Description:
Mick is a well-groomed, handsome forty-something baseline human who often gets mistaken for a Gemini alternate due to his good looks and overall health. He wears high-quality comfortable travelling clothes with lots of pockets for recording equipment, and whatever gear he might need for a job. He doesn't usually wear a skinsuit, but keeps his survival bubble packed away so he doesn't look like a tourist. Mick doesn't usually carry a weapon unless he's pretty sure he'll need one.
BACKGROUND
Former diplomat/undercover OFFICE operative, now working as a free-lance correspondent for "The Galaxy's Most Dangerous Places." Baden's current assignment is to find the individual known on the 'Tangled Web as "the Jack of All Tirades" and discover his true identity. So far, he has established that the Jack is definitely in the Groombridge 34 system, probably somewhere in the off-grid warrens of Mandalla Free Station. The problem is, there are literally thousands of kilometers of tunnels which aren't officially part of the station. However, Baden has made some progress with the Jack's contacts at The Blind Spot, one of the Free Station's numerous off-grid bars. Travelling and working with them hasn't really gotten him any closer to the Jack, but it has provided excellent stories and material for his cover as a journalist, along with some hefty bonus checks. Sometimes it's so profitable *not* finding the Jack that Baden wonders if maybe his target really knows who he is, and just wants to buy him off....
PERSONALITY
Baden's cover personality, which he almost never breaks, is that of a kindly "fellow traveler." He's friendly to everyone without being insufferable, and manages to be extroverted without seeming pushy. He almost always has an entertaining story to tell, about someplace he's been on a previous assignment, and they're usually quite enjoyable to listen to. It's all a cover, of course. The 'real' Mick Baden is an agent for the OFFICE, and he's a determined, loyal, highly trained operative. He'll stay under cover for years, if necessary, to find who the OFFICE is looking for, and bring them in.
QUOTE
So there I was at 'port security, and this Ursa trooper says he's going to perform a cavity search! "Did you check my flight plan, first?" I says...and he wants to know why. "I was in the Cininnatus habitat two weeks ago, the ecosystems are all failing, terrible dysentary outbreak, and worse...well, he couldn't get rid of me fast enough! Technically, he should have had me quarantined, but then they'd have quarantined *him*, too, probably for a couple of weeks, and he just couldn't be bothered. If I really had been sick, his whole colony would have been exposed--it was a disgrace. Can't say I miss the Core Habitats, really."
POWERS/TACTICS
Baden's social skills are his greatest asset. He's highly adept at dealing with all kinds of people in nearly any situation, from a starport dive to an executive boardroom. His job gets him into all sorts of trouble, but he knows how to talk his way out of nearly anything. Of course, when diplomacy and guile occasionally fail, he can handle himself fairly well in armed or unarmed combat. Baden keeps a small rocket pistol handy for emergencies, and he knows a thing or two about fighting in a spin-G environment. He's not so adept in zero-G, however.
CAMPAIGN_USE
Mick Baden is useful as the classic 'face man' for any group. If they need to talk their way into someplace, he's the guy to do it. And if they need a journalist, he can help them with that, too. As a former UN diplomat, he's very well-connected, and knows people from almost everywhere. As an adversary, he could be quite formidable, because underneath his affable cover identity, he is still connected wth the OFFICE, and can call on considerable resources as a result.
