Urban Arcana FOR REAL THIS TIME! (closed)

Neither of them have posted at all - not just in this thread - since the 25th.

I'm hoping I can maybe talk Skeksis into opening up that third slot again... so I'm watching this thread too :)

History:
Jennifer was born the illegitimate daughter of a congressman, and, in order to keep the story hush-hush the mother was paid handsomely for her silence on top of child-support payments. The mother, a woman who could be summarised as a trailer-trash junkie, raised Jennifer for a couple of awkward years until dying from a drug overdose. Fortunately, Jennifer was found before anything happened to her as her crying was heard by a neighbour.

The father, who never realised the mother was dead (he really didn't care in the slightest), simply kept paying his child-support and putting money into the mother's bank account. Jennifer was raised in a foster home, an experience she wasn't quite thrilled about when she was old enough to consider her situation. This sentiment stuck with her until she was old enough to access her mother's account and get out.

The first thing she did with the massive sum of money left to her was finish her high-school education, then go spend some time wandering Europe. In her youth she had developed a fascination in spook stories, ghosts in particular, and later on enjoyed reading ghost stories and getting pictures of ghosts off the internet. So she travelled from supposedly haunted landmark to supposedly haunted landmark, trying to get some ghost stories of her own. The trip lasted a long while, and she saw and learned enough during it to easily convince her of the existence of ghosts.

She returned to France, and though still kinda young, started investigating paranormal activities as a paying job. She got pretty good at it, and sooner than later Department 10 caught wind of it and decided to bring her aboard as one of their first operatives.

Though she really didn't care who her father was, she thought she'd better find out who he was nonetheless. After a little digging around (made easier by law-enforcement resources) she discovered the identity of her father, and was pretty non-plussed. She met him for lunch and they talked about their lives a little, then went their separate ways once more.

To this date she has avoided getting married, having children, etc. She particularly enjoys her career, and dislikes the thought of something other than it taking up too much of her time.

I was keeping an eye on this thread. If you ever want to add someone else to round out the team - a stealthy type - let me know.

'Course if this is truly dead than it doesn't matter.

Euuhm, well, one or two extra characters would be welcome, Keia, hypersmurf, you're in, just adjust your character background so that you're from europe, you'll be working for a brand-new organisation, europol, based in brussels. You're promoted to the special investigations, and we'll start when you arrive at your new job.

Is that OK?
 

Works for me! Thanks for the invite. Today's my r/l game so my character will be built starting tomorrow if that's okay.

No Problemo, Keia, take your time. Festy, I'm gonna start with your character. Illegetimate child from a senator, she's gotta be french :D .

I'll do a little prologue , we'll fill in the rest as we get along. I'll presume you guys haven't been to Europe a lot, so I'll try to give plenty of extra info, tell me if I overdo it.
