She has bright, unnervingly red eyes and a second pair of long rabbit ears that stick up out of her hair. Her left rabbit ear is partially cut off at the top. A small fluffy tail and other minor differences in her bone and organ structure also show signs that she is a human/rabbit hybrid. She stands 5'9 with a slender, athletic build and a small bust. Her skin is light and rather pale and fragile looking, marked with a number of laceration/shrapnel scars across her face, torso, back, and legs mostly centered on the right side of her body. Parsnip is always dressed in a white shirt with uneven sleves and a pair of pink overalls with one shortened legging. A pair of pink colored trainers, usually dirty, cover her feet. Leg pouches and a pink pack pack hang off her body, holding all manner of sharp implements from throwing knives, fire axes, syringes, bolt cutters, and butter knives.

SERIAL MURDERER ON THE LOOSE?[/color][/b][/center] [color=FFC0CB]For the past four years articles like this have become all too common, even given the ever growing popularity of yellow journalism. In the papers and online, reports of MAVERICK agents being horribly killed have shown up in countries across the globe wherever MAVERICK deploys. Even in the places where free press no longer exists and such information is firmly controlled by authoritarian governments, rumors of MAVERICK agents going missing are abound. Naturally such rumors are suppressed in fear of international incident and intervention, making it difficult to discern which disappearances are done by a nation...and which are done by the individual. It is no secret that MAVERICK has made many enemies since their founding in the 1950s. From nomadic rebels in the Jungles of Puru to the seedy underbelly of crime in countless places across the globe, countless people would give nothing more then to see MAVERICK destroyed. However such organizations wish to see MAVERICK destroyed for financial, political, or ideological reasons. Even factoring in the most desperate and power hungry enemies of MAVERICK, nothing seems to justify the horrific killings and public display of corpses that has been gradually escalating over the past couple of years. Yet what if I told you that these killings weren't the work of a gang or rebel group, but a single individual? This is Kathy Reckbeck for "No Stone Unturned" and today we will be looking into the MAVERICK Killer. [center]---[/center] Our story begins almost twenty years ago when the Peach & Stone [also known as P&S] Conglomerate was caught selling living, genetically engineered bio-weapons on the black market by MAVERICK. This discovery led the conglomerate to enter dire financial straights. However they did manage to retain many of their assets due to legal loopholes and investigative failings on MAVERICK's part. The conglomerate still had an unregistered facility equipped with the means to produce bio-weapons and raise then in a large, isolated environment styled after a stretch of woodland. This facility and the equipment within it were causing P&S to hemorrhage money. Unable to sell bio-weapons without ensuring their death as an institution, P&S were left with two options: Sell off the assets and restructure their company into a legitimate business with drastically reduced profit margins. Or take what they had and engage in a wild plan to make them all rich. Being 'good' businessmen they naturally took the second option. Using the media side of their conglomerate P&S began an ambitious project to create the world's most popular children's television show. Their aim was to create a show with such broad reaching appeal and staying power that it would ensure a large stream of revenue for the conglomerate well into the near future. The end result of their efforts was a show that many readers are probably intimately familiar with: "The Parsnip Bunny & Friends Show." First coming on air twenty ago in Canada and the US, the Parsnip Bunny Show was a smash success out of the gate. The premise of the show was simple, always pathetically so. It focused around a young bunny girl named Parsnip living in a small cottage in Cattertown. Over the course of the show Parsnip would make friends, learn lessons, and go through struggles that she ultimately pulled through via the power of friendship. Despite the seemingly juvenile and overly 'family friendly' premise the show was praised for the writing and depth given to the characters. Parsnip, though cute and seemingly devoid of anything that might threaten the g-rating of the show, had a sense of vulnerability and a lack of confidence that she didn't show around her friends. This depth included the entire cast, in particularly the school teacher of the town Learnwright, who had a subtle undertone of cynicism and nihilism to her behavior that seemed inappropriate yet far from unrealistic for the show. It wasn't long before the show was translated into various languages and distributed to other countries across the globe. It become exceptionally popular in the U.S and Japan. Adults well out of the age range of the show became fans and began to make art, stories, and craft theories regarding the actual story and background of the various characters. This proved both beneficial and detrimental to the series as it