She rents a 100 square metre, 2-bedroom top floor apartment in an old building on 172nd street SW, not far from the junction with 36th avenue W in Everett.  It is not in the best of neighbourhoods, but due to the proximity of the Alderwood mall (only 10 minutes on foot) there is some security, as KE patrols the area around the mall to some extent.  She has also spent a bit more on good locks and a decent firewall for the home node.  Inside it is cozy with cheap but good furniture and some good AR paint.

James Dermott (Talistmonger)		3/1
Melissa Firebird (trid mage)		2/3

James Dermott: A 45-year old talismonger living near Lake Serene in Everett, he knows Eye from her Lone Star days.  She helped solve a case where he was the victim.  He has a small shop and while he makes some things himself, he buys quite a lot from corporations.  He knows a lot about magic in all of its forms and he also knows quite a lot of people in the magical scene of Everett and occasionally he gets mages in contact with fixers.

Melissa Firebird: A 31 year old human female adept, she a street cop who was taken over by Knight Errant.  They have worked together a lot during the tempo troubles and know each other quite well, also off-duty.

Physical Description: An average looking woman, she normally has long hair done up in a simple pony tail.  On runs, she often wears loose fitting clothes with armour.

background
Rachel was born as second daughter of a Lone Star homicide investigator and a supermarket worker.  While there wasn’t much room for luxuries, they still lived a comfortable life and their parents, even though they were working hard, tried to spent some quality time with their children.  Her childhood was quite idyllic until she turned 13.  During a fight on the school yard she was involved in she suddenly dropped one of the others.  The investigation after the event indicated that she was awakened as a mage.  She was put in a special program for mages in highschool and wanted to go to university.  But this was too expensive.  So Lone Star stepped in and paid for the courses in exchange for her coming to work for them after graduating.  She had no real problem with that, as she had always been intrigued by her father’s stories about investigations.

After graduating she went to the Lone Star Police Academy, where she was trained as a forensic specialist, although she did get the general courses as well.  After graduating she was placed in the homicide division in Tacoma. (regulations prohibited her from serving with family and her father was in Downtown).  It didn’t take long for her to see her first body.  That first case was pretty straight forward and the forensic evidence was only to support the confession they had gotten.

In the following years she gained a reputation as a good specialist who could find out very much with very few clues.  Her magical potential also continued to grow and she added spells to her repertoire that helped her finding clues, but due to the shortage of mages she would also due other things, like help with interrogations.  She wouldn’t be in the room itself, but she would be behind the mirror with a spell that would tell her where the suspect was lying.  She would then compare notes with the interrogator later.

When the tempo scare began in 2071, Lone Star put all resources on high alert.  Rachel was also part of this and while she still did mostly forensics, she did saw a lot of combat during this period, including a couple of raids on tempo dens.  She got a couple of spells to help her during those, including spells to drop raging tempo addicts.  But not all went well.  In May her sister went missing.  As she was family of two Lone Star people they did try to find the person responsible, but to no avail.  She did try to find her after her hours, even though it was against regulations for people to be involved in investigations concerning family it was often done and mostly allowed.  But in this case something went wrong and she accidentally contaminated a crime scene.  As Lone star had just lost the Seattle contract, she was fired because of this incident.  Knight Errant wasn’t interested in her, so she was let go.  Luckily for her mages were also wanted in the shadows as well and as forensic mage she wasn’t as well known as some street cops where.  Her training made her well suited for certain types of jobs and she also knew what she had to do to remove all traces from a crime scene, which she always did rigorously.

Bartender

3/2

Jodie Mason is the owner/operator of the small corner bar "Jodie's Place", Daniel's second home.  She is also the only woman to ever turn him down, preferring him as a friend.  (Yes, she is straight)  He is her protector and avenger, having dealt with a few 'issues' in the 'hood for her, she is his enabler and his entry into the Shadows, having introduced him to Max, an ex-boyfriend.

Beat Cop

3/2

Sgt Micheal O'Rielly is living example of the cop who got busted back to walking a beat after pissing off the wrong Knight Errant pencil pusher when he came over from the 'Star.  Daniel saved his ass one of his first days back on the street.  He is a drinking buddy and the reason Daniel hasn't ended up in jail more than once.

Club Owner     2/2

Cheri Ostler, the Alabaster Maiden.  She is a girl he knows. (see Seattle 2072)

Corporate Secretary     2/3

Fixer     3/3

Max 'Rhino' Reinhold, Troll ex-runner working the other side.

