Magdalena James

Magdalena "Mags" James is a undercover member of the Church, a Hunter, and a freelance hacker. A new arrival to Clifton Forge, she is currently unemployed.

Physical Appearance
Mags has an athletic build thanks to her years of training with the Church. She has brown skin and curly black hair. Her body has a few scars here and there, but none that are of much note. Her ears are heavily pierced with multiple earrings, including plugs in her stretched earlobes. Her nose is also pierced. Her most distinguishing characteristic is the faded tattoo that travels from below her chin, down her neck, and down her chest and back. It calls to mind something technical, like a microchip or something of that nature. She has an additional tattoo on her right calf of a rosary with a cross and birdcage.

Personality
Mags is a woman of few words when she first meets someone, which can come across as aloof and disinterested. She typically appears polite and educated when she speaks.

Powers and Abilities
HUNTER:
 * Standard Hunter abilities: Resilience, Focus, Physical Prowess, Conviction, and Bone Manipulation
 * Combat Mastery- Hand-to-hand
 * Weapon Mastery- Knives

LORE MASTERY:


 * Computers - Computer literacy and hacking

ADVANCED ABILITIES:


 * Psychometry - Useful in tracking, a hunter can touch people or objects to obtain recent details on activities or how the object was used. If attending a scene where murder has just taken place, a hunter can touch various objects to gain insight on what and how it happened. A hunter may also be able to sense who owns a certain object but they must already know that person first (be familiar with their psychic signature).

DIVINE GIFTS:


 * Astral Projection - Here the hunter enters into a trance and sends his/her spirit free to wander the world. The hunter can only travel to locations already known to it, but can remotely view anything currently happening at that location (consent required unless the location is public). This spirit entity can be seen by all others as a ‘shadow person’ in the shape of the hunter, and like any spirit, it can be banished.

History
From the moment she came screaming into the world, she was set into the path of a Hunter. Her mother, known to her only as some junkie who had the misfortune of getting knocked up, was deemed unfit for motherhood and the baby given over to the local orphanage. She was nameless for several days as the orphanage tried to place the newborn with a loving Catholic family. It was never to be. No white picket fences or loving family for the child soon to be named Magdalena Theresa James. She was spirited away by a shadowy faction of the Church and indoctrinated into the life of a Hunter. Her life became training and study for mastery of her craft.

Mags continued to learn and grow within the order. Her vivid childhood dreams were actually Astral Projection that she grew to master. Her knack for knowing secrets due to Psychometry. These skills along with others had become part of her training. She learned eventually that she was selected for her abilities as her mother had once been a Hunter before falling prey to the allure of her next fix. A fix that eventually killed her, instead of an attack by a supernatural creature. A shameful death for a Hunter.

She was a number among the other initiates, barred from making friendships unless it would suit the training. A loathing of all things unnatural developed deep within her core as she trained. Upon release into the world at eighteen, Mags realized how truly alone she was. No prospects outside of Hunting, no education, and no money. She took gigs from her contacts within the Church and made her first kill at age 21. From then, she lived as a chameleon, blending in with society learning to wear the mask of an average human, but all the while Hunting.
