Who's Ragwoman supposed to be, by the way? Is the suit of souls just on a gal for the time? Or a stylistic gender swap?

Leaning into the lore that the rags have existed for a long time as the "Great Collector Artifact" it felt like a nice time for the keeper of the rags to be someone new.

I like the idea that Rory Reagan, Vietnam vet, pawn shop owner, and vigilante has finally decided he is too old to be fighting baddies in the night.

The Suit of Souls now resides with Anna Levina, a mid level Gotham criminal with some perhaps not so distant ties to the organized crime of a distinctly Russian flavor. Given the theme of the Shadowpact we wrote up, I wanted to lean into a Ragwoman that is less a law abiding citizen and more a woman working to redeem herself, much like the souls trapped in the Suit of Souls, who can only find freedom by willingly helping the Ragwoman do good. It's not quite a curse as with Guillotine and the demonic sword she is forced to wield, but I'm hoping to explore a bit more the idea that Ragwoman understands/sympathizes much more with the criminals/villains/evil-doers she interacts and that she isn't exactly happy to have to carry the heavy (to her mind) mantle of Ragwoman.

I would love to have the now retired Rory make an appearance though, he could probably dole out some good advice.

I'm glad the idea of a team split up by players seems interesting, it sort of naturally ended up being how [@Bork Lazer] and I approached this.
