And my Ashlander!

[hider=Mags][b] Full Name[/b]: Magdalene Atwood

  [b] Nicknames/Aliases[/b]:  Mags

 [b]   Age[/b]: 21

    [b]Gender[/b]: Female

      [b] Gift[/b]:  Resurrection - Mags is extremely hard to kill.  When she sustains a normally fatal injury her circulatory system seems to shut down, however her cells are able to function without oxygen for far longer than those of the average individual. Her body's healing process is considerably accelerated and as a result she can recover from what would be fatal injuries within a few hours.  She may still suffer from some effects for several days afterwards, however she is remarkable in that she suffers no long term effects.  If her body is placed somewhere incompatible with life (such as underwater, or buried) then she will not re-animate until her body is moved from there.



[b]Loyalty[/b]: n/a

   [b]  Description[/b]: Mags is a scruffy-looking young woman with a light build and of a pretty middling height, around 5'5. She has dark, curly hair and a heart-shaped face with a short nose and deep-set eyes. Magdalene has added to her wardrobe after her departure from her old faction. She now dresses in numerous layers to try and guard against the elements. An overcoat over a leather jacket over a top, all in moderately different sizes that don't really match the size of the wearer. On her feet are a pair of military issue boots (original owner was considerably past caring about the loss). She had a facemask hung around her neck, partially to guard from dust and ash, partially as a means of disguise, and partially as a way to make post-resurrection a little more presentable.


    [b]Personality[/b]: All that Magdalene does is driven by a certain anarchistic undercurrent to her personality. She loves to take on authority, something that never really gelled well with her Liberty upbringing. All her life the young woman seems to have taken delight in chaos, and it reflects in many aspects of her life. She's untidy, disorganised, easily distracted and hesitant to commit to anything. 

Interpersonally, Magdalene seems quite a friendly type. She's chatty and sociable and seems happy enough to help others. However since her arrival in the wasteland Mags has avoided falling in with any groups for any extended amount of time. She doesn't like forming attachments to people so tends to keep her distance. 
    
   [b] Skills[/b]:  - Survival skills - Despite her rather antagonistic relationship with Liberty, Mags is still a child of the Liberty education system, took several survival trips during her teenage years with youth groups, and learned a lot of the skills she needs. How to make a fire, how to purify water, how to navigate with no discernible landmarks, first aid, and how to find food in a difficult environment.

- Resilient - Mag's powers enhance her healing factor, and also serve to let her keep moving when most people could not. This can alarm people a bit.


   [b] Weaknesses[/b]: 

-No offensive abilities. - Whilst she's not likely to remain dead, Mags' abilities do very little to stop her getting dead in thr first place.

- Loner - Mags' tendency to travel alone in combination with the latter weakness mean she's often a target. 
  
   [b] Brief History:[/b] 

Magdalene Atwood was born into the Liberty faction, and never knew her parents. Her surname, she suspects, was just an arbitrary one, but she's not certain. Without a settled family, Mags grew up raised by the state and hadn't a great deal in the way of role models. From an early age she was rather difficult, seeming to have a problem with authority and following instructions. 

In many ways she was the antithesis of Liberty ideal, someone more invested in pursuing her own interests than working for the benefit of the whole. 

She had something Liberty needed though. Magdalene's powers put her in some of the top rungs of genetics ranking, and the faction was very keen to take advantage of that once she was old enough. Magadalene herself didn't too much appreciate the idea of being valuable for her genes rather than anything she could do, and also became aware of the rather grim selection of jobs available for someone with her powerset. 

It was only a matter of time until something gave, and when, in her late teens, she fell into some legal trouble, Mags took the time to escape the faction. Since then it's been a mixed bag. She'd died a number of times in the interim years...but she was starting to feel like she was getting the hang of it. [/hider]
