The Philosopher
Archetype: Human Mage Scholar
If anyone is fortunate enough to get a
glimpse of her they will see one of the most strikingly beautiful individuals on
the face of the earth. Then she will proceed to blow them away with her mind.
The Philosopher has been seen by few and rarely leaves
her dark mansion located just at the foot of mount Rainier. She spends
most of her time in the study and the remainder of her time engaged in
her elaborate and very sexual "bonding" ceremonies with Velena's
female students.
The Philosopher is a grade four initiate whom has developed a vast number
of rituals and spells which allow her to drain one person's mind into hers.
The participants become addicted and soon spend all of their time with
her until finally, in a grotesque display, The Philosopher bonds both physically
and mentally with the victim. If someone manages to penetrate her masking
ability she can be perceived as a astral entity with no body of her own
in the real world.
Velina
Archetype: Human Professor
Also beautiful, Velina teaches several philosophy classes
and is well known for her novel views regarding metahuman intelligence
and the soul.
Velina is addicted to The Philosopher's psychic drain and
is kept alive by her so she can coerce victims into coming to the mansion.
For the sake of her sanity she has shut out what happens to the victims
from her mind and will leave in the middle of the ceremony when one of
them is about to meet their death. She otherwise appears to lead a very
normal life, living by herself right off of campus.
Nancy
Archetype: Human Student
Beautiful like the rest, Nancy is a
Religion major. She speaks her philosophies with a ditsy voice which sometimes
cause people to not take her seriously. She is tall and blond and looks and acts
and lives like someone out of old Beverly Hills. She is greatly addicted to The
Philosopher's essence drain.
Linda
Archetype: Human Student
Red hair and green eyes, Linda is very
Irish. She is a Religion major and is well versed in the history and methods of
Druidic magic. She does not practice any magic, however. Linda is also addicted
to essence drain, but to a lesser degree than Nancy
Carolanne
Archetype: Human Student
A specialist in ancient cultures, Carolanne already has
a Ph.D.. in history and is going for a Masters in religion. She has brown
hair and brown eyes and remains relatively quiet most of the time except
during a heated discussion when she has been known to jump on tabletops
and scream her position. She is slightly addicted to essence drain.
Challus
Archetype: Human Rigger
Challus is dark and mysterious and is always dressed in
black clothing and always wears a black leather jacket and black boots.
Even at night he wears sunglasses and smokes a special kind of black cigarette
you can only get in a small town in Australia.
Challus is usually sent to pick up Velina and her students
in his limousine or will occasionally chauffeur The Philosopher into the
city when she wishes, although she lever leaves the vehicle. He also has
an Ares Dragon at his disposal which can actually land inside of the mansion
by flying through an enormous sliding glass door.
Incubus
Archetype: Elven Street Mage
Dresses solely in black and has custom made shurkins placed
at strategic and visible points around his clothing. He has long white
hair and perfect teeth which sometimes spark when he is casting a spell.
Incubus is in charge of astral security for the mansion
and has several elementals bonded to him for assistance. He is strictly
a combat mage and is also an initiate with a high centering skill (Ancient
Greek). He should be feared by any one smart enough to know how much a
force six powerbolt can sting.
Socrates
Archetype: Human Street Samurai
Socrates has a constant layer of scruff on his face and
has jet black, slicked back hair. He has a custom made suit of light security
armor which looks less bulky and more shadowrunnerish and wears four visible
pistols, a Predator and a Predator II, one of each on each hip.
Socrates was captured by The Philosopher
during an attempted theft and was quickly seduced by her. She soon had him
addicted to essence drain and manipulated his mind until he became very cold and
apathetic. He now feels almost nothing and remains at the mansion as security,
taking care of the occasional angry boyfriend who has come after his college
sweet heart.
Hannable
Archetype: Ork Mechanic
Sick from a persistent degenerative disease, Hannable never
leaves the garage of the mansion except to do occasional repairs on the
Dragon. He is old and weak and bleeds from his eyes and various skin lesions
sometimes.
Hannable maintains the large fleet of drones patrolling
the grounds around the mansion and also keeps an eye on his bank of surveillance
cameras. He is in constant pain and his moans can sometimes be heard at
night, echoing through the cavernous halls.
