See what you think:Moru SenAs Moru's mother is wont to say, Moru always had his nose into some kind of trouble. That was the problem with being a bright, curious child in the smorgasbord of stimulus that is the 10th ward. It didn't help that his immigrant parents had to spend much of the day working to scrape by a living, and so couldn't spend the time they needed to keep an eye on him.If he wasn't pestering someone about the specifics of their race or their homeland, Moru was climbing to get a closer look at a new architectural piece, or sampling a new food, or dismantling something to see how it worked--in almost all cases, without permission. Luckily, what the boy lacked in common sense, he made up for with charm (and, failing that, quickness). His parents were sure, though, that it was only a matter of time before Moru's poking into things wound up having some more severe consequences than a comic chase through the district. They were both surprised and relieved beyond measure, then, when the adolescent Moru's cheerful interrogation of a respected wizard [are there names of LCA professors available?] visiting a new art exibit impressed the man such that he offered Moru a scholarship to the Lauralie Conjuration Academy. There, Moru's curiosity had a more structured outlet. Which is not to say he was a model student. As before, he never quite had enough sense to adequately temper his curiosity. He had a penchant for freeing the school's creature specimens ("I just wanted a closer look"), and the school had to take to more carefully monitoring him in his alchemical studies ("But if one drop is good, four must be better, right?"), just for example. Luckily, his innate interest in summoning live creatures lead him to exclude necromancy from his studies; the professors breathed a collective sigh of relief that Moru would never interact with the Undead samples. It was something of a surprise when Moru chose to enter the constabulary. His professors assumed he'd attach himself to the best magical research facility around for the benefit of their resources. Moru, for all that the idea appealed, found that what he had missed most in his academy days was the interaction with people on the streets. Life as a constable gave him that back, and gave him a sense that he was also repaying the people he'd learned from by using his skills to protect them. Eventually, Moru's inquisitive nature lead him to join the investigative Alpha Division of the Special Squad. "Iggy" is often flustered by Moru's stream-of-conscious, lack-of-discipline style (and he really hates that bloody weasel that hangs out on the boy's shoulder), but he gets along well with his fellows and the citizenry, and Iggy can't argue the results. Usually. CG Human Conjurer 5 (barred schools: Enchantment and Necromancy)</blockquote>
