Wisp OCT: Allison Qervo

Wisp OCT

WALL OF TEXT AHEAD, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

Full Name: Allison Qervo
Approximate translation of Qervo: "half-raptor" or "raptor hand"

Species: Human w/ Raptor mutation

Vitals:
Age: 25 years, four months
Height: 5' 2"
Weight: appx. 120 lbs.
Skin tone: average white but perpetually tanned
Eyes: Bright cobalt blue; irises have barely distinguishable scars running through them like so () (/) When wielding illiato/soulfire, pupils appear slitted
Dental: Normal, well-aligned. Right-upper canine tooth is worn almost flat, while the left-upper canine is long and sharp, and extends almost down to her bottom gum. Her bottom teeth have shifted to accommodate this.
Hair: Natural color is auburn, kept in a short, choppy bob cut. Bangs frame (and occasionally fall into) her face in short, light strands; not emo or scene hair. Section of bangs on the right side is bleached lighter and has five horizontal streaks running across the section. What these represent is for her to know and you to forget about.

Clothing: Basic dark grey t-shirt with the logo of the Muse single "Knights of Cydonia" printed on it ((linked below)). Over top, an oversized black windbreaker with a light grey lining. The name "Allison, 2013" is embroidered on the front right of the chest, and the back spells out "O'Connor Raptors" in white-bordered red varsity-style letters. Below, wears a belt made of chain-mail links woven together with leather strips. Jeans are acid-washed and boot-cut, and have many patches of wear and tear, as well as slashes in the fabric. Black motorcycle boots (functional, not trendy).

Accessories: Two sets of ear piercings but rarely wears any earrings (liability in a fight). A claw-shaped pendant of (what looks like) hematite on a black cord. A silver chain necklace with the following items strung on it: a generic gold cross pendant with the end snapped so it is "+" shaped, a small frag grenade pin, and a nickel with a hole burned through the center. Large silver diver's watch with an abalone face and a small crack in the glass, worn on right wrist. Carries a bowie knife with a blade that appears to be made from striated crystal in a sheath on her belt.
In her (very large) jacket pockets: mp3 player with noise-canceling headphones, an old guitar pick, loose change and other assorted crap.

Raptor hand: Her left arm is technically amputated midway through her forearm. In her normal limb's place is a skeletal, mechanical-looking-but-still-organic, clawed hand. How this happened exactly is a confidential matter she does not speak of. It was NOT an experiment done by anyone...or thing. The arm's structure is similar to that of a velociraptor, and has three long fingers with a semi-opposable thumb. All four fingers have talons that can change length to an extent, as well as retract almost fully. The arm can regenerate any damage done to it over a period of a week or so, and can also produce a set of Wolverine-like blades out of each "bone" over all four fingers. The arm's greatest function, however, is firing illiato, or soulfire, as it translates to human. Soulfire is an inexplicable substance that is produced by many higher beings, but the ability to harness it requires millenia of genetic selection, and it is not possible for a human to master control of it. However, thanks to this arm...Allison isn't entirely human. The arm allows her to channel soulfire to a degree enough that it is extremely dangerous. Her whole forearm will widen into a cannon-like structure (often triggered by adrenaline, but she has voluntary control as well) and can fire small, narrow, blade-like bolts of energy, which instantaneously burst into plasma-like flame and explode on contact. Occasionally, she can produce bolts that don't explode, and on rarer occasions she's been able to produce a flamethrower-like stream of soulfire or a sphere of energy that can be thrown. With great control, she can even make just a small "flame" like a lighter, for seeing in the dark or other useful things. The color of her soulfire is a purplish-indigo, with an eerie white core in the bolts of energy.

Phantom-raptor: One of the great soulfire-masteries Allison inherited with her arm was something called, roughly, "Solid Illusion." She can change her appearance to a single different form (true i'Lazuli, or soulfire masters, can take many or infinite forms). It is not truly shapeshifting, for her actual body does not change, but instead condenses into a solid form while a tangible, strong illusion appears around it. Allison's Forme is that of a skeletal, Utahraptor-like creature wreathed in bluish-black smoke. The raptor is thin, but not an actual skeleton save for the head, and the neck has larger, more visible vertebre than normal. Its arms are long, it has two sickle claws on each foot instead of one, and also has the ears, jagged mane and tendrils of a psychoraptor ((species reference and credits linked)). Its "eye" is a single point of cobalt-blue light inside the center of the skull, and at moments of high emotion ethereal flames with burn around it. The smoke it breathes can paralyze victims or sometimes freeze them in a tetanic state (all the muscles are locked).


The Motorcycle: Allison's hematite pendant (which was given to her by a friend and defies all laws of physics, because fuck physics) when thrown to the ground, unfolds into her motorcycle. It can only be powered by her soulfire alone, and she does this by "melding" her arm onto the left handlebar. It is a very badass motorcycle, but will be described later. The most important thing about the cycle is that it can, at the right command, become "ghosted" and will allow her to pass through solid objects. In "reality" this works through some complicated impossible science, but let's just pretend it's magic here. The only downside is that the ghosting cannot be sustained for long, long periods, and Allison must be in midair when "de-ghosting" or else other solid stuff would...whatever.

Fighting:
Strengths (human): Long-range combat, dodging, intimidation, interrogation, fighting dirty, weaker shots but more precise, trickery over fighting
Strengths (phantom-raptor): Close combat, melee fighting, mass killing, sneaking, wields stronger soulfire with worse aim, finding weak points, fear, regeneration (not instant)

Weaknesses (human): rest of body is human and thus breakable, no means of defense, easily swayed by emotions, becomes slow and cautious when faced with unfamiliar opponents
Weaknesses (phantom): also has no means of defense, body is strong but cannot climb or lift great weights, somewhat uncoordinated


Personality in a nutshell: sarcastic, sharp-tongued, holds grudges, black-or-white views, short-tempered, amiable to people she likes, violent to those she doesn't, stubborn, passionate, swears like a motherfucking sailor, dominant, tries to conceal fear, secretly terrified of failure, death and zombies.

Likes: rare steaks, most music, performing, fighting enemy Raptors, sticking it to the man, rum, the water, hot days, freedom of speech, her bike, Dominic ((oooh, who's that?))

Dislikes: the Phantom ((different than her phantom-forme)), government, people who diet, high schools, power outages, censors, smokers, her past

ANYTHING ELSE...will all be revealed in good time.
