Character Sheet ~ Work in Progress

Name: Felicia Alexandra Rhodes
Nickname: 70X51N/Toksin
Age: early mid twenties (24)
Gender: Female
Gang: Ded Fonez
Rank: Member - crew lead
Appearance:
Five foot seven without boots, lithe frame built for speed, with fine features. Tends to wear purple, wine, or green cyber gear. Has a few boots that have been modified into rolley type. Features multiple piercings and changes them from time to time, and that's the ones that most people can see.








History: (Can be TBR, basics below)
Felicia became interested into gothic culture, especially cyber punk/cyber goth in her teen years, looking for identity in one form or another. The scene tends to attract those with wandering interests, views, those with personal struggles and issues, as well as those looking to find themselves, or at least something out about themselves. Despite the snickering of some Goths about Cyber Goths, she found she was attracted to the colors and styles, as well as the more electro based music. industrial and the other Goth related music styles were all good, and she didn't mind them she did find something she liked better.

Putting up with the quiet ridicule, she fell in with the crowd, and being one of the more attractive ones, seemed to draw attention from guys and girls alike. The amount of drug culture and the seemingly rampant casual nature of sex in the goth scene, and cyber goth was a little startling at first. Curiosity began to get the better of her, and she tried a few things she liked, and learned what to stay away from. She found that most often she came to the clubs to see friends, to party with like-minded people and generally have a good time. Soon, she had fallen into the after parties, which were less regulated and much more... interesting.

Her parents kicked her out after a time, not really understanding her personal exploration, that and the drug use and sex involved with the scene. Felicia precipitated some of it, finding their attitudes tiresome, close-minded and demeaning, picking fights here and there. The final straw had come when they had come home to find her in the middle of another girl she'd happened to like and know. So it was that she couch surfed, moving from place to place with friends. With no income, and no steady job, she began to keep and sell what drugs she got either just shared, or occasionally for a fuck or two, and occasionally skipped the drugs all together. In the end it was a moderately fun way to make ends meet.

Before long she had seemed to acquire a customer base, and was making decent money. Able to get her own place and start affording a vehicle, she hosted some parties at her own place. This went well for a time, and distribution, party favors, and cashflow all increased. Times were good. It was during this time period that she had heard of a man named Lucian Drake in the scene, making moves. He had an uncanny ability to bring people in, bring them together, and find solutions to problems, resources just seemed to flow to him. Then she heard word of the Ded Fonez, and the idea of the crew was new to her, but she liked the idea of something more unified than just friends and people she knew hanging out. It was great and all, and they were sort of one big family. Meeting with Lucien, she found that his ideas about group unity and working together, as well as the basis for underground enterprise, she was more than ready to sign up.

One by one the rest of the group began to join up and within a matter of weeks, their influence and ranks had swollen. Toksin was born in the process and began distributing party drugs and more. She found a niche quietly selling a good time, in whatever form, drugs, girls and guys, to guns. These days it's old hat and while she still enjoys partying and tries to have fun where she can.

While not the heaviest hitter, she has been one of the ones helping Lucien eat up territory lost by the Knives.. and may have been one of several responsible for helping wipe them out. Lately there's been a lul in all the fun.

Personality: (Can be TBR, basics below)
Open minded, fun-oriented. Perhaps seemingly a bit promiscuous, kinky, and sensual. Bi-sexual. Toksin is a girl who just wants to be herself and have fun, in whatever form. She follows instinct and spur of the moment, but she's by no means stupid. Most in the crowd are more intelligent and cerebral than the average bear. She's had to project a harder attitude in more recent days, having to keep a reign on people and territory. Outside of the Ded Fonez operation, she is a little withdrawn, as a lot of her public "face" covers a number of issues.

Weapon of Choice: [list]
  • In close - knife (preferably balisong/butterfly knife) and shock claw gloves

  • In conceal carry - compact frame KelTec 9mm with two extra mags

  • In combat - KMP9 or H&K MP7, compact, lightweight sub machine guns/personal defense weapons, usually suppressed with laser sights. Tends to use single or akimbo. Will carry appropriate reloads to expected conditions, and usually will wear at least basic armor.





  • Vehicle of Choice: Hyundi Genesis Coupe - laser metallic blue with Ded Fonez logo over the entire top, with indigo running lights, mostly unmodified
    Other: Took taekwondo in middle school and high school. Dropped out (of TKD and school) because of the party scene. Picked up street fighting from friends/boyfriends around her, as well as knife and stick work, equivalent to decent escrima/arnis. Total probably 10 years training. When she has down time, or when something is bothering her, she tends to roller blade, dance, run, and will have a go at a heavy bag.
    Thermite is awesome, and yes, not particularly safe. But it could be useful. hmmm...
    Ammunition might not be hard to come by at the moment, but the minute the zombies start showing up, people will lock and load. Reloading is a good idea, but you need the right equipment, and the right know-how, and time, and preferably electricity. Inverters can help but you need to know where to find them. I'm not saying you couldn't use guns, just that their use should be judicious and calculated.

    Suppressors could be made from oil filters, maglite flashlights (or other flashlight bodies), trumpet mutes, bottles, even a wool blanket and duct tape. The right know-how and a litlte bit of time is all they take, so I don't see that being a problem.

