Gotta step up to responsibilities I don't want

Background

A young boy on the streets, Joshua lived and learned under his uncle about the methods of how to repair, drive and improve cars, but more importantly how to treat your customers, to listen to them and talk to them in such a way that they'll want to come back here, rather than the other place two blocks closer to their house.

What Shaped You: Greeks Bearing Gifts

In every community there is a 'blacksmith' - someone who works with iron everyday, and is at the social center of the group. They are the first truly mortal line of defense against the Fae, and have a number of defenses against any harm that might be visited upon them by the Seelie or Unseelie courts. As a young mechanic, Joshua was the 'blacksmith' for Baltimore, even though he did not know it.

A Fae of the Seelie court decided to trick the mechanic, and first opened his eyes to the world alongside the mortal one, full of magic and strange wonders, and offered him a gift to enable him to explore it further. Jonas, curious, agreed, and was offered the 'gift' of magical talent, pure and powerful.

Now he can't go near his cars without breaking them. The only models he can work on or drive are obsolete and rare, and his skills have atrophied from lack of practice. Baltimore no longer has a blacksmith, and the Fae are free to begin incursions.

The Story:Down the Rabbit Hole

Having done research and investigations on the supernatural elements in the city, Josha intends only to find out just what happened to him, why and to fix it - a simple enough idea. But the Fae aren't too pleased with the idea of Joshua finding out what he was, and use outside agents to try and stop him, and in evading them he gets into even bigger trouble with the Council.

However, after Johnathon eventually saves him from danger brought by his obsession, Joshua eventually helps him by finding out the information that Jonathon needs to blow the affair open.
