Astral Harmony will become famous soon enough. Eventually. Maybe.
Default

Name: Alice Hornsbury
Alias: Shinigami
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Appearance: Stands at 5' 6". Weighs roughly 107 pounds. Has long freeflowing black hair and sky blue eyes. Her skin tone is unremarkable and her muscle build is lean.
Equipment: 2 carbon steel 12" combat knives, steel-toe boots, steel-braced gloves, a set of tonfas, two batons, a 7' steel quarterstaff that can be detached midway, a utility belt with various doohickeys like lockpicks and handcuffs, and a backpack that holds some explosives and medical supplies. She also has a couple pair of sunglasses that can feed objective data to the frames and can see in night vision, infrared and x-ray.

Abilities

Faultline Agent Training: An expert at Karate, Muy Thai kickboxing, Judo, Ninjutsu, and in the use of various non-lethal weapons like tonfas, batons, and quarterstaffs, obviously. She's been trained in stealth, infiltration, interrogation, and takedown techniques.

Berserker Mode: If Alice is taking too many hits, say from engaging with superpowered enemies, her body and mind go into a berserker-like rage. It's nearly impossible to subdue or even psionically dominate Alice at this point, and trying to read her attack rhythm is difficult as well, since she no longer follows any combat rhythm at this point. She cannot maintain berserker mode for long, and her body is very exhausted after a brief while of fighting in this mode. Alice is currently not aware of their power inside her.

Biography: Alice and her father Frederick had lived together for a long time. Ever since she was a kid, Alice believed her father worked for a business conglomerate. She was sickly at birth, and doctors believe she wouldn't live to be ten, but miraculously her father was able to afford the huge expenses to pay for both Alice's medicine and her rehabilitation.

So she wasn't entirely surprised when her father and some strange men told her she was going to carry on his legacy as Shinigami, an international peacekeeper. Her father had been injured during a mission and was now bedridden, never to take up the mantle of Shinigami again. It was because of her father's employers, a secret agency called Sulphyr & Brymstone, that Alice was able to recover from her childhood illness with the compensation that Alice would have to take up her father's position as Shinigami when he could no longer do Sulphyr & Brymstone's bidding.

Alice's simple and peaceful life did a complete 180. In the handful of years that Alice spent deep underground, she learned a few different styles of martials arts and various techniques in stealth and infiltration. Alice still lives with her father, and when they're not talking about Alice's new life as Shinigami, they actually do function like a normal family. A family of a guy who can't leave his bed without crutches and his daughter who occasionally gets called away to bring powerful crime lords to justice.

Her training had officially ended two months ago. And she is about to be tested with her first real mission.

Superhero Persona: A skin-tight black and blue spandex bodysuit that leaves the arms and legs bare and affords some protection through thin armor padding.

Affiliations: Sulphyr & Brymstone ~ a company based in North America that manufactures military-grade technology as a front. Certain high-profile FBI, military and political big wigs know about their special unit, called Faultline. Alice is the newest member of this unit, replacing her father Frederick.

Their buildings are where Alice can go to get patched up, no questions asked, and rearmed for the next mission. Their mission coordinators send live-streaming intel to Alice's sunglasses during her missions. That's about it.

Enemies: The Fallen Angels ~ A paramilitary force that wants what Sulphyr & Brymstone has, government contracts and a reputation for getting the job done, no questions asked and done as commanded. They don't have any kind of front, and it's suspected that their agents operate covertly as regular civilians until given their marching orders. Alice has been told that one of their top-ranking agents, some bimbo who goes by the name Jaden, was the one who disabled her father.

They function more like assassins than special police, snuffing out targets instead of turning them over to the authorities. This puts them at odds with S&B, since villains who're still alive tend to be more useful.
