Backgrounds

Avatar 2// A serpent still sleeping.

Blessing 2// All Sphere 1 sensing effects are permanently switched on and need to be rolled to shut down.

Legend 1// The Serpent of Aesculapius

Resources 3// Runs a fairly successful nightclub and tattooing business, although her liquid assets are less than they should be because she's still paying off the original loan on the club.

Talisman 4// The Ouroboros Record

A symbiotic entity made of ink and ideas that swims through her body, it contains all of her past and present tattoos and allows her to reflexively conceal, display and arrange them at will. This is mostly an ancillary power that allows An to get many more tattoos than a person should, as the artifact's main purpose is to contain an Ecstatic primer etched into her body by her one-time mentor, Tolahi Andrews, before he died a few months later. The foundations of the tattoo are mirrors of An's experiences beginning in ignorance of the mystical and her process of learning during her journey throughout Asia and Polynesia alongside her cryptic master.

Permanent Life 3/Matter 2 effect, conceal, store and display any tattoos obtained at will.

Ecstatic Primer (Arete 1 only), can be concealed by the above.

Merits and Flaws

Merits

Acute Sense (Vision)// -2 dif to Awareness and Alertness rolls involving vision, and 1 sux to vision-based sensing spells.

Black Market Ties 2// Can easily obtain guns, low-level fake IDs, high-tech software and special ammo.

Jack of All Trades// Has a floating dot in all Skills and Knowledges.

Nightclub// Owns an extremely successful nightclub in the gentrified East End of London, that adds ~600 GPB (1000 USD) per week to her income. Also a place to meet contacts and has a studio space for tattoo work.

Spark of Life// Heals aggravated naturally, all healing times are much faster, and this effect can be shared by touch. All Life effects that heal, restore, nourish and enhance are at a difficulty of 2.

Flaws

Addiction 1// A casual tobacco smoker that can't quite kick the habit, but has compromised by rolling her own cigarettes instead of buying from huge evil corporations.

Enemy 1// Once ran afoul a young Tzimisce who was able to steal quite a bit of blood from her and might have become obsessed by the taste of her blood in the aftermath.

Primal Marks// Sinewy, graceful and speaks with a darting tongue and hypnotic gaze. Oddly enough, people tend to assume she knows medicine.

Ward// Has been taking care of her mentor's son, a teenager from a relatively isolated island who has taken to the London nightlife (living with the owner of a reputed nightclub notwithstanding) with careless gusto.
