20 Questions
1. What is the Character’s sex?
Male
2. What is the character’s physical size?
Past slender and into gaunt territory, Uffington is past 195 cm, but he's all skin and bones.
3. What is the color of the character’s hair, eyes, and skin?
Very fair complexioned, with a shock of almost white blond hair. His facial hair is ruddy, red, and comes in patches. His eyes are a steely gray.
4. What is the character’s general appearance?
He holds fairly close to neo-primitivist fashion. He has a number of Celtic tattoos, including a torq around his neck, braces on his arms, and a pair of Uffington horses on his chest facing inward. He has a large bulbous nose, making him less attractive than most elves, and his hair which is longer in front than in the back is a bit stringy. He usually keeps it tucked behind his very prominent ears, which are lined in a row of piercings.
5. Where was the character born?
Puyallup Barrens.
6. What is the character’s age?
25
7. What was the character’s family?
His parents were full-grown and new parents themselves during the Night of Rage. Their child, a daughter named Chryssal died in the troubles, and Sam and Abigail waited many years before having more children, an older brother named Trim was born in 2047, and Aiden followed in 2051. Aiden has never known money. He was born and raised in Puyallup, while his dad usually worked odd jobs when he could find them, while his mom had a somewhat steady gig working at a sweat shop that was a front for some corp or another. Aiden's older brother Trim took to gang life in his middle teens and died before hitting twenty.
8. Has the character begun his own family?
Ya know, that might be in the cards one day, if Uffington can ever get out from underneath the boot heels enough to breath for a moment or two, then yeah, he could see himself finding a nice little elf girl, settle down, and do the kids thing. But right now he's hungry, and the girls he's interested in are rarely interested in return.
9. Where or how was the character educated?
Uffington had rather little raw talent for schooling, especially in any of the hard sciences. What he did have was a boundless curiosity and a father who supported his son's thirst for knowledge, most likely it would stop him from getting into too much trouble later on. On Uffington's thirteenth birthday, the family sprung on a Metalink for him, which really opened up whole new worlds for him. When he Awakened at fourteen, Sam was convinced that Aiden would be the one to get out of the barrens, trying to get him a scholarship to one of Evo's feeder schools. Aiden couldn't pass the IQ tests, though, and learned most of his magic knowledge from a kindly old dwarf named Riley who owned a talismonger shop a few blocks from the crime mall. Again, Sam was convinced that Aiden would show enough promise to be noticed, and at the very least be employed by one of the local corps. Instead, he was noticed by the Laésa.
10. Has the character ever done anything else for a living?
Uffington wouldn't be able to tell you much about it even if he wanted to -- and he doesn't -- but Uffington spent a little bit of time in his late teens and early twenties with the Laésa. He never moved up as a Laésasa, having a more narrow set of talents than what they needed for solo operatives, and his naturally curious nature put him at odds with the group's main selling point for potential clients. Besides, Uffington took too kindly a view on the Ancients, who were in direct competition with the Laésa. At the end of the day, Uffington had his Seattle privileges revoked, and he saw no future for himself in the Tir.
While he couldn't tell you the nature of the work, Uffington had been to San Francisco a number of times, and had made some friends there after the laes had worn off, so the California Free State seemed like the best place to land, at least temporarily.
11. What about the character’s political and religious beliefs?
Uffington has long bought into the image of the noble elf following the old ways. Religiously he is very devote, though his political views are more nuanced. He's seen the blatant corruption and ignoble behavior of the Tir Tairngire, and has seen how the protectors of elven kind, the Laésa, have abandoned that charge. While he may have an idealized picture in his mind about Tír na nÓg, he's really come to see politics themselves as being corrupting, and he's just fine leaving those games to the politicians. Still, he's involved in metahuman rights, or was until he started taking to the shadows in earnest.
12. What is the character’s moral code?
In Druidism there is a concept: An Fhírinne aghaidh an tSoail, the truth against the world. It is important not to let the brutal dystopian moral wastes of the sixth world infect and grind down the individual. Instead, Uffington believes that it is his moral obligation to stand tall against what seems pernicious, and live in a certain kind of harmony with nature. You've got to get out of your head, though, the notion that nature is all fields and the soft warmth of the sun on your back. Nature is about the hunt, the raw terror of the beasts and the waves, earthquakes, and volcanoes, death and rebirth. Life is sacred, yes, but so is taking life.
13. Does the character have any goals?
So far Uffington has had rather scarce possibilities for his life. He'd like to open up the field more, and he knows that in order to do so he'll need money. From a purely mercenarial point of view, he'd like to make that money, become more powerful, and make even more money. He figures that he'll probably die in those endeavors -- and he's made peace with that -- but should he survive and make a little nest egg, he'd like to return to Tir Tairngire or maybe Tír na nÓg with a brand new SIN and a hunk of cash to settle down and start a family.
14. Why does the character run the shadows?
It pays better than the sweatshops, and he believes it to be one of the few lines of work open to him where he has any agency.
15. What is the character’s personality?
Uffington finds people fascinating. What they do, why they do what they do, what their beliefs are, how they think they'll best get ahead, how the way they speak betrays their biases and desires, this all interests him endlessly, even if he takes a rather dim view of metahumanity in general. He can be witty, if a bit abrasive, and often asks the wrong questions to the wrong people. He in incredibly trustworthy, though, believing his word to be his bond, and feeling as though he is a representative for his kind (both elven and druid) when he interacts with outsiders.
16. What special qualities does the character possess?
He's a gifted magician, who takes great interest in the spirits whom he summons. His Mentor Spirit, the Stag, demands that his behavior remain upright, and that he conduct himself with a certain amount of nobility -- not a hard request on an elf.
17. Are there certain things the character just cannot do?
Advanced Calc, running long distances, not relying heavily on his magic to get him through. He will not desecrate or destroy what few natural areas remain.
18. What does the character hate?
Hermetic magicians, elves who sell-out elves or otherwise fail to live up to his standards, but really hate is a rather misplaced emotion. Uffington believes that usually when someone says, "hate," they mean, "fear," and that gives those who you find yourself in opposition to too much power over you.
19. What does the character love?
Sunrises on holy days, metas whom he can trust, his parents.
