Our Protagonist is
The Human Encyclopedia, a reenlisted retiree. They're human.
Their name is Blake
They seem to be made up of sharp anglular features. Some part of them always seems to be moving whether it's tapping toes, fingers moving as if typing, or their eyes darting about.

Their gender is
[ ] male
[X] female
[ ] Agent
[ ] fluid
[ ] write-in

They were part of the
[ ] FBI
[ ] NSA
[ ] Pencatte Police
[ ] CIA
[ ] Army
[X] Navy
[ ] Air Force
[ ] Marines
[ ] write-in

They retired because
[ ] Injury
[ ] Burnout (emotional)
[ ] Forced out (age)
[X] Forced out (annoyed the wrong person)
[ ] Supernatural Problems (tm)
[ ] write-in

They've been working around the Supernatural since before the world knew about the supernatural. They have more than their share of tricks, enchantments, magic items, and secrets.

Tell me 1-3 something in their every-day carry/something they can always do/a perpetual enchantment on their body. I.e., a knife that cuts enchantments; they can see auras; they've been enchanted to be resistant to possession (a la the Supernatural guys' tattoo)

[X] Write in: A 'mood ring' that looks like a plain silver band (and is in fact mainly silver) that picks up strong emotions. A choker consisting of three strands of jet beads and a silver pendant with an emblem of the USS Indiana BB-1 (the first US Battleship commissioned and which a great-uncle had been a crew member of) enchanted to protect her neck.


Our Novice
Ky, transman, likes his hair long and WILL break your nose if you call him a girl.
His race is unknown/mysterious
He's a hacker

Before PSI he was
[ ] in College
[X] in high school
[ ] in a tomb in the catacombs
[ ] Mr. Anderson


Give me 1-3 somethings in his every-day carry
[X] write-in: His cyberdeck, actually a heavily customized laptop computer. From the outside just looks like a ruggedized laptop, Ky has torn it appart, replaced unsatisfactory parts, and reassembled. An oversized dark grey jacket with hood that has only two visible pockets on the outside but a number of pockets on the inside that hold many of his smaller tools of the trade. One of a rotating collection of well worn copies of books that usually are only seen on bookshelves rather than actually read (The Silmarillion; Godel, Escher, Bach; volumes of Knuth's The Art of Computer Programming).

and 1 thing that he can do (i.e. speak to animals, teleport via wifi, burp melodic enchantments]
[X] Write in: Ooh, I like that first one, can communicate with animals


Our hitter & senior agent
The character is a grizzled vet that despite appearing human has a seemingly endless well of knowledge and experience to fall back on. Gruff leader type who directs the actions of the team. Their background is mysterious and shrouded in shadows. They get deference in places unexpected; official inquiries run into brick walls and off-books ones meet with equal ignorance or brusque dissuasion.

Supernatural: transformative

Their Gender Is:
[ ] m
[ ] f
[X] agent
[ ] fluid

Their species/type of transformation is:
[ ] Elemental
[ ] Vampire
[X] Were-creature
[ ] write-in


Give me 1-3 somethings in their every-day carry
[X] write-in: A collection of knives, including polymer 'tactical' knives as well as an enchanted wooden knife. A black book of cryptic shorthand notes the team suspects has to do with his many connections and ability to gain cooperation in unexpected places.

and 1 thing that they can do (i.e. speak to animals, teleport via wifi, burp melodic enchantments]
[X] Write in: Absurd healing.

I am going to shamelessly promote for at least one more answer, maybe two more? Two votes makes it hard to have a winner
