Appearance
Daniele is relatively short, standing at 4' 1". She weighs roughly 87 pounds. Her hair is long and brown, tied into a ponytail in back, and her bangs hang down aronud her face, ending at roughly halfway down her chest. Her eyes are an icy blue color, which constrasts sharply with her moderately tanned skin. She wears small glasses with light blue lenses and boltgun metal frames, which sit on the end of her slightly pointed nose. She is almost always wearing a plain black backpack, hanging by one strap on her left shoulder. Her clothing is usually a shady, tannish off-white color; she usually wears light-colored jeans, a loose, plain, cream-colored t-shirt, and an unbuttoned button-down shirt over that.

Physical Appearance
Hair - Brown
Eyes - Blue
Height - 4' 1"
Weight - 87 lbs.
Age - 19

Background
Daniele was born in the French city of Paris, nineteen years ago, on May 15th. She grew up in a well-mannered home. She was well-educated, and taught by some of the finest teachers France had to offer. Daniele was meticulous in her studies, never ignoring anything. She wasn't particularly interested in anything, though she was into one subject or another for a few months every year or so. However, after several years, she discovered a concept: artificial intelligence. She became obsessed with the idea, and studied everything about it that was available. Her interests in computer science, computer engineering, and neurobiology increased, to the detriment of her other studies. When she turned 17, she graduated from high school, and submitted admission forms to one of the colleges in Southampton, in England, as she'd heard good things about it from one of her relatives. She was accepted.

Daniele left her family, and is currently studying at the Southampton University. Though only a couple of years in, she is already an accomplished programmer, and works with the school's sysadmin in protecting the school's networks. Her major is a split major in Computer Science and Neurobiology.

In addition to having interest in artificial intelligence, Daniele also enjoys tinkering; having found instructions on the 'net, she has constructed a small arsenal out of electrical implements and other items in her free time. She also sometimes works on her Ducati, which was a gift from a close friend when she left France.

However, going to school is very expensive - and while Daniele and her family are relatively well-off, she was still too poor to afford real accomodations. She searched for a home, and found a rented house that was inhabited by several other people. Not really minding having to share a home with others, she went ahead and, and a few calls and a week later, she was living there, surrounded by strangers.

Occupational Benefits
Permanent Class Skills: Computer Use, Knowledge (Technology), Perform (Dance).
Wealth +1

Personality
Daniele is a relatively friendly person. She isn't terribly outgoing, but she's not shy, either. She takes her work seriously, and doesn't appreciate others making fun of her for it. She isn't all work, either, though - she took a dancing class in high school, and isn't afraid to show off her talents. She is a little reserved, as not being in her home country has made her a little nervous, but she is settling in.

In a conflict, she is more likely to either ignore it altogether or to try to take on the role of mediator. If there is a clear aggressor, she sides against them. When dealing with people who have problems, she tries to take on the role of counsellor, trying to help them out as best as she can.

Though she's been in England for a little over a year, she still isn't used to speaking English all the time, and occassionally lapses back into French. She usually only does this when stressed, surprised, or not paying too close attention, and she usually corrects herself rather quickly.

Daniele is ambidexterous, but she favors her left hand.

[Edit: Added taser. Added in age, and occupational bonuses. Changed name spelling from Danielle to Daniele, as Danielle was already registered. :) Added in a little more detail to the personality section. Tinkered a little with stats. Changed some skills around. Changed some more skills around. Added equipment. Changed some wording. Added stun gun. Added explanation for weaponry in background. Added vehicle. Fixed age and some background to make more sense.]

Appearance
Imran is of fairly average height and weight, standing 5'8" and weighing 160 lbs. His hair is short and tidy, not the traditional long hair of a Sikh man, and he does not wear a turban. His eyes are a rich brown color, and his skin is dark. His clothing is usually a light blue or white short-sleeve dress shirt and tan or khaki Dockers.

Physical Appearance
Hair - Black
Eyes - Brown
Height - 5' 8"
Weight - 160 lbs.
Age - 25

Background
Imran is the only child of a pair of Sikh immigrants to England. His parents immigrated to the UK in the late '60's, and though they've done their best to maintain tradition, Imran has become fairly well assimilate. This is best seen by his short hair and lack of the traditional turban. Despite this, he still gets along well enough with his parents, who live in a London suburb.

Always a serious and studious child, Imran has already completed a Bachelors of Science in Physics at the Queen Mary University of London, and he spent semesters abroad in Lyon, France, and Hamburg, Germany as and undergrad. Now pursuing a doctorate in Physics at the University of Southampton, working in the High Energy Physics Department. He plays on a club cricket team at U of S.

Attempting to get by without help from his parents on a graduate student's stipend, he's taken to lodging with an eclectic group of people in a private home in Southampton.

Occupation Bonuses
Permanent Class Skills: Knowledge (Physical Sciences), Knowledge (Technology), Research.
Wealth +3

Personality
Imran is on the queit and serious side. He is quite polite, though, and this allows him to get along well with most people. The one thing that will get him to loosen up is a chance to play or talk about cricket. He has a passion for physics, but he will not open up in the same way in discussing it since the times he has done so in the past invariably brought the conversation to a screeching halt. He hopes one day to become a professor and be able to instill his love of physics into future scientists.

Languages
Spoken: English
Read/Written: English

Appearance
Richard is tall and slim, but what muscle he has is tightly corded and meticulously maintained by a rigorous physical regimen that begins every day before dawn. He has shaved his head down to stubble and keeps his face clean-shaven as well. He typically wears football shorts with running shoes and a tucked-in t-shirt. When he needs something with pockets, he'll go with ironed and starched khakis but prefers to keep his informal style otherwise.

