+A Telecaster is basically anybody that has and knows how to use a cell phone, while its advanced abilities get somewhat more cutting-edge in the field of communications tech. This makes it an extremely common archetype in contemporary settings and a wildly rare and powerful one in more low-tech campaigns. Call your boss while on the job to clarify how you'd like it done, or take a selfie with the dead dragon and send it to the King so he can get the bounty ready!
