Jane Wick

AGE:
32

GENDER:
Female

RACE/NATIONALITY:
American/Russian

APPEARANCE

PERSONALITY:
Most assume Jane to be cold and aloof, which is only true in part.  She is a kind person, but holds those around her to the high standard she sets for herself and lacks patience for anyone who fails to meet it. Few have seen her express any form of humor, though she had been known to crack a polite smile in unavoidable social interactions.  Her work is her life, and anything that doesn’t further its progress is more of less a waste of her time. She’s never had much in the way for friends, her intern being the closest thing to one she’s ever had, but she is not entirely without social grace. While far from charismatic, she can navigate interactions with politeness when it is called for, but will always prefer to work in her lab instead. 
Even with her minimal formal education, Jane has excelled in her field of study to a point where in the past world she would likely have sought a doctorate. She attributes her success to tenacious effort rather than any hereditary gift, ‘luck’ being a word for the lazy in her own mind. Her time during the chaos that came with the first changing humans followed by years in service to the so-called ‘gifted’ has left her resenting them. It is an old hatred that has grown cold with time, but is a motivation that fuels her work even away from the oppressive GAU.

ABILITIES:
None. (May change)
BIOGRAPHY:
Jane’s family was at best unconventional. Joshua Wick’s exemplary career in the American military was brought to a halt when he was assigned to head an ambassador’s personal security unit, less action more traveling.  He met Jane’s mother his first trip to Russia.  She was a village girl, poor and easily excited by the forging visitors.  When he left two months later, she followed, and continued to do so until tiring of him and leaving the soldier and a two-year-old daughter during their stay in southern Malaysia. 

Jane was an unusual child, which was the only thing that kept her from being packed up and send back to military school in America by her father. The two never shared much affection, but their solemn attitudes suited each other well.  A few times Joshua tried to teach his daughter but more often than not that responsibility fell to the child herself and a long line of every-changing nannies. The one thing he could supply his daughter was with a military discipline and the tools to take care of herself in unsavory territory. The life of travel suited Jane nicely, she never missed the company of other children and instead studied.

Shortly after her 17th birthday, everything turned sideways.  They had been staying in Berlin, and she was sent to America the day the riots began.  America was having its own troubles, and the distant family she had there could not be located, or did not want her.  Instead she was placed into a military academy, which lasted two months before she was transferred for medical training.  Most of her schooling was completed in two years, before the chaos made in completely impossible to continue. She continued working for the government, not having anywhere else to go, and offered services as a field nurse. 

By the time the GAU began to take hold, Jane had given up on ever hearing from her father again. The new leaders of northern America began sorting through what remained of their predecessors. Jane was assigned to cybernetic research, where she learned and stayed for near 12 years. After 9, any normal lab would have promoted her to research leader, in the eyes of the GAU however, she lacked ‘qualifications’. Instead she was given an intern to ‘assist’ her work, Charles Lane had good intentions, but was too young and incompetent for Jane to have any real fondness for him. Still, her work was fascinating, and the resources provided seemed to be near endless which was nearly enough to keep her content. Of course, a look at the world outside the lab would answer and question as to where those resources came from. Her country, which had never really been her home, was suffering. There where dozen underground groups of ‘normal’, some seeking to make change while others just hid to stay out of the Arcane Union’s all seeing-eyes. Jane never officially joined any, but made it her mission to help.  Shortly after she turned 30, she began searching for a ‘cure’ to the mutations that had begun thirteen years before, or at least a way to suppress the changes even if only temporarily. Whatever progress she made was slow, having only her small government apartment for a lab. But her small steps where halted two years later, when she was discovered. Her impatience had finally gotten the better of her, and she had carelessly used highly-monitored government databases for research, the one harmless glance had apparently been sufficient cause for her personal files to be flagged and examined.  She packed as much of her work as was possible and got into contact with one of the underground groups, ‘the new American revolutionaries’ dragging her assistant with her.  They did their best to keep her hidden, but it wasn’t long until it became clear she could not stay on the continent. Thus, she used the groups most valuable resources to ship out across the Atlantic ocean towards Mundin, a place she hoped would be peaceful enough to continue her work.
