Born Prajasthani Mahmoud to faithful Islamic Pakistani in the
FSA, Aram has changed his name to sound more 'Hindu' as an act of
rebellion. His turn towards Hindu
faiths and Indian traditions marks no more actual devotion than would the turn
towards Satanism of the son of devout Protestants. His father works as an engineer in the Caribbean currently
(although he did work on the New DC arcology in East District) and his mother
works for Wazukawa as a receptionist (and after 30 years makes money that is
competitive with her husbands on again off again work contracts!). Despite their Pakistani heritage, his mother
is 5th generation American and his fathers family has been living in or around
Boston for 3 generations, so 'Aram' knows almost nothing of the Pakistani
language or 'his' culture, other than that he has a strong interest in Hinduism
(finding polytheism 'cool') and tigers.
He would even go to China to see one of the last surviving live tigers
if he could, but for now he settles for holo-projections and some striped tropical
fish his father has sent him from the Caribbean which he keeps in a salt water
tank in his tiny apartment.
Aram is only
mildly interested in Biotech, thinking that hardtech is the way to go. His main interest in Biomanipulation is for
self-defense and he has no real interest in proceeding beyond Disruption, in
fact, he generally find only the first few levels of Photokinesis to interest
him as well, saving his principal focus for Technokinesis, which he finds to be
the be-all, end-all of existence. He
spends far too much time in old Indian holosims, his favorite being an
adaptation of Roger Zelaznys' hoary classic Lord of Light, with himself as
Siddhartha of course! (The man who
coined the concept of Electrokinesis is, not surprisingly, well represented in
Orgotek holo-archives.) Unfortunately,
Aram has no real understanding of modern combat in any realistic sense and has
made the mistake of applying to work along side members of the Legion in the
area of the Blight Zone as he feels that he 'needs a change' from pure research
and study, study, study.
Aram is 5'
8", weighs about 155 lbs and would probably be handsome if not for his
rather unfortunate facial scarring (the result of a rather nasty mutated strain
of chickenpox he came down with as a child), making him look rather like Edward
James Olmos or Robert Davi (only thinner, younger and geekier). Worse yet, despite his youth, he is already
showing signs of premature baldness! He
is only 21, but has spent the last 8 years rather single mindedly hacking
about, crashing mini-nets about the house and mastering his father structural
engineering texts on-line, which, combined with a first-rate education provided
by his family and enhanced by his Orgotek training, has made him one of the
premiere technical minds in a firm full of top of the line technicians.
He has picked up
an Enhancer gauntlet, but finds the EES suits to be the tackiest things on
Siva’s green earth and wouldn't be caught dead wearing one of these 'walking
Christmas trees' no matter what it does for you!
