Since Last We Saw Our Heroes
Eighteen months have gone by since the group made their (successful) mad dash to Council Island (formerly known as Mercer Island). The group was granted dubious citizenship on Council Island, and a tiny tract of land that includes and old airplane hanger and a (double-wide!) trailer. No one has tried to kill them in quite a while, which is a major improvement from their old lives . . .

Max: the face-man of the group, and the most determined to make a name for the little band. He will go to great lengths to protect his fellows, especially his vulnerable sister, Tara. Max has the spark of a sorcerer, and the little magical knowledge he has garnered is enough for others to label him a wiz-kid mage. He doesn't know a whole lot (yet!), but it's enough to burn your face off if you fuck with him. As a sorcerer (i.e., a hermetic magical adept), Max can cast spells, but cannot conjure elementals/spirits or astrally perceive/project. [Currently Held for Dieter]

Reagan: a privileged young suburbanite, happily living in the Renraku corporate enclave and dreaming of being an engineer like his daddy, until the ultimate fuck-you of puberty goblinized him into a Troll at age thirteen. His previously loving - currently horribly racist - parents freaked and Reagan ran off into the streets of Seattle.

Togo: a young Raccoon shaman, born with spirits fluttering about his head. Togo is obsessed with some archaic sport called baseball, and has been known to summon city spirits (minor ones, mind) just so that he could have someone to pitch to him. As a full shaman, Togo can cast spells, conjure spirits, and astrally perceive/project.
Rad: a wiry, scrappy little AmerIndian (he doesn't know what tribe) kid, Rad has the ridiculous natural athletic potential of a physical adept. Even though he has little training, Rad has never met anyone who moves faster than he does. Previously content to channel his talent into breakdancing and burglary, Rad has recently met an old sensei who has taught him a thing or two about how to kick someone in the head seven times before they see the first one coming.
Group Sheet - A list of of the groups communal resources, contacts, etc.
