• Character faction: Clan, Sentinel affiliation

In case of a global emergency, she might feel pressured to co-op with OT, but won't like it one bit. I prefer her not to be pressured into that unless there is a very good IC reason to.
• Skills: Network. Can usually get people what they need through her contacts. Experienced mindshifter.
• How you might find out about the character: She is a well-known and staunch Sentinel supporter, CoT supporter, former CoT clerk and public figure. Link to her public personal file. If you are omni, you may assume she's had various degrees of warrants for arrest/interrogation since 29477/78.
• How to contact the character: IC tells, public channels (RKRP) or ingame mail. Always prefer IC, but am open to OOC if you feel there is a need to. I usually consider a tell is IC unless marked OOC by (( )) or [ ].

She's not too particular about hiding. Others who may talk about her: Redtricks, Ragunn, Hilfy, Mirkle. You can assume that the Xan civilization quest yuttos in Scheol may mention her or someone of her description if you wish.
• How to contact the character: Prefer to meet, and I'm ok with setting up a meeting via OOC tells. A tell, unless marked with (( )) or [ ], is considered IC. Unless Breyd has given you her name herself, she will be su****ious about anyone who sends messages on her comlink. Breyd is very arrogant and comes off as hostile towards pretty much everyone, but she will not betray her word, once she's given it.

Skills: 2-handed Weapons Specialist, Mech Mechanic. Mid Grade Hacker.
How you might find out about the character: Due to Extended Time in the unterraformed areas contact is nearly impossible. All known previous contacts are in the wind. Stories of his Exploits include solving the OT Assassination, leading attacks on Omni-HQ extensive alien and shadowlands campaigns. Known Long time COT Rep for multiple factions. He holds no loyalty to anyone any more. Closest known contacts were Bubbacrush and Nulion. Most others were kept at arms distance for a variety of reasons.
How to contact the character: Public channels will be easiest. Recommend IC communication only at first.

An Enforcer through and through this exile to Rubi-Ka has seen all and done even more. Few still remain to tell of his exploits, but that does not matter in the grains of sand which time is. His blade is still sharp, his mind sharper, and his Mech's weapons systems are fully operational. Returning to the lands he tamed chaos will follow in his wake.

[Kittiefixie]

Connection for: Hannah "Kittiefixie" Katsulas
Profession/Affiliation: Fixer, Clan
Home: Technically an apartment in Old Athen, but she rarely visits it.
Works With/Takes Assignments From: Will take short odd jobs for anyone who's Clan or Neutral as long as they seemed reasonable. Won't work with Omni-Tek.
Motto/Tagline: "The one who flees and runs away lives to keep on running another day."

Noteworthy Abilities:
Access to the fixer grid. Somewhat decent buffing skills. An affinity to meep away at first sign of trouble. Or just when leaving. Or going to the other side of the street. Or when she's bored. Or haven't done it in a while. Or...

Preferred Work: Couriering. Need something fetched or delivered at a fair price and you're in a hurry? Just call her. Have something small you don't want anyone to find? Ask her to keep it in a pocket and it will never be in the same place for long.

Important Information:
The fact that she's a fixer is pretty much common knowledge.
She is known by the call-name 'Kittiefixie', or more informally 'Kittie' in conversation. Will also react to the name 'Ceridwen', but will probably not respond to it if a stranger says it. She's begun using her first name (Hannah) again, but it's still not very common knowledge and she'll still be su****ious if strangers use it.

How to Contact:
Her callname is rather well known and she's very used to random people contacting her via comms (/tell), asking for help.

Prefer IC over OOC, but if you need to take something OOC, try poking me in the rkrpooc/#AO-Events channel. In emergencies use a /tell with OOC markers, such as ((…)) or […].



Connection for: Sara "Sadeia" Furlan, also known as “Saradeia”
Profession/ Affiliation: Adventurer, Clan
Home: Wherever there are trees to sleep under, or grass to sleep in.
Works With/Takes Assignments From: Clan, Neutrals. Socialises with anyone. And anything.
Motto/Tagline: "Hello new friend! Here's a pretty thing I found! You can have it!"

Noteworthy Abilities:
She can turn into different animals (leet/reet/wolf). Also finds her way around the wilderness very well and is usually found in the strangest of places.

Important Information:
She doesn't take assignments in the usual meaning of the word, but she'll always help Clan and Neutral friends out if asked to. She has no fixed schedule, so just ask. If she has nothing else planned she'll most likely set out to take care of it straight away.

Having spent a lot of time disguised as different kinds of native wildlife, she seems to occasionally forget that she's human. Rarely found indoors or in cities unless coming in for provisions. Occasionally she'll stop and rest at small, open camps, whether the inhabitants are human, rhinoman or something else entirely.

How to Contact:
If you see her around in person feel free to use Vicinity, but keep such contact IC. She's not very interested in mail and most of the time tends to forget she even has a comm.
She's very easily approached even by complete strangers. If you talk to her she'll assume that you're a friend even if she doesn't remember you or have never even talked to you before.

Prefer IC over OOC, but if you need to take something OOC, try poking me in the Rkrpooc/#AO-Events channel. In emergencies use a /tell with OOC markers, such as ((…)) or […].

Connection for: Nate "Mrtrocks" Menoza

Character faction: Clan Affiliated with the Sentinels

Class: Engineer

Factions the character would work with: Will work for Clans as long as the intentions are good, will work with Sentinels almost immediately, Neutrals that he knows well, and Omni-Tek only if ordered to or it is required for the task at hand.

Skills: Engineer, Good with a wrench, can build just about anything, and loves to tinker.

How you might find out about the character: You'll meet him in the Rebel quite a bit, or he'll be walking through Newland, he likes to do that while thinking. Or, if you're OT, I mean, he was a Sentinel. You'll probably find a warrant for his arrest somewhere.

How to contact the character: Preferably in person and IC in Newland or wherever you meet him, however if you want to get a hold of him immediately, tells are not a bad idea. If you want to meet OOC, I'll be in the RKRPOOC channel almost all the time I'm online.
