Whizz. Sizzle. Thud.

A beam of energy and then the smell of smouldered rotten flesh permeated the air. The groups of dead that Anora and Ramera gathered together all met the same fate under Jacobs onslaught.

Soon there was a short lull in targets available to group together and Jacob called out to the two working harpies, saying that he would be right back, seconds before he took of down the wall and inside paradise. She didn’t know what he was doing since she was no longer able to see him, but while she looked back she noted the absence of Marcus, who usually never left his post at the gate.

Anora couldn’t blame him for his disappearance, news must have met his ears that Shay had been taken to the Med Center. While she didn’t quite know what it was to like someone in the way that Marcus obviously liked Shay even if he didn’t quite know it himself, she knew that if one of her sisters had been injured in the same way then she would have left her position to be by their side. If she lost one of her sisters-

Anora snapped herself from such thoughts when Jacob reappeared and continued where he left off. Corpses were piling up in the area in front of the wall of Paradise, the three of them were making a sizeable dent in the amount of dead which continued their slow shuffled march forward. By this time the rest of the group of walking corpses had caught up to the stragglers that had moved on ahead, but now lay in partially disintegrated and burnt heaps.

“Ramera! Help me gather this big group together!” She requested to her sister who was at the moment naught more than a few feet to her right. After receiving a response she would join her sister in rounding up the big group.
Unfortunately, just when Anora was about to tell her sister to move away and allow Jacob room to attack the mass of dead, she caught sight of Ravenia making her way through the bodies with a set of beautiful rapiers. Frowning at the sight of The Mother unknowingly foiling the tactical plan of the two harpies and Jacob.

Though slightly miffed about the derailing of the ‘gathering together’ plan, Anora still worried for the young Leaders safety and so from her vantage point in the sky above the group, she used a few of the stone knives which she had managed to equip herself with and took out any dead which got a little too close to Ravenia without her knowledge.

Not too long after, Anora moved her attention to the direction of where something heavy impacted the earth. Tobias had made an appearance in an adaption which was solely created for destruction. His thudding footfalls could clearly be heard as he slowly made his way over to Ravenia. His attacks on the dead clearly revealed his anger, which Anora didn’t really remember seeing before from Paradise’s resident doctor.

Even more corpses piled up yet the group was still rather sizeable and Anora was starting to see that there was less that she would be able to do to help, considering she could only really take out a limited number of targets at a time.

Powerset - Sense Manipulation
Primary function is for espionage. Powersets relate solely to Defensive and Tactical Prowess.
1-Sensory Deprivation. -Class 4-
A temporary ability where a persons sense of sight, smell, hearing, taste, touch, balance and pain can be removed singularly or (with a little more energy put into it,) all altogether.

2- Enhanced Senses. -Class 3-
Occasionally used on others if the situation requires it. Can enhance all of her senses, but only one or two at a time and may become overwhelmed if used for too long.
Enhanced Smell = Can detect specific smells, and locate their origin.
Enhanced Taste = Can detect everything which has been used to create the food/drink and can even distinguish poisons.
Enhanced Sight = Can see with amazing clarity and distance.
Enhanced Hearing = Ears pick up every single sound, and can decipher layer upon layer of noise.
Enhanced Touch = Can feel so acutely that even distant events can be picked up based on vibration.
Enhanced reflexes = Combining Sight and Hearing. Alyssa’s reaction speed increases, allowing her to react instantaneously to what others take more time to react to. Such as bullets, fists and other attacks.

3- Imperceptibility. -Class 7-
An ability only to be used on herself. Alyssa cannot be physically or mentally touched or perceived by another life form. While the space she occupies has no lack of her presence, to all senses, she doesn’t exist. While this works with majority of telepaths the stronger ones are sometimes able to detect her (may on occasion be confused with a ghost). This ability requires a great amount of concentration and sometimes one aspect of the senses isn’t masked, such as smell since she wears perfume. Despite this ability, Alyssa can still be harmed by attacks such as gunfire, fire, explosions etc.

