Athena

Race/Nationality
Caucasian/American
Occupation
ex-U.S.S., freelance mercenary

Rifles, pistols
———————————✘Appearance Information✘———————————
Hair Color and Style
Darker blonde hair that reaches down past her shoulders. Usually it flips out, her bangs long enough to frame her face. Alma usually keeps it loose though she does keep a few hair ties around her wrist in case it needs to be pulled back out of the way.
Eyes
Piercing gray eyes.
Skin Tone and Complexion
She's a fair-skinned woman who can easily burn before any sort of a tan sets in. Because of this she hates sitting out in the broad sun for too long without the option to slip away into shadow or back inside.
Height, Weight, Figure
Standing at about five feet six inches she has a healthy weight to her with high cheekbones to her face. She thinks her chest size is a little small for her height and weight, however due to the training she undergoes to keep in shape for her mercenary work it's something she's come to terms with.
Clothing Style
Alma tends to wear practical clothes, if only because of her job as a mercenary. She tends to favor warm and neutral colors in her wardrobe. She has a tendency to wear her clothes for years before they are too worn to be of much use anymore as well.
Scars, Tattoos and Piercings
No noticeable scars, piercings or tattoos to date.
———————————✘Personality Information✘———————————
Indifferent to most things, Alma finds it difficult to get excited or motivated about much. Because of this she can be rather reckless with her own well-being and health for cheap thrills and adrenaline rushes. Despite anything she may think or feel she does do her best to keep any allies she has safe and alive. Alma has a bit of a temper, though she has a tendency to withdraw and shut down when it gets down to it. She is not afraid to speak her mind, however, which often gets her into trouble. She can be quite sarcastic more times than not. She detests being told what to do and quite often merely does whatever she feels like, if the leash she’s on is slack enough or a loop hole can be found.
Despite all of this Alma is rather serious. Though she likes to mess with people from time to time it is not a constant. Alma is a prideful woman and hates to ask others for help. Instead she will continue again and again until she produces the desired results or fail in trying. Tough as she is on the outside she is not without a more vulnerable side, hidden away from others.
Likes
She rather likes reading horror and thriller books or watching movies of the same nature. Alma tends to indulge in thrill-seeking activities, looking for a rush of adrenaline in her life. She also enjoys having some quite time to herself, going for a walk from time to time.
Dislikes
Alma hates being around people with overbearing personalities and will do her best to avoid them to spare herself the headache. She also gets a little anxious while driving in busy cities and tends to avoid doing this as well, instead preferring to take back roads if she can or having someone else drive entirely.
Talents
Any talents Alma has she doesn't typically indulge in often anymore.
Shortcomings
Because she is indifferent to most things a lot of things don't get to her as they should, making her either slow or unwilling to act. This can often work in favor to others though Alma tries not to let it be used against her often. Likewise her 'exit' strategy in conflict that leads her to lose her temper entirely makes it difficult to hash things out with her and solve intimate problems. Being a shut-in for the most part she also doesn't seem to have a desire to better her communication skills as is. When she needs to ask for help she will stubbornly refuse even at the expense of herself. If anything her pride is quite a burden.

———————————✘Biographical Information✘———————————
History
Growing up Alma had trouble trying to find and pick a career path to focus on. She had little self-discipline at the time and grew up poor, restricting much of what she could do that required money. As such she did not get to participate in any martial arts as she had wished. Entertaining the idea of military service at some point in her high school years the idea was quickly discarded at the idea of the strict rules and authority figures above her that she would have to deal with. As such, yearning for something to give her the adrenaline rushes she needed, Alma jumped at the chance to be trained and work as an Umbrella Security Service member.
Come the incident in Raccoon City, Alma’s team ended up separated. One by one they succumbed to the mutations that arose, leaving only Alma. Left for dead by management Alma managed to make her way out of the city before it was nuked, alone and injured. She survived by exploiting the system, credit card and ID frauds being used frequently. She took on odd jobs under the radar as a mercenary to keep herself alive and living in a life that left her fulfilling her daredevil tendencies. | |