increased its popularity even further but clashed with the 'kid friendly' image P&S was going for the show...that was being watched by just as many grown men and women. Never the less P&S saw immense financial success with the show. It won a number of awards and became a massive media franchise selling all kind of merchandise. Yet despite the success of the show the TV series abruptly ended four years ago, right before the last episode of Season 20 was aired. Shortly after that the Peach and Stone Conglomerate was broken up due to heinous violation of international laws But I can already hear my readers "But Kathy what in the world does a children's TV show have to do with a murderer?". Well you see hear viewers that this has [i]everything[/i] to do with murder. You see even when the show was first released there was a number of unusual elements about it. There were no actors listed in the credits of the show and the 'writers' credited for the supposed scripts were ghost-writers that didn't actually do any work for the series. No one had any idea who the child and adult actors of the show were, where they came from, or why they weren't being credited for their work. P&S stated that they were keeping the identities of their actors confidential for 'immersion purposes' and assured that they were getting properly compensated. Yet they refused to elaborate beyond that point, going so far as to dodge any further questions about it after the first season. Online hardcore fans of the show noticed odd elements to the various episodes including a surprising attention to detail and continuity to both the characters and Cattertown in general. Visual hiccups in recording equipment and strange dialogue by characters sometimes made the show feel unscripted or downright unprofessional at times, yet added to the realistic feel of things. Some argued that the show felt too real while others online debated that the whole thing was actually a next-generation computer animation project made to look as realistic as possible. Naturally plenty of grim-dark theories sprouted up regarding the series. One particularly popular fan-theory was that the death of Ms.Learnwright, whose in-show death was a heart wrenching moment of the series, was not accidental and that she was in fact murdered. Individuals who brought up these discussions however often found themselves hit with cease and desists with frightening consistency. Never the less theories continued to pop up as the air of mystery around the show grew and persisted well after the show had been canceled. My own investigation into the matter proves that fact is stranger then fiction however. Parsnip Hase and everyone on the show were in fact real. No. They weren't paid actors, they weren't actors at all. They were genetically modified humans spliced with animal DNA, grown and produced by P&S using the equipment left over from their bio-weapon production systems. Parsnip and the others were vat grown, implanted with information, and placed in an isolated environment believing that it was in fact a real town. The characters you knew and loved matured over the course of ten years, having their daily lives unknowingly filmed, influenced, and ultimately manipulated with in order to produce a television show. The show did not end because of financial troubles or foolish actions however. It ended because almost everyone involved was killed. Around the time the Parsnip Bunny Show was nearing its 20th season, MAVERICK encountered some of P&S's old bio-weapons in use by a rogue South American Nomad dictator who had come to power. They were simply re-sale models produced a number of years ago, but the incident never the less renewed MAVERICK's interests in investigating the conglomerate. Their re-investigation into P&S at first showed nothing and seemed to indicate that the company had turned over a new leave. That is until they looked further into things and discovered a facility hidden in the Canadian wilderness. Everything MAVERICK found seemed to suggest it was a laboratory, a holding area for new bio-weapons being produced and matured in secret by P&S. Eager to put the conglomerate down once and for all MAVERICK took the info they had and acted on it. Their plan was to seize the compound and catch P&S red headed, ensuring they could not wrangle their way out of the situation like they had last time. However what happened next was nothing short of a tragedy. MAVERICK raided the facility under the believe they were dealing with dangerous bio-weapons and were ordered to kill on sight. Their sudden raid of the facility threw the staff members into a panic and fires were started in an effort to destroy as much evidence as possible. The end result was the deaths of all the residents of Chattertown, save for one. After the fire cleared and the true nature of the situation became apparent the lone-survivor, who was critically injured from a hand-grenade thrown by MAVERICK personnel, was given medical attention and rushed off for treatment. This ended the Parsnip Bunny & Friends show, and ultimately led to the dismantlement of the Peach and Stone conglomerate. How much each party was responsible for the deaths of the so called 'bio-weapons' is unclear. MAVERICK went in acting on limited information and