» About: History/personality

Escher grew up unremarkably in Connecticut.  He did exceptionally well in his younger years with sports (soccer and lacrosse primarily) as well as his studies.  From an early age he showed an aptitude towards science and technology and his parents supported those abilities with many summer camps, after school programs and the like.  Escher realized the importance of not becoming a success (he likes money) and embraced him parents’ desire that he learn about these complex studies rather than just sports and video games.  Not all sciency geek, Escher by nature is a warrior and enjoys playing hard in all pursuits and also enjoys the conquests of partying and dating as well.  You’re only young once and why not be young, smart, and soon rich?

 

Currently, Escher is enrolled in MIT and is pursuing a degree in Architecture (much to his parents’ horror as they assumed he’d pursue engineering).  He is in Japan on an internship with a top global firm and partying by night with the people that he’s met on his travels.  When he isn’t working or playing, he’s taken on many of the region’s natural challenges and enjoyed himself thoroughly until he was talked into trying a video game…

 

Personality wise, Escher can either be aloof, outgoing, overly friendly, whatever suits his mood.  By default he tends to be skeptical and it can take a long time to earn his trust although he can inexplicably form tight bonds with certain people.  When he knows he wants you (friend/lover/enemy/etc), he knows and it can be absolute.  He is confident and especially in the context of this situation can adapt readily to be what he needs to be; a true chameleon.

 

» Virtues:

Resourceful.  Do you need a way out of this trap and you only have a paperclip?  Looking for water in the desert?  Map trouble?  Need help figuring out how to upgrade something?  Escher's your guy.  He can quickly assess what assets are available and repurpose anyone/anything/anywhere to work towards a solution and is incredibly quick on his feet with this concept.  Actually doing the work though… he’s going to outsource that whenever he can. 

 

Logical.  Ever since Escher was a small boy, he was able to remove himself emotionally from situations (stressful or not) and address the situation.  He's not terribly fond of useless games like chess (video games are totally different obviously), although he would be excellent at it if he tried.  Everything comes to Escher's mind in the form of lists of information, prioritization, and conflicts and he's incredibly adept at sorting through the chaff and finding the correct (although sometimes harsh) path to take in any given situation/concept/so on.

 

Observant.  Escher is always aware of himself and his situation.  Sometimes this skill extends to other people and has always come in handy for him in both his personal and school life so he’s come to rely heavily on it.  Getting something past Escher visually would be extremely difficult and his acuity can border on distraction with this at times.  However, Escher is quick to point out changes in patterns and is very sensitive to environmental cues due to this as well.

 

» Flaws:

Fixations.  While being incredibly smart, Escher is also prone to fixations.  If there's a new desired shiny skill/concept/toy/person, he's going to obsess over it until he’s bored or has it conquered.  This flaw helps him learn things rapidly but can come to the detriment of other people and tasks.

 

Impatient.  Quite simply, Escher is going to make something happen when the time is right (sometimes when the time is close enough).  He doesn't like to wait and he wants things to happen now.  Even if it’s something that might result in a small(ish) immediate mess, if it ends up in forward progress and makes sense or he can justify it, he'll be the one to light that fire right up.

 

Overambitious.  With this mishmash of intelligence and slightly impulsive behaviors, it should come as no shock that Escher can tend to over extend himself with him goals and desires.  Even when he's terribly over extended though, he normally can make anything work out and is excellent at prioritizing.  Most of the time.
