IC info/about
Allison Sharpe was born in Atlanta, Georgia in 1979. She grew up poor and enlisted in the US Marine Corps at age 18. In 2008, half her squad was killed in an ambush. She was badly injured and sent home with a medical discharge.
Allie and another survivor recovered enough to work in private security together. A few years later they married. In 2017 he passed away under strange circumstances. Deeply shaken, Allie sold their joint property and hit the road.
Those are the mundane facts.
The couple had their first brush with the supernatural while working an under-the-table bodyguard job gone wrong. Both of them had a moment of realization: he took the path of a Visionary, while she became a Judge. They hunted together until a vampire who'd escaped them came back for revenge. Allie managed to get away, albeit ghouled. Her husband didn't survive.
These days, Allie hunts for pay - cash, vitae, or both. She'll help mages clear out hauntings or firebomb the haven of a vampire's hated rival. Whatever puts food on the table and gas in the tank.
OOC info/about
Boracyk: Mando'a word meaning penniless. Literal translation: between jobs. Pronounciation: boh-RAH-seek
Allie's sheet is built using the 1999 edition of Hunter: the Reckoning, with a few interpretive liberties taken in regards to being ghouled.
Despite being Imbued, she is not immediately hostile towards supernatural beings. In fact, since most of her hunts are paid contract jobs, she's just as happy to take cash from Kindred as from humans. Related to that: stupid as it may be for me to make a hunter character when I dislike the Second Inquisition and other updated hunter organizations... I dislike the SI and other updated hunter organizations. The vibes don't work for what I prefer to play. Therefore, Allie is not affiliated with any church or government-sanctioned agency.
That said, I want to stress that I do not want anyone to feel bad for what they do enjoy playing. My yuck does not negate your yum and I'm not bothered by characters who are SI. I generally avoid characters with strong Christian themes regardless of affiliation, due to unrelated personal reasons.
One last note: I don't actually know much about the US military structure, nor do I intend to change that. Screw 'em.
Rules/PSAs:
Don't be an asshole out of character.
No minor muns/writers. Child characters are mostly okay but unless we already know each other, I'd prefer an OOC message before interacting.
There are going to be a lot of firearms, discussions of addiction, unhealthy coping skills, and toxic masculinity. I'll try to tag any especially deep discussion of these as #heavyposting but since they're major themes for this character, follow at your discretion. Sexual content shouldn't be particularly explicit; anything beyond PG-13 will be tagged #zesty.
When reblogging ask games from me, please send one in. If our characters don't know each other well enough or you can't think of anything, reblog from the post source instead. It feels crappy to be used as a resource mine without getting any other engagement, you know?
