Name: Amelia Lenaius
Apparent Age: 33
Actual Age: Around 55
Gender: Female
Infected: Yes; Parahuman
Appearance: Amelia stands at 5'7", has stain-glass green eyes, a somewhat curvy build (though she doesn't flaunt it), and unkempt, medium-length mousy brown hair. In fact, she closely resembles Amelia Warner: http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRNg6ypuPFl5fSh7hmDhP4vY8rO8of761GHKpxLkgzJ0KEAGyJ3WA.
Unlike many other vampire victims, she had been bitten just below her left eye. While the bite itself has healed, Amelia has had a tattoo emblazoned onto the side of her face where she had been bitten in the shape of an asymmetrical star of chaos. Even though her hair keeps "resetting" every day/night cycle, she keeps trimming off the part of her left eyebrow that had been torn off during the attack that transformed her into a vampire.
When working or on the hunt, she wears blue jeans, sneakers, a sarcastic t-shirt reading "My soul was removed to make room for all this sarcasm.", a black-and-gray waist-length coat, a long green scarf, and gray gloves. When she's relaxing at home, she wears a set of green-and-blue pajamas. On the rare occasions that she decides to socialize, she wears a black medium-length dress, black slip-ons, and dull blue lipstick. She never wears any jewelry, and she always wears a pair of half-moon glasses.
Skills: Amelia is highly skilled at concealing weapons on her person. She can't hide any kind of rifle or large explosive on her person of course, but she can hide her favorite customized Colt pistol [ http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTDPNX97MPJt6ppqre6FYeNTSEBmSxqd__69MTBfnfo_vjw0uUN8g] which she named "Occultic", and six identical dagger-like knives which she can either throw or fight hand-to-hand with. While she can use and conceal small explosives like grenades on her person, she hates doing so, and won't attempt that unless she doesn't have any other choice. She isn't much stronger than a normal human being, but her hands are incredibly fast and dexterous -her normal reflexive reaction time is three times better than the average human, and if she really pushes herself, she can move her hands so fast that if she times just right, no one can tell if she has moved at all... of course, this only works if no one is paying much attention to her hands, and it can tire her out if she does it too many times in an hour. Because she is so dexterous, she has a knack for climbing buildings very quickly. Her running speed, despite all expectations is no different than that of an average human. However, she can move very quietly when she needs to. Other than that, she is a highly skilled detective.
BIO: Before she was bitten, before anyone was infected with the Virus, she had just made detective for the local police department. Back then she was much more optimistic about her future prospects. Though, as she went along, watching as others took credit for her breakthroughs in critical cases, she grew more and more bitter and sarcastic. Until, she was attacked by a former co-worker who had been infected. The attack that transformed her was the final nail in the coffin that more or less permanently ensured her sarcastic bitterness. She doesn't remember much of her brief time among the Type 1's, but what she does remember still haunts her. She knows that she wasn't responsible for her actions at the time, but she still blames herself for not taking her own life the moment after she killed the vampire that had bitten her. She isn't suicidal, but she doesn't see much point in any of the grander politics emerging around her. All that matters to her now, almost the only thing that keeps her going through the long nights are her cases. As long as she can fool herself, as she sees it, into believing that her work has any meaning and genuinely helps people, she can make it through the days and nights. She has given up on a cure that would make her truly human again, but even so, she occasionally likes to do things she liked to do when she was human... like playing a relaxing game of checkers or going out to a dance club... though she can't quite enjoy her old interests in quite the same ways as she used to. Due to the fact that her attacker was a former colleague, she is highly suspicious of almost anyone who claims to take an interest/liking to her. Even if she gets over her trust issues, she's not really sure where her sexuality lies. Instead of trying to work any of her personal issues out, she ignores them or bottles them up, preferring to solve other people's problems instead, however she can. Though she would never admit it, she likes killing or rather, the hunt... whether its of a dangerous vampire or human, and enjoys drinking blood. She immediately hates herself after drinking another's blood, even if no one was injured or killed as a result of her feeding. While she is currently uninterested in the grander political schemes, her psychologist has predicted that if she were led in by the right person, by someone charismatic enough... she could become intensely passionate and involved in any political faction.
