Meredith

Character Name: Meredith Lee Tyson

Gender: Female

Age: early twenties

Appearance: A lanky woman in her mid-twenties, bespectacled and sporting a low-grad radiation tan. She is currently applying to get her masters in sociology. Though she knows her thesis is in the arena of the Chinese-American culture prevalent in her home city, she's still gasping for a more concrete topic.

Professional skill: Research, writing.

Martial Skill: Innocent bystander

Conversational skill: Getting people to talk about the icons, objects, and beliefs around them.

Quirk: "I do believe that shruiken is from the Hunan provence..."

Disad: she has a tendency to watch everything around her as if it were a documentary film. "Oh, how -very- interesting. You see the Lo Chin gang members use the traditional five point shruiken, while the Mien Hi use the more westernized six point... Oh, dear, I don't think he'll be able to sew that finger back on..."

History: She comes from a long line of brainiacs. Both parents were psychologists, her father in military intelligence, her mother in family councilling. Meredith was raised not by the book, but by the books. By the age of ten, she could rationalize any act as perfectly fitting for her age, gender make-up, cultural bias, or chemical composition.

Reason your character is in San Francisco: It's where she grew up, but it's also where she received her degree in general psychology and sociology. Now, she roams its streets in search of the paper that will get her into SDU.

Meredith is currently at USF on a scholarship, working on her Master's degree in cultural sociology. She's working on her thesis, doing a lot of foot work.

Unfortunately, her adviser has yet to approve a topic from her for her thesis. He wants original research from her. Apparently Dr. Kroger seems to be holding Meredith to a higher standard than some of his other students.

That... or he's a male chauvinist pig. She hasn't decided yet.
