Background/History: Nominally the beautiful Eurasian bodyguard for 14K Triad flunky Nicky Patricca, Silk is in fact a double agent, working both side of the law. To Nicky, she’s his bodyguard and assistant in running his restaurant and fronting for the 14K. To the Bamboo Union Triad, she’s a mole, infiltrating Nicky’s small organization with the idea of either taking it over, or eliminating it. And to the Hong Kong Police Department, she’s a deep cover informer, keeping them appraised of assorted Triad dealings. It’s wonder she can keep it all straight... and she’ll certainly pay in blood if the wrong people find out.
Personality/Motivation: Silk is walking a fine line and she knows it. Her normal outward personality is one of no-nonsense street tough (see her quote below), which enables her to interact with the Triad soldiers on equal footing.
Quote: “Hello-ooo. Hi. Up here. Keep talking to my chest and I'm going to stab out your eyes, capisce?”
Powers/Tactics: Skilled in both firearms and the art of Pakua, Silk is no idiot when it comes to a fight. If attacked by people armed with hand-to-hand weapons, she’ll respond in kind—bringing out guns usually means her foes will to, and that’s never good. If guns are in play, she’ll resort to several esoteric chi techniques she’s learned to help even the odds. She’ll use Natural Order to render herself virtually immune to their effects, and then try to eliminate the gun-user as quickly as possible (even if it means using Natural Order over and over). Since the effect lasts such a short period of time, she normally tries to make sure she’s not caught out in the middle when using it. As insurance, she’ll also use Willow Step, and if needed, Walk Of 1000 Steps. This will give her at least DCV 19, and makes for a very useful Presence Attack.
When fighting, Silk tends to be a defensive fighter, putting most of her levels into DCV. She’ll use Kicks and Sweeps to knock foes about, resorting to a Palm Strike against anyone who’s Stunned or otherwise vulnerable.
Appearance: Silk Deveroux is in a word, gorgeous. She looks good, knows she looks good, and can dress to emphasize this fact like no one else. Of course, assuming she’s as dumb as she is beautiful is a sure fire way to get your ticket punched.
Designer's Notes: Silk Deveroux can be found in the Feng Shui supplement Blowing Up Hong Kong. She’s only given a few sentences of description and no real role-playing notes, so I had to make up much of the information above whole cloth (using what little I did know about her as a rough guide). Game Masters should flesh out her personality to fit their in-game needs and add in some appropriate Psychological Limitations.
