Basics

  • Bikes:
    • Mechanic: One of the few jobs that he's ever been able to hold down is that of a bike mechanic.

Occult

  • Drawn to the Darkness: He's always been dawn to the darker, more gritty side of things. It's just who he was. He's not the kind of person that seeks the spotlight, center stage or the attention or adoration of the crowd. Rather, he prefers to hang out in the wings, on the fringe and in the shadows. From his first brush with magic, he was tempted by the things that whisper to him from the darkness - telling him things that fed his curiosity and his need for power and revenge.
    • He's drawn to the darker forms of magic and to those who study and practice it: Covens, Witches, Sorcerers, Etc.
  • Dances in the Shadows: Fire seems to draw out a hidden face from him. By the flickering light of fires that drive back the night so that he can dance in that middle ground between the two; between light and darkness. Morally he's sort of straddling the grey-ish areas of good and evil. He's not out to butcher the world but some people just need killin - and he doesn't lose any sleep about it.
  • Faces in the Flames: Fire is one of his principle, magical tools. Should he be summoning a spirit or casting a curse, fire will be involved in one form or another. In addition, he goes through a portion of ingredients and materials that he has to acquire through sometimes more unconventional means.
  • Aint his first Boneyard: Aside from fire, the next most prominent material of his spells is bones - typically the human variety. This means that he might be found out at some of the old cemeteries that have been conventionally forgotten. They tend to be easier for making withdrawals.

Streetwise

  • Streetwise (1): He’s a mechanic that owns New Era Garage and Salvage Yard in the working class/industrial part of town
  • Streetwise (2): His garage employs a few people with a criminal history. He claims that he’s trying to help them get back on their feet, but he could just be building a new crew.
  • Streetwise (3): He was a Hitter for some of the small families / organizations in Vegas. Heard he did also pulled a nickle back in South Carolina for agg. assault.
  • Streetwise (4): He used to be a member of a small gang called the "Harbringers" that ran between Texas, Arizona, New Mexico. They were into some of the spooky stuff but it probably was just to keep people scared.
  • Streetwise (5): ???

Goals

  • Find a Castle: The saying goes that a man's home is his castle. Well, one of Dawson's goals is to finally settle down somewhere so that he can have such a place. Somewhere that he can call his own and can do whatever he wants in it. In this town it'll probably be his garage.
  • Find a Crew: You can't watch your own back for long - at least not well, so he needs to find people who are willing to watch his back if he watches theirs. It could be three people working at the shop or a dozen who ride with him around the city as he tries to steak out a claim - either way he's tired of fighting this war on his own.
  • Find the Cash: All the wants in the world don't mean squat if you ain't got the cash to make them happen. He's put almost all of his money into the garage and that's a start but he knows that he'll need to find some way to get the money he needs to live life a bit more comfortably.
