{{{ -Onychomys. -grew up in the equivalent of the american southwest. They tried to turn him anglo with a boarding school, but it only sort of took. -took part in the traditional totem hunt. Via a series of ridiculous events, he wound up falling in a river and having to kill a water moccasin without drowning, so he's one of the few Onys to have a water totem. -This led him into rumrunning, piracy, and just general aqueous malfeasance. -sought to make his way in the world. there was a war on, but he wasn't keen on becoming part of a (non)human wave attack, so he just sort of travelled around, avoiding the draft by disappearing where needed. -wound up running rum in the vicinity of Simha City. -rum runners, except with hotchkiss guns in the bed, forming small fast boat fleets -he used to work with the local flatfoots to take down the sewer rat syndicate. Who likes rats, see? -after prohibition ended, there was no money in that, so he just sort of puttered around, until pulling a few strings with the detectives he worked with on the sewer rat case. One of them said he had 'moxie.' this, he knew. -went from being 'one of the local faces who helps us' to 'hey i need a job heh heh' and settled in with the agency. -skills include going spearfishing with his native weapon, using a machine gun, piloting a boat, and astronavigation. That should be good. I'm fine with prohibition having recently ended as a historical element. }}} {{{ ok we'll call my character Elly Zuzekan unless we come up wih something better }}}
