Tesher Bendros
Smuggler 


Age twenty-seven, Tesher Bendros is a smuggler and occasional
purveyor of black market goods. He lives on board the Old Betsy,
a goods transport that saw its best days before he was even born,
held together with duct tape and hope, with more shadowy niches and
loose panels than a customs team could search in a week. He's
generally laid back, and he has a knack for seeming just like a
regular guy. Who would ever expect that in his secret past, he is
nothing of the sort?

Aspects/Boons:

A PLENITUDE OF POCKETS
Tesher tends to wear clothes with extra pockets (not always visible
ones, of course), which often happen to contain just the right prop 
he needs to complete a given outfit. (+2 Deceit with disguise)

MASTER OF DISGUISE 
"The character can convincingly pass himself off as nearly anyone 
with a little time and preparation. To use this ability, the player 
pays a fate point and temporarily stops playing. His character is 
presumed to have donned a disguise and gone "off camera". At any 
subsequent point during play the player may choose any nameless, 
filler character (a villain's minion, a bellboy in the hotel, the 
cop who just pulled you over) in a scene and reveal that that 
character is actually the PC in disguise!"

IT TAKES ONE TO KNOW ONE
Once you know the tricks and techniques used to pull off a good 
fake, you can easily recognize when someone else is using them.
(Can use Deceit instead of Empathy to recognize if someone is 
masquerading as someone or something they're not.)

OLD BETSY
Old Betsy is an old goods transport that Tesher bought fourth-hand. 
It's big enough for three people to travel in comfortably, or twice 
that many uncomfortably. Even before he adapted it, it was riddled 
with crawlspaces, cubby holes and ill-fitting bulkheads. With his 
modifications, a full 30% of its cargo space is now undetectable by 
a casual observer. 
(+2 to hiding people or things when in the ship.)

WALKING THE LEGAL TIGHTROPE
Tesher lives in the grey areas of Imperial law, and more than once 
his success has relied on a deep personal familiarity with the 
complex and often self-contradictory code of inter-stellar 
regulations. 
(+2 Bureaucracy when dealing with minor functionaries -- cops, 
customs officials, clerks, etc.)
