Background
Son of Badr al-Din Ibn Eisa, Shahbaz found his Awakening early on in life, going to the island of Bahrain for arcane training. The island was one of the five madrassas where magicians underwent rigorous education, so Shahbaz's childhood was one of discipline, piety and practice. During his early years, however, he heard rumors of dissent and conflict out in the world, mostly stifled by the mentors he obediently heeded. When word came that his father had been exposed as a foul demon, attempting to kill the caliph Ibn Saud, the mentors knew it was only a matter of time until retaliation was sought through his family. Shahbaz never found out what happened to his mother, but the mentors opened a way for him to escape the country, never to see his home region of Qatif again.
That was in 2064.
Shahbaz has made some progress in his practice, finding potent ability in his latent arcane power to finesse problems and stay peaceful as per his faith -- many a day his mind wanders to his father's desecrated corpse, puppeteered by a demon in the darkness. Shahbaz has made many efforts to distance himself from his father. False aliases, taking up more modern fashion styles, even converting to Shi'a from his father's Sunni roots, but no matter what he does, he feels unsafe knowing that somewhere out there could be those that haven't forgotten his existence.
Goals
- Find enlightenment through Islamic Alchemy practices and transformation of the soul.
- Continue to explore the fantastic depths of fashion; high fashion armor, fashion shows, meeting designers!
- Find if his mom is still alive, whether in Qatif or somewhere else.
- Contemplate contacting his old teachers in Bahrain.
- Stabilize economically.
Qualities
- Running from the Past (National SINner: Shahbaz ibn Eisa, Big Regret, Mild Phobia: Shedim) - Native to the Arabian Caliphate, Shahbaz hides his connection to his infamous father to the best of his ability.
- Talented (College Education, Inspired Artisan, Exceptional Attribute: Magic) - Shahbaz has a knack for calligraphy and alchemy, a sharp eye for precise movements and measured fine motor control.
- Artificially Induced Psychotropic Schizophrenia (AIPS) - A drawback of his Awakening was making him particularly sensitive to spam zones. His mind feels abuzz when wandering in Downtown and quickly causes disorientation.
