Neil Gaiman: "I started imagining a world in which we replaced the phrase 'politically correct' wherever we could with 'treating other people with respect', and it made me smile."..."I know what you’re thinking now. You’re thinking 'Oh my god, that’s treating other people with respect gone mad!'"

The Sight: Few can percieve the Fair Ones, only their effects. You are gifted with the sight.

Born in the suburbs outside of Philadelphia in 1993, teenage Lucas was enamored with getting involved in stopping terrorism. He graduated college in 2015 and got a job for three years with the FBI's special surveillance group before he got his chance to attend the Academy as an Agent. He spent his first assignment in the Washington Field Office, excited for getting into some counterespianage for real, but spent the whole time doing scut-work background investigations. He begged for a transfer (ANY transfer) and ended up in New Haven, CT.

He was raised Polish-Catholic, attending
Our Lady of Czestochowa Shrine, which venerates a painting of the Black Madonna reported to have been painted by Saint Luke himself. As a boy he felt most at home in the sprawling cemetery there, imagining he could see and talk to the generations of his family buried within.

Conner Kelly

Role: Occultist/Musician

Spirits: d8
Performance: d8
Languages: d8
Law: d8
Perception:d8

Gear:
Credit limit: $3000
t-shirt
Tattoo (right bicep, flaming skull with blood dripping from it's fangs)

Name: Euterpe
Service: protection
Offering: music


Background

Older brother to Thomas, Conner works as a paralegal at the Woodgreen Civil Liberties lawyers, at night he plays bass in local rock band Vorpal Hunger and dabbles in spirits, both the alcoholic and occult type.

Vorpal Hunger is a standard hard Rock band, that also drifts into things a little more funky like the Red Hot Chili Peppers as well as being influenced by Scottish rock band Biffy Clyro.

Conner joined Wood green straight after graduating high school, initially as a general dogs-body but he soon started to show a nack for the work and good attention to detail, so he took night classes and eventually completed his training as a paralegal two years ago.

Conner has been able to see spirits since he was a little boy. His mother told him that the gift ran in her family, although she only had a modicum of talent and his brother, Thomas, apparently has none. As he grew up she taught him what little she knew. The last time he saw her was when she visited him just after she died in a car accident six years ago and asked him to take care of his brother. That was what spurred him into becoming a paralegal.
