Stormwarden (3pt),
Common Sense (1pt),
Laham (7pt)
Spirit Sight (4pt)
Spirit Magnet (4pt)
Manifest Avatar (3pt) : Wolf or human
Burning Aura (1pt) linked to Laham
Fetish - Titulus - Mechanically, the Fetish provides -2 diff reduction to all Occult and Belief rolls, once activated with 1s with Spirit 2.
Natural Channel - Your mage is a natural weak point in the Gauntlet between worlds. The difficulty to use magic to pierce it is one less, and spirits react a bit more favorably to the mage. If your mage finds an especially weak spot in the Gauntlet (with Awareness or Spirit 1), he can step between worlds without magic.

 

Flaws:
Sphere Inept(5 pt): His Avatar wants him to master Magick but not that, he has enough mundane abilities he doesn't actually know it,
Poor Eyesight (1pt)
Short (3pt) linked to Laham
Echoes (2pt): bigger shadow, scare cats.
Uncanny (3pt)
Curiosity (2pt)
Advantage (Laham):
Armor 2: 2 extra soak dice when it's bashing/lethal or 1 extra soak die for agg

Description

Physical Description:
Green eyes that sparkle like emeralds, a complete contrast to his otherwise bland choice of clothes, he looks like he should still be in high-school leading to troubles when he does not have his journalist pass or identification. He holds a youthful appearance despite being in his mid twenties. His hair is a auburn color, he wears it mostly short except for his bangs.
Backstory:
Sean was born in Callhan, Florida, with only his mother raising him. He doesn't know anything about his father since his mother doesn't speak of it. He grew up, exploring with the kids of the small town like the abandoned , 4story high-school building, or the desolate buildings and churches. Though something always happened when he was around, vases smashed, whispers were heard. It led to the kids wanting him to come along until one time they went a kid was hurt by... something. No one was sure what happened, but it made people fearful of Sean since the kids all pointed the fingers at him to not get in trouble with their parents. So everyone avoided him from that point on. Sean was ostracized and usually came to school to see that his school stuff was strewn about or the deask was decorated with insults. He refused to let this break him, he rationalized it as having no time to waste on those who couldn't or wouldn't understand what had happened to the kid. He would explore the town searching for signs of what could have happened while researching myths (Though he would read about them for fun anyways) and legends about the place. He would take his trusty camera, and go exploring around, snapping pictures. Strange things would still occur whenever he went, but beyond the basics of knowing that(Thinking that) they were ghosts, he was getting nowhere fast. Where was his mother in this? She was... extremely lax. She didn't care about Sean, so she never checked in with him unless she got a call from the school over him skipping It was up to himself to take care. he finally graduated from high school and was subsequently kicked out by his mother. So he made his way through college for his degree while working hard to support it. He got a degree in journalism at a small community college. He had also found a job, as a small-time journalist. During one of these jobs, he saw the scene that would change everything for him. It's still fuzzy, but he knows what he saw. A werewolf, saving this man who after being saved went with him. It was mind blowing for him. But he accpeted it. After all, if ghosts could exist, then why couldn't werewolves, and if that was so, why couldn't many other things? The connections continued to spread outwards like an infinite spiderweb as thought about it more. If it wasn't for the the giant, literal, metaphysical wolf saying the right things, he might have gone crazy This wolf was his Avatar so he learded, he wondered if the whole perception was due to the werewolf saving that man, but supposed that it didn't matter as heroes come in shapes sizes, and with or without fur. The Wolf wasn't quite what he expected... he was made completely out of water his appearence made him think of how the free-flowing water was, it was constantly flowing free as if at the center was a raging wind pushing forth, though contary to his free-looking form, he comes off as being selfish and whenver they did talk, he encouraged him to follow through with his own selfish desires, to try new things and usually for his own pleasure. Though the constant innuendoes about sex or other vulgar things was annoying and embarassing. Though with how arrogant he acted, it could annoy him, especially with how selfish he was trying to have Sean be, but it was nice to know that there was someone in his corner who care about him. And it helped to have someone to talk to, as he saw spirits everywhere. It was almost painful with how he had to deal with every ghost come up to him for one reason or another while he was in public. They flocked to him like moths. He got relocated for his job (probably to move him off of their staff since the strange incidents were still happening around him), to Jacksonville His new life begins here.
