And I'm cool with being the cavalry.Never mind about the wealth, I've decided to make him a lot poorer-fits better.Background, description, and aliegences:Self, Fellow PsychicsReed Emmerson had a fairly normal childhood up until his late teenage years when both of his parents were killed in a resteraunt fire. This has given him a strong dislike (but not a fear) of fire. The loss led Reed to persue various occult knowledge and search for answers in philosophy (most of it was voodoo rubbish, and any truths that may have been present were overlooked). After finishing a degree in phillosophy, and finding that he couldn't afford any more schooling and had little prospect of getting a job with a bachelor's degree in philosophy, so he found work in a dusty occult book store instead. It didn't pay well, but the old man running the shop seemed kind, and let him read whenever there weren't customers--which was most of the time. One day, while browing the shelves, Reed found an aincient looking book dating back from the 1750's. Interested, he read the book over several sittings, returing it to it's hiding place each time. As he followed the mental exercises and meditations within, Reed found that he could sense the supernatural, discover information about objects, and even speak with the residual psychic impressions of the dead (This is how his akashic research power works if that's OK). One day, the old man saw Reed reading. He warned him of the life he was getting himself into and told him not to use his newly learned powers openly. After realizing how far Reed had gotten, the old man decided to teach him instead as he was already marked as a psychic. After a year of study, the old man was found dead in his house--oficially killed by a heart attack, though Reed (incorrectly, the man died of natural causes) suspects otherwise. Reed did not beleive this and fled, convinced 'whoever' had killed his mentor was after him too. Now he lives out of the back of his car, always moving, and always looking for people hunting him (though his paranoia has protected him from discovery so far). Reed generally has a creepy vibe, though makes a determined effort to seem friendly and funny, though he is naturally inclined towards pessimisim (he would say realisim). This helps him prepare for the worst. Reed never reveals personal information and is very ashamed abouth the fact that he lives in his car.  He usually wears light grey cargo pants, a grey sweater, and a slightly darker grey overcoat and backpack. He has straight, shoulder-length bleached white hair, though he dyes his hair a new color every now-and then just in case. He is extremely thin, because he spends very little on food, and stands about '6"2. He is quite weak from lack of excercise and a bad diet. He keeps an extremely heavilly modified rovolver on his person at all times. He avoids any public place where weapons must be disclosed.</blockquote>
