Physical Appearance:
Age: 26
How old they appear: 26
Eye Color: Green
Glasses or contacts? Perfect 20/20 vision
Hair color length and style: Red hair that hangs to about her shoulders. Relatively straight, more or less messy in style as she's not particular about fixing it. When she's on a job she pulls it up in to a ponytail and clips it up to her head.
Weight and height: 125 lbs; 5'9"
Type of body (build): slim to athletic in build. But not overtly muscled
Skin tone and type (i.e., harry, slimy, scaly, oily, fair, burns easily): relatively fair, but unlike the typical Irish, she won't burn up in the sun.
Shape of face: Long, slightly pointed chin.
Distinguishing marks (dimples, moles, scars, birthmarks, etc.): No scars. A mole underneath of her left eye.
Predominant feature: Eyes are slightly narrow giving her a stern expression most of the time. Makes it difficult for her to appear happy or easy going.
Is s/he healthy? Yes, physically.
If not, why not? Or why are they healthy?
Do they look healthy? Why/why not? No; because she's constantly haunted by her past, racked with guilt.

Favorites:
Char’s favorite color: Brown
Least favorite, why? Pink, mother dressed her and her sister in matching pink for too long
Music? Classic rock (70s-80s)
Least favorite music, why? Hip-hop, she's not the kind of girl to start shaking her groove thing and cannot grasp the club scene at all.
Food: Potato chips. A girl's gotta snack on something when reading droll text.
Literature: Dusty volumes that have been lost or forgotten, preferably by Catholic churches.
Expressions: Narrowed eyes when suspicious, tightened lips when holding back, popped eyebrow when curious
Expletives (curse): s**t.
Mode of transport: '72 Camaro
Hobbies: Plinking
How do they spend a rainy day? cleaning her guns

Personality:
Are they a daredevil or cautious? She's a daredevil by comparison to the average person, but she sees herself as being at a proper level of caution when it comes to what she does. She's not about to do something suicidal when there could be other options.
Do they act the same alone as when with someone? In the general public, she puts on a happy face, pretends to be normal but generally fails. It tends to look forced. Amongst those close to her she does have a dry, morbid sense of humor but can otherwise be a bit dark.
Habits: Taps the butt of her guns when she's wearing her side holsters.
Drinks: whiskey if she's drinking alcohol; coffee in the morning
How much: Too much coffee, not enough alcohol considering her line of work (unless she's depressed, she has gone on benders before).
Greatest Strength: The clear headed thinking to get a job done
Greatest Weakness: Absolute concern and worry for the safety of all others
Soft spot: Anything that reminds her of her sister, whether its appearance, role, or personality and behavior
Is their soft spot obvious, why/why not: it becomes obvious as she takes a liking to Chris because he's a naturally unassuming type of person, much like her sister was. That and he's completely incapable of watching his own back which means Angela watches over it ten times over because she failed to do so for her sister.
If not, how do they hide it: She tries to hide it by keeping a gruff attitude but her actions speak louder than words.
Biggest Vulnerability: Fear of losing someone close to her.
Background: She was recruited by the CIA out of college and trained as a weapons specialist and used for political assassinations. Aside from weapons combat, she also learned hand to hand combat. She eventually quit and with the help of her sister, they became mercenaries, taking contracts for political targets based on the amount of good their death would do and not necessarily for who the good would be. She's an excellent marksman, and typically used sniper rifles. Together they formed a hitter/grifter team that was unmatched and untouchable by Interpol.

Past:
Hometown: Brigham, NY
Type of childhood: middle class, relatively normal. Raised by a single mother.
First Memory: Being pushed on the swings with her sister in the park by her mother and father.
Most important child hood event that still effects him/her: Death of her father
Why? It was her first lost loved one and the pain of losing her father bit hard because she was a daddy's girl
Education: Top of her classes in both HS and college. Majored in psychology.
Religion: Catholic
Finances: Well-off but doesn't flaunt it. Black trade in arms is doing well.

Family:
Mother: Christina Tracker
Relationship with her: It was good. They disagreed on Angela joining the military but came to agree to disagree. She was kept in the dark about her daughters' career choice after they began to work together later. She was told that they were merely head hunters for corporations
Father: David Tracker
Relationship with him: Very good. Angela was a daddy's girl and he doted on her. After the pink phase had ended, she became the son he never had--fishing, baseball, etc.
Siblings, How many, relationship with each: One sister--Allison Tracker. She and Allison were identical twins, nearly impossible to tell apart aside from the mole under Angela's left eye. Allison was a computers expert and became the grifter in their mercenary team. She was a relatively quiet girl but personable and able to get alone with nearly anyone.
Children of siblings: Never had children
Other extended family: Best friend, Rose
Close? Why or why not: Very close because Rose never had siblings and they became friends in middle school. Rose is a psychic and therefore, Angela was unable to hide her true career from her as she worked for the CIA and then eventually herself. After the death of both her mother and sister, it was Rose who tracked Angela down in a dingy bar and forced her to snap to.

