and Arts program on an academic scholarship. He met Anna Van Der Pelt through her talismongering business. Anna found him odd jobs in the shadows and by the time he graduated shadow work was appealing.

Narrative Significant Qualities

Positive

Mentor spirit - Athena, the Wise Warrior. Conflict is too important to let emotion hold sway. Strategy, tactics, and logistics carry the day not blood lust.

Jack of All Trades Master of None - A quick study but sometimes loses focus.

Negative

SINer - His parents are white collar UCAS citizens.

Mild Uncommon Phobia (Snakes) - Too slithery.

Code of Honor (Warriors Code) - Nature or Nurture? Hard to say, especially with a mentor spirit in the mix.
