Nice character Sentinemodo.

With his negative qualities he has the survivability of a juicy seal in the annual shark convention, but to me it looks like one giant plot hook (and I know that GMs love those)

As for getting your character into the group, using the friend of a friend method, I have a smuggler contact that can serve as your point of entry if you wish.
As for what my character will do during the week.
-watch news sites for new developments
-maybe chat with some friends on said sites (Eddy?)
-go to a wine tasting event organised by one of the sites about wine she's subscribed to.
-see if JJ (my smuggler contact) is in town and if he is, invite him to go to a club (OOC: keep his loyalty rating up).