4- Perception distortion. -Class 3-
Effects a persons perception. Used to mask appearances of BPI coworkers who have non human form/feature by warping their appearance in a manner that makes them look like a human based on the on-lookers own reflection. It isn't a mirror image of the onlooker, but the basics of human form; two eyes, two legs, two arms, two ears, one mouth, one nose, eyebrows and hair etc. A different explanation is to say that a civilian knows that the particular BPI agent is there but they just go on unnoticed since they are just another person in a crowd.

Rogue power/s?:
Neurocognitive Deficit AKA Unconsciousness and sleep inducement. Ability can cause a persons upper brain functions to shut down temporarily, causing unconsciousness. Only able to be used through physical touch. Class 2.

____________________________________________
Personality:
Quite the altruist yet rather introverted, Alyssa is not one for direct confrontations and shy’s away from loud and boisterous people. Despite this once she truly warms up to someone she will shower them with her caring side and be ready to provide emotional and practical support at a moment's notice. She is a compassionate listener and has an excellent memory not to retain data and trivia, but to remember people and details about their lives and tends to be very observant, able to pick up the smallest cues, especially when it comes to someone else’s emotional state. Often meticulous to the point of perfectionist as well as practical and organised, Alyssa can always be relied on to get the job done on time and to a high standard, however she has a tendency to underplay her accomplishments, seeing them nothing more than simply part of her duty.

Ancient History // Ancient Lore [+]

Many millennia ago in the time of ancient kings, one empire called the Katharoi (The Pure) sparked a war against neighbouring nations. Unlike most of the wars which were usually about expanding territories and gaining land, this one could more rightly be called a Massacre. Hundreds of people lost their lives through a process of selective elimination. It was said that the Katharoi wished to rid the land of invaders, the things that resided in nightmares, or simply the Otherkin.

Some of the Otherkin were mating with humans and creating half-breeds.It became increasingly harder to distinguish those involved with the Otherkin and so spurred the need to create tests which would reveal a tainted half-breeds for what they really were. Traitors and vermin. Thus the burning at the stake, and weighted down drownings.

King Orathik did not always emerge victorious from encounters with the Otherkin and so searched for pure humans who had rare bloodlines which allowed them to do things that no normal human could do. These people became his knights. Together they scoured the land, exterminating the un-pure. However, the display of the powers that his knights possessed made him realise that he himself was useless against Otherkin which displayed similar abilities. The King wished to have such power and so it was decreed that his knights were to prove their loyalty by piercing their skin until a drop of blood was able to be collected into a goblet already filled with wine, which the King drank on a daily basis. ((Okay I shall just add that the blood does jack squat for the king. His powers unlocked purely because he was exposed to the knights powers.))

Slowly and by what could have been pure will alone, The King began to take on various abilities and each year continued to grow in strength. More and more of the Otherkin and half-breeds were killed until one day the Otherkin fought back. The Leader of the Retaliation was truly strong and the knights were no match for her. It didn’t take long before King Orathik faced off against her, the fight lasting nearly three full days until finally one was victorious. The Otherkin Retaliation Leader, Mistressa Zarijisha stepped out from the softly glowing smoke with a intricately carved silver locket in the palm of her right hand. Once the smoke cleared the body of the King became visible. His chest was rising a falling in quick succession like a hound who had run for miles. They few of the surviving knights went to his side only to find his skin covered in metallic markings and his open eyes without pupil or iris. Mistressa had taken the kings very spirit and soul, locking it away in the same locket she held in her hand. She along with the locket which became known as Soul Orathik the Katharoi disappeared into the breeze never to be seen again.

The Katharoi movement was adopted into differing nations despite the disbandment of the ruling body and over the years was found to have loose ties to Catharism, the Illuminati, the Freemasons, the Witcher and many other ‘monster’ hunting orders.
