Okidoki, wasn't sure where to put my C.S but this is what I've got so far. Happy to change anything, I do have a picture to go with but I'm having difficulty getting it to post up.
I love flawed characters and moral dilemmas so totally open to all plot ideas.
Name/Alias: Dusk Age: 29 Faction (if any): No allegiance to one particular faction although she has a few specific 'business' contacts within a few factions. Gender: female
Appearance: Height: Smaller than average, maybe just shy of 5'5". Body shape: Clearly fit, hourglass figure with a little more proportion to her hips. Smaller chest. Hair: Thick and black like oil, cut to a short textured bob. Always swept to one side or the other. Clothing choices: Simple and functional- dark grey skinny jeans, usually her favourite red check long sleeve collared shirt and of course her cowboy boots. Distinguishing features: Heterochromia- Right eye jade green, left eye bronzed hazel. Bronze freckles scattered all over her face. Right underside forearm has a black and grey wash tattoo of a intricate compass rose and her left forearm the Latin words in flowing script "Non Totus Quisnam flos es lost"
Nationality: American/English Accent: soft Cajun accent Quotes: "Catch bees with a flower.... a bear with honey" "Awwww honey" "Better a favour owed then to owe" "Everybody has a price...." "The enemy of my enemy is also my friend"
Personality and attitude: Based on Myer-Briggs Personalty test
Attitude: - Approachable but sassy. - Come across her in the street you probably would walk right by but get to know her after a few drinks and she just might get you running contraband across the city for her. - Dusk doesn't promise anything she cannot deliver on. - She is honest but she might not give you the whole story. - Loyalty is... Well great when it works - Lovers come and go - Sometimes violence IS the only option but the not preferred method. - Everybody has a price...
Strengths: Knowledgeable – Will rarely pass up a good opportunity to learn something new. Quick Thinker – Has a tremendously flexible mind and is able to shift from idea to idea without effort. Excellent Brainstormer – Loves to analyze problems from every angle to find the best solutions. Combining their knowledge and originality to splay out every aspect of the subject at hand, rejecting without remorse options that don't work and presenting ever more possibilities. Charismatic - Has a way with words and wit that others find intriguing. She is confident and charming. Unhibited and Unashamedly a flirt, although not with everyone.
Weaknesses Argumentative –If there's anything she enjoys, it's the mental exercise of debating an idea, and nothing is sacred. More consensus-oriented personality types rarely appreciate the enthusiasm with which she will tear down their beliefs and methods, leading to a great deal of tension. Insensitive – Being so rational, ENTPs often misjudge others feelings and push their debates well past others' tolerance levels. People with this personality type don't really consider emotional points to be valid in such debates either. Intolerant – Unless people are able to back up their ideas in a round of mental sparring, she is likely to dismiss not just the ideas but the people themselves. Either a suggestion can stand up to rational scrutiny or it's not worth bothering with. Can Find It Difficult to Focus and F.O.M.O –Both Mental boredom and Fear Of Missing out comes too easily for Dusk.
Current Livelihood: Looking for something illegal? Rare? Maybe both? Dusk is your friend in the Black Market. She never deals in substandard goods because that wouldn't be good business and she relies on her reputation. She won't ask any questions either. But what's that item worth to you? That's right, she will hit you in the wallet with a sweet smile. In her defence it's the circumstances and the effort to get the items that makes the price so high. Her business is word of mouth, if you want to track her down you should know someone who knows a guy......
Equipment: - Two retractable batons attached to her belt. Vintage Ruger GP100 with 6" barrel (matt black finish) six- shot revolver (357. Magnum) and leather holster secured and worn right thigh. Likes to call it a 'Conversation Starter'. Yes it's a big revolver especially for someone her size but it is generally more for show/intimidation. Small beige canvas back pack containing deck of cards, lighter, water bottle, pocket flask, book sized notebook and pen.
Skills: - Slight of hand/pick pocket. - Good standard of lock picking skills - getting better with safe cracking though - Hard haggler/barter - Distilling liquor - Somewhat capable Aikido skills but no means black belt
Not so good skills: - Strength: Sure she's fit and can lift her body up onto a ledge but there is no way she could go toe to toe with a 70+kg man if he got a hold of her. - Leadership: Not a chance in hell should would step into a leadership role, quote "Let some other monkey run the circus" - Patience: She has places to go people to see. - Object repairs, she has people for these things.
Other: What is his/her fears? -Being confined/restrained. - Uneasiness when traveling underground or into underground room (eg. basements) Greatest fear? Being alone Dislikes: Leadership (being in charge) and incompetent leadership (someone else) - Traditions (everything changes eventually) - Expectations - Lateness Idiosyncrasies: - Always looks for the nearest exit or escape route whenever entering a building - stems from the building collapse she experienced earlier in her life. - Will always offer the first round of drinks, alcohol will generally loosen inhibitions and tongues - makes for great barter or information gathering. - Uncomfortable when having her back to a door/entrance
Backstory: - Born into working class to a Cajun father and English backpacker mother - Father worked as transporter, her mother picked up work doing odd domestic jobs - Her mother left when she was around 8 years of age, never to be heard from again - Spent most of her time with her father travelling around the city.This is where she learned to barter/broker and many other skills Most of her academic tuition came from various people she met through life as she did not have any consistent schooling
