Education:

Military Specialist; Level 5; XP 18,000; 4th born; 5'4"; 163 lbs. ("husky"); complainer, constantly aggravated about something (but also knows when not to say anything, good social skills); middle eastern ancestry (Iraqi father, Irish mother); grew up in New York City to poor blue collar parents; powers manifested in her late teens; 24 years old

Background:

Father was a helicopter pilot for the U.S. Army. When he retired, he opened his own private helicopter company. She learned to fly helicopters working with her father, and she grew up a military brat. She was recruited for special body guard duty and did very well. Her psi powers manifested while she was in the Army but she kept them secret until she mustered out. She enjoys heavy metal and country music, and occasionally will play bass guitar for a garage rock band she knows. She jogs regularly and occasionally lifts weights. She has a crush on Erik Westmore, but is afraid of Armageddon. She thinks of Bluestone and Kwei as "wise old men." She feels James worries too much and is uncomfortable around Price (Dawson doesn't understand how someone could enjoy giving up their humanity and is a little homophobic).

Dawson is a member of the M7 (unofficially, it stands for "Mismatched Seven").  The group works for the U.S. government as part of Project: Lockdown (q.v. Villains Unlimited).

Rifts Notes:

In the constant stress of the Rifts Earth, she has really blossomed. Any doubts she had about herself or her abilities have been completely burned away. She is a bit of a human supremacist, but this doesn't impair her ability to work with - and learn to trust - non-humans. The Coalition reminds her of Hitler and Nazi Germany, and if the rest of the world weren’t worse, she'd oppose the Coalition. She has grown an inch taller, and lost 13 lbs.; she's leaner and meaner than ever. She will rarely be found without a machine pistol, knife, and probably an energy rifle. As before she w asrifted, she doesn't advertise her psionic powers; she conceals them when necessary (but you'd better believe she enjoys the greater powers she has developed!).  Increase her experience points to 23,000.
