Background

Savo is not a fun place to live in the Sixth World. The Bible Belt southern states equivalent of Finland, it's full of remote towns full of hicks that most people wouldn't really miss if they just disappeared into thin air. And yet, that's where Taru was born for better or for worse. Getting early on in trouble, she had a government stipend to go study but squandered it when she fell in love as a stupid nineteen-year old girl and ran off with her girlfriend into the forests of Central Finland. This didn't last long. Teen relationships die as quickly as they start and Taru was no exception. She Awakened by accident during her early twenties and began work as an astral detective. After work in Finland dried up and provided no fruit, Taru flew overseas to Seattle, a veritable hotspot of astral activity. There, life was dangerous and far more insufferable compared to how calm it was back home, buuut there was also a lot of work to be had. Government pension, some excitement and plenty of experiences.

And then her run was cut short. Asked to join a clandestine group refusing to tell their name to her, Taru naturally refused. And for her refusal, she got a bullet to the head. She can't remember the face of the person that shot her, but she has a barely perceptible scar on her forehead to remind her of her fate. Bet they weren't expecting her to survive a direct shot -- and now she's determined to see who exactly was trying to grab her into their ranks. Does she have any ldeas? No. Is that stopping her?

Absolutely not. Just get her a tankard of hurlg, some betel cigarettes and she's getting on the case.

Significant Things for Narrative

  • Prototype Magician - Entirely accidental, Taru was meant to be a designer baby with as little side effects as possible while still integrating the latest discoveries in bioware research. While not all too successful, she Awakened later during a traumatic even in her teen years, which has allowed her to leverage her abilities further than before thanks to her augmentations.
  • Trust Fund - Due to her Awakening as a designer child, she's been given some special treatment from the Finnish government. She has a lifelong pension as long as she stops by for the occasional DNA sample and medical check-up, even when living overseas. Only, that's not gonna last long if they find out she's been doing crime!
  • Day Job - She's an investigator. Specialized in magical cases, Wychking's title is linked directly to hustling spirits, strongarming the Awakened and finding answers. Murders, hauntings, you name it.
  • Betel Addiction - Her corpgum comes in cigarettes, not chewing gum, but it's all the same since she's a habitual smoker of the stuff. It's like crack... but at least it doesn't get any worse.
