[b]Name and/or Alias:[/b] Elise Amsel

[b]Age:[/b] 28

[b]Sex:[/b] Female

[b]Occupation:[/b] None. Used to be a scientist, developing new technology

[b]Race and Origin:[/b] Human, born in Germany. Currently resides in New York.

[b]Appearance:[/b] Elise is a dark brown haired and bluish green eyed woman standing at about 5’10. She is built lean, though not skinny, and has long legs and sturdy shoulders. She has a strong jaw and high, prominent cheek bones, which tend to become the center of attention when she smiles. Her hair is generally done wavy and she never uses make-up because she’s terrible with it. 

[b]Equipment:[/b] She always carries a device with her, which she simply calls “Abal”, that is capable of identifying one’s energy signature with a unique combination of 20 numbers, which in turn identifies what species they are. The device is thick and rectangular, with a small screen. The entire device is no longer than five inches.

[b]Abilities:[/b] Elise can manipulate electricity to a great extent, but is somewhat limited to only being able to use electrical sources around her. Although she is capable of generating her own source of electricity using her spirit energy, her spiritual capacity is severely under-developed and doing so can at best cause fatigue—at worst cause death. 

[b]History:[/b] Elise was born into a family of science and due to her great great grandfather, Harald Amsel, being credited as having discovered magic, she also grew up with the expectation of mastering some form of magic. Although she showed great promise in excelling at both at a young age, she didn’t have much time in her early years to develop a passion for it. It wasn’t until her training in magic began that she realized what she wanted to focus on. She was being trained in many forms of magic, but when she came across elemental manipulation and got her hands on electricity, she was hooked. It felt totally different and much more compelling to her than anything else she had ever done; she focused on training in that form entirely, against her father’s wishes to be more well-rounded.

On the other hand, she followed her father’s expectations to be a scientist and assisted in developing ways to fuse technology with magic, but at the age of 25 she came across something that changed her life. A device crashed into her backyard one day and when she went to retrieve it she couldn’t make out what it was or what it was supposed to do. Upon further investigation, she realized that the technology was far more advanced than anybody on Earth could have conceived of, despite the device being smaller than the palm of her hand. After concluding that the device was meant to determine what Earth looked like and what resources it had, along with the fact that some alien planet must have sent it, she was shunned by the scientific community, including her father, who didn’t want to be associated with her. For the next three years, she dedicated her life to finding out if there were more of these devices or if creatures from the planet who sent it were already walking amongst them. In those years, she developed a proto-type of a device that could detect the energy signature of any being, which varied depending on what kind of creature they were. She has yet to find an alien using it.
