Character Information

Summary

Good evening~ I have to admit, this is quite the welcome.

So this is the Shadows. Ugh, can you get even more cliche?

Yes yes, don't worry, I'll cut to the chase. I'm Morgan, of Morgan Esquire Service. Yes, I'm a Lawyer, Criminal Defense. A Pretty Damn good one, if you don't mind me saying.

Annnnnd their eyes are glazing over already. They think I'm a tourist.

Don't give me that look. I paid a lot of money, and burned a lot of contacts to get through the front door, so yes I do have a reason for reaching out.

Can't believe I sold off everything I own to get into this dingy operation. But beggars can't be choosers I suppose

Look I know I'm not the normal operator. But I am quite useful. I've dealt with shadowrunners in the past. You might think you don't need professional services like mine, but even your kind may have to deal with the law. And if nothing else. I can lend an operation an air of...legitimacy that some jobs require. I can charm, bluff, or bluster my way through most situations. I have a keen eye for details. And I'm well versed in the techniques and methods of law enforcement. But honestly, I think at the end my hidden value is having a tried and true lawyer on your operations side. I have some decent result, even against the State and Mega corporations, not bad for a one-woman operation, wouldn't you think?

It helps when you've stacked the deck in your favor

Hm? Then why join the Haven...?

Because I need more....thrill. More....excitement. There's no fun if there's no chance to go bust.

Well, if you want to make it big, you have to suck up to a megacorp, to the state, or the shadows. I've done all I can as a private business. The buy-in to the high stakes tables is not something I can afford by myself. So I came looking for a sponsor. I just so happened to have a few friends that are acquainted to your operation, so I called in every favor I had to arrange this meeting.

As for why I don't like megacorp or the state....

Disgusting filth. The hypocrisy, the posturing, the moralizing. If I could sink a knife in it all, I would do so in an instant.

Let's just say we have....creative differences. Look, I may not have the exact skills your needing, but you need someone who'll stare down a megacorporation or the state, and I've got the track record of doing just that. Skills can be developed. And there are skills I DO want to develop here. But I'll make it worth your while.

So what do you say? Excellent~ I'll start Monday!

Goals

This world is so boring with the people in power controlling everything. They think they've won, but that's what makes taking the pot from under their noses all the better. But I need more skills, more influence, to play at the table.

Yes what I've done so far, it's not enough humiliation. Win against the House in their own turf. Paint their marble thrones.....RED

Background

What's my name? Morgan, didn't you hear? Not on the record. That's my middle name. My first and last name? Last name is NLN: No Last Name. My family name is stricken from the record. No I don't know why. Maybe it has something to do with The chemical spill in my old neighborhood. Gave me a horrible constitution, and a permeant bad set of lungs.. *lights a cigarette*

Went to Cornell for Law School. Interned at...you don't need to know. Some small time practice led by a certified hag. Opened my own practice after that.

Hmm? Don't have a lot of cases results on record? Most of them have been sealed...what you think the state likes having black eyes on the record? Also, sometimes I settle things before they come to trial...

Some of my finest work, in fact.

Sorry, my life's pretty boring. No family to talk to, and work. Oh, I love gambling. Pokers my preferred vice, but I can handle most other things.

Narrative Significant Qualities

Positive

Alibi: What can I say? I know the importance of a good Alibi. That includes myself. A Lawyer's Badge is a decent method in getting into restricted areas~
Most don't even bat an eye until its too late...

Profiler: Whether its a DA or a potential client. It pays to know them inside and out before your pitch.

Honest Face: I can tell that strained stare anywhere. You're trying to read me? Why bother? 99% of people suck at it.
You think sitting on that filthy throne makes you different? Don't make me laugh. It just makes you more detached. More easy to fool.

Closer: Hmmm? Why do I compare court to a poker game? It has everything: High stakes, bluffing, calling the bluff. And of course: The House always wins.
Unless you count cards.
Of course, it's only fun when the game's rigged against you. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Technical School Education: Listing my Law Degree at Cornell with all the dignity of a plumber or electrician? Well, I suppose the end results all the same. And its not like I'm currently not enrolled in a few trade schools to learn a bit extra on the weekends anyway.

Mentor Spirit: Hm? I'm awakened. Did I forget to mention that?
Relevance?
Must've slipped my mind!
.....
Get a hint, moron
Fine, I'm Follow the Raven. Helps with my job. Don't worry, I'm good at controlling myself. I usually keep the griefing to just snide comments.
Like this one

Negative

Did you Just Call me Dumb?: .......*Smiles*
Yes.

Asthma: Courtesy of some Chemical Spill. Doctors said I got lucky. Yeah. Getting lungs that look like charred steak is Lucky. Getting a super-flu every year like Clockwork because your immune system is shot is lucky (1 Body)
Kill a man for a loaf of bread and you're a menace that needs to be locked up. Kill Thousands and scar thousands more? It was an accident. No one couldn't seen it happen. Pay a fine and think about what you've done. The sacred cow of capitalism marches on. And the ones sitting atop the throne? Practically flaunting the fact that the rules don't apply to them.

Poor Self Control: I want my Crime Scenes Neat Organized and CLEAR OF OBSTRUCTIONS.
That means you. Stand outside. Freaking voyeurs. Don't they have anything better to do with their.....SON OF A
DO NOT TOUCH. I WILL GUT YOU LIKE A FISH IF YOU DISTURB THE EVIDENCE......I'm fine I'm fine....
I'm not fine. I'm actually very irritated.

National SINNER: Well yeah, I went to Law School, I walk into District Courts. You think I can just burn my SIN and not have every cop and detective walking into my practice. You think I can afford to use a Fake SIN for such things? That would be a stupid way to bust out.
