Aujourd'hui, c'est officiellement nul. "Suck" était un peu sous-estimé, vraiment, mais à l'heure actuelle, c'était la meilleure façon qu'Emily pouvait décrire d'être retenue à la pointe de l'arme par des hommes hostiles dans un bus à vitesse. Vraiment, officiellement aspiré.
Emily s'est faufilée sur son siège, regardant les hommes armés se méfier. Masques, marques bizarres, vol de passagers -- ils auraient aussi bien pu porter un panneau disant: «Nous mangeons des chiots! On donne un coup de pied aux vieux! Nous sacrifions des milliers d'âmes pour ressusciter le dieu perdu, Hergoruth! ». Quelque chose dans ce sens.
Ses mains s'élèvent vers son cou, lui accrochent le charme de l'invisibilité. C'est devenu une habitude pour elle de jouer avec elle chaque fois qu'elle était nerveuse ou perdue dans la pensée. Les symboles étranges du charme, profondément sculptés dans l'os de griffon d'ivoire, ont donné à l'elfe un peu de confort chaque fois qu'elle les traçait. Les doigts d'Emily s'accrochaient au charme, son regard scintille de là à la sortie. Peut-être, peut-être, qu'elle pourrait devenir invisible et se faufiler hors du bus. Elle pourrait même essayer de frapper un gars et de piller le corps si elle avait le temps. Un petit sourire sur ses lèvres avant de disparaître. Il y avait deux choses qui empêchaient ce plan de fonctionner : passer devant un groupe armé dans une allée étroite n'allait pas du tout être facile, et l'autobus se déplaçait. Vite.
Elle soupirait, son adhérence se relâcheait. « Et de penser que je me suis réveillée du côté droit du lit », a dit Emily à personne en particulier, ennuyant. Espérons que les autres passagers se révéleraient être de merveilleux canons de fourrage juste au cas où tout l'enfer s'effacerait et Emily devait partir.
Name: Benjamin Rokeby
Age: 28
Gender: Male
Race/species: Human
Personality: Benjamin is an erratic type of person. His mind moves in strange ways and is possessed of the killer combination of morbid curiosity and an obsessive personality. His one consuming passion is the drive to experience everything, which more often than not he'll willing let override any common sense. Overall his disposition is a double edged sword for Benjamin, letting him see opportunity in everything, but often obscuring the costs.
Powers/abilities:
1. The Maw: A fleshy tendril extends from Benjamin's anatomy with a wide, fanged mouth at the apex. Benjamin can use the tendril to consume up to 150kg of any inanimate object in one sitting. Once consumed Lucan learns everything that happened to the object in the last 3 days, as well as understanding the chemical composition of the object. The Maw requires 10 minutes/kg consumed to digest before the next sitting. Benjamin suspects it is some kind of supernatural parasite, however the maw has proven uncooperative in his attempts to discern its secrets. While it can normally be controlled completely, like another limb, it seems to retract when he tries to investigate its biology.
2. Voodoo: Benjamin is taking lessons under a Voodoo queen, in return for his help in having the previous occupant of the position arrested, in his extremely limited pool of free time. Do far he has only managed to acquire the most basic skills, tracking someone by making a voodoo doll using a high quality sample of their DNA, increasing hid luck in an extremely minor way or making particularly potent alcoholic beverages.
Skills: Benjamin is an intelligence special agent for the dome of protectors. He gathers information on anything from murders and hold-ups to drugs trafficking and extra terrestrial terrorism threats. He enjoys his job for the myriad and of opportunities it gives him to indulge his passion for the unique and the interesting. His innate gift of the maw makes him extremely adept at his job and acts to make up for the times he gets a little too involved. However intelligence gathering on crime is not an activity that the Modacci are particularly fond of. Benjamin is sure that he would have been found garrotted in his home years ago if it weren't for the fact that he's more than willing to supplement his income in a less than ethical way. For the right price Benjamin is more than willing to use his ability to make evidence disappear. He'll dispose of anything from whole bodies to incriminating documents in a very permanent fashion. A job that makes him worth letting live for the Modacci.
As a special agent Benjamin is competent with knives and guns, but he's not anything special in combat. His main skills as an agent are an intimate knowledge of forensic science, legal loopholes and less than pleasant interrogation techniques.
