Character Information
Summary
A former university student who got infected with strain 2 and slapped with a criminal SIN. Faced with a complete lack of prospects and an appearance that makes most people retch, she's turned to using her newfound powers for crime to make ends meet. She may not be able to cast spells or harness Qi or anything like that, but she can talk to rats and punch spirits really hard. Honestly, what more do you need?
Goals
- Pay her rent
- Stay out of prison
- Get the name on her SIN changed
- Meet more infected and come to terms with her identity
Background
Joan Angelo was born as the middle child of a military family in Ft. Lewis. Assigned masculine at birth under the name "Richard", she spent most of her adolescence stewing in closeted resentment over her conservative family. When she finally got accepted into Seattle University's theatre program it was a dream come true, a chance to discover herself while going to school for something she loved. She quickly ingratiated herself in the campus, taking her new name and building up a circle of friends that saw her for who she really was. Or so she thought.
About two years into her education Joan contracted HMHVV at a rave. She's still not entirely sure how (memories from that night are more than a little hazy), but by the time morning came around she had started her transformation. At first it just seemed like a fever; ashy skin, chills, and an absurdly high temperature that put her in bed for several days. Then came the changes. Her skin turned a deathly grey pallor and her hair began falling out in clumps. Horrible growing pains wracked her body as her fingers and teeth extended into razor points, and her vision blurred as cataracts formed over her permanently dry eyes. It wasn't just the physical changes either; she could feel the emotions of the other students in the building, see strange things out the window even though her eyes were now blind. By the time Joan figured out what was actually happening to her she realized one last thing: she hadn't eaten in days, and she was ravenously hungry.
Leaving her room for the first time in a week Joan set out, covering as much of her body as she could. One of her roommates tried to talk to her on the way out, and it took everything Joan had to not pounce on them. They looked delicious. She turned away, disgusted with herself, and hurried out of the building. Her newly awakened astral sight barley kept her from tripping as she made her way to the medical school, hoping to break in and steal one of their cadavers. She didn't even make it to the door. When the cops arrived they found her slumped against the ward around the building, desperately trying to claw her way through. When she offered no resistance, the officers restrained her with a mage jacket and tossed her in the car to begin an extended tour of the UCAS legal system. It's a wonder she didn't starve to death.
When she finally got through the week and a half of processing Lone Star gave her three things: a criminal SIN, a pitifully small bone ration, and a notice that she'd be shot on sight if she didn't show up for her trial. Her parents had posted bail but they wanted nothing more to do with her, and all of the friends she thought she'd had turned their backs on the newly formed "monster".
