Alright. I believe we've already talked about this on Steam, but just for the sake of putting it down here: how large is the island, again?
EDIT: There we go. Second character, ho!
Name: Penny Yates
Gender: Female
Age: 32
Appearance: The most strikingly noticeable thing about Penny is that she is very tall, standing at a towering 6 foot 4, which a slim, lean build and almost non-existent bust, with slender and long legs. Her straightened light ash-brown hair is cut off directly at her shoulder, with it parted in the middle of her forehead. She has an oval face, with a narrow nose and small lips, with firm hazel eyes, her skin blemished by the occasional freckles and uneven tan-line. She usually gives off a fairly calm, collected, and almost authoritative atmosphere, as she never slouches and has a cool gaze. While she is reasonably attractive, it is clear that she only takes care of her appearance for the sake of appearing professional, not out of any care for being pretty. As for clothing, she wears a loose blue blouse covered by a light brown jacket, with neat jeans and new white sneakers.
Strengths and Weaknesses, Quirks and Traits: Penny is the type of person who sees absolutely no contradiction in having a fun night out drinking with someone, only to literally stab them in the back the very next day, as long as it was deemed necessary. She is a genuinely affable and polite woman, with a very calm demeanour, but is in equal parts utterly ruthless, manipulative and prideful. Due to her line of work, she believes in doing what is pragmatic and necessary, and feels no need to be excessive – but if ‘what is necessary’ happens to be morally reprehensible, then she will do it without hesitation, with her disregard for human life in the pursuit of her goals varying between merely somewhat callous to outright sociopathic. However, while she may be highly intelligent, her excessive pride means that she often underestimates other people, and has a tendency to have bouts of internalized anger when her plans fail.
While not exactly physically strong, but often enjoyed track in high school, making her fond of going on jogs and runs, meaning her legs can take her pretty far and fairly swiftly. But her upper body strength leaves a lot to be desired, and has never swung any kind of melee weapon in her entire life. She does, however, know how to fire a gun, as was almost a requirement for her type of business.
A Brief History: Growing up in a stable middle class home in South Australia, with two loving parents, Penny dabbled in criminal activity for a large portion of her life. She started off with petty burglary and selling drugs in early secondary school, often doing so rather recklessly. She was only ever caught once, which landed her a couple years in a youth detention center – and quickly resumed her ‘work’ afterwards, only much more careful and cautious. She began to delve deeper into the criminal world, partaking in scams and drug operations, and became further entrenched in the Australian drug trade. When asked as to how and why she got into that particular business, she would say it was merely because she was good at it – if she felt she would have been a good doctor or lawyer, then she wouldn’t tried to become one. It was as simple as that. As far as relationships went, she quickly found that romance just wasn’t for her – her lifestyle often meant she had a complete inability to relate with anyone. Although she maintained several very good friendships from people within her business, anything further than that just interfered with everything.
On a business trip, she had to travel to several states in America with some of her work acquaintances, New York being her final stop. After she finished most of her work, she decided to just go sightseeing for a while, and stopped off at Divinations and Tribulations while onto the Empire State Building – just for fun.
