  Travis Conway was born in August 23rd 1993 , his parent Molly and Chris were simple people , poor people in New York . Chris Conway worked construction and Molly stayed home with Travis. Travis always did dream big , when he was around 6 he would sit down and read various books his favourite, Heart of Darkness. He used to read when Molly fell asleep and his father would pass out after having a few drinks when he came back from the building site. The streets of New York as Travis grew up ever changed , but Travis always did have one edge over most , he could remember everything , every detail presented in front of him. It was one of the primary reasons that despite growing up in a neighbourhood like Brownsville in Brooklyn Travis got straight A's in school especially in chemistry , then again knowing math in these area meant you were useful. A being useful often meant far more than being strong Travis had noticed.
  
  Travis's talents for maths and numbers got him the attention from certain members of gangs , the two he grew up with , O-Dog , tough and loyal hides himself in the world of gangs and violence to make himself feel welcome somewhere , anywhere. Emma McGraw, like Travis just born in the wrong neighbourhood but has always learned to talk her way out of anything , as a dealer she always draws the right crowd. Travis picked his own crew well, despite always dreaming of more the reality was you had to align yourself with the right people in order to survive. Doesn't mean you like you have to like but the decision you make now often pays the price later was the main lesson Travis learned. Travis himself stuck to low level dealing keeping himself at a distance but making sure he kept O-Dog and Emma close to give him that breathing room. He was however fascinated for a time with chemistry probably due to seeing all the drugs but he always wondered about if you can adjust the right chemical properties.
  
  Travis ended up going to NYU Tandon School of Engineering studying Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. He kept close to his friends form that old world and engaged in some low level dealing and upped to cooking since his talents with chemistry grew and grew. Travis discovered that living that two sides of the coin grew easy , you tell a person one thing and work it's all part of that simple equation. This went one for around two years with Travis turning 22 on the verge of graduation, the consequences finally came to collect. There was a new guy who was working them in the lab his name was Jason, he wasn't a kind man or good man hell in the world Travis knew who is really. The new drugs he created seemed to cause problems including one girl jumping off her balcony in fright. Travis grew wary by this week by week , day by day, hour by hour it, it racked at his brain. He knew the walls he had created where being casted down by this, people began to ask questions. Emma called him noticed people beginning to watch her , O dog went away on a 8 month stretch for getting caught with some guns, Jason was with him and he was fine , we had heard he ran leaving O-Dog behind.
  
  Travis meet with the Boss of a lab Cameron Fletcher, dressed in a fine suit , Michael had it all and told Travis Jason was a poor investment , that he needed to be watched or handled. Travis had seen his fair share of violence and even had to drop one or two people that had stepped up to him but never killed anyone. He sat for weeks pondering and pondering on it, the different results, the consequences , everything. For those two weeks Travis in tandem with Emma watched Jason his movements, who he meet, eventually he spotted someone who he would meet consistently every two weeks and hand over a small envelope to him. Keeping a distance Travis followed this man and found his was a cop. It all seemed simple Travis could've walked away then and there go to the college life and forget this whole thing he knew Jason was trying to pay his way for his sister after their mother died. But as he drove to Mr Narceti's he repeated several speeches about how he was done with that life , one was calm the other was more panicked and another was more of a flipping the bird and swaggering out in a blaze of glory. By the time he pulled up to the door and parked the car, he had decided. He handed the photos to Travis and a nice big wad of cash was slid into his hand, he felt this condensation on the wads of money. It felt like two things were watching him and judging him, Travis couldn't shake that feeling as he sat in his car, the first time in his life he doubted his decision, that smile , he had never seen someone looked so hungry almost primal. He lay there most of the night when his phone rang and he meet Cameron at a abandoned multi storey car park , the place was empty , not a soul .Eventually he found his way to the very top. He heard the screaming as he was coming up. Begging crying and various shouting a more primal hungry shouting. Travis could feel condensation wash all over him his clothes seemed more sweaty and that feeling of something watching, judging as he peeked up open the door.
  
  Jason was hanging there bloody , hanging from at the top with Cameron holding his legs shouting. Jason and he made eye contact one final time before he was falling almost in slow motion. Travis Conway at that moment felt something whispering in his mind 'Deicide'. Travis ran, ras fast as he could , stumbling he looked over the edge and saw the lifeless body of Jason there eyes open. How Travis got home he still can't recall, it was all a blur, the hot shower was a welcome disguise of his own tears and shakes. A pill he used to try make himself number , he tried alcohol to make him dumb to all cognitive thinking , in the end all he wanted to be in that moment anybody else. He as he lay there the broken body of Jason stood there smoking a cigarette.
  ' You killed me '
  ' I did '
  ' I wasn't a good or I wasn't a bad man but you killed me '
  ' I did ..I made the decision '
  'No .. you didn't '
  Travis never spoke about it but things started changing, he could see people that where gone. He kept quiet about it. Made sure no one could know. However two days later the figure of Joey that followed him around had changed. Sulfur yellow was the color of his skin. As he down on the chair in Conway's way room, the chair altered into a small throne. Conway begin to felt it. Life pulling through his system. He knew something had woken up. Something deep inside of him. As if the chemical balance finally aligned the write way. The next day he got a knock on the door and Conway was introduced to two men Sal and Gus. They had 'sensed' him. They explained what he was. They Called him awakened. If confused him at first but somewhere deep inside him it made sense. They called themselves member of the Free Council. They didn't answer to the constant static and stiff methods of other Orders. A true democracy and for a guy like Conway who was used to the gangs gathering in small Co-Ops to help move better consignments of drugs in order to avoid the cops. The Free Council suited Conway's needs just fine. Keeping Emma ignorant about his new life and business. Conway kept his head down and built his skills quietly.
  
  Eventually the orders began to clash and Conway applied his street logic and methods to his orders agenda. It wasn't pretty, but then again everyone needed healing and to see the different spirits. In the end the street shamen and a chemist go hand in hand with each other. Eventually Conway earned a small enough rep for a man to be counted on to get things done. With things heating up in Nyc , the Free Council needed more of a stronger base of connection to the different Strategos across the country. Conway was sent to Austin, Texas, he managed to convince Emma it was a good idea. After with a little set up from the Free Council , Conway was sent to work as a cook for a local smuggling ring and Emma as his runner ( Dealer ). Get as much power going with the Council as he can. The Free Council need another pillar. Time for Conway to earn his way. Magic belongs to the people just gotta fight to get it back.
  
  Ally :
  Emma McGraw
  Travis's closest friend and girlfriend , Emma has always been there. Emma deals while Travis cooks it , the two have worked well together for years since they were kids. Emma Sees the side of Conway the street and the world they live in would tear apart. She sees Travis , the bookish kid who enjoys old timey movies books and movies , the guy who since Jason's death has been afraid of heights and the guy who carries the price of the decisions he's made.
