Description: Captain Ellis is a Korean woman who stands 5'1" with long black hair and green eyes. Adopted by a US Army officer, she was raised an "army brat" and shows little interest in her Asian origins. She is a committed police officer and is very honest in operations, observing the proper legalities and not allowing any one to cross the line. She is a workaholic, smokes constantly (and coughs because of it), drinks coffee like it was water, studies kenpo karate, is an excellent shot, and was wounded in the line of duty. Her precinct is popularly called "Fort Freak" and Ellis has to live with the knowledge that the previous two precinct captains were both murdered (and that one was an flunky of the Astronomer).

Campaign Use and Designer’s Notes: I’ve used Angela Ellis in two of my games (Silent Möbius Zeta and the Phenomena Department) because something about her description (and character sheet) just “clicks” with me. She makes an excellent Dark Champions experienced cop (as well as a good “Gordon” to a PC’s “Batman”), and at 162 points is pushing high-end heroic, low-end super heroic. You could easily adapt her to most modern, near future, and even far-future settings, just make the proper changes to her origin, skills and martial arts.
