SPARKNOTES
PUBLIC INFORMATION
  • Henry recently graduated from an all-boys private school called Aglionby Academy in the fictional town of Henrietta, Virginia. [Think D.C. suburb - exclusive, historical charm for families with money and influence; a somewhat neglected rural hamlet for those without.]
  • His father owns an engineering company that develops robotic bees, currently headquartered in Hong Kong.
  • He has an older sibling and a younger sibling.
  • He is known for being a student activist. He's passionate about democracy and equality.
  • He drives an electric car: a silver/chrome Fisker (um, a replacement for the car he destroyed before this) (he is a nervous driver, ok)
  • He likes partying and all kinds of music.
  • He has modeled and may have photoshoots floating around in magazines, who knows.
SECRET INFO
  • Henry is telepathically linked to a magical robot bee. Called RoboBee. As a robot it can interact with most computer systems (phones, cameras, etc), as a little drone it can fly around and observe its surroundings, and as a magical item it can communicate with Henry within a certain distance (about a block). He usually has it with him, out of sight, and uses it as an assistive device for translating this thoughts to the outside world.
  • His mother is an international crime boss who deals in art, antiques, and magical artifacts. She is psychic and terrifying and pragmatic. She calls herself Seondeok.
  • Henry works for her. He was in Virginia to give her an excuse to establish a point of contact with a recurring supplier. And to investigate the magical capabilities of his classmates. He got too attached to the mark.
  • Once, at 10yo, Henry was kidnapped for ransom by some men who wanted to get their hands on Robobee. He was help captive for 5 days. He's still a little claustrophobic.
WORLD INFO
  • Magic exists. It's energy is concentrated where it flows along ley lines across the globe.
  • Ghosts, too
  • Some myths are true, others are questionable.
