Overview
A practitioner of what others may call 'Obeah' magic, Madame B is a fierce woman of unique background, motives, and beliefs. She has a syncretic view of magic, believing that God endowed people to dig deep and find their own power. She cites instances of the oppressed utilizing magic to rally and overthrow their oppressors, like old stories of Queen Nanny, and other great heroes. She will readily call her own spellwork 'Obia', should no one be listening, and generally believes that any action which moves the world closer to upheaval is inherently justified. She is definitely not evil, and even prefers to help rather than harm, but is dogmatic and convicted to the point of willful blindness.
Mrs. B is whip-smart, no-nonsense, and utterly unmoved by anything which doesn't (in her mind) matter.
Her late husband was a creole man from the heart of the CAS, and her adoptive daughter is the mostly unhinged runner Cheeto Dust.
Aspects Description
All negative aspects are adapted from existing contacts.
| Aspect | Description |
|---|---|
| Working Hours | The lady's shop has it's listed hours for a reason. Add +5 to the threshold of the contact availability test if trying to contact Madame B outside of her normal hours (9am-6pm PST). |
| Overworked | Madame B always has something more important to do than work on whatever focus or thing you've asked her about. It's rude to rush her anyways. Services may take longer. Every time the contact provides a service, roll 2D6. The normal amount of time that it would take to provide the service is multiplied by the resulting number. |
| Talismonger | Madame B has a lifetime of experience locating or creating magical supplies of all different types. She has a +2 on all checks relating to magical equipement. |
| Under-table Dealings | Selling reagents won't fund spell research, nor will it give her clientele the means to uproot the status quo. Madame B has a +2 on all checks relating to gear which is Restricted or Forbidden. |
| Vast Collection | The backrooms of the lady's Balm Yard are filled to the brim with her lifetime of collected oddities. She has little trouble finding rare things, given the time and proper motivation. She has a +2 on checks to acquire gear of availability 16 or greater. |
| Master Magician | Madame B is a powerful full mage, with capability in all three forms of magic. She has a solid magic score, and a few initiations under her belt. Give her +2 on any active or knowledge checks to use or understand magic. |
