− | + | <i>John Palmer is, physically speaking, unremarkable. Average height (just under 6 feet), average build, dark hair, dark eyes, impeccably groomed and dressed. But it's the sheer force of personality that he exudes that makes him unique. He's always friendly, always a gracious host at the club he runs, with a smile on his face for any guest that walks in the door. But underneath that is solid steel, and anyone who underestimates him does so at their peril.</i> | |

In the criminal underworld, reputation counts for a great deal; additionally, it is said that no one gossips amongst themselves like criminals. Word has spread about John from the Mafia, to other such organizations around the world. Although he holds no position in organizations such as the Triads or Mafiya, representatives of such groups would be interested in talking to John if he should appear in their territories -- and actually talk, not "talk". | In the criminal underworld, reputation counts for a great deal; additionally, it is said that no one gossips amongst themselves like criminals.

Cost: 8 motes. John speeds up the bureaucratic process for a chosen project by making a ((Intelligence or Charisma) + Bureaucracy) check, adding his Essence in automatic successes (difficulty 1). If the person responsible for this project deliberately engages in delays, an external penalty of ((that person's Intelligence + Bureaucracy) / 2) is subtracted from any successes John rolls.
