File J-P-4297: Johanna Parker] [center] [img]https://66.media.tumblr.com/b09fd7b9c8caca57221b8fc3e779cdd5/tumblr_pnwgllCqUz1y60hcpo2_540.gif[/img] [url=https://fontmeme.com/calligraphy-fonts/][img]https://fontmeme.com/permalink/190526/e5e4e87fd7fa1e336fa93f82e2ffd277.png[/img][/url] [/center] [color=FF0000][b]Name |[/b][/color] Johanna "Jo" Parker [color=FF0000][b]Alias |[/b][/color] Sabrecat [color=FF0000][b]Age |[/b][/color] 24 (DOB: 1/4/05) [color=FF0000][b]Gender |[/b][/color] Female [color=FF0000][b]Appearance |[/b][/color] Height: 5'5" Weight: 120 lbs. Hair/eye color: Red/brown Build: Lean, athletic [color=FF0000][b]Notoriety |[/b][/color] Wanted [color=FF0000][b]Class/Level |[/b][/color] Metamorphic / [color=0054a6]Blue[/color] [color=FF0000][b]Abilities |[/b][/color] It is the belief of N.O.V.A. officers and Variant experts that Johanna Parker can manipulate the density of her body down to the molecular level. She seems to be able to use this ability in a variety of ways, both offensively and defensively. By increasing her body's density, Johanna can make herself both harder and heavier; this increases her offensive capabilities, while also making herself more durable. However, Johanna can also [i]reduce[/i] her density to the point that she becomes nearly intangible (henceforth referred to as "phasing"). This allows her to move through solid objects (including people) or avoid oncoming attacks. Johanna has demonstrated a decent degree of control over this ability, as she is capable of manipulating both her entire body as well as individual parts of it. She has been seen switching between the two rather quickly, and has also used both states simultaneously. However, this ability does appear to come with limitations. For one, increasing her density makes Johanna move much slower, depending on how much she increases it by. She is also not necessarily impervious to harm in this state, even with such a highly dense body; she is merely more durable. On the other side of the spectrum, intangibility renders her unable to inflict any real damage to a person or object. Moreover, while her intangibility makes her difficult to harm, energy-based attacks and explosions have injured her in the past. Johanna can also control the densities of objects (hence the Class 6 label), but to a limited extent, and only through physical contact. These objects usually have to be rather compact and light enough for her to carry. This mostly applies to things like Johanna's clothing or small weapons and objects, and seems to work mostly the same way as the density of her own body. However, making an object too dense would make it too heavy for her to lift; conversely, decreasing an object's density too much would make her unable to hold it. She does not seem capable of controlling the densities of other people, but it is not outside the realm of possibility. [hider=Officer Account: Excerpt from File J-P-4297-29] [color=0072bc]"...When we engaged the Variant, she seemed...surprised by our appearance. After a brief physical confrontation with [color=ed1c24][REDACTED][/color], the Variant phased through the floor. Upon pursuit by M.A.D. officers, she continued to phase through the walls and floors to escape. I attempted to restrain her, which she physically resisted; she phased through my body, then struck at the back of my head..."[/color] [/hider] [hider=Officer Account: Excerpt from File J-P-4297-28] [color=0072bc]"I encountered the Variant in a Midtown alley, as she was fleeing from M.A.D. officers. As I reached to grab her, my hand went through her left arm while she struck me with her right; she managed to fracture my jaw. The Variant shoved me against the alley wall, and when I tried to resist, she suddenly felt several hundred pounds heavier. Strangely, she apologized for injuring me, then fled."[/color] [/hider] [center][color=FF0000][u][b][Gear][/b][/u][/color][/center] [color=FF0000][b]Attire |[/b][/color] In all encounters with Johanna Parker, she has been seen wearing a form-fitting black bodysuit [SEE: [url=https://66.media.tumblr.com/426700a68930f021b3d3fc678efc641f/tumblr_pod8gfHtIk1va1j7ko1_540.gif]SURVEILLANCE FOOTAGE[/url]] that appears to be flexible and accommodates her Variant abilities. She also has some sort of black cat-like mask [SEE: [url=https://66.media.tumblr.com/332b39c69820cf2582087107eaf5a9ec/tumblr_plggcthohq1qf5hjqo4_500.gif]SURVEILLANCE FOOTAGE[/url]] that she wears over her eyes, despite her identity being known. Her everyday attire is unknown, but according to her mother, Johanna has an affinity for red clothing [SEE: [u]File J-P-4297-02[/u]]. [color=FF0000][b]Armament/Equipment |[/b][/color] According to both witness accounts and M.A.D. reports, Johanna Parker has a set of Omni-Lens fitted into her mask. It is believed that they aid her vision; she seems unhindered by dark environments, indicating her Omni-Lenses likely have thermal imaging and/or night vision capabilities. In some instances, Johanna Parker has been noted to speak into an earpiece of some kind; however, this appears to be rare for her. In terms of weaponry, Johanna has a pair of red gauntlets fitted with claws [SEE: [url=https://image.myanimelist.net/ui/IyCyB_MNLjlN_v_IAAe2_ruGYxPZZwKCeDCbckQZIc6SmY-WiL4G4trRZJHYNhLbufsbnTwaSHQFKYrz-cNv5iDSa_PBD_cUIJkgS0PZvNRtFWfaUffVx1dATwJhgycN]CGI RENDERING][/url] The intention is to evoke the image of a cat, hence her alias, "Sabrecat." [center][color=FF0000][u][b][Temperament & Lifestyle][/b][/u][/color][/center] [color=FF0000][b]Affiliation |[/b][/color] Pariah Underground (suspected) [color=FF0000][b]Alignment |[/b][/color] Revolutionary [color=FF0000][b]Personality/Habits |[/b][/color] The exact details of Johanna Parker's temperament are unknown. According to her parents-who have not seen her in six years-she is very opinionated, and prone to argumentative fits. She has a tendency to assume she's right, unless proven