Deacon (Tom's character)

Hezekiah Thompson ("Deacon")
Human adept

Born in the backest of backwoods Tennessee, Hezekiah was raised by a grandfather, who taught him to hunt when the boy was hardly as tall as the old man's rifle. The boy took to the activity, and as he grew, he missed less and less. (He also fostered in the boy a fairly fundementalist faith.) He eventually attracted the attention of a local marine recruiter, who convinced Hezekiah of the benefits of joining his nation's military. It was a Corps exam that revealed that his abilities weren't a result of his upbringing but of his genes.

Hezekiah served his country proudly, and would have continue to do so, but, due to budget cutbacks, the Corps was forced to downsize and Hezekiah found himself honorably discharged. Fortunately, as nations were weakening, corporations were growing in strength. Hezekiah had barely been processed out of the Corps when he was invited to meet a representative from Aztechnology.

Would Deacon like to be Nutjob's best friend? His very own guardian angel & jiminy cricket? It comes with benefits! Yesh, you get to play with Pisher, but you'll wanna learn a little Yiddish first, and Nutjob'll let you make use of Stinky Bob, too!

and here i was thinking he'd worked with Jane in the corps and brought her in...

Well, with three Marines, that's possible. I probably need more than one jiminy cricket.

Just a note Tom, you won't get much use out of your last two contacts in the game, at least not as written. The Lonestar Cop could use come beefing up, at least he can feed you information about criminals and such. You won't be spending much time at all in Seattle.

Remember, your contacts should be international in nature.

That's alright - when he moves to new places he'll meet new people.

Alright, just want to make sure you're aware is all. The 4 Build points you have tied up in them could be a rank of an active skill or two ranks of knowledge skills. I don't want you to spend Build Points on something that will be useless to you. Its much cheaper to buy up skills with karma than it is with build points, especially high level skills.

Good point - I might find a skill that needs learning...

An extra couple of languages wouldn't hurt.
