Ok, let me clear a fwe things up on what happened in Year 2054...

Early January, a little-known but wise assed decker spots DOOM, aka the
Whistler, on a trid with a model by the name of Farenheit. In the small time
banter area of Shadownet, the decker, known as CREEPER, says, "What's such a
gorgeous babe doing with a little weenie like that?" A week later, Creeper
was dead, blown to bits in a explosion at his favorite neighborhood haunt in
some sort of explosion. Doom makes sure to tell the shadow community that
Creeper paid for messing with him.

In April, Whistler, then known by an alias since deceased, was framed for the
murder of his then fiance, a model by the name of farenheit. Whirling &
dealing, the pre-Whistler was given a leeway of six months to figure out who
killed his fiance. Such is the benefits for being a valuable wage mage in
the ranks of Fuchi.

Six months past (Summer played a big part) and the murder was never proven
false. The law came down hard... The modeling agency wanted revenge for
what they deemed to be a miscarriage of justice, as well as some other
sources contributing to the reward fund, mainly NOW and NOEW (National
Orginization of Elven Womyn). THe pre-Whistler was reported dead, horribly
mangled or burnt or something. Anyway, the DNA matched. End of story... or
was it?

One year later, the Whistler resurfaces, born again amongst the shadows. He
rejoins his old group, now consisting of the latest incarnation of Apache,
aka Mad Cat aka Daishi. Spellslinger has returned from mainly mundane
studies and Paladin's replacement, Reaver, is here. Spellslinger is the only
one who has kept a constant face in the shadows.

Now his past has returned to haunt him. Creeper's lover, CIRCE, has
returned, bent on revenge. She has her allies in the Shadowrealm and is as
experienced (if not more so) than the Whistler. She's been plotting his
demise for the past 2 years, and now comes the time to pay up.....

Hope that clears some things up....