Attitude:
Most at ease when: she's in charge of a situation and nothing is going wrong--yet
Most ill at ease when: everything starts to fall apart unexpectedly
Priorities: Finding the vampire who killed her family and dissecting him
Philosophies: "If you can't beat them, well, you need to find a bigger stick."
How they feel about themselves:
Past failure they would be embarrassed to admit: That she willingly took on the contract that resulted in her sister's death without a single second thought despite knowing that the man they were after had been associated with the deaths of twelve women.
Why? She was too sure of herself to have any doubts.
If granted one wish what would it be, why? To go back and replan that contract. She would still take it but this time, she wouldn't be using a sniper rifle but rather she would take him down up close and personal so she could be sure he was dead.
Traits:

Optimist or pessimist? Why? Pessimist generally because what's there to be optimistic about? She has her moments when she can be optimistic but they appear to be forced.
Introvert or extrovert? Why? Introverted because she knows there's a certain level of danger in revealing herself to others.
Drives and motives: Revenge.
Talents: Weapons and hand to hand combat
Extremely skilled at: use of a sniper rifle
Extremely unskilled at: pulling a con because she gets impatient and becomes forceful.
Good characteristics: She cares about the people she cares about
Character flaws: Impatient and generally doesn't trust people much
Mannerisms: Never leaves home without at least one gun
Peculiarities: Drives a classic car and doesn't bother with a spare but rather keeps a duffel bag filled with weapons in its place.
Biggest regret: Being entirely helpless to help her family
Minor regrets: Rough handling Chris, benching Rose on several occasions
Biggest accomplishment: Killing a vampire
Minor accomplishments: Killing a werewolf, she felt bad because they were still human 25/28 days
Darkest secret: She was terrified when she saw her sister die
Does anyone know? Rose
How did they find out: "read" it
Self-perception: She's a troubled individual with only one more role worth playing, a hunter who can perhaps do some last bit of good for humanity

One word they would use to describe themselves: Rambo
One paragraph of how they would describe themselves: "There are just some people who don't belong in normal society. I'm one of them. And before I go, and I have no qualms about the fact that I will eventually die, probably in some gruesome terrible way too, I plan to take out as many of those other ******** as I can."
What do they consider their best physical characteristic and why: Her legs, because they haven't let her down yet.
The worst one? Why? Hair, because she doesn't spend any time on it. She accepts this though and continues to not bother anyway
Are they realistic assessments? Pretty much.
If not, why not?
How they think others preserve them: "What's wrong with her?"
What four things would they most like to change about themselves: Personality, personality, personality, skill set
Why? She doesn't particularly like who she's become but she's not sure where she went wrong either.
If they were changed would they be the same person, why/why not: No. You don't end up being Angela Tracker without all kinds of screwed up stuff happening to you along the way. Changing that would change her. She'd probably be your school counselor.
Would changing of number 1 make them more happy? Why/why not: Well, that is why she'd like to change her personality. But she has her moments when she's happy now. She mostly just needs to learn to open up to others.

Interaction with other people:
How do they relate to others: She struggles. She's not very open and has trouble trusting others who aren't already in her inner circle. And when she meets someone that it's easy with, she's bothered by it ten times over.
How are they perceived by strangers: Strange, moody, quiet girl. Something must be bothering her. Best to leave her alone or show her the door.
Friends: Oye vai...*head in hands*
Wife/husband/lover: *blinks* "Pretty girl..."
The Hero/Heroin: We don't have none of those round these parts...
How do they view the Hero/Heroine: "Wait, if you're implying that's me, you've gotta be mistaken. I'm like the anti-hero."
First impression of the char: She's a bit dark, stuck in the past, and overly protective.
why? Story opens up with her defending the honor of her '72 Camaro and talking about monsters.
What happens to change this perception: She meets Chris and softens somewhat--only somewhat.
What do people like most about this char: Dunno...haven't ever shared her with the world before.
What do they dislike most about them: *shrugs*

Goals:
Immediate: Find the werewolf, kill the werewolf, don't get killed.
Long term: Find the vampire who killed her family and kill him.
How do they plan to accomplish them: Keep searching, perhaps some bait would help?
How will others be effected by this: Chris will be forced to make some choices about his own life, Rose will question why she puts up with this.

Problems/Crisis:
How do they react in a crisis: Depends, but usually falls back on adrenaline
How do they face problems: with the pull of a trigger
Kind of problems they usually run into: Well, they're dark, hairy, have long fangs, sometimes they drool...
How they react to new problems: blinks somewhat stupidly then curses.
How they react to change: Lots of cursing.

General:
Favorite clothing, why: Jeans and a t-shirt. Loose fitting jackets. She likes to be comfortable and looser clothing helps to conceal the firepower.
Least favorite, why: Dresses. Little bit of wind and oopsie daisy. Too flirty.
Jewelry: A pendant of the Archangel Michael, the patron saint of warriors.
Other accessories: Earth tone jewelry, nothing flashy. Oh, and gun holsters.
Drives: '72 Camaro
Where do they live: Brigham, NY
Where do they want to live: On the road
Spending habits, why: Relatively conservative aside from the weapons. There she won't bat an eye at purchases ranging in the 100Ks.
What do they do too much of, why: Cleaning her guns, she's obsessive compulsive about their fireability. The last thing she wants is for them to misfire and be the cause of losing someone else that's close to her.
Most prized possession, why: .45 Colt she keeps in a shoulder holster. It was the weapon her sister carried and it's the weapon she plans to shoot her sister's killer with.
People they secretly admire, why: Chris, because he's a laid back guy without a care in the world seemingly.
Person they are most influenced by, why: her sister
Most important person in their life before story starts, why: her sister. She's her best friend, her coworker, and the catalyst for the last big change in her life.
How do they spend the week just before the story starts: sitting at home, scouring the internet looking for hinky things. Spots a story about a strange bear attack in Edelbrook, New Hampshire and hits the road.

This is by far the longest character sheet I have ever filled out. Perhaps edging on too long...I need to find a more concise one.
