Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to you in support of my application for the position of teacher of Informatics. My credentials include a PhD in Computer Science and 2 post-doctorate fellowships, elaborated at an Ivy League university in the U.S. I see this prospective appointment as a remarkable opportunity to return back to my motherland, old Europe. I addition, I wish to volunteer for the position of system administrator of the school's computer laboratory as, in case of my hiring, I will be extensively using this laboratory for the practical teaching of the Informatics course and, thus, I wish to have a personal supervision of its condition.

Furthermore, I wish to take this opportunity to express my suitability in assisting in any investigative inquiries that the Sandon Boarding College might be in request of. My professional experience allows me to contribute in such inquiries in the two following ways. First, I am skilled as a person tracker, meaning that I master the ability of collecting information on the whereabouts of missing persons and carrying out surveillance operations. Second, I my scientific specialization falls in the field of security and cryptography. This latter skill makes makes me competent in the surveillance of electronic correspondence and most other forms of electronic communication.

Upon your request, please expect to receive - accompanying with this application - a reference letter from my last employer evaluating my performance as an employee.

I hope that we will fruitfully collaborate in the near future, given that this opportunity becomes available.

Sincerely,
Ubik Rayna, PhD

Potential exit point for the character of Ubik Rayna

A student from his past college wins the lottery and, free from any societal concern, sues Rayna for blackmail and sexual harassment. It turns out that Rayna was blackmailing students at his past school, delivering them as candy to a secret society that he belongs to.

Federico Perenti

Federico Perenti is the principal of the school.

Federico, 42 at the time of the story, is a soft spoken, quiet character with an icy gaze, prone to explosions of crude violence. Under his shell, he's anxiously trying to find his place in the complex world of the Satin Circle. He arrives at the school under an unwelcome assigment that will keep him away from the only person he treasure, his second wife, and he's going to make everyone pay for that. Especially those not responsible for this situation.

The path that took Federico to Sandon is long and windy. He has survived a tragedy in his family, many different jobs, and a first marriage ended in the burning of his home. He studied math and worked as a teacher in several institutions, where he prowled on all the women he could reach. Only the Satin Circle was able to keep him away from trouble, exploiting his peculiar skills in the process.

He's a man of all trades, learned in math and engineering, able to organize, to use several weapons and apply a few fighting styles; good at many things but excellent in none.

Federico is currently : in Second Life.
