Character Information

Summary

Axe murderer. Well, maybe a bit less crass than that. But she has an axe and she's not shy about murder. Bloodletter's a worrisome sort, a touch paranoid as runners come, and tries to play up the fearsome and inhumane angle just to get other people off her back. Bloodletter is a little more wise than she lets on, though. She plays her cards close to her chest, but if you get to know her she's quite a spiritual individual, who practices meditation and personal temperance.

Goals

• Food. That means flesh.
• Get chemsealed gear so other people don't have to constantly worry about my sweat and tears.
• Master the art of Hapsum-Do.
• Bring down at least one relatively-big spirit with her axe as a mark of personal triumph.

Background

Once upon a time, an actual firefighter. Real name Theresa Claville. Unfortunately for her, firefighter gear ain't combat rated, so when some freak's pet feral ghoul got loose in a burning building that she was helping clear out, it didn't really stop the bite. Ghouls don't make for good fire team rescuers. Fired, ostracized, real SIN burnt to a crisp in short order because UCAS does not recognize ghoul citizenship. But hey.. she knows how to work an axe, and has a good sense for danger. The running business is a good source of meat, too. Learning to live as an infected has changed her way of life dramatically. Few people trust you, fewer still want to spend a minute in arm's reach. First she took to alcohol to drown her problems, but.. It didn't help so much. "Bloodletter" then turned to meditation, then to spiritual martial arts and zen archery, but while this eased her heart, her stomach continues to be hungering for human flesh. So, her situation remains complicated.

Narrative Significant Qualities

• Infected: Ghoul: There's no two ways around it. She's a monster, and you're meat.
• Distinctive Style: That axe is custom made, engraved with a gaudy-ass skull design, and she makes no attempt at hiding it. She also is very distinct in her aggressive demeanor, making petty, empty threats about eating people.
• The Goat: Easy to blame. Doesn't make friends easily. Bloodletter is often first to be betrayed. She expects it at this point.

Positive

• Infected: Ghoul
• Dual-Natured Defender

Negative

• Distinctive Style
• Dry Addict (Mild) (Alcohol)

In Character Information

Matrix Search Table

Threshold	Result
1	SIN claims she's a firefighter and that her axe is a necessary tool to break down doors. Who the hell's buying that?
3	Likely infected relatively recently. Appears to be a new runner with few connections as yet. Was scouted by the 162 Ghouls but declined ordained membership.
6	Tracking official records of HMHVV infections isn't easy, but narrowing it down to women her size indicates a former firefighter with a revoked UCAS SIN went missing not too long before she showed up. Original name, Theresa Claville. Family is still alive, denies knowledge of her whereabouts.

Shadow Community Table

Threshold	Result
1	Claimed physad with an axe. Barely taken any jobs yet.
3	She makes no secret that she's a ghoul. Obviously, no problem with wetwork.
5	'Melissa' currently lives in a van and stays on the move. Often seen in and out of Barrens. Still getting used to her new diet.

Assensing Table

Threshold	Result
1	HMHVV positive, but otherwise healthy. Awakened (all Infected are Awakened, numbskull!).
2	She's a physical Adept. Those are cybereyes in her skull. If a ghoul implants new bio eyes, those will just go blind too.
3	By the way, she's a ghoul.
4	Essence sitting at 4.25, Magic at 4. She's got altered musculature, Muscle Toner bioware. Did you know the ghoul infection burns away a sixth of the soul?
5	Well, you can make out that it's specifically HMHVV Strain III now. It's probably harmless.

Appearance

Bloodletter looks pretty average, but only because she's put in a lot of work for her appearance. Strawberry pink hair and deep red cybereyes, reasonably fit and tall for a lady. Beneath the synthskin, the smartwig, and the various masks, she's at least some part the ravenous zombie you'd expect from a ghoul. But she's not nearly so gruff as she acts, and the "I'll eat your skin" act is mostly to keep people far enough that they don't get infected too.

Clothing

Heavily clad in treated synthleather, dyed red. Wears a respirator off runs and a full face combat mask on runs. Generally tries to keep herself wrapped up and keep exposure to both other people and sunlight to a minimum. You know the drill.

Matrix Persona

A firetruck that transforms into an automaton like some old retro cartoon.
