The report theorises that Vampires gain power as they age and while this is consistent with what the subject has described, there is as of yet no evidence to back it up.[/color][/indent] [color=DimGray][b]◄ Skills of Note ►[/b][/color] [indent][color=gainsboro]Agent Ford's condition means that many of her skills are unknown to her, and therefore to us, but she is rapidly rediscovering them in an almost instinctual way. For example, when given an ink pen, she began to write with a steady, elegant cursive hand and, without thinking it strange, easily slipped into decorating part of the page with calligraphy.[/color] [indent][color=gainsboro][color=dimgray]► Cartography[/color] The subject has shown the ability to locate themselves on a map with unerring accuracy, even after only being shown the merest glimpse of the outside world. This would be attributed to her condition but others with the same condition display no such unnatural sense of their own location. Along with that, when asked to draw a map of location seen only once or in partial detail, the subject's results are near perfect and have distant estimates that are correct almost to the centimetre. A researcher has theorised this may be linked to the Vampiric enhanced senses but this reviewer believes it is more likely to be a skill picked up earlier in her existence. [color=dimgray]► Covert Entering and Exiting[/color] Agent Ford has thus far not shown the slightest interest in trying to leave our custody but during the [color=Black]███████[/color] incident, she left her room without alerting the security team or triggering the alarms and was only discovered when she knocked on the door to the security team's room. As you may recall, it was this incident that caused her threat rating and usefulness to The Project to be reassessed. When asked later how she knew to avoid the motion sensors and cameras, she replied she simply did what she felt was the right way to do things. [color=dimgray]► Culinary Preparation[/color] When given access to the kitchens, the subject displayed a truly incredible degree of skill in preparing meals, not to mention a surprising degree of enthusiasm for someone who would never eat them. Despite not knowing how or where she learned them, the subject has several dozen recipes (largely of Germanic or French origin) memorised. She has also proved to be skilled at, if reluctant to, follow preset recipes or improvise new ones. [color=dimgray]► Ink-Based Artistry[/color] The subject shows extreme familiarity and fondness for the use of ink pens and has, as mentioned, a very distinctive and elegant writing hand. When given access to the proper materials, she seems to enjoy drawing and doodling, filling pages with decorative illustrations or eerily accurate sketches of the rooms of [color=Black]████████[/color] Facility.[/color][/indent][/indent] [center][hr][img]http://i.imgur.com/bZstyJV.gif[/img][hr] [img]http://fontmeme.com/embed.php?text=Psychological%20Profile&name=MODENINE.ttf&size=35&style_color=696969[/img][/center] [color=DimGray][b]◄ Mental Evaluation ►[/b][/color] [indent][color=gainsboro]Given that subject's amnesia and condition, she is incredibly healthy, mentally speaking. She displays the ability to empathise and bond with others, to [/color][/indent] [color=DimGray][b]◄ Physical Evaluation ►[/b][/color] [indent][/indent] [color=DimGray][b]◄ Biography ►[/b][/color] [indent][color=gainsboro]Little is know of the subject's early life, due to several factors. The most obvious is that the subject claims to have no memory of their life and has been unable to share any of the detail with the interviewers tasked with discovering her past, other than her name. It is possible that the subject is faking amnesia but after extensive cross examination, multiple interviews have concluded that the more likely scenario is that she is being wholly honest. The second factor is that there are no records of the subject's birth in any known database accessible by our researchers. It is possible that the subject has either misled us or is mistaken about their name, but it is more likely that they are simply older than the records we are referencing. The last thing the subject remembers with any clarity is being retrieved from a [color=Black]█████[/color] by Agents [color=Black]██████[/color] and [color=Black]██████[/color]. It is unknown whether the trauma of the situation or a previous incident caused her to lose her memories but she has been unable to recall more than snatches since coming under the view of the institute. She has been extremely cooperative with us, seeming to regard her imprisonment and study at [color=Black]█████████ █████████[/color] as a stay at a hotel and those researching or interviewing her as hosts. What follows cannot be taken as fact, as it is entirely supposition and guess work made by this reviewer based on the subject's skills and the few fragmented memories she has shared. Based on her appearance, manner of speech and known recipes, it is guessed that she was born in Western Europe at some point between [color=Black]████[/color] and [color=Black]████[/color], an admittedly wide range. Based off her level of physical maturity and features, her physical age when she contracted Vampirism was likely between 19 and 24. As there is no real evidence as to what caused Agent Ford to lose her memories, this reviewer will hazard no guess as to what caused it.[/color][/indent] [center][hr][img]http://i.imgur.com/Bgaix0c.gif[/img][hr] [img]http://fontmeme.com/embed.php?text=Trivia&name=MODENINE.ttf&size=45&style_color=696969[/img][/center] [indent]This section has been written to allow for new handlers, interviewers and operatives to establish a rapport with the subject without too much difficulty.