Character description: "Hazy Jane" King

"Hazy Jane" has earned her nickname from drugging potential victims with knock out drops after having lured them into a hotel room or similar. "Hazy Jane" then proceeds to steal all their belongings and make sure that she leaves a hefty tab from the mini bar on her way out. "Hazy Jane" also indulges in blackmail, making sure that she has some incriminating photographs to show interested parties should the need arise.

"Hazy Jane" was born Phyllis Janice King in the worst parts of Chicago in 1918. She managed to get a job as a secretary at one time, but after the boss suggested that they go to a hotel to "have some fun on the company tab", "Hazy Jane" quit the job, brained her boss with a heavy candlestick and made off with all his money.

"Hazy Jane" tried prostitution But found she didn't like it very much, and besides, her talents ran more to the robbery and blackmail kind of life, since the profits were much better that way.

"Hazy Jane" has a working relationship with many criminals in the city, most of whom she has made perfectly clear that any other relationship might prove fatal. She sometimes takes lovers, but she usually makes sure to dump them at first sign of "trouble" - that is, them professing their love to the very charming and beautiful Jane - and so far she has managed to rack up a sizable amount of youngsters just dying to help her out if she needs them.

Her longest working relationship is with a shady P.I. known as "Stubbs". "Stubbs" is the man taking the pictures that has kept "Hazy Jane" and some other criminal elements of Chicago out of prison for quite a while.

Personality: "Hazy Jane" is charming and can be very persuasive and seductive should she feel a need to be. She can also be hard as nails when it comes to negotiation. She's also very strict as to whom she lets into her life. "Hazy Jane" has been hurt once too often.

Looks: "Hazy Jane" is a true knockout. She's got well brushed long black hair, carefully curled to form a soft frame for a slim and sophisticated face. "Hazy Jane" is beautiful in a timeless fashion. Some compare her to Nefertiti, and someone once said that she has a face that will never grow old.

She's curvy, but not fat. Curvaceous is a word commonly used when describing her. She's not shy of showing herself off either, often choosing quite modest but very sexy outfits.

Genre: Mutant - Undergångens Arvtagare
Inspiration: A discussion on the Mutant forum about player characters and the uses of cooking in the game.

Character description: Jemmy Håning

Jemmy Honey is a master chef, and so exclusive that her dishes can be found nowhere in the usual restaurants. No, Miss Honey you'll have to book, including the menu, at least a month in advance before the party. A booking results in miss Honey taking her traps, herbgathering tools and a huge assortment of jars and boxes on her little van, and move out in the wilderness to gather her ingredients for the coming feast.

Jemmy also brings her own cooking equipment to the party, and many a nobleman has felt his stomach turn as the dainty little mutated ferret swiftly and precisely bites the head off of some of the live animals she has captured for the party.

Usually, it's worth it, since the scents wafting from Jemmy's little portable stove make even the most well cooked lobobster smell rather plain.

Jemmy is a brilliant cook. And a brilliant trapper, and she's very valuable to bring along on prolonged trips out into the wilderness since she's very able to find food and cook it.

Personality: Jemmy is a very agreeable little ferret, and as long as she can cook, she's very happy. She's a bit neurotic when it comes to her tools, and she's not very happy if she has to leave any of it behind.

Looks: Jemmy has a fairly large nose and a cleft upper lip. She's got small ears, and short white fur in her face. Her eyes are very big, and totally black. She's got a long body and fairly short arms and legs, and she also has a tendency to bark happily when she's excited.