    A cruise liner could be good, and they can enact quarenteen protocols and keep the ship off shore, which should help. Smaller boats, zodiacs, wave runners, and the like would proablby be on board and useful for raiding. Yacht might be better. Mobile, easier to handle... but a cruise liner could have a lot more options, but its a lot harder to control if you have to move it, and its a lot of space to manage inside. Tradeoffs.

    Of course, the big key is to keep things fun or at least interesting and entertaining.
    I think we've lost our GM.
    I think the above sheet is pretty much complete for the time being.

    I would like to suggest a change in the Ded Fonez operation, namely that sniper rifles are not useful in enclosed, tight environments. Sure they might look cool, but they're traceable, over-penetrate and hit the wrong people in the wrong hands. They tend to have a slower fire rate, and are marksman/expert weapons. It is terribly easy to break out of the sight picture or optic's view in close quarters. The guns themselves are expensive, ammunition is expensive, hard to come by. It is impossible to conceal a sniper rifle.

    machine pistols, sub-machine guns, personal defense weapons, and carbines are probably better bets, as well as shotguns and pistols. Ammo is easier to find, most can be modded out to look crazy cool, and perform in a variety of ways. If firepower is a concern, an M-4 Carbine could be modified for the Beowulf system, and instead of firing little old .223 (5.56 mm), it now fires .50 caliber rounds, and will drop just about anything within 200 yards. Shotguns are virtually untraceable, unless firing slugs (which hit pretty freaking hard).

    Mostly, I think that sniper rifles would be really bad, unless used in the right circumstances.
    Sheet is work in progress, updates following. Stay tuned.

    Name: Darren Wade Miles
    Nickname: Lucien Drake/D4yg0n3 ("day gone" - a play on words, but also reference to the old god/being of Daygon, a creature of night and terror, the destroyer)
    Age: 30
    Gender: Male
    Gang: Ded Fonez
    Rank: L34D3R
    Appearance:

    History: (Can be TBR - basics are below)
    Darren got into the Cyber punk/goth and electro culture in the late 90's, early 2000's when it was beginning to emerge. Already into electronic music, he had begun to start down the path of a DJ, learning turntableism the old school way. Heavily into trance, techno, and other electronic dance music, he found a home with Electro, and Dark Electro. He took on the DJ name of Daygon/Daygone or Datura depending on the venue. Already part of an underground counter culture, he saw an opportunity to begin making moves and a way to make money besides music. That -opportunity was a combination of digital blackmail, guns, drugs, and sex. He began putting his ears out among the clubs, figuring uot who were just the party kids, and who were looking for something more. He created a persona of Lucien Drake, a shadow man who had everything. He began making things happen, meeting peoples needs, extorting money, guns, or supplies with the help of blackhats, and other shady figures. He also encouraged those working with him and for himi to have fun, be free, but also to be careful and smart. But most important: Answer when I call.

    For a time, there was no name to this group, that had grown from a few people to well over three dozen. Most were based out of electronic dance clubs, and nearly all of them were sporting some style of studio/DJ headphones, as most were audiophiles. Referred to as the cybergoths with the headphones, Lucian decided to found the name Ded Fones, and as the cyber-goth culture has grown, created clothing lines and legitimate labels with which to make money and also to somewhat unify the group's look. Soon, there were people finding the brand all over and the Ded Fonez popularity began to rapidly grow. Cops found it hard to distinguish actual members from just fans, and those wearing the label, which creates an intelligence nightmare, and an almost unenforceable status. You can't just arrest someone because of the label or clothes they're wearing.

    Over time, Darren had stopped DJ'ing without even realizing it. He'd had a love for the music, but somewhere, perhaps he had lost his soul in the transition from man of music, to man of murder and madness. He supposed it was fitting. These days, he spends most of his time keeping his power base in check, making business decisions, and perhaps roting somewhere on the inside. Over time, he's organized his people into automated sub-units, empowering his people to make decisions and persue operations. He runs the gang like a business, with underbosses, bosses, and shot callers passing information and orders across and up and down the chain of command. It's designed to so that he can break off parts of the group if they are compromised, like cutting out cancer. But also it means that he has free time, and doesn't micro-manage everything.

    Personality: (Can be TBR - basics are below)
    Intelligent, calculating, perhaps a bit mysterious, an element of showmanship. There is perhaps some underlying element of sadness to him. Darren does still dress the style, but also has a suit and tie variant when attending official gang functions, making appearances, and so on.

    Weapon of Choice: Various, prefers concealable, practical weapons
    Vehicle of Choice: Ripper - Modified Subaru WRX STI rally type car, has competition grade sound system and several illegal racing modifications
    Other: Darren has studied martial arts for twenty years, including various forms of kung fu, and has developed styles that work with music, but stand alone too. Has trained specifically for fighting in handcuffs/restraints, as well as escaping them once he started in on the criminal enterprise.

    Additional gang info (if GM approves): Ded Fonez label, and parts of the gang tend to be female dominated due to the connections to the scene, emo, goth, and cyber goth, cyber punk elements. Gang tends to favor electronic crimes to aid them. Most technically talented group, as stated also favors hallucinogenics, delerium drugs, and party drugs. Does feature several skilled hitters, in addition to cheaper options, and enforcers, and some cyber enforcers. There's something for everyone here.
