Alonzo Marconi came to the USA on a Work Visa from Italy, working in one of the chip manufacturing plants in the "Ohio Silicon Valley". He brought over his wife Miriam and eventually had three children, the youngest of which was Liam.

When Liam was 7 years old, the family visited the Serpent Mound for a Total Eclipse of the Sun. The site marks a Ley Line Nexus, as many such sites do, and the Eclipse brought a PPE surge that attuned the precocious young Liam to magic. Until the surge faded he performed magical feats, which no one else witnessed because he had wandered off a little, and he was told they were all his imagination. He repressed the memory and thought it only a dream for over a decade. This did lead to him going to college to study ancient culture and mythology in Atlanta. Unlike many, he found himself resisting the trend towards genetic enhancement, it somehow made him uncomfortable.

Not being a scholarship-level mind, he had to pay his way through college and joined the national guard to help do so. He still visited home, when not at school or on duty, to see his parents and siblings (and, recently, his first niece). When last he was in the Ohio Valley, he family was just fine.

For fun, he splits his time between gardening and involvement in Role-playing games. His knowledge of myths and legends lets him know the legendary weaknesses of many monsters...though many times the GM would change things up so the players would have to think and not just look on-line.

He has heard of the rising tensions in South America and is worried that the situation appears to be escalating. He has been told to be on alert, that his unit may be called up in the event of the situation becoming worse. Until then, he is trying to continue life as usual.

Inconsistent formatting. I don't know if this is the result of the skill list or the player's actions, but it needs to be fixed.

Looks like I need to upgrade to level 4.

Hit Points: 3d6: [6, 3, 2] = 11
PPE: 3d6+1: [6, 1, 6]+1 = 14
MDC (Blue Zone): 3d6: [1, 2, 5] = 8
6 total new spells from either Chaos Magic or Wizards Invocations (2 per level, not of any level higher than his own level t the time they were gained)

I think I will go with 2 Chaos spells at level 2: Debris Wall (8) and Hot Rod (6)
At Level 3 also 2 Chaos Spells: Fly Like a Superhuman (20) and Leap Frog (2)
And another 2 Chaos Spells at Level 4: Eye Spy (6) and Lifeline (3)

I gain 1 skill at level 4, with GM permission I am taking Weapon Systems (40% +5%/L)

At Level 4 in Hand to Hand (Basic) I am +2 to Parry and Dodge, have a basic kick attack (for 1d8 SDC) and gain one extra attack per round.

[Liam Marconi]

I am confused about whether I should have leveled up, but I have done so.

Hit Points: 1d6: [1] = 1
PPE: 1d6+1: [6]+1 = 7
MDC: (in Blue Zone): 1d6: [2] = 2
