< Jia Sun Notes | Jia Sun Page | Jia Sun Magic >
Character Description: To mortals, Jia usually seems like a quiet, demure Chinese girl with a slender build and long black hair. Though occasionally it might seem her features shift when glanced out of the corner of one's eye. Her mien has the same build and hair, the same silhouette, but her skin, eyes, teeth and hair are a murky purplish black. As if she's a mass of human-shaped shadow.

A meager savings from what she's able to scrape together.
As a preeminent molecular biologist, Jia has a number of professional advantages to her Science, Medicine and Academics rolls. Always Be Closing (•): With the right leading phrases, your character can direct a mark to say what she wants, when she wants. This trips the mark into vulnerable positions. When a mark contests or resists your character’s Networking (•): At the first level of Professional Training, your character builds connections within her chosen field. Take two dots of Contacts relating to that field. Continuing Education (••): With the repeated efforts in her field of choice, your character tends toward greater successes. When making a roll with her Asset Skills, she benefits from the 9-again quality. Breadth of Knowledge (•••): Due to her advancement in her field, she’s picked up a number of particular bits of information and skill unique to her work. Choose a third Asset Skill, and take two Specialties in your character’s Asset Skills.
No one fooled by the Mask knows when she’s lying or what she’s feeling unless she allows it. Mortals automatically fail rolls to notice these things, as do polygraphs and other mundane lie-detecting devices. Supernatural creatures must engage in a Clash of Wills to notice her lies. Drawback: Intentionally dropping your character’s Mask deals her a point of lethal damage in addition to the normal rules (p. XX).
Your character talks circles around listeners. She speaks a mile a minute and often leaves her targets reeling, but nodding in agreement. Always Be Closing (•): With the right leading phrases, your character can direct a mark to say what she wants, when she wants. This trips the mark into vulnerable positions. When a mark contests or resists your character’s Social interactions, apply a –1 die penalty to his Resolve or Composure.
Can speak, read and write in Mandarin.
While the Fetch is head researcher for Tri Optimum? and member of the wealthy Sun family, Known and has status in corporate/executive levels of society... but this Jia has done her best to leave no tracks of her own to avoid conflict with her Fetch's life.
