<strong>Name:</strong>Mathilde, then Mathew, Now goes by the name Half Now, du to the fact when taking a job she always takes half the payment first.<br/><strong>Race/Species:</strong>Human<br/><strong>Gender:</strong>Female<br/><strong>Sexuality:</strong>Mostly Heterosexual,<br/><strong>Appearance:</strong>Matty’ was likely once a relatively attractive girl, though not stunning or beautiful she might have been considered a fine catch. However now, her once long hair is cropped short almost to the point of being shorn, and was likely performed by herself with the use of a dagger. It is this way for practical reasons.<br/><br/>A scar pulls at her left eye and travels down her face to the side of her mouth giving her the appearance of a permanent sneer. A knotted scar stats and the back of her head and snakes down her neck and onto her back, it looks like it should have killed her. Also her body is a map work of various scars, some from various punishments; she was certainly no stranger to the lash.<br/><em><br/>Sigourney Weaver in Aliens 3 look works best I think.</em><br/><br/><strong>Brief History: </strong>Matty was born to a very minor noble family, who through no fault of there own became caught up in petty politics and minor squabbles which ended up in war and her family loosing everything. Thus with what was left of her inheritance (A few pieces of paste jewelry) there were two choices a whore or flattening down her chest and joining up. The latter seemed a better option.<br/><br/>The army was no picnic, and she saw too many good young men die because of stupidity, and in time though her skills improved her attitude worsened. Punching some young strip of an officer out was the finish of it really and she was lucky enough to escape the rope, through the machinations of a few of her squad.<br/><br/>Since then she has become a mercenary, she still has some scruples on that front, and thus far her code of honour has kept her sane and from turning to the dark side completely.<br/><br/>Working in the seedier side of society has kept her in booze and smokes, and alive but only just.<br/><br/><strong>Physical Edge:</strong>Matty has the constitution of an ox and can take more blows than most men could. Physically she is relatively fast and a little above average strength<br/><br/><strong>Physical Weak Point:</strong>Her depth perception is flawed due to the injury to her left eye. So her ranged attacks are often off target, thus she rarely fights this way.<br/><strong>Social/Mental Edge:</strong>Mentally Matty is mostly practical, and has a wide range of life skills, when she can be arsed to use them. She is a survivor. And has the wherewith all to use her knowledge’s for this. For all her faults Matty has a pretty good repertoire of songs and tales, though a lot are not really ones that should be used in polite company.<br/><strong>Social/Mental Weak Point:</strong>She has the social graces of a traffic accident; she is ornery, drinks too much, farts and burps, curses and more often than not does not smell to good. The woman is insubordinate to her ‘betters’. Her brain is not yet addled by booze but it likely it might not be too long, that is if she does not get herself killed first.<br/><strong>Magical Theme (If Any): </strong>The woman is  distrustful of magic, even if its beneficial, and can be superstitious, ie saluting a magpie and counting to ten if it is solitary, always keeping two coppers in her pocket to pay the ferry man.<br/><br/>Though it is not magic per say she has a sort of innate ‘danger sense’. Most likely its just she is alert and in her time on the army she performed a number of covert missions.<br/><br/><strong>Special Weaknesses (If Any):</strong>Might be classed as a weakness, for all her brashness Matty has a strange code, again from the army. She won’t leave a man behind. Being an alcoholic albeit a functioning on can be an issue.<br/><strong>Preferred Fighting Style:</strong>Dirty Fighting is likely what one would call it, she has little style but is extremely effective. She is also a sneaky fighter, not the grace of an assassin, but usually as efficient.<br/>