Physical Appearance
Hair - Brown (Shaved)
Eyes - Blue
Height - 6' 1"
Weight - 146 lbs.
Age - 28

Background
Richard was born in East Grinsted before it became the haven of seemingly every Scientologist on the bloody planet. By the time L. Ron Hubbard had settled his new flock to the small English town, nearly every native was a convert. He showed strong athleticism early on, enough to warrant the attention of a boy's prep school in Southampton.

As he grew, scouts began to come to watch him play football at the school and were impressed. The headmaster liked the attention brought to the school and pushed Richard toward further athletic excellence, but only as long as he pursued his studies in a satisfactory manner.

He began to travel with various Under-umpteen teams, progressing well year by year. When he graduated secondary school, Richard was instantly recruited by one of Manchester's discovery teams. He played for Manchester for four years where he performed admirably. At last, he earned his shot at the national team. For another three years, Richard Percivale lived the high life as a sports star.

During the last World Cup, playing for England, Richard suffered a devestating injury to his knee. Three ligaments and a muscle required repair. All the Queen's doctors and all the Queen's physical therapists couldn't put Richard's knee back together like it had been.

One of the therapists recommended he try Yoga to regain his prodigous flexibility. He did, eventually spreading his interest into Tae Kwan Do, a martial art focusing on footwork. Still, he never regained his status with his professional or national teams. His contracts grew smaller and a subsequent injury took him out of professional sports for good.

Richard took what little money he had left and bought a townhouse in Southampton where he rents out rooms to college students and single people. He still has a bit squirrled away, but splurged recently on a Cooper-Mini. He easily aquired a job as a football coach at the same school he attended as a teen and lives well enough, though nothing like he used to.

Occupational Benefits
Permanent Class Skills: Balance, Jump, and Tumble. Wealth +1

Personality
Richard is a all-around decent chap. He goes out of his way to help young people on the outs (when the paychecks were big he was into philanthropy) with their dreams but recently his coaching job has taken up a lot of his time. He gets along well with most folks and enjoys a good time as much as anyone but jumps at the chance for any sort of competition. He is competitive to a fault.

Richard is left handed and footed.

Background:
Born and Rasied in LA, Chandler came from a middle classed family. From the time he was a young boy he always had two real passions in life, Monsters, and writing. Chandler pulled down dececnt grades in school, and even managed to get a grant to attend a small colllage and study Journalism. After grauduating collage he hoped to get a day job as an investigative reporter for one of the larger newspapers in LA, and write horror fiction on the side. Too bad for him, you don't always get what you want. Chandler was turned down by every major newspaper in LA, and he quickly found he didn't have the stamina for writting novels. Fortuantely he managed to luck in to the perfect job for his skills, freelance tabliod journalist. Chandler spent several years building a rep as the go to guy for tabliod monster stories. Two years out of collage he was married, had a son on the way, and was in nagotiations for a perminate possition at one of the cities most popular tabliods. Things were going great, he got the job, a small house for his family, and a pretty good used car. A few years later he had his first "sighting". He was on assignment in Mexico doing a story on the legendary choupa cabla, a large vampiric rodent. When he actually found one, he refused to believe it. Tring his best to forgoet the incedent he went home and continued to work, every so offten he stumble on to a story that appeared to be real. Chandler kept it to himself though, locking the memories away, in fear that he'd be labled insane. After a while this took a toll on him, his writting started to become dark, and he became withdrawn, and began ignoring the family and friends. He even started drinking. Eventually things came to a head, his wife devorced him, he lost the custody battle for his son, and his best friend and editor put him on extended leave from the tabliod. Under the pretense of writting a book on english folklore, Chandler up and moved to Southhampton. The only place he could find in his price range was a small attic room in a house being rented by some collage students. It's hot, and there isn't a ton of room, but it's cheap. He's sence been trying despertly to get himself back together. Chandler has stopped drinking, and has been taking work as a tutor, as well as doing a little freelancing for english tabliods. One thing that hasn't changed is he's a gifted investigator and journalist.

Character Description : Of British and Lebanese descent, Amir has features hailing from both lines. His skin tone is a light and his face is angular. He has the sleek, toned body of a fencer. His lithe movements are a testament to his skill and to his highly trained leg muscles. Confident but quiet, Amir hides his true ferocity of spirit and only unleashes it on those minions of the shadow who are unlucky enough to cross his path.


Character History : Amir was born in Beirut, Lebanon in the summer of 1977. His father was a British diplomat and his mother a language professor and a Lebanese national. Soon after Amir's birth, the Osbournes left Beirut for France. After a few years stationed in Paris, Amir's father was promoted and the family moved once again, this time to Washington, DC in the States.

It was there, as an impressionable high school student, that Amir was first introduced to the Shadow. A homeless man who simply went by the name Rudy befriended young Amir. Rudy proved to be a powerful Occultist who pulled back the curtain from the "real" world and showed Amir how the "unreal" lived right beside them all the time, unseen and virtually unchecked. Slowly, Rudy took Amir under his wing and with the help of a loose network of other heroes, began training the boy to fight the Shadow. Having already learned the finer points of ancient swordplay, Amir had no trouble securing a position on the fencing team when he eventually enrolled at American University.

After sustaining an injury during the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, Amir officially retired from competitive fencing. After graduating from American University in 1999, Amir was hired as the assistant coach of the fencing team at the University of Southampton, finally becoming the head coach two years later after the former coach retired.

Amir has found Southampton to be a hotbed of activity for the Shadow. It is good, then, that he is finally coming into his own as a Slayer, for the world needs him now more than ever.
