Hi everybody! This is Katie of Sawyer Clafton infamy, and I bring you character number two today (with a third pending, because apparently I can't help myself), Lionel Owen, civilian! Previously known as Eugene or Jeong, aaaand also Grace Ahn (B52 Medic)'s long disappeared older brother. (I refer to him as all three names in here, I APOLOGIZE IN ADVANCE FOR THE CONFUSION)
In short, backstory: when Jeong was near twenty, he got involved with the Arrows (big time gang on Venus which has since split into two separate groups—Angie will have more info on them I think :O) but only to scam them of a big score (and therefore setting them after him). His little sister, Grace, had been blinded years earlier by a wave of spores, and the Grey Ash they needed to restore her sight was far too expensive: their family could barely afford survival. Eugene's parting gift after scamming the gang was Grey Ash seeds, a referral to a doctor who could do the surgery, and disappearing into the night. He hasn't seen any of them since (POOR GRACE, JFC).
Upon his disappearance, he took up the mantle of Lionel Owen, picking up work where he could and becoming at least a minor jack of all trades: he got off Venus by hitching a gig on an RAC ship just long enough to bail out on the next planet (and he's done this a few times) so if any older members want to have crossed paths with him, hit me! In the years since, however, he's gotten some papers falsified (thx Eden :*) and has set himself up as a lab tech at Chasse Pharmaceutical, on Mars—where he moonlights as a fucking druglord, I shit you not. He started with illegal street drugs, but nowadays between pilfering from the biggest name in pharmacy (drugs and formulas), he can pretty much get his hands on anything on the black market. Yes, including Grey Ash seeds. It's come full circle, hasn't it.
Ahem. So for now, people would only know him as Lionel Owen, and likely not very well! Buuuut there will be plot upcoming to involve him in people's lives in a much more significant way, so hang onto your britches ;3 and in the meantime hit me for any possible connections, or just to tell me what people are going to feel about Grace and her brother. Who... made it possible for her to see again but also disappeared on her sixteen years ago without a trace. Ngl he has no regrets, and especially won't when he finds out what she made of herself :3
I WRITE TOO MUCH, expect another longwinded intro sometime soon
