(Almost) everything has a price tag
Plotting: Informants, clients, allies and enemies
In the criminal underworld, almost anything and everything can be bought, as long as one is able and willing to pay the price. And the most valuable thing out there on the market is information: knowledge is power, and there are plenty of folks who would gladly part with a tidy sum in exchange for a secret or two about their rivals. Over the years Mal has built up his network of informants and clients, and earned his fair share of allies and enemies at the same time. Who would gladly have his back, and who would be more than happy to stick a knife there if it paid well? Open to discussions!
”This one’s on the house.”
Plotting: Patrons of the Curious Chimaera
As its namesake suggests, the Curious Chimaera is a two establishments rolled into one: a hybrid joint that operates as a café during the day and transforms into a bar after sunset. Over the past few years, it has gained some loyal customers who regularly drop by for a drink and a snack. Mal is always willing to lend a listening ear to his customers, or offer his take on a prickly situation. Feel free to drop by at the Curious Chimaera if you’ve got some time.
Thick as thieves
Plotting: Friendships
Although Mal has been away from his family for most of his life, he isn’t lonely, thanks to his new ‘family’: his closest friends whom he met in school or after he started working. Mal may be a busy man, but he’ll always make time for his best mates. Both old and new friends are welcome!
The one thing money can’t buy
Shipping: Romantic relationship
Mal has dated a couple of gals and guys in the past, but unfortunately after a few amicable splits and getting dumped very unceremoniously once, he’s single and a little hesitant to mingle. Given how he tends to fall really hard in love, it’s inevitable that he gets hurt quite a bit. Still, he probably won’t be able to hold himself back when he meets someone who sets his heart aflutter. Open to discussions!
