Signature Assets [edit]
An old girlfriend was worried about Taz's family cutting him off from his trust fund - and she was wise to do so - so she set up a simple skimming hack whereby a fractional amount of every expenditure was deposited into a separate account. There's a fair bit of money in there now, and it's Taz's to do with as he pleases out from under his father's control. His father knows about this, of course, and is watching the account as another means of assessing his son's worth.
If it's vaguely fun and might get you killed for trying, Taz has tried it and loves it. As a result, he's accumulated a large collection of miscellaneous extreme sports equipment: a wingsuit, zero-G polo maneuvering belt, various sorts of SCUBA gear and rebreathers, climbing harnesses, all sorts of things.
Background/Bio[edit]
Tazwell Covington VI (sometimes he forgets and writes IV, which has caused some amusing confusion between him and his grandfather on legal documents on occasion) is the scion of the Covington ship-building and ship-breaking industrial dynasty. Raised in the lap of luxury in the Core, he discovered a marked fondness for adrenaline and a complete disinterest for anything school- or work-related. As a result, Tazwell V - who very much thinks of himself as a self-made man despite himself obviously being raised in the same position - has grave concerns about his oldest child.
