X-men Noir: Let The Good Times Roll

Alison nodded as Atticus introduced himself and kept her steps in sync with his own as they descended the staircase to the bunker. Her blonde curls bounced sweetly below her collar bone with each step, and she kept her fingertips just inside the pockets of her warm coat. She noticed a new enthusiasm in Atticus' posture and expression that sparked even more excitement of her own. The two quickly reached the cement floor of the bunker with syncopated footsteps that echoed in the empty space. Ali's fair skin prickled with goose bumps in the cold atmosphere, and she pulled the blue wool tighter around her body in an effort to stop shivering. She gently shouldered Atticus to the left of the staircase as the small, timid boy from upstairs joined the party.

Ali could see his face better, even with only the faint light from the bulb hanging from the rafters. He was a little dirty, but his eyes were wide with curiosity and a sort of gentleness. He wouldn't harm a fly. She watched as Logan sheathed his long metallic claws and shifted the authoritative expression on his rugged face. Her head titled slightly to the side with intrigue as she observed what could be a "softer" side to this he-devil. She listened as Kimberly spoke, but kept her eyes focused on Logan's face. The change was unmistakable. Care. Compassion. Understanding. How interesting of a man this, Wolverine, was proving to be. Although Ali was quite eager to learn and marvel the talents of her new acquaintances, she was having an equally entertaining time reading them with her gaze.

Logan politely addressed the girl, Kimberly, and stepped away from Yukiko to approach the boy standing on Ali's right side. She noticed his body tense with Wolverine's touch and her lips lowered into a sort of frown. Ali, still feeling guilty for her statement earlier, was truly beginning to realize the comforts of her life. Whether having an overprotective and overbearing father was better than establishing your independence in the world was debatable from her standpoint. Snark? Ali thought it a peculiar name for the boy, but she'd heard quite a handful of peculiar names in the past minutes. As Logan stepped back, giving Snark room for demonstration, she noticed his eyes sneak back to Yukiko. Ali looked as well. She was such a quiet girl, regardless of the language barrier, but was surrounded by a sort of serenity. Ali regarded the fondness in Logan's eyes and turned her eyes away, not wanting to interrupt the moment.

Snark's stuttering was messy and confusing, but Alison gathered that he truly didn't know what his "powers" were. He mentioned he'd been approached by Charles Xavier weeks earlier though, which puzzled Ali. Her light eyebrows furrowed and she pressed her lips together in silent meditation. How can Charles know this boy's power when he himself doesn't even know how he ended up in New York? She shifted her eyes to Wolverine with Snark's last words, but they quickly met back with the stumbling boy beside her. Ali cautiously stepped towards him and extended her palm.

"No one is going to shank you or kick you out, Snark. I'm Alison, and although I'm sure it isn't very apparent from my actions earlier, I'm quite protective of those close to me. Literally and figuratively."

She smiled wide and shut her eyes briefly, lowering her palm slowly in case it was not received or welcome.

Dahlia Maven

a g e
23 years

a p p e a r a n c e
Dahlia is petite and stands at about 5’3” when her posture is pristine. Her hair is the color of deep mahogany and glistens with tints of auburn in the sunlight. It reaches to the tops of her collar bone and is filled with long, thick layers. Her face is full and rounded, but her chin squares off slightly. It gives her an overall sturdy and powerful appearance. Her eyes, like the other four Golden Uisilons, burn with a striking mixture of yellow and orange. They are narrow, elongated, and topped off with thin, dark eyebrows. Her curvy lips are almost always coated with a light cherry colored smear that set off her fair, elegant skin. She prefers to wear darker colored clothing that flows and envelops her body like the waters she is so familiar with manipulating. She constantly wears an ornate opal necklace that was passed down to her from her late grandmother.

p e r s o n a l i t y
Dahlia, who prefers to be called by her last name, is a quietly fierce young woman. She is a deep-thinker with a thirst for solving complicated problems of any form. She prefers solitude and enjoys long sessions of silent contemplation in the more deserted regions of Undaro. Dahlia does not necessarily shy away from socialization, but she is very particular about who she actively speaks with. She has a passion for helping others, but despises any taste of recognition for her kind deeds. Her grandmother was a very strict disciplinarian, and Dahlia grew up with an attitude of absolute humility. Her heart, much like her eyes, is truly golden in her words and actions. Whether or not that fact is openly displayed is an entirely different matter.

h i s t o r y
Dahlia’s parents were very intellectual, much like their daughter, and continued to study the Mundane civilization in secret after the banishment. Their work kept them away from Undaro for weeks at a time, leaving Dahlia in the care of her paternal grandmother. Mother Maven, as the Uisilons called her, was beloved by all. She was a wise woman with an instinctual understanding for the thoughts and actions of others. This wisdom was what ultimately led to her selection by the Uisilon council to collaborate with the Mundane political leaders. Mother Maven left Dahlia with the cryptic words, “Your quiet ferocity is what frightens them the most. Be loud, my dear. Be loud.”

