His parents are still married and live there comfortably in semi-retirement. His younger brother lives in Nashville, eeking out a living in the recording industry; you might have heard of some of the artists he works with, but most likely not.Micheal himself followed in his father's footsteps and joined the US Marine Corps, not out of blind patriotism, but because he couldn't come up with anything better to do, and he needed the money for college. Fortunately he joined after Desert Storm and so his stint in the armed forces, while challenging and rewarding, carried little actual danger. Performing well enough on qualifications tests, the Corps sent him to Annapolis, grooming him for a commission as an intelligence officer. Unfortunately for the Corps, his performance at the Academy caught the attention of a certain other entity within the United States Government: the CIA.Recruited quickly and discreetly, Micheal soon learned the basics of international espionage and was assigned a desk position at the US Embassy in Rome. His job was mainly to perform clerical duties for the Ambassador and his staff, and occassionally pickup drops from actual field agents and see that they made it to the US through standard diplomatic means. It was a comfortable job, it paid well, and he felt he was doing good for his country. Besides, he had never spent any real time in Europe, and he was discovering a fondness for Rome.It was during one of his evening strolls through the ancient city that he noticed something ... strange. For an instant, it seemed as though the street was filled not with people hurrying about their business, but by a menagerie of strange creatures. He blinked, rubbed his eyes, and everything was back to normal.The next night it happened again.He did some preliminary research on the web that night, trying to discover a possible explanation for his hallucinations. After an hour of dead ends, he gave up and went to bed.The next morning, a memo sat waiting for him on his desk. He had been reassigned to Department 7.Micheal SummersLevel 1 Fast HeroAge: 29STR 12 (+1)DEX 16 (+3)CON 12 (+1)INT 13 (+1)WIS 14 (+2)CHA 12 (+1)HP: 9BAB: +0Defense: 16Fortitude: +1Reflex: +4Will: +2Action Points: 5Reputation: 0Wealth : +4Occupation: Investigative (Skills: Gather Information, Search)Feats:Simple Weapons ProficiencyPersonal Firearms Proficiency Point Blank ShotStealthyDeceptiveClass Talent : EvasionSkills (above ability scores)Bluff +2Disable device +3Disguise +3Gather Information +7Knowledge (Current Events) +2Knowledge (Streetwise) +2Move Silently +9Sleight of Hand +6Spot +4Speak Language (Italian)Equipment: Business clothesCell PhoneDigital Camera (and/or binoculars)FN Five-seveN pistol (with suppressor)2 extra magazines 5.7mm ammo (20 count each)Concealed carry holster</blockquote>
