Character Information

Summary

An itinerant banshee from Tír na nÓg, recently awoken from a two-decade torpor and seeking a place in the new world he finds himself in.

Goals

• Continue to survive at all costs. Everything else is secondary.
• Acquire a mobile home and a stable supply of blood for living purposes.
• Face the Dweller at the Threshold and initiate into the higher mysteries.

Background

Born in Belfast in 2012. One of the first nocturna, he was abandoned and disowned by his family as a freak and remanded to the custody of the Xavier Foundation; while growing up in an orphanage lead to constant ostracism and a lifelong antipathy towards people in general, he was lucky enough to survive the aftermath of the Black Tide and VITAS, as well as the chaos following the Awakening and the Irish Reformation, when most of those around him did not. In 2032 following the closure of the Foundation he was living on the streets of Dublin when he was was stalked and attacked by a banshee - the creature drank of his blood and took something even more vital from him, and the bite it inflicted got infected... when he awoke - physically and magically speaking - he had changed into something else.

After enduring a painful metamorphosis into a banshee himself, he left the nascent elfnostate his homeland was becoming and spent several decades aimlessly wandering Europe among the Irish Travelers and Romani people, feeding off the carnage and death left in the wake of the Euro Wars and seeking out a cure for his condition. As metahumanity began to learn more about HMHVV it became clear that a cure was not forthcoming, so he had no choice but to slowly accept himself as the monster he had become, eventually beginning to see himself as a cut above mundane metahumanity and even other Awakened and Infected.

Eventually in the early 2060s he finally bit off more than he could chew when he attempted to settle the score with his sire and ended up falling into torpor for over 20 years, waking nearly two decades after Crash 2.0 to an entirely new world. The virus had mutated while he slept, and his hunger had grown into something primal and savage. The political landscape of the continent had changed as well, and all of his old contacts were either dead or out of reach, so he decided a change of scenery was in order. Moving to North America, he stayed for a while in Tír Tairngire but found it was not to his liking, so he spent the last of his savings getting himself smuggled north to the Seattle Metroplex with little more than the clothes on his back.

Narrative Significant Qualities

Positive

• Infected (Banshee)
  • It only takes one drop of HMHVV-infected blood to change one's life forever...
    • Oberon keeps his Infected status a secret - only a few people currently alive are aware of it: Agamemnon, Fiendest, Gehenna, Kadō, Neznayka, The Green-Eyed Witch

• Mentor Spirit (Raven)
  • An incarnation of his darker self, urging him to exploit the misfortune of others and take advantage of opportunities which present themselves.
    • Appears as a white bird on his shoulder, whispering into his ear.

• Dedicated Spellslinger
  • A practiced sorcerer who focuses on spellcraft to the exclusion of conjuration and enchanting.
    • Due to the precepts of his tradition, he does not cast health spells.

• Catlike + Double Jointed
  • Rather adept at getting into places, whether he's invited or not.

Negative

• Albinism + Unusual Hair (Colored Fur)
  • A rather noteworthy combination of features that renders one inconveniently distinctive and memorable (plus it's a pain to keep clean).

• Antipathy + Superhuman Psychosis
  • A lifelong resentment of "normal" people only festered into hatred and loathing after becoming something apart from the common rabble of metahumanity.

• Computer Illiterate + Gremlins
  • Sleeping through Crash 2.0 and the rise of Augmented Reality can leave one feeling a more than a bit behind the times with regards to technology.

• Signature
  • Tends to leave behind the image of a white bird (origami, graffiti, sketch art, etc.) at the scene of heists and murders he commits.
