[BNW] Translator Character Idea

[Chris DeKalb <theseus@linnaean.org>]

I was thinking about the Translator in modern times, especially how even in the BNW
world the countries are remarkably inter-connected.  Especially commercially.

In that way a Translator would be incredibly valuable to a corporation.  And very
well paid.  Triumph Ind. probably has at least a dozen.  In some respects they
would be better paid then even Hacker deltas in a corporation.

What this means to a Character is plenty of nice little perks from his employee.
Need lots of Vacation time?  Sure...  Lots and lots of money?  Not a problem...
Being blackmailed or threatened?  Well, we can take care of that..you just worry
about our French account there.
Basically you have your Rich, Contact and possibly Authority Quirks right there.
Of course you'd also have the Duty quirk as well..

If they were employed by the Gov.  (NSA, CIA) you'd have Authority, Contacts and
possibly the Rich one as well.

Admittedly, designing your character for riches isn't the most glamorous thing in
the world, but it can be fun.  Anyone ever play the Dilettante character in Call of
Cthulhu?

Just some random thoughts,
