Favor Total: 110
ARM: 4+S / MUT: 2 / ENH: 0 / CON: 1
Total Body integrity: 22/22
AP: 11/11

HEAD: 5/5
-Impure Thoughts: [Auto/N/S] Maximum Action Points +2. = Hardly a beacon of purity, but that's normal.  But I guess my brain sometimes gets halfway cooked with madness.
-Playful Eyes: [Auto/N/S] Maximum Action Points +1. = It's a bit of a pain, being the only one with normal vision, but I still like my eyes how they are.
-Cocky Grin: [Action/2/0] Unarmed 1. = Maybe I should keep my mouth shut rather than speaking my mind, sometimes...
-Gun Fu: [Auto/N/S] Maximum Action Points +1. = Equilibrium is a classic movie.
-Four's Teeth: [Auto/N/S] Treasure. = Hope they won't want these back.  But they're welcome to 'em if they do.

ARMS: 8/8
--Pitching Arm: [Check/1/0] Support 1. = Fastball or curveball, whatever works.
--Extra Arms: [Rapid/0/S] You may perform one Action Maneuver of your choice as if its timing were Rapid. = I'm even better at multitasking, now, but modifying shirts is a pain in the ass.
-Shoot the Bullet: [Damage/2/0~1] Defend 1. The target may choose to have the Attack hit an adjacent Location. This may be used any number of times per Round, but only once per Attack. = You're asking why I took the time to acclimate to shooting down attacks instead of something more practical?  Maybe I like asserting dominance on shitters.
-Monkey Steals Peach: [Action/2/0] Unarmed 1. = I can certainly disable an attacker, but it's rare that I have to hit someone directly.
-"Ow My Legs": [Action/4/S] Move 1. = I can only lose so much of my body and still fight, but having to crawl or ask someone to carry me is humiliating.
-Law and Order: [Action/3/0~1] Shooting 2 + Chain 1. = 9x19 PR is a fine cartridge, fuck the haters.
-Soon-to-be-Dead Gun: [Action/3/1~2] Shooting 1 + Explosive + Area. = Eight barrels of fun, more than enough to kill anything that moves!  Certainly anything alive, anyway.
-GameBoy: [Auto/N/S] Treasure. = I know it's dated, but it's been in my family for generations.  And at least it's in color.  Unfortunately, civilian-grade Nintendium isn't quite sturdy enough to shrug off a bullet.

TORSO: 6/6
--Frag Grenade: [Action/2/0~1] Blast 2 + Area, -1 to Attack Check. This Maneuver may be used only once per Round. = Obviously not the preferred option for detaining normals, but it certainly helps to keep a couple on hand for mopping up groups of hostiles.
-Impatiently Waiting: [Action/1/S] One Maneuver you use on the next Count during this Turn has its Cost reduced by 1 (to a minimum of 0.) Stacks if used repeatedly. Discount may be divided totally arbitrarily. = "Hurry up and wait" is the worst part of any assignment.  Always makes me a bit twitchy with anxiety.
-Huge Guts: [Auto/N/S] No Effect. = Metaphorically huge, though I guess a few organs are bigger than normal.  I get plenty of exercise to offset my diet.
-Full of Candy: [Auto/N/S] No Effect. = Emergency rations to keep me from getting tired or jittery.  Unlike my smaller body, this one can handle way more sugar without secreting it in sweat.  Which is good, since it's not like I'm in a relationship where that'd be a positive.
-Pulse-Pounding Rhythm: [Auto/N/S] Maximum Action Points +1. = An enlarged heart for enhanced blood flow.  I find it helps the most if I've got the right music hyping me up during shootouts.  Even if it's only in one ear so I can still hear our comms.
-First Aid Kit: [Auto/N/S] At the end of a Battle, if this Part is not damaged, you may choose 3 Basic Parts belonging to your Sisters other than yourself to regenerate.  Provides additional emergency treatment for Normals. = Char alone isn't always able to treat every injury, let alone quickly.  And sure, maybe I always felt sick not being able to help whenever she went about treating normal people's injuries.

LEGS: 3/3
--"Don't Trip, Now": [Check/1/0] Hinder 1. = Or do.  It'll be funny.
-Thicc Thighs: [Action/3/S] Move 1. = It's more work than you'd think, maintaining the right balance between useful muscle and good-looking squish.
-Run n' Gun: [Action/3/S] Move 1. = I don't always have to blast-jump everywhere.  I do plenty of running in baseball, anyway.

