Summary

Face/Gunslinger Adept with a side of infil and animal handling

Goals

Make $$$.
Improve her skills through any means necessary.
Become one of the most influential figures in the Seattle Underworld.

Background

All things considered Ranger, born Alyssa Abbott, had a fairly normal childhood. She was raised by her mother and her deadbeat dad was nowhere to be seen. The only father figure in her life was her uncle, a retired Urban Brawl player who'd somehow made it out with all of his limbs still attached. Ranger's uncle was very fond of her, largely viewing her as his own daughter, and taught her how to defend herself with weekly firearms training. When they discovered she was an adept, it was also him who pushed her to train her magic.

Unfortunately, Ranger didn't fair too well in school. She found herself with an acute disinterest in all lectures and reading assignments, which led to poor results on tests and papers. It was around this time she met Raven, who convinced her to use her natural abilities to her advantage, encouraging her to cheat. Not only did she do this, but she also began using her talents to operate a small business, selling test answers for pocket change to her fellow students. Ultimately, while this was small time stuff, it led to Ranger falling in with a bad crowd. At age 16 she began selling Bliss to her fellow classmates, at 18 she helped small gangs boost cars, at 20 it was small scale B&E's. This trend continued for many years, until she found herself in need of a place to launder her ill-gotten gains. She purchased a failing club in Seattle's downtown district and pumped cash injection after cash injection until it became what it is today: Club Destiny, a thriving business frequented by a number of Seattle's more well to do criminals, up and coming stars & starlets, and junior executives. It was here that she met Jinx, who had sought her out specifically as she'd heard of Ranger's exploits and wanted to offer her a chance at a new class of crime.

Narrative Significant Qualities

Did You Just Call Me Dumb?: There aren't many people Ranger truly respects. She views nearly everyone as a potential mark or tool to be used until they prove themselves otherwise. Unfortunately, she isn't too great at hiding her lack of respect.
Mentor Spirit: Ranger views Raven as her partner in crime. His sense of humor and tendency to stick out for #1 is something she can truly get behind.
SINner National: UCAS citizenship registered to "Alyssa Abbot."

Appearance

A tall elvish woman with high cheekbones and a lean face. Typically wears form-fitting fashionable outfits, her runner gear almost exclusively consists of high-fashion armored suits and coats with a handful of accessories. She has a penchant for darker colors and this is reflected in both her wardrobe and other cosmetic choices. Her primary fake SIN is registered to Monica Black, an alternate identity with brown eyes, a shorter nose, and chubbier cheeks. This look is accomplished through the use of facial sculpting, polychromatic lenses, and make-up.

Forearm Guards: solid black bracers that comfortably fit under her coat

Matrix Persona

Modeled after a typical ranger from fantasy games, her persona bears a passing resemblance to herself but in a cartoonish style, wearing a green cloak with a bow slung over her back and a black crow sitting on her head.

 ==Background==
-Alyssa Abbot was born in September 2052, to a single mother living in Downtown Seattle with her older brother (a recently retired Urban Brawl player). Her father is a low-level Renraku employee who had no interest in sticking around to raise a child. She began to develop her adept powers around the age of 12, and her uncle (with a suspicious amount of enthusiasm and urgency) took the opportunity to teach her to use firearms as well as a rigorous physical education regimen in under to help her develop her powers. As she grew up she took a liking to basic, mostly harmless pranks, attracting the interest of the Raven. With Raven's help and a judicious amount of cheating, she managed to graduate with much higher grades than she really had any reason to.
+All things considered Ranger, born Alyssa Abbott, had a fairly normal childhood. She was raised by her mother and her deadbeat dad was nowhere to be seen. The only father figure in her life was her uncle, a retired Urban Brawl player who'd somehow made it out with all of his limbs still attached. Ranger's uncle was very fond of her, largely viewing her as his own daughter, and taught her how to defend herself with weekly firearms training. When they discovered she was an adept, it was also him who pushed her to train her magic.
-Shortly after she left for college her mother retired and immigrated to the California Free State. At school, Alyssa studied Architecture but soon realized that she wasn't really suited for the more technical aspects of higher education. In particular, she found herself largely incapable of passing any type of math classes. She also underwent more extensive training as an adept during this time-frame, learning from the hermetic tradition of magic to control her powers, which largely clashed with her natural way of communing with magic. The stress associated with less than stellar grades and a workload well beyond her capacity led her to to drop all of her classes mid semester, instead traveling across the country, using her powers in less than legal ways to support herself. She returned 2 years later at the insistence of her uncle and continued her studies, this time at a much slower space.
+Unfortunately, Ranger didn't fair too well in school. She found herself with an acute disinterest in all lectures and reading assignments, which led to poor results on tests and papers. It was around this time she met Raven, who convinced her to use her natural abilities to her advantage, encouraging her to cheat. Not only did she do this, but she also began using her talents to operate a small business, selling test answers for pocket change to her fellow students. Ultimately, while this was small time stuff, it led to Ranger falling in with a bad crowd.

