Shamus Nickoli

Name of Writer:  Jana

Target Realm:  CP

Role: Drug Dealer / Black Market/
Freelancer/Fixer

Age: 38

Thorough Physical Description:

5' 10" tall, around 150 lbs.
Long blonde hair, mustache and beard
Black eyes

Shamus wears mostly black leather to 
appear more  intimidating.   His eyes, while 
serious, belay a sense of humor 
buried to all but the few friends he has.


Personality:   
   Won�t even warn you when he�s irritated, 
Shamus will just pull out a weapon and shoot.  
Oddly enough it�s never the person who 
irritated him that gets shot.
   
   He doesn�t play the middle ground.  If 
you�re his friend, Shamus will stand by you 
no matter what; if you�re not, if you threaten 
someone he cares about or harm a helpless one�
he�ll take you down without even thinking about 
it or even lose sleep over it.

   There is something decidedly unsettling with 
someone who can make themselves �invisible�, and 
Shamus is most definitely unsettling in his 
ability to just that.  He can be sitting in 
plain view and not be seen until he WANTS to 
be seen.  Some people claim there�s an 
unearthly, near supernatural, calm about him 
one moment and the next it�s akin to every 
volcano that had blown its cork all rolled 
into one truly frightening fire.  But just 
as quickly it�s gone, and the man is back to 
that eerie calm.  This alone has earned him 
the reputation of being somewhat psychotic 
and dangerous to fuck with.

   When he suddenly grows VERY quiet then 
gives a chilling smile you KNOW someone has 
just died a slow, very painful and oddly 
subtle death.  Poison?  Shamus?  Oh surely
 noooot.  grin

Shamus will get anything for anyone, except 
when it comes to the gangs pushing drugs on 
young children.  He tends to make sure that
they get an extra bonus in the bags they use 
to sample from, usually lethal or at the 
very least PAINFUL.

   Intimately familiar with the most dangerous
areas of the entire KC Metro area.   If he 
doesn�t have it in his private arms vault�
don�t worry he knows where to find it.  That 
also includes information.

Personal Motto:  �There�s nothing that can�t
be solved with a suitable application of 
dynamite.�

Strengths:

Unshakeable.  Any situation he just accepts 
and deals with it.  
Deadly accurate with his weaponry

May deal in drugs but WON�T take them.  Has 
seen what it does to the body, but if others 
want the drugs hell yeah he�ll sell it to them.

Won�t take no, or it can�t be done, for an answer.


Weaknesses:

Soft spot for small children and medical personnel.
Oh and oddly enough there are a few cops he rather 
likes as well, and would go through hell to 
protect them.

BAD TEMPER (should have a nuclear fallout 
sign glowing over his head)

Won�t take no, or it can�t be done, for an 
answer.

Smokes

Heavy drinker (strangely enough no one has 
ever seen him drunk! Then again he's psychotic,
so it's hard to tell.)


Background History:

Shamus grew up in a rough and tumble neighborhood 
in No Mans Land.  His father died when he was 
very young, and his mother raised him 
alone.

Shamus started his career running drugs for a 
local kingpin.  Very
soon he learned the whole organization and set 
out on his own at 18.

Since then he has been a one man operation with 
a reputation for
obtaining anything needed.  Unless it involves 
children, then he�ll just kill you and get it
 over with.
