Freedom City, USA

Why do you live there?

I was forced to relocate here after the disappearance of my partner.

What do you perceive as your greatest strength?

That would be my... strength.

Physical Traits

Eighteen! That's right! Legal woooooooo

What is your sex?

Female

What is your race?

Meat Popsicle.

How tall are you?

5'2" last I checked.

How much do you weigh?

Why? Are you calling me fat? Because I'll defenestrate so fast your head will spin.

What is your general body type, frame, bone structure, and poise?

I... what?

What is your skin colour?

White.

What is your hair colour?

Brown, are you blind?

What is your hair style?

I don't really have a style, it's a #&%$ to cut though, so it's usually pretty long. Which is cool since bulletproof hair sort of works like a helmet.

Do you have any facial hair?

...

What is your eye colour?

Brown.

How attractive are you?

*shrug* Super sexy!

What is your most distinguishing feature?

My hair I guess? But mostly because it usually looks like I need to comb or cut it.

Do you have any scars, tattoos, or birthmarks?

No, scars tend to heal over, tats are kinda hard to get when the needles can't penetrate the skin. And if I have a birthmark it's nowhere I(or you) can see.

What is your handedness (left/right/ambidextrous)?

At first I was just right-handed, but Justice(my crime fighitng partner) helped turn me into an amb-ambli-... a two handed fighting machine!

Do you resemble some currently known person?

Besides myself? No.

*shrug* Jeans, T-shirts with funny stuff written on them. Honestly as long as they cover my naughty bits I don't really care.

Do you wear makeup?

Only for disguises.

What sort of vocal tone do you have?

Smooth I guess?

History

Where is your homeland?

Amerika!

Are you aware of its history?

Nothing besides how much ass it kicked!

Are you patriotic or a social outcast?

Neither? I'm not overly impressed with the way things are but I don't have any idea what to replace it with. Or how.

What are your opinion of home?

It's a great place, I wish I was there.

Where is your home town?

I uh, don't know. Los Angelas if I had to pick somewhere.

Are your real reasons for becoming an adventurer different from what you tell others?

Not really.

How far would you go to keep such secrets from being revealed? What would you do if the truth became known?

Break bones? I'd say risk my life but I've yet to find anything that could really hurt me. And I'd just adopt one my specially prepared alternate Identities.

What do you fear would occur if the truth became known?

That my partner will show up and kick my ass for getting sloppy.

Do you have any particularly high or low ability scores?

High strength, low nothing! /flex

How have these scores affected your life so far?

Well, I do seem to be unafraid of things most people run away from.

What about your race, growing up were you in the majority or a minority?

I suppose I was in the minority in my little slice of L.A., but no one really seemed to care. At least not to my face. Which is too bad, punching is fun.

Did this impact your outlook in any way?

Nope.

How do you feel about other races?

Like martians? As long as they're not invading I don't care.

Were there any traumatic experiences in your early years (death of a family member, abandonment, orphaned at an early age)?

My parents dropped me off at child welfare when I was young. And then no one wanted me I guess...

Briefly describe a defining moment in your childhood and how it influenced your life.

I ran away from 'the man' and started making my own way. Learned alot of lessons, both good and bad.

What stupid things did you do when you were younger?

Put up with getting pushed around by people weaker than me.

Which toys from your childhood have you kept?

None.

Why? What do they mean to you? If you didn't keep any, why not? What did you do to them all?

Because everyone else took them, a-holes.

Do you have any deep, dark secrets in the past that may come back to haunt you?

Not to your knowledge.

Are you who you claim to be?

Yes.

Do you have any sort of criminal record?

Who doesn't?

How do you view the heroes/legends of your country?

They need to make way for the next generation(namely me)

Family

Who were your parents?

The porters. I don't know much beyond that. Thanks for reminding me. Jerk.

Were you raised by them? If not, then why didn't they and who did raise you?

No, they abandoned me because of my 'special needs'. It's not my fault stuff is so easy to break! And I raised myself! Foster parents are worthless!

What was their standing in the community?

How the hell should I know?

Did your family stay in one area or move around a lot?

I moved around alot.

How did you get along with their parents?

Not very well.

How would your parents describe you? Answer this in the voice of your mother, then in your father's.

Probably as some sort of terrible demon child. At least that's what Sister Agnes always called me.

Do you have any siblings? If so how many and what were their names? How did you get along with each of your siblings?

No. At least, I don't think so?

What was your birth position in the family?

The one and only child! Though now I'm not so sure. Thanks again. Jerk.

List all current knowledge of family locations, spouses, children, birth dates, schooling, and any important incidents that only you and they might remember.

No.

Do you stay in touch with them or have you become estranged?

I don't talk to them and I'm not strange!

Do you love or hate one member of the family in particular?

I hate my parents. Alot. I love my crime fighting partner(who shall remain nameless) in a completely non-creepy way. And if you mention that to her I will hurt you. Alot.

Is any member of the family special to you in any way (perhaps, as a confidant, mentor, or arch-rival)?

My mentor was. I mean crime fighting partner.

Are there any black (or white) sheep in the family (including you)?

Me. Unless you get rid of the white sheep?

If so, who are they and how did they "gain" the position?

I think the final stra was me tearing the refridgerator door off.

Do you have a notorious or celebrated ancestor?

No flippin' clue.

If so, what did this person do to become famous or infamous?

See last question.

Do you try to live up to the reputation of your ancestor, try to live it down, or ignore it?

No.

Do you ever want to have a family of your own someday?

I dunno, haven't really thought about it. Too busy.

Would anything change your mind on this issue and if so, what?

A boyfriend maybe?

What type of person would be your ideal mate?

Probably one I wouldn't be able to accidently break. Or could heal if I did. Though the sound snapping bones make is grody.

Relationships

Do you have any close friends? If so, who and what are they like?

Justice, she's so nice and caring... and can kick anybody's ass.

What is the history of their relationship(s) with you?

She's my crime fighting-partner, mentor, and possibly my legal guardian? How does that work if they're missing?

Do you currently have a best friend whom you would protect with your reputation or your life?

Justice, but I already #&% that up real good.

If so, who are they and what caused you to feel so close to them? What would have to happen for you to end this relationship?

She saved me from going to jail and took care of me when everyone else just wanted to use me. Of course I wouldn't have been headed for jail if it hadn't been for her....

Do you have any bitter enemies?

One or two.

If so, who are they, what are they like, and what is the history of their feud with you?

The sinners. I will destroy them and they're stupid little club. They took my friend and that's just not gonna fly.

Have you defeated them before?

Seeing as how they're still around, no.

How might these enemies seek to discomfit you in the future?

Dying sounds pretty uncomfortable. And considering how tough I am to hurt probably very loud as well.

Which person(s) or group(s) are you most loyal to?

Justice, me.

Who is your most trusted ally?

Justice

Who do you trust, in general?

Nobody.

Who do you despise and why?

The Sinners, people who prey on the weak(because it makes them weak to do so)

Bullets, knives, superpowers(aimed at me), trash talkers. Yes I can count, no there's not seven things there.

Like boyfriends? No, I'd have to have one to lose one.