Forensics Expert     2/2

Dr Jennifer Lynn Hamilton.  She is a girl he knows from the Clubs.

---------------------------------------------------
Daniel Smiling Wolf is a full blooded Lakota Sioux.  He grew up living a charmed life of a small town sports hero in Montana.

Everything came pretty easy for him, his natural charisma and athletic ability combined with the magic that enhanced both, he was a happy and popular young man.

The 'happy' part came to a screeching halt for him when his parents were killed shortly after he came of age.  He was automatically granted a delayed waiver of his country’s military service obligation, but he turned it down and showed up for training as scheduled.  He seemed okay, but it was clear early on he was changed.

‘Smiley’s’ abilities caused him to gravitate towards the Wildcats, and he would have made it had it not been for an ill-advised and poorly executed dalliance with an older woman who happened to be married to his training company’s XO.  While this didn’t kill his military career, it was the first sign of what became a pattern in his life.  For the next several years, Daniel would prove himself capable and even heroic in all manner of high profile and dangerous assignments, then he would have some ill-advised situation, usually involving some combination of women, alcohol or fighting, that would derail him and then his charisma or friendships would pull him back from the brink.

His luck ran out when, while working security at STC HQ in Billings, he killed a man in self-defense, a man who happened to be married to a woman Daniel was seeing and who happened to an aide to the Salish Council representative.

He came to Seattle to hide and make a life for himself, but has not bothered to try and break his pattern of subtle self-destruction, if he is even aware of it.  He has found a niche as a face and hand to hand fighter, but has also become known on the party scene and usually blows through any money he makes as a runner.
 
Daniel seems like a friendly and happy person, and a capable member of a team.  He is also an alcoholic and living on the edge is the only way he has of dealing with his demons.

== Description ==
Hank is average height, thin--he prefers the term "wiry", and very pale. He keeps his hair cut in a short, military buzz. Small scars line his face, hands, and arms, most picked up from chunks of flying debris.

== Background ==
Henry "Hank" Kulakowski was born in 2034. 18 years later, he joined the UCAS army. Given his physical limitations, Hank was quickly placed in a demolitions squad, where he discovered an almost intuitive grasp of explosives and where they could best be used. Ten years later, he was showing a fairly green private the ropes when the private accidentally set off a shaped explosive. The private was killed almost instantly; Hank managed to escape most of the blast, but had to have his eyes replaced, and has never felt like his hearing has fully recovered. Forced into early retirement by his injuries, Hank decided to put his skills to use for whoever could pay the most.

== Concept ==
Ex-army demolitions expert.

== Notes ==
About the contacts:
John "One-eyed Jack" Correl: When Hank got caught in the explosion, Jack was the medic who patched him up; they became good friends afterwards. After Jack retired from the army in '66, he decided to lead a quiet life--but he can't turn Hank down if he's hurt.

Cheryl "Cherry" Harmington: Cherry was a whiz at logistics in the army--anything her fellow soldiers (including Hank) needed, she could get. Quickly. Food, ammo, a "spare" tank or two...nothing seemed to give her much trouble. Of course, since she wasn't supposed to be doing logistics, all of these acquisitions were through unofficial channels. Discharged in '67, Cherry found that her ability to network translated well to life on the shadier side of the street, and she's settled into a rather successful role coordinating the movements of supplies and merchandise between those who have, and those who are able to pay.

== Description ==
Rybka is a quite beautiful girl with a difficult to pinpoint ukranian heritage. Her facial features are strong and well marked, and her skin is very fair. Her blonde hair is so fair that it's of an almost white hue, which, combining with her skin, gives her a very outwordly "glowing" appearance. Her dark clothes usually make a nice contrast in that, and Rybka is a girl who dress to impress.

She also sports two tattoos on the back of her hands: on her right hand, she there's a black queen chess piece; in the left one, a white queen.

Avatars: Rybka's commlink has two Matrix Avatars loaded on it; one is her own: a girl with no particular features, completely white in color, which moves by fluctuating on the net and always appear to be moving against the wind. The other is the one she used on her days of being an EVO spider: A mechanic spider sporting the EVO logo on it's back.

En Garde: Rybka's taser "En Garde" is customized to have chess pieces engraved upon.

== Background ==
Thessaly Kasparova could have achieved quite the position on corporate life, instead of being a 'runner.

