The jobs that Kor takes are usually one's that he generates himself, or
friends who know me bring to me.

I've thought about this a lot over the years that I have been on the
list and every time I get bogged down, I stop thining about it.

When I first started running Kor on paper, he didnt know enough to
wear anything that looked like a mask or anything like that. He
kept himself as he was and went on jobs because a) it was all he knew,
and b) he needed the money. After the ordeal of getting his identiry
back and avenging his fallen team members, he was left a little empty
and unsure of what to do. He has his SIN back. It was broken, but
it was his. Credit rating intact, but his history as to where he had worked
for the last couple of years was gone. He tried to get real jobs and failed
so he stuck with the shadows. Finally he got a break for himself when
LSS hired him. He worked there and was happy but needed the adrenal flow.
He went back to being Kor, changed his features and started building on his
previous reputation in the streets as being a decent utility mage.

When I joined the list, I thought it better to have Jason not carry a magical
aura around all the time, and let Kor deal with what needs to go on runs.

Magically regrowing my hair is nothing. I cut it off before runs. Magically
changing my pigmentation from a more native american skin tone, to something
more asian wasnt hard either. And it doesnt have a magical residue. Aura
masking is something I ALWAYS have up. Jason doesnt feel that people should
peek without asking, and only your best friends should ever ask.

A couple of people on the list HAVE figured out that Kor is Jason. A set of
people that I told directly, everyone that works for Serenity thats above
Cadet, Nomad (Neuron Basher's brother), The Dragon (I've forgotten his
name) and its possible that I've told AJ just incase I get dragged into
his operating room. I dont think its that hard to envision being able
to do it. Kor is a damned good mage. If people dont want to deal with
the way I do meetings, then they dont want to hire me. Its not like I am
hurting for money any more (I own IS&M AND Serenity). I do mostly humanitarian
jobs, and I do them for little to nothing when it comes to pay.
