High Concept: Graffiti Artist With Supernatural Detection Senses
Trouble: Always Broke
[Minor Talent Template]
Background (Rough Life)
Orphaned young, Nick grew up with foster families and Boy's Homes all his life. Nick joined the DC Area's Anarchist Movement during his teens because of some of the other street artist where members. While this allowed him to hone his craft as a graffiti artist, it also got in on the wrong side of the Law many times, giving Nick is total lack of respect for authority.
Rising Conflict (Old City Boy, New City View)
Nick has always been able to detect supernatural things and people. They created this annoying static noise in his head, which no pne else could hear. But this strange buzzing became useful when Nick started working as a thief, also known as a "Monkey Man". He's jobs were normally getting things out of clubs and homes but once in the blue moon the Anarchist might ask to move a person around the city without the cops finding them. It was during on of these missions Nick came face to face with his first Supernatural creature, an Orge who wanted Nick's escort. Only through crazy luck and an well timed exploding paint can was Nick and his escort able to get away. Now, Nick knows about the Supernatural and the static he hears around them. This gift has proven useful many times over.
Story: Fool's Gold (Half Now, Half Later)
Hired by an art dealer to steal a gold statue from the Sally Richmond, Nick learns that the place has something supernatural about it ("Maybe the bouncer?") After spray painting a massive penis on the side of the building Nick waited until Don left to investigate. Once the bouncer was gone, getting in and out was easy. However, the dealer said it was a fake and didn't pay Nick for it. Few days later, Don corners Nick in an alleyway and threatens him if Nick doesn't return the statue. Nick does but when stories continue about art being stolen in the DC area, Nick and Don hunt down the dealer, a White Court Vampire, and end his plans of selling stolen artwork on the black market.
Story 2: Crimson is the New Black (Will Work for Paint)
With Nick's Supernatural Talent now known to some, Nick is asked by Alice to help track down a Black Court Vampire to avenge her adopted brother's death. Using his powers, they discovers that the vampire is living among a senior's centre. Using Alice's powers of spellcasting, and Nick's talent as an artist, the two create a circle to trap the black court vampire and trap him until daylight killed him.

I thought that Alice could use Nick to paint circles and runes on the ground then activate them. Seemed like a nice idea.
