About Edward Matsler
This is a Shadowrun character.
Edward Matsler is the son of an American-Japanese couple. His surname is a modification of its original form, Matsuo. His family owned a corporation in Japan and the Americas, until things went downhill.
His parents were taken. He doesn't expect to see them again. Somehow he has evaded capture himself, despite being registered (a friend of the family erases his traces to keep authorities off his trail, but that may not last forever).
He has mage powers. Unable to return to his corporation, he has joined with a group of criminals to get by, and as a way to possibly get to the bottom of how and why things went bad for his family.
He has a calm demeanor, has business know how, and knows how to speak to others. But as a side effect of his mage abilities, he can occasionally fly into fits of rage, especially when provoked beyond his limits. At these times, he doesn't hold back on his abilities to do harm.
Present year is 2075.
(Mitsuhama Computer Corporation?)
He lives in an apartment to disappear into the majority.
He has a fair stash of funds from his original assaociation with his parents. He keeps it in an unrelated bank account. To preserve it, he spends only moderately and supplements it with other money making opportunities. He avoids direct employment with corporations to prevent being discovered and taken as well.
For entertainment, he prefers private activities like Simsense or going alone to trid cinemas.
He dresses conservatively and respectfully, which is enough for him. He considers his mage powers an advantage but doesn't feel the need nor does he want to risk drawing attention to himself by dressing ridiculously.
Male, black straight hair, light brown eyes with green highlights.
