[edit] Introduction
Cambion lived in New Mexico until a couple of years ago. While he was always a bit extreme in his emotions, like most of his family, in elementary school he became very ill- something with a really high fever- and maybe that was what did it, or maybe it was the medication he had to take, or maybe it was something else, but one way or the other, he got severely burned out. Sadly, nobody much noticed, because it didn't make his behavior any less extreme- it just made it more, as he tried to recapture the sensations he once had. By the time he was in high school, he was close to raving, and had become something of a thrill junkie. Trying to express what he felt/didn't feel/weird icky state, he turned to art. He probably would've continued on until he'd killed himself doing something ridiculous, despite his parents' best efforts, but in his senior year something very bad happened.
Some local spiritfolk got rather angry at certain partly-fuzzy members of his family, unbeknownst to anyone else at the time, and decided to harass the kinfolk. After a while of creepy, everything going wrong, and seeming to be followed by oh god please let those be huge dogs huge oh god huge, he ended up being directly attacked by someone close to him who'd been turned into a Spirit-Ridden. He barely managed to get away and hide long enough for someone to heroically splatter the thing, and hiding in some little hole at school after-hours, wounded and scared shitless, while horrible sounds went on in the background, as close to feeling out of his head as he'd ever gotten, he Awakened.
For whatever damned reason, this also fixed his little emotional problem; not that he had much time to think about that before his uncle tossed him in a truck and told him not to worry about his things because he was moving. Yes, now. I have some friends you can stay with for a few days. I told your mother, and anyhow you're almost graduated and you can deal.
He actually ended up having to retake that year at a new school, between the impromptu crossing of state lines and the emotional shock, but it's all good. He still has no goddamn clue what happened, though he's curious; if anything he probably presumes his uncle's a Hunter. Right now he's managed to get into college, a freshman in art. He has a very large wolfdog his uncle gave him, partly for protection; her name is Ricki.
It's so good to see
This world is alive
It's so good to see
This world is a lie

[edit] Descriptions and Elaborations
Lie awake, still, as I try to breathe
Surely you mean this is something
You're bringing me down to a silent breath and it's the truth that I wanna see
In the sensory, serenity, how could it be, that I'm the next to see?
In the sensory, serenity, could it be, that I'm in ecstasy?
Age: 19.
Basic Description: Cambion would be very attractive if he ever bothered to clean up. He's about average height, with long, glossy dark brown hair usually pulled back in a messy, unwashed ponytail, greenish-hazel eyes, and a wardrobe of stained odds and ends. He (mostly) does keep up with basic hygiene, if only because other people insist, but by the end if not the middle of any given day he tends to smell of paint thinner, dirt and b.o., large amounts of chalk dust, and/or dog.
Theme: ART and also some creepy Hermetic stuff because he is after all a Ladder spirit-summoner.
Tools:
Path: Wooden Quarterstaff.
-*, something what lets you trip people so I hear.
