Unknown Armies: Mack "the Knife" Heathrow - Avatar of The Highwayman

No one knows where exactly Mack came from. Some say he was a famous mob boss who got bored of being in charge, faked his own death, and then used magick to change every aspect of his appearance. Maybe he's a disgraced godwalker, who hid rather than try to reclaim his symbolic throne after getting kicked out of the statosphere. His strange accent and outdated slang might also point to potential time travel. The only thing anyone knows for sure is that he drove into town one day on a Harley, robbed a bank, and then invited everyone for a round of drinks at the bar two blocks down.

Unknown Armies: The Highwayman (new archetype)

Attributes: The Highwayman lives on the margins of society. If there’s something they want, they take it. Sometimes they correct social injustice by appropriating wealth from people who hoard it through dishonorable means. Other times they’re social parasites that prey on people who have nothing. Sometimes they’re social parasites who inexplicably acquire reputations as Robin Hood-style characters.

Like the Two Faced Man, the name Highwayman is a holdover and not restricted to one sex. Some female avatars call themselves “Outlaws” instead.

The path of a Highwayman typically ends before they reach a high Avatar score. They either get caught, get killed, or retire and taboo into normalcy.
