Norse Magician Adept

Playing a Norse Magician Adept

    The Norse Magician Adept began his life as a fledgling physical adept.  When his powers were discovered by his wealthy parents, they enrolled him in a physical adept school.  During his time at the school he was enrolled in a class on the history of warrior myths with an emphasis on Norse mythology. While he was taking this class he began to have odd dreams.  In these dreams he would see a variety of Norse gods from Loki to Thor to Freya.  They called to him and promised him power beyond his wildest dreams if he would follow them.   The dreams seemed unusually vivid but eventually he convinced himself that they had no meaning. 

    This all changed, however, when during a martial arts class he reflexively summoned a spirit to ward off his sparing partner. The mage who ran the school saw this and quickly realized that he was not a physical adept at all. Instead, he was a magician who had devoted some of his efforts internally and thus exhibited physical adept powers.  The young magician felt that this was the great power the gods had promised him.  Thereafter he came to except his connection to the Norse pantheon. Unfortunately, the radical mood swings that his fluctuating pantheistic alignments caused forced the school to expel him. 

    Too ashamed to face his parents, he fled the school.  After he wandered the streets for a short period of time he was lucky enough to be taken in by a kindly street shaman who gradually adapted to the young magicians changes.  While with the street shaman, he learned more about his powers and eventually became a relatively proficient magician. 

    As he aged the Norse Magician Adept got a job as a wage mage but was fired and blacklisted after he extorted money from the corporation. (His defense that he just happened to be aligned with Loki at the time did not play well with the review board.)  Unable to get a corporate job, he began to work as a shadowrunner.  The type of job that he takes depends on his alignment at the time.  If he is aligned with Loki he prefers subtle espionage type runs; if he is aligned with Thor he prefers quasi-mercenary runs that allow him to smash lots of things, etc.  Likewise, his personality varies dramatically depending on his alignment.
