Hall Castor's Questionnaire

a small suburban home in Georgia, outfitted with a load of cheap voice-activated tech and unnecessarily-automated appliances. he lives a few neighborhoods over from his parents, since he couldn't bring himself to move too far from his hometown. it's a typical suburban area, streets lined with practically identical homes and practically identical families Hall can't be bothered to get to know. he isn't on the greatest of terms with his parents, but they're family, and they do routinely toss pieces of their disposable income at him, so he'd feel a little shitty if he just up and left. the cult gig makes him a fair bit of money, but most of that goes into buying more extravagant technotheistic memorabilia.

he makes most of his money through payments to his online tech support forum / esoteric cult known as Omnissiah's Devout. these payments are pretty rare, usually only getting one every few weeks, but the few consistent buyers pay big for homemade software and hardware made by himself utilizing loosely-understood occult rituals. to put it bluntly, he makes computers with ghosts in them, and helps bugfix/exorcise said ghost computers. legally, these are normal computers manufactured to religious specifications, but there's a notable increase in the capability of a system after having said rituals performed on it. naturally, for hardcore PC gamers who cream their jorts for 120fps 8k gameplay, this is easily worth the exorbitant cost and routine paranormal issues and necessary repairs that result from said computers having a spiritual presence inside them. he spends most of the money from this on the newest and flashiest technology for personal and professional use, as well as in-game currency for an MMORPG he plays from time to time. he's not a picky eater and tends to subsist on cheap meal-kits to save more money for tech.

generally just wants to blur the gap between himself and the technology he works with, going for a sort of warhammer-adeptus-mechanicus type vibe, with cybernetics and machine assistants and all that. on a grander scale, he feels a little bit of shame regarding how easy his life was in comparison to others (getting his start primarily from his family's money), and wants to give as many people (and machines) as possible more opportunities to do something greater. primarily just eliminating the notion that the circumstances of one's life have bearing on what they can do with it. his motivations for this are strong enough that if necessary, he would die to fulfill this goal, but it's unlikely that he would kill just for his goal alone. if the person had made it clear they would kill others for reasons he deemed inadequate, and was already standing in the way of his ambition, he'd probably be motivated enough to do it.
