Tempest Hamilton

Player: `Marie

Name: Tempest Hamilton
Codename: The alias you go by in costume.

Age: 18
Height: 5’6
Weight: 127 lbs
Hair: Black with blonde streak
Eyes: Green
Nationality: Caucasian

Occupation: Student

Appearance: Tempest is slim pretty girl with an athletic build, she has bright green eyes, full lips, and her skin is fair almost pale from years of sticking to the shadows and the dark. Tempest’s hair is naturally solid black but she does have a strange streak of blonde that she thinks she may have added herself at one point.

Picture:

Personality: Tempest despite her name is fun, bubbly, loves to be around people… and it just so happens that she is batshit insane! Tempest spent years and years with no one else but the creatures that her powers summon so her mind is not always there

Background: Tempest’s powers activated at the young age of 7 and needless to say suddenly being able to summon little monsters or vanish into darkness did not go over so well with her deeply religious and strictly catholic parents who quickly called the priest at the local church to exorcise the girl. This of course did not work since genetics aren't really a thing that can be exorcised and got the attention of a local group of mutant haters who descended on her house like a biblical plague of locusts in the attempt to kill the demon child and causing little Tempest to panic and summon a horde of her new friends. The resulting clash left many dead including Tempest’s parents and most of the horde she had summoned. Tempest fled using her powers to take her away from the ghastly scene. What followed was almost a decade of stealing and sneaking around to survive with only her new friends as company for a good 5 years. This kind of company eventually lead to madness and paranoia with a sprinkling of sociopathic tendencies. Tempest soon learned despite her madness that people were willing to pay and give her cool things in exchange for her skills at getting into places she shouldn't which she thinks is both silly and a really fun game. Thus has been her life for eleven years until now when she found a group of other “gifted” people.

Origin of Powers: Mutant

Powers: Tempest’s powers link her to a dimension of immense darkness which provides her with some surprising abilities

Summon- Tempest can summon three different creatures from this dark dimension that are telepathically linked with her to the point of her being able to see, hear, or smell what they smell will follow her commands. To summon the creatures there has to be darkness or a shadow which to call them from.

Fairies: These look much like a twisted fantasy of their namesake and are about 2 to 3 inches tall, have tiny wings which it can use to fly around, and a mouth full of razor shark teeth. They are not very strong being able to lift small things like jewelry or coins and are fragile to the point of being killed by a hard slap of a strong person.

Gremlins: Earned their name thanks to a resemblance to the creatures from the classic film. They are about 2 feet in height, have some wicked teeth and claws, very quick and agile. They are sturdier and stronger then the fairies but are only about half as strong as a average person and can be killed by pretty much anything that would kill a human.

Brawlers: The gremlins big brothers, they are about the same height as their counter parts but have a thick bone exoskeleton which provides them with some much needed protection but makes them slower and less agile then the gremlins but what they lack in speed they make up for in power since they are about twice as strong as an average man. Brawlers are harder to summon and Tempest can only call a very limited amount of them at a time

*Swarm- Tempest basically sends a wave of her fairies at a person which is not only terrifying but like being hit by a massive swarm of wasps

*Scout/Spy- Tempest can send some of her friends ahead of her to scout out an area to give her an idea of what they may run into

*Horde- An attack of last resort because of the strain it causes, Tempest summons a massive group of her friends and lets them run wild!

Shadow Walking- Tempest can teleport via shadows or shadow walk as she likes to call it. This is pretty self explanatory, basically she can walk in one shadow and walk out of another anywhere within a mile radius and can take a single person with her if she wants.

*Side Step- Tempest has long since learned to use her powers when dodging and can jump into a shadow if one is available to avoid an attack

*Sneak Attack- Tempest can come out of a shadow suddenly or send a couple of her friends to attack unsuspecting people. Can be used inconjuction with side step so instead simply dodging, she comes out behind the attacker or one of her friends do.

Dark Sight- Tempest can see even in absolute darkness.

Equipment: Tempest tends to carry a pair of dark goggles as well as several back ups because of her issues with light, she also carries a full set up of burglary tools such as lock picks.

