Name:  Iris Hunter<br/>Template: Pure Mortal<br/>High Concept:  Hunter from a long line of Hunters<br/>Trouble:  Who's the monster here?<br/><strong><br/>Background: </strong>Iris' family was a very wealthy line that came from British nobility.  Borne in England, they moved to Australia when Iris was young, due to her father's love of big game hunting.  He would often go on safaris to southeast Asia or Africa, bringing his daughter along.  Iris was not very respected by her father while young- he had wanted a son, and her mother had died during childbirth, leaving him with Iris as his sole descendant.  At best, he considered her as his princess to pamper.  (which she hated, being a bit of a tomboy.)  At worst, she was weak and a nuisance.<br/><br/>She managed to earn his respect one day, though, when they were on a hunting trip to India. She was 12 at the time.  They were staying in a small villiage in the jungle, and her father was hunting for a tiger pelt.  (Illigally, of course.)  After a week of no luck in even finding a trail, Iris spoke to a few of the children in town, who said that a nearby villiage had spotted one not long ago, wandering into the village and killing livestock.  She paid one of the children to be her guide, and stole her father's rifle.  With a stroke of pure luck, she spotted and killed the tiger as it was making away with a calf.  The whole village went into an uproar about the young woman.  When her father found out, he was more upset than anything else, but it slowly blossomed into pride for his daughter.<br/><br/><strong>Phase Aspect:</strong>Everyone respects violence<br/><strong><br/>What shaped you?  </strong>When Iris was 16, her father was killed before her eyes by the 'company' he'd hired for the night.  It was common for him to have ‘private nights’, but she'd been unaware that he was going to be with a woman that night, and stumbled into the room.  The woman he'd been with was a white court vampire, who'd not been expecting company...she’d been in the middle of feeding, and the startled sounds of someone behind her frightened the vampire, causing her to quickly finish her meal, more deeply than she should have.  Mr. Hunter died with a smile on his face.  The terrified girl ran for her life, knowing she'd just witnessed something supernatural.<br/><br/>Later, she cursed her own weakness, wondering why she didn’t do something to stop what she’d seen.  She started to push herself to be more like the ideal hunter she had in mind.  She began training herself viciously, attempting to master the art that her father seemed so obsessed with.  She also stared tracking the WCV that had killed her father.<br/><strong><br/>Phase Aspect:</strong>Stone Cold Bitch<br/><br/><strong>What was your first adventure?  </strong><br/>When her father is killed by a white court vampire, Iris works hard to find his killer and avenge the only family she ever had.  But will she succeed when an entire house of vampires stands with her target?<br/><br/>Iris spent months tracking her father's killer, a white court vampire named Tanja Lilien, of house Lilien, a line of white court vampires that feed on lust.  She found their family's estate and broke in, but was discovered before she could make the kill.   Iris was captured, and probably would have been executed if not rescued by… (Someone can jump in here, if you like)  As they escaped, she was stopped by Tanja, and the two women exchanged bitter words before a savage, bestial fight that left Iris with an eye patch and a scar along one cheek.  Her father, however, had been avenged.<br/><br/><strong>Story title:</strong>Eye for an Eye<br/>Guest Staring:  (haven't thought of anyone in particular yet.)<br/>Also Guest Staring:<br/><br/><strong>Skills</strong>- 30 points<br/>Great (+4):  Guns, Athletics<br/>Good (+3):  Endurance, Stealth, Survival<br/>Fair (+2):  Alertness, contacts, weapons, Lore<br/>Average (+1):  Fists, conviction, Burglary, Deceit, Resources<br/><br/><strong>Stunts</strong>: 10 Refresh (+2 for pure mortal)<br/>-1 Mighty leap (-2 to jump difficulties)<br/>-1 Get back (+2 to weapon attacks when in close combat/wrestling?  Let me know if that works for you.)<br/>-1 Resilient self image (+2 mild mental consequences)<br/>-1 Do you feel lucky?  (1 fate point, +3 damage on a firearms attack, once per scene)<br/>-1 Hunter (+2 to efforts to track outdoors.)<br/><br/>I think I’m only going to go with 5 points of stunts, for now.  If I think of anything else I think she’d have, I’ll update it.  (I might want her to have more physical consequences but I’m not sure.)<br/><br/><br/>Archivist, I think Iris would fit for your first story as a guest star. Like you said, a rival hunter or temporary allies.  There's some good potential for tension when their methods differ greatly.  :)
