- - - - overall personality, Harland is the type of person who likes to talk, and make casual friends, but has difficulty allowing people past that point. He likes to keep himself out of the greater limelight, but can and will step into it if he feels it's necessary. He sees running as a necessity to raise the funds to get out of New Haven, feeling no real interest in the politics of the city. He's from a large family and can exhibit something of a big brother complex to those who he truly trusts. He does have a tendency to be what some might call "spacey", with his minder wandering off topic and sometimes to truly bizarre areas.

[/color],[/b] Harland is from a large family who have struggled to stay afloat more than most. They are very dear to him and he wants nothing more than to do them proud and take care of them if he can in anyway. His mother and father are divorced with Harland growing up with his father, and acting as an unoffical secondary parent to his two brothers and three sisters. His youngest brother and two youngest sisters are from his father's second marriage.
- - - - overall history, A good old boy from Florida, Harland was essentially duped into coming to the city by some very enticing college opportunities. Upon arriving, he learned that the sites were in actuality a ring of extortion schemes set up to snatch up easy money in the form of college fee payments. With barely enough cash to live in the slums of the city and no hope of making it back home without some serious green, Harland has found himself forced into some less than savory jobs. He sees Running as a means to an end and has at best apathy for the goings-on in the city and at worst outright scorn as it is the easiest target for his irritation at being jilted out of a college education.
Harland has been making ends meet in this way for a few years now and is growing increasingly desperate to find a way out of New Eden, even as he begins to doubt such a thing exists. Through all of this, he's never had any real problems with being a Runner, seeing it as nothing more than a weird sort of mail service. He understands that there is the potential for very delicate or dangerous things to be the item he's asked to deliver, but so far has found nothing worth all the commotion that the term "Runner" generates in New Eden.
- - - - motivation, He is embarrassed and ashamed of the fact that he was duped out of his college funds by an online scam site and has made it his mission to get himself back on track. He needs to raise the money to get out of New Haven and eventually get back to college so he can properly take advantage of the opportunity for a better education and thus a better career.
- - - - other, He hates the nickname that has haunted him since a motorcycle accident that left him with a bad scar. He always prefers Harland or Harl, though "Swoop" has a way of haunting him in a way that makes him half wonder if somebody branded the nickname on him.

__dear mr. tomms

you sure have had a difficult past few years, cheated, chased and chucked all around this city, it seemed like the runners were the only choice for you HARLAND TOMMS. but don't worry, it was the right choice.

my name is DRAKE, you may have heard of me, i made quite a reputation as of late. you should know something. don't get a big head, you know the runners, but you are oblivious to the inner workings of this city, i pull the strings, you are representing me now, and i know everything that you do. if you do something that will tarnish our name, you won't last.

now is the time to pick a group, who will you choose? the family values of the reds or the material success of the greens, or maybe you won't join one and be a free lance, it's your choice, just remember, ill be watching.

happy running

__DRAKE__
