Character Information

Summary

A father from Wigan who abandoned his old life entirely, Felix is a mage who firmly stands with his desires to become a polymath and remain free.

Goals

Become the greatest polymath in the 6th world, a master of every field he takes interest in.

Travel to every single country in the world at least once in his life.

Invent a new formula which fundamentally shifts how the 6th world thinks about magic.

Background

One rainy Wigan day, face lit by a nearby trashfire, with the asphalt as his crib, a baby was born - and that baby would be named Dick Speed. His mother was attempting to get to a hospital but failed to reach the closest bus nearby before he was born; I suppose it saves the paperwork of having to go into and out of the hospital, as somehow his mother ended up surviving birth with zero medical assistance. Despite this rather bizarre birth, Dick had a mostly normal childhood until he turned 7 where some kid laughing at him ended up completely mute for about a good 3 days, which is how he discovered he was awakened and got thrown into the alternate Awakened education system where he was taught solely Hermetic theory and the idea of the other traditions through the lense of UMT. When he turned 18, one of the girls from his graduating class - some moderately talented sorcerer named Shenna O'Toole - was interested in being with him, and so he shrugged his way into marriage and a baby named Mark Speed. He didn't want either of those things, but his parents and everyone around them sure did, so he bended to societal expectations and became a father.

While he got a basically guaranteed trip to Oxford Royale Academy due to his magical skill, his wife also ended up being able to go down there, ruining in his view the best part - not dealing with her. However, at the moment, he had full faith in what the college would teach him about magic and the world at large. Every day, it was a bit of learning mixed with a bit more frustration which eventually rubbed off onto their kid, Mark. He surprisingly never got into drinking, instead venting his frustration through extra-curricular work, making him into quite the well versed individual. And that breadth of knowledge attracted quite the strange being - in common parlance, a Mentor Spirit, but to the Dick who still stood for Neoplatonism in full as opposed to the minor levels that post-UMT Hermetics used, it was the Ideal of The Polymath. He showed up and instead of guiding him further into college, he told him college was only going to hyperspecialise him at this point, and that he had to explore the world in order to grow. Dick felt a wave of joy for the first time in his life, because he realised that means he could quit...everything (that, and he saw the writing on the walls of college leading to being a corpo - and he wanted freedom, not more chains). He flunked out of college, handed the divorce papers to his wife, and then ushered her and his son out of the home as he burned it to the ground, walking away with a song in his heart and a whistle on his lips as he burnt every bridge - including his SIN with the help of a guy he knew from college - he could in what appeared as, and may honestly have been, a complete breakdown which was building up for the years the two were married lovelessly.

He flew across the sea to Seattle to start his new life, a now bright and shining twenty five year old man with no legal identification, a body full of mojo, and a need for cash and enrichment. It was only natural that he ended up a Shadowrunner, having already decided on a sigil with a chaote friend of his that would be cool to leave as a calling card and earn fame from. It was his first few runs he got the alias Felix on, and a few more that he'd learn how to play guitar, but it was his 23rd - he'll never forget the exact number - that he got his deep burning hatred for another mage named "Levin". For, he wasn't able to go on that run, which involved breaking into an MCT building in order to steal what turned out to be the modern 2080 Analyse Device formula, entirely because of Levin selling himself better to the J and swiping his spot from under him. His blood boils from Levin's actions and how he rubbed it in his face, vowing to one day kick the everliving shit out of him for that and prove that he was the far superior mage.

And now, we come to present time - he recently got signed on for the ShadowHaven position, and has finally entered the big leagues from what all the stories about the place told him. It was only to go up from here.

Narrative Significant Qualities

Positive

College Education - Having studied at Oxford Royale Academy, at least partially, Felix is able to retain and use vast swaths of information on a level most couldn't dream to do.

Mentor Spirit (Alt Raven, The Ideal Of The Polymath) - His Mentor is not some bird or deity - but a concept. It is the platonic Ideal of the Polymath, manifested into a singular form, and it guides Felix through his desires of complete academic mastery.

Negative

Signature (Uniquely Designed Sigil) - While he's normally quite good about opsec, he does have a fascination with calling cards, leading to him drawing a sigil that implies his presence on every job he ever does.

People Who Know His Sig - Evo, WCM

Vendetta (Levin) - The runner who stole his dream job, Felix utterly despises Levin, desiring to one day absolutely kick his ass.

Trivia

His alias, "Felix", is based off The Odd Coven and was given to him by another runner as a joke to claim he was way too into minor details.

Learned to play guitar from a few WCM guys he doesn't keep in touch with anymore, and prefers to improvise or go original than to play covers.

The sigil he carves is actually the name "Felix" turned into a sigil through various chaos magic sigil-making methods, and then with additional aesthetic details added on.
