Name: Elizabeth Hazelquist
Gender: Female
Age: 24 human years
Appearance: General appearance. A picture can be added and would be recommended, but written is also allowed. Body type/height is also a good thing to add, since it gives people a sense of physical relations to other characters.
Personality: At first glance, Elizabeth seems to commonly be stuck in her own mind. She's a nervous individual. Restless, on occasion. Doesn't like standing or sitting still for very long, fidgets, sometimes paces around. Calmer moments are usually spent meditating, or out walking around. Generally fickle, but some aspects of her personality remain consistent depending on moods. Occasionally doubts decisions, unsure of self, but only before making decision. Once a decision is made, she commits. Her stubborn side shows most easily after a decision has been made, regardless of the type. Not necessarily untrusting, but generally dubious of other's intentions and motivations. She believes she has every reason to be. Seems to have an air of melancholy, with a little flicker of hope somewhere in it, as if accepting a grim fate but still trudging onward nevertheless. Generally well-tempered and patient, wants to get along and find camaraderie in others but seems to be a little reluctant to reach out.
Skills: Most notable...
Photographic Memory - Elizabeth has incredible mental clarity, allowing her to recall events and certain things she has seen as if the images are imprinted firmly in her mind.
Athleticism - Elizabeth is a natural athlete, quick and light on her feet, and at home running in either urban environments or in the wild.
Artist - Elizabeth was, and still is (when she has the downtime), an artist. Her drawings tend to be macabre in nature, displaying dark scenery and haunting imagery, usually featuring monsters and distorted realities. This was not always her style.
Stealthy - There is a reason Elizabeth hasn't been caught after all this time. Knowing where and how to hide in the city is just as important as knowing where and how to hide in the shadows.
Hand-to-hand Combatant - Elizabeth is competent in hand to hand, proficient enough to hold her own.
Weaknesses:
Wanted - For a handful of murders, four that she is suspected for, two that she would be convicted of, dead to rights for the evidence left and the witnesses that can testify. On top of this, countless acts of assault are assumed to be tied to her, some of which have evidence that prove her guilt. She has attracted the attention of more than just the law enforcement, however, as something in the underground has been stirred by her actions.
Blood Trails - It is impossible to go anywhere or live anywhere without a certain detriment of hers becoming a recurring issue. Her MO is already known. Bite marks, drained blood and, if retrieved soon enough, her DNA. She still hasn't learned to cover her tracks, and the blood trail she leaves brings suspicion to her whereabouts too commonly for comfort.
Almost No Allies - With her bad reputation and history, her parents want nothing to do with her, law enforcement wants her brought in, and the underground wants something as well, either dead or alive. Elizabeth has only one friend she can count on. Jason Fuller is the only one that will take her in and hide her, only because he has the resources to do so and... he also believes in her more than anyone else cares to. Having an FBI agent on your contacts list is a great thing, but if anything tied her to to Jason, they could easily be in huge trouble... whether Jason cares for her enough not to throw her under the bus to save his own ass isn't known for sure, and he refuses to discuss the subject with her. Running in the shadows is the best plan of action for now.
Bio: Elizabeth comes from the Pacific Northwest, a place most well known for it's tech industry, the city of Seattle (where she came from) and that fact that pretty much every serial killer ever goes through Washington state at some point. She spent most of her life in the city.
Up until the age of sixteen, she had everything going for her. Though she did have an attitude problem with some and a natural dislike for authority, she didn't seem to have much trouble making friends or getting by in school. Her nature as a psion was hidden from her classmates as suggested by her parents, but as children are she eventually thought it would be way more cool to show everyone what she was capable of rather than hide it away her whole life. This naturally gave rise to mixed reactions in school. It was unclear how the school system would deal with a psionic child, her friends had mixed opinions of her after the revelation, but her closest friends stayed with her. Needless to say, things fell together somehow even if they didn't fall together the same way they were before.
Now, back on subject. It was at age sixteen where she started to exhibit strange signs. She developed nervous habits that weren't present before, started talking to herself as if she were speaking to someone else, her powers started to grow, and she started to seem like she "wasn't all there". To skip forward through fluff and other details, her life began to fall apart around the age of nineteen, when she was diagnosed with schizophrenia. She had already exhibited signs of growing mental illness before, but had dealt with it over time. It was the subject of much argument before, whether a psion was able to suffer from any kind of mental illness, as the event was entirely unprecedented since psions were believed to have greater mental clarity than normal human beings. As is expected, she was sent to a psych ward. Due to her power as a psion, and how dangerous the diagnosis of schizophrenia was assumed to be, there was no other choice.
