Overview

Ritz Malheur, a Fixer with an unwitting charm, finds joy in the shadows as she blissfully navigates the criminal underworld. Unaware of the sinister undertones of her clientele, she genuinely believes she's merely helping people in need. An active Monster Hunter, Ritz has discovered a new purpose, utilizing her modest connections to make ends meet.

Her vibrant personality creates a stark contrast with the shadows she maneuvers through, and her cat ears subtly twitch with each intriguing proposal. A sleek tail sways behind her, a whimsical accessory she can't quite explain but has become a distinctive part of her persona.

Ritz's clients, often runners and shadowy figures, appreciate her airheadedness, finding it the perfect cover for their clandestine dealings. To them, she seems like an unwitting pawn in their games. Little do they know, Ritz's over-eager and super excited demeanor is a facade that masks her true resourcefulness.

Trained by Frieren, who became an older sister figure to her, Ritz has a background in the art of hunting monsters, a skill set she seamlessly transfers into her current Fixer role. Frieren's influence is evident in Ritz's approach to challenges, blending naivety with hidden expertise.

Whether it's retrieving a discreet package, gathering intel, or negotiating under the guise of innocence, Ritz tackles each task with unbridled enthusiasm. Her cat ears twitch with excitement as she ventures into her unwitting adventures, completely oblivious to the true nature of the requests she fulfills.

Her clients marvel at her resourcefulness, wondering if she's truly naïve or a mastermind in disguise. Meanwhile, Ritz remains blissfully ignorant, fueled by the thrill of the tasks she unknowingly undertakes and her fascination with paracritters, a passion that adds an extra layer of charm to her eccentric persona. As long as her cat ears keep twitching and her tail keeps swaying, her clients are more than happy to keep her in the dark—for the right price.

Pinus Sylvestris is an organization comprised of awakened individuals. Anyone may choose to self-identify as a member. Pinus Sylvestris operates as a dedicated force in the nocturnal realm, safeguarding communities from various threats that emerge after sunset.

Specializing in hunting down disruptive elements ranging from unruly infected to paranormal entities, Pinus Sylvestris prioritizes community safety.

The organization's unique composition primarily consists of awakened individuals, each contributing specialized skills, augmented by a select few non-awakened members proficient in technology. Pinus Sylvestris maintains a distinct modus operandi, operating outside the confines of conventional legal channels. This approach allows the group to respond swiftly to threats, cutting through bureaucratic red tape to provide immediate aid whenever necessary.

Despite their altruistic mission, Pinus Sylvestris faces criticism from various quarters, often labeled as vigilantes due to their unconventional methods. This, however, does not deter the organization from its commitment to protecting the innocent. As a proactive force in the night, Pinus Sylvestris remains a vigilant guardian against the unseen perils that lurk in the shadows, ensuring the safety of communities oblivious to the battles waged in their midst.

Aspects Description

Aspect	Description
Beyond the Journey's End	Ritz gets excited about most of her adventures in Europe and will talk your ear off at any opportunity. When contacting her, the GM secretly rolls a D6. If they roll a 1, Ritz gets lost in the weeds and will ramble for hours if not stopped with a Negotiation (3) or Intimidation (3) test.
World Unwatching	Ritz has no loyalty to the Haven. She's got better things to do. She never offers a service for free or reduced price. If you need it faster or better, you pay more--it doesn't matter WHAT you're doing or what your loyalty is.
Not so Fast!	Ritz doesn't work in the shadows. As such, the lives and contrivances of runners matter little to her. Ritz' loyalty can not be raised above 3, outside of a private run.
Who am I?	Ritz is not known for her subtlety. When utilized, roll a 1d6. On a 1, the actions Ritz takes are obvious and are easily traceable back to you.
Who are you?	Ritz Doesn't know her clients are runners. Therefore, she's not used to people wanting to be more connected with her. Loyalty can only be raised 1 at a time, and each raising requires the character to first complete a run on her behalf.
Red Magic Adept	A powerful Red magic mystical adept, Ritz cares a lot about the environment and her place in the world. She focusses mostly on adept powers, but has some purported use of enchanting, and a minor use of spellcasting.
Paracritters	On hunting and keeping paracritters, especially wolves! Oh whoosagoodboy, you'reagoodboy! Yes you are! Frieren, let me play with Sir Woofenstein again?
Astral Threats	On hunting and banishing of astral threats. Icky! Slimy! Cheaters! CHEATERS!
Weapon Foci	She works with weapon foci, and can make them on request. Managing her own weapons puts her in a position to be well equipped for these challenges.
Magical Theory	Ritz studied magic theory to better hunt magical threats, learning dire
Necromancy	Ritz has spent much time fighting off the spirits of the undead. Dead are better to stay that way, and she finds them sickening. As such, she knows a good amount of information about them, which goes hand in hand with her despising it.
By your side!	The willingness of Ritz to step in and save you in your time of need is unparalleled. The chances of her stepping in to save any of their connections makes her a shining ray in the darkness, when you need it.
