Background

See Mirage/Lore for more story content.

“

The Djinn are one of the more curious groups of people in the modern world. Possessing great power in controlled doses, Djinn are incapable of maintaining corporeal form for longer than 48 minutes without resting within a vessel. As a result, most Djinn employ human bodyguards for transport, protection, and companionship.

Mirage is one such bodyguard. Employed by Djinn ambassador Nashala Dion, Mirage is in New York on a diplomatic mission. It's the hope of the Djinn that they can negotiate with the US government for a sale of part of Wyoming so that they can build a sovereign nation for their people.

Lore

Mirage is deeply loyal to Nashala. He enjoys his conversations with her, but also finds her "impulsive, short-sighted" decisions "frustrating".

Mirage finds some of the Djinn "fascinating", but others are "assholes".

Mirage likes to play bowling and calls it "the sport of kings". He learned it in England.

Character interactions

• Mirage asks Dynamo for a tour of Columbia University.
• Lady Geist likes Mirage and wants to talk to Nashala.
• Mirage has met Raven before and mentions a conflict between the Soviet Empire and the Djinn.
• Vyper wants Mirage to "stop yelling about the Djinn".
