Strings

Name: Natasha Scrugg
Closest Archetype: Fixer

The Skinny: Strings doesn’t believe that she is a fixer. She defines herself as a madam, despite the fact that eighty percent of her revenue comes from people looking for information rather than cheap sex.

Natasha is the daughter of a mid-Manhattan madam, and a married corp executive. She was raised by her mother and took to the business quite early on in life. However, her tastes weren’t towards the whoring aspect of the job. She preferred to handle the business part of it by matching the customers to girls that she felt would be right for them. Natasha gained a considerable reputation for choosing “the right girl for the job.”

After a time, NYPD Inc. decided to shut her mother’s operation down. It was Natasha who thwarted their effort by calling upon her customers to apply their corporate power to stop the effort to shut her mom’s business down. She picked up the name Strings from her mother’s employees who were so happy that she was able to pull strings to keep their business alive.

Time marched on and soon many of the customers began replacing trips to the local madam with trips to the BTL dealer where they could get the full emotional experience without the hassle of having to deal with prostitutes. Natasha’s mother retired and Natasha moved away to start her own ‘escort service’.

Soon enough she had established a thriving business of her own and had accrued a stable of young girls. Soon enough, the local police came knocking to shut her down. Strings called upon her customers once more to keep her in business and back the cops off. It worked as it had before, only better. Realizing the type of people she had at her disposal, her customers started asking her to network them with other customers. They asked her to become a fixer. She did so, begrudgingly and remains in the business today. Her escort service has continued to make a great deal of money, but these days when people come knocking on her door, it isn’t always for sex.

Desc: Natasha is a dark haired woman with features that look very Asian. She does not however match the shorter body type of most Asians. She stands over six feet three inches tall. She is very slender and has cosmetically modified breasts. Natasha always wears dresses. It is doubtful that she owns a pair of pants.
