RESTRAINT: 31 (+1 from NAOMI)
VIOLENCE: 16 (+1 from NAOMI)
TALENT: 16 (+1 from NAOMI)

BOONS:
[WELL-VERSED] Someone of his status is likely to know more about the City than you and Kiara combined. If you ask him the right things, you'll get some VERY useful information.

[BULLETPROOF CONFIDENCE] He rebounds fast from shocking events, given how quickly he was willing to assist you. Three times per mission, he may reroll any number of RESTRAINT or WILLPOWER dice on a skill check.

[HEAVILY AUGMENTED] Gregory's true stats have been revealed and christ, Gregory is 50% augments. He was holding back SEVERELY last time you saw him. Gregory takes 4 less damage from ALL sources and rolls d10s on all combat checks.

[CORPORATE ARCHDEMON] Not an actual demon but close enough to it. He autopasses any CONNECTIONS check against a non-Corporate Administrator or CEO. In addition, five times per mission, he may add half of his CONNECTIONS dice to ANY check.

BANES:
[GRUDGEHOLDER] He is out for blood. He wants nothing more than to kill the spooks that threatened his family. The others will need to reel him in this mission.

INVENTORY
-Came with nothing but you give him the following.

CONSUMABLES
-"UVX MODEL #222" (A experimental X-Corp ointment altered due to recent training data from a 'N.S.', meant for topical application. Applies FLESH regeneration and boosts max FLESH by 1 while active. Still has side effects when used.)

WEAPON:
SERVICE PISTOL x5 (Can't be an agent without it. ATTACK ROLL: TALENT+3. Treats 1s and 2s in combat as half successes. You may reroll two dice every time you fire this weapon. No one else needs these so he can have them! Fuck it!)

ARMOR:
REINFORCED BULLETPROOF VEST (Blocks 4 FLESH DAMAGE from firearms, 1 FLESH from all other sources)

AMMO
>ANTI-ANOMALY ROUND x5

CASEY SMITH

RESTRAINT: 6 (+1 from MOONLIGHT RAPIER, +1 from NAOMI)
VIOLENCE: 5 (+1 from NAOMI)
TALENT: 8 (+1 from CRYSTALLINE HONEYCOMB TIE, +1 from NAOMI)
WILLPOWER: 9 (+1 from CRYSTALLINE HONEYCOMB TIE, +1 from NAOMI)

CONNECTIONS: 7
COGNIZANCE: 4

PARADIGM GIFT: SUGAR CRASH [-3 to FLESH DCs, -2 to VIOLENCE DCs, OPTIMISTIC SPIRIT/HAND OF CORPORATE LOVE trigger more often!]
IMPLANT: "ELNIAI" IMPLANT (Once per mission, they may reduce all damage taken from an attack to 1, Spook implant), DAEMON IMPLANT (Has 2 charges. Can spend 1 charge to add +2d3 to any skill check, can spend 2 charges to: Heal a CRIPPLING INJURY, 2 FLESH, or 2 RESTRAINT. Regains 2 charges per mission.)

BOONS
[OPTIMISTIC SPIRIT] Something about this upbeat ball of energy is oddly motivating despite how weird she acts. While Casey is in the party, you and your party members will occasionally heal RESTRAINT.

[CORPORATE DOUBLESPEAK] No matter who she talks to, she's able to make sure they leave a positive review. Any speech check (regardless of stat rolled) will have its DC lowered by 4 and will offer better rewards than average. She can also get you one extra FAVOR the first time you earn FAVOR in a mission, though this has been spent.

[QUEEN BEE MINDSET] Kneel. Once per mission, if a check CASEY is a part of results in failure, she may choose to autopass it. Doesn't matter what check or how hard it is.

[PARADIGM PERSAUDER] Casey has a FAR better understanding on PARADIGMs and anomalous trinkets. While she's in the party, she reduces the DC to figure out or use PARADIGMs by 4. In additional, when she uses a PARADIGM herself, she gains the following bonuses
If it adds dice to her: She gains an additional +2d6.
If it heals her: She heals 1 more FLESH and/or RESTRAINT. If it offers regeneration, it triggers way more often.
If it's a weapon: She deals an unconditional 1 FLESH and RESTRAINT damage with it as long as she rolls 4 or more successes.
If it's none of the above: Case by case basis depending on the item.

