Kali
PHYSIOLOGY
1. Sex/Gender: Female
2. Age : 21
3. Height/Weight : 5'5", 150 lbs.
4. Color of Hair/Eyes/Skin: Brown with parts died fuschia/lime green/caramel brown
5. Posture: Loose, relaxed.
6. Appearance (Good-looking, over/underweight, clean, neat, pleasant, untidy; shape of face/head/limbs):
Kali has long thick hair that she likes to keep up in a pony-tail, usually with some going into her face in two thick bangs. At times she likes to put it all back however, except for the constant thin braid that goes from her right temple down. She has a strong nose that has a slight bump along the bridge, a sharp chin and cheekones, and wide, full lips. Though she's short, her weight is higher because her legs are incredibly muscled. She has large breasts and very wide hips, with very thick thighs. She generally has a slightly 'wild' look to her, because of her hair/facial tattoos/piercings, etc.
7. Defects (deformities, abnormalities, birthmarks, diseases): Nothing of consequence.
8. Heredity (inherited traits from character's family): Kali is much more brash than her mother for the most part, but she did inherite her maternal qualities, and tends to be protective of anyone she deems needs her help.
SOCIOLOGY
1. Social Class (lower, middle, upper): Unncessary in the grand scheme of things, as in the village there isn't such class distinctions, but in the city she lives as something of a vagabond, living on whatever money she got from her last trip to the vilage until she can return with another man.
2. Occupation (Type of work, hours of work, income, condition of work, union or non-union, attitude towards organization, suitability for work): Kali is what they call a 'Hunter' in her village, being one of three women who is chosen every seven years to go out and pull what they deem as 'worthy' men off the streets of void and back to the Amazon village for a three-day tryst with any of the women there who want to get pregnant. She is incredibly well-suited to her job, and enjoys it immensely, despite occasional periods of frustration and loneliness.
3. Education (amount, kind of schools, marks, favorite subjects, poorest subjects, aptitudes): Though Kali is a bright young woman, she tends to have a limited attention span for things she doesn't have any particular interest in. She can be extremely dedicated to something she enjoys however, hence her abilities with the bo and consequent selection as a Hunter. In school she did marginally well, tending to coast along with her natural aptitude, doing more poorly in those subjects where she wasn't strongest (any that work with numbers).
4. Home Life (Parents living, earning power, orphan, parents separated or divorced, parents' habits, parents' mental development, parents' vices, neglect, character's marital status): Kali is half-Indian, half..something else. Her father is of no real consequence to her, as the fathers of the amazons never are. Her mother is an incredibly small, stocky woman with a powerful upper-body, as she is one of the village blacksmiths. Her mother is a good woman, and what would be called a 'good mother', but she never offered Kali two parents in the home because she never went actively seeking a partner, being quite shy by nature.
5. Race: Half Indian, half ??
6. Religion and/or Nationality: Her Religion is that of the Amazons, one that basically dictates their tribal life. Praise to the Goddess is part of every day life, and all festivals/dances/events are based around the oldest traditions of their ancestors, in thanks for their village as enabled by their Goddess.
7. Place in Community ('leader among friends', clubs, sports): Kali is generally well-liked, though some of the Amazons feel she should take her job more 'seriously'. As a Hunter she has an indelible status, and will always be remembered as one of the few women who held that position, and as such has brought honour to herself and her mother. When she is retired from the position after a year, she will have to decide what she will do, but she currently is seriously thinking about becoming a weapons trainer or guard.
8. Political affiliations: None.
9. Amusements/Hobbies (books, newspapers, magazines he/she reads, etc.): Kali isn't much of a 'reader', but she does enjoy visual stimulation of any kind. As such she's a huge fan of films, particularly comedies and cartoons. When she's out in the city and away from her friends back in the village, which tend to be her main source of 'amusement', she likes to meet new people, and occasionally cause mischeif.
10. Time Period/Era (social structure and how it pertains to your character): Kali has been for the most part able to avoid the politics and violence happening within the city as of late, but recently she's been growing concerned with the hatred towards furries. In her vilage many of the Amazons have furry heritage or traits, and when she sees any kind of unwarranted persecution she finds it incredibly difficult to not get involved. She's been commaned by her Village elders not to, but as the violence escaldes she finds that increasingly unreasonable.
PSYCHOLOGY
1. Moral Standards: Though she tries to stay 'neutral', Kali is by nature 'Chaotic Good', to use RPG terms. She stands up for what she deems 'right', though that can vary from situation to situation.
2. Personal Premise/Ambition: Wants to do her village justice, and learn as much about the city as she can.
3. Frustrations: Kali is an incredibly social person, and she is constantly wanting to make friends and meet others. Since she only has a 1 year time limit with the city however, she knows that this is rather pointless. Also, Kali is incredibly flirtatious, and since one of the conditions of her status is overall celibacy for that full year, she finds it increasingly difficult to discount her own desires for the men and women she interacts with.
4. Temperament (choleric, easygoing, pessimistic, optimistic, etc.): She is often seen as optimistic to a fault, but with a cynical streak that occasionally rears itself.
5. Attitude toward Life (resigned, militant, defeatist, etc.): Kali enjoys life quite a bit, as all the Amazons are raised to regard it as a blessing and a gift. She enjoys savouring the moment, but this often leads to short-sightedness.
6. Complexes (obesessions, inhibitions, superstitions, phobias, etc.): Kali tends to be too forward with most people, and is overly blunt most of the time. Plus, when she sets her sights on a particular target (a male she desires for the village) she finds it difficult to not persue him to success. She severly dislikes failing at her job.
7. Extrovert? Introvert? Ambivert?: Huge extrovert.
8. Abilities (languages, talents): Kali, like her mother, has a good musical ear and has a penchant for music. She likes to sing, particularly the traditional songs of her village.
9. Qualities (imagination, judgement, taste, poise): Kali has very good instincts, both in battle and in other people. She often knows fairly quickly upon meeting a person whether or not she wants to get to know them better, which helps keep her out of trouble. Kali's tastes tend to run a little on the 'sexier' side of casual, though she always prefers comfort over anything else. She wouldn't judge herself as particularly 'poised', and often finds eleganc difficult to achieve, but thanks to her training holds herself quite well, with a grace she's not quite aware she possesses most of the time.
10. IQ: Just slightly above average.
11. Time Period/Era (periodic ways of thinking, and how it applies to your character): By conventional political standards, quite 'modern', but she still believes in the sincere importance of family.
