Grand Nagus Group: Members Posts: 3,757 Joined: 27-July 04 From: Wild Wonderful Member No.: 6,518	Ok McQ here are my contacts [ Spoiler ] Fixer: "Jax" Jack Hogan Age: 50 Race: Human/caucasion/Australian Description: 5'10", 220 lbs, Barrel chested, greying brown hair Current Location: Downtown Seattle JT's Notes: One of my first contacts when I moved to Seattle, he showed me the ropes as a bounty hunter. Jax retired from chasing down bounties about four years ago, but stayed in the business as a fixer. With 25 years in the field, Jax has created himself I nice list of contacts. He always knows who is hiring, who is working for who, and where to find just about anything. LoneStar Detective: Detective Tak Morgan Age: 43 Race: Ork/caucasion/Californian Description: 6'7" 280lbs, Well built, always dresses nice Current Location: Downtown Seattle JT's Notes: Being on the force in California, I knew Det. Morgan when he was still a sergeant with the patrol unit. While we weren't exactly friends, we did look out for each other there in CFS where racial tensions were high. They hated him for being an ork, and a smart one at that, and me for being a 'groggy' as the full blooded magicians called me. He transferred to Seattle a few years before me, where persecution was at least a little lighter. Once I moved to the Northwest, Tak and I have reconnected, both being able to help each other in our respective fields. Private Eye: Thomas "Tommy Gun" Gunther Age: 37 Race: Human/caucasion Description: 5'9", 170lbs, dark but slightly greying brown hair, usually has a good five o'clock shadow going, dresses like the 1920s-30s detectives, usually smoking a cigar and carrying a flask JT's Notes: He dresses the part of old gangster stalking detective, but don't let that fool you. Old Tommy Gun is well aware of what century it is, in fact he is quite a technical wizard. Most of his antique looking equipment and decor is just well designed, and highly priced, outer shell for everyday things. That big old dust collecting radio in his office has a lot more to it than you would think. The bar there is actually aged properly, and well stocked. It makes for a nice atmosphere to relax, smoke a couple expensive cigars and drink a few cocktails. veterinarian: John Doolittle Age: 30 Race: Elf/black Description: 6'1", 190lbs, Confident young man, always kind and has a way with people as well as animals JT's Notes: First thing I did after arriving in Seattle was to find Kane a good doctor. It took me a couple months before someone referred me to Dr John Doolittle. Not only was he the best vet i've ever had for Kane, but he is also a very honest hard working man. He cares as much for his patients as he does their owners, and always goes out of his way to help someone in need. Military Surplus Dealer: Sam Washington Age: 65 Race: Human/caucasion Description: 6'0", 260lbs, fat old man, always wearing flannel or fatigues, often wears fargo styled hunting cap and suspenders JT's Notes: His store Rocket Surplus, mostly sells old fatigues and MRE's, that sort of thing, mostly to young street punks, but it's a living. He may be a grumpy old man, but he can get you what you want. It will cost you, not nuyen-much worse. You're going to have to listen to one of his old Indian War stories. Back in his day--- Please God shoot me. Talismonger: Kira Howling Dog Schaunters Age: 28 Race: Human/Native American Description: 5'8", 140lbs, long dark hair, often dresses in Native American styled-yet modern clothes, dog shaman JT's Notes: Looking for a good Talismonger was even harder than finding a good vet. Two years ago I finally met someone I could relate to, another dog shaman. Granted she is quite young for a talismonger, but she is as intelligent as she is beautiful. She runs one of the shops her father owns, this one being in Tacoma. I have thought of pursuing a relationship with her, after all she too follows the dog totem. That in itself says a lot for her personality, but there is so much more to her. Even the mundane can sense her soothing aura when she enters a room.

I never explicitly stated that or updated my character sheet (which should also give Edana 942 instead of 42, 900 starting cash).

Team--What is everyone else doing? There was talk about a decker contact and a street doc...Does Graves have anyone he wants to call or things he wants to do?

Lightsare on in one bedroom of the Rectory but the curtains are drawn so you doubt anyone is spying on you. The street is clear.

The back-up plan Group: Retired Admins Posts: 8,423 Joined: 15-January 03 From: San Diego Member No.: 3,910	Sparky--Can I get some concrete understanding of what you're telling Herne to do and some rolls for any tests, please?

HeySparky View Member Profile	Oct 5 2004, 09:45 PM Post #188
Neophyte Runner Group: Members Posts: 2,077 Joined: 14-September 04 Member No.: 6,658	Was writing that up and got sidetracked. I'm not actually sure what Herne can do, but I want him to look for Spirits, for strong emotional leavings, for wards, spell residue and report back what he finds. Stealth (Defaulting to QCK): 10 10 04 Honestly, why do I have any skills at all? Astral Perception: 11 05 05 04 03 01

The back-up plan Group: Retired Admins Posts: 8,423 Joined: 15-January 03 From: San Diego Member No.: 3,910	Is he stealthing around? Was the astral perception yours or his?

Neophyte Runner Group: Members Posts: 2,077 Joined: 14-September 04 Member No.: 6,658	McQ -- Yes, he's stealing about... Is there astral stealth? I should have gotten that. Or is that Masking? Hey - good news - my copy of MitS came in today. I'll be significantly less ignorant soon... hopefully. :) Also - make the checks Edana's as Herne has different physical stats. Ecc - Thanks. I think we've got a really good mix of folks. It'll be fun to come together as a team. Herne - Steath (default to QCK): 09 08 05 05 05 02 Perception (INT): 05 05 04 03 02 01

Canon Companion Group: Members Posts: 8,021 Joined: 2-March 03 From: The Morgue, Singapore LTG Member No.: 4,187	Sorry for the late reply, McQ. Grave calls up his Fixer and Ex-Military Officer contact. Originally I had envisioned both to be ex-army. The Fixer was ex-Intelligence and the Officer was ex-UCAS NBC Warfare, now working for CDC. But as you posted above, they weren't fleshed out, so run with them. If you do not think, any of the contacts are suitable, then Grave does not call them. BTW, I think Graves has enough cash for a cell phone. I can't believe I forgot that! :D

The back-up plan Group: Retired Admins Posts: 8,423 Joined: 15-January 03 From: San Diego Member No.: 3,910	Sparky--Masking is a metamagic technique taken from initiation (One way of raising your magic attribute to master greater forms of Magic) Astral stealth is a specialization of Stealth...therefore it will Def to Qck or you can use the Stealth skill. Toturi--I will flesh them out as I need them, you've given me something to run with so we'll build off of that. Tanka--No worries, what did you want Debian to look for?

Running Target Group: Members Posts: 1,353 Joined: 5-June 02 Member No.: 2,840	I only have a couple things for fleshing my contacts out: Arms Dealer: He's the guy through which Helios gets his special ammo (oak-jacketed, iron, and silver rounds) Street Doc: Knows how to treat magically-active patients without harming their magical ability. Other than that, go nuts :)
