Overview and Backstory:

Nadezhda (nah-DYEZH-dah) is not a mercenary and does not act on behalf of any governmental organization, but given the places she goes and the people she kills, nobody's complaining about her numerous high-profile assassinations of human- and other sapient life-traffickers, save perhaps the individuals left behind to clean up her mess.

Born in Romania, 'Nade' (nah-day) never had the gift of a pleasant childhood. Both she and her mother were sold into slavery to pay off her alcoholic fathers' gambling debts: she was 9 at the time, but her pimp didn't even wait for her breasts to bud before putting her to work.

Three years later, her mother attempted to kill Nade and herself with rat poison, but gave her daughter such a large dose the girl threw it back up and survived, leaving her completely alone. It was only the intervention of a paramilitary human rights group six months after that that kept Nadezhda's story from falling into depressing obscurity.
When she saw what was happening, the traumatized child took a shard of glass and tore her pimp apart, nearly destroying her own hands in the process. Those who found her reported hearing her screaming mad threats at the bloody pulp she straddled.

It didn't take much to convince her to join the group, and after years of mental and physical therapy, her prowess as a sharpshooter began to present itself. At age 16 she made her first premeditated kill, incidentally using the PSL rifle she uses to this day.

Now 22, Nadezhda operates with her group only providing her intelligence rather than performing any joint operations. This arrangement allows her to operate more efficiently and keep her group from coming under the gaze of the worst criminals.

Role-Playing Possibilities:

Basically, I thought it'd be fun to pit my writing abilities against others for a fun, combat and intrigue-centered RP. My fellow RPer could play a slaver, a temporary partner for an operation, or perhaps simply a friend/lover to Nadezhda. She is extremely cold to almost everyone, but a select few individuals get to see her vulnerability, and perhaps could help her if not move on from assassination then at least provide her some temporary comfort or stability in life.

It is important to know from the outset that I don't expect Nade to win every single time, though I'm not going to stop using this profile just because one person manages to make a slave out of her/kills her.

Technical Considerations:

Since RPs involving Nade are likely to involve combat, possibly between our characters, it would be prudent to include dice-rolling to figure out what damage is dealt, when someone is hit etc.
If we decide to do an RP like this, we should both discuss what kind of dice rolls we'll be doing to avoid confusion and keep fights reasonably fair.
For example, Nadezhda may take a shot (or two) at a character behind cover who is wearing armor. She might hit on a 2-6 in ideal conditions, but strong cover grants a 3+ cover save, meaning she now only hits on 5 and 6, and the 'to wound' roll would still need to be resolved, which could take into account a characters' 'toughness' or natural resistance to wounding plus an armor save. If the character being fired upon has a toughness of 2 and a +2 armor save, he/she would only be wounded on a 5 or 6.
And then we'd still need to decide in advance how many wounds a character could take before being incapacitated/killed.
These stats are based on WH40K, so they might not work well for 1 on 1 engagements. Alternative suggestions would be appreciated.
