Max Cogswell Background:
Maxwell Cogswell is the son of wealthy industrialist. Garrison Cogswell runs Cogswell Tech. and is a leading manufacturer of computer components.
Max was raised in luxury and unfortunately alone for the most part. Shuffled from Nanny to Nanny and eventually a boarding school, he has become somewhat sullen and introverted. His one real outlet is the internet and on line gaming is a passion.
He is also a bit of a genius and a technological prodigy; this has been a boon for Cogswell Tech.
Max is a slight man of 21. He stands 5’ 6” and weighs 140 pounds. He has black hair and black eyes and very fair skin. Usually dressed in Denim and silk, he carries the top of the line tech with him everywhere.
Max’s personality is such that he will do anything for a friend, He’s smart, irreverent and a bit moody, He likes sword and sorcery movies and James Bond-esque books. In his eyes his great shame is that he is still a virgin.
Max lives mainly in London but has a home in NYC (actualy his father's condo)

Wow, he's quite a character. I think I love him already. 
He's going to get a bit of a shock though. If you've read the IC thread, you'll probably get the idea. It's getting a bit late here (Europe), so I'm going to take the night to digest the character and figure out what has happened so far. Expect your introduction tomorrow.

Argent,
your introduction is up. It might seem a bit heavy-handed, but I didn't want to waste too much time playing through all of that. As I've said to the others, there's just some things that have to happen to make sure that you awaken. How you react to all of those things is still entirely up to you, however. I have no plot line set in stone, so that's partly up to you.
I hope that explains some things, I didn't know if you had read through the earlier parts of the IC/OOC threads. Please ask if you still have some questions.

I already posted my reply. I love the idea of him being kidnapped. It fits his background. The reason I never mentioned his mother is I figured she was dead. this just gave me the reason why!Fanog said:
I'm still reading all of the thread. There's a lot there.

Nice, I think it'll work quite well. Hope he doesn't get traumatized too much. 
I'll try to update you a little more to get you up to speed, but I don't have time to write updates that often. They require a bit of time. We'll see how it works out.
Things isn the IC thread aren't really essential, except for the first two posts.
Also, when you think of it, would you please leave signatures out of the IC thread? It's not really an issue, but a slight preference for me. Thanks.

Now that I finally have the time to answer to this...
I'd really like to take a try. I haven't read the IC thread at all, but a Mage game can't be bad, can it.
I'll try to wrap up my character (building on the idea I gave earlier) during the next few days, hopefully even today.

This game looks very interesting, and I think I might be up for it.
I've never played Mage (or any other Storyteller game, for that matter), but I've flipped through the rulebook and know the very basic workings (mechanical and story-wise) of the game; just to give you some background.
For character, I have a couple ideas: human-consciousness researcher, virtual-reality tech who thinks there might be a way to understand real life as a projected reality, a detective who gets odd hunches all the time, or an attorney who lives next to a mortuary that gets strange feelings. I'm feeling kind of scatter-brained right now; I'll work up the character later. If I suit your needs, let me know and I'll start coagulating my thoughts.