It was here that she met Jinx, who had sought her out specifically as she'd heard of Ranger's exploits and wanted to offer her a chance at a new class of crime.
-The day of her graduation her uncle was nowhere to be seen and couldn't be reached by any means. She contacted KE to look into his disappearance, but she didn't hear back from them for days, and when she did they returned with the news that her uncle had been killed in an accident. No official investigation followed, she was never asked to confirm the identity of the body, and the service was closed casket. Alyssa began digging into the incident herself, and finding no evidence of an accident she decided to search her uncle's apartment which had been left to her in his will. The only thing of note she found was a cheap commlink, with 2 contacts in it, Jinx & Dr. Gotham. They initially didn't answer when she called them, but she kept calling, and when they finally picked up they had an interesting story to tell. Alyssa decided to pick up where her uncle left off, donning the name Ranger, with the singular goal of finding out what happened to her uncle that night, and avenging him if at all possible.

+*Did You Just Call Me Dumb?: There aren't many people Ranger truly respects. She views nearly everyone as a potential mark or tool to be used until they prove themselves otherwise. Unfortunately, she isn't too great at hiding her lack of respect.
+*Mentor Spirit: Ranger views Raven as her partner in crime. His sense of humor and tendency to stick out for #1 is something she can truly get behind.
-* Bi-Polar: Ranger was diagnosed with rapid cycling type II bipolar disorder while attending college. She has a prescription for mood stabilizers issued to her national SIN and renews it monthly. Ranger is on the more extreme end of rapid cyclers so if she were ever to lose access to her medication during a run this quality would likely express itself by Ranger shifting between cycles within the span of a week (at the GM's discretion, of course).
+*SINner National: UCAS citizenship registered to "Alyssa Abbot."
-* Day Job (10 hours/a week - Bouncer): She's tougher than she looks. The shock gloves and pistol under her coat help too.
-* Mentor Spirit: Ranger views Raven as her partner in crime. He's yet to steer her wrong and she doesn't believe he'll ever betray her. Unrelated, but Ranger is also fairly naive.
-* Trust Fund I: Inheritance from her uncle, including a Downtown Seattle apartment and a monthly allowance to cover living expenses.

 ==Matrix Search Table==
-A search for Alyssa Abbot will likely lead to the following:
-* Meticulously crafted social media profiles, typically filled with pictures of her at clubs and nicer restaurants. Notably, none of these pictures feature the car or gear that she uses while on the job.
-* A few articles about her uncle, a retired Urban Brawl player who was killed last year.
-* Entries to architectural competitions, none of which came anywhere close to winning.
-* Some number of school records.
-* The address of her uncle's apartment.
-A search for Ranger, after navigating all the unrelated information associated with the name, will likely lead to the following:
-* References to a small time burglar for hire operating across the NAN and UCAS around 2073.
-* Messages on boards related to criminal activities, primarily concerning on the use and operation of B&E gear, firearms, and armored clothing of all varieties.
-* Trid footage of an elf on the second floor of a museum wearing a dark blue overcoat over a black suit with a custom ballistic mask covering her face; she's clutching a suitcase in one hand and a Remington Suppressor in the other. The figure fires off a burst from her pistol dropping 2 of the guards pursuing her before jumping out of the window. The camera switches to an outside view of the events, revealing that the figure disappears into thin air before ever touching the ground.
