Appearance
The human female you look upon stands shy of two meters in height. She doesn't look like a body builder by any means from the looks of her muscle tone and stature. Her dark brown hair falls down past her shoulders with loose strands that refuse to lay still against her head. When she is not wearing sunglasses her vibrant green eyes scan the world around her with cautious optomisim mixed with a healthy dose of paranoia.
This woman is currently wearing a thick black jacket, a green button up blouse and bluejeans over top black shoes.
She is relaxed in conversation and carries herself with an air of confidence that is reassuring to those seeking leadership but yet flexible enough so that others who think they're the big-dog in the room she manages not to be offensive towards.
Distinguishing Features
Long brown hair, impressively beautiful.
Mannerisms and Habits
Speaks her mind (literally with Mindlink), not afraid to use Shapechange, prefers not to kill unless forced.
Associations
Founding Member of Magical Group: Muse
Capabilities
Astral Patrol/Recon, Magical healing, Shapechange, Good Biotech skill, Elementals, Good negotiations and etiquette, okay pistol and stealth, mind magics and much more.
The Hermetic Sisterhood
Case File: Samantha McDonald
Application: Full Membership
Date: 03-09-2072
I am writing my report to voice my opinion on a Miss Samantha McDonald application to our magical group. I have spent some resources to look into who she is and have discovered some unsettling things which she did not include in her application to our group.
First, She has a fake Identity. While she applied for memebership to our group under the name Samantha McDonald that is not who she really is. She is really a citizen of the UCAS under the name Nina Elizabeth Reynolds. This alone is a breech in our application and approval process to be deceptive from the beginning is starting off on the wrong foot. She did not lie about her age, her true identity also says she is 26 years old, a human female is also accurate.
What I discovered about her by hiring a private investigator is that she has been living in Detroit for the last several years and has been working for hire as a magical bodyguard. I believe that is polite-speak for she took whatever jobs she could get to make money.
I have to say that she at least does not have a criminal background and all information I have is that each job she has taken she has done so with honor and integrity. She has not killed anyone, even in self-defense. It looks as if the spells she listed on her application are accurate; stunbolt, heal, trid entertainment, improved invisibility, shapechange and sterilize. It is encouraing and to her credit that she has not focused her efforts toward combative destructive skills. She does seem to have some hope at a later date to be considered.
She does have ties though to a criminal family. Work was funneled to her in Detroit by a man named No-Neck-Roger. This man has extensive criminal ties and is related to a man here in Denver with similar ties. It is my understanding that Nina Reynolds has moved here to Denver because work in Detroit was continuing to slow down. The contact here in Denver is named Tony Marchino (No-Neck-Roger's brother). Tony has taken in Nina Reynolds and has so far been sending her on jobs much the same variety as she did in Detroit.
Nina's magical connections and supplier here in Denver is Rose McPherson, the human Talismonger that owns the shop down in the UCAS sector named Magical Mc's. The two seem to be fond of each other and Nina frequently spends time in her shop helping her organize inventory and investigate items that are brought in to be sold. Nina appears to have a real knack for Talismongering and knowing the value of items. She could really be an asset to our magical group in the future; but again her deception about her identiy causes me to vote to decline her membership at this time.
Nina is carrying on her person a sustaining foci she has earned through working with Rose McPherson at her store but as of yet has not bound it to any spell.
It's obvious that she wants to join a magic group here in Denver and develop her skills due to her submission into our group. She appears to have this fixation though with working freelance taking odd jobs and not settling down with a proper corporation for income. This wandering personality concerns me. She does seem quite loyal to those we have talked to about her and she seems genuine with them. hich additionally annoys me that she felt the need to deceive us on her application as to her identity. Otherwise I would be quite supportive of her application into the group.
This persona of Samantha McDonald appears to be a making from her criminal associates. I have yet to learn of her having taken part in any criminal activities, other than the meer ownership of a false identity itself.
Back in Michigan she left behind her mother and father. Her mother is magically attuned as a hermetic as well but her father is a politician. Her sister has married off and moved to Houston in the CAS. To my knowledge Nina has never been married herself and has no children of her own.
In learning as much as I could about Nina Reynolds she indeed has some good potential that if she can be fully honest with us in the future I may reconsider my declining of her application at that time.

APPLICATION: REJECTED
This is to provide people with an idea what kind of runs Nina would do or not do and why. Or under what circumstances Nina might do runs.
Assassination:
Possible if the person is a real dirt-bag. Above the law; child molester, rapist type. Even a messed up mojo-slinger that is perverting magic and causing a great deal of problems for everyone might be a good target to take down.
Bodyguard:
Acceptable and honorable duty.
Security Duty:
Would accept this mission if the money was right.
Burglary:
No real issues with taking this type of work.
Courier Run:
You bet.
Distraction:
People tell me often I can be distracting. I'm a natural.
Destruction:
Boom! Sure.
Enforcement:
Who's been causing you problems? I'll go chat with them.
Extraction:
Been there, done that. Will do it again.
Investigation:
Not my strongest ability (OOC I suck at trying to mind-read the GM's secret notes in his notebook)
Smuggling Run:
No problem.
Location:
Been known to have a presence in most sectors of Denver and beyond.

Nina is the owner of a Nursery in Denver at Glenndale (+map CAS).
From the street during the day and while the business is open there is an explosion of color of flowers and various types of plants. A large green awning reaches out from the edge of the building to offer shade from the sun on hot days and cover from rain on the rainy days. In the winter, the plants are not outside and the awning is pulled back to allow light to the windows for the plants on display in the windows.
Inside the Store
Elysium Fields's store front opens up into a wide room that is not very deep. Unlike the narrow storefronts of downtown where the real estate is worth more than the building itself, this building takes up a wide portion of street frontage.
Long sturdy counters line the walls and carry a wide range of planting supplies. Growing lights, hydro system valving and tubing, water timers, bags of Wonder-Grow, clay pots and anything the home grower might need.
Along the street side banks of large windows plants hang from the ceiling and are also displayed in the window sills and on benches. Ferns, perennials, annuals, roses even water lillies.
There is a counter off to the right side where an employee is always on duty to assist in customers purchases and offering them advice. Another employee is normally around watering and trimming the plants, restocking the fresh flowers in the large walk-in glass cooler along the back wall; or working on the other side of the "Greenhouse - Employees Only" door in the center of the back wall where a good quality maglock is mounted.

On occasion a glimpse back into the Greenhouse may be possible as employees move through the door on the back wall.
Nina is the lead founder of a magical group called "Muse". Led by the Avatar "The Muse" an ancient Greek figure of inspiration and knowledge the group is focused on seeking out magical wisdom and understanding.
