RETIRED - Typhoid

My New Series, explaining how characters work. 1st up, you know 'im, you loath 'im, its Typhoid! This is a good example of a mage and an infected at work.

Race: Nosferatu Human. He is infected with a disease that makes him better than he was in life, though perhaps not as talented as he was.
(Cost:150 BP )

Attributes: (mix/max/aug max)
Body 4 (2/7/11) -20BP Charisma 3 (3/9/14)
Agility 2 (2/7/11) Intuition 3 (3/9/14)
Reaction 2 (2/7/11) Logic 7 (3/9/14) -40BP
Strength 2 (2/7/11) Willpower 7 (3/9/14) -40BP
His attributes all received a boost to their values with transformation. He also became faster, gaining +1 Inititve Pass. As you can see, his attirbute minimum and maximums give him incredible lateny talent, but the high cost of his race prevents him from taking full advantage of that from the start. He focused on his Logic and Willpower as these are the attributes that affect his magic the most.
(Cost: 100 BP Total So Far: 250 BP)

Special Attributes:
Magic 5 (?) -30 BP (1point Karma) Initive (Reaction+Intuition) 5 (2 passes)
Essence 10 (18) Edge: 2
The transformation to undeath changed how his essence works. Normally a human has 6 essence and a maximum magic = essence. But in Typhoids case his maximum Magic is 5. And he can hold up to 18 essence, draining it from others. But this is important to him because his essence bleeds off 1/6months. If anyone reaches 0 essence they perish.
(Cost: 30 BP Total So Far: 280 BP)

Active Skills (96BP)
Spellcasting 6 -24BP Astral Combat 1 -4BP

Summoning First Aid 1 (learned with Karma)

Like most magicians of any race, Typhoids skills are primarily magical. In order to excel he does not have time for much else. But none the less, in true Runner fashion, he gave a token nod to essentials like perception, infiltration, and first aid.
(Cost: 96 BP Total So Far: 376 BP)

Qualities:
Magician (15) Uncouth (+20) Carrier: Dzoo-Noo-Qua (+5)
Carrier: Goblin (+5) Carrier: Wendigo (+5)
Typhoids qualities pretty much had to be mostly negative to earn back some BP for other things. So he is a rude infectious beast of a being.
(Cost: -20 Cost So Far: 356 BP)

Nosferatu Powers:
Compulsion, Influence, Fear, Regeneration, Essence Drain, Infection
Enhanced Senses, Hearing, Low-Light Vision, Thermographic Vision

((Str/2)+1P, AP 0, -1 Reach)
Essence Drain Maximum: 18

Nosferatu Weaknesses:
Allergy: Sunlight (Severe), Dietary Requirement: Metahuman Blood, Essence Loss (6 months)
Naturally, being a vampire has some other perks and penalties. He can see in almost any circumstances, his hearing is above average, and he has uncanny abilities to affect the minds of those he comes in contact with. He can draint he essence from other beings and use it to enhance his own abilities. He cant get sick(er), will never age, and is immune to poisens. Of course he cant have all that without some penalties. Like the fact that sunlight can kill him rather quickly if he is unprotected.

Spells (27BP)
Alleviate Allergy, Mind Probe, Heal, Improved Invisibility, Improved Reflexes,
Stunbolt, Manabolt, Levitate, Power Bolt, Stun Ball
The bread and butter for mages. And yet another point loss for them. Typhoid chose a variety of spells enhancing his movement, combat, and health abilities. Alleviate Allergy is almost a given for someone who is allergic to sunlight.
(Cost: 27 BP Cost So Far: 383 BP)

Gear: (Cost: 13 BP Cost So Far: 396 BP)
Contacts:
Fixer 2/2
(Cost: 4 BP Cost So Far: 400BP)

Being a nosferatu has its benifits, but as you can see its expensive. He only got half as much as he could have for attributes. Had little in the way of cash. And will be starved for Karma for his entire career. Every spell costs 3 Karma, his attributes are going to be expensive, and his social graces will make more enemies than friends.
