Leonardo Animusphere Fidano's Employees Files [hider=Winnifred Pylypyshyn] [b]26 YO Psychic with a High School Diploma and some Nursing education. Possesses the ability of psychometry and Mystic Eyes of Refinement.[/b] "Certainly an eccentric one, possibly some untreated psychiatric/psychological issue. In normal job employment, this would usually be grounds to reject her application, but as a mage...well, Winnifred would not be the most eccentric individual I've done business with, so to speak. Besides, psychometry is too useful to pass up in this line of work. Plenty of information can be gathered from objects in relevant locations. Mystic Eyes of Refinement is also very versatile." [/hider] [hider=Mimi TucknShine] [b]24 YO former Clock Tower Mage of Count rank from Norwich. Uses some sort of self-suggestion magecraft to manifest various alter egos with different specialities.[/b] "In terms of versatility, probably the most valuable recruit, able to round out the skillset of the rest as needed. Her experience as a private eye would probably also ensure a smooth transition to this line of work. The use of the word 'muggle' in her cover letter suggests that she had integrated well into the mage culture in America, which tended to use those sorts of pop culture references compared to the more reverent atmosphere of London's Clock Tower. An heir of a somewhat established mage family going to 'backwater' America on her own volition is quite odd. Then again, she is from Norwich. Plenty of eccentric students there, I hear. Befitting of its Lord, I suppose. He certainly was an odd one when I met him back in the Fuyuki Holy Grail Dismantlement War. Like many of that department's students, it seems like she took after the Modern Magecraft Lord as well." [/hider] [hider=Selene Nightshade Morgrave] [b]20 YO former Clock Tower Mage of Cause Rank from Yumina. Uses withcraft-based familiar and curse magecraft.[/b] "Probably the most effective combatant of the new recruits, definitely the most accomplished mage as an enforcer trainee. Surviving a Dead Apostle is no joke, even if it was probably the lower ranks Dead Apostle. Has the typical history of Clock Tower mages who flee to America, someone who was 'defeated' in the Clock Tower political arena and went to America to plot a comeback. In her case, it seems like some political shenanigans between the Lords, though, given her contact with Prelati, I wouldn't be surprised if she's involved somehow. In any case, seemingly a prodigy with potential to maybe reach Pride if she had continued as a mage in the Clock Tower. Definitely more potential than myself as a mage. Still...even with that talent, her mentioning seeking revenge on a Lord in her cover letter suggests a level of overconfidence." [/hider] [hider=Richard Norton] [b]21 YO former bodyguard working for the Zafu Association. A martial artist who also possesses some skills in Eastern-based medicine.[/b] "Seems to be less unhinged than a lot of the Zafu Association members I've met...which is good, as the typical Zafu Association member would probably freak clients out. I'm a martial artist myself, but from what I saw during his interview, he's definitely much further ahead in his breathing techniques. In a fight of pure martial arts, he probably can match me even when I'm using my Beast Magecraft reinforcement, which I'm quite good at; if he uses his boluses to strengthen himself, I would definitely lose in a straight fight about 7 out of 10 times. Either way, a valuable addition to the team. Hopefully, his past with Zafu won't be an issue in the future." [/hider] [hider=Sunny Clearview] [b]36 YO former special forces. An expert in firearms with Mystic Eyes of Prana-Sight. Have extensive experience working for the DoM.[/b] "A soldier who has passed the DoM M7 track is no joke, especially one who can actually use some magecraft. Plenty of freelancers use guns because of the legend of the Magus Killer, but just ended up getting killed foolishly, because it was not that 'the Magus Killer was great because he was using guns against magecraft', it was 'Guns were great against magecraft because the Magus Killer was the one using them.' M7 soldiers are those who are actually trained to make guns work against magecraft. Even aside from combat skills, his experience in dealing with supernatural cases and understanding of the DoM's inner workings would serve well, as the rest of the teams seem to have little direct experience with the DoM, and we do take contracts from the DoM fairly often. Still...whatever made him quit the DoM better not rear its ugly head." [/hider] [hider=Derald Smith] [b]20 YO Clock Tower drop out. Uses poison-based magecraft and is a toxicologist. Has underground criminal contacts.[/b] "Magecraft-wise, pretty inconsequential as a Frame-rank mage, but that's not why I hired him anyway. He has underground contracts, and unlike Richard, seems to still be in somewhat frequent contact. In this line of work that often takes on jobs that would be classified as 'Grey Zone' cases, underground contacts are invaluable. It is interesting that a spellcaster would enrol at the Clock Tower, even when he dropped out in the middle. I asked some friends at the Clock Tower, and apparently, he's from a 500-year-old family that had fallen into ruin. That particular family is indebted to a certain crime family, so I'm pretty sure I know who his contacts are. An heir to a 500-year-old family who is not interested in the Root...well, if his family is anything like mine, his parents would be livid, and mine is only 300 years old." [/hider]
