Burne is a normal unique snowflake. He was raised by a single drugged out mother and the streets. By the age of 12 he had a juvenile wrap sheet for petty crimes, spending time in a juvenile hall for boys. He made some friends there, which didn't help him stay on the corret side of the law. When 17 he did 2 years for assault while doing one of those friends a favor. For takin the heat, his friend referred him up to an uncle of his, a guy in his late 20's from an estranged cosanostra family, trying to regain his footing and power in the city. Burne works for him as a petty thief and runner. As a legit day job, he works at a tattoo parlor, inking people with the skills he learned while in county. He also got pretty good with a blade while in jail, fending off rapists with a shiv. He don't like to talk about that much.
Such is life for Burne, who is still living by the rules of the street, and enjoys the freedom that comes with it.
He's about 5'10", weighs 175 lbs, and has a closely shaved head. His ears are pierced with simple steel hoops. Each of his arms has a sleeve of tattos that meet across his back. For visualization purposes, he looks like Jessie from Breaking Bad, with tats.
<Becoming an Elan>
He will grow slightly taller, evening out at 6 foot. His face will get prettier a bit, all of the hard edges disapearing into a more handsome face. His hair will be a shiny platinum blonde, if he chooses to grow it out. His eyes will go from a dark brown to a cold grey. More importantly his tats will shift a bit, an will suddenly have way more significance to him.
