Destruction Worker
You're an employee of Charles Pang, CEO of SLC Consulting Engineers, an architectural and engineering firm and construction company. You just don't work in the office. Or on the job site. Well. It's a different kind of job site. Whether you're a courier, a hitman, or some other sort of merc, the Camarilla knows to call on you to get the shit done and even pays you for it, even though you're on the papers as an overpaid bricklayer, freighter, or -- get this -- "day laborer", heh. Your nightly role as a mercenary will sometimes put you in the Sheriff's pile of straws to draw for Deputy, and when those nights come it's time to pay your undead levee to the feudal system. When Duty doesn't call, though, Pang puts you to work with 14K and the Wah Ching. Occasionally you'll run into trouble from 14K's rivals, Sun Yee On, and if you're particularly unlucky you'll run into their Sabbat associates. But hey, at least you can charge a premium for those jobs.
When taking Violent Entrepreneur, you can pick one of the following perks:
- Ally (Katy Cox): A lot of people think Katy Cox, Toreador Whip, as little more than Charles Pang's bangtern, but this pretty Prada blonde is a ride or die bitch with plenty of tricks in her little clutch purse. She preens over the title of Keeper of Elysium, coordinating events and renting out galleries, convention centers, and eccentric attractions, meaning if you need to get in somewhere, time to call Cox. You can take Cox as an ally under the premise of being in Pang's good graces and/or working alongside her successfully in the past. As Pang's childe, she'll do exactly what he tells her to, with glitter and gusto (technically Allies must be mortal only, this is an exception). You'll be able to call on her as IC backup in your adventures.
- Influence (Criminal or Industrial): Get 1 additional dot of Influence, applied after character generation. Our Influence system has specialties in it: if you pick Industrial Influence, you'll get the Construction specialty tagged to SLC Consulting Engineers. Engineering sounds boring until you get to meet the fire marshall and the demolitionist on retainer thanks to Pang's connections -- or hell, the inspector who winks with both eyes. If you pick Criminal Influence, pick between Human Trafficking, Drug Trafficking, or Arms Trafficking. This Influence will be assigned to the 14K Triad, Wah Ching, or Inagawa-Kai (the Yakuza), your pick.
- Ability Boost (Larceny, Intimidation or Streetwise): Allocate 2 additional dots into either Larceny, Intimidation or Streetwise, applied after character generation.

He cana nd will teach Necromancy, but only if purchased separately as a Mentor and to characters with an earnest commitment to practice his voodoo methodology.
