RE Shadows in the Neon Night A cyberpunk World of Darkness CHARACTER TEMPLATE Name- Monica Carmichael World- Classic World of Darkness Species- Human Traditions Mage, Sons of Ether Age- 19 Gender- Female Sexuality- Bisexual and ready to experiment. Appearance- Personality- Unquenchable spirit, wild heart, and insatiable curiosity. SkillsAbilities- Notable Strengths- Agility, intelligence, compassion, and a willingness to work had and have fun doing so. Notable Weaknesses- Nowhere near as in touch with the modern world as she thinks she is. Monica prizes her individuality and self expression to a point that occasionally borders on dangerous. History- Knowing something of how much strangeness really exists in the world, Monica often speculates about the nature of her motherand whether Larissa was entirely human. Her father doesn't want to talk about her, and dismisses questions with a bittersweet smile when they get to personal. Your mother had her duties, Monica. I have mine. I'm just grateful to the Universe that mine allowed me to raise you. As a child, Moncia spent as much time among the Fellowship of Visionary Researchersa 'gentleman's club' that was the public face of a Sons of Ether chantryas she did in the sleeper's world. She was an enlightened scientist almost from birth, and isn't quite certain when she awakenedthough it must have been when or a little before her Avatar had it's first conversation with her. The upshot is that Monica grew proudly eccentric with a blend of old world flare and offbeat teenage pride. Her sleeper teachers were a good deal behind her in the science department, and her sleeper friends didn't really know what to make of her. As a result, most of Monicas roll modelsoutside of history and occasionally fictionwere drawn from among 17 men between the ages of 30 and 70perhaps older if gossip about some was to be believed. Some indulged her, others found the precious girl distracting to the point of annoyance. All were at some point willing to teach herat least a littlebut none of them really seemed to expect her to do anything worthwhile with the knowledge. Equipment- Sexy but not too revealing steampunk outfit bedecked with dozens of enlightened science gadgets. The band of her top hat includes sensors made to detect neural vibrations through the ethercommonly known as 'Vibes. Monica carries two advanced products of enlightened science. An electric-plasma pistol based on Tessla's designs and fueled by refined quintessence, and a bullet resistant corset that serves as light weight armor. Goals Optional- See Bellow Miscellaneous- Look, father. You taught me your art and your science. You taught me to fence, and fire a Tesla Ray. I learned everything you taught, and I'm hungry for more. More than that, I'm going to use these things. I'm going to make you proud in ways that you never thought to be proud of me for. I'm going to drag you and your old boys club kicking and screaming into the 21st century. Just look at the sleepers. Girls have taken the paths Madam Curie laid for us and used them as a rocket launch. We work in science, engineering, the arts, the police, and yes, the military. If a Sleeper girl can ascend to the highest levels of the U.S. Air Force and direct a successful war in Afghanistan, how much more can I do against the creatures of the night, with the enlightened science you've given me? Now I've said this, father. I'm not going to say it again. The next time you become aware of these truths, it will be as a result of my achievements. --Monica Carmichael, Enlightened Scientist of the Sons of Ether Tradition, on her reasons for becoming an Ascension Warrior. Spoken to her father, Dr. Dorian Carmichael, Vice Chair of the Fellowship of Visionary Researchers Gentleman's Club, on the night of her 19th birthday.
