Aradel Finarin stepped onto the dockside, and glanced back through the rain at the ship that had brought her from Tir Tanigire. She thought it would have been hard sneaking away from her ancestral home, hard escaping her family and their magics. The stiff northerly made her long coat flap. Resisting the urge to look back, she slipped into Seattle's shadows.

Aradel is a normal looking elf, average height and weight. Her skin is fairly pale, and her hair a red-purple colour. She likes to dress simply: black skin-tight tee-shirt, combat trousers, combat boots, long leather jacket and sleek modded glasses. Unusually for an elf, she has a surly attitude that borders on anti-social, preferring to shoot people rather than talk to them, and she likes to eat meat. Despite her normal attitude, Aradel can be very charitable and harbours a secret passion for tending bonzi trees.

Aradel was born a to a noble family in Tir Tanigire. Unlike most of her siblings and to her parent's displeasure, Aradel was found to be mundane. She consequently developed a strong dislike for magic, and ran away when she was 18. She has spent the past year running with the rest of the team and generally trying to keep a low profile. She has kept her reason for running a complete secret, even from the other members of her team. As far as they know she's just another down-and-out elf who goes by the name of Muffin. She quietly dreads the day the family catch up with her.

Aradel walked into the bar and straight up to the barman.

"What can I get you?" the man asked. Aradel placed a 20 nuyen note on the bar and slid it across. The cash had been hard to come by but she thought it was worth it.

"I'd like a slice of info pie," she told him, taking her hand of the note. The barman glanced down "What flavour?" he asked

"Job," she replied.

"Well, hey there muffin," said a new voice. Aradel turned to see a portly orc sat on a stool next to her. She didn't like the grin on his face. "I got a job for you." The orc reached out and grabbed her arm. Aradel looked down at his hand. She could feel his fingers digging in. She looked back up, bringing her shiny new Colt America into the folds of his neck.

"Let go."

The orc's eyes bulged, and his hand dropped.

"I'm sorry miss," the barman said, anger in his voice. "you're going to have to get your pie somewhere else." Roughly he pushed the rumpled twenty back across the bar. Without another word Aradel took it and walked out.

300 yards and a corner later, she stopped suddenly, and turned back the way she'd come.

"You may as well come out," she said to a seemingly empty street. There was a pause, then out of the shadows stepped a male human and a female elf. Aradel regarded them, her hand already on her gun. "What do you want?"

"To offer you a job," the man said, also stepping forward. "It'll be dangerous and difficult." She shrugged. Any job was better than no job.

"Count me in." In the half light Aradel saw the man smile.

"My name is Dev. This is Jet."
