Description:

Trinity is a lean athletic woman. Her short dark hair is often worn slicked back and tucked behind her ears. She has large,  piercing blue eyes, and is constantly scanning her surroundings for trouble. She moves with the pantherine grace of a professional martial artist. Trinity dresses in tight black vinyl and leather when she's working. She also wears sunglasses nearly all the time. They have a HUD that connects her to the real world when she's in the Matrix. In the real world, they're a useful low-light vision system and clock.

Trinity rarely is without an abundance of guns, and doesn't belive in reloading during combat. She throws down her empty weapons and pulls her next set of guns. After all, where she trained, guns were free. She's also a compent combat driver, although she's more familiar with motorcycles, helicopters and hovercraft than cars.

She is professional, dedicated, businesslike. She's not prone to outbursts and can be very patient. Very serious. She does have a more delicate, vulnerable side, but is very unlikely to display it to anyone but her closest friends. Extremely loyal to her comrades. She's more than a little paranoid.

Trinity has ugly metal plugs in the back of her head, and one in her left arm. She has scars along her arms, spine and abdomen where some of her sockets were removed when she was freed from the Matrix. Her hair covers the socket in the back of her head, and she often wears a long leather glove on her left arm or long sleeves, or a band to cover the socket on her left arm.

Melodramatic hook:

Short story:

Trinity ended up in the Netherworld searching for Morpheus and Neo. She must find them again.

Long story:

Morpheus and Neo disappeared into the Netherworld after a particularly bad battle with several agents. During the course of this battle, Neo discovered the real reason that the machines were keeping humans alive, and of the Shadow Wars.

Trinity would do anything to find her mentor and the man she loves. This might include endangering her current allies. She fears Neo and Morpheus are dead. If she determines that they are dead, she will do anything to avenge them.

Trinity's personal quest is to cause a critical shift in the present juncture that prevents the Architects from taking over in the 21st century. She figures if she can derail the Architects before 2217 then all the human misery of the 22nd and 23rd centuries will never have taken place. She's also against any form of over-dependence on machines or mind control. This is why she has trained herself to be a deadly weapon and rarely drinks.

How this is useful to the GM:

• If she sees someone that looks like Morpheus or Neo (or any of her cohorts from 2217 - like Tank) she'll run after them. This of course may lead her down a blind alley full of bad guys or something else equally unpleasant.

• If she stumbles over a Buro operative, she'll want to take some time alone with him to get more information about what the Buro is doing in 1999. If she stumbles over an idea that looks like it will really hurt the Buro, she will push the party into doing whatever it takes to make this idea come to fruition.

• If someone offers her information about Morpheus or Neo, she'll give them what they want in order to get the information. Of course, information about Morpheus or Neo would have to come from Matrix agents in 2217... or someone who could read her mind via the influence shtick... or someone who's spent a lot of time working the situation over with a divination shtick... or maybe from an elite intelligence agent from the Buro...
