Character Creation and Discussion

A professional fortune teller, Sprout Simon currently makes his living in the Copper Kettle, a brew-pub run by a Hungarian family named Carl and Patrice Nemek. Deeply spiritual, they allow Simon a regular table in the back corner, Smokey and dimly lit, and it is there that he lives and eats as well. Most of his coin goes to them, and without ambition, he saves nothing, simply living for the game.

He has many regulars who for a few bob come to him for life advice. He reads the charms and tea leaves, and for the ambitious, he uses his special tarot deck. The sacred deck, acquired in a dubious game of chance with a dying necromancer, is his only prized possession, and so he only brings it forth for the right price.

Because his fae nature leaves him without material ambition, he does his best to help people see through their own biases and resolve their dilemmas. This occasionally and regrettably had led him into contact with the authorities, as most problems are mundane and require nothing more than the long arm of the law to resolve.

But he is magical, and his clients know that, too. So it is his particular curse that when they come to him with special problems, it is no good going to the bobbies for sanction.

Through this need, he has come across two agents from P Division, Patrick McGregor and Yanric Hahn.
