Wayne Censi is a prominent member of the Chantry of War and Wisdom in Chicago. He is a longstanding member of the Akashic Brotherhood and is half satyr, due to his biological father's genes having manifested in him after a paradox event. This is the Fae blooded version of Wayne Censi. For the original New Orleans version, see Wayne Censi.

Description
Due to a paradox event, Wayne is no longer a normal looking human, instead spending most of his time as a satyr/human hybrid. As a result, he can appear in different ways, depending on where and when he is seen.
In his full human form, Wayne Censi stands at 5'8" with sandy blond hair reaching just past his shoulders that naturally sweeps backwards over his scalp. He has green eyes and tanned skin that bears a weathered and lightly scarred appearance from his various scrapes and battles with supernatural beings. In addition, his skin is heavily tattooed with dragons that form the 9 Dragons talisman, allowing him to perform many low level rotes with no effort of his own. He sports a full mustache and goatee while keeping his sideburns clipped to only his earlobes.
In his more common Satyr/Human hybrid form, he sports the same hair, skin and tattoos, but he has small horn nubs at his hairline, fuller body hair on his forearms and full on satyr legs complimented by a short tail. He keeps himself disguised as human by wearing exceptionally baggy pants and a toque, giving him a very skateresque look.
While in the spirit realms or the Fae lands, Wayne takes on the appearance of a full blown satyr, with horns reaching 6 inches as well as his tattoos looking alive across his skin. This can be disconcerting to those not expecting it.
Wayne's clothing is always loose fitting, and often takes a slight oriental bent to it, due to his immersion in much of the Akashic lifestyle. When geared for battle and not worried about who sees what, he'll forgo his skater disguise and fight as a full satyr, sometimes sporting the top half of an oriental gui.
Background
Early Years
Wayne Censi (Born April 3, 1978) was born in Denver, Colorado to Robert Allen Censi and Miranda Kristin Censi (Maiden Name: Reynolds). He has only one younger sister, Karen Nicole Censi. Wayne grew up both energetic and reclusive, having only a sparse few friends and his sister as company through his childhood. He was involved in Martial Arts from an early age, lending to an unusually strong fascination with Chinese culture.
All things considered, Wayne experienced a rather mundane childhood. Things in Denver never really changed from the norm, and though he grew up keeping to himself, he grew up healthy and developed a sense of needing to protect others, possibly due to having a younger sister. Wayne started working low paying jobs such as fast food and video store clerk shortly after his 16th birthday. He moved out into his own small apartment after turning 18, and shortly after his 21st birthday, his life would change forever.
Awakening
Wayne's Awakening started slowly in the day, but ramped up as it progressed. Mind Magick leaked out and transmitted his thoughts to others, causing him to lose his job when he thought insults at his supervisor. He took the time to blow off steam and visited a club known as the Hellfire Club. He met a young woman named Kathryn who appeared to have smoke wafting off of her body and clothing. After enjoying a decent evening of talk and dance with her, he took his leave and went for a stroll to clear the smoke and building headache he had acquired.
During the walk, Wayne was assaulted by three displacer beasts, large panthers with 6 limbs that phased in and out of visual sight. Wayne fought them off with surprising agility, and succeeded in killing all three of them and taking some teeth as a souvenir. He sustained severe lacerations to his arm and chest, which would scar permanently, and contacted Kathryn for a rescue.
Waking up in a bed with bandaged wounds, he found Kathryn tending to him while he healed. She introduced him to the world of Magick and got him pointed in the right direction for deciding a Tradition to belong to. Kathryn, it turned out, was a relatively powerful Hollow One. Wayne settled on the Akashic Brotherhood, and though his training took him in a different direction than Kathryn, the two maintained occasional contact.
The Other Side of Hades
Wayne spent another year in Denver before deciding to move to Chicago. He wanted a change of scenery, and it was closer to his parents and sister who had moved to St. Louis a couple years previous. He dreaded the cold, but through Kathryn had made some mage contacts up there that could secure him a job. He arrived and made his way to a place known as The Other Side of Hades, a nightclub with a penchant for being interesting beyond the norm.
He found the place enjoyable, and secured himself a position as one of the lead bouncers of the club. It turned out this club doubled as a chantry bearing the same name, and housed a half dozen mages on a regular basis. Led by a Euthanatos named Persephone, a cultist named Marcus, and sporting a Virtual Adept named Byte as the club DJ, it was an interesting locale. Due to the popularity of the club, supernatural creatures of all types were often found attending the club, and this led to many interesting problems.
One of the first major issues involved dealing with an awakened drug that was causing people to lash out in violent rages. The people affected didn't regard pain as they should, and fought as if they were on PCP, making it difficult to restrain them or move them out of the club before things got out of hand. Wayne and the other members of his cabal, the Hades Knights, worked tirelessly to locate and then remove the drug from the streets. This wouldn't happen before a potential mage took the drug. The young man entered the club on the annual night of Byte's sensational "special effects" performance which included massive amounts of magick that was rendered coincidental due to the throng of people watching. While Byte was floating overhead, the young man Awoke, then screamed as his Avatar exploded, sending shards of pure prime throughout the club. Byte was seriously injured in the process, and the Hades Knights were shaken at the danger this drug truly represented. They were able to clear the drug and its makers from the streets, and Byte survived the incident after immense amount of help from Persephone.
The Other Side of Hades also had to help fend off vampire attacks, rampant werewolves, and even a zombie attack, all while desperately trying to protect the sleepers.
Paradigm
Wayne believes, as many martial artists do, that his magicks stem from the internal energies of the body, mind and soul known as chi. He focuses his chi through various trinkets and articles he keeps on him at all times. At last record, his foci consisted of a time ring, Do movements, his martial arts sash, a displacer beast tooth, and meditation techniques.