After her grandmother’s death, Dahlia’s parents put a hiatus on their study of the Mundanes. Their only child, gifted to become a Golden Uisilon, became their total focus and prodigy. They had Dahlia studying, practicing, and utilizing her skills for weeks at a time with no rest. The young girl took her grandmother’s words seriously and stayed diligent throughout the years. As Dahlia grew older, she began extending her skills to the Uisilon community. These charitable acts became her passion and gave her a serenity that her laborious studying could never grant.

r a n k
Golden Uisilon

p o w e r
Dahlia has the ability of aquakinesis. She can create, shape, and manipulate it as an inorganic compound in any state. This power includes changing water back and forth from its various states.

s t a n c e
The Maven family has been opposed to the idea of “hiding” underground for generations. They are a proud blood-line with a strong sense of unity and democracy. Dahlia’s grandmother was willing to negotiate with the Mundanes over the issue of societal integration, but was murdered before she could openly voice her ideas. Dahlia, being raised primarily by Mother Maven, assimilated her grandmother’s values with her own. She has a deep-rooted desire for integration because she is intrigued with the Mundane civilization. On the other hand, there is a pang of bitterness stemming from her grandmother’s untimely end that conflicts Dahlia’s inherently peaceful nature. A darker side of her wishes to seek out the select political Mundane leaders and serve them a plate of demise forged from their own sinful actions.

Parent CS

Name||
Aubrianna "Aubri" Winters

Age||
35 years

Gender|
|XX

Class||
Golden

Splice||
American black bear


Abilities||
Due to her genetic splice Aubri has heightened sense in her strength, hearing, swimming, and smell. She is able to lift objects that more than double her weight and can also climb with ease. Aubri's greatest defense is her ability to hear in all directions. It exceeds human frequencies and the same goes for her smelling capabilities. Her vision is sharp and defined close-up, but she has trouble distinguishing at a distance. Aubri's reflexes and quickness are also lacking, but she makes up for them with her other abilities. She performs best in a defensive situation.

Description||
Aubri is average height, standing at approximately 5'7", and has strongly built shoulders.Her jaw is square and her cheekbones are high and defined. She has fierce chocolate brown eyes and luscious, full lips. Aubri's flawless sun-kissed skin and bright smile are some of her greatest features. Her hair is a deep mahogany color and subtly streaked with hints of auburn from the sun. It is naturally filled with loose curls and is very thick to the touch. Aubri has Native American roots which play into her overall proud, mighty appearance.

Personality||
Aubrianna is a stubborn beyond stubborn individual. She was raised primarily by her paternal grandfather who instilled in her a sense of pride and deep reflection. Aubri constantly questions the ways of her world, including the war and class system. She is a very intuitive woman and will always speak her mind passionately. Her sense of humoris very sarcastic and bitter, but she does not pass up an opportunity to laugh. She enjoys life in its most simplistic fashion and is constantly adventuring throughout the wilds. Always seeking opportunity and companions who share her ideals or just someone to have an enjoyable conversation with.

History||
As stated earlier, Aubri was raised by her paternal grandfather. She lives in a "tribal" community, consisting of small connected families and friends all of Native American decent (also all Goldens). The community follows a traditional way of life and tends to stay separated from modern medicines and conveniences.This lifestyle shaped Aubri into the individual she is today. She values family above all else and is extremely resourceful. Aubri began working for the trade caravans that would travel to city when she was 18 years old. Her speech skills and persuasiveness were invaluable to the business. It was during these travels that Aubri met, and fell in love with Matthias Winters. His stark red hair and blue eyes were not the only things that set him apart from the other city boys. Matthias was a Filthy and his fox-like fangs were accompanied by a bushy tail which he wrapped cleverly around his waist. Aubri had never understood the resentment between her people and the Filthies, and saw nothing but perfection in Matthias. Unfortunately, her grandfather did not feel the same. They eloped on Aubri's 21st birthday, and shortly after Matthias was recruited for the impending war. Not only did he leave Aubri his last name, but also a gorgeous daughter. Matthias sent reparations and affection when he was able, and eventually earned the respect of Aubri's stern grandfather. Over the years, Aubri and Margot have formed an insanely close bond. Matthiasis involved as much as he can be, but has not seen his daughter since she was 3 years old. Aubri's desire to join her love in the war is only conflicted by her need to protect Margot.


Name||
Matthias Winters

Age||
37 years

Gender||
XY

Class||
Filthy

Splice||
Fox


Abilities||
Same as his daughter Margot's, just more matured due to his age and experience.

