Editing Character:Martin Appleby (section)

==Backgrounds==
====Followers 2====
Sixteen gangers follow Martin, including those who survived the assault that saw him draw his Second Breath and those who were drawn to him afterward by the stories of what he has thus far accomplished.  Collectively, they are mostly young men (and a few ambitious young women) between the ages of 15 and 22, and most of them are reasonably skilled fighters/skirmishers who got their fighting experience on the hard streets of Terminal City through gang warfare.
====Resources 2====
Martin has a neat income from remnants of his vice operations that he hasn't yet dismantled.  He had a higher level at one point, but he's increasingly turned his resources to bettering his neighborhood and weaning himself off of bad money-- though what he will be replacing that income with he has no idea of yet.
====Influence 2====
Martin is well known within the seedier parts of Terminal City, particularly in Parkville, as someone dedicated to fairness and the integrity of the people within it-- not because he believes fairness is Good and Just, but because he believes that equanimity gets the job done.  He has even occasionally cooperated with the Terminal City's police department to get rid of particularly disruptive influences-- an activity unheard of in the poorer areas.
====Cult 1====
The miraculous circumstances of Martin's Exaltation is a public secret in his neighborhood, and unbeknownst to him, some of the more faithful people offer prayers to him in hopes that he will save them if they are in trouble.  While Martin -has- been aware he's felt a little more energy every day, he's no idea that their "hero worship" is responsible for this.
