Kryptman comes from a prestigious lineage. While much more was expected of her, she still performs above expectations in her current position. That doesn't seem to be enough for her parents, which demand that she exceed her limits and become a corporate figurehead in Aztechnology hierarchy. Woedica isn't above using dirty tricks to get her way, and while she carries a heavy burden of family expectations, she's learned to internalize them as her own desires. Grown infatuated with the liberty of spirit affairs, she specializes in most things astral, finding mortals far more dull. Perhaps this is a form of escapism? Either way, she's a skilled mage with a frightening amount of resources at her disposal. Whether she'll lift a finger to help you, however, is a different story.

==Notes For A GM==
==Notes For A GM==
* Woedica doesn't take favorably on Awakened types telling her how 'blood magic bad' and so on. While objectively true, she's likely to hang up the second someone tries convincing her to stop indulging in it.
* Anything Woedica hears from runners might end up getting used in Seelie fae politics. This isn't her willingly giving up secrets, but her position as a Rider of the Hunt leaves her limited freedoms.
* She's relatively businesslike and relaxed instead of arrogant when talking to a runner, but has extremely high expectations when she pays for any kind of service. Anything less than perfect is likely to dissatisfy her.
* Behaves defensive on behalf of spirits of most types and will view hermetics, elementalists and poorly-behaving spectral wardens dimly.
* Hedonistic to a certain degree, if called during a run, one might hear sounds of a brothel on the other end of the call. She makes no attempts to disguise this.
* Can not and '''will not''' betray the Wild Hunt. It's a geas that she is unable to shatter.
* She's loyal to Aztechnology and will not betray them just because it'll get her short term gains.
* Having her on your list of contacts doesn't make the Wild Hunt summonable. Forget it, she's small time by comparison to Calchis.
* Hates Knight-Errant and will probably like your plan if it involves screwing them over. Probably because she thinks Ares is a bunch of meathead morons in one nice pile to spit at.

Overview

Kryptman comes from a prestigious lineage. While much more was expected of her, she still performed above expectations in her previous position. That didn't seem to be enough for her parents, which demanded that she exceed her limits and become a corporate figurehead in Aztechnology hierarchy. Woedica carried a heavy burden of family expectations and learned to internalize them as her own desires. Grown infatuated with the liberty of spirit affairs, she specialized in most things astral, finding mortals far more dull.

During the events of Reject Enlightenment Woedica volunteered to help the runner team as long as it kept her far away from Draco Foundation's interrogators and prodding researchers. This help came in the form of joining the Wild Hunt as a fresh recruit. Nowadays contacting Woedica is exceedingly difficult and more often than not results in failure, but the stories she can tell grow each and every time someone manages to summon her. Most often found near Yellowstone due to the park's permanent portal to the Seelie Court, Woedica's surrounded on all sides by fae politics and the only bulwark against the backstabbing intrigue that fae find so enthralling is Chalcis, the leader of the Hunt whom often cuts through the talk and gives the Hunt a clear target to ride after.

Notes For A GM

  • Anything Woedica hears from runners might end up getting used in Seelie fae politics. This isn't her willingly giving up secrets, but her position as a Rider of the Hunt leaves her limited freedoms.
  • Behaves defensive on behalf of spirits of most types and will view hermetics, elementalists and poorly-behaving spectral wardens dimly.
  • Can not and will not betray the Wild Hunt. It's a geas that she is unable to shatter.
  • Having her on your list of contacts doesn't make the Wild Hunt summonable. Forget it, she's small time by comparison to Calchis.
