Okay, I'm not great at chargen, and even less so at Mage chargen, so a burnt out mage should be no problem right. Anyway, he's going to be a back-up character for a game that I'm in, so let me know what you think and if there's anything you recommend that I switch around. Standard Karma generation.

Poterya is an average sized human male. He has medium length black hair and his eyes are pure chrome. He is usually seen wearing a long black trench coat. He is constantly looking over his shoulder and never stays in the same place for too long
== Background ==
Nathan (or Natan in his native tounge) was born on November 2, 2047 in Vyshny Volochyok, Russia. He was a utterly average child, he was the middle child out of seven, and he still isn't sure that his mother could pick him out of a line-up. He did fine in his studies, but again, no one seemed to even notice him. However, things all changed when he "awoke" at the age of 15. People started noticing him, it was mostly the wrong kind of people, but Natan didn't care, they acknowledged that he was there, and to a lonely teenager that was enough. He started running with a street gang, boosting electronics, pedling drugs and general hooliganism. He got busted knocking over a Stuffer Shack and wound up serving 2 years of a 5 year sentence.
While he was in the joint he attracted the attention of the local Vory sindicate, they told him what he needed to hear, they would take care of him and they could arrange for him to learn about these awesome gifts that he had, the street gang was just using him, they were going to let him rot in jail after all, not like the "Family", they'd have him out in no time. So he jumped ship and started working for the Vory. They got him out of the slammer and did treat him well, as long as he did what he was told and didn't ask any questions. They even got him some magical training, Gregori, Natan's "instructor", was batdrek crazy, but he knew his mojo, he taught Natan a few spells and about how to take all the insanity that the sixth world could whip up and mold and shape it into his spells. "Ditya", as the Bratva had taken to calling him, was good at what he did, he could throw lightning bolts and flame throwers with the best of them. He was put on a special hit squad that would take care of "problems" the brotherhood had, and he loved it. Breaking someones kneecaps sent a message, but the message was heard all the more clearly when the guy breaking them did it from across the street, without breaking a sweat. He stayed busy with the enforcers until he was 25, when a few members, including Ditya were asked (read told) to travel to New York to secure the Vory influence in the area.
The crew picked right back up where they left off in Mother Russia, knocking some Mafia operations down a peg and reigning in some of the more obstinate opposition to the Vory's protection services. Natan even got a bit of work done, he wouldn't be average anymore, he was smarter, stronger, and faster now with his new body and he made sure everyone saw it. However, their victories were short lived, the Mafia had it's own goons and they had their own mojo man. There were a few skirmishes at first, with neither side getting the upper hand, but as these things often do, it came down to one night with one group in the wrong place at the wrong time. The Bratva were hunkered down in a small neighborhood just outside of the Barrens and they thought they were relatively safe for the time being. A few of the brothers were playing cards and doing a bit of drinking, Ditya had drawn the first watch of the evening and settled into his spot a top the church tower. It was a pretty quiet evening, even the constant gunfire from the Barrens seemed to be relenting. Then he saw them, they were approaching from the east, roughly 10 or 12 of them came out from behind an abandoned factory, when Ditya turned around to yell to his team it hit him. It was almost like he had no control of his own body, he wanted to yell to his brothers to grab their weapons and get ready for a fight, but what came out was not a warning but a fireball. He fried his team, his friends, his brothers... Their screams still keep him up at night. After Natan pulled free of the spells influence it was too late, they were already dead. It was all a blur after that. He gets flashes at night sometimes, the power that came out of him that day almost killed him, but he was able to get about half of those svolochi before he blacked out.
When he came to about 18 hours later, the place looked like it had been bombed. Buildings lay crumbled to dust, cars were nothing more than smoking craters. He somehow survived the collapse of the church that his group had been holed up in, but none of his team could say the same. How could they, he had killed them before the mat' lokhi even had the chance. He was lost, "Poterya" and had no idea what to do next. He couldn't go back to the Vory, they would know what he had done, and would put him in the ground for it. He was a stranger in a strange land. So he burned the few favors he had left and gathered as much nuyen as he could and headed for Chicago.
Now he's constantly looking over his shoulder, just waiting for the Vory, or the Mafia, or der'mo even the ghosts of his brothers to be there ready to make him pay. Growing up, he had always wanted people to notice him, now he wished he could disappear again.
If you check the chummer sheet you will see that I am over by 1 karma, however chummer won't let me pick a native language, so it's charging me that extra karma point
