Re: Character Profile Excercise

Full name: Lucinda S. Carlton.

AKA: Amelia Parker, Melodie Hall, Cristophe-Jaques Debeaumarche, Caroline.
Age: 27.
Birth Place: Earth
Physical Description: 180cm, slim, athletic build, cafe-au-lait complexion and chin-length brown hair.Always wears a pair of sunglasses to hide her eyes.
Nervous Habits: Talking to herself, analysing locale she's in.
Common Swear Words/Phrases: Bugger, Damn.
Vocal Patterns: Well-spoken, careful, confident and sardonic.
Sexual Profile: Very little sexual activity, but prefers the dark-featured and unpretentious.
Family: No family. She keeps their whereabouts to herself, and may be an orphan.
Friendships: "Jane", a fellow mercantile; Cristopher, a potential, maybe, if she ever makes her mind up, lover.
Religion: Somewhere inbetween Christianity and atheism, without any belief in the divinity of Jesus and little in the existance of God. She works on the principle that anything could happen, but things would be better for her in the end if the heaven and hell thing was all a big misunderstanding.
Dislikes: The pretentious, and those who are clearly less intellegent than they believe. K. S. S. Vernonson, accountant.
Habits: Soliloquising, affecting disinterest
Hobbies: Writing her memoirs; drawing; amature zoology of the wetlants.
Professional History: Was picked up by the Debeaumarche family on Sirius, and became a small-time thief for them, gradually being moved into assassinations aswell. At the age of twenty-two, she bought her way out of the family and went free-lance from an uncertain location in the city of Schwartzstein, where she operates through a front in the form of a detective agency (which is occaisionally legitimate). She mostly works thefts and sabotages, but is sometimes forced to accept wet-work because she needs the money to stay concealed.
Educational History: None before age nineteen, except for primary school and one year of secondary. The Debeaumarches gave her Direct Neural Didact (DND) courses to make her more knowledgeable and therefore less conspicuous. Equivelant to a Bachelor of the Arts in Hitory and English, and an excelent grounding in Languages and Psychology.
Social Class: Initially very low, but elevated to a middle-class socialite status by association with the Debeaumarches.
Prejudices: Due to a vein of self-loathing for her former self, she is more likely to punch a drunk or high person than tolerated them.
Faults: Amoral at times, overly-judgemental.
Attributes: Personable, friendly, very fit, a master of short-range weaponry and hand-to-hand combat.
Origin: A prostitute on Earth, she killed a customer who over-stepped the mark, and fled to Sirius in the misguided belief of finding a new and better life. Here, she was bogged-down in the ghetto of Sangott until she found work for the Debeaumarches, who recognised her moral ambiguity and the fact that it was not marred by psychopathy, and her great intellegence. From here, she worked her way quickly up the ladder and left the clan after living as the adopted niece of Jean Debeaumarche, the clan head. From there, she left planet and established her successful buisness. She consistently attempts to phase-out the murder aspect, but is fighting a losing battle, and her notoriety recently brought her under scrutiny by the mysterious K S S Vernonson, accountant, who is trying to incorporate her into the Hydra Association with minimal success.

I hope that wasn't too dull. You've all got some pretty interesting characters yourselves. I'm just trying to avoid cliched "Future Bounty-Hunter" scenarios, myself. Goodluck to all in their endeavours.
