Character Information
Summary
A face with a knack for investigation skills and stuff involving crime and the law. When her charm is no longer needed, she is a good shot with pistols and sporting rifles.
Goals
- Acquire fame amongst the general populace of Seattle as someone you can trust when you need to get to the bottom of some form of mystery.
- Becoming feared among the criminal underworld. With a signature calling card and a distinct style to her, she wants to be seen and to be known.
- Companionship. Friends, lovers, coworkers. She wants to have a trustworthy group to join her on her exploits.
Background
Summer Whittington was born and raised in the harsh city of London. Not that she remembers that much of it, as her family immigrated to Seattle shortly after. Her mother passed during childbirth, leaving Summer as an only child with just one parent, her father. A trustworthy and honorable man who despite that was apart of the Knights Errant as a Detective, working to keep his daughter's home and the home of many others, Seattle, safe. A hardworking man that helped form the basis of who Summer would later become. The image of a security officer became one that she would trust and depend on, a symbol of home and of her father.
Reaching the age of maturity, Summer wanted to follow in her father's footsteps. Entering a local University to study forensics, the intelligent and charming girl was able to get herself right into the same workforce as her father, roughly. Being able to talk with people from all sorts of lifestyles, and seeing the world a lot more clearly helped her realize that the Knight's Errant was not filled with people like her father, but instead much more disgusting folk. While her original objective going into University was to become a KE Detective just like her father, that quickly soured. She still loved her dad deeply, and would not judge him for the job that he had. Her relationship with the corporation grew complicated. She had them to thank for the easy childhood she had, but she was not blind to the fact that they had gross practices.
It was only after a long (and difficult) talk with her father that Summer found a newer purpose for herself. Not wanting to be corrupt like the corp, she entered the private circuit as a simple Private Investigator. A detective, just like her father.
Now using the skills that they had given her for the sake of whoever forked over enough nuyen to get her attention, she found much more success. And a few enemies along the way.
Narrative Significant Qualities
Positive
Guts - Summer does well against formidable odds. Even when she should back down, she refuses to. While a positive in the heat of the moment, those that know her well enough do see her attempts at bravery as foolhardy. Summer is not a strong person, not even that heavily augmented either. She is putting herself in danger with none of the things to back it up.
College Education - With some people it means nothing. Summer is able to talk with some eloquence, clearly intelligent. But with those that could never get an education, her style of speak can be seen as if she is talking down to them. Which on top of being an Elf and the stereotypes around them... can be problematic.
Too Pretty To Hit - Mostly mechanical, but can have narrative elements to it. Summer is absolutely good looking. There is no way around it. Even by the standards of female elves, she is absolutely good looking. And this is something she uses to her advantage, charming people and understanding her attractive figure can help her in some situations. In combat specifically, she can easily call upon someone's savior complex. While not exactly looking like a princess, she can play the part of a damsel in distress.
Negative
Addiction - Lumping both of them together, they are much more than mechanical problems. Summer is absolutely dependent on the drugs. They are what equalizes her, and help her do her job effectively. They are her crutch, and without them she is suffering a lot more than just withdrawal.
Code of Honor - Summer follows the Code of Wuxia, though she will not call it that. The tenets are simple, and vital to her ideology. She may not harm the innocent. She may never accept bribes or misuse authority. And she may not serve the corrupt. Certainly makes her a Mr.Johnson's worse nightmare.
Distinctive Style - A British accent isn't exactly common around here. Especially from someone as undeniably beautiful as Summer is.
Signature - A Queen of Hearts. One singular card that Summer wants to become feared. A Queen of Hearts represents her doing. Her work. She wants them to know her name.
SINner - Summer is an official citizen of the UCAS. She is in the system, whether she likes it or not.
