Character Information
Summary
Marco Maximus Diaz turned 18, enlisted in the UCAS Army, lived in Manhattan, New York, and was a part-time librarian. Attended college to study his English literature, poetry, and Astral Penomena Magic. His inspiration came from famous magicians and musicians alike, more importantly. Music & Acting. Marco decided to head out and find fame & fortune.
Although his dreams soon turned into a nightmare when he was drafted (pre-selected) against his will. After the end of the war, Marco decided to move in Seattle, Washington wanting a new fresh start. His physique is strong, but his will may have broken him for life. His hopes of living his new life will be different. Although, like The Sixth World, is a cruel place, his life came to an unfortunate demise.

Background
Marco has little to no recollection of who he is- or where'd he come from. All he can remember was the car crash, and drowned underwater. Except, he remembers clearly being executed by a group of orcs and Shadowrunner mercs accompanied by a surge reptile wearing a fancy suit, and eventually he was shot in the head on the spot, leaving him for dead. Later by some miracle, he just happen to run into a group of Shadowrunner mercs and brought him in only to discover his package is stolen. Everyone blamed the courier for losing it (not because of him, but because of his new boss Matt Stryker decided to dock everyone's pay).
Eventually, he orders everyone to take him to go see Sturges, did his best to patch up the young kid, removed fragments of what's left of his brains and skull. Marco made it in a full recovery. Sturges laughed at him when he asked "what were you doing in the dumpster breeder?" Marco can barely think straight. He can only remember he was carrying a silver briefcase he smuggled into the city. His killers took something from him, but what's puzzling is his strange tattoo on his right shoulder. A butterfly.
What's more very strange is his estrange girlfriend Keora- a surge pucca half human/half goat, claims she knows Marco well since elementary school. Except, his newfound girlfriend was killed in a car accident and saw her drowned- like him. Due to his lack of memory loss he can only remember who he is (or... who he was). His mana barely recovered slowly, he can feel his body is weightless. The problem is- he knows nothing about magic, but his knowledge still retains small fragments from his past life. His pursuit to find the man who killed him, and discover his true identity lies within the shadows. He decided to name himself, Max Pain.
Narrative Significant Qualities
◆ Agile Defender - Speed kills, but quickness and agility can be the key to avoiding a speedy death. This quality allows the character to use their Agility in place of their Willpower attribute while using Full Defense
◆ Focused Concentration I - A technomancer or magic user with the Focused Concentration quality has the discipline to manipulate mana or Resonance more precisely than otherwise possible. This precision reduces stress to the magic user’s or technomancer’s body. She is able to sustain one spell/complex form with a force/level equal to her Focused Concentration rating without suffering any penalties.
For example, a magic user with Focused Concentration rating 3 may sustain a Force 3 Armor spell without taking the negative dice pool modifier for sustaining a spell. Sustaining any additional spells or complex forms incurs the standard –2 dice pool modifier per spell or complex form sustained. This quality may only be taken by magic user characters that are able to cast spells and technomancers.
◆ Mystic Adept - Cast spells, perform rituals, boost attributes, enhance reflexes, and traditions
◆ Mentor Spirit (Dragonslayer) - If Max breaks a promise, or an oath, he suffers a -1 penalty on all dice modifiers until he fulfills his promise
◆ Mentor's Mask - A shaman's mask, a side effect due to his awakening state
◆ Indomitable Physical II - Bodies and minds have limits, but some people have the will to push right through those boundaries. For each level of Indomitable, a character receives a +1 increase to an Inherent limit of his choice (Mental, Physical, or Social). He can take up to three levels and can apply them in any way he chooses (+3 to one Inherent Limit, for example; or +2 to one Inherent and +1 to another; or +1 to all three).
Positive
◆ Common Sense - GMs can give hints to the player before something unexpected happens
◆ Perfect Time - +1 dice pool modifier for Performance Tests (timing and rhythm), and additional Free Action during every Action Phase
◆ Shoot First, Don't Ask - Increase your initiative score by the number of total hits rolled on the test (only applies the 1st turn during combat)
◆ Watch The Suit - Prevents Stun Damage except Physical damage (ignores negative modifiers to Etiquette rolls | appearance will look normal)
Negative
◆ Driven - Requires Logic + Willpower (4) without dropping everything. If succeeds, he gains a +1 bonus for his Willpower
◆ SINner (Corporate|Aztechnology) - Pays 10% for his megacorporation
◆ Wanted - Wanted by U.C.A.S. & Lonestar. Active bounty hunters will attempt to intercept him.

In Character Information
"The fall, I don't want to go there. It's the last place I'll remember, but that’s where I’ll always end up anyway. Only, its not me talking to the- fallen angel, but someone who looks part down to the finest detail, excpet he's evil. I'm emerges from the shadows; watching it all unfold levitating in mid-gravity. Falling into a labyrinth hole, I was surrounded by people, and beasts. The darkest place swirls around like a string of ball divided into large fragments moving in opposite directions. Separated in rows like rubix cylinders, the labyrinth hole moves in clockwise, and counterclockwise. And then, I sees a bright-lilly lit beacon of a silhouette of a young woman- with long hair and angel wings. Although my vision was too blurred to see until I got closer. Then the woman speaks, and says: "Max, my sweet precious boy. Come hither, and join me my beloved. We can finally be together forever, and let us transcend you and I.” She's waiting for me. I can clearly see its shadow as my eyes are focused on her. And if something goes wrong, not me, but my double.
He stares at this and smirks like it was the funniest thing he ever heard. Then everyone knew where I was. They turn around to stare at me with cold eyes: "The flesh... The flesh... The flesh... Its coming... Its coming..." . I got closer with a clear picture in my head, but she was not what I thought she was. She had bat-like wings with large pointy ears, non-human. Her large shape-like devil horns in 3 or 4 inches in height. Her bright, yellow lit eyes are open. She spreads apart lifting her arms up as if she's ready to give me a welcome hug. Her sharp claws caught my eye. I knew that moment of where I was going, and I was in it for the long ride. She- was The Flesh, of a Fallen Angel. Then the Oni demon speaks to me calmly, and said: "The Flesh of Fallen Angels." I have no idea what that means... And that's where I always end up screaming. The brightest light shines my skin burning into ashes. Revealing ruined bones. Memories tear apart my soul: consuming an endlessly burning fire. And then, I awakened."
