# Character Information

### Summary

His PhT program is now far behind him, but he remains an academic at heart, compiling whatever information he can find as he goes on the datachips he stockpiles. He prefers to stay on the back lines, as he is, to be blunt, too old for this shit, and he sees himself as more valuable for his knowlege than his spell-slinging (that said, he will happily deploy spirits to do the heavy lifting).

### Goals

* Reconnect with at least a fragment of the being that saved him

* Write something that will stand the test of time

* Understand the true nature of magic and the metaplanes

## Background

James was born into a family of tremendous wealth and privilege, the son of two full mages and the heir to a small (but extremely profitable) magical research company. His family payed enormous sums to engineer the perfect successor, creating identical quadruplets to maximize their chances of having at least one Awakened child, and when James was oneo of the two who did, he was put through the best education money could buy. He studied magic day in and day out, seeking to understand the foundations of the family trade, and found himself drawn to the budding tradition of Planar Magic.

He was at Seattle University pursuing a PhT when the rift formed downtown, and, in attempt to outshine his brother and write a discertation that would guarantee him control of the company when he presented it, James broke past the quarantine and crossed through the rift bodily with the help of an extraplanar entity he found and bargained with, only to be betrayed on the other side and stranded in the deep metaplanes, trapped and alone, only to be saved by a benevolent entity, some fragment of a being greater than he could possibly comprehend, which led him to safer climates. He wandered for subjective decades, staying for years at a time in the company of creatures whose shapes were impossible on this reality and in the courts of alien nobles to whom time means nothing, eternally searching for a way back home. He did write his thesis in the end, many times over, first on the e-paper and datachips he brought to take notes, and when those failed, on whatever passed for paper where he was at the time, learning about the metaplanes, and the paths between them, and the creatures that called them home. When he was truly lost, the being that saved him, his guardian angel, would appear to him again, an Avatar Spirit that showed him the way back.

After decades in the lands beyond reality, James finally found the way back to our plane, by means of the Yellowstone portal, which he accessed through the Seelie Court, only to find that a mere month had passed. Time, it seems, had bent around him, and he was delighted to learn that his parents were still alive. However, when he tried to contact them, he didn't meet the warm welcome he was hoping for. Returning as a man older than his own father, he was no longer the vibrant young heir his family had wanted. He was offered the chance to return to the fold as a researcher, taking on a new identity to keep the company from being held liable for his crimes, but he turned it down when he realized that his family, always an overcompetitive nest of vipers, would never understand him now. They were corporate brats, scheming and sniping at each other over fractions of percentage points, and now even his father looked like a sheltered child, too insulated from reality to be able to grasp its true nature. He decided that there was nothing for him there, and left the family that night, returning to the place that started it all.

The next day, he reached out to an old family friend, a shady type with ties to the world of illegal animal smuggling, and began his descent into the shadows.
