The Noll, or Noll (Elf M.Adept - Shaman tradition )
Born in Seattle's slums, the tall and beautiful elf had a lucky life compared to most of the people in the area. Caring parents and an overjoy for life spirit made him grow up into a dreamer. He had the skill to talk with the spirits from his teens, his way of talking and interacting with the few friends he had at that time made him look like a calfree poser from old times, although his love for life and human relationships was genuine.
Noll believed he could make a change to this world, that doing something good would eventually bring more good. When he started to fully develope his awakaned powers, he dedicated his life to magically heal and support everyone that needed it, for free. The way he sustained himself was through free donations and occasional jobs. It was during this time that he meet the love of his life, a beautiful human woman by the name of Rebecca that shared with him the same idea of "help the world, change the world".
They shared a beautiful life, they had nothing, but they had everything. They arranged their house in a "state of the art" roulottes from the '20s. It was soon after that they had their first child: Angie. Everything was perfect, their simple life was a dream.
Or at least they thought so, but life in the 6th world can be unpredictable. And their happy life ended the day a group of humanis decided to punish them for being a filty human + metahuman couple. Rebecca was killed in an attempt to protect Angie, eventually a local gang whose leader was recently healed by them stormed in to scatter the humanis, but it was too late for Rebecca.
Noll's view of life changed drastically, his joyful, helping everyone, making a better world way of thinking ended in one night. He retired from the voluntering and replaced his woman with a bad alcol habit. He also had to take care of Angie, being still 8, and the few newyen he saved until then were easily depleted.
He understood that one can't protect his loved ones being an hippiehead, he would need enough money to guarantee a better life for his daughter. His awakened powers would be better employed to make some money, and a friend of his, a guy that he healed some months prior, thought Noll could become a shadowrunner...
This is how it all started.