Weaknesses: Tempest is of course insane and is not going to react to things the way normal people do at times, to Tempest up is down and left is stop sign so in intense situations this can cause complications. Tempest is highly intelligent but she basically stopped going to school when she was seven so while she can read pretty well and can do very simple math, she has almost no formal education. Tempest and by extension the creatures she summons are very sensitive to light, meaning that even ambient light or the normal light of a room is uncomfortable but bright light or sunlight is blindingly painful meaning that they either has to keep to the shadows or wear eye protection. Tempest's powers are linked to darkness and she needs darkness or shadows to summon her friends or teleport. The creatures that Tempest summons can communicate with her telepathically even to the point of her being able to see, hear, or smell what they smell and they will listen and follow her orders but they are naturally mischievous and malicious so they will go out of their way to cause trouble and mayhem even in the course of following orders.


Contacts: Tempest has access to large number of less then savory contacts in the criminal world that she can contact for assistance though it normally comes at a cost.

Knowledges: Tempest has extensive knowledge of security systems and things that she has learned over the years in pursuit of her craft.

Skills: Tempest has had ten years to master sneaking around and stealing making her supremely talented in stealth and theft. Tempest loves to draw and is very talented with it even if her prefer method is the use of crayons. While she tends to let her friends do the physical stuff, Tempest is moderately skilled in fighting with her hands and knives.

Notable Notes: Anything else you feel the need to mention.

Origin of Powers: Mutant

Powers: Tempest’s powers allow her to reach into and project from the world of her own psyche. Due to her life, they also let her reach into somewhere she shouldn't be...

Psychometabolism- Tempest's powers let her draw energy from the otherwise untapped realm of her own mind. The gives her slightly superhuman Endurance. If her powers are negated she has Good(10) Endurance.

Psychoprojection- Tempest can project things from her own mindscape. Alternatively, she may route these projections through the heavily psychyoactive dimension known as 'The Other Place', though she does not realize that is what she is dealing with. Either way, her power is well-developed at Spectacular(50) rank.
*Summon- Tempest can summon fantasy creatures. Tempest does not understand that these creatures are fabricated by her and do not actually exist somewhere; she thinks she is calling them from their world. Each creature has an MH cost, and she cannot call forth more MH than the rank of her Psychoprojection ability. Whether she draws them directly from her mind or through The Other Place has a significant effect on the outcome. Tempest cannot summon at a whim; she has to have a very clear and detailed concept of her creature and these take a long time to form. The creatures are sentient to varying degrees, but some do not have MH scores. Summons may not have Reasoning scores better than Tempest's own.
**Shared Senses- Tempest can see, hear, feel, etc. what her summons do, and they can experience her sensations. She may also telepathically share simple concepts with them, though anything more complicated requires verbal communication.
**Summon Speech- Tempest speaks a language that her summons understand; they speak it as well and she understands it. She cannot teach it to other people and attempts to decode it only provide dreamlike gibberish.

**Seelie Summons- These creatures come completely from Tempest's mindscape. She can summon them anywhere in her line-of-sight, however, they are generally not very potent. They are aware and they think, but they have no desire to betray her and follow their own designs. In fact, to even get them to do anything 'bad', Tempest has to roll Psyche against them. Tempest can banish Seelie Summons any time from any where. To summon an Unseelie, Tempest must roll Psyche for each creature (or swarm) she wishes to summon.

Hit Points[/b]: 7
Mental health: N/A

Description: Pixies are tiny winged humanoids, only a few inches tall. They have colorful hair, skin, and wings, and are perpetually happy and energetic - unless upset, when they prove to be very emotional.

Powers:
*Flight- Pixies fly on butterfly wings at Feeble(4) Air Speed (10 MPH)
*Pixie Dust- A pixie can scatter or shoot little bits of glitter. These have positive effects, generally cosmetic, that are minor to the point of being irrelevant. A single pixie can do virtually nothing with its magic.

Weaknesses:
*Fragility- Pixies are tiny and fragile, and have only 10% of the HP they should based on their stats.

Pixie Swarm - 15 MH
Description: A Pixie Swarm is made up of roughly 10 pixies.
*Flight- The Swarm flies at the same speed as an individual.
*Pixie Dust- En Masse, the pixie dust can have slightly better effects. They can change the color of an object, create a brief illusion, clean or make minor repairs to an object, or other similar effects. These effects are always positive.
*Strength in Numbers- A Pixie Swarm has 70 HP, and hitting an individual member of it requires a Called Shot. The swarm gets +2CS to evading attacks, as it is mostly empty air. Damage from an area-of-effect attack is multiplied by 10 before being applied to the swarm. Otherwise, the Swarm has the same stats as a single pixie.

