Character Information

Summary

A subtle and discrete street-mage, who prefers to finesse his way past obstacles rather than blast a path of destruction wide enough for even a blood-blind Wolverines' corp-cop to follow. He dresses with the old adage "geek-the-mage" in mind. With his strong build, military style bearing and street-samurai threads, he's the last person anyone would assume to be a spell-slinging mage. Or so he hopes.

Goals

Stay Alive. Become an Initiate. Get Rich. Stay Alive. And Keep the Fireworks to a Minimum.

Background

One of the youngest children of a Templar in service to the Lord Protector of the United Kingdom, Mush's father sought asylum for himself and his three litters of children following the Lord Protector's defeat at the hands of the Pendragon. With little more than the clothes on his back and his arcane skills, Mush's father supported his brood by running the Shadow's of Manhatten until the night he, predictably, left on a 'run and never came home.

Mush's own mother worked two, sometimes three jobs at a time to raise the large family on her own, leaving little time for familial niceties. Mush was largely raised by his older sisters, who, also predictably, soon fell in with the local gang scene in the district of Queens where they lived. Mush, as SINless as anyone in his family, was unable to access public education and instead educated largely by the local community until the day his mother spotted an advertisement on the local matrix concerning a Black Magician looking for students.

Juliette Burma made it clear she was looking for clients, rather than dependents. Wealthy clients. But Mush's mother pulled what few strings she had in the Ork community and manages to gain the Black Magician's attention long enough to introduce her son as a potential "indentured servant." Tickled by the idea of her own Orkish slave, Juliette accepted the ten year old (and therefore young adult) ork into her "inner circle" of narcissists, sociopaths and psychotics. Mush doesn't often think of the torments  -physical and psychological- he endured at the hands of that little coven of rich hedonists, but he remains grateful for the life lessons imparted to him there. Indeed, Mush soon took on all manner of "odd-jobs" in the Shadows and at Juliette's home in order to pay his way for his tuition, all the more so as he grew older. Until, one night, the heat in Manhattan became just a little too much to cope with.

Juliette suggested a little working-vacation in Seattle. And so, armed with a couple of names from Juliette's infamous little black book, Mush finds himself in the most shadowed city in North America. Friendless, and looking for work.

Appearance

Clothing

A short, well-groomed orc with slicked back hair shaved close to the scalp at the sides. He avoids wearing anything that might obvoiusly mark him as a mage, and instead favours pseudo-street-medieval and street-combat styling in his day to day clothing. He does, however, make a point of dressing for the occasion even if his clothes have an "off-the-rack" look made all the more evident by how his shirts and jackets barely stretch to accomodate his wide shoulders. His neatty trimmed beadr is barely long enough to qualify as more than stubble, and is a slightly lighter, more reddish shade of brown that the hair upon his head. Given his slightly angled ears, intense gaze, toned muscles and well defined jaw, Mush is lucky enough to find himself relatively attractive by the standards of almost all the common metatypes.

Mush is remarkably well spoken given his short tusks, which still mildly affect his speech and tone despite their modest, discrete size. He's been plagued in the past by accusations that he trims his tusks to keep them deliberately small and subtle, yet a closer look reveals they are well kept and polished almost to a gleam.

Matrix Persona

A pile of green goop with a huge mouth and two beady eyes modelled on the "Schlock Mercenary" character from the late 20th century. Carries a menacing, over-sized plasma cannon that emits an even more menacing "ThrrrrruuuuuuMMMMM" noise when activated.
