Dice: Willing to try anything once, Dice's easy going attitude and random bouts of unexplained proficiency often get her into more trouble than out. Grew up with two younger sisters, only to be kicked out of the house at age 13 when a surge-induced astral shift sparked phenomenal cosmic powers that started attracting hungry spirits. An aptitude for athletics and games of chance naturally lead her to fighting and gambling on the streets of Hong Kong to survive. Ironically, it was an extended run of good luck at the exclusive 'Blue Bamboo' Casino on Lantau Island that lead a 16 year old Dice to being accused of using magic to cheat and 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 soon developed into a substantial debt. Making good on the threat, an assortment of goons were deployed to 'collect', only to be overpowered and sent packing in short order. After three more failed attempts to retrieve payment, Dice's case was brought to the attention of the Casino's owner, Naomi Double, an aspiring figurehead of crime and corruption who uses her social ties to high-profile customers (and their lost assets) to continually expand her illicit business portfolio. Seeing the potential in Dice's astral talents, Naomi convinced her to join the Blue Bamboo's payroll to help retrieve 'contested' property from the Casino's many clients to help pay off her debt, giving her her first taste of life in the shadows. Ten years on and Dice looks up the family... |
