A p p e a r a n c e
Jeans • Tan • Muscular • Dark-haired • Tomboy(ish)!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eva Martinez stands at about 5'6'' (5'8'' in heels). She may be a little thin, but there's some definite muscle underneath that tanned skin of hers. Her dark brown hair's no longer than past her shoulders, usually pulled back in a ponytail or loose braid. On rare occasions, her hair is down and flying in the breeze. A tomboy at heart, Eva is most comfortable wearing a pair of jeans and a simple T-shirt or tank top. Not much of a girly girl, unless for very rare occasions. Be sure to have a camera handy! Don't let her catch you, though. You might not see your camera again, if she gets her hands on it.
She has an anchor tattoo on her right hip, in memory of her first love and closest friend. You can see his initials written on the right side of the anchor. She has both of her ears pierced. Nothing else. Eva isn't into having multiple piercings upon her body, especially given her profession as a cop. Same for multiple tattoos. Near her collarbone, she has a bit of a scar. Painful reminder for her, since it relates to her stalking issue from her college days. Her most prized possession is a ring, currently residing on a chain. An engagement ring, if you must know. She tends to go for more earthy kind of colors. You'll never catch her in pink, ever.

Stubborn • Loner • Smart • Artistic • Kind-hearted!

Eva Martinez isn't much of a chatterbox, it doesn't matter if she's around people or alone. She's not the type of person who likes to talk someone's ear off. Eva likes to be on her own, though it doesn't work when she has a partner with her. He might be the only person who's gotten pretty close to her, which is saying a lot. She's hesitant to let people in and be herself. If she does not get attached, then she can't get hurt. That may be true, but it has prevented people from really trying to get to know her. She can be a tough cookie, but she has a soft side as well.
She does have a bit of a photographic memory, which amazes some of her fellow cops and annoys others. Eva can be quite the stubborn individual, once she has her mind set. It can be construed as determination, too. She has a creative side to her, but it doesn't come out very often. Singing and drawing are little hobbies for her. After her mother died, she would sing her little brother to sleep. Eva's a smart woman and knows how to really speak her mind, when she needs to do so. Her blunt tongue is not always good, but it's who she is. Eva doesn't plan on going and changing that, just because someone doesn't like it. She's no doormat, so don't even try it.

Loss • Love • Family • Fear • Self-Defense!

Eva Martinez was born on the morning of June 16th in the heart of Chile, to Teresa and Nicolas Martinez. They seemed to have a happy enough life. She would spend time, helping her mother out in the kitchen, while her father was off at work. Little Eva was happy as any little girl can be. When she was 10 years old, her brother Benjamin was born. But sadness had struck them. You see, while little Benjamin came into the world, her mother Teresa was leaving it. Miss Eva's heart seemed to break apart that day. At first, she was furious with her little brother for taking away their mother. But after a few talks with her father and time to reflect, she had realized that she needed to be there for him. It wasn't his fault, but come on. She was 10! Anyway, from then on, she helped her father and took care of him. Even sang him to sleep on occasion...
Years passed, both Eva and Benjamin were growing older. He seemed to have their mother's eyes, but Eva inherited her feisty spirit. She earned a bit of a reputation at her school, known as the "Boy-Beater." She defended the weak and stood up to all the bullies that crossed her path. Then, a surprise came to the Martinez household. Nicolas had met somebody new and they were planning to get married. Eva wasn't pleased, knowing that this woman wasn't going to replace her own mother. After it was all said and done, they planned to move to the States. Eva was sad to leave her home, but reluctantly went with them. She and Benjamin gained a step-mother and a step-sister, one year younger than Benjamin (making Eva the oldest). They seemed to grow pretty close, the three of them. Bonded over the fact that they weren't only ones to lose a parent at a young age.
Once Eva was 18, she went off to college. She really wanted to help people, so she thought medicine was the way to go. Eva's days at college seemed to be going very well, passing her classes and everything. And then, she met Aidan Lockhart. He started out as a partner for a class and then, things moved on from there. He seemed really nice, until the teacher placed her with another partner for class. Aidan became very jealous and Eva couldn't understand it, since it was just class. He attacked the kid one day and at that moment, she ended it. He went off the deep end, ended up stalking her and what not. Eva had tried reasoning, but it was no use. It was too late for that. Aidan even attacked her one night, after trying to get back with her for the 50th time, and made his mark. The scar on her collarbone, not too far from her heart. Vincent had been the one to see this and save her. Interesting way of meeting, but it worked. After a few years of dating and her moving to New Jersey to get away from the memories, he proposed.
They were meant to get married, the following year or two, but tragedy struck again and took him away. She was devastated, dropped out of school for a bit, and then...got into becoming a cop instead. Interesting jump of interest, but it worked for Eva. So, here we are. She's older, but not 100% over Vincent. About 90%...maybe. Her brother Benjamin is over in NYC, studying as a film major. Angela is off at college too, studying music. More like music education. Nicolas and Ruth are enjoying having a house to themselves for the most part.

A Role Playing Sample
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Another day has come and gone for Samantha, making way for the night and her shift at Sparkles. It wasn't her dream job, but it pays the bills and she's pretty good at it. After a day of trying to complete a painting and running errands, a shower was in order. Once the hot water hit her skin, she let out a sigh of pure relief. It relieved some of the ache in her muscles. After about 10 or 15 minutes, Sam had emerged from the hot shower and dried herself off. She looked at herself in the mirror and bit her lower lip. The faint scar below her collarbone seemed to stand out against her fair skin. Before the memory of where the scar came from could take over, she pushed it away to the back of her mind and locked it away inside a little box. Where it belongs.
Once that was done, Sam made her way into her bedroom and proceeded to change. Her outfit fit with the spring-like weather and simple enough for work. After changing, it was time to put on some makeup. She's been told that she hardly needs to put any on, since she's already attractive. Sam already knew and in her opinion, there's no harm in enhancing what Sam's got already. Is there? Didn't think so. Nothing too crazy, just a little bit of eyeshadow and mascara to make the eyes seem to pop and a hint of lip gloss.
Once make-up's done and over with, time for accessories and a bit of perfume. Samantha decided on just earrings tonight since other pieces of jewelry will get wet from washing glasses while at work. After all that, she grabbed her few essentials (cell, her wallet, keys, etc.) and was out the door.
It didn't take her very long to get there and once she clocked in, Sam fell into the groove of things pretty quickly. She greeted the customers as they came up to the bar, mixed drinks, and all that jazz. Time passed by as she worked. When an argument began to brew between two guys, Sam watched and wasn't surprised. There's not a week that goes by without someone or more than one person getting kicked out for something. She gave her eyes a roll at the sight, while drying off a glass. A customer wandered up to the bar with an empty bottle, she walked over. ”I’ll have another beer, but go easy on the excess of manliness they were drinking,” Sam nodded her head, as her gaze began to linger upon the man's face.
He was definitely attractive, that much she knew for sure. Sam's lips turned up into a smile. "Coming right up." she said, in regards to his beer request. Sam moved to take the empty beer bottle and then went to pull one from the fridge. As she headed back to the man, popping the cap off as she walked, she spoke. "Flying solo tonight, huh?" she had said, trying to make a bit of small talk. She hadn't seen the man with anyone tonight, but it never hurt to be sure.
