Overview
The Director of Paranatural Breeding Program for the Fort Lewis Zoological Gardens, Sylvia is springly and excitable. The girly demeanor hides a skilled expert in her field. If you want to learn absolutely anything about (para)zoology, you can't have found better.
Aspects Description
| Aspect | Description |
|---|---|
| Rambling Study | She gets excited about any critter, no matter how dangerous (in fact, the less cuddly it is, the better, it would seem) and will talk your ear off at any opportunity. When contacting her, the GM secretly rolls a D6. If they roll a 1, Sylvia gets lost in the weeds and will ramble for hours if not stopped with a Negotiation (3) or Intimidation (3) test. |
| Parazoology Paragon | You don't become Director of Paranatural Breeding Program for nothing. Sylvia's command of her field of expertise is outstanding. Parazoology, Zoology and Critters knowledge skills have an inherent +2 bonus. |
| Wildlife Wrangler | She's unafraid to get her hands dirty. +2 to Animal Handling and the Outdoors skill group tests. |
| Paranatural Toxin | Deathrattle venom? Very illegal, yes. But of course you want it just for science, don't you? She can procure a variety of paracritter-derived toxins. |
| Academia Access | Having graduated with honors from the Department of Parazoology at the Seattle University, with a career at Fort Lewis to follow, she's got some networking ability. She can connect you with coworkers or scientists from the field. |
| Looking for a Loving Home | We're not saying it's a good idea, but you can purchase a number of animals (mundane like hamsters, paracritters like hellhounds or technocritters like libertines) through her if you have Loyalty 3+. R-rated species require a (fake) license. She won't sell you F-rated ones unless you have Loyalty 6 - pets are a responsibility. |
| The Light Fantastic | Tolkien, Lewis, Pratchett. Lem, Aasimov, Herbert. Sylvia knows them all, can recite quotes, would love to get sucked into the world of Neil the Ork Barbarian and spends free time reading, gaming or LARP-ing. Tests related to fantasy and SF (mostly assorted knowledge ones, although she might offer something useful from gaming buddies or connect with someone in the fandoms she's into at times) are made at +2. |
