TRIXI DA VINCI

Race and Faction

Background

Trixi Da Vinci arrived on VOI 700 D and briefly sought farmland in the Hope Region, but when her application was denied, she pivoted to service work. In 2628, under Guy Mikkelstein’s patronage, she began bartending at Saloon Gloria during its rowdy Beta Age heyday, quickly earning his trust as his right hand.

After the Great War and the rise of Communardism, Supreme Councilor Aisha Patel’s administration moved to close Saloon Gloria alongside the rest of the Entertainment District to enforce the resource-management rules of the Peace Treaty. Former Mayor James Mc Antie successfully lobbied for a special exemption for three venues — Saloon Gloria, Firetown Billiards Saloon (Fire Bill), and the Firetown Darts Club — citing the unique hardships of Firetown’s residents under perpetual darkness and harsh conditions. Trixi was then appointed Federal Host, while Guy fled to co-found the Jane Mendoza Gang.

Though her public persona remains dutiful, Trixi secretly maintains her affair with Guy, and she uses her new role to facilitate the Gang’s drug distribution and recruitment through coded drink orders. Doorwoman Iona Lynge stands ever at her side, offering physical support when conflicts arise.

Roles by Age

Beta Age

  • Barkeeper & Confidante (2628–2631): Mastered the bar, managed staff, and served as Guy Mikkelstein’s primary advisor.

Gamma Age

  • Federal Hostess (2631–present): Issues allotment cards, enforces single-drink limits, and processes official bookings.
  • Jane Mendoza Gang Operative: Covertly coordinates drug drops and recruitment “invitations” through coded drink orders.

Personality

  • Traits: Cynical, fiercely loyal to allies, skeptical of authority
  • Behavior: Quick-witted with a sharp, sarcastic style; reads patrons instinctively and manipulates social currents to her advantage.
  • Values: Loyalty and competence above all; values straightforward deals and protects those within her circle — even if it means undermining official policy.

Physical Attributes

  • Height: 1.70 m
  • Weight: 62 kg
  • Appearance: Sleek dark hair in a bob; keen green eyes

Combat Statistics

  • Armor Class (AC): 12 (stud vest)
  • Hit Points (HP): 30

Actions

  • Sniper’s Shot (Ranged): From concealed Windstrike Rifle under the bar, +6 to hit, 1d8+3 piercing damage (range 60/180 ft).
  • Barbed Remark (Social): Wounded target must succeed on a DC 13 Wisdom save or suffer disadvantage on next attack (words delivered with a cutting wit).

Special Abilities

  • Official Authority: Once per day, Trixi can call in a Host summons — anyone defying her within the saloon must pass a DC 14 Charisma save or get in troubles with Iona Lynge.
  • Gang Liaison: Trixi knows the Jane Mendoza Gang’s network and can discreetly deliver messages or small packages (up to 100 g) anywhere within Firetown.
  • Cunning Observation: Gains advantage on Insight and Deception checks when interacting with newcomers or hiding her true intent.

Motivations and Goals

Beta Age

  • Build an Empire: As Guy’s right hand, Trixi aimed to turn Saloon Gloria into the premier pleasure palace of Firetown — and secure her own standing in its shadows.

Gamma Age

  • Maintain Influence: Preserve her position as Federal Hostess to control the flow of patrons—and Cartel assets—through Saloon Gloria.
  • Protect Guy’s Legacy: Continue facilitating Guy Mikkelstein’s operations, ensuring the Jane Mendoza Gang thrives despite official oversight.
  • Balance Two Worlds: Walk the line between lawful duty and underworld loyalty without revealing her true allegiances.

Tactical Advice for Dungeon Masters

Trixi Da Vinci can serve as:

  • Double-Agent NPC: Provides lawful support to PCs but secretly funnels information or supplies to the Jane Mendoza Gang.
  • Social Pivot: A source of insider rumors, covert invitations to illicit activities, or bureaucratic obstacles when PCs lack proper paperwork.
  • Moral Gray Figure: Challenges PCs to question their own loyalties—will they expose her treachery or embrace her pragmatic brand of survival?
