Masks 2

"Oh, my damage?" Desmond said, he then lists off a few things matter of factly. "Well I did get lynched and set on fire and left dying in the street in the undercity that one time, nearly sold my soul to the Black Eyed Man, btw if a Black Eyed Man ever makes you an offer, refuse, he'll make it seem as if its way more binding than it is, just dont believe him and ignore him, save yourself the trouble, killed an innocent man while clearing out a rogue vampire nest in the old Solomon City Undercity, shotgunned him in the face while he was handcuffed to a radiator being used as a bloodsack. Met him during the visitation, he's in Heaven now and he's forgiven me for it, which is fine I guess but it fucked me up for a while. Had my first war while clearing out a Fae city, fun times." He coughed lightly.

"Got bitten by a vampire, once or twice, lost count, you better pick up the anti-vampirism potion while you're at it, vampires gonna be a big problem if we take the omnicorp out, trust me, recruited a bunch of guys to a team, immediately lost them when the fae raided my new base and I've been carrying that guilt for decades since, was almost assassinated by the fae during the train ride from hell, they sent a really dangerous assassin after me I barely survived and saved the train before its rigged to blow engine brought it over a destroyed bridge and blew up, one of the few upsides, got captured by the fae and brutally tortured for months, upside to that is I let go of my genocidal burning hatred of their entire race afterwards because they were making me just like them. Turns out not all fae are like that. Just the American kingdoms."

"Got nearly killed, maimed, brutalised and wounded a hundred thousand different ways but thats nothing new, wizards had makeshift healing potions before that medigel tech was new, fixes broken bones and everything, which is good because being a wizard attracts weird shit to you non-stop and there's nothing you can do about that, its part of your nature of being a wizard, its why I'm trying my best to ensure my students are the best prepared for their new lives as free mages after the omnicorp is defeated. Probably forgetting a few other wars in there somewhere. But otherwise there's nothing really 'special' about me in terms of traumatic damage, shit just happened after I became a wizard, before that I was just a loser dropout posing as a Wizard detective, conning rubes while I sorted out their superstitious nonsense... Until I used my thumb as a lighter that one time. Everything changed after that."
