what about licenses?
do we have to buy fake ones or are we assumed to have real ones?

licenses are free for your SIN (corporate) and they include are extensive for whatever you have (registered mage or mancer, ammo, guns, etc etc).

as for illegal licenses/SIN´s:

1- KE issued -» free but there is the chance some underworld organization or runner may trace them down to KE (not very very liekly but thgere is always the chance of it)

2- acquired trough shadowy means -» not free but they are not traced to KE (and KE and corporations can't trace them to you... same as any runner fake SIN/license).

OK, here goes my first try at making a cop. (eww)

This guy has been pampered by his privileged parents and the corp since the day he was born. He has never known a desire that has gone unfulfilled and it turned him into a horrible person early in life. Initially bullied by his peers for his small stature, funny clothes, and strange taste in music, he responded by changing all those things to match the crowd. He began working out constantly, dressing how the other kids dressed, and listening to the music they listened to. Soon, he was part of the crowd doing the bullying, and nothing much has changed since then. His talent for working with magical energy was discovered at about age 13, not so much a talent for shaping and molding it, but for snuffing it out.

He has earned every bit of his bad rep as a cold, brutal, and effective hunter of the awakened. He is especially cold hearted when it comes to the SINless, but really shows no empathy to anyone, including his trophy wife and three children, aged 3,5, and 12. He enjoys them for the same reason he enjoys his SK bentley C (which he can hardly drive); because they make him look important and scary to other people. Same with the giant full auto shotgun on a gyro mount he keeps in the trunk, but has never needed to fire. It LOOKS impressive.

This is the kind of person i simply hate in real life and i thought it'd be fun to get inside his head and see what makes this kinda asshole tick.

and yes, that IS correct, he has no spells, nor the spellcasting skill.
i don't ever intend to get it for him.

this guy is strictly countermagic.

He's been busy with opening a resturant recently and hasn't been on for a few days.
