Character Information

Summary

Themes of 'a rising tide lifts all boats' and force of will changing one's own fated stars despite adversity.

Goals

Step 1) Acquire contacts. Step 2) Build a brand for herself in the Seattle entertainment industry and beyond. Step 3) Profit.

Background

Dice is usually surprisingly good at blending into plain sight for a willowy woman with green skin. Her dusk moss complexion splits and deepens into textured wooden fissures and plaques in the shades of tree bark. This bark forms an organic and rather fragile dark exoskeleton where it covers her. It extends most notably along her limbs to her fingers and toes. Long, hardened, root-like protrusions tip each finger and toe in lieu of a keratin-based nail. Her verdant hair is usually worn upswept and banded back in a nest of small sticks and brambles that also twist from the base of her skull like vines to encircle around her throat.

Her natural ability with Glamour helps her to elude the worst of the public scrutiny, an illusory impression of a blonde-haired, decidedly pinker woman might stay with those who do not have the sight to pierce through to the heart of her nature. Her pointed ears do little to alleviate the general distaste for her kind, but elvish typing and metavariance aside: she manages. Where illusion fails, manipulation often solves her concerns. She might be on the streets for now, but she has ambitions.

The combination of dryad allure, a meticulous attention to her appearance within her limited means, and mind-altering abilities makes her an excellent coordinator or hostess for events where hostilities are a risk. The majority of her personal interactions are superficial, light, and a means to an end; but those few she trusts are in for life. Still, you never know how fortunes will rise and fall; today the person in the streets you throw a few creds to might be king of the corpos tomorrow. It pays to play carefully.

With her delicate physical frame and allergic flares to urban life, she may not be the heaviest hitter amongst the shadowrunners on the streets of Seattle, but she is steadily acquiring contacts and looking to build a brand for herself in the Seattle entertainment industry.

A good rule of thumb for the conspicuous - for better or worse - is to keep everyone convinced that they are having a good time. Dryads have little in the way of a uniform culture, and since even their parents can be human that makes growing up among the SINless even more daunting. It's not an easy life for anyone, even less so when popular prejudice places a target on your back. Having to dodge portions of Seattle and the outlying cities during anti-meta rallies is obnoxious, but having dealt with it most of her life Dice just keeps her head down and looks for mutually beneficial arrangements with other elves where feasible. All the social and economic pressures taught her was that it is better to be entertaining than to be forgotten or reviled. That's her ticket to the top.

She has no blood family remaining, though she does have one or two friends to whom she is deeply loyal.

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)
Aspect 1	Dryads may not always be well-adapted to the concrete jungle. As a result, many have allergies. Dice is fortunate that she primarily has to deal with standing out for her looks, and much of her magic has developed around illusion and manipulation as a result. She is attuned to green spaces within the city, particularly a small series of parks tended by a local conservatory. While she does not have to spend all of her time there, she does often in order not to break the attunement and because her work in the entertainment industry keeps her awake most nights. This makes her particularly susceptible to unwanted guests in the event they are successful in searching for her away from her usual haunts, but it also means she is almost never completely alone.
Aspect 2	Orphaned early, Dice feels lucky that her parents were SINless. She feels less lucky that they were both human and angry to have the misfortune of a dryad for a daughter. Had they survived, Dice suspects she might have found herself in corporate hands. She never discusses this, but with Axilia Selmer now among her contacts, she worries that her efforts to gain notoriety in Bellevue and Downtown Seattle may result in unwanted interest from Flash Star! in their escalating efforts to achieve AA status. Their focus on filling out the ranks of their magical security has begun to give Dice pause, though to date there has been no inkling this might become a problem.
