## Profile **Corporate Role: Forecasting and Market Analysis** It was once the case that the outcomes of battles were divined in chicken entrails, and the rise and fall of kingdoms were teased out from the flight of birds. Today, the work of predicting the future has been taken from the hands of such rank amateurs - you can read democratic revolts in the random noise of the market and forecast wars from the travel itineraries of presidents. Where psychics of the past served the whims of kings, you have instead followed your gifts to become, quite literally, richer than sin. You have ridden this wave of success to be one of the leading agents of Eschaton Limited, where your analysis is tuned to the consumer trends in fae markets and forecasting the results of wars between demonic polities. ## Ambition Eschaton's victory tonight is already assured - you should know, you ran the numbers yourself. Tonight you are here to take a victory lap, to ensure that everyone knows how the world will be ended...and maybe to settle a score or two while you're at it. [[G Schultz]] of Pyrebane has confounded you at every turn - not through brilliance, but sheer stupidity. They **turned a profit** off of digital monkey artwork, for the devil's sake, and made you look the fool in the process. It is intolerable to imagine that the world might end before this...this 'tourist' **learns their place.** ## Claim Your signature move is to profit off of calamity - with your mind, it is trivial to predict a so called 'Act of God' months in advance. You've astonished your so called 'peers' by making risky (to them, insane) moves, only to see your margins explode months later. Even sweeter than the profit is the respect you win from those around you. **Anytime you make a 'gentleman's bet' with another player (that is, a bet with no or minor stakes), you may claim a Karma from that player.** ## Wyrd You don't lose money. That is as fundamental a law as gravity for you - it might mean making the entire rest of the economy suffer, it might mean the collapse of governments, but V Baros does not lose. **You must pay one Karma to a player in order to relinquish a possession, or to withdraw from a conflict.**
