Background:
Lost Echoes was an up and coming band in the Seattle ‘plex over the past few years. Combining the raw gritty power of troll metal with symphonic overtones and the angelic voice of the lead singer Z balanced by the guttural vocals of Peter. They managed to bridge the metahuman gap and gain a large cult following that, while consisted mostly of Trolls, Humans and Orks, included members of all races and crossed into several nations.
Unfortunately just as LE was on the verge of global popular recognition tragic struck and the deep guttural voice was removed from the world, Peter died under unknown circumstances. At the news of his death several members of their fan base ended their own lives, notes all stated that they were joining Peter in death. Many theories exist as to what happened to the troll vocalist but the remaining members of the band will not answer any questions on the issue.
Following Peter’s death the band dissolved much to the dismay of their loyal and often fanatical fan base. Some members have gone on to other projects but none with the success that LE was enjoying. The angelic voice of Z has not been heard since Peters death, she has completely disappeared into the shadows.
I for one feel that Z’s silence is one of the most tragic parts of this story, anyone who was blessed by Allah with a voice like that is doing the world a disservice by not using it. I pray daily that she will once again return to grace the world with her voice.

Z is a classically trained singer, who takes great pride in her singing ability. Even after she awakened with adept abilities she would not use them to enhance her singing, with the exception of using voice control to project her voice without using an audio system that she says ‘distorts the sound and makes it unnatural.’
At one point, after hearing her sing, Peter approached her with a proposition to start a new band in the tradition of the old symphonic black metal bands from the turn of the century. Together Peter and Z formed Lost Echoes and combined the complex musical rhythms of operatic music, with the hard guttural sounds of troll metal. Also Z voice when paired with Peter’s created an enchanting sound that appealed to many. At some point Z took Peter as a lover and their relationship only enhanced the magic of their music.
Lost Echoes had gained a significant cult following when they were approached by an agent of Horizon Corp with an offer to make it huge. It took some time for the two parties two agree on the details of the contracts but the night before the contracts were to be signed Peter met his demise.

Only the members of the band know exactly what happened that night and they have all sworn to not speak of it. Lost Echoes was also a front for a team of runners. They used their status of rock stars to get welcomed into some places that other teams would have to use more devious tactics. They also used their status as trolls to their advantage when necessary. Z was not part of the team, nor did she approve of the shadowrunning aspect of their careers but accepted it. Peter promised her that this would be the last run; with the signing of the contract they wouldn’t need to anymore, and he and Z would be able to get married. Unfortunately the run was a setup and everything went to drek. Security descended on the team like they were a cupcake in a fat camp. Peter worked to hold them off while the rest of the team made it out.
Without Peter the band dissolved, Z had no desire to sing anymore. She has stepped back into the shadows where she is using her other talents to become a face, her goal is to find out who set up the team and when that happens she will bring them to justice…Troll justice.

Z is a practicing Yogi and as a result has no desire to harm any other living creature (Other than those responsible for her fiancé’s death) and as a result does not eat meat [I gave her an allergy to meat to represent what would happen if a long time vegetarian ate meat]

[To get an idea of the type of music I am referring to, seed a station in either Pandora or Slacker with Sirenia, Elis, Tristania and Tarja]

Swami Batar: Loyalty 4, Connections 1
Saint Nougat (fixer): Loyalty 1, Connections 4

Background:
Lakshmi, as she prefers to be called in honor of a goddess, is the youngest daughter of a poor family in Punjab, India. She is also the only member of the family to have the gift of being awakened, her family saw this as an opportunity to advance in society, an awakened child could be married to someone of much higher social standing. She was fostered to the Swami Batar to learn to use her gifts in the tradition of the Brahmin. Luck was not on her side one night, a group of thugs mistook her for the daughter of a Punjabi Prince and kidnapped her. They managed to sedate the poor girl and turn her over to a team of runners from seattle. When Lakshmi finally awoke she was in a van in Seattle. Since she was not the teams intended target they did not know about her magical abilities so she managed to escape from her attackers. Now she is alone, broke, and in a strange city with only the clothes on her back. Fortunately a kind man helped her out by introducing her to a fixer.

Lakshmi is a lovely petite young lady with dark brown hair and eyes, her skin is a golden tan color. She proudly displays her bhindi and wears the Sari that she was wearing when she was snatched, she has hidden jewelry to avoid being mugged. She is very ignorant of the world but hold tight to her beliefs, including the belief that all beings are interconnect, to do harm to one is to harm one’s self. At this point, all she wants is to be able to return home.
