Name: Cameron Wayborn

Age: 23

Date of Birth: June 16

Appearance: Cameron is 6’0 tall, weighing 155 pounds, fairly skinny on a medium frame. He is slightly muscular, not the build of a fighter, but he gets some from working in his shop. He has brown hair that is cut short, and brown eyes to match. His face has a gentle look to it, fairly attractive and usually with a smile on it. Depending on the day, you’ll see his left leg look slightly wider due to the brace on it, or he’ll be walking with a heavy limp and a cane. His clothing varies on whether he’s in the shop or out and about on the town. In the shop it’s basically whatever he can find, whatever pants, shirt, and shoes were available and a smith’s apron. When he goes out, it’ll be nicer clothing, typically something like nicer pants, black shoes, and a button shirt, tie, and vest. Not too fancy, but the most casual either.

Personality: Cameron has always been the guy to help those around them, whether that means giving what he can or doing a favor. He is very friendly, a smile gracing his face most of the time you see him. It’s his way of moving on from the past. He is also very intelligent, mostly in the way of fixing things and understanding how they work. He’s always had a knack for crafting things and getting them working again, from toys as a kid to comms devices for military once he got older. He likes it too, getting something working right or making something just how someone imagined it is one of the things he enjoys the most, and it doesn’t hurt that it can pay the bills, too.

History: Cameron was born to Daniel Wayborn and Patricia Oldstead, a financial analyst and waitress, in Kainaiwa. His father was a new, up and coming guy in the economic sector of the city, but brash, ego-focused. Cameron was in no way a planned pregnancy, he was the result of a one night stand. When his mother found out she was pregnant, his father cursed the fact but did decide to support her and the child. His father made some head way in the finance world when Cameron was very young, but he made a big mistake that cost a corporation lots of money, and lost his job. Blacklisted from every finance department in the city, the man took a poor-paid labor job, and they moved to a lower-income area. As most stories like this go, his father turned to drinking. In his twisted mind of booze-created logic, he blamed Cameron for the mistake, saying if he hadn’t had a kid, it would have never happened, and of course, that blame fell to his mother as well. Abuse became a regular thing, and this is when Cameron really took to his tinkering. Making his own playthings helped get over it, and keep his mind off the fact. His mother tried to deal with it, hoping that something remained of the man she’d grown to care for. One incident changed everything. He’d drank far too much and missed work, leading to losing the job. That night he took to it even harder, and immediately took to hitting his son and wife. In the chaos, a large stand fell on Cameron’s leg, breaking it. Patricia knew this was the final straw, taking Cameron and running. Getting him to a hospital, they fixed it as best he could, but unfortunately he would need a brace or cane to walk from now on. The woman took her son to Maliseet, to start anew, to forget about Daniel. She had always had a passion for the entertainment industry, and through a few hard years, was able to make some headway in the TV world, becoming a producer. Cameron was able to help keep them going, finding odd jobs around the city fixing things, making a little reputation for himself. Once old enough, he moved out on his own and started his own shop, doing work such as blacksmithing, gunsmithing, and fixing electronics.

Strengths: Intelligence, dexterity, craftsmanship. He can make or fix most anything, and is willing and able to learn about what he can’t. He can shoot well enough to defend himself, taking up some training in it after moving to Maliseet.

Weaknesses: Wants to constantly see the good in people, leads to a bit of naiveté. Has a lame leg, to get around his left leg has to be in a brace or he has to use his cane.


Weapon: Customized pistol he designed and made himself, but nothing too special about it besides that.
