He's gotten better about his compulsions, and is always on edge when he's not looking his best. He also isn't the biggest fan of fast acceleration and fast driving, they make him... queasy.

Appearance

Clothing

Funk sports an Urban Explorer Jumpsuit, because he thinks it helps him stay non-descript. Whether that's true or not, it makes him feel better.

Matrix Persona

On the matrix, Funk's persona is a music note, two eighth notes connected together with a stem.

Character Plot Hooks

Here are characteristics of the character that GMs may take advantage of to add complications to runs, or to otherwise use when in use. If you want to use them in unrelated to runs, please ask first.

Aspect Information Related Run(s)
Did I just work for the Black Lodge???? Funk may have unknowingly sided with the Black Lodge, a similarly "nefarious" magical group, or perhaps just a mage who has killed before. Since he has no magical knowledge, he doesn't know whether this puts him on magical groups' radar or not, but he's definitely sweating it a little bit. See Ignorant to the Flame for more info.
Am I a real girl? Funk helped recreate the persona of a young girl named Annabelle by diving into the Resonance Realms, specifically the Mind Realms. He managed to get all of the components of her "self," but time will tell if their work brought all of her back (as a personafix.) See Fixing Annabelle for details.