Description: Brownies look like squat, shy people about two feet tall. They tend to have somewhat cartoonish features, but are generally cute and friendly. They tend to wear clothes reminiscent of the early European working class, and often appear equipped with the tolls of whatever job they like to do. They like to be helpful, making things and doing chores - but do not like attention and work better when unobserved.

Powers:
*Crafty- Brownies can make things. Insufficient tools, time, and materials can all be replaced with an expenditure of MH. A pair of shoes is 5 MH, a glorious ball gown is 100 MH; it varies depending on what needs done, but multiple Brownies can work together and share the cost.

Weaknesses:
*Shy- Brownies really do not like attention, and cannot abide negative attention. Being observed gives them a penalty to all rolls based on the relationship; someone they like is -1, someone they know is -2, a stranger is -3, and someone that doesn't like them or that they do not like is -4. If too much excitement happens around them, they have to roll Psyche or poof back to where they came from. Negative attention directed at them does physical damage depending on the attention.
Note- at this point they 'like' Tempest when she is being nice, but are not comfortable enough to work around her with no penalty.

Description: A Dwarf is 4-5 feet tall but weighs about 200 pounds. They have thick limbs and broad shoulders and beards. They do not like to fight, but generally do so with their fists when they must. Unlike most Summons, the Dwarves speak English and can communicate effectively with people other than Tempest. To a person not interested in worrying about it, they can pass for human.

Powers:
*Natural Armor- Dwarves get Poor(6) Armor versus all damage.

Weaknesses:
*Slow- Dwarves get -2CS to rolls involved in trying to outrun someone.

Hit Points[/b]: 90
Mental health: 54

Description: Tempest’s elves are tall and beautiful, hovering just under 6 feet unless she wants them shorter. They wear fine clothes appropriate for whatever they were summoned for. Elves are the only Seelie Summons that will engage in combat without a Psyche roll. They come with a shortsword that lets them attack for their Strength in lethal damage.

Powers:
*Stealth- Elves get +2CS to rolls made to hide anywhere, even in plain sight.
*Elfen Magic- Elves can cast a few spells.
**Light Orbs- For 2 MH, an Elf can create a floating orb of light. This illuminates a radius of 5 feet, and can be directed to anywhere in the elf's line of sight. They last until the elf banishes them or until the elf that made them is banished.
**Open Door- For 10 MH, an Elf can unlock a door they are touching. Protective spells, or fancy electronic security, may require the Elf to make a Psyche roll. If they fail, they lose the MH and cannot attempt that door again.
**Golden Dust- For 3 MH, the Elf can make some golden glitter. This spills across the ground in a 5-foot radius. it clings to things, is attracted to energy and supernatural things, and is easily disturbed so it easily highlights air currents and small openings.
*Caste- For the same price as a basic Elf, Tempest may summon one with a specific set of skills.
**Warrior- The Warrior gets +1CS to Fighting and Agility, and a longsword instead of the shortsword; this does +1CS damage. They also have a feather-light armor that gives them Good(10) Armor versus all damage. They have 100 HP, however, they have no MH and cannot use magic.
**Sorcerer- The Sorcerer gets -2 to Strength and Endurance. They gain offensive magic - for 5 MH they can cast a ranged attack spell. This has a range of 30 feet and does whatever sort of elemental damage the caster wants, though it must be of some element. They have 72 HP.
**Ranger- The Ranger has a bow that does Good(10) damage with Good(10) Armor Piercing. They may also roll Intuition to track things that normal humans would not be able to follow.

Weaknesses:
*Pure- Extreme evil presences make Elves sick. Unseelie Summons, while not evil, also aggravate this. They get a penalty to all rolls while in the presence and prolonged exposure will damage them. Warrior-Elves are resistant but not immune to this, and do not take damage from it.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

**Unseelie Summons- These creatures are created by Tempest's mind, but form in The Other Place instead of her mindscape. This makes them more powerful, but darker. Unseelie summons must appear in a shadow or dark place; they cannot be summoned into the light. They are more intelligent, and have their own ideas and motives hat are not always in line with Tempest's. They will do more or less anything she wants of them, however, they will also do things of their own and Tempest must roll Psyche to stop them. Unseelie summons can banish themselves, but Tempest must be looking at them to banish them. If the creature does not want to go, she must roll Psyche.

Mental health: 64

Description: These look much like a twisted fantasy of their namesake and are about 2 to 3 inches tall, have hornet-like wings which they can use to fly around, and a mouth full of razor-sharp shark teeth.

