Amethyst/Hooks
Usual Disclaimer: I'm here for the story. I am not a TS trap, though I'm certainly not against it. I am still learning this sphere, so I am as clueless as my character, bear with me. I don't enjoy character death, and I'm not out to PK (obviously). I do firmly believe ICA=ICC, so, I act accordingly. If there's an idea or story you want to work around and want Ame in on it, I'm a pretty easy-going for the most part... just page/@mail me.
UC Prospect: This one is the most obvious. She's found in Prospect Roaster's quite a bit, and is friends with Professor Vanny. Though she's in the Climate Science and Policy master's program, she is strongly considering altering her path and changing degrees. Strong background in horticulture as well as math, computer programming, and physics.
Streetwise: Ame is a well-known street medic, anyone can ID her by the various political tags on her backpack or Red Cross symbol displayed prominently on her person when she's 'on duty'. She's actively on the streets, feeding people she finds. Soon? Bigger projects. Everyone needs to eat, and a safe place to live.
Political Activism: Know what antifa is? Know what Cascadia is? Concepts of social structures that don't include capitalism? Know anything going on currently (politically) that would affect the west coast, our climate, and fighting major corporations from poisoning the earth? Ame does! Open that can of worms at your own risk.
Portland: Born and raised in Portland, OR, and outlying areas. (Down with the gentrification and uncontrolled rent increases!) Been through there? Lived there? From there? Have you and she met before? Keep Portland weird.
Blackwell Family: This is NOT a highly publicized fact, but if you are a PC trying to track down Blackwell family members, it can be done. Her father, Jake Blackwell, went through extensive troubles to hide Amethyst and her mother's existence from the world.
Orphan: More like Dreamspeaker to be, who can speak the technobabble of the Virtual Adepts. Dual Tradition is hard work, but Technoshaman is a thing. Oh, right. Her mother died in September in an oil train explosion, and her father died last August in Prospect during the mysterious terrorist bombing.
Herbalist: Amethyst is quite skilled in the realm of herbalism and non-Western medical treatments. She's got plans to set up shop in town. Her equipment for creating extracts, tinctures, and oils is in transit and should arrive soon enough, along with stock. Rumor has it she /also/ might be quite skilled at growing less traditional herbal remedies... or more traditional, depending on your historical outlook on humanity's relationships with the plant world. Place acquired. :) Soon open for business.
Crafting: Need jewelry made? Amethyst is fairly good at delicate metalwork, glass-blowing, and gem-cutting (both by hand and machine guided). Rarest stone in the world? Six point star garnet, and she's got a knack for cutting them.
