[DL] Need a mysterious past

[Allan Seyberth <darious@darious.com>]

Hey there,
     I need a mysterious past for one of my players - a Nor' Lins riverboat
gambler/huckster - who has been backlash boy since the game started.  I've
been ignoring his MP since the game started, but want to figure it out now.  

     I use a tarot deck for mysterious past pulls, and for this character
he came up 3 Coins - reversed (he drew the black joker, so the pull is
always reversed).  Get this - the definition for the deck on 3
Coins-Reversed is:  Lack of Skill, Unsafe Business, Sloppiness, Mediocrity,
Money Problems.

What a pull for a gambling huckster.  Especially a backlash boy.  It's
almost a self-fullfilling prophesy.  (There may be something to this tarot
thing after all.  :-)

  My problem is that the easiest route - that his training/blood/ability is
flawed somehow and all of his hexslinging is penalized is just too harsh
and I don't want to hammer down his primary ability - it's not like he took
Veteran of the Weird West - this was a random draw.
