[b]Name:[/b] Marie Jasper

[b]Codename:[/b] Epsilon

[b]Age:[/b] 26

[b]Power:[/b] [u]Light Manipulation.[/u] She can bend and shift light particles creating elaborate and realistic illusions, including making herself and other objects invisible. This power also enables her to create holographic projections that can imitate the likeness of both objects and people. She cannot produce her own source of light without using significant amounts of personal energy which weakens her immensely. She prefers to manipulate light from preexisting sources, which are anything from sunlight to LED. However, without a significant source of light, she is vulnerable and if she has to rely on her personal energy for too long she will pass out. She has thus cultivated a fear of the dark.

[b]Personality:[/b] Epsilon is soft spoken and observant, often able to get right to the heart of a matter. She is extremely perceptive and analytical, making her a bit difficult to get along with. She is an avid truth seeker and the pursuit of knowledge is the most exciting to her. She is not much of a talker but enjoys listening and thus instills a sense of trust in those who talk to her. She is very active and has a hard time standing still. She can be extremely restless and distant emotionally, and it is difficult to understand what she's thinking and feeling. She has a convoluted justice over mercy belief system and finds it easy to kill as long as she can rationalize it in some way to herself. She reveals little to those around her and what she does reveal is an extremely calculated image. This makes her very chameleon-esque and very successful in different social situations - though not entirely authentic. She is clever and creative, often solving problems in roundabout ways. Because she is so focused on analyzing others, it's hard for her to be honest with herself making her a somewhat cold and unsympathetic person. However, once she comes to an understanding with someone and they gain her trust, she can be very loyal. 

[b]Strengths and Weaknesses:[/b] She is extremely creative and improvisational, making her a valuable asset in a situation with limited resources. She has the mind of an engineer and can often invent her way out of a problem with anything from a rubber band to parts of her semi-automatic weapon. Though she's a good marksman and has a range of experience with a variety of firearms, she is not good at hand to hand combat and will almost always be overpowered.Her small stature is an advantage when it comes to agility and speed, but when she's faced with multiple attackers, she must rely on her brain and not her strength. She is not a natural leader and tends to follow her own whims with disregard to her team. She faces stressful situations well, but prefers thinking fast as opposed to thinking ahead which can lead to her making mistakes. 

[b]History:[/b] She was one of Project Quartz's first recruits and the first subject to survive the procedure. She is also Dr. Eirene Jasper's daughter. Thus she has been in the facility for a much longer time than the other recruits. She has learned the ropes and gotten to understand the politics that exist within Obsidian. 

She grew up estranged from her mother and was actually extremely resentful of her. Her mother was extremely neglectful and spent her days working and her evenings out, often forgetting about her in the process. Epsilon was essentially free to do whatever she wanted but remained a promising student throughout secondary school and had good prospects for college. However, she dropped out of secondary school after growing restless and seeking an outlet. She turned her brilliance in school towards arson and began orchestrating creative ways to set fires and cause explosions. She was eventually apprehended and was given an ultimatum - join the military or go to jail. 

She chose to join the Marines and served three years as an enlisted Sergeant. When she withdrew, her mother was waiting for her. Though she had no special feelings for her daughter, Dr. Eirene Jasper identified Epsilon's skills and training as being a perfect fit for Project Quartz. Epsilon, seeing no other options for herself, agreed. 

Though she has been at Obsidian for longer than most, she is no more experienced in the field. Because she was the first Operative to survive, she has been put through rigorous testing in order to improve the procedure for the other recruits. She still harbors resentment towards her mother and refuses to interact with her on anything more than a professional level. 

[b]Other:[/b] Epsilon will ultimately serve as a guide to Obsidian life for the rest of the recruits and will be my way of letting everyone in on the way the facility works. Otherwise, she starts at the same level as the rest of characters in this RPG as she has not been given the chance to pursue any missions or further her training solo.