P&S were still very much conducting illegal and inhumane activities. Under better circumstances perhaps Parsnip and her friends could have been rescued. Regardless of where the blame actually fell, the whole situation was witnesses by the survivor, Parsnip, who awoke several days later in one of MAVERICK's Canadian ICU centers. Seeing the death of her friends and the destruction of the only home she knew, naturally Parsnip was in an emotionally distraught state when she awoke. The physical damage to her body was nothing in comparison to the immense trauma Parsnip's mind suffered. This trauma would only worsen as Parsnip learned about her situation and the truth behind what she was, and how her life had essentially been nothing but a lie for someone's self-profit. Overwhelmed Parsnip suffered a violent mental breakdown and became unresponsive for the next several weeks of her recovery. MAVERICK was left unsure what to do with Parsnip. On paper she was still a dangerous bio-weapon produced illegally. At the same time she was also a victim and the only 'civilian' witness to what had transpired. Eager to wash their hands of the situation MAVERICK eventually decided to have Parsnip transfered to a mental institution for long term housing and care. The day before the transfer could take place however Parsnip suddenly disappeared from the ICU. Efforts were made to find her, but she could not be located. A day later, one of the CEOs of P&S who had cut a deal and walked, was found dead having been repeatedly stabbed in a parking lot. Several more individuals related to the Peach and Stone conglomerate in Canada suffered violent deaths. Eventually one of the MAVERICK agents involved in the raid on P&S was killed, with clear evidence that Parsnip had been the killer. Yet investigators were unable to find her, with signs that an [i]unknown individual[/i] had shown up and whisked her away. The trail quickly went cold shortly after. Several months later a MAVERICK agent was found violently dismembered in Dekota. Afterwards the deaths of MAVERICK agents began to be reported with ever increasing frequency and ever-growing body counts. Analysis of the deaths shows each one becoming more gruesome, yet more skilled and pre-meditated then the last. Evidence points to the use of Ki-enhancement techniques to sharpen the edge of blades and objects used in the murders. Though these deaths have not officially been linked to Parsnip, even years after the fact, it is this reporter who will state with absolute certainty that she is the dreaded "MAVERICK Killer". PARSNIP likely blames MAVERICK for the death of her friends, her own disfigurement, and the destruction of the life she had up to that point. The trauma she went through has driven the sweet girl into becoming a viscous killer. This intrepid reporter has discovered evidence that Parsnip is currently working for the mysterious terrorist organization "MIRAGE". Could the leader of this organization be the one who had her taken from Canada? Could they be the ones encouraging Parsnip to kill MAVERICK agents and enabling her psychosis? I can only guess at this point, but the implications are grim. Despite this however I've found reports that seem to indicate that Parsnip isn't the cold, heartless serial murderer her killings make her out to be. Parsnip seems unwilling to hurt children or people she perceived as being 'children'. How long can Parsnip go until she's tasked with doing the one thing that she doesn't want to do? This has been Kathy Reckbeck for "No Stone Unturned", tune in next time to learn about who's on top of the worlds animal rights activist assassination list for brutalizing endangered walruses![/color] --[b]Unaired Episode of No Stone Unturned, indefinitely postponed from broadcasting under request from the Kathy Reckbeck after receiving an ominous letter in the mail.[/b] [h3][b]FIGHTING STYLE & ABILITIES[/b][/h3][hr] [indent][u][b]SKILLS & ABILITIES [/b][/u] [indent]Parsnip, despite being designed as a living, breathing, 'family friendly' mascot was actually designed with a bio-weapon at her base. Her reflexes, stamina, and muscle fiber density are beyond that of a normal human being. She can run faster, sprint farther, jump higher, and fall greater distances without injury. Her sense of hearing is also incredibly sharp and she has something akin to binocular vision at a distance. Her Ki-levels aren't anything extraordinary and she is 'self-taught' in its usage. Her defenses are rather meager, but her focus on the enhancing has allowed her to learn some deadly methods of enhancing the cutting edges of blades. Parsnips's fighting style focuses primarily on blades, kicks, and traps. She has a preference for traps and ambushes. When those aren't possible she favors a full frontal assault, rapidly attacking without stopping in order to wear down opponents. Her blades allow her to cleave through all but the strongest of defenses, putting slower defensive focused targets at a disadvantage against her. [/indent] [u][b]SIGNATURE MOVES [/b][/u] [indent][u]■ [Sharpen][/u] [indent][Parsnip has the power to dramatically enhance the cutting edge of any object or implement that she touches. When used a butter knife becomes as sharp as a scalpel and a regular blade becomes capable of cutting