Powers:
*Winged Flight- Faeries fly Typical(8) Air Speed (40 MPH).
*Natural Armor- Faeries have Shift0(2) Armor vs all damage.
*Natural Attack- A Faerie's natural attack does Strength +1CS slashing damage.
*Faerie Dust- A faerie can toss out golden dust. This has two sorts of effects. Firstly, it can have minor compulsory effects, suggesting people behave a certain way to objects or each other. Faerie can roll Psyche at -2CS vs the Psyche of a person it has dusted to suggest something to them. A suggestive object makes the same roll against those who trigger it. Secondly, it can have transformative effects, though these are always unpleasant to the victim. The Faerie targets an Attribute and rolls Psyche at -1 versus the victim's Psyche. If the Faerie beats the victim with a Yellow or better, they get a transformation that gives them -1 to the targets Attribute. A person may only suffer from one such transformation at a time. It fades after one hour, or until the victim destroys the faerie.
*Darkvision- Able to see in the complete absence of light.

Weaknesses:
*Fragility- Faeries are tiny and fragile, and have only 10% of the HP they should based on their stats.
*Bright Light- Bright sunlight (generally normal sun exposure between 6AM and 6 PM), or extremely bright light from other sources, gives Faeries -1CS to all stats. Additionally, they take 1 point of damage each round that ignores their Armor.

Faerie Swarm - 30 MH
Description: A Faerie Swarm is made up of roughly 10 faeries.
*Flight- The Swarm flies at the same speed as an individual.
*Faerie Dust- En Masse, the faerie dust can have stronger effects. Suggestions are rolled at +2. Transformations are rolled at +1, and give -1 on a Yellow with normal color mods. If the victim deals 9 or more points of damage to the swarm in an attack they may roll 1d10; on a 10 they kill the faerie that got them. They automatically get this if they kill the whole swarm at once.
*Strength in Numbers- A Faerie Swarm has 90 HP, and hitting an individual member of it requires a Called Shot. The swarm gets +2CS to evading attacks, as it is mostly empty air. The swarm also has +1CS to Strength. Damage from an area-of-effect attack is multiplied by 10 before being applied to the swarm, but after Armor. Otherwise, the Swarm has the same stats as a single Faerie.
*Swarm Attack- The Swarm rolls Agility against an enemy's Agility to engulf them. If a character is engulfed at the start of their turn, they take Remarkable(20) damage. After taking this damage, they get -1CS to Armor or Natural Armor as the faeries whittle away at them. When the victim has an Action, they may roll Agility versus the swarm's Agility to escape. If they do not do this and move, the swarm moves with them, however; if a character can move faster than the swarm they may choose to spend their turn running away from it and this is an automatic escape.

Hit Points[/b]: 58

Description: Earned their name thanks to a resemblance to the creatures from the classic film. They are about 2 feet in height, have some wicked teeth and claws, very quick and agile. They are sturdier and stronger then the fairies but are only about half as strong as an average person and can be killed by pretty much anything that would kill a human. Gremlins only speak one or two words at a time, however they can repeat English words they have heard.

Powers:
*Natural Armor- Feeble(4) Natural Armor vs all damage.
*Natural Attack- Strength +1 CS damage; slashing for claws and piercing for a bite.
**Sneak Attack- After sneaking up on someone unnoticed, a Gremlin can make a single attack for double damage.
*Climb- Gremlins can climb on any surface that is not completely smooth.
*Glitch- A Gremlin can spend 10 MH and roll Psyche +3CS to cause a malfunction in a device. If the device has a technology rating, it may roll that in defense.
*Force Multiplier- A curious Gremlin can spend time examining a new object. Once it understand it, it can equip it to itself and adjust its stats appropriately. This generally has a net positive effect.
*Darkvision- Able to see in the complete absence of light.

Weaknesses:
*Bright Light- Bright sunlight (generally normal sun exposure between 6AM and 6 PM), or extremely bright light from other sources, gives Gremlins -2CS to all stats. Additionally, they take 5 points of damage each round that ignores their Armor.
*Distracted- When Gremlins see something interesting, they must roll Psyche to avoid investigating it. On a Green they spend one round investigating it, on a White they spend three rounds, and on a Blue the Gremlin either destroys itself with the object or otherwise becomes unavailable. Once investigation is done, however, if the Gremlin has had time to understand the item, it activates its Force Multiplier ability - though in this case it may have a net negative effect.

