Background
Ryan Boseman was born the only child of a wealthy East Coast businessman and his eccentric ex-faux-psychic bride. Ryans childhood was one of relative luxury and ease, going to all the best schools in the country and always remaining at the top of his class, both in terms of academics and popularity. His academic scores and family name were more than enough to send Ryan to one of the top Ivy-League schools in the country.
Aspect: Suckled on a Silver Spoon
Rising Conflict
About a year ago, Ryans life changed forever when he discovered a tarnished looking lamp while wandering along the shoreline near his college. He knew from his studies that it was ancient and the language on it was an Arabic dialect. Considering it a prize find, he took it back to his room to clean it up. After digging into his library, Ryan was able to translate the inscription. Rubbing the lamp for comedic effect, Ryan spoke the words aloud with a grin. A blinding flash of light and a crack of thunder later, Ryan found himself face-to-face with a beautiful young girl. This would serve as Ryans introduction into the world of the supernatural and as the first time he would meet his soulmate.
The genie was bonded to Ryan, since he was the first to free her from the lamp. He named her Jeannie as a joke, but the name stuck. She told him of how she used to be a human girl hundreds of years ago and used her wishes granted by a real genie to become one herself, in order to escape her life as a slave. The genie granted her wish, but trapped her in the lamp and flung her into the ocean. For the past several hundred years, Jeannie was floating around aimlessly, weakening in power and without ever seeing another being.
Ryan and Jeannie quickly became something more than just friends. She had no interest in his money or his family name and she had never experienced the kindness and warmth that Ryan showed her. Jeannie posed as Ryans townie girlfriend for the rest of his college years, although she lived in the lamp that he always carried with him.
Aspect: I Dream of Jeannie
First Novel: The Jean Genie
After finishing college, Ryan and Jeannie take a trip down the East Coast to celebrate. Jeannie senses something out of the ordinary in the small town of Willows. Ryan stops to investigate and the two take up residence in a deluxe hotel suite, determined to get to the bottom of the mystery. Noticing the rising number of logging incidents, Ryan and Jeannie set out to investigate. They uncover a gang of Red Court bikers roaming through the town and preying on loggers, which the pair quickly put an end to.
Aspect: So Cϋl!
Guest Starring: Monsters in the Woods Starring: Austin Lake
After meeting Ryan and Jeannie, Austin agreed to take the young lovers in a long hike to check out the nearby sights. How was he supposed to know about the werewolf pack that had taken up residence in the forest? He'd never seem them before that day.
Rather than battle with the wolves, Ryan suggests that they compel the pack into a slumber with Jeannie's magic, allowing the group to escape safely back to town.

Invoking/Compelling Aspects:
High Concept - Rich Kid with a Genie Girlfriend
Ryan was raised in an upper-class household and only became involved with the supernatural when he discovered a magic lamp on the sea-shore. The genie of that lamp is now the love of his life and his constant companion.
Invoke: When Ryan uses his money or her magic to solve his problems.
Compel: Whenever Jeannie or his money makes Ryan's life more difficult.
Trouble - Two Against the World
Although Ryan's parents love Jeannie and can't wait for the two to settle down, Ryan and his genie are essentially outcasts in the supernatural world. Without a group to support them, a young man wielding the power of a genie is bound to attract a fair amount of attention from some of the less savory residents of the Nevernever.
Invoke: Whenever Jeannie and Ryan work together to overcome an obstacle.
Compel: Whenever Jeannie's power attracts a new bunch of bad guys who want to steal her away.
Suckled on a Silver Spoon
Ryan was raised in the lap of luxury and has grown accustomed to the finer things in life. His gear is usually the latest and the most advanced, he only stays in deluxe suites and he's never eaten a cut of beef that wasn't filet mignon in his life.
Invoke: When Ryan digs into his cache of luxury goodies or he accesses one of his many overflowing trust funds.
Compel: Whenever Ryan's less-than-strenuous upbringing leaves him ill-prepared for a task.
I Dream of Jeannie
When Ryan met Jeannie, it was love at first sight. She loved him for the person he was, not for his money. He loved her for being honest and genuine. Since that day, they've always stood by one another's side.
Invoke: When Ryan's mutual love with Jeannie could prove beneficial.
Compel: When Ryan's love for Jeannie causes him to act irrationally without thinking.
So Cϋl!
Despite his popularity in school, Ryan was always a nerd at heart. He loved reading comic books and fantasy novels. Ever since he began his life with Jeannie, his life has felt more like a storybook adventure than he ever thought possible. Sometimes this childlike appreciation for the supernatural allows him to see things in a way most jaded occultists couldn't conceive of. Other times, it causes Ryan to rush headlong into a nightclub of vampires because "That's so cool!"
Invoke: When Ryan's nerdy knowledge or supernatural naivete aids him in some way.
Compel: When Ryan's wonder at the supernatural world makes him rush into a situation based solely on it's 'coolness' without thinking it through.
Not One for Fisticuffs
Ryan is a lover, not a fighter. Although he played sports in school, he never really learned to fight. Kids don't pick on you when the family's bodyguards are ex-Spetsnaz and your chauffeur wears Kevlar. As a result, Ryan rarely jumps into the fray. Instead Ryan relies on his quick wits (plus some of Jeannie's magic) rather than on brute force.
Invoke: When Ryan needs to think his way through a problem without resorting to violence.
Compel: When violence really is the answer.
A Whole New World
Jeannie was just a mortal slave-girl hundreds of years ago before being transformed into a genie and being trapped in her lamp at the bottom of the ocean. The world has changed immensely since then. Her time with Ryan has helped her adapt to the current way of the world, but she's still a girl very much out of her element. She's comfortable with Ryan and loves him dearly, but often her ideas of how the world works are very different from the rest of society.
Invoke: Whenever Jeannie's knowledge of the ancient world or Ryan's passion for exploration come into play.
Compel: Whenever Jeannie's unfamiliarity with societal norms is a hindrance or she tries to 'help' Ryan in a potentially disastrous way.
