Overview

Killa is a member of the Order of Hospitaller Knights, originally from Los Angeles, PCC. Having lived through the repeated disasters that have torn apart Los Angeles, Killa has learned to survive through banding together with those she trusts. At the same time, she has learned the importance of reaching out to establish new trust - when the world itself might any day rend apart, it is the bonds between communities that allow life.

Inspired by the discovery of the Deep Lacuna, Killa dedicated her life to using her gifts to create new places for people to live and thrive. Her insistence on actually doing help led her to the Order of Hospitaller Knights, and she has since risen to become a prominent magical and parabiological researcher in it.

Her interest in field work and samples leads her to be somewhat involved with shadowrunners - the ones often on the field. Mostly, she simply pays them to recover particular objects or take measurements, but ones who have proven they won't misuse it might be able to negotiate for some of the Order's magical resources.

Aspects Description

Aspect	Description
For The Cause: OHK	The Knights are nothing if not dedicated to their cause. While charitable and happy to make friends, their resources are limited, and strictly allotted to those who contribute in turn. This contact's Loyalty cannot be raised manually. The maximum loyalty upon purchase or reward of this contact is 2. Loyalty can only be raised 1 at a time, and each raising requires the character to first complete a run on their behalf.
Unbending Morals, Trying Times	Members of the Order of Hospitaller Knights have earned their place in the organization through unflinching moral character. Learning that their work has been turned to evil ends or that they may have made an enemy of a major faction decreases any member's Loyalty by 1. If Loyalty drops to 0 in this way, the member will burn the runner in question. The contact is lost, and they will take -5 reputation with the OHK.
Hospitaller Errant	Killa travels aboard the New Rhodes - a former aircraft carrier turned home base for the Knights. As such, she may be anywhere in the world serving their interests. Every time Killa provides a service, roll 2D6, then subtract loyalty. The normal amount of time that it would take to provide the service is multiplied by the resulting number (minimum multiplier 1). Note: This aspect may not apply when performing services on behalf of the Knights at GM discretion.
Dreams Laid Bare	Killa is a full Magician, of the Quechan tradition. She is capable of providing services related to the use of magic and magical objects.
Sight Within Sight	The Quechan traditions hold communion with ancestors and a dream realm in high importance, and Qilla is no different. As a favor, she may be asked to perform a Divination using her Knowledge dicepool.
We All Lift Together	Quechan faith sees the 'shaman' less as the only one related to the spirit world, and more as the one with the talent to facilitate the connection for their tribe. Each and every member of their wider family is empowered by the dreams granted by the First Man. +2 to effective Connection when providing magical compounds or Health preparations.
Syncretism	Killa has been exposed to an enormous variety of belief systems between her life in LA and on the New Rhodes. +2 to checks related to religions, mythology, and traditions.
Claim the Cougar's Claws	Just like mundane scientists look to natural development for inspiration, so too can Awakened researchers. +2 to checks related to magical or awakened goods.
Tame the Cougar's Claws	But nature is to be respected as well, not merely subjugated for another gain. Else, how would it grow new inspiration? +2 to checks related to parabiology, parabotany, or shifters.
Wear the Cougar's Claws	The power of Man is to take on the powers of the world around them. Killa's research into the wild always keeps this fact in mind. +2 to checks related to biotechnology.
Definitely Not a Killer	She's already heard the pun a hundred times. Making it again won't make it funny. Besides, she's a biotech - her job is the *opposite* of that. +2 to checks related to medicine and drugs.
Indigenous Ascendant	As a semi-known symbol for Native Americans, Killa receives a bit of extra favor from the NAN and other aboriginal cultures. +2 to checks related to the NAN or to tribal societies.
