===Summary===
===Summary===
A hermetic adept, mentored by Raven, Chameleon is focused on infiltration. He has very good language and disguise capabilities. Although he is not a full blown social adept he has good social skills. After six months in the Seattle shadows he has established a small network of friends and contacts. His inquiries into the death of his parents are slowly progressing, he's made a Red Vory contact in Seattle and is acquainted with Volk and The Bear in Minsk. Unfortunately he keeps making enemies. First the Ordo Maximus and then November 51.

Capitol Hill is a densely populated residential district in Seattle, UCAS. One of the city's most popular nightlife and entertainment districts, it is home to a historic gay village and vibrant counterculture community. Diverse Capitol Hill is packed with hip bars, eateries and gay clubs, plus laid-back coffee shops and indie stores. Volunteer Park, atop the hill in a historic mansion district, has walking trails, a plant conservatory, panoramic city views and the art deco Asian Art Museum. It abuts Lake View Cemetery, where the city’s founders (and Bruce Lee) are buried. Kids play in the wading pool at smaller Cal Anderson Park. The [[Volga Bath House and Spa]] is within easy walking distance and he goes Tuesday and Thursday nights when not on the job.

After four months in Seattle Chameleon had saved enough money to buy a Chrysler-Nissan Jackrabbit. Freed from the shackles of public transportation he is able to switch to live zazen at the [[Blue Heron Zen Community]] three days a week. He can easily drive to Tacoma for ballroom dance lessons from [[Naomi Fisk]] at Dame du Dance and now goes thrice a week. He is determined to master the five International Ballroom (Standard) dances: waltz, foxtrot, quickstep, tango and Viennese waltz. He is comfortable with the waltz styles and quickstep, the tango is still too intimidating. Foxtrot it is. Learning to competently dance as both partners is more difficult than anticipated. Luckily [[Katrina Smythe-Jones]] is a forgiving partner.

Character Information

Summary

A hermetic adept, mentored by Raven, Chameleon is focused on infiltration, both social and technical. He has very good language and disguise capabilities. Although he is not a full blown social adept he has good social skills. After seven months in the Seattle shadows he has established a small network of friends and contacts. His inquiries into the death of his parents are slowly progressing, he's made a Red Vory contact in Seattle and is acquainted with Volk and The Bear in Minsk. Unfortunately he keeps making enemies. First the Ordo Maximus and then November 51.

Goals

Long term: Stay solid with Naomi Fisk. Find out who is responsible for his parent's deaths.

Short term: Regain inner harmony through zazen meditation at the Blue Heron Zen Community.

Both: Avoid Ordo Maximus and November 51.

Background

Vladimir was 8 years old when he understood that his parents were spies. His father Boris was a CIA officer and his mother Mary worked as an analyst for the Department of State. A year later he awakened and life became very interesting. After graduating high school he enrolled in the University of Toronto's Department of Linguistics. Vlad received both a BA and an MA in linguistics. After spending the summer in post- graduation celebration he started serious consideration of employment...and then the notification came. His parents had died in a fiery car crash after being forced off the road by another vehicle as they returned to Kirov from Izhevsk. After contacting Bill Cooper, a colleague of his father, he learned that there were several theories about the crash. The first (and most likely) involved state action by the Russian government in a counter- intelligence operation. The most likely agency would be the UGB. The UGB has primary responsibility for both foreign intelligence and internal counter-intelligence. Moreover the UGB is notorious for employing counter- intelligence assassination teams. Another possibility is the MVD which has primary responsibility for internal policing and security. The UGB and MVD are bureaucratic rivals so it is possible that it was an op to upstage the UGB. A non-state actor was another possibility although that seemed less likely. There were no apparent connections to the Vory or any corporate interests. There was, however, circumstantial evidence of a racist attack based on mistaken identity. There had been a spate of anti-semitic attacks in the region. His parents (both red heads) were returning from the annual red-head festival in Izhevsk. Bigots may have believed that their hair meant that they were Ashkenazi Jews (who have a high % of redheads)

Narrative Significant Qualities

In Character Information

Capitol Hill is a densely populated residential district in Seattle, UCAS. One of the city's most popular nightlife and entertainment districts, it is home to a historic gay village and vibrant counterculture community. Diverse Capitol Hill is packed with hip bars, eateries and gay clubs, plus laid-back coffee shops and indie stores. Volunteer Park, atop the hill in a historic mansion district, has walking trails, a plant conservatory, panoramic city views and the art deco Asian Art Museum. It abuts Lake View Cemetery, where the city’s founders (and Bruce Lee) are buried. Kids play in the wading pool at smaller Cal Anderson Park. The Volga Bath House and Spa is within easy walking distance and he goes Tuesday and Thursday nights when not on the job. Mikhail Antonov greets him as a regular now.

After four months in Seattle Chameleon had saved enough money to buy a Chrysler-Nissan Jackrabbit. Freed from the shackles of public transportation he is able to switch to live zazen at the Blue Heron Zen Community three days a week. He can then easily drive to Tacoma for ballroom dance lessons from Naomi Fisk at Dame du Dance and now goes thrice a week (both MWF). He is determined to master the five International Ballroom (Standard) dances: waltz, foxtrot, quickstep, tango and Viennese waltz. He is comfortable with the waltz styles and quickstep, the tango is still too intimidating. Foxtrot it is. Learning to competently dance as both partners is more difficult than anticipated. Luckily Katrina Smythe-Jones is a forgiving partner. Tuesdays and Thursdays are devoted to combat training. Tuesdays he trains in Hapsum-Do at Veronica Saunders' downtown dojo. Thursdays he boxes with Mike Tunney in Bitter Lake.

On the weekends he relaxes. Casual weight training in the gym and swimming laps in the pool in the mornings, reading science fiction in the afternoon. When possible Saturday night is reserved for dinner & entertainment with Naomi Fisk at the Black Tie Affair. Sunday nights are random socializing with Quentin Alvarez and Katrina Smythe-Jones. He recently opened an office in the Zephyr-South Multi-Use building for his company, Clandestine Services LLC. He also rented an apartment next to Thun Field in Puyallup for storage of his modified Aeroquip M.E.D.-1 "Dustoff" Medical Evacuation Drone.

Symbols and Signatures

Derived from Zen Buddhism, the Enso (Zen Circle) simply means a circle or circle of togetherness. Traditionally, the circle is drawn with only one brushstroke and is one of the most common subjects in Japanese calligraphy. Chameleon uses Zazen to regain his inner harmony, his Wa. When stressed he sometimes chants Om Mani Padme Hum (praise to the jewel in the lotus).
