Okay, so I realized that there was something terribly wrong with Priest. I didn't realize when I created him that spells and foci had a cost in nuyen as well as BP. I had to completely re-create him mechanically to account for this. I figured as long as I was recreating Priest, I might as well recreate him entirely. Therefore I present to you Smiles Twice, who I think fits the tone of this particular game much better.
--------
Name: Fernando Reyes
Alias: Smiles Twice
Metatype: Elf (30 BP)
Appearance: Smiles Twice was once a relatively handsome elf with bronze skin, brown eyes, a messy, curly brown hair. Many years ago, however, he received a slash across the face, fighting for the Chulos. The cut ran from the corner of his mouth all the way up to the base of his left ear, giving Smiles Twice a hideous, lopsided smirk. This grisly scar is naturally where he gets his nickname.
Background: Fernado's specialty is smuggling a very specific type of cargo: people. Using magic in combination with his natural stealthiness and unctuousness, Smiles Twice earns profit for the Chulos gang by getting people through otherwise-tricky borders, or by taking them out to undeveloped wilderness to lie low from the law.
Fernado's magic is intuitive and natural to him. He believes he derives his power from slaying wild animals and subsuming their dying spirits into his own. Understandably, Smiles Twice is an avid hunter, and he has an almost unhealthy zest for fighting paranormal creatures in particular.
Smiles Twice is mentored by Snake, who considers Smiles' resourcefulness and ruthlessness to be great assets. Snake taught Smiles Twice the secret of binding spirits, which he used to abuse many of the beast spirits he was so fond of hunting. This has earned him the ire of the beast spirits, and Snake was quick to admonish him. Smiles Twice has tried to be more prudent with his binding since then, but he still tends to treat his spirits like slaves... except for his watcher spirits, which he treats with uncharacteristic gentleness, as though they were his pets.
Smiles Twice is sort of a newcomer to the gang, but he has proved himself loyal time and again. Still, he is relatively inexperienced, and has gained his position mostly thanks to his magical talents and a bit of luck.
