[hider=Dawn Memoli]Name: Dawn Evelyn Memoli Nickname: N/A, although she occasionally goes by an alias during her work. Age: 162 (physically in her early twenties) Gender: Female Species: Vampire Powers/skills: As a vampire, Dawn is inherently gifted with heightened speed, strength, and durability. She is also skilled in the use of firearms, and, while she prefers not to rely on it due to her natural frailty, can fend her own in hand-to-hand combat. Weakness(es): Dawn's skin is sensitive to sunlight, and grows irritated before burning outright if directly exposed to the sun's rays. If she forgoes feeding for too long, she will eventually be driven mad by bestial hunger. Dawn is also a bit frailer than some of her species, forcing her to rely more on speed and wit than brute force against more supernatural foes. Personality: By nature, Dawn is a gentle, albeit somewhat somber person by nature. She is soft spoken and polite towards strangers and friends alike, and makes an effort to grant a level of respect to most if possible. However, while friendly and slower to anger than some, she is not necessarily a yes-woman- oftentimes, when made annoyed by someone or a situation, her irritation will manifest itself as a dry sort of humor and a somewhat snarky commentary. This humor tends to be present regardless, however. When genuinely angered, Dawn grows calm to the point of frigidity, becoming vengeful and keeping her grudges close at hand- although this is uncommon. History(optional): Dawn was born both as human and vampire roughly sometime in the late 1800s, a turbulent, but incredibly expansive time. Her days as a human were uneventful, being a daughter among several in a working family. It was only one day, when she was dragged into an alley, had her throat bitten out, and was made to bury herself under several burlap sacks to avoid the light that her life showed any meaningful change. She spent many bloody decades learning how to cope with her affliction before eventually settling back into humanity, getting an education once women had the full opportunity to do so. Work came later, as a private investigator for the supernatural community. A taxing job at times, but one she wouldn't dream of quitting. Other: Keeps a gun and ammo on her at all times, and refuses to feed on anything other than blood bags for personal reasons. Appearance(s): [img]http://fotos.fotoflexer.com/65c0e40afedaf5449300c2b9d75047b6.jpg[/img] Clocking in at roughly 4 foot 9 inches in boots, and without much muscle mass to speak of, Dawn isn’t exactly the most imposing figure around. Her face is soft and open, with ash-grey eyes and light skin. Her hair is black and thick, and Dawn has grown it to her hips- although, as a result, she has developed a habit of styling it in a side plait to keep it out of the way most of the time. Dawn usually tries to “dress to impress”, donning skirts, cardigans and flats to work and throughout everyday life. Winter sees her swapping to a modest sweater and slacks, and warm seasons have her lose the cardigan entirely. In more casual settings, she'll don a pair of jeans and a skirt. When going about in the daylight, Dawn wears a wide brimmed sunhat. Likes: Cookies and cream ice cream, jazz, movies, campy crime and police TV shows, well furnished rooms, rainy days, nighttime, cheesy romance novels. Dislikes: Any kind of smoke, unnecessary cruelty, loud noises, injustice, being made to feed directly on humans, fire, too bright light. Romantic interest: None. Last rule: Have fun! Current Location: Room of Blood. [/hider]
