Personal Information
Appearance
Standing quite tall and solidly built it is surprising he doesn't have more of a presence than he does. He wears loose grey clothes that are asymmetrical when operating as an Awakened. When he is a psychic he uses a collection of culturally appropriated 'mystic' wear.
Nimbus
Spider like webs connect sympathetic connections. Just faintly noticeable but not useful. Around him people notice little things more.
Personality
Quite playful and cheerful, especially to the ladies. Doesn't seem to take life seriously unless working then he is all business.
