Name (including aliases as appropriate): William "Redhook" Torbett, often referred to as Torbett.
Age/Gender: 24 Years Old/Male
Relevant Skills: Level 5 Diploma in Civil Engineering
A Level: Business Studies, Law, Mathematics, Media Studies, and Physics.
GCSE - A-C in English, Maths (Double Award) and Science (Double Award), C in Business Management, B in Engineering, and G in Cooking Technology.
Occult - Witchcraft and Voodoo.
Boxing
Advanced First Aid Training
Crypto-zoology
Relevant Background Information: Born in Manchester, UK, where he (regrettedly) spent most of his life. William and his sister often suffered at the hands of their father who would beat them often in a fit of drunken rage. Wanting to get as far away from his father as possible he sought to better himself through studies. Much to the ire of his peers, who thought it best to expend their energy on making his personal life a bubbling pot of dread, he was often obtained good results landing him in the second highest set for most subjects.
His introduction to the occult was via his grandmother, whom on his mothers side came from a long line of witches who taught him the applications of Blood Magic. He was then introduced to the real form of Voodoo, not the mockery that people often thought of as the result of Christian missionaries seeking to defame the religion, by a Haitian neighbor whom he sought to repair damages done to their home by his father.
Whilst he studied he needed an outlet for the rage that had built over the years and found that he had an affinity for boxing. Often earning himself medals and trophies ranging from bronze to silver, he would apply his knowledge of voodoo to heal himself of any injuries that afflicted him via the use of a doll and pegs.
When William finally graduated from University he had received a large inheritance from his grandmother which he used to leave Manchester for Boston, Massachusetts where he sought to make a new life for himself and earn enough money to afford a comfy lifestyle and continue his studies into the occult. Eventually he branched out to the study of animals that were believed to be nothing more than mere myths after coming across a variety of interesting photographs that had been dismissed by the general public as being fake.
It wasn't long until his studies in the US had brought him to certain websites or pointed towards hidden meaning in public texts that could be found by only those who would care to look. This eventually lead him to the Illuminati where he was introduced to the world of Sex, Drugs and Rockerfella.

((OOC section))
1. How much experience do you have with roleplaying? Have you played other MMORPGs? There's no wrong answer here.
I've been Roleplaying since I was 12 starting off with PnP titles such as Vampire: The Masquerade and Shadowrun. I had already been playing MMO's my first being Dark Age of Camelot pre-Trials of Atlantis. I made the jump to Role Playing in an MMO in Everquest 2 and have been doing so in every MMO I've played since then.
The MMO's I've played in order are as follows; Dark Age of Camelot - Shivering Isles, Everquest 2, City of Heroes/Villains, Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning, Champions Online (1st Generation LTS), Star Trek Online (Haven't played that much since the beta) Star Wars: The Old Republic.
I've been in quite a few Roleplaying Guilds with my most recent one being S.T.A.N.D. an ally to Halcyon Academy in which I'm the Co-Leader under Lightstarr.
With the exception of CO I mostly gravitate towards filling the healer role finding myself enjoying seeing green numbers dance across the screen keeping people smiling as they disembowel the nearest eldritch abomination.
2. What has brought your character to the group? Do you have any stories/ideas that you hope to develop for them as they progress through the game, and if so, what are they?
Torbett is driven by money in order to maintain a comfortable lifestyle as well as continue his studies into the occult and crypto-zoology and he is lead to beleive that Ægir Communications offers him the best opportunity for it.
At the moment I don't have any ideas for stories as I'm very much learning the lay of the land as it were and I want to learn more about the in-game lore before I even attempt developing a story.
3a. Fill in the blank: If my character were to meet an Eldritch Horror From Beyond Space And Time, he/she would probably __________.
Be quite fascinated by it up until the point where it tries to eat his face off.
3b. Fill in the blank: If I were to meet an Eldritch Horror From Beyond Space And Time, I would probably __________.
Put someone in my place (probably Lightstarr) to appease the unspeakable nightmare creature as i bolt towards the nearest Ratman Hole to hide in.
4. How did you find out about us, and how would you like for us to contact you in-game?
Was talking to Sersi on champs Via the HA OOC chat when we got onto the subject of TSW and Sersi asked me which faction i'd be joining (Illuminati) and if I'd be interested in joining a Cabal and pointed me towards Ægir Communications.
As for contacting me in-game... well OOC you can contact me via tells if I'm around or in-game mail if I'm not.
5. Have you ever wanted a chance to just say whatever you'd like about yourself to a group of anonymous strangers over the internet? If so, here's your chance!
I shall sing you the song of my peo-HURK! *hooked off stage*

And there's a lot that I'm sure we'll understand better about how to get in touch when Early release happens. XD They're changing things around a fair amount right up to the end!
