"The Prompt: Hello, my name is . . .
The Goal: Introduce us to your character superficially. Give us the basic stats: name, age, hair color, eye color, where he/she is from, profession, any defining physical characteristics, etc. The basics. You can do this in list form if you'd like.
The Catch: No catch, just go at it."

Age: 33
Hair color: Natural ash blonde, but she dyes it jet black
Eye color: Polish blue
From: South side of Chicago, the FAR South side
Profession: Private Investigator
Defining Physical Characteristics: legs that won't quit. Sharp right hook. Sharper tongue. Killer application of cheap lipstick. Tattoo in a place that not many ever get to see. Impressive swagger. Mole on her left nasolabial fold--the reason for her hated first name.
"Bimbo or not", Gams says, "Who wants to be named for some dame whose claim to fame was looking vacant and dying young?"
