When Saniyah arrived at the Miami office and introduced herself, she was still pretty optimistic. Then, when the SAC led her to introduce her to her new partner, she saw the looks of pity and heard the snickers and her heart sank. No one here knew her, so they must have thought of her partner. And then she was introduced to a middle-aged man with a slightly rumpled suit, who barely spoke two words to her, and was left at the other desk in the out-of-the-way office.
Izayah is a bit of an outcast. Strictly speaking a veteran agent, he played the political game until one day he reached a limit to what he was willing to overlook. When the dust cleared, a few people were dead, another agent had lost her job, and Izayah had made a lot of enemies. But he also knew about quite a few buried bodies and wasn’t dumb about what to do with those secrets. So he wasn’t fired, but transferred away and buried in meaningless tasks. Officially, he has a pretty high rank, but he is also fully aware that this will only be the case as long as he doesn’t rock the boat. And since the local agents do not know how good he is, or maybe was, they have been a bit careless around him - he already knows that corruption runs deep in the Miami office. But he knows that he will only be left in peace as long as he keeps his head down. Still, there are some things he overheard that just do not sit right with him, and now someone has sent some rookie here for god-knows-what reason. Officially it is to help him scout for a larger new investigation. There is a brand new synthetic street drug that makes meth look like gumballs, with a suspected source in organized crime. The boss wants to assemble a task force and has ordered Izayah to take the rook to the streets and get some more information so Miami can ask Quantico for more resources. But Izayah has his doubts that this is all there is to it - it feels like someone pulling strings for other reasons. It feels like he is being set up. Something is about to happen.
This will be the second hero for Outgunned. His Role will be The Agent, giving him a point in the Nerves attribute. This also gives him a point each in Endure, Fight, Stunt, Cool, Drive, Shoot, Leadership, Detect, Heal, and Awareness. He will get the Feats Get Down! (allowing him to get himself and another hero into cover immediately for 1 Adrenaline) and Lie To Me (making him a lot better at reading people and spotting lies). For equipment, he starts with a pistol, handcuffs, a badge, and a telephone. To be honest, as a GM, I would just give all of those to his partner as well. His Trope will be Party Killer - he is very curmudgeonly and not fun to hang out with. Saniyah has her work cut out. In any case, that means that he adds a point to either Nerves or Crimes (obviously Crimes for him) and to the skills Force, Stunt, Cool, Shoot, Leadership, Awareness, Stealth, and Streetwise. His Feat here will be Head on a Swivel; it seems most fitting to him. It means that he is quite a bit better when preempting dangers or ambushes, or when trying to locate lurking enemies. His two final skill points go into Survival and Detect.
He also gets the 1 Cash, 1 Adrenaline, and 1 Spotlight. His catchphrase will be ‘I really should have stayed out of it,’ and his flaw is that he cannot ignore corrupt lawmen.
