Description: "Macavity is very tall and thin, you would know him if you saw him, for his eyes are sunken in. His brow deeply lined with thought, his head is highly domed; His coat is dusty from neglect, his black hair is uncombed. He sways his head from side to side, with movements like a snake; And when you think he's half asleep, he's always wide awake."

Macavity is a slight boyish figure with a young, clean-shaven, semi-androgynous face, high cheekbones, and exotic almond shaped eyes which rarely blink or alter their cold cybernetic gaze. The tips of long, thin, lynx-like ears poke through the chin-length metallic blue bangs. He has the strong upper body build of a gymnast or swimmer and the smooth careful cat-like movements of a trained martial artist.

Macavity has expensive and refined tastes when it comes to belongings. Clothes are always the best that his nuYen can buy, not necessarily the current vogue so much as his particular style of dark, subdued colors and simple, clean lines -- with a definite gothic/industrial slant. The same is applied to his gear. SOTA, heavily customized, and minimalist -- stripped of everything but the features he uses.

Fastidious, meticulous, and precise, Macavity is greatly bothered by messy environments, and keeps himself and his homes impeccably clean and neatly organized. If he could he would have Makeover spell-locked onto him.

Fienna's Workshop



Cloaked from head to toe in dark clad gear, the figure before you looks menacing enough. A black synth-leather trench coat brushes the ground next to his full-length combat boots and blood-red armored greaves. Thin latex covered fingers extend from the fingerless shock glove on his right hand, while the silver fingertips extending from the shock glove on his left hand betrays the cybernetic replacement hidden under the sleeve of the coat. The high collar of the trench coat surrounds the close fitting collar of his bodysuit. A black and gunmetal grey respirator styled like the mouth of a snarling panther conceals his mouth and nose. Black polarized shades cover his eyes, with tiny glowing red LEDs on either side hinting at sophisticated electronics. With the black hood of his form-fitting body armor pulled down, his slick metallic blue hair shades his face even further. The tips of elongated ears almost hidden in the long bangs twitch slightly, scanning the surroundings.

His trench coat carelessly slung over the back of a chair, you observe the vast amount of gear strewn about his form fitting body armor. Pockets on the breast, shoulders and sleeves house radio, and communications gear. The two datajack leads extending from jackpoints hidden under the hair at the base of his skull lead to a small sealed backpack on his back containing a skillsoft jukebox and a portable computer. Beneath the backpack, a pair of Katars hang in an inverted V-pairing of sheathes. A pair of Browning Ultra Power heavy pistols sit at the small of his back in concealed holsters, while a pair of Savalette Guardians hang from shoulder holsters. A cut down Remington Roomsweeper is stowed on the right side of the pack containing the skillsoft jukebox, while webbing slings and breakaway holsters secure a pair of Seburo C-EX machine pistols over top of a slim holster holding a narcoject dartgun at each hip. Ceramic, blood-red forearm guards give added protection to the lower arms, while “taxi driver” powered holsters hold heavily modified Walther Palm Pistols retracted against the inside of the arm.

A highly modified pocket secretary pokes out of one breast pocket with thin shielded leads linking it with all the other electronic equipment strewn about his body. You recognize the bug sweeper/scanner disguised as a watch on his right wrist from the “Q” catalogue, as you do the “Thunderball” emergency breather tucked alongside his belt buckle. Four cylindrical devices, two on the left, and two on the right are clipped to the belt as well. Thigh holsters attached to the belt contain another pair of Brownings, and the straps for a housebreaker harness are cinched around thighs and waist beneath the belt.