Hit Points[/b]: 110
Mental health: N/A

Description: The Gremlins' big brothers, they stand about six feet tall and have a thick bone exoskeleton which provides them with some much needed protection. What they lack in speed, they make up for in power. In their own language, they communicate slowly but better than Gremlins. In English, they have a maximum capacity of one word per Bugbear.

Powers:
*Natural Armor- The bone-like armor of a Bugbear gives it Good(10) Armor versus all damage.
*Weapon- Bugbears come with a melee weapon of Tempest's choice that does Strength +1CS slashing, piercing, or bludgeoning damage.
*Scent- Bugbears can roll Intuition to locate or track things by scent. They can follow a scent given to them like a bloodhound, or detect a scent on their own.
*Darkvision- Able to see in the complete absence of light.

Weaknesses:
*Bright Light- Bright sunlight (generally normal sun exposure between 6AM and 6 PM), or extremely bright light from other sources, gives Bugbears -1CS to all stats. Additionally, they take 5 points of damage each round that ignores their Armor.
*Sun-Blind- In light that activates their 'Bright Light' weakness, Bugbears are blind. They do not have the mental capacity to benefit from eye protection. However, due to their scent ability, the penalty for blindness is reduced by 1CS.
*Obedient- Bugbears do not think for themselves well. If Tempest rolls Psyche to command them and scores the same color, even if their roll is higher, she wins. If she rolls a White, the Bugbear must still roll against her. They have this weakness against another sort of entity as well...

Hit Points[/b]: 80

Description: The Dark Elf has skin black as the night sky and red eyes. It otherwise physically resembles a regular elf, but with a dark and unsettling, yet charismatic, personality. Dark Elves are extremely intelligent, and always have their own agenda. Despite their intelligence, they only speak their own language and like normal Elves cannot communicate in English.

Powers:
*Stealth- Dark Elves get +2CS to rolls made to hide anywhere, even in plain sight, excluding areas of Bright Light.
*Casteless- A Dark Elf comes with a Warrior Elf's longsword, a Ranger Elf's bow, and can cast a Sorcerer Elf's magic. The energy attacks are shadowy and do not activate their Bright Light weakness.
*Elfen Magic- Elves can cast a few spells.
**Light Orbs- For 2 MH, a Dark Elf can create a floating orb of light. This illuminates a radius of 5 feet, and can be directed to anywhere in the elf's line of sight. They last until the elf banishes them or until the elf that made them is banished. The have to be within 10 feet of an Unseelie to activate the Bright Light weakness.
**Open Door- For 10 MH, a Dark Elf can unlock a door they are touching. Protective spells, or fancy electronic security, may require the Elf to make a Psyche roll. If they fail, they lose the MH and cannot attempt that door again.
**Golden Dust- For 3 MH, the Dark Elf can make some golden glitter. This spills across the ground in a 5-foot radius. it clings to things, is attracted to energy and supernatural things, and is easily disturbed so it easily highlights air currents and small openings.
*Dark Elfen Magic- Dark Elves have a few unique spells.
**Darkness- For 5 MH, the Dark Elf can make an area so dark that the Bright Light weakness will not activate except from the noonday sun or extremely bright artificial light.
**Deep Darkness- For 20 MH, a Dark Elf can make a 10 foot radius sphere of complete blackness centered on themself. This lasts for 10 rounds.
**Command- for 10 MH, Dark Elves can roll Psyche to command another unseelie summon (or faerie swarm) as Tempest does, so long as it is not already under the effect of Tempest using this ability.
*Intelligence- Dark Elves are exempt from the Reasoning rule - they are smarter than Tempest.
*Darkvision- Able to see in the complete absence of light.

Weaknesses:
*Bright Light- Bright sunlight (generally normal sun exposure between 6AM and 6 PM), or extremely bright light from other sources, gives Dark Elves -3CS to all stats. Eye protection can reduce this penalty by 1 or 2, depending on the protective item. Light does not damage the Dark Elf.
**Negative- Positive energy and pure, innocent emotions trouble dark elves. In sufficient quantity, they can sicken, weaken, damage, or even banish the dark elf.

