Adrian was born in Seattle. An albino, and the third son of a German born firearms designer, he learned his fathers trade through careful study of his father working at home. Although Zachariah Nelson is a very skilled Firearms technician, he has struggled with crippling debt from college loans, corporate sharking, and many of the troubles of today. One of the more pressing needs, that had compounded the family debt was Adrian's eyes. Adrian had been helping his father design some magnesium flare rounds for assault rifles (who needs a flare gun these days! with ARES new nightlight rounds) one of the rounds had detonated in the workshop, blinding Zachariah temporarily, and blinding Adrian's Albino eyes permanently, Zachariah had had to mortgage his house for a second time to pay for cyberware replacements.
Crash 2.0 was a godsend in the Nelson home, wiping away their debt, Zachariah remained vigilant financially, and has become something of a miser. Adrian and his brothers had grown up watching other kids get whatever they wanted, while the three of them had to share an old second hand commlink. His older brother's Axel and Adolf, are both studiously following their father's path. Adrian the prodigy in the family saw no reason to follow them, as he already knew more than the two of them combined. Though he cared less for making weapons than for making controlled explosions. with the right amount of preperation one can knock a pebble off a boulder, or crack it in two...
While in Highschool he often was asked what he wanted to do in life, he could find no serious answer, as the years progressed, he grew more and more uncomfortable with the question, until one day a Knight Errant recruiter visited the school, and listed the broad range of skill types that KE was hiring. As an EOD specialist, he could mess with explosives all day, and call it practice! The perfect career. After that fateful day, Adrian was convinced that he was one of the 'good guys'. firstly he was a cop, and everyone knows that law enforcement is the ultimate personification of good in this world. Secondly he was going to be an EOD tech, which meant that he didn't really have to fight Gangers, or Ork scum, he would save high-rise apartments from criminal masterminds and the like, just like Alex from the Trideo series Knightwatch.
After finishing the Highschool, he was snapped up by Knight Errant, and immediately sent through their training academy. His analytical prowess helped him succeed, and led him down the path of Explosive Ordnance Disposal early on. The academy in many ways was a rude awakening, every member of Knight Errant was expected to be able to catch criminals, in theory. He had not expected the focus on weapons, or the Cyberware available, and a lot of times expected of trainees. Now though after extensive combat training, Adrian is confident in his ability to hold his own, and not let his teammates down.
EOD school was a blast for Adrian, the new challenge of taking explosives apart before they detonated, was exhilarating, the bombs that the instructors designed, were devious little buggers that tripped up most trainees, but Adrian, could almost see the way the veteran had thought when making the things. His instructors were frustrated that they were never able to instill in him that sense of respect for explosives, the kid was too good, one day a bomb-maker as talented as Adrian would come along, and the assets he was trying to save would be gone in a flash.
Adrian had a lot of free time in EOD school, enough so to get the 'enhancements that his instructors said were necessary in EOD, Titanium Bonelacing had hurt a lot, but might keep him alive if he slipped up. Wired reflexes so he could move that much faster in disarming, and maybe get to cover if he slipped up. Last but by far the most important, his eyes had to be upgraded with a laundry list of accessories, Vision Magnification was a must, let you see the smallest of backdoors, and boobytraps, Flare comp was very practical, and economic, Smartlink had just made sense. The attention co-processor had just been a bit of technophilism, but Adrian had seen the benefits in keeping track of bomb components, as well as target drones/ opposition Force members. Adrian still felt a little guilty about spending so much of his pay on himself, even with the employee discount, and the obvious tax credit.
Ever since the academy he has had a private fantasy of being the big hero who rescues the common citizen from vicious criminals (who always seem to be played by drooling orks). This prejudice stems from his Germannic descent, his father is German, his mother is a Swede, consequently, he has a very clear mental picture about what a family should be, and nowhere in that picture is there a metavariant, (Minor races could be servants I.E. chinese, black). This strong prejudice towards Orks, has not become full blown racism yet, but the foundation is there.
(OOC: I would like to point out at this point that I am not racist in any way shape or form, Me the person making the character. I figured if i was going to pick a stereotypical 'bad guy' in Shadowrun, then i might as well, make him human, but defiently hateable)
Adrian is a kid fresh out of the schoolhouse, more than a bit Naiive, and considered a prodigy with explosives. He is seriously looking forward to getting some real field time.
