CHARACTER
Phantasm
M-02
----------
Archtype: Male Human Hermetic Mage
Description:
Phantasm is an older gentleman who often wears grey suits with
a bright touch of color somewhere- whether it is in the tie, a lapell
pin, etc. (In many was he looks like the Street Mage archtype). Phantasm
always wearas a monocle that seems to be refracting the light just enough
to produce a rainbow hue across the lense. His walking stick is old and
hand carved- if questioned he will mumble something about it being a
gift from "the crazy loon who started this whole mess off!", thought this
rumour cannot be pinned down any further, nor can it be substantiated.
Biography:
Phantasm is an older street mage. Never one to put his life on
the line, he has only helped many shadowrunners after their missions were
accomplished. He has made his living by helping the Renton community in
which he lives. He has been known to aid those in serious trouble- the
most recent being a man struct by a car was brought back to life through
ancient arcane lore, powerful magical items, and sheer force of will.
Phantasm has devoted his life to the training of young magicians and is
always willing to help a young wiz kid or wandering shaman for the right
price. This right price varies from a simple favour, to cooking him dinner,
but always includes a voluntary assensing- he always looks to the true
intentions and personality of those he could train. Phantasm has accumulated
a rather extensive library that varies in rating. In his chosen field,
Illusions, it is a respectable rating; in the field of Combat there is
practically nothing but Stun based spells and Power spells vs non-living.
He will let any of his students use this library as long as they contribute
to it somehow...
