http://www.nighthawks.org.uk/images/corin/talho_01.gif Dice: Dice is often described as 'a bit random'. Kicked out of house at age 13 by mother after she surged and started attracting spirits. Forced to fend for herself, her aptitude for athletics and games of chance lead her to fighting and gambling to survive. However, at age 16 an extended run of good luck at the exclusive 'Blue Bamboo' Casino on Hong Kong Island lead to her being accused of using magic to cheat and she was forced to return all of her recent winnings or suffer the consequences. Unfortunately, Dice's bemusment at the complexities of compound interest meant that her forgotten repayments rapidly developed into a substantial debt. Making good on their threat, boys came round. Dice overpowered the debt collectors with little difficulty, an action that brought her to the attention of the Casino's owner, the beautiful Naomi Double. An aspiring figurehead of crime and corruption, Ms. Double uses her social ties to high-profile customers (and their lost assets) to expand her illicit business portfolio. Seeing the potential in Dice's astral talents, Naomi convinced her to retrieve 'contested' property from the Casino's many clients as a means of repaying her debt, introducing her to a life in the shadows. Ten years on and Dice looks up the family...
Character notes:
• Elder sister of Rez and Eclipse
• Has fair skin like her Irish mother, dark hair like her Chinese father, and shiney purple eyes like a freak
• Hates spirits (the see-through scary kind)
• Likes spirits (the see-through drinky kind)
(Designed to see if a high edge attribute really is a viable substitute for skills...)
