Arcana Victoriana: Character Stat Rewrite

As the title says, I'm rewriting the stats of every character I've made so far. Printing them out is going to be a problem. I don't know what the layout on the cards will be. Sure, I could just print them on a big white sheet of paper, but it gets difficult finding what character you're using when nothing is bolded and you have several pages.
I'm thinking the stats will be printed Centered, Aligned-Left or Aligned Right (makes no difference to me). Character name across the top. I'll be doing straight boxes of health. If I do hit locations, it will bog down the game and it really serves no purpose. Gamers don't want realism in wargames. It reminds me of the balls damage system Heroclix has. One time I had the Hulk hit so bad, that his clicks went from Bruce Banner to Bruce Banner. He's near death and didn't even get mad. "Wait, what?"

Anyway, time to work on converting stats.
::EDIT:: 5/20/2011 Too easy to Defend. Stats change.
::EDIT:: 5/27/2011 Ranged attacks need more damage. Stats change.
::EDIT:: Trong suggested, "You can only defend against the number of successes. 2 successes on attack = 2 die to defend. The number should now represent the threshold of dice you can receive from an attack. Example: 7 successes were made against you, you have 4 Defense dice. 3 damage is going to automatically hit unless you roll 12s.
::EDIT:: 4/26/12 Removed the "Roll Defense" mechanic. Too dice-y. Re-write of all stats.

Notes:
An Average Human will have:
4 dice for M.ATK.
success of 7+ for M.ATK.
4 dice for DEF.
Success of 9+ for defense.

Normal guns have:
5 dice for damage
Success on 6+.

Passive Abilities are free and are always active.
Aggressive Abilities are used as your Attack Action.
The number on the left is the number of dice you roll.
The number on the right is your Target Success Number.
