Overview

Rex is a domestic cat who Awakened, with magical powers that have yet to be fully realized. He was originally owned by a geriatric Human woman named Martha, who made him miserable as her old age caused her to push his boundaries and not understand his cues. This misery caused him to Awaken while he was being catsitted by Martha's grandson (and member of SAMA), Ash. This resulted in the events that transpired in Cat Burglar. Now, he will go with any of his contacts on their escapades as a travelling companion (NOT PET) so he can see the world. He can telepathically communicate with anyone in his line of sight, letting him be able to "speak" without actually talking.

Personality

Rex is a vain, narcissistic feline. He believes he is superior to anyone and everyone he meets, not unless they do something spectacular to impress him. He's very blunt and unempathetic to strangers, though if they're genuinely emotional that facade will fall. People he grows close to (loyalty 2 or higher) will generally receive a "softer" version of him compared to his rough-and-tumble persona. He will admire any fellow daredevils who take risks for a greater reward (or just to look cool).

Voice

Rex has an abrasive, Bostonian accent when he telepathizes to people. Think of Rocket Raccoon from Guardians of the Galaxy.

Powers

His magical aptitude has yet to be fully realized. He is telepathic of course, able to communicate clearly to anyone within line-of-sight. He is dual-natured, and thus is consistently able to see and interact with spirits. He can aid people who are summoning spirits or casting spells, but he cannot cast spells of his own accord (yet).

Aspects Description

Aspect	Description
Cat Living in a Metahuman's World	Since he's a feline, his knowledge on the world of metahumans is limited at best. He will Glitch any Knowledge or Networking Checks unrelated to animals, shifters, or the Seattle Animal-Metahuman Alliance.
Above Aspect pending approval. Please notify Thematics.
Shit Stirrer	Despite his lovable demeanor, Rex tests the boundaries of those around him. When he is faced with a Networking, Etiquette, or Negotiation check, the PC must first roll Edge+Loyalty. If the result is 0, he will purposely glitch by insulting the person he's conversing with.
Above Aspect pending approval. Please notify Thematics.
Travelling Companion	Rex, at the cost of nuyen (250-2000 depending on threat + negotiation) or a chip, will accompany anyone who asks for him at the start of a run. With the GM's permission, he may join a given run as an NPC. He may use the Edge of the PC that brings him along.
Charming Tom	Rex is a very adorable cat, which he uses to his advantage. He gains a +2 bonus to active Animal Handling, Etiquette, and Negotiation checks; the check gains an additional +2 if the being is a feline/has an affinity for felines.
Beast Summoner	Rex is a magical feline, and has the ability to summon low-force spirits and help with spells. Rex can summon and banish spirits up to Force 3, and gains a +2 bonus if the spirit is a Beast. He may also assist in spellcasting; for penalty purposes, his tradition is Shamanistic.
Sugar Mama	Rex's previous owner, Martha, is a very wealthy woman. She is also a pushover. At the cost of a chip, he may contact her for the following: A loan of nuyen, a favor related to the Ares Corporation, or for the party to shelter inside her home. Anything else would be to GM's discretion.
