Name: Gwen Cooper
Nickname: Gwen
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Straight (mostly)
Age/Birthday: 30/ 13 June 1980
Race: Welsh/Human
Place of Birth/Home Town: Swansea/Cardiff Wales UK
Character Portrayal: Eve Myles
Hair: Dark Brown, fringe, long
Eyes: Dark Brown
Height: 5’6”
Individual Features: Gap in teeth, fair skin with freckles
General Appearance: (Can be a picture if you prefer. Nothing larger than a 500 width)
Family:Parents, Rhys(husband)
Friends: Jack, Owen, Tosh, various Uni friends, Andy
Enemies: not many unless they are aliens and then they are enemies to everyone.
Job: Tactics Specialist, Liaison to the Cardiff Police
Personality: Gwen has a caring helpful attitude, but often jumps into a situation without much thinking and can make the situation worse. She just wants to help, but sometimes doesn't know how. Gwen is brave and daring, as well as clever in most things, but with the very human failing of trying to do too much and not listening to basic common sense when lives are on the line. This gets her in much trouble with coworkers, but her heart is in the right place and as she grows and learns, her confidence and intelligence grows with it.
Likes: (At least 3)Paris, beer, Rhys
Dislikes: (At least 3)Gherkins, polyester, rats
Fears: (At least 2)heights, death
Powers: (If Applicable)None that she knows of
History: (At least 100 words.) Gwen was born on Swansea, was a normal girl and a normal student. She went to college where she met Rhys, joined the police after they moved to Cardiff for Rhys's job, and after a few years there, joined the Torchwood Institute by trial by, um pissing down rain. She has a few commendations for her work on the force, but pretty much stayed in the middle ranks, serving coffee and doing things like background checks and traffic patrols with her partner, Andy. Rhys and Gwen moved into their current flat after saving up some money and a few promotions for Rhys. After several years with Torchwood, and some life changing events that have both haunted her and excited her (including deaths, poisons, aliens as well as human cannibals, and Rhys finding out about her secret life), Rhys and Gwen finally tied the knot and are awaiting their new adventures together.
Random Facts:After descending from a old Cardiff family that lived near the Rift, Gwen’s genetic transference makes her sensitive to fluctuations in the Rift.
RP Sample: (At least 100 words, from any previous roleplay or in character. It's just to gauge your characterisation and general spelling and grammar.)
She started to rummage through the drawers in the desk and started to give instructions.
"Ianto, please start bringing up the rift activity reports on the computer for the time when both the Doctor appeared, and when our esteemed guest here did as well. I’ll bring up the program that Tosh and the Doctor were using to monitor the situation before this all started, right after I find..." Her voice trailed off as she continued to rummage. She needed something to secure John to the chair so he wouldn't escape. She continued to search, and then, bingo...
"Um, Ianto, did it really have to be in the boardroom as well?" Gwen stood up, with her eyebrow raised, a pair of purple fuzzy handcuffs swirling around her finger on one hand and a blue tie dangling from the other hand. She tried not to giggle.
Rules: I have read them and understand the rules.