[/indent] [color=DimGray][b]◄ Likes ►[/b][/color] [indent][color=gainsboro]▲ Conversation, the subject enjoys listening and talking to others. ▲ Art, she has frequently expressed and demonstrated an interest in creating art. ▲ Cooking, the subject seems to take genuine pleasure in preparing food for others. ▲ 'Reality TV', Agent Ford follows several dozen game and competition shows. ▲ Loud music, along with the dance/violent motion known as moshing.[/color][/indent] [color=DimGray][b]◄ Dislikes ►[/b][/color] [indent][color=gainsboro]▼ Silence, Agent Ford clearly feels uncomfortable when things go quiet. ▼ Travelling, the subject has made it abundantly clear that she dislikes journeys. ▼ Reading, she has rejected every single book offered to her as a distraction. ▼ Films, the subject does not seem to take to fictional characters as she does to people. ▼ Uncleanness, Agent Ford's normally polite demeanour breaks when she encounters the unwashed.[/color][/indent] [hider=Vampires] [img]http://fontmeme.com/embed.php?text=Vampires&name=MODENINE.ttf&size=45&style_color=696969[/img] [indent][color=gainsboro]The post-mortem condition commonly referred to as Vampirism manifests itself in several ways, most of which are widely referenced in mythology, folklore, literature and pop culture. The first is that those infected are no longer, medically speaking, alive. Their lungs do not inhale or exhale, their flesh is cold and their cells do not repair from damage in the conventional sense. The second is equally well known; vampires need no sustenance other than human blood[sup][1][/sup], which they extract via retractable fangs. Finally, they are extremely sensitive to sunlight and suffer extreme damage, ranging from a disfigurement of the skin to cellular collapse, depending on how long they are exposed to natural sunlight[sup][2][/sup]. Most other popular 'facts' about Vampires (they cannot be seen in mirrors, cannot cross running water and are repelled by garlic or the Christian cross) are false and seem to originate from historical bias or overblown misunderstanding. While the cost of not being able to freely travel under the sun might seem high, Vampires receive a number of benefits from their condition. Most obviously, the incisors of the vampire at least double in length, sharpen and manifest the ability to react across the roof of the mouth. When puncturing a human throat or other, they are also capable of siphoning blood like a syringe. When fresh from a feeding[sup][3][/sup], Vampires exhibit speed, strength, durability, reaction time and sensory sensitivity roughly triple the human optimum[sup][4][/sup]. Over time, these improvements fade back to normal until they are renewed by a new feeding. And while their cells do not heal in a conventional sense, fresh blood restores them to whatever state they were in when the victim was infected. This means, for example that a Vampire infected at age 21 with severe facial burning would retain that state of body for the next fifty years, youthful state and disfigurements in tact[sup][5][/sup]. Wounding a Vampire appears to be no more difficult than wounding a human, with the notable exception of the sun. However, Vampires can regain their previous states by retiring to a catatonic state similar to death, though the use of coffins as resting places seems to be a matter of preference. This healing coma is similar to sleep (closing ones eyes seems to be a prerequisite) except that the body is utterly indistinguishable from death during the period of time, and the Vampires appear aware of everything around them via senses other than sight. The most effective way to kill a Vampire, other than shackling them to a roof at dawn, seems to be the use of fire of beheading. Guns are largely ineffectual unless they are of a high enough caliber to sever limbs or cave in the skull. Stakes to the heart seem to have no unusual effect whatsoever, nor does garlic or signs of faith. Poison, asphyxiation, electrocution and bludgeoning can all also be discounted.[/color][/indent] [hider=Footnotes] [indent][color=gainsboro][sup][1]: There is some debate in the community responsible for categorising these 'para-humans' on why exactly only human blood is acceptable and only from a living host. Two groups of thought have emerged and most of our researchers are on one side of the other. The first proposes that a byproduct of higher cognitive thought is the creation of an as of yet undetectable compound that is present in the blood and which can provide an alternative to nutrients and oxygen, though this doesn't explain why harvested blood is not effective. The other group suggests that the act of feeding is tied to the spirit or soul of a human, hence why animals and other substances cannot act as substitutes, though this is an extremely theoretical proposition. Personally, this reviewer believes that both parties are saying the same thing different ways. [2]: Tests indicate that although there is little physical difference between the light produced by man made contraptions and that transmitted by the sun, only the latter causes a violent reaction in the bodies of Vampires. No tests have indicated why this should be so and few of the researchers have noteworthy hypotheses. [3]: With so few test subjects, researchers have been unable to determine any links between the nature of prey or predator and how long a feeding will sustain a Vampire. For Agent Ford, one feeding lasts two weeks, give or take a day. Tied to the debates over the importance of human blood, there is an ongoing discussion about why some humans seem to offer more effective blood than others for a Vampiric feeding. [4]: By this, researchers refer to the apex of human physical capabilities for subjects of the same age, size, sex and approximate lifestyle. It is extremely difficult to be precise as this is a case of incomparables and is in any case difficult to study, but superior by a factor of three is a figure widely agreed upon by our researchers.
