conceptualization

GURPS-based stats might come a bit later. This is Bio Revision 0.0, so there are almost certainly several missteps.
(Rivka Tobias-Blackgaard Clan Universe)
Approximate age: 32
(HIST) Rivka was born in western Russia to British parents, there on a technology contract. She had a relatively sedentary childhood and still speaks in a neatly clipped (though slightly odd-sounding) mixture of a classical 'BBC accent' and one more common in Russia, although she can speak Russian itself with close to native-level comprehension. At 13, she and her family returned to Britain--Somerset, to be precise. She eventually graduated from Cambridge at 23, with a degree in psychology, and worked for approximately one year before being trained as an interrogator by the military there.
After another several years of work she left the military, moved to America, and began working in industrial spying and corporate sabotage under several aliases. In several of her more hacking-oriented jobs, she came across links to the Clan through front operations in certain Romanian and Ukranian cities. Through several more traces and contacts and a lengthy private investigation, she eventually completed the link series which led to the Manor itself ... ... ...

(TRA) As implied, she has advanced training in both psychology as an academic field and numerous less-theoretical interrogation techniques with years of experience in both. In hacking technology she's largely self taught, preferring to rely on social engineering and similar tactics to what would more traditionally be considered 'hacking' by most. She also has mild skill in kickboxing and some other unarmed combat disciplines and gun-wielding, with a personal interest in go and chess.

(EQU) Beretta 92, monofibre whip generally hidden under coat in the event of an emergency melee situation, and a combat knife of a stiletto-type model strapped to the side of her leg in the event of yet more emergency melee situations.
At present she's living in a somewhat luxury apartment in New York; she has a higher than average income, and can afford relatively high-quality computer equipment.
