[NPC] Nevada

[OctoberRaven]

This is a character based on the real-life killer Nevada-tan. She's built as a Skilled Normal.

 

Background: In 2004, an eleven-year-old Japanese schoolgirl murdered a classmate. Her name was never released to the public, known as "Suspect A" officially and "Nevada-tan" elsewhere. She is, officially, still in prison.

 

Unofficially, though, she escaped in June 2007 with another delinquent, and, after stealing some money, she went to the yakuza to pay for passports. When she learned they only had enough money for one passport and one plane ticket, she murdered her accomplice and quietly fled to the United States as Sakura Hazumi, going to Hudson City to meet her grandmother.

 

It wasn't long until she realized that she didn't have enough money to last, nor any way to gain employment legally. She instead did what she did to get to the Pearl City in the first place: Murder and looting. Her killing to survive would become a psychological addiction.

 

Her fingerprints are not on file and she has no criminal background, thanks to her false identity.

 

Quote: <"I'm sorry, -san, but I'm going to have to kill you now.">

 

Appearance: A young, cute Japanese girl, age 14, who wears a hooded sweatshirt with the word "NEVADA" printed on it. Her pockets are usually in her hands, and one of those hands is usually holding her boxcutter.

 

Campaign Use: Nevada is not intended for solo combat. She can take a punch, and her throat-cutting maneuver can seriously hurt anyone not properly protected, but unless she gets lucky, she shouldn't be a challenge for a PC. If you want to make her more powerful, increase the DCs of her HKAs, and give her better SPD and movement. If for some reason she's too powerful, get rid of her throat-cutting move altogether.

 

She is best for a 'murder mystery' arc, or possibly as a pawn of a more powerful villain.

Re: [NPC] Nevada

 

Interesting -- if it wasn't true, it would sound like the opening to one of those "Children of Death" anime shows that has been so sickeningly popular of late. Properly done, it could leave vigilante types with a truly tough moral dilema -- resubmit an obviously disturbed individual back into an institutional system that has failed to rehabilitate her, or execute a child to stop the bloodshed? If she learns how to handle a gun, there may not be a choice at all, though it would make an interesting "urban jungle hunt" scenario. Of course, if one of the victims manages to scrawl "Nevada" on something before dying, there's an interesting murder investigation hook -- include details for someone who remembers the internet buzz on the original murder in Japan and things get sticky...

I really do not know how I feel about basing any character on such a horrible frame work, but I understand it.

 

Good luck
