Gideon Wexler: Character Sheet

Background

Gideon Wexler was born in the city of Los Angeles when it was still an independent city in the Califonia Free State, always the black sheep of the nation it was largely left on its own. As a result there were only a couple of livable regions of the city, the rest were considered slums even among the relatively low standards of city living. Luckily for Gideon he was born into one of the livable regions, though not quite the super high class sanctuaries that modern movie stars occupied. His parents lived and worked in the hospitable Downtown District of LA, where land was mostly corporate opened and controlled. In this case it was certainly a good thing.

Both of Gideons parents were engineers for Lockheed and hey lived on Lockheed property, it was a comfortable life to grow up in and the facility was large enough to keep him entertained and protected. To the surprise of his human parents he experienced a change in high school, he was the only Elf in the family but both parents handled the transition well. Just as important was Lockheed's acceptance and general lack of racism against metahumans, little changed for him right away. However, when Lockheed discovered he was showing signs of magical ability they were far more interested. All of a sudden he was looking at a corporate scholarship to attend UCLA, assuming he would work for Lockheed coming out of college. Initially he was planning to take the offer, but to his surprise his parents advised him not to. They would help him pay to attend UCLA without signing a contract they had both worked their entire lives for; discovering his parents loyalty to the corporation only ran so deep was an eye opening sight for him.

Tragedy struck shortly after, with CalFree almost completely ignoring the city, Pueblo seized their opportunity and moved in, taking control of all of southern California. The invasion meant very little for the Wexler family, but during some of the commotion gang violence spilled into the streets of Downtown LA, Gideon's father was caught up in it and killed as an innocent bystander. Despite the turmoil Gideon went off to UCLA to get his undergrad degree in engineering, following in his parents footsteps; meanwhile his mother continued to work for Lockheed. Though she privately suspected her husbands death was not entirely random, and that Lockheed had been partially responsible as an act of retaliation for Gideon's refusal of their contract.
