Isabelle “Zazie Smokes” Dubois

Sometimes, it all comes down to power – to strength. But, as you can buy both those things on any street corner, it really all comes down to money! But that’s not right, is it? Money isn’t ‘’everything’’. Because money is ‘’dull’’. Boring! A drag. And toiling endlessly for something dull just isn’t flash. Isn’t sparky!

That’s what Zazie learnt in the depths of Spire: the electric plays-on-spine tingle – the churning, gorgeous butterflies of the stomach! – when every, single person you’re dealing with…wouldn’t bat an eye if they killed you. That’s what Zazie learnt playing agent essential to feed Mistletoe-Growing-Wild’s expensive, illegal, ‘’exciting’’ habits. A…lick-licking anticipation at the likelihood of being imperilled.

How could she forget that when freed from her durance? Go back to being a stall peddler? So she learnt how to peddle guns and knives – drugs and more! – to people great and small. And, why, when that became somewhat passé what could she do to step it up from there…?

Revolution of course!

Abilities

Cut a Deal

• ‘’You know anyone who’s anyone…’’ Once per session, set up a meeting with an NPC who can acquire you pretty much anything available in Spire. It won’t be free, though, and odds are they’ll want a favour or a cut too.

Heart’s Desire

• ‘’…and you know what they want.’’ Once per situation, pick an NPC that you can observe for a while. The GM will tell you what they want most of all right now.

Ignoble Tactics

• Gain the Fight skill. Your bodyguard, if you have one, gains the Defensive tag.

Hidden Stashes

• +2 Silver. In addition, once per session, acquire a (non-unique, mundane) piece of equipment instantly as you retrieve it from a cache.

Buy Friends [Divine]

• Take D6 stress to silver to gain an individual-level bond with an organisation.

On the Toss of a Coin [Divine]

• When you make any action that requires a dice roll, mark 1 Stress to Silver to use this spell. Instead of rolling your standard dice pool, toss a coin. Heads, you get what you want, take no stress, and you look good doing it. Tails, and you suffer a critical failure and double stress.

Buy Anything [Divine]

• Gain mastery in Compel. You can now buy or sell anything to or from a willing participant – not just goods and services, but skills, memories, stress marks, injuries, relationships, time, etc. Both parties must be willing to make the trade.

• If you mark D6 stress to Silver as part of casting this rite, you can still buy or sell anything – but transfer of property is dependent on terms set out in a contract signed by both parties. If the terms of the contract are broken, the transfer is effective immediately.

Bonds

Porter Standing (individual) | Stress: 0

• A customs official with a love for the distractions of finer society, and a weakness for the coin with which to purchase them. Which of course makes him a smuggler par excellence, and therefore a frightfully important person for Isabelle’s stock-in-trade.

Aliquin d'Marry (PC) | [ ]

• Deeply in debt. Need to hash out about what!

Equipment

• Three sets of beautiful robes and girdles, each in slightly different shades of blue.
• Golden neckleaces, rings, and bracelets bearing the symbol of Azur.
• Mr. Timothy Girder, professional protection (D6, Defensive, Tiring).

Stress

Refresh: Carry out a deal that benefits you more than it does the other party.
