Character Information

"I SEE WITH EYES UNCLOUDED. THESE CLAWS OF MINE WILL SPILL INNOCENT BLOOD NO LONGER."


Summary

A former member of Fear The Dark, White Thistle traded her claws for cybernetic lashers and switched sides when she recognized that the spree-killing her parents sent her on did less intimidating of the masses and more making them hate her ilk. She now uses her talent for infil and terror-killing to atone for the damage she's done and to spread her only slightly less supremacist ideology of "fuck vampires, I got mine".

Goals

- Prove to herself that she's not a monster.

- Give ghouls a slightly better name in Seattle.

- Disassemble Fear The Dark; or at least its local cells.

- Get Mom to fuck off and stop calling.

Character Plot Hooks

Background

Second-generation ghoul, mother's a straight-up Fear the Dark terrorist and father's a wageslave security spider who only keeps his job to help fund his mainline's terrorist cell. Born Abigail Falkner - mom Kathleen, dad Adam. Note the present-tense - both parents are still very much alive and Kathleen still tries to call her through burners somewhat regularly. Abigail does not like this.

For the first ten-ish years, Kathleen raised her daughter as normally as a ghoul could. Basic education with at-home programs, training on how to interact with "softskins", stuff like that. And then the Seventies rolled around, and she got... bad. Kathleen (and Adam along with her) started gettting involved with some violent people. They started spouting some questionable rhetoric about the "natural order" of things. Abigail found this... disquieting, but quietly put up with it, because what's a preteen kid to do? She even put up with it after her mother started teaching her "self-defense", in case "they" try to do something violent. ...she only realized many years later that she was being trained as a soldier for the cause. In many ways, she was raised as a... product, of sorts. Viewed more as a useful asset than a child. In her teens, she was basically pushed and prodded by her mother to hang out with some very... questionable company. The pressure put on her to "fight back" against their "oppressors" was rather intense, and so she... well, she did.

I will not go into detail about all she did in the name of Fear The Dark. Several community figureheads of the poorer districts were left as brutalized piles of meat by her hand over the years, and yet she never really conceptualized the fact that killing decent folk just makes people hate your organization.

'Til she met Greg, anyway.

He was a regular mark - just some Skraacha bigshot, meant to die so the Skraacha would be disorganized long enough for other moves - and yet, when Abigail came to his home and broke into their living room just to see him having breakfast with his kids, she just... froze. Honestly, it's a miracle he chose to talk instead of shoot on sight.

The details of the conversation that followed are only known to Abigail and Greg, with the rest of the family having been shooed into the other room. All that's for sure is that when they came out, the intruder was sitting in a dining chair, having apparently removed her own claws by force.

Abigail, now going by White Thistle, does whatever Greg asks of her in an attempt to atone for what she's done.


Narrative Significant Qualities

Hunter-Killer (Big Regret [Fear The Dark], PSC Sadistic) - White Thistle spent years as a violent terrorist for the Infected supremacist organization Fear The Dark, brutalizing community figures in poorer districts. She's been left with a taste for blood and a loathing of the blind slaughter-monster she once was.

Prideful Predator (Ghoul, Prejudiced [Other Infected], Thunderbird) - She's more angry about being used as a tool by her own family, though. White Thistle firmly believes that ghouls are a superior form of metahuman, and loudly disapproves of other strains, seeing them as competition. Furthermore, she is simply easy to irritate and rarely forgives or forgets.