SKILLS: 12+S

--Impulse: [Auto/*/S] Once per Round, when you declare a Maneuver, instead of paying the normal Cost for the Maneuver, you may instead add a Madness Point to a Fetter of your choice as the Cost.
--Carnage: [Check/*/S] Support 3. As the Cost of this Maneuver, add a Madness Point to a Fetter of your choice.
--Gun Kata: [Check/2/0~1] Hinder 2. Afterwards, you may make a Shooting Attack 1 against the same target.
--Fury: [Damage/*/S] Add +2 to the damage dealt. As the Cost of this Maneuver, add a Madness Point to a Fetter of your choice
-Landmine: [Action/2/0] Place a land mine in the target zone. When a character moves into or out of that zone, you may choose to activate the mine, dealing Blast 2 with a check result of 7 and applying a Hinder Move. Activating the mine costs 0 AP.
-Rocket Jump: [Action/1/S] Move 1-3. Make a Blast Attack 2 at yourself that has an automatic result of 7.
-Careful Placement: [Auto/N/S] You must declare this Maneuver before rolling the Attack Check. When using the 'Area' property, a successful roll will only hit enemies while a failure will hit a single Sister in the zone (Critical Failures hit all Sisters); Your Attacks do not gain increased damage from Critical Successes while this is in effect.
-Drama of Death (S): [Auto/N/S] During the Battle Phase, if you use an Attack Maneuver on a target that another Sister has successfully targeted and performed an Attack Check on in this Count, you may gain +1 on the die roll of your Attack Check and add +1 damage against the same target. Your Sister must perform their Attack first.
-Gun God: [Auto/N/S] You may add +1 to the die roll on Attack Checks of Shooting Attack Maneuvers.
-Lullaby: [Auto/N/S] During the Battle Phase, you may take a penalty of -1 to the Attack Check of a Shooting Attack Maneuver. If you do, the Cost of the Maneuver is decreased by -1 (to a minimum of 1).
-Specialist: [Auto/N/S] When you acquire this Skill, acquire another Skill from a Class you do not belong to. Special Skills, Enforcer or Psychedelic Skills are not eligible. (Drama of Death)
-Trigger Happy: [Auto/N/S] Once per Count, when dealing 5 or greater damage via a Shooting Attack Maneuver, you may remove 1 Madness Point from a Fetter of your choosing. This effect ignores your Fragments of Memory madness removal limit.
-Well-Armed: [Special/N/S] When you learn this Skill, you may acquire an additional Tier 3 Armament. This is not limited by your Reinforcement Points and you may regenerate it normally.

XOOO - Treasure: Dependent = I started collecting vintage videogames and systems when Leo and I got a pair of old Gameboy bricks for our tenth birthdays.  They're a family heirloom, passed down over more than eighty years.  Obviously, the handheld and its cartridges are a total Ship of Theseus that's seen a fair few hardware replacements and upgrades over the years, but it's ultimately still a vintage system.
OOOO - Julia: Hateful = She's half the reason I made it through boot and the only reason I got into our squad.  I'm grateful.  But at the same time, I'll never forgive her!  She's hurt me more than anyone else ever has and only finally opened up to me when circumstances forced her to.  What the hell WAS I to her?  Certainly not a best friend!
XXXO - Damara: Protective = We've always had our differences due to how we handle our feelings, but they're not as irreconcilable as I thought.  I trust her completely and there's no one better to admit my doubts to.  All the same, she's too pure and innocent for her own good and it's all too easy for her to be hurt.  I wouldn't hesitate to crush anyone who tries to hurt my little sis, even her own mother.
XXOO - Charlotte: Attached = We go through plenty of rough patches and we tend to bicker a lot, yet she's also the one I spend the most time with.  She's had to grow up fast and considers herself an adult, but I'm not really sure how maturely to treat her and I keep causing this weird, awkward air between us.  On top of that, she's always been holding something back.  Surely she doesn't actually... have feelings for me of all people... right?  WRONG!  How the fuck do I respond to her if she forces the issue?
XXXO - Mason: Possessive = Don't get me wrong, he's good looking and he'd probably be a good fuck.  But I can't.  Setting aside matters of age, he's boring and it'd never last.  More to the point, I don't want to make things too weird between us and fuck up our squad dynamic more than I already have.  I worry about him, sometimes.
