Message: <blockquote data-quote="Radiant" data-source="post: 2295689" data-attributes="member: 12018">here you go: Mr Taggert: is the "nice old man" in her life. He was a guard in Nocturne Cities for a long time and even lived to retire. After they lost 3 of their men to her murderious rampages she was kept in total isolation but somehow Taggert managed to work with her without getting killed. First he realized that she simply has to hunt every few weeks or goes into a frenzy. Her werewolf blood can't be denied. Even then she is still dangerous but the simply fact that Taggert beliefs everyone deserves to be treated like a person and a minimum of respect realy brought him through the time. And even though she was never someone to speak much Lia foudn that having someone to talk is nice after so much time alone. Taggert would have made a good priest, not becuase he likes to preach but because he has very comforting presence and is a good listener. He almost never judges people, just helps them figure out what they feel themselv. Since he's retired he lives in a bad part of the city and Lia sometimes drops by to visit him. She's not fast in making friends and even though she would never admit it she feels more than a bit lonely and out of place in a city that's 20 years past her time. Normaly she hunts bigger fish for Darkstrike but she at least tries to go through his part of the neiborhood a few times a week to show some thugs they're not welcome (as a possible connection or meeting possibiltiy with Brickwall).*thinking he's someone like Spawn's old lady for her...*Darkstrike (Lia to Taggert): "I am the Night. I am shadow. I am revenge. You're kind has infested this city for too long!"Yeah that's Darkstrike. All buisness with serious problems I'd say. Guess he had reason for it. Lot's of monsters loose in the city and the worst have even been human. I am not into excuses for what I did. But even then, you should have seen the massacre in that school...It was a bad time and my bet is that the guy had some personal involvement in those tragedies too. Maybe got a loved one killed or something. You know how these vigilantees are. All screwed up and that's coming from me. But boy he could fight. He doesn't tell me much even now but I think they experimented with some combat drugs on him. That's probably why he got the shakes now too. I've seen him train. the guy is fifty now and still rocks but with his breakdowns he's gota stay at home and close to a doctor. Still that's nothing to back then. Used to laugh about that black cape routine and all but let me tell ya you don't laugh then your caught in the damn thing. I once saw him dodge a damn bullet. He can see your finger twitch before you even shoot. Don't look at me like that, wasn't me. Don't do guns. He used to have all these throwing kinves and wires too. You know, rooftop swinging and what they do. Never got that, I just jump but then I am just that bit stronger than a girl should be... . Bet the criminal underground had the party of their lives then he retired. You sometimes here some of them joking about the old man and silly times. Don't believe a word of it. They can make as many black cape jokes as they like, back then everyone was affraid of him.You're right, old fears won't keep them in line today. But he knows his buisness. If he couldn't cut it on his own he came up with a way around it. I got the nasty feeling I am his way around his age. They don't know it yet but it's as good as if he's back on the street so they'd better get their seatbelts tight. Cause I'm even better than he was.Darkstrike is admitedly so cliche vigilante that it hurts but I expect that from the 80s. He still has access to all police computers and now acts as Lia's information broker, telling her who to catch and how to get around the problems. He's not so filthy richt that he doesn't have to worry about money at all but he was smart enough to keep an old cache of gold one of his enemeis dug out once so he lives in the most upscale area, has a secret lair right behind an 8 stories screen in a scyscraper and the most advanced tech money can buy.He's a bit rough but nice and realy has no tolerance for what he considers "villains". That includes Lia but saving your kid can do wonders for your tolerance. That and 20 years of prison which have been a very real punishment doesn't make him forget it but he is willing to give her the chance he promised and at least consider that she might have changed.*that stuff does not have to bring any advantages. I mostly plan on using his voice for funny conversations and you can throw in usefull hints you want through him thenever you need an excuse to get them into the game.*Steffanie: Daughter of a legend, Steffanie had a black belt in TaekWonDo then she was 15 and knows her way around computers that most people don't even know exist. Still she has no superhuman powers and her father is more than thankfull that she never wanted to get into the same dangerous buisness. She she loves to help out and since Lia saved her sees her as the big and very touch and independent sister she never had. For her the horror stories of the past are just that, she wasn't even born back then. If she tries to be like her any more both her dad and Lia will get more than worried.quote:"Come on you look great.""These pants are way to tight, don't you people have any decency today?""What you're affraid?""Yes, how the heck do you kick people in this?""Sigh, I realy have to explain that clubing thing again don't I?"*That girl is the super hip teenager who makes both her dad and Lia look real out of date sometimes. She is also the funny side roll who occasionaly forces Lia into bad situations by confronting her with parties, fashion and the normal life in general. She's a nice person but for an old werewolf it's realy hard to have a persistent kid sister...*</blockquote>
