Background/History: Janet (a.k.a. "Greenback Jane") is an Indian counterfeiter hired by American gangsters out of Florida to make copies of the American 100 dollar bill. As she is very precise in making copies, and pays attention to even the most minor details, she also takes far longer to create the masters than the gangsters would like. After they shoot one of her partners, Jane escapes and ends up hiding in the Church of Violence. They almost kick her out, but not before getting into a gunfight with the gangsters chasing her. After the gangsters leave, Eda sends Jane to a hotel in town, telling her she'll be safe there. Eda then leaks this information to the Roanapura underworld. But not to worry, the plan Eda's cooked up has worked four times out of seven....

Janet Bhai appears in Episodes 16-18 (Greenback Jane, The Roanapur Freakshow Circus, and Mr. Benny's Good Fortune). In Episode 19, Fujiyama Gangsta Paradise, she's started an internet romance with Benny.

Personality/Motivation: Jane is a perfectionist (or so it seems) as she won't allow the gangsters to use her counterfeit money plates until they are virtually perfect. Not to mention her demands for the exact paper, printer type, inks, and so on needed to make her fake bills. She won't back down from threats (well, not without protest), and wants to do things her way. Of course, she's not an idiot, and knows when to compromise—she just won't be happy about it.

Quote: "What? What's going on?"

Powers/Tactics: Aside from her smarts and knowledge of counterfeiting, Jane doesn't have much in the way of combat skills. She's a hacker of sorts, knows just about everything needed to print US currency, and can run from danger with the best of them.

Appearance: Janet Bhai is a pretty Indian woman with tanned skin and blond hair. She wears glasses, has a nice figure, and tends to dress in blouses and skirts.

Designer's Notes: Janet is a fairly normal human with some specific skills. I used The Ultimate Skill to get some idea for what she should know about forging bank notes. Her 1d6 of Luck is what lets her escape the thugs in Roanapura (you might want to make it 2d6), while her 1d6 of Unluck usually results in her tripping, falling down, and giving everyone a nice look at her legs and underwear.
