Bowl’s out. As it stands we have two nimbles, a tough and a gifted.
Shall we proceed with the four?

I think I'm a freelancer. There's some dark web sites that people can post hit contracts and I pick and choose the ones I want to take.

I'll swap to a smart to round us out. I was waffling on that anyway.

Ok, I got Brydon updated to be a Smart. It's really tough figuring out where to put my one low stat! I dumped Willpower, which I think makes sense for his predicament. I also added some more details to his background to support these changes.
He works as a garbage truck driver in the morning (knows the streets and the city pretty damn well!) and at night, between drinks, he's working to piece together all the shady dealings of the city. At first it was all about corruption, but the spiderweb has grown to show there's a whole lot more going on - more than he ever thought could be real.

Everyone looks great. My ass is beat today, so I won’t start us today. I guess the last question is:
What was your first interaction with the supernatural?
For the Tough, maybe facing the supernatural was just another Tuesday.
How about everyone else? What opened your eyes to… all of this?

I was fulfilling a hit contract when the target didn't die from my sniper round. They got up and had blue blood splattered on them. I am pretty sure they were one of those lizard people who can change their appearance to look like humans.

Sorry guys the week has been rough -
Lucille Rayner has never really enjoyed rules. Bouncing between foster homes from a oung age, she learned how to read people and use that to her advantage. Wehile teenage years involved sprees of petty theft and just being a nuisance, she learned it was fair easier to convnce someone to give her something than to take it.
Practicing sleight of hand as well as confidence tricks she prefers to get by going for to various establishments and amazing, or tricking, people out of their money.
Then she picked the wrong target, lifting the wallet of someone while she distracted them with a flashy card trick. Only to be tracked down later by said target in a much more monstrous form later that evening, les than pleased with her.
That moment shattered her perception of the world, not just that monster's exist, but that she was in fact one of them as in her terror she managed to generate some sort of psychic barriers to defend herself from what would have been a deadly blow. She fled leaving the city. Her target turned hunter however turned out to be a member of an organized crime group, and not willing to forgive any slight even as minor as a lost wallet, forcing the her to keep and eye out and constantly move from place to place.. which wasn't too different from how she lived before hand.
------------
Who did you mess with that you ended up regretting? - Alexis Cosgrave, a werebeast who it turns out, did not appreciate his wallet being stolen. Punishing any slight against him or his crew, while she is not a top priority he would very much appreciate Luccille dead, as a message to others.
Did you have your powers before the incident? - She did but up until then had only been using them subtly, improving her own slight of hand abilities, and charming others into liking her.
Did the incident lead to the realization you had powers? - Yes, revealing she can generate psychic force fields. Since the incident she's been experimenting and now as more control hover her other ones as well, which she uses to her advantage.
Are they still a feature/problem your life or was it a momentary issue? - While not being actively hunted, she does have to keep checking over her shoulder, as Alexi does not appreciate sleights against him going unpunished, and a contact may see turning over her location as a way to gain a favour.

Is it ok for him to not have DIRECTLY encountered any of this yet, but to have him be absolutely certain of the supernatural world through his investigation and studies - having enough indirect evidence that he feels he knows what's out there but is only about to come face to face with that world soon enough?

What was your first interaction with the supernatural?
Galaine was a young boy at a remote monastery in 12th century England where one of the monks read an ancient text he shouldn't have. A dark power was loosed, possessing the cleric, who proceeded to murder everyone in the monastery -- except Galaine. The boy fought off the black-eyed, grinning monk for a time, but as the fiend was about to end the lad, he instead marked his cheek with a yellowed talon and smiled. "Not yet," the thing had said. "In time, boy, but not yet."
That night was a terror for Galaine. His former master slaying the brothers at the monastery, some of those brother rising up later, haunting the place until a group of holy knights arrived to cleanse and consecrate the place. It was those knights, from the Order of the Third Christening, who took Galaine in... and who set him on the path he treads to this day.
I'm thinking this entity is the Mayor, C1NDER. That work?

So has Galaine learned modern English? Did you decide how long he's been in the modern day?

Whatever works best for the story. Even if he's a recent arrival I don't see playing up an inability to communicate being terribly fun. But I'll try to give him a terrible Hollywood accent, without going too over the top. I guess I've been seeing him in the present for weeks or months, at least -- enough to have encountered the others, found a place to live (a van), made a friend, already fought some monsters, etc. But literally wide open on making adjustments as necessary.

I’m liking how everything is looking so far! I’m sure everyone’s done it, but those weird items could be good opportunities for roleplay.
I think the game might have legs. Working our way up to the mayor seems like a nice objective. Let’s stretch our legs out first and see how we like it!
