Dylan Lewis
A gifted and ambitious DJ and music producer, small business owner and a dragon loyalist. Dylan had a terrible start in life with both of his parents being abusive and abandoning him at a young age. From there he went through many foster homes. He was moved often as mysterious fires would break out whenever he would have a nightmare or became angry. This was a side effect of his uncontrolled natural power building up without him using or controlling it in any way.
This all changed when a loyalist heard of this young man who was setting fires everywhere he went. They made a few phone calls and within a day Dylan was placed in a foster care group home for troubled children. Finally he learned that he was not just a freak, but instead inherited mystical powers that were causing all these fires. This was a pivotal moment in his life, but it would still take several years until he could sleep through a night without waking up from a nightmare.
Abilities & Skills
Motivation
Dylan is driven by his desire to make the most of his second chance. This second chance was given to him by his caretaker Valentin. Yet everyday is still a challenge to not dwell on his childhood and teenage years. His second motivation comes from his passion for music. He loves making music, listening to it and has found peace through it. Most decisions in his life are influenced by his desire to make and support music.Abilities & Skills
Most people today know Dylan as a good business man first, and a musician second. I sometimes wonder if he regrets not being able to focus more on his music, but at least his bank account is doing fine.
Dylan is very skilled at reading other people and understanding their intentions. In combination with a good sense for a buisness opportunity he has established several smaller companies.
Dylan is a warlock by birth. He has learned various spells to utilize these powers at college, but has only found limited use for them. His focus was in spells that are applied to digital music. This was a fairly new field and a lot of experimenting was necessary to build his skill set. His music enhances the mood and emotions of the people that listen to the music. What effect the music has exactly depends on how the music affects the person even without magic and then enhances that effect. The music cannot create emotions that are not already there.
This has of course some dangers as someone in a bad emotional state may have this state worsened by Dylans music. This means that if Dylan is playing his music in a public setting or with a large audience he always makes sure to not make the magic too strong. He often prefers to play his own music in smaller settings with only a handful of people who know what is going on and where he knows them and what effect his music will have. In the most intimate settings he has a few songs which often enhance arousal in the people listening to it.
The magical effects are embedded in the digital code and can be distributed. Though when copying the track the magic itself is not copied and the originals degrade fairly quickly over time. He has found a way to produce vinyl disks with dragon bone dust to prevent the deterioration to take place. They are highly priced amongst collectors.
Background
Grew up in foster care. Was sent from family to family until he was placed in Dragon Haven. There he finally found out why he was hearing voices. He learned that he is a warlock of unknown ancestry. Once he gained control over his innate powers and stopped setting stuff on fire on accident he was able to start coming to terms with his past.
He found a passion for creating electric music. He started to DJ and eventually make his own tracks. Eventually he figured out that he could use his magic to make the music even better. The music would become enchanting to anyone listening.
Education
He studied music and cyber witchcraft. This helped him tremendously in refining his craft and creating a network of contacts. Once he got his bachelor he needed to get out of school and do his own thing. He did not have a hard time completing the degree, but only put in the minimal amount of effort into grades as required.
Assets & Wealth
Dylan has accumulated an impressive amount of wealth for his age and humble beginnings. This would not have been possible without free loans of the loyalist bank. He owns the company which manages the dance crew Firestorm and runs a label which distributes mostly electronic and techno music. He makes some money from his own tracks, but is not as successful as he would like to be. He lives in an apartment in Manhattan that he owns which is a huge asset.
Relationships
Dylan has never been too popular, but everyone respects him for what he has achieved and his skills. Though, he still has a hard time fully trusting people and tends to do everything himself.
Dylan is currently single, but very active on Tinder and similar apps. Due to his wealth and attractive looks he fairly successful at dating, but fails to commit to a single woman for more than a few weeks. Often his work gets in the way as it keeps him very busy. Though sometimes he uses this just as an excuse. He is attracted to Raina Duran, but she does not seem to feel the same way about him.
Has a few good friends but very few are around for long. The crew of Firestorm respects him for what he does but they are not close to him.

I like Dylan. A DJ which studied music and cyber witchcraft to enhance his own music? Damn that rocks. Can imagine he is blowing them all away since he can enchant his listeners. Very good to read as well. :)
Thanks!