through steel armor. This enhancement lasts until Parsnip dispels the enhancement or until an hour has passed. This allows her to use even common objects as deadly weapons against nomads, cyborgs, and trained killers. Though this technique allows her blade to do tremendous damage, the blades themselves don't become anymore durable, and are prone to damage or breakage][/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ [Claws][/u] [indent][Being part rabbit, Parsnip actually does have short non-retractable 'claws' on her hands. They are harmless on their own by using her Sharpen ability they become capable of cutting through flesh and damaging metal.][/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ [Bag-o-Knives][/u] [indent][Parsnip carries a wide variety of cutting implements on her person in order to facilitate the use of her Sharpen ability. Though the exact inventory of her weapons can change depending on what she's used or replaced them with, the typical inventory she carries is: x1 Fireaxe with a shortened handle, x1 jungle machete, x1 ten foot spool of sharpened wire, x1 pair of bolt cutters, x1 kitchen knife, x2 WWI era long bayonets, x2 modern combat knives, x10 throwing knives, a few butter knives, a potato peeler, an x-acto knive, a pair of safety scissors, and at least one jagged spoon.][/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ [Hare Kick][/u] [indent][Parsnip's powerful leg muscles make her kicks surprisingly deadly, capable of breaking bones with ease. She throws out kicks capable of lunching enemies backwards or up into the airs with frightening sweeps of her legs.][/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ [Deflection][/u] [indent][By focusing her Ki and tapping into her reflexes, Parsnip can strike bullets and projectiles mid-air and redirect their momentum with one of her blades. This changes their trajectory and sends them away from her, allowing her to avoid injury][/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ [Flurry of Blades][/u] [indent][Drawing a blade Parsnip closes distance and attacks. Stabbing or slashing rapidly, aiming for vulnerable points and striking anywhere she feels she could get a solid blow in.][/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ [Throwing Knives][/u] [indent][Taking a few of her smaller knives between her fingers Parsnip throws them outwards, their enhanced edges capable of piercing cover and striking her enemies behind them.][/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ [Ambush Trap!][/u] [indent][With the tug of a wire or the click of a pressure plate, a trap set up by Parsnip before the battle activates. This can range anywhere from a bear-trap, a pitfall, to flurry of razor wire unfurling from a high-tension state. This move isn't always viable however and can only be used twice per battle.][/indent][/indent] [u][b]SUPER MOVES [/b][/u] [indent] [u]■ [CLEAVE THE VOID][/u] [indent][Focusing ki into one of her blade, Parsnip slashes the air and actually cuts the very fabric of space. This cut quickly seals itself, but not before eating any oncoming ranged attacks, sucking even the most powerful blasts and finishers into the black and naked void. Doing so causes the blade she used to cut open the 'hole' to crumble in Parsnips hand however.][/indent][/indent] [indent] [u]■ [TRUE CUTTER][/u] [indent][Dumping her Ki into her knife, a soft blue field engulfs the blade. The cutting power of the knife is dramatically increased allowing it to melt clean through stone and do horrific damage. However the ][/indent][/indent] [u][b]WEAKNESSES & LIMITS [/b][/u] •Parsnip's [i]Sharpen[/i] ability dramatically enhances the cutting power of an object at the cost of not enhancing its durability. While her cutting implements are extremely damaging they remain otherwise somewhat fragile, meaning they can be broken in her efforts to attack others. Once she runs out of blades she has to improvise or fight unarmed, which leaves her more vulnerable. •Parnsip is an offense and mobility focused character who suffers in regards to her ability to take actual hits. Though she can deal out plenty of punishment to even well defended characters, she isn't capable of taking many hits herself. •Parsnip excels at closing distance with ranged attackers and denying them damage from their ranged weapons. However she has trouble with close quarters fighters who fight as aggressively as she does. [/indent] [h3][b]OTHER[/b][/h3][hr ] [indent][indent]What else?[/indent][/indent] •Parsnip has a deep burning hatred for MAVERICK for how they killed her friends and seeks to kill almost anyone associated with the group. •Pariah noticed Parsnips latent talents and took her into the organization. For this Parsnip was forever grateful and is incredibly fond of Pariah, willing to do virtually anything for her. •Though seemingly unhinged most of the time, Parsnip is unwilling to hurt children or people she perceives as being children. This can include to individuals she views as being innocent, naive, or simply stupid or •Parsnip hasn't actually seen very much of her own show. It brings back memories of both happier times and the day her friends died. Having it mentioned is upsetting and seeing it causes her to become emotionally disturbed. [/hider]