Description||
Matthias is short for a man, standing at 5'10", but is lean and slender in body build. His chest and stomach ripple with defined muscles, but his arms and legs are skinnier. His skin is fair, which makes his blue eyes stand out more. His stark red hair is his most defining feature, besides his filthy attributes. Matthias' upper canines are sharp and often stick outside his lips. He also has small black whiskers beneath his nose, but they are masked by his sleek red mustache. His fox tail is more than obvious, but is tucked slyly around his waist as a belt. Despite his peculiar looks, he is quite the handsome man.

Personality||
Matthias is, in all sense of the word, charming. He is able to talk his way in or out of any situation. He is a care-free man and rarely ever loses his temper. His demeanor is cool and collected, and he often spends his free time engrossed in a book or gambling game. Matthias is flirtatious and a favorite among many of the city girls. His wit and humor are envied by many. One of his greatest, but most surprising traits, is his genuine care and selflessness. Matthias loves spending time caring for his younger brothers and sisters.

History||
Matthias is the eldest son in a family blessed by 7 beautiful children. Matthias' older sister Caroline was killed in house fire at the age of 12. By circumstance, this makes Matthias the oldest living sibling. His mother was one of the few humans who remained hidden during the experimental testing. Her genes were not marred by any animal coding. His father's family, on the other hand, was not as fortunate. Despite the criticisms from their families, the two married and immediately established a family. Caroline was born like her mother, clean of any genetic mutations. Their second child, Matthias, was gifted with his patriarchal grandfather's filthy blood. Out of the remaining 6 younger children, only the youngest boy was born "clean". When Caroline passed, Matthias instinctively took on the role of a surrogate father to the family. His own father worked diligently in the coal mines to provide a living for the family. His mother practiced healing through herbs and offered her services and goods to the city folk. Thus, Matthias met his wife Aubrianna and formed his own family.

Daughter CS

Name||
Margot Winters

Age||
18 years

Gender||
XX

Class||
Golden

Splice||
Fox


Abilities||
Margot inherited her genetic mutation and abilities from her father, but maintained her mother's Golden blood-line and appearance. She is cunning, quick, sneaky, and incredibly alluring. Margot's most incredible asset is her ability to use the Earth's magnetic field to aim her strikes. Unlike her mother, Margot is much more of an offensive player. She is agile and has outstanding reflexes both in everyday life and combat. Margot relies on her wit, rather than her strength. She has average strength capabilities, but would not fare well in hand-to-hand combat without proper training. Which is precisely why her quickness and striking speed are to her advantage.

Description||
Margot's facial features very much resemble her mother's. Square jaw, high cheek bones, and a pleasantly plump pair of lips. Although her skin is fairer than Aubri's, her Native American ancestry is still visible in her features. Her eyes are the same stark blue as her father, however, and her figure is taller and leaner like Matthias'. She is 5'9" and has long, slender legs and arms. Her hair is loosely curled and a mousy brown color. It is faintly tinted with streaks of auburn as well. Margot usually keeps her hair pulled back in a loose top knot with a few wispy strands hanging playfully on her face and neck.

Personality||
Margot is wild and fiercely spirited. She is extremely curious and is constantly on the move or butting her way into other people's business. Although she is very excitable, she can be helpful and kind as well. Margot takes her mother's persuasiveness to a new level. The cunning and manipulation may be attributed to her DNA splice, but it is also very much embedded in her personality. Her alluring eyes and feminine charm can pinpoint most weaknesses in men and older members of the community and city. She is passionate, creative, and young at heart.

Daughter of Matthias and Aubrianna Winters

Guinevere is tall and strongly built like her father, but possesses the feminine features of her late mother. She stands at about 5'9", has long ashen blonde hair, and fierce blue eyes. Her jaw is slightly squared and accompanied by luscious lips. She has her father's long nose and stern brow line, but her mother's rosy cheeks and delicate blonde lashes. Guinevere usually intricately braids her hair into a half-ponytail and adds in the few wildflowers picked for her by strangers or wandering peasant children. She wears the noble dresses provided to her by her royal family, but always adds a light layer of specially made chain mail beneath her bodice. She also wears hunting boots rather than the frilly shoes from the palace.

~Personality~
Guinevere is bold and oppositional. She was raised in a royal home and taught by the finest of scholars for most of her life. From this she gained her vast knowledge and hunger to better herself. After her mother's death, Guinevere became calloused and emotionally guarded. She does not base her decisions on feelings and tends to think logically and leave everything to reasoning. Her father's insistence on treating her like a lady pushed Guinevere to seek out equality among men and women. She demanded to be trained privately in combat strategies and practiced battle techniques secretly in her spare time. She is skilled on horseback and can handle a hunting bow with great accuracy.

~Weapons~

Guinevere carries a valuable Hunting Bow she purchased from a notable guild of assassins in Carhaise's black market.

~Relations~
King Leodegrance who served Uther Pendragon and kept the Round Table for him.

