Overview

Delightful Ophelia is an international woman of mystery with immense wine aunt energy. Wherever she goes, jobs that you probably aren't being paid enough for are sure to follow. Ophelia has a taste for the exorbitantly expensive, the highly secure - if there's something people don't want stolen, and they were to quantify how much they don't want it to be stolen, she wants to steal it exactly that much, plus one. It's really all about the thrill of the chase, so expect her to get hands-on with the job, and then double- or triple-cross you at least once during proceedings.

In-person, Ophelia is a tall, pale, bony elf with short black hair and freckles. She's usually wearing dark outfits with large collars and spiderweb patterns; the kind one would wear of a relaxing evening, only to be startled by a knock on one's door from Knight Errant, telling one that one's extremely wealthy but emotionally distant significant other was found dead under suspicious circumstances, only for one to raise one's eyebrows and ask "Oh, really? How terrible!" in mock surprise. She also usually comes armed with far too many throwing knives and a suspiciously indistinct accent. South London, you think? Maybe? Who can say.

Aspects Description

Aspect Description
Gaslight Ophelia's pretty sure she doesn't remember that time you helped her out. To redeem a chip she owes you, you have to resist an Active (Con) check from her (subtract loyalty instead of adding it to the dicepool).
Gatekeep There are some things that only distinguished tastes can truly appreciate. Ophelia's loyalty with you is capped by your lifestyle. Street = 1; Squatter = 2; Low = 3; Medium = 4; High = 5; Luxury = 6. (If your loyalty with her is higher than your current lifestyle, you can still keep the loyalty rating, you just don't gain any benefits from it.)
Girlboss Ophelia is always hustling, even when it's a detriment to literally everyone around her. Any gear she lends you comes at a 10% surcharge (and she will try to talk you into buying it). All her service costs are increased by 25%.
Eye For Detail Ophelia has a taste for the finer things in life. +2 dicepool to appraising the value of an item, or knowledge of anything particularly opulent.
High Ticket Items I mean the really finer things. +2 dicepool to acquire gear worth more than 50,000 nuyen.
Higher Ticket Items Really really really finer things. Additional +2 dicepool to acquire items worth more than 100,000 nuyen.
Higherest Ticket Items Just so fine. Another +2 dicepool to acquire anything worth more than 200,000 nuyen.
Silver Tongue Ophelia could sell a deck to a technomancer. She could sell water to a salmon, and then talk that same salmon into being brunch. She has a +2 dicepool bonus on Active (Con) checks.
Double Bluff Knowing that she's a bit of a rogue somehow just makes her more charming. Ophelia gets another +2 dicepool on Active (Con) checks against targets that know she's a notorious liar.
You Son Of A Slitch, I'm In Ophelia has been in several dozen heist crews over the years, and has usually been the common factor in them splitting up or getting arrested. But, of course, she takes a +2 dicepool bonus on networking checks to convince a quirky specialist with a gimmick to come out of retirement for one last job...
Minor Illusionist Ophelia can cast the spells Decoy, Invisibility, and Stealth.
Real Sneaky Beaky Likes Ophelia gains a +2 dicepool bonus on Active (Stealth) checks.
I'm Entering My Mind Palace It's like a photographic memory, but for 3D space. Ophelia gains a +2 dicepool bonus on Active (Memory) checks to draw building layouts, floor plans, etc. after seeing them in person.
Flattery Will Get You Everywhere Ophelia loves it when you play to her ego. Or, more specifically, when you're willing to humiliate yourself for her entertainment in the process. There's a +2 dicepool bonus in it for you if you're suitably sycophantic (at the GM's discretion). Best get grovelling, darlings!