She started her coorporate life as a well-accomplished Corporate Spider from EVO Europa, working on some projects on the russian branch. It was not late that her analytical talents became knew, an she was moved to work closer to the Universal Grammar Linguistics Institute. But her progressive ascension put some people on the upper levels of coorporate control at an uneasy feeling, and she found herself unexplainable being put as a text subject for the Dickens Program; fearing for her Adept nature - she knew that some of the experiments of the project were quite intrusive in nature - she arranged for her extraction and fled to North America (being a former corporate spider really helped planning her earlier retirement). She still mantains some concealed contacts inside EVO, but as her exit was not on their good side, she keeps to the shadows.

The great thing is that; hey, a good spider and manipulator has plenty of opportunity in the shadows, you know?

== Concept ==
A female behind-the-scenes-mover with quite the ability to tread in the Matrix; in shorth, a modern Chessmaster.

== Notes ==
On the Contacts:
Daisuke Monomane (EVO Johnson) - Daisuke Monomane is a Japanese guy born on the UCAS, whose family has from some time now been into Yamatetsu. Thessaly knew him from some corporate meetings back in Vladisvostok.. It was Daisuke who made Rybka meet Mike as soon as she got into Seattle; he was a good friend, but they usually can't communicate: Rybka is still a EVO "defector", as to speak.
Mike "Gentleman" Aisle (Fixer) - The Gentleman is an ork of fine taste (at least to his own standards), who is only seem wearing the best suits one can find. Besides being a skilled negotiator, there are rumors that he is somehow linked to the Chonson Rings, but as far as anyone can tell, this tale does not hold water. The Gentleman can more easily be found in music bars in Seattle Downtown, but his hub is Club Infinity.

On her Lifestyle:
Stouffer-Madison Hotel Appartment (at the seventh floor, room 71; 7th Avenue & Madison Street) - Stouffer-Madison Hotel building is a nice place, but most people who live there can't stand the constant meeting (at least once a week) to solve communitary problems and set new regulations; Thessaly (or Regina, as she is know to them) find the meetings amusing, even though they make her spend her precious time there. Her appartment is one of the cheapest in the building - just because it's CHN apparently has some strange problems. In fact, there's a Xenosapient AI living there (Shallow-Fuchsia), which mostly cause small problems there, but once or twice challenge the current host to a game of chess (or Go, or any other game that by some quirk of fate caught his attention), only to surpreend himself on how a "simple human" can win time and time again, and plot revenge (usually by altering the shower temperature when Rybka is going to take a bath).

Rybka did not ignore Smiley approach and talk, it's just that she was interrupted by the others entrances, and in what seems like a very professional way went on to discuss bussiness before replying to him. But I hope the characters will have plenty of time to interact with each other afterwards. It seems like the situations will be interesting. 

[Crossbow]

Smiley understands, not sure how this is gonna work with two faces on the team, but it will be interesting. 

[Thvor]

Well, Hank's pretty happy with that response. And he figures he can stop the vehicles easily enough, given free reign on destructiveness...

[SeriousOne338]

Thought you'd like that.

[Netzgeist]

I have no problem about having surplus characters on some roles: my other game has three heavy Matrix specialties, and the team work quite fine as it is.

Also, the character fill the same niche, but seem to be really different; that has a lot of potential. 

[Thvor]

FYI, I'm going to be flying out to California tomorrow, coming back next Saturday. I'll have some internet, but I'm not sure how much I'll be able to post. Probably once a day at most.

[Netzgeist]

There are some PbF games here where people use this format to keep track of the most "volatile" information on their characters (health, wound modifiers, spent Edge and so on); I'm putting it here, in order for me to remember what's Rybka status when she is compeltely "clean".

Rybka
{Health: 0 / 10P and 0 / 10S damage, 0 Wound penalty, 0 Stun penalty}
{Edge: 0/ 4} {Initiative(Meat/Matrix): 7/14; IP's: 1/3}
{Wearing: Auctioneer Business Clothes: Ballistic Armor: 5; Impact Armor: 3}
{Bipolar phase: Stable: NO Modifiers}

[Marak1972]

Marak is chastising himself in his head -stupid rookie dreking mistake- -grumble grumble grumble-

[Thvor]

Hey, no worries. I doubt it'll cost them the contract--and Hank's definitely looking at the map for places to plant bombs, both IEDs to damage the hummer and demo charges to bring down walls/create rubble to block the streets.

I think we might be out of luck on the sniper side of things, though.
