Background

James W. Varley served under Joseph Prosek during the Bloody Campaign. His sons Grady, Chester and Layman Varley also proudly served in the CS military, both for Chi-Town and for the local defense of Whykin. When Grady’s youngest son, Whitaker first showed an interest in engineering, he was proud, envisioning how young Whitaker would grow to help support the new Emperor’s War Machine. Whitaker kept his special abilities secret from his family for a time, but eventually, he had to be true to himself and acknowledge his gifts. Now, serving in the Tomorrow Legion, Whitaker is trying to both expand his mastery of magic, and his mind--trying to overcome his prejudicial upbringing, and finding value and self-acceptance in his magic and humanity in the d-Bee.

I moved this here because Whitaker has fallen inactive. Apparently he logged on on the 20th, but we haven't heard from him.
