## Background

Cyrus Boyd was a normal kid in LA until he realized that his imaginary boar friend was not so imaginary after all. Going on the run to get more in touch with his powers, he drifted around the Cali Free State and the Pacific Northwest learning from any and all Awakened he could find, never settling into a tradition. Cyrus embraced the freedom of Chaos Magic like a street musician embraces the real folk blues. Magic is a thing you feel, do, and share with others; not study or worship. Spirits are friends you call on, not slaves you bind to your will.

Cyrus lived a carefree life taking odd jobs and exploring the Astral World until he got involved in the event that came to be known as the Night Of Mysteries, about 3 years ago. Some Real Bad People had started a Lodge to Shadow Spirits, looking to corrupt the background of the city of Seattle like a cancer infects a host. Cyrus walked in as a (metaphorical) Boy- a child playing with spells- and walked out as a Man- the master of his abilities. He had saved the city, stopped a dark cult, and all it got him was two bullets in his side and a big target on his back. The shadow entity he calls "the Dullahan" has been pursuing Cyrus ever since.

Cyrus is new to Shadowrunning and having a Nom de Guerre. Originally using the nickname Candy as a joke about his appearance and dislike of physical work, one tweaked out ganger tried to make a name for himself by taking out "that candy boy mage". Cyrus stopped the ganger's heart with a single hit of his most powerful spell, ***Death Touch***. From that day forward, Candy Boy was the name on the streets when it came to magic and mischief.

Candy Boy favors Illusion spells and summoning Spirits. He grossly abuses the ***Fashion*** to adopt a new garishly eye catching outfit everyday, and changes hair color, make up, and jewelry almost as frequently. It is very easy to find him, which is both his best quality and worst weakness.

Candy Boy can be found at the Awakened-Only club *Omega* more often than not, and he's in good with the dwarf owner/mage fixer Griigus. Otherwise you can find him squatting at the Blue Pine Motel, which is the home base for the mostly orc gang Blue Skins, and their leader, Crusher. Candy Boy isn't a gang member per se, but he patches them up with healing magic or drops a mask spell here and there, and in turn they don't break his knees. Its a good arrangement.
