Name: Alyssa Hobbs
Aliases: Detective, Detective Hobbs, Hobbs, the Great Bitch Detective (that last one tends to be said behind her back)
Age: 23
Species:Human medium
Weapon: Standard MIB Sidearm, specifically modified to shoot ectoplasmic rounds that stun spirits in addition to normal rounds.
Skills:The Medium: Alyssa has the ability to see and commune with the dead. Unfortunately, this is not an ability she is able to turn off, which can make everyday life a little...strange, to say the least.
Pacify: Unlike other acting mediums in the BoSA, Alyssa does not have the ability to exorcise evil or wrathful spirits, not without prior preparation and magical rituals. However, she does have the unique ability to talk these spirits down. It works best if she has background information on who these spirits were in the land of the living, though it's not unusual for her to improvise. By empathizing with the spirit, Alyssa is able to purify it of the corruption that caused it to become so wicked in the first place.
Clever: It's often a safe bet to say that Alyssa is the cleverest person in the room. She may not be a super genius when it comes to computers, math, fighting, or science, but she has a way of looking at things that not many have. She's what one would call an "outside-the-box thinker", often able to figure out a way to turn the tables in her favor in the most unpredictable of ways.
The Detective: Alyssa is skilled in finding out things that she needs to know. Granted with the gift of exceptional observational skills, she's able to pick up even the most minor of details, which is an invaluable skill for a detective of the BoSA to have. She also has relatively excessive knowledge of the supernatural and occult.
Could Drink Y'all Under the Table: Due to her constant intake of harmful toxins, such as alcohol and nicotine, Alyssa is somewhat accustomed them. Not only does this help her if she ever makes a bet with an immortal vampire on who could drink more shots of vodka, but it also makes her less susceptible to certain poisons and gases.
Weaknesses:Alcoholic: To say that Alyssa is a bit of a drinker would be a massive understatement. In reality, alcohol takes up a majority of Alyssa's food pyramid, which isn't a very good thing, especially not for a government operative. However, with the help of her girlfriend, Alyssa is able to keep her drinking relatively under control, never escalating her consumption of the substance, instead keeping it steady. Still, the effects of her alcoholism are present, from her near constant headaches, kept bearable by the equally constant popping of military grade pain killers. Even so, the headaches cause her mental barriers to be weaker than the average agent.
Withdrawal: Going hand in hand with her alcoholism, Alyssa also has withdrawals if she stops drinking for an extended period of time. When she's having these withdrawals, she's fairly limited, sometimes even useless. Her symptoms tend to be tremors, sweating, nausea, fatigue, and, in serious cases, hallucinations.
Human: Despite her abilities and skills, Alyssa is still only human. A well placed shot between the eyes, or a wrathful demon launching a fireball directly at her, will likely take her out.
Lily White: Alyssa may be difficult, but her heart is not made of ice. In fact, it pumps with a most passionate love, one that most never have the opportunity to feel: her love for Lily White, a blind young woman who has been her best friend since childhood, and girlfriend since high school. Alyssa has given herself fully to that girl, heart, soul, and mind. Unfortunately, putting a single person at the center of the universe leaves your universe less than stable. If Lily were to die, Alyssa would never be able to move on, her life either turning to shambles, or disappearing all together. Also, Lily isn't extraordinary in any way, other than being a brilliant pianist despite her lack of vision, so it wouldn't be all that difficult to use the girl as leverage against Alyssa.