~History~
Young Arthur began garnering support early for his foreboding war with King Rience. It was during one of these escapades that he met Guinevere's father and offered to defend his kingdom, Carhaise, from Rience's growing army. King Leodegrance had served under Arthur's blood father and had great admiration for the young boy's spirit and innate sense of leadership. Guinevere was betrothed to Arthur at this time as an act of gratitude. Guinevere protested the arrangement and insisted on her intentions to fight for her kingdom's freedom. Her father reluctantly asked her betrothed to let his daughter leave with him and his supporters to keep her mind away from the strife and misfortunes in her own kingdom. Arthur agreed, but Guinevere's desire to protect and serve only strengthened as they traveled throughout the land.

☼Appearance☼

Jorie

Jorie is 4’11” and is not expected to grow much more throughout her life. Her petite figure is outfitted in a simple pair of black cotton undergarments, with a tawny makeshift apron dress to top them off. She wears a gear belt snugly around her tiny waist, which contains trainer’s equipment and an assortment of other miscellaneous items. Her hair is the color of sunflower petals and streams like a river of gold down to the small of her back. Jorie’s thick bangs tease the tips of her long eyelashes, especially after removing her signature sun hat. The flouncy hat was made by Jorie and is garnished by a pair of Pokémon feathers on the left side. A black satin ribbon holds the feathers in place. Jorie’s emerald eyes accompany her fair skin, and her nose bears a small notched scar at the tip of the bridge. She wandered too close to an overprotective Spearow's nest as a child. Her infectious smile is Jorie’s best physical feature.

☼Personality☼
Jorie is possibly the most optimistic, energetic, and giggly inhabitant in the Orre Region. Despite her painful past, this girl’s foundation is forged from the most stable sense of self. Her smile is constantly visible, and the brightness of her eyes seldom fades away. She is extremely compassionate and has a gift for finding the inherent “good” in everyone. Jorie’s high level of curiosity has landed her in many a challenging situation, but it is matched by her quick wit and intuitiveness. She can be rather naïve at times, but has an uncanny understanding of sensitivity. Jorie knows when to speak and when to keep her mouth shut. She also knows how to wheedle her way in and out of almost any situation. She hums and whistles often, even if it's only with her partner Maren, and is consistently on the move. Her enthusiasm for life and adventure seem to know no end. Although Jorie’s personality can be quite overwhelming to some, she is genuine and loyal to those she holds close to her heart.

☼History☼
Jorie's mother had her at the ripe age of eighteen. The meager rations she was able to acquire were given directly to little Jorie. In many circumstances, their survival depended on stealth, thievery, and a dishonesty in both words and actions. When Jorie was seven years old, her mother left her at the shrine to Celebi in Relic Forerst and never returned. Little is know about what happened to Miss Fritzgig, but officers were able to recover the young woman's identification card and a scrap of bloodied blouse from the crime scene.

Alone and afraid, Jorie wandered aimlessly between the Relic Forest and Agate Village for several days until people began to notice her pattern. One of the officers assigned to her mother's case took particular interest in Jorie. This woman, Officer Beckett, began building a relationship with the girl and took to her almost instantaneously. Beckett was an unmarried woman who had never anticipated children of her own, but something stood out about little Jorie. She took her under her wing and into her home in Agate Village.

Jorie bounced back from the tragedy quickly, and Beckett was eager to teach her everything she knew about the region of Orre and Pokémon training. Although Beckett served as a surrogate parent for the girl, Jorie still insisted upon living on her own for the most part. When she was twelve, Jorie began working for a local berry farmer and paid rent to live in his humble guest house. Most people regarded an independent twelve year old as peculiar, but Beckett found everything about Jorie extremely admirable. Most in Agate Village mistook Beckett as Jorie's older sister, and Jorie preferred it this way. Jorie continued to perform odd jobs for anyone who was willing to hire her from the village. She soon became a beloved asset in the community and snuggled into place among the people.

Maren is an enchanting little fellow with a heart of gold. He serves as a personal protector and irreplaceable friend to Jorie. Don’t let his incredibly soft and fluffy outside fool you, Maren is a fierce opponent in battle! He packs a paralyzing punch and has great stamina. Maren can be stubborn and indignant at times, but typically follows orders without question. Jorie and Maren stumbled upon each other in Relic Forest. Maren was the runt in a herd of Mareep used to keep the generators outside of Agate village active. His size was actually an advantage, due to the fact that more electricity was generated in his small body and at a faster rate, but he was constantly bullied by his "comrades". Maren strayed from the herd one evening and into Relic Forest. There, he noticed a small girl bundled at the foot of the shrine in the center of the forest. When Jorie awoke, she immediately noticed the warmth rushing through her skin. Maren had cuddled up comfortably beside her and was sleeping peacefully. Since then, Maren has faithfully followed Jorie like the "lost sheep" he is.
