Occupation: Businessman (Black Market Specialty)
------------------------------------------------

You have the "Dark" Trait.

(-1 per level) Property: A Carefully-Maintained Front - As this is bought up, the character's apparently respectable business makes it more difficult for his/her illegal activities to be traced back to him/her.  This functions as the opposite of Traceable Ties.

(-1) Attack: Hired Goons (Body) - Your thugs drag the target off and dump him/her in the "Back Alley" Location.  His/her base Body is lowered by one for the remainder of the session or until healed, whichever comes first.  If this lowers his/her Body to zero, he/she is dead and should see a GM when possible.

(-1) Ability: Finding The Goods [mind] (Mind vs. Mind Challenge) - Social.  The target must tell you whether he/she possesses the specified item or type of item, and if not, then where he/she thinks it could be obtained.

(-1 per use) One Use: Protections Racket (No Challenge) - The target must either agree to pay for your protection indefinitely, in which case you receive an Influence point of his/her choice each session but must aid him/her if he/she is attacked; or he/she may refuse your protection, in which case you always add +1 to your side's total when attacking or helping to attack him/her.

(-1) Recovery: Nice Doing Business With You - Sell someone something that was obtained illegally and Recover a point of Mind.  Once per person per session.

(-1 per point) Influence: The Black Market

(-1) Modifier: The Black Market -> Anything For A Price - You may expend points of Influence: The Black Market to obtain goods that are being sold illicitly in Victoria.  Usually this is only possible between sessions, though if the item is sufficiently common, it may be possible to do so during a session as well.  The range of things that may be acquired in this manner is far greater than with most other commerce abilities, although so is the cost.

(1* per level) Flaw: Traceable Ties - As this Flaw is bought up, it becomes easier and easier for those investigating your activities and transactions to detect the illicit side of things.
