=='''Character Sheet'''==

'''Character Name:''' Irina Michaela DiSanti<br>	
'''Chronicle:''' Natchez By Night<br>
'''Nature:''' Survivor<br>
'''Demeanor:''' Seeker<br>
'''Concept:''' Private Investigator; retired Homicide Detective of NYPD <br><br>

'''Physical Description:''' 31 years old, Caucasian, brown on brown, 5'-9", and 140 pounds with an athletic build. She's got some muscle tone, even with her health somewhat broken. (see Flaws, below) She prefers comfort over couture but knows how to dress appropriately for the occasion. When attire is not an issue, she prefers trousers over skirts, boots over high heels, and simple shirts over anything froufy or complicated. Jewelry is kept to a minimum: a man's digital/analog watch on her left wrist. Irina wears a gun most days and nights and is licensed to carry concealed, though has gone unarmed as necessary. She has a brisk step and a deliberate way of moving, what some might call a cop walk. As she moves, she pays attention to her surroundings and keeps an eye on people as much as she can.<br><br>

==='''''Merits:'''''===
(cost in points, 17 pts.) <br> <br>

'''''Mental:'''''<br>
'''Common Sense (1 pt):''' Being a Homicide Detective in the NYPD requires it. (Which means Maer will be asking the GM lots of questions so she can fake having some!)<br>
'''Concentration (1 pt):''' When she latches on to a detail or an idea she can keep her mind on it better than most. Helpful for blocking out distractions.<br>
'''Eidetic Memory (2 pts):''' Irina’s memory is extremely good and she can recall things in excruciating detail. It’s best when she’s concentrating, either during recall or memorization of what she observes.<br>
'''Fast Learner (3 pts):''' She’s got a good eye for how things work, how they’re done, and how to do them. She has great recall and retains what she’s read/learned well.<br>
'''Fast Reader (1 pt):''' She reads. A lot.  She’s also fast at it.  Coupled with her Eidetic  Memory and Fast Learner, she gets more out of her reading than most.<br>
'''Internet Savvy (2 pts):''' She uses the internet a lot—research/searches for her job as a Detective and later as a PI. She’s also on the internet a lot because she’s an insomniac.<br>
'''Iron Will (3 pts):''' She’s well beyond stubborn.<br><br>
 
'''''Supernatural:'''''<br>
'''Unbondable (3 pts):''' Must be from having Iron Will.<br><br>
  
'''''Physical:'''''<br>
'''Acute sense (1 pt):''' She’s got acute sense of hearing. Ironic for someone who grew up in a noisy city like NYC, but there you go. Life is full of surprises.<br><br>

==='''''Flaws:'''''===
(cost in points, 17 pts.) <br><br>

'''''Physical:'''''<br>
'''Chronic Illness (4 pts) Migraines:''' They can be debilitating, are due to a head injury, and have lingered on well beyond the injury’s recovery. Sometimes they build up over a span of days before hitting her, making her take extra care in what she does to avoid triggering them. The pain ranges from merely painful to debilitating—laying her flat out. They are triggered by irregular means: sometimes it’s stress, or caffeine, or loud noise, or lack of sleep, or …. They occur at irregular times: sometimes without warning or sometimes with warning; sometimes they are frequent and sometimes she goes for months before suffering another one. They last for irregular lengths of time:sometimes they last mere minutes, others for hours or days. They are predictably unpredictable. The doctors now think they are psycho-somatic and have recommended psychiatric treatment. Irina has so far refused to entertain the idea.<br>
'''''(Die penalties: Irina must sleep for 10 hours to allow a migraine to pass or suffer a -3 die penalty to her dice pool and raise her target numbers by 2. The penalties remain in effect until Irina gets the requisite 10 hours of sleep.)'''''<br>
'''Broken Health (3 pts):''' Due to the insomnia and the migraines, Irina isn’t at the top of her game. Her stamina is not what it once was and any sport or activity that’s percussive on the body—running/jogging, sparring, boxing, brawling, sometimes even loud noises like firing her gun—has a chance to trigger a migraine.<br>
'''Insomniac (2 pts):''' Memories of her captivity and beating make it hard for her to sleep. She’s a night owl as a result, and spends the time reading and learning and trawling on the internet.<br><br>

'''''Mental:'''''<br>
'''Nightmares (1 pt):''' She has nightmares. Not quite PTSD. But they do interrupt her sleep.<br><br>

'''''Social:'''''<br>
'''Enemy (3 pts):''' She pissed someone off when she was on the force. Not sure who.  The people who captured her may or may not be connected to any case she was working on that she can verify, but that doesn’t preclude criminal parties trading favors against a particularly annoying LEO.<br>
'''Hunted (4 pts):''' As a consequence of her time on the force, she might also have people hunting her. She put a lot of people away when she was a detective.
