[QUOTE="The Shaman, post: 2160909, member: 26473"] Hmmm...let me see if I can help with that. The adventurers are being hired by the subsidiary of a major corporation, a Fortune 500-type company, so in assembling this team they're looking for people who are (1) professional in manner and appearance and (2) relatively cheap (for reasons that will be understood as we get into the adventure). Think of the characters in [i]Sneakers[/i], rather than [i]The A-Team[/i] or [i]Mission: Impossible[/i] - business-like rather than over-the-top. As far as genre details, you've got horror, science fiction, and the possibility of psionics somewhere down the line - I could tell you more but then I'd have to kill you, which is something I generally try to avoid, at least until AFTER char gen is complete... :) Players, please take note: flattery WILL get you everywhere in my games. ;) I think Brandon needs a sort of Bob Geldof moment in his background: at some point he is exposed to some ill of the world and really dedicates himself to its betterment - not in the flashy way of most celebrities, but by really working at it, getting in the trenches and doing things not for their P.R. value but for their human value. Instead of earning him fame and a spotlight, it earns him respect that's below the radar. Does this help? [/QUOTE]
