Heh, I'm being rapidly eliminated by virtue of being a construction worker.

Why so, being a construction worker doesn't mean that you are dumb. The highest IQ ever recorded had for job to clean a school. Yeap, pass his days to clean the mess of students and teachers dumber than him, so why you wouldn;t be as bright as those PhD.

That just means we have a better chance of playing, I mean who wants a whole team of super smart people.

They would just sit around all day discussing quantum physics... :p
 


I'm interested, have a concept.


Frida Freling is a native-born German in her late 20's, who was working as a real estate agent in Berlin when her powers first manifested. Born in Bayern, she moved to Berlin after completing University in Munich, where she received a business degree and completed the equivalent of an MBA.

While showing a house to a young Russian couple moving into the country to start a business, Frida collapsed in the throws of visions (Postcognition). When she regained consciousness in the hospital later that evening, the visions continued unabated as the doctors and attendants came in contact with her. She also found that she could not escape the noises of the hospital itself -- sounds and smells from the basement came to her like they were in the next room (Super Senses, Telescopic Senses). She nearly went mad the first night, and the doctors finally isolated her in a padded cell. While this lessened the niose in her head some, the relief was only temporary as her senses bounded from within her, touching places as far away as her childhood home (ESP) and even as far as the minds of childhood friends (Telepathy).

She spent the better part of a week in and out of consciousness and lucidity, trying to bring her rampant mind under rein, until finally she awoke on July 12 to absolute mental quiet. The doctors conducted tests for the next several days, but could find nothing wrong with her... but she knew better. The quiet was self-induced -- Frida, in her ferverish rantings, had found a way to rein it all in, focus it, use at her command... and so she choose to turn it off while the doctors tested, until the doctors released her on July 15, and until she could return to her home.


Frida did what any good person would do -- she made an anonymous call to the Polizei upon being released. Later that evening, the home she had been showing the young couple a week before was entered and a number of bodies were exhumed; the previous owner had been luring prostitutes to his home and murdering them for the better part of 30 years. He had put the house on the market and left the country several months earlier. It did wonders for her conscious, but nothing could help her business; in the week during which she was hospitalized, many of her clients had opted to select another realtor after information had leaked out about her 'condition.' She still has a handful of clients with several properties under her sales control. (Hook 2: Properties with potential)


Frida is unwed, and lives alone in a studio in Berlin. Her closest relatives live in Bayern -- her estranged father and her twin sister, Fran. Her parents divorced after her mother became ill; her mother died not long after her father left, while Frida was in University. She hasn't spoken to her father in five years, since her mother's funeral, and hasn't seen Fran for about two years: Fran works as a Realschule teacher in Bayern. (Family: Hook)
 

I am insane... work the stats up people... this may be a huge cast... damn you and your nice hook filled characters... once we get the characters stated out with more refined backgrounds and GM-tuning I will be selecting about 4-6; I am not trying to be elitist... just keep my sanity :)
