"Was Barathi Spider. "Left." Took up privateering."

This character's medicine cabinet was very interesting. <grin> The backstory here would probably have been very important, since the normal way one leaves the Imperial Spiders is in a casket. Unfortunately the player was ill when it came to play the character, so we shall never know if she was as obsessed with poisons in play as much as she was in character creation. <grin> She was played by a stand-in in the test session, who was notably uncurious for a spy.

"Cursed from birth with a poor sense of direction, Yuko frequently gets lost. But it usually turns out all right in the end, as she frequently stumbles on something to her benefit in doing so."

Again, another character with a good potential backstory that couldn't be played by the player on the night (a stand-in was used who did an admirable job). In an extended campaign I would probably handle her Foible as a spiritual curse/blessing which increases in power as she approaches Sha Ka Ruq. Obviously she offended some very powerful Koldun or spirit of that island when very young (or she has "a Destiny"). She is actually quite Wealthy on Sha Ka Ruq, as she is quite famous for getting lost (although she has little opportunity to benefit from this inadvertant side effect).

She also drew a very nice picture of her character and Ziku which I will show you as soon as I work out why my scanner has stopped talking all of a sudden.
