While he's still developing these powers, he can use them to protect David. '''Deflection''' :''Power Points'' – 2 :''Range'' – Smarts (12 yards) :''Duration'' – 5 rounds :''Summary'' – −2 to incoming melee or ranged attacks (or both with a raise) :''Trappings'' – Yeller Belly uses his telekinesis to throw attacks aimed at David off course == Special Abilities == '''Ethereal''' – Yeller Belly can become invisible and immaterial at will and can only be harmed by magical attacks == Background == Bill Keely was always second-best, passed over by the big mobs in Chicago for someone just a little smoother, with a little more finesse. He’s worked with some of the legends, but he’s stuck playing short cons for peanuts. What he lacks in talent, though, he makes up for with his eye for such. Many of the great grifters of our time have passed on up through his tutelage, and the latest was one [[DavidWashington|David Washington]]. David played the outside man for Bill’s fiddle game, and Bill was ashamed to admit to himself that their success was mostly down to the youth’s smooth-talking. Pretty soon, David would be off to play the big cons, leaving Bill in the dust once again. When a con went wrong and the mark pulled a gun on the pair, Bill’s resentment boiled over and he took the money and ran, leaving David to take the heat. Once word spread around, everyone took to calling Bill “Yeller Belly”, which only adds to his sense of resentment. He kept telling himself that one big score is all he needs to show everybody he’s got what it takes. Chasing that is what took him to Coffin Rock, where he met a grisly end. But his spirit lives on, connected to this world by the presence of his old partner David. While Yeller Belly isn't too keen on working with David much, it seems the young grifter is what's keeping him from passing on, so he's willing to tough it out for the time being.
