Imagine, if you will, a bright street kid. With a bright future. Picked up by the corp with the most heart, Negatech. Here, we care about

employees. Here, we just... care.

Keldon Forrest grew up a small-town kid with a job as a photographer in the slums of a small city in Canada, picked up by a small corp after

blowing up at a teacher during graduation- quite literally. Trained by one of the corps' handful of mages, the boy had talent, skil, and a

great yearning for learning.
Then they decided 'hey, toss the kid in a room with a bunch of our new fast-acting chemical summoning reagents and see what he can conjure

up!'
Suffice to say, it didn't go well- and they weren't about to lose a fresh cadet among their magicians. Some nuyen later, they had him in one

piece- sort of. He didn't exactly feel too fulfilled, too whole working for them anymore, though.
Fortunately, they'd trained him rather well, and he had a few friends still on the outside- in the shadowrunning business, in fact. A few

short weeks later, he was on his way- with none the wiser, thanks to a very carefully laid batch of those very same chemical reagents.

He's run a long time to get clear, picking up a few tricks on the street as he went, but he's thinking it might now be time to settle down.

Personality-
Sarcastic, annoying, a bit pompous. Why? Because he's had his ARM BLOWN OFF, as well as a good portion of his essence. He's still got a sense

of humor, though, even if it is a bit cruel.
He's also just a bit of a coward.

Random notes-
LOVES his caffiene. Will KILL A MAN for his morning coffee.

Prefers stealth to combat. Or alternatively, any job where he doesn't get shot at.
He's no shadowrunner, really- not yet. But he's got a good mind and learns fast. And knows how to hide, that's important!
Doesn't like using his magic for the small stuff anymore- it doesn't always 'feel right'.
Rather likes cats. No real reason why. Though he -does- spend a disturbing amount of time in cat form.
