Player1

Player1 is a Acanthus Free Council from Chicago, Illinois.

Overview

Quote: "Dude - we're definitely gonna need a power-up for this - have you seen the size of those guys?"

Christopher Yan grew up in inner-city Chicago, attending school where a young Asian American kid either has to belong to the right group or keep his mouth shut. Chris picked the latter, keeping to himself and preferring the company of a video game controller to that of other people any day.

He's only 18, and hasn't graduated from high school yet. His parents don't know, of course, that a year ago he Awakened and has been exploring other facets of reality from his bedroom at night. Fortunately, he is bussed far enough to school that his home life is one of quiet comfort most of the time. His parents both have well-paying jobs that keep them occupied, and he has top-of-the-line computer equipment and game consoles to fill his time when he's not at school.

He was contacted, like most of the other members of Open Source, by Laplace on the Internet one night while trying to sort out what his Awakened mind was beginning to reveal, and was eager to delve deeper into the mysteries he was told about. Over the last several months, Laplave has taught Chris a lot about the new abilities he's discovered, and has encouraged him to focus on the things he already excels in. When Open Source needs a quick thinker who can figure out a way around a puzzling challenge, they call upon their resident gamer.

Chris can count on his hands the number of times he's met the other members of his cabal in person, but they keep in touch via the Internet constantly. He has no trouble keeping the secrets he's learning; keeping to himself is second nature. While the others may be better at bypassing security, none of them is as quick to deduce a conclusion from stacks of data as Yan. Laplace uses Chris as a point man on a lot of their less-dangerous endeavors. Player1 is the youngest member of the cabal, and their leader wants him to live long enough to become the powerful mage he has the potential to become.

Description

Player1, at 18, is the youngest member of the cabal. He's an attractive, young Asian American with shoulder-length black hair and deep brown eyes that sparkle with intelligence beyond his years. He dresses like a typical teenage, and most of his T-shirts display sayings and logos that have something to do with computers or video games.

His Nimbus is a surge of energy, like the rush of a great idea, combined with the sound of a powering generator or camera flash.
