Name: Adja Voltaire
Gender: Female
Race/Type/Job? Human/Treasure Hunter
Affiliation: Has no qualms about who her clients are. As long as they pay her good money
Age: 26
Relationship Status: Single
Personality: Adja is the type of person who more often than not likes to work alone. She prefers it this way because then she only as to watch her back and no one elses. Although she does have a few friends (One or two) that she will waste time with. Others she uses for information on finding certain artifacts.
She prone to outbursts of voilence and anger especially when she feels that you should definitly be picking on someone your own size. But most of these 'outbursts' are more close to the fact that she has Bi-Polar Disorder or so says her last Shrink. And she told him to go screw himself and hasn't been to see one since. She just keeps taking her pills.
Perhaps Adja's greatest strength is her ability to see poeple for who and what they truly are. Those who have met Adja personally say she has an 'otherworld' quality about her but she'll laugh and claim its just good study of body language although she has no real idea of were the 'talent' comes from. One of her weaknesses is that she simply can't resist a good story behind and item or artifact especially if that story is based in Norse or Greek Mythology. It has landed her in trouble more times than enough, particulary with the law.
But generally Adja is a good person and will always strive to stick up for or to protect those weaker than herself. But as she says "You can't shovel someone's shit unless they're willing to pick up a shovel and help".

Biography
History: I had a happy childhood at least that's the way my brain likes to remember it and I am quite happy to. They say my 'real' parents died in a house fire when I was just 18 months old. I remember crap about that day and I think that most poeple expect me to. But even an hypnotist can't regress me back to that day. But apparently my 'real' parents clung to a weird lifestyle. Hey whatever works for them. But my adoptive parental units were pretty good to me. They kept the name that my real parents gave to me and believe me, I'm not complaining. Kind of like the name myself. It's unique. Unique in the fact that I haven't met anyone else with the same name. or even heard of them. But my adoptive parental untis surname isn't Voltaire. Oh no that surname belong to my real parents. I started using the name a few years back.
School wasn't really a problem for me. I got good grades and was top of my class. But I had the tendancy to get bored very quickly if I wasn't intrested in the subject the Teacher was talking about. It wasn't that I had the short attention span it was the fact that if the teacher was bored talking about the subject then I got bored to. But I loved History and went onto study Archeaology and world mytholgy at college. I passed with flying colours. Which didn't really surprise me since you know, I was very intrested in both subjects. I believe that you should always study something that you are intrested in. Otherwise its most likely three or four years of hell for nothing. And you'll have wasted all that money. And I hate wasting money.
The subjects that I was intrested in at school and college was probably the reason I fell into the Treasure Hunting business. It began as a sideline to fund Archeaological digs but then it became something of a full time thing without me actually fully realising it until now. But I enjoy it even though it has gotten me into trouble with the law more times than enough. but I fully intend that while I'm here in this city to stay on the right side of the law. Only I hope my reputation for trouble hasn't reached this far along the law lines yet. I'll keep my fingers crossed.....
But this client I'm currently working for could land me in some particular hot water. At least He's paying me good money. But I haven't found any proof that they exist. Not on age old parchments or stone tablets. But I wouldn't be all that surprised since The two items in question date back to the times when Dana's people (The Tuatha De Dannan) inhabited Old Ireland before Humans and other creatures came.
He'd pulled me in with a hell of a good story. I'm a total sucker for a good story but the funny thing is, the story didn't check out. And I don't really like it when a story doesn't check out. It makes things smell kind of fishy. That's when trouble usually comes a calling. He'd already paid me ten grand for sitting on my ass and just finding information on the items. Which Hey, is bloody well great. I'll ask for danger money if I think my pretty behind is gonna be in trouble.
When I typed the name of the cauldron into to the old laptop, I found that it had links with The Holy Grail and Pele's chalice. Which peaked my intrest but then I began wondering why in the hell hadn't he told me this? I despise it when a client keeps things from me. That's when the law usually comes a knocking and I spend more than a good few hours in their 'interview' room. More like bloody torture room. Lugh's Spear might be easier to find. I hope.
I had called him after that and told him that I may or may not have leads on the items he requested and that I would call him when I have anything further to tell him or anything that's useful. I hung up after that. I tend to keep client phonecalls short and sweet. No tracing. Most items are usually found on the black market and the police and other law agencies don't particulary like it when you aquire items through these means. But whatever gets me paid, right?
I just hope the bloody client would have sense and not contact me until I contacted him. Most clients do have that sense. Although I've had one or two that are on the stupid side.
That's the real reason I'm here. In this City. I believe someone here has either one or both the items I'm searching for. First I'll do the nice thing and appraoch to buy but if all fails on the front then it would be time to play Cat Burgarlar. So I've many reasons to avoid the law. Since I don't know I've wanted or not. So keep it under your hat that I'm here, alive and well. I'd appreciate it