[ANOMALOUS MEATBUG] Casey passively restores her own FLESH over time and is fully immune to most if not all physical-based status effects. Casey can also create a copy of herself once per mission. This copy has the same stats and abilities but none of the equipment.

BANE
[MERCURICAL] Her mood shifts from upbeat to nervous to sad to upbeat again in a blink of an eye, which is unnerving to interact with. Her mood swings are liable to bring unwarranted attention and cause unnecessary conflict with other allies.

WEAPONS:

SUGAR WAND X! SUGAR BEAM BLAST~! (RANGED WEAPON. ATTACK ROLL: CHARM*2.5 when used by Casey, CHARM*2 otherwise. Can fire five times  (six when used by Casey) before needing to recharge, which takes a while. The beams it fires easily melts through most materials.)

EQUIPMENT:
Gas Mask (Gas Mask. It does what you expect. Has three filters.)
'OATH TO CONTAIN' (A shield made out of sheet paper. Has an odd aura to it you can't put your finger on. Thrice per mission, you may add +1d12 to a RESTRAINT, VIOLENCE, or TALENT roll or to add 1 temporary FLESH and RESTRAINT to an ally as a barrier.)
A pair of Gorilla Grip gloves. For when you absolutely can't lose your grip. (+1 TALENT when climbing something and when resisting a disarm attempt.)
EARPIECE (Allows your whole party to communicate with each other even if you split up.)

CONSUMABLE:
FOUL TOOTH (A canine-like fang leaking a foul substance. Has two charges. Can use one charge to heal 1 FLESH and boost VIOLENCE and TALENT by 1 temporarily at the cost of temporarily increasing the frequency of UNSTABLE freakouts.)
STANDARD ISSUE MEDKIT (Has 3 charges. One charge can heal 1 FLESH, two can heal a CRIPPLING INJURY, three revives someone out of CRITICAL STATE with half FLESH.)
OIL BLACK BLOOD VIAL. (When used, improves your sense of smell, temporarily grants you +3d6 to all checks relating to locating a human, drone, or anomaly.)
ICP SYRINGE (A rare form of anomalous energy. May be injected to boost all stats by 2 for a short period, to permanently upgrade a power you have, or to induce an anomalous ability in someone. Companies will do ANYTHING to get this from you. Has INCREDIBLY potent side effects if used.)
DEADMAN'S SHIFT SUPPLEMENT (An off-yellow pill that reeks of sweat, energy drinks, and cigarette smoke. Boosts CONNECTIONS/CHARM/COGNIZANCE by 2 for a medium duration and boosts TALENT by 1 for a very long duration. Side effects may still apply.)

KIARA KELLER

[SEEKER OF THE CITY] Much like you, she's well aware of the City she's living in. She'll offer useful advice and information about the world around you and has a mild intuition on the needs and wants of Anomalies.

[ANDROID PHYSIOLOGY] Due to being an android, she's far tougher from a regular human. She's immune to disease/toxins/suffocation, ignores Crippling Injuries and takes -1 FLESH damage from most sources of damage with few exceptions (such as EMPs)

[MIMICRY MODULE] Kiara may temporarily copy the voice and appearance of other people. This can be used to trick and confuse people in combat or to unlock unique dialogue options during missions.

[ANALYZER MODEL UPDATE] Kiara's knowledge on the City has vastly improved, granting her obscure and forbidden knowledge that will help you during missions.

[DREAMSPACE MODULE] Due to the minor time dilation she experiences, Kiara has more time to think and react. She may reroll three TALENT or COGNIZANCE dice for free once per skill/attack. She also takes 1 less RESTRAINT damage from all sources due to having more time to process stress.

[ALL SEEING LEDS] Kiara passively connects to surveillance equipment all around her, granting her in the moment information about her surroundings. As a side effect of this, she may also passively glimmer information about the spooks even Naomi wouldn't know.

ANDROID UPGRADES
[ORGANIC BACKUP POWERSOURCE] Kiara is now immune to EMPs and has a +2d6 bonus to resist any attempts to hack her. Simple as.
[HUX-A7-OVERDRIVE MODULE] At will, Kiara can gain +2 VIOLENCE and TALENT at the cost of rapid FLESH drain.

BANES:
[RASH] She's liable to do actions without your approval and can get easily excited when an opportunity presents itself. Will not trigger as often thanks to you getting her to apologize.

BOONS
