Marion Vandameer

Concept

Created by Jon Freeman using the following INWO cards: Eco-Guerillas, Cold Fusion, Clone Arrangers, MI-5, Lab Explosion, Car Bomb.

I'd like to tell you something about Marion, but I'm afraid I am waiting for Jon to email me her concept and story. Until then, all I can tell you is that she's an eco-guerrilla who used to be a scientist.

Age 35.

Goals

  • Revenge: Marion is driven to find those responsible for killing her family and bringing them to justice.
  • The Clone Arrangers: Marion wants to uncover the Clone Arrangers’ conspiracy and their connection to MI-5. And then expose it all.
  • Someone to Look After Her: Although Marion is independent, headstrong and capable, she’d like to find someone to look after her, for a change.

One Shot

  • Astounding Judgement

Problem

  • Marion has been infected with a genetically engineered retro-virus which is used as a controlling threat by the Clone Arrangers. If she doesn’t receive regular doses of the controlling agent, the retro-virus will turn her insides to a messy sludge, similar in effectiveness to the ebola virus. She is able to get the controlling agent from Karl Bernstaad. (-1 point)

  • Boating (1 point)

  • Lose a Tail (1 point)
  • Come-to-bed-eyes (1 point)

People You Know

  • Chris Curry: An extramarital lover. Marion called off the affair five years ago when it threatened her marriage. Chris said he was a travelling salesman, but Marion isn’t convinced he was telling the truth. She hasn’t contacted him since her family was killed. Yet.
  • Jean Delaque: Jean is a radical eco-terrorist from Canada. He has military training and is the leader of Marion’s cell. He is a good leader. Jean is wanted by the US authorities.
  • Billy Two-Sticks: Billy is a native American vampire. She is also an eco-guerilla, in Jean Delaque’s cell. Billy has an earthy sense of humour.
