|SEXUALITY|
Booker generally has a preference for the dames -- those fiery femmes that can match his wit. But after his exposure to Rapture, the Private Investigator has become a bit more open-minded.

Stocky, broad-shouldered, a mesomorph; toned and built with a balanced physique.
|SKIN|
A flush of tan over white suggesting telltale signs of a lineage Booker would rather keep a secret.
|SCARS|
Booker bears many scars of his past. He served in a war, rallied workers together to prevent strikes while utilizing modes of very questionable violence, and eventually stationed as a private detective -- but the scar that bears the most symbolism to him is the initials "AD" crudely etched on the back of his right hand.
|TATTOOS|
None whatsoever unless the "AD" on the back of his right hand counts as a body modification to which Booker applied himself with a knife so as not to forget his past mistakes.
|EYES|
Green, flashes a crystalline bright jade when emotions run high.
|HAIR|
Mussed and brown, combed to one side in feathery spikes with a salt and peppery look to them -- an inkling to his age.
|VOICE|
The many emotions of Booker DeWitt.
|SCENT|
Recently fired weapons, gun oil, cigarette smoke, booze of any variety considering he'll drink just about anything he can get his hands on, an old, indeterminate cologne, and leather.

FAMILIAL
|PARENTS|
Both deceased; not much is really known about Booker's parents as they were not around when he enlisted in the Army at the age of 16.
|WEALTH|
Impoverish. Considering his wildly mounting debts, Booker doesn't have a single penny to his name. Any acquired money is generally squandered away on gambling or attempts to pay off his debts, but nothing financial ever lasts for very long.
|SIBLINGS|
Booker was an only child.
|CHILDREN|
Anna DeWitt, Booker's only child. He loves her unconditionally, but was unable to care for her in his condition and thus relinquished her to pay off his debts.
|EDUCATION|
Booker has had some education, a bit of schooling before he served in the Army at age 16, but most of his education is primarily that of war strategies, investigative work, law, and numbers.
|OCCUPATION|
Booker served in the 7th Cavalry Regiment of the United States Army, became an 'employee' of the Pinkerton's National Detective Agency, and eventually held a job as a private investigator in both New York and in an alternate timeline in the underwater city, Rapture. Booker was also Chief of Security under Jack Wynand (Ryan), when he took over and repaired the city.
PERSONALITY
|ALIGNMENT|
Booker has an every-man-for-himself mentality, however when it comes to Elizabeth and basic morality, he tends to be more adept at rectitude.
|DEFINING TRAITS|
Unforgiving of himself, Booker is contrite with his life's choices. Hiding amidst a gruff facade, he suffers from the throes of regret, alcoholism, and a great loss that manifested itself as a hollow and empty void.
|TEMPERAMENT|
Booker is a taciturn and serious man who feels deep regret for the atrocities and wrongdoings committed in his past. He comes across as unfeeling with a surly exterior and has a tendency to fly off the handle on a dime, but once past the boorish outer layer, Booker is also quite genuine and capable of patience.
|INTELLIGENCE|
Booker has a lot of military knowledge; strategies, a general grasp on physics, and acclimates quickly to almost any given situation. He is deductive, able to read people better than they can read themselves, and while lacking formal education, he more than makes up for in street smarts.
|PRIORITIES|
"Bring the girl. Wipe away the debt. Get those sons-a-bitches off my back!"
|ACCESSORIES|
Booker is versatile and can have an a sundry of weapons on him at one time, but typically in his inventory is what is known as Vigors and Salts. He carries a photo of Elizabeth with him for personal reasons, his holster, and whatever else is important to him at the time.
