Message: <blockquote data-quote="the_myth" data-source="post: 3653970" data-attributes="member: 20081">Venus Asterea HawkwoodVenus Asterea Hawkwood was born the second daughter of a third son in House Hawkwood.  Since she would never earn a high title through birthright, her father astutely noted her academic talents and steered her towards the Academy.  Venus flourished in the study of history, due in part to her burgeoning psychic power to know the past of items she can touch.  Tapped by a secretive coven, Venus expanded her occult powers while using her photographic memory to absorb as much knowledge at school as possible.Learning quickly that not all knowledge can be found in books and Think Machine files, Venus also became quite adept at using her natural charm and beauty to influence others.  These courtier skills made her a rather suitable potential bride, but Venus has managed to dissuade her father from marrying her off to some aged Baron as yet.  By joining the Company of the Phoenix, Venus hopes to retain her independence from her family obligations while at the same time gaining in her own personal honor (with the potential of choosing her own husband, if she so chooses).Character Block in spoiler[sblock]Dame Venus Asterea Hawkwood Human Noble (House Hawkwood); Adept 2/Expert 2; Init +2, Spd 30ft.; Defense (role) Parry 11; Dodge 14, Flat 12; Grpl +1, Att +4 melee (Knife, +0 damage, crit 19-20/+3), or +4 Ranged (Stunner, Fort save DC15 or stunned, range 30 ft, ammo 10) or +4 Ranged (Palm Laser, damage +3, crit 19-20/+3, range 50 ft, ammo 4); SV: Toughness +0 unarmored (+1 silk, +7 w/energy shield, +4 w/shield vs. blaster & fire), Fortitude +0, Reflex +5, Willpower +3; Nature: Just but Prideful; Current Wealth +10; Reputation +2; Conviction 5; Str -1, Int +2; Wis +0, Dex +2; Con +0, Cha +4Skills: Acrobatics 5 (+7), Bluff [Knavery] 7 (+11), Computers [Think Machine] 1 (+3), Concentration [Stoic Mind] 4 (+4), Diplomacy 7 (+11), Gather Information 7 (+11), Knowledge [Academia]* (History) 7 (+13), Knowldege [Academia]* (all others) 0 (+6), Medicine [Physick] 2 (+2), Search 2 (+4), Sense Motive 7 (+7)Free feats: Imperial Charter: Questing Knight; Noble Title (Dame).
