Tech Wizard

Tech Wizard (birth name Squirt Purpler) is a Wizard, public access TV actor, Shadowrunner, and member of the NeoScum crew.

Description
Tech looks like a stereotypical wizard, complete with pointed hat and robes covered in moons and stars. The outfit belonged to his father and Tech almost never removes it, even to disguise himself. Aside from his magic, Tech carries a grenade launcher under his robes for emergencies.

Before NeoScum
Tech was born Squirt Purpler to a family of magic-users. He had a carefree childhood until Faeglin Moros, a family friend, betrayed them to the government and Squirt's parents were executed in front of him. Squirt was eventually released, moved to Chicago, and decided to pursue a career in acting. He found a role on a children's show playing the villain, Tech Wizard, although he mostly got the job so the studio wouldn't have to pay for magic effects.

Squirt eventually met Dak Rambo while the show was on break. The two quickly started Shadowrunning together, Squirt taking his character's name as his Shadowrunner alias. One job led them to accidentally make mortal enemies of just about every gang in the city and, driving a heavily damaged Xanadu, they headed to Indianapolis so Dak could get it repaired.

Indianapolis
Upon Tech and Dak's arrival in Indianapolis, Dak was pulled over by Lone Star and Xanadu was impounded. In need of nuyen to get their truck back, Tech and Dak took a local job listing on Darkmovers. This led to Tech meeting Dak's old associate Zenith and, along with Pox, the four decided to form a Shadowrun group.
