Character Information

Summary

Being a young woman with a delicate build, long black hair and pale skin, not many people would look at Aeon and peg her for who she is; a military veteran who served two tours in the Desert Wars for a Megacorporation.

Her appearance belies the truth, however; Aeon is a powerful Awakened Magician, and she can hold her own with an automatic weapon as well as most infantrymen.

Goals

Background

Brianna Rose was born in the Seattle sprawl to mixed UCAS-Salish parents. She had an uneventful Tacoma childhood until early adolescence, when she discovered she was Awakened; suddenly, her family were beset almost every waking moment by commcalls and emails advocating for magical scholarships and tutoring programs. Since the Rose family were not particularly wealthy, and were hesitant to commit their child to any kind of corporate career at such a young age, Brianna was not immediately enrolled in any academic programs for Awakened children. Instead, she browsed online Matrix programs, learning small bits and pieces about various traditions, until she stumbled across a number of talk shows and podcasts featuring proponents of the Psionic tradition, some of whom offered free introductory lessons and primers for the newly Awakened. Brianna was captivated by the attempts to strip away old world superstitions and mysticism from 'magic', and devoured all she could on the subject. When the time came for her to graduate high school and attend university, she accepted a scholarship from Shiawase that allowed her to travel to France (the country with the largest concentration of Psionic Awakened in the world) to study at the University of Paris.

After graduating U-Paris, Brianna joined the Shiawase subsidiary Desert Storm Security, and took part in the Desert Wars competition. Some of her primary duties included hunting down and disrupting enemy spirits, working as a spotter for ritual spells and supporting units on the ground by defending them from hostile magic. She distinguished herself well, and volunteered for a second deployment. Her repeat tour however, took a much darker turn. She lost several friends in the 'non-lethal' opening phase of the season, which lit a fire underneath her to detsroy her competitors by any means necessary. Towards the end of the Desert Challenge Brianna deviated from her mission orders to go hunting a handful of Ares officers whom had been responsible for killing her friends.

The incident caused a massive scandal. While accidental deaths were an unavoidable by-product of the competition, Brianna's actions were by contrast obviously deliberate. She was charged with several cases of murder, and was on the brink of being sentenced to imprisonment when it came to light that the Ares officers in question had recorded videos and commcalls to each other prior to the season's start discussing how they planned to kill off some of their competitors, and how easily they could get away with it. The calls and videos painted a picture of a group of sociopathic killers, looking to take advantage of the chaos to indulge their own bloodlust. The Desert Wars commission, wanting to bury the scandal as fast and as quietly as possible, released everyone involved and scrubbed all of the evidence and video in an attempt to sweep it all under the rug. Brianna wasn't charged with murder and never served time in prison, but for her disobedience she was dishonourably discharged and had her Corporate SIN replaced with a Criminal SIN.

After managing to return home to Seattle, Brianna struggled to find legitimate employment. She eventually turned to odd jobs serving as a small time troubleshooter on the streets. Each job was followed by a bigger job, and she soon found herself working as a Shadowrunner for a professional Fixer, who was even able to have her SIN expunged. Eventually, he put in a good word for her, and one day she woke up to find she'd been granted access to the ShadowHaven Host.

Narrative Significant Qualities

Positive

  • Magician: Aeon is a mage (though she dislikes the term) of the Psionic tradition. To her, everything people consider to be magical in nature, is merely the product of powerful, evolved minds.

Negative

  • Bad Rep: Aeon was embroiled in a legal scandal during her participation in the Desert Wars, one of the biggest business sports in the entire world (potentially *the* biggest), when she murdered several of her competitiors. Although the commission attempted to cover the incident up, any fan of the sport who looks deeply enough into it could find out what happened.
  • Flashbacks: When Aeon interacts in any way with the Astral Plane (such as assensing or projecting) or with Spirits, she hears (what surely must be) auditory hallucinations of voices. Usually these take the form of quiet whispers that she can ignore, at least with some concentration on her part. Sometimes however, these voices are much more oppressive, manifesting as an overwhelming cacophany that drowns out everything else around her.
  • Prejudiced (Specific, Biased)(Non-Psionic Awakened): Due to her Tradition's perspective of magic as being a purely mental power, detached from religious mysticism or old-world occultism, Aeon can't help but dislike people who follow other traditions.
  • Records On File (Shiawase): As a former citizen, and member of a Shiawase subsidiary, the megacorp still possesses accurate information on her, even though her SIN has now been deleted.
  • Spirit Bane (Fire Spirits): Aeon has disrupted no small number of Fire spirits in her time, both as a megacorp soldier and a street mage. Fire spirits can read this history in her aura, and won't hesitate to attack her when they come into close contact with her.
