Character description/personality:
Angel is a relatively uncommon sight due to racism as she is a mix of dark and light skinned humans. She has black hair and a light-brownish tone of skin. Having an aura of confidence, Angel is an opportunist who loves taking advantage of everything for her own gain. Circumstances or people, whether good or bad, Angel makes lemonade when life serves lemons. It's an interesting poker face to have, but due to always seeming to be in a good mood due to believing herself always in control, nobody can guess what her true feelings are underneath. Granted, she's still working on her bluffing skills, but she usually uses the truth to get her places. In her mind, she never loses and it's only a matter of time before she is in control of everyone.

Combat tactics:
As mentioned, Angel is an opportunist. All her attacks are revolved around seizing the opportunity and using it to her advantage. She knows better than to betray comrades, however, and will do what she can to protect them.

Character background:
Angel was raised by a pair of villains who taught her to believe not only in herself, but her destiny to become greater than everyone else. She realizes she is just starting out, but plans to eventually do as her parents taught her: Take over the world. But between her upbringing and her personal plans, Angel became not so much a villain, but someone who believes both good and evil are useful.

Possible character musing when I actually sat and asked myself how to make the most accurate ranged character. Wasn't going straight Avenger because I wanted to see how high the attack number could get. Anyway... listing what I take at each level and how large the attack is and how large it CAN be from using powers and such:

Level 1:
Human Hybrid Ranger/Rogue. Chose Ranger Reflex.
Stats: Str 08, Con 10, Dex 20, Int 13, Wis 13, Cha 10
Trained Skills: Acro (11), Ath (5), Bluff (6), Ins (7), Int (6), Perc (7), Stealth (11)
At-Will Powers: Preparitory Strike (Rogue), Probing Strike (Rogue), Twin Strike (Ranger)
Encounter Power: Fox's Cunning (Ranger)
Daily Power: Guardian Arrow (Ranger)
Feats: Hybrid Talent (Chose Rogue Weapon Talent: Crossbow Sharpshooter), Weapon Proficiency - Superior Crossbow

Attack: Dex mod (5) + Proficiency (3) + Sharpshooter (1) = 9
Potential Attack: Attack (9) + Combat Advantage (2) + Power Bonus (1) = 12

Level 2:
Utility: Begin the Hunt
Feat: Crossbow Expertise

Attack: See Level 1 (9) + Enhancement (1) + Half level (1) + Feat (1) = 12
Potential Attack: Attack (12) + Combat Advantage (2) + Power Bonus (2) = 16

Level 3:
Encounter Power: Fleeting Spirit Strike
Nothing special here. Just picking the most ideal encounter power, nothing for attack at this level.

Level 4:
Bonus to Stats: +1 Dex, +1 Wis
Feat: Action Surge (+3 attack when you use action point)
Half Level brings up base attack from 12 to 13

Attack: 15
Potential Attack: Attack (15) + C.A. (2) + Power Bonus (2) + Surge (3) = 22

As you can see, by level 4, the attack value is already nuts, needing only a roll of 7 to hit AC 20. And that's if I target AC and with my base attack. I can potentially hit AC 22 with a roll of 2 (since a roll of 1 is auto-miss, I didn't bother mentioning hitting AC 21 with a roll of 1)

But right now it's late, so I'll just leave it at that and continue this madness later. Enjoy the build for what it is. Pure accuracy.

Later possible feat
Feat: Against All Odds (if 3 enemies adjacent to you at start of turn: +1 attack)
