Totally caught me by surprise. I should probably pay more attention to my EXP total after all... Updates are in... Oh, let's go with this eye-searing color this time around.
Name: Madison Freebird
Age: 27
Race: Human
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Blue
Height: 5'7
Weight: 113 lbs.
Occupation: Retired assassin, bookstore owner
Personality: Madison is the type of person who keeps to herself as much as possible. She's neurotic, violent, and generally an unpleasant person to be around, although her time spent away from the murder business has mellowed her out a little bit. On the flip side of the coin, she is very cunning and calculating, able to analyze the current situation and work her way out of it no matter the cost.
Appearance: Her facial features are thin and pale; her deep blue eyes, raven-black hair, and constantly vacant expression giving her a crow-like appearance. Her body follows suit--thin and lacking in "assets". As for clothing, her tastes are rather conservative. Her favorite garment is a dark purple, long-sleeved vlince dress. The sides of the dress are slitted from the bottom up to halfway up the her thighs to allow easier movement, while the long sleeves act as a hiding place for her wire. Underneath the dress is a vlince-lined hard leather corset she wears for minor protection. Madison also wears black, fingerless lace gloves that reach up to her elbows, black stockings, and black high-heeled leather boots. She has a sapphire brooch around her neck, but that's about as extravagant as she'll get. Whenever she's not on a mission or at a fight, she wears a short sleeved black blouse top and a pair of blue jeans. Overall, she isn't ugly, but she's not something most men (who weren't into creepy things) would look at twice.
History:
It's been three years since Madison hung up her daggers and retired from active duty. This time has been spent working an honest job at the Radasanth Grand Library in hopes that she'll earn enough to open a second-hand book store of her own one day.
Because of events that I may or may not solo at some point, she was finally able to open her bookstore, which she named The Janus Street Bookstore.
Skills:
"I was trained in the art of kicking your ass!": Madison had been training in hand-to-hand combat since the age of eleven, and has master level skill in the art. Dodging and parrying the attacks of someone of equal skill is no great feat for her.
Mental disruption: Madison stumbled upon a latent ability that, by focusing her thoughts, she is able to mess with the perceptions of another person no more than fifteen feet away from her. As she emits the small, focused wave of psychic energy, the target's eyesight blurs and jumps around for several seconds while a wave of nausea passes through. She is only able to use this twice per IC day/battle, since the process leaves her feeling slightly drained.
Chemistry: To pass the time between training sessions and missions, Madison has taken to reading books on how to concoct various potions and powders. She has above average skill.
The wire: Madison keeps fifty feet of thin steel wire wrapped around her upper arms. Through latent telekinetic skill, she can mentally control her wire's movements up to thirty feet away from her body. She can move it twice as fast as she can physically move.
Dual-wielding knives: Strapped to the back of her belt are two eight inch long damascus daggers. She is of above-average skill with these.
"Shhhh!": A few busted jobs when she was starting out forced Madison to learn the art of stealth. She is very skilled at not making noises when she walks on a solid surface, like wood, marble, and so on. But, since nobody is perfect, she has yet to be able to silence her footsteps on gravel and the like.
One tough bitch: Madison can take two times the amount of physical and one and a half times the magical punishment that a normal, fit human being can.
Equipment:
A small leather satchel to carry anything she may pick up along her way
Fifty feet of steel wire
Two 8" damascus daggers.
A small vial containing two grams of paralyzing powder--on average, half of a gram will be enough to paralyze for one minute.