Note: Dark Elves will virtually never agree to be banished, and with their ability scores they are virtually impossible to banish. They will attempt to manipulate Tempest and her powers to their own designs. They are very dangerous and she should never summon them.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-


*Panic Summon- In a single act of panic, Tempest can do a special mass summon. Each MH she spends doing this counts as 2 for her summoning. She may only do this once in between good nights' rests. Panic-summoned Elves do not have castes and Bugbears do not have weapons. Dark Elves cannot be panic-summoned. She cannot control or banish creatures summoned this way.
**Double Panic Summon- If Tempest has not done a panic summon since her last rest, she may do this more extreme version. She gets -2CS to all Attributes and loses 10 HP. This otherwise functions like a normal Panic Summon, except every MH point she spends counts as FOUR. The summoned creatures are quite aggressive.

Monster Under the Bed- An undefined, unknown, unsummonable Unseelie creature lurks at the back of Tempest's mind. Its stats vary but its motives are the same - protect Tempest, and only Tempest. It reaches out from the shadows with power and fury in times of great danger and everyone but Tempest is a potential victim.

Shadow Walking- Tempest can teleport via shadows or shadow walk as she likes to call it. This is pretty self-explanatory, basically she can walk in one shadow and walk out of another anywhere within a mile radius. In truth, she is traveling through The Other Place. She can take people with her, but each passenger halves the distance.
*Side Step- Tempest can roll Psychoprojection to fall into a shadow (and into The Other Place) within 5 feet to avoid an attack, instead of rolling Fighting or Agility. The first success evades all further attacks. She must spend an Action on her next turn to come back out, or two to step out of a different shadow with her Shadow Walking ability.
**Sneak Attack- Tempest can come out of a shadow suddenly and make a single attack at someone within 10 feet of where she comes out of. She gets +4CS to this attack. She cannot send other people through to do this attack.

Dark Sight- Tempest can activate an ability to be able to see even in a complete lack of light. However, when this ability is active, she gains the Bright Light weakness of a Dark Elf.

Lucid Escape- A strange twist of her powers that does not involve The Other Place, in a horrible panic Tempest can escape into her own mindscape. She cannot do this intentionally, and the GM decides when it happens. Once it does, she ends up in a bizarre world of her own dreams and innocent imagination - very much unlike the world where her Unseelie Summons come from. Getting inside your own head is difficult, but getting out is even moreso. Once she is safe, she may roll Psyche to escape - she needs a Yellow or better. If she fails, she can try again the next day, and the next, until she is out. She reappears in any safe place she is familiar with.

Equipment: Tempest tends to carry a pair of dark goggles as well as several backups because of her issues with light, she also carries a full set up of burglary tools such as lock picks.

Weaknesses:
*Insanity- Though intelligent, Tempest is certifiably insane. She has trouble with logical, rational thought. When rolling Reasoning for normal logic, she get -2CS. She does fine with abstract logic.
Note: Tempest does not have this weakness in The Other Place.

*Uneducated- Tempest is highly intelligent but she stopped going to school when she was seven. She has normal grade-school education and can do basic math, but history and scientific concepts and other medium-to-high learning is lost to her.

*Bright Light- Tempest is sensitive to light. Bright sunlight (generally normal sun exposure between 6AM and 6 PM), or extremely bright light from other sources, gives her -1CS to all stats except Psyche. This can be prevented with heavy eye protection, though that gives her -2CS to sight-based Intuition rolls. Unlike her summons, Tempest's weakness is purely psychosomatic.

*weakness- Tempest's powers are linked to darkness and she needs darkness or shadows to summon her friends or teleport.


Contacts: Tempest has access to large number of less than savory contacts in the semi-criminal world that she can contact for assistance though it normally comes at a cost.

Knowledges: Tempest has extensive knowledge of security systems and things that she has learned over the years in pursuit of her craft.

Skills: Tempest has had ten years to master sneaking around and stealing making her supremely talented in stealth and theft. Tempest loves to draw and is very talented with it even if her prefer method is the use of crayons. While she tends to let her friends do the physical stuff, Tempest is moderately skilled in fighting with her hands and knives. She knows how to pick a lock and crack a combination lock, though this does not extend to a safe.

Notable Notes:

The Other Place is a psychoactive sub-dimension most notable for being accessed by the New Age member, Null. It is a dark black world with an open sky - with nothing ever nearby and yet hollow buildings and strange shapes always visible on the horizon. Many things are backwards in there, including the way some people act. Tempest thinks this is merely how reality looks from the other side of the shadows; she does not realize it is an entirely different world, or that others can come and go, or that she is not alone in there...
