Drake Industries is a leading magitek manufacturer, creating everything from software to fighter jets. Founded and run by the Drake family for over a hundred years, until Aelius Drake's ambitious second-in-command, Adrian Kelly, had him committed to a mental health facility fifteen years ago. Kelly has served as unopposed CEO since, but Aelius' son Valerius is ready to take the helm--and Kelly has no intentions of letting him have it. The types of magic present in this world: Inherent Magic: Inborn magical ability; allows those with it to use magic without the use of rituals or tech (Evocation magic). While evocation has more raw power it's considered imprecise and inefficient, and those who choose to study it over other forms of magic are looked down on. (It's an art moreso than a science, as the other types of magic are.) Ritual Magic: Magic used via incantations, diagrams, props, ect. Can be used by those w/o inherent magic. Time consuming, but powerful and precise. Used to create most device magic. - Alchemy: Magical chemistry; only proper ingredients are needed.
Device Magic: Spells and potions created to be used by those w/o inherent magic, or to strengthen/refine the magic of those w/ it. Often referred to as "magitek," and is equivalent to modern technology. Blood Magic: Magic requiring a blood sacrifice to work. One of the few types of magic universally considered evil. (Magic is considered a neutral tool otherwise.) And just to be clear, it's our world with magic. Form: Name: Age: Height: Position: Personality: Past: Pic/Description:

Jaime straightened his suit jacket and took a deep breath. He had been called into Drake Industries head office again. That meant the CEO, Adrian Kelly, wanted something from him. He was starting to regret accepting this job, but it paid the bills. Jaime reached down and turned the door handle. The door opened with a click, and Jaime stepped inside. "You called, Mr. Kelly?"

Kelly looked up at Jaime from his desk. "James, yes. Come in. I have a job for you. One of a rather...sensitive nature."

A dubious look flashed across Jaime's face. He closed the door behind him, then took a seat in front of Kelly's desk. "Sensitive, huh?" Jaime asked, wondering if this meant he would have to go play debt collector again.

"Very," Kelly said, steepling his fingers and eyeing Jaime. "You remember Aelius Drake, don't you? My predecessor? His son will be joining us today in an attempt to take over the company. I'm assigning you as his bodyguard. Officially. More importantly, and unofficially, I want you to report back to me on everything he says and does."

Jaime held in a grimace, keeping his face emotionless. Kelly wanted him to spy on some kid? If he hadn't regretted taking this job before, he did now. "Okay," Jaime said, hating himself just a little bit. "What do I need to know about this guy?"

Kelly slid a file over to Jaime, his face as impassive as if he were assigning Jaime to a routine security detail. "Valerius Drake, age twenty, recently graduated from MIT. A brilliant mind, by all accounts, though as he's a Drake insanity isn't far behind, no doubt."