Her condition continued to deteriorate as she started to suffer from horrible migraines, complaining about voices and images that were not actually present. Her presence of mind seemed to be entirely lost, leaving her locked inside herself and her own perceived insanity. The chaos came to a head when she broke out of her room during an 'episode'. While orderlies tried to detain her, she seemed to calm down for a moment. There was a space of three seconds where she ceased struggling and then proceeded to allow them to escort her back calmly without any trouble. After this, she suddenly snapped. One orderly was psychically forced through a window, the force throwing back several other people present at the scene, and the last one with a hold on her had his throat torn out by her teeth. It was reported that the man forced out the window died on impact with the asphalt he landed on, and the other shortly after bled to death, having his blood drained by Elizabeth Hazelquist. Reports vary, but she said something to the effect of 'He finally stopped talking', after wiping her mouth. She escaped the psych ward and has been on the run ever since. It is unclear what really happened to her, or why, but two murders are linked to her already.
Relationship: Single.
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral, with swaying tendencies to evil and good. At the end of the day, she's looking out for herself.
Alias: Elizabeth has no alias as she was not given any identity after she escaped the psych ward except for her full name. She simply stayed hidden.
Origin of Powers: Elizabeth was a psion at birth, capable of using weaker powers at a young age, and honing with them continued use as she grew. The origin of the incredible power she exhibited while escaping the psych ward was given by something else, mentioned below.
Description of Powers: Psionic powers generally work on focus and will. Through willpower and focus, Elizabeth is able to interact with the world using the power of her latent psychic abilities, and also interact with others in the same way.
Telekinesis - Elizabeth has the ability to act upon the world using her mind. She can project psychic force, manipulate objects, and even her own positioning with the correct focus and finesse. She is capable of moving small and large objects. With enough psychic force and focus, she can lift the weight of a truck.
Telepathy - The ability to actively read surface thoughts through focus of the will and mind became second nature to Elizabeth in her teenage years, allowing her to read surface thoughts as easily as reading the expression upon someone's face. With greater focus, she can delve into the mind of another to search for information. It is not so much thieving of information as it is copying it down and calmly walking back out. Inversely, she is capable of leaving behind information and implanting her own images and thoughts, much like subliminal messaging. While one is awake, this can implant thought as previously described. While asleep or otherwise unconscious, this can be whole new way to speak with and share information with others. Or to instill nightmarish visions.
Raw Force - In the same vein as telekinesis, but less about manipulating objects or environment with the mind and more about exerting energy to throw raw, destructive force out. Either directed, or burst out wildly from the origin of the user in all directions. This force does not require as much focus as manipulating objects, and can be done on a whim. It's power can vary in strength, from the psychic equivalent of shoving someone with your hands, down to more subtle nudges, all the way up to tearing up asphalt and launching cars.
Healing And Assimilation - This is the act of binding wounds back together through psychically repairing the damage done, while assimilation refers to the act of tearing away the flesh and bone of fresh corpses to replace and repair lost tissue. The assimilated tissue is changed to conform to Elizabeth's original form, so there is no Frankenstein effect.
Shielding - The act of using psychic force and focus to generate a barrier with physical presence. The more force that is acting upon it, the more taxing it is to hold the barrier. While bullets do have high amount of impact force, they are generally small objects and act upon small areas. However, a speeding car would shatter , taking only a slight impact to it's speed as it continues on. This isn't to say she couldn't stop a speeding car with a high enough amount of psychic power, but there may be reasons not to try.
Weaknesses of Powers: Elizabeth's weakness lies within the mental organism she shares a mind with. For her, it is as if another soul has taken residence in her body and lives only in her mind. Elizabeth can tap into the immense extra power this being affords her, but it comes at a hefty cost. The creature in her mind hates her, and whenever it is awake it will express it's hatred through a number of ways. The most notable is the migraines she experiences, as it's words are more like a psychic scream in her head, resonating through her mind and soul. It also taunts her, reminding her of what she has become since he came into her life. A murderer. A destroyer. A monster. She argues with him, fights with him, shouts back at herself to try to get to him but he won't let her win. He will awaken if she taps into too much of his power too quick, and he will also simply awaken overtime. The only way to get him to sleep again is by either doing what he tells her to, or drinking human blood. Fresh from a squirming body, a newly dead corpse, or a fridgerated bag doesn't matter. It's a disgusting habit, and he forces it upon her as the only way to get him to shut up and let her be.
If she overdraws on power and awakens him, he will waste no time in causing her pain. This will break her focus, leave her vulnerable until she can find a way to focus out the pain, and generally results in someone having their throat torn open in a desperate attempt to alleviate the pain after long enough. As such, her power is limited by her willingness to awaken him. He will never sleep on his own, and will stay awake until Elizabeth does what he asks. On his own, he will awaken within as little as a handful of days, or as long as a week and a half.
Role in the Media and Public Eye: Elizabeth is viewed by the media as an escaped patient at large, by the public eye as a terrifying force of nature, by the FBI as a heinous criminal, and by the underground as a threat. As such, she stays out of the public eye and keeps hidden.
