Draft of my character... [hider=Dana Halabi] [center][img]https://image.ibb.co/b4ADfp/IMG_0001.jpg[/img][/center] [list][*][u]Name:[/u] Dana Halabi [*][u]Age:[/u] 24 [*][u]Appearance:[/u] Stands 5”9” with tanned olive-white skin, long dark brown hair, and green eyes. She has the lean muscular body of a warrior, and a level of grace that seems otherworldly at times. Though Dana is Egyptian by birth, she can easily pass as a citizen of nearly any Arab country. [*][u]Personality: [/u] Dana is a dogged investigator, and is committed to fighting the Setties and their allies wherever they may be, However, she can also be a willful and independent individual (much like any cat). She is also a survivor, with a quick wit and dry sense of humor. She tends to be the quiet one in the crowd, always looking around for trouble, and trusts her gut when she feels something is wrong. It has saved her more than once. Dana tries to keep most people at arms length, is suspicious of nearly everybody, and does not suffer fools lightly. This is an emotional self-protection mechanism Dana built, but it can be pierced, given time, trust, and patience. She enjoys good music, and food and hates getting wet beyond what is needed to clean herself. Dana also has a habit of feeding and takeing care of stray cats that live near her apartment. They, in turn, keep her apprised of what is going on in and around the neighborhood. [*][u]History: [/u] An orphan street child, by age 12 Dana had been in and out of various charity orphanages in Alexandria, Egypt nearly all her life. Caught in the act of pickpocking, by member of the Society of Osiris, instead of being taken to the police, Dana was taken to the local chapter house instead, because “there was something different about her.” It turned out that Dana was a “lost kitten” of the goddess Bastet. Her parents had been members and agents of the goddess, but all contact with them had been lost years ago and were presumed killed by the Society’s arch foes, the Settites. Swearing revenge against those who had killed her parents, Dana and Bastet agreed on a contract where the goddess would make Dana a hunter and warrior against Set and his allies in return for a lifetime of service against Set. Dana was then trained and schooled extensively by the Society to undertake her mission by private tutors and contacted members of the Egyptian security services. “Graduating” this grueling training regime at the age of 20, Dana has since become one of the Society’s top agents in the Middle East and Europe. Recently, she was ordered to California by the Society to learn and, if possible, act against a cabal of settites looking to gain a foothold in the Western United States. [*][u]Affiliation: [/u] Egyptian Pantheon [*][u]Level:[/u] low-mid [*][u]Primary Contracted Party:Bastet[/u] [*][u]Abilities:[/u] Feline Grace: Dana’s agility, flexibility, dexterity, and bodily coordination are enhanced to levels slightly beyond that of an Olympic gold medalist. She also has an extremely well developed sense of balance, positioning of her limbs, and center of balance. She can, for example make safe landing after falling over 50 feet. She can also climb and otherwise move effortlessly and smoothly on angled and/or vertical surfaces such as branches, rocks, walls, etc. Her reaction and response time are also much faster than a normal human. Feline Strength and Endurance: Dana’s skin, bones, and muscle tissues have become denser and super-hard compared to a normal human, and can resist strikes, punches and blunt trauma. She has no defense against piercing damage, such as bullets or blades. Dana can lift up to a half ton of weight with her enhanced musculature, make standing leaps as far as 30 feet or jump as high as 15 feet. She is capable of functioning at full capacity for 12 hours before needing rest. She can also hold her breath for approximately 5 minutes without any ill effects. Nine Lives: Dana can heal physical trauma up to 5x faster than a normal human. This ability extends to poisons and asphyxiating gasses that cause physical damage to the body. Her healing ability does not extend to regrowing limbs, organs, or restoring her to life if she is killed, and she still needs to breath, eat and sleep. Cat’s Eyes: Dana’s eyesight is enhanced to feline levels and she can see in near total darkness as if it was regular daylight. Sneaky Cat: Dana is skilled in moving quietly across most surfaces and remaining visually undetected. Voice of Bastet: Dana has the ability to communicate with and control various cats, though she prefers to ask, rather than control. [*][u]Skills:[/u] Tutoring and private schooling by the Society gave Dana an education level equivalent to a college graduate, with an emphasis on classical topics such as history, literature, language, and science. She is a black belt in several different schools of hand-to-hand combat both with and without weapons. She is very skilled in the use of the Philippine balisong knife. Dana was also extensively trained in the use of firearms, particularly pistols (her carry pistol is a Browning Hi-Power). She is a crack shot, but a bit rusty. Dana was also trained in the arts of lock picking, cracking security systems, surveilance, counter surveillance, and computer operations. She also remains very streetwise from her time on the streets in Alexandria, and is still a skilled pick pocket. Dana owns a Ninja-H2 as her primary form of transportation when not at work, and she can ride fairly well. Dana knows how to speak, read and write in multiple languages including Arabic (in multiple regional dialects), English, French, and Spanish. [*][u]Other:[/u] Is undercover as an assistant to the Lebanese owner of a local art gallery, who also happens to be an agent of the Society of Osiris. She lives in a small but comfortable apartment nearby with Isis, a female tuxedo cat and Neith, a female pure black cat. Several members of local police and low level criminals are paid informants on criminal activity in town. [/list][/hider]