otherwise, leading her to be somewhat dismissive of others. In general, she's very independent, often reluctant to ask for help. She cares little what others think of her, with no qualms about speaking her mind; this blunt honesty is apparently a defining trait of hers. Johanna's parents also indicated that she can be rather impatient, and gets frustrated when things don't go her way. She can be very petty and vengeful, especially when she feels wronged, with little regard for the consequences. It is worth noting that Johanna's mother vouched for her daughter's character, despite the circumstances. She stated that Johanna is someone who can be trusted; she is a dependable friend who can be relied upon, even in bad situations. Johanna is apparently very ambitious, with an unstoppable drive to seek out her goals. She has a strong-if misguided-sense of right and wrong, and does not actually want to hurt people. [hider=Linda Parker's Account: Excerpt from File J-P-4297-02] [color=0072bc]"Jo, she...she's a good person. You call her a criminal, and maybe that's true, but you have to believe me. She is [i]good.[/i] She didn't have a lot of friends growing up, but the friends she did have? She would do anything for them. One of her friends-a girl named Tabitha-got kicked out by her parents when they found out she was dating a girl. Jo let Tabitha stay in her room for two months, in [i]her[/i] bed. No questions asked. And-and-I think Jo genuinely believes she's doing the right thing. That's all she's [i]ever[/i] tried to do."[/color] [/hider] [color=FF0000][b]Occupation/Trade |[/b][/color] Criminal [color=FF0000][b]Skills/Talents |[/b][/color] All confrontations with Johanna Parker have resulted in her speedy escape. She seems to avoid direct confrontation with M.A.D. officers, though she has demonstrated some proficiency in hand-to-hand combat. She has also demonstrated impressive feats of athleticism and flexibility, aiding in her evasion of any M.A.D. officers. [hider=Officer Account: Excerpt from File J-P-4297-03] [color=0072bc]"We received an alert from one of our surveillance drones of possible Variant activity in Midtown. Some kind of break-in at [color=ed1c24][REDACTED][/color] tech firm. The alert indicated that one lone Variant, a female, had slipped right through a wall and into the building. When my squad rolled in, there were no signs of forced entry. We did find the Variant-Sabrecat, or whatever she calls herself-trying to flee. She jumped from a desk, then swung off a light fixture-you know, the kind of shit gymnasts do? At the Olympics?-and phased into the next room. After that, she was just...gone."[/color] [/hider] [hider=Officer Account: Excerpt from File J-P-4297-06] [color=0072bc]"...When I engaged the Variant in direct combat, she was...much faster than I'd initially anticipated. She had these red claws on her hands, and she was effective with them. When I attempted to restrain her, my hands just went right through her. But when she returned blows at me, she hit as hard as a rock. As soon as I was down, she fled."[/color] [/hider] [color=FF0000][b]Family |[/b][/color] Jonathan Parker (Brother, deceased) | Linda Parker (Mother, alive) | Christian Parker (Father, alive) | [color=FF0000][b]Background |[/b][/color] Based on the accounts of Johanna Parker's parents, in conjunction with those of past friends, teachers, and neighbors, N.O.V.A. has constructed the following background: Johanna Parker was born on January 4, 2105, to Linda and Christian Parker in uptown New Haven. Supposedly, the Parkers were fairly well-off, and Johanna seemed to be a normal girl as a child. She had a particularly close relationship with Jonathan Parker, her older brother; the two attended the same local elementary and high schools, and walked home together every day [SEE: [u]File J-P-4297-02[/u]]. Johanna was not particularly sociable, but did have several close friends throughout her time in grade school. Apparently taking after her brother's interest in athletics, Johanna took up gymnastics starting at age seven, and later began long-distance track and field at age twelve. It is believed that Johanna's participation in both these sports is the source of her athletic abilities [SEE: [u]File J-P-4297-17[/u]] Johanna's Variant status was disclosed to N.O.V.A. by her parents when, at age fourteen, she avoided a speeding car by phasing [SEE: [u]File J-P-4297-04[/u]] through it. This incident occurred in a high-traffic intersection, resulting in Johanna's Variant status quickly becoming public knowledge among her peers. As a result, Johanna became something of a pariah at her high school; according to a former classmate, some students were "discouraged" by their parents from associating with her. According to Linda Parker, Johanna began to express resentment for anti-Variant politicians and public figures during this time [SEE: [u]File J-P-4297-02[/u]]. Johanna's academic performance began to decline, and she became much more irritable. On June 14, 2121, Johanna and her brother were attacked by anti-Variant "activists" outside of a local movie theater [SEE: [u]File J-P-4297-19[/u]]. Jonathan Parker was killed in the attack, while Johanna was left with only minor injuries. While their assailants were all charged and incarcerated, Linda Parker stated that Johanna was left traumatized by the incident, and began to express "radicalized" political viewpoints about anti-Variant sentiments, as well as the treatment of Variants by the government. She did manage to graduate from high school, but only at her father's behest [SEE: [u]File J-P-4297-02[/u]]. Christian Parker indicated that Johanna began to steal money from them, even using her Variant abilities to do so. In 2123, just after turning eighteen, Johanna "ran away" from home. After this point, her exact whereabouts are unknown, as well as what may have led to her criminal activities [SEE: [u]File J-P-4297-05[/u]]. [/hider]
