Other People of Note
Jimmy Short-Hand
A former 'master thief' who managed to get three of his fingers blown off in the process. His experience with explosives has been more useful in his work with the Promptuary as a skipper.
Lambda
Originally from Bone Script, Lambda currently works as a skipper in Senary. His ability to alter the wavelengths of light around himself is indispensable in his work as a master thief. No one really knows what he looks like, as he prefers to blur his face in the company of others.
Katernium
A Bone Script skipper, Katernium is known for being brutal, blunt, and getting the job done. She does not tolerate people who can't follow orders. Her minions, having seen the consequences of disobedience, are loyal to a fault.
Crimson Raid
A new recruit in the Promptuary rumoured to have gained the favour of One through a particularly creative use of his power to manipulate things coloured red. A friendly and cheerful young man.
Location Information
The Capillaries
The name given to the various passages under Capital City (and, indeed, much of Europe). Primitive and rarely lit, these tunnels connect some of the Heart bases, and are a useful way to escape from the scene of a crime. Due to their labyrinthine nature, many members have been lost in their depths. Rumour has it not even the three bosses have a complete grasp of the tunnels' geography.
Tony's Music Shop
No one actually knows who Tony is, but they do know that his shop is a useful cover for some operations in Capital City. Valuables are transported in carefully weighted instrument cases.
The Mansion
A mansion in the south of France, often referred to simply as the Mansion. Never officially linked to crimes, it is used as a neutral ground to plan some operations, and work out where to sell stolen goods. The goods themselves are, of course, forbidden from the premesis. The bosses do not want to lose this useful location, and any who do not respect the rules face severe punishments.
What we Really Think
The Separatists
”I mean, we can definitely do business together, am I right? Either we both get what we want, or we let those idiots take the fall. Some people may hate us, but they hate the separatists more. Our chaos is small. The chaos they could bring… Well, barely anyone wants that” - Crimson Raid
Temple
”Who cares?” - Katernium
”We should break in some time. Steal some stuff, find out what's really going on… Given what these groups are usually like, we'd likely be doing everyone a favour” - Jimmy Short-Hand
The Summits
”People expect us to be undisciplined thugs. Making them think that isn't a problem. We can use this as an opportunity to lie, cheat, steal, all the things we do best. But there's no way there isn't more going on here than meets the eye. And I want to know what it is. There's profit to be made from secrets” - message from Prime, received and passed on by Lambda
The CRUSH
”If they get in our way, I'm stamping them out” - Katernium
”Some of my favourite recruits are from the CRUSH” - One
Recent Events
Panic in the Sky
And opportunities below. While others try and fix what's broken, we can reach through the cracks and grab what people are too busy to watch. While the heroes are distracted, we're the lesser concern.
Of course, there are others who have caught on to this idea. With some of our storages flooded or left more vulnerable, people have taken the risk to steal from us. Those people don't seem to understand just how good at revenge we really are. Members are encouraged to teach them. Rumour has it that Alpha is particularly keen for the return of stolen goods and blood spilled.
Careful Planning
Word is spreading around Senary that Prime is looking for candidates for a covert mission. Given the last covert mission ended with what is rumoured to be a mountain of gold, members of the Heart are eager to prove themselves.
