Character Information

Goals

• Build up Connections: This is a new place for me, and I barely know anyone, professionally or otherwise. I really need to expand my network. Tanya is nice and all, but I could really use some better contacts.

• Acquire Money: It's a basic drive, but it brings so much. With more money, I can get better gear, better opportunity's, and really, a better life.

• Help Changelings: We are all different, each changed in our own unique ways. We have to look out for each other, and build ourselves up. Others supported me in the past. It's time for me to do the same.

Narrative Significant Qualities

Changeling

Basilisk is a Class III changeling, transformed into a being that can only be described as a snake in metahuman form. Both her physiology, and to some extent her mindset, have been radically altered from the non-snakey norm.

Positives:

We changelings are pretty great after all.

• Broadened Auditory System (Ultrasound): Basilisk can hear pitches that normal metahumans could never hope to. It's useful for her infiltrations, though quite annoying around dog whistles.

• Fangs, Natural Venom: Basilisk is extremely venomous, and a bite from her could put almost anyone in the grave.

• Vomeronasal Organ: Basilisk's sense of smell is extremely enhanced, and with a flick of her tongue she can taste the fear of her quarry or track them as they flee.

• Thermal Sensitivity: She doesn't just stop at scents though, her unique physiology allowing her to sense the heat of nearby objects.

Negatives:

Allegedly. You're just jealous of my features.

• Coldblooded, Slow Healer: Basilisk's metabolism is coldblooded and slow, requiring the heat of her surroundings to work. This can be a challenge in the misty city of Seattle.

• Scales: Basilisk is covered in gleaming scales, something that is easily obvious to any observer.

• Nocturnal: Basilisk naturally falls into a nocturnal sleep schedule. The colder temperatures can be annoying, but her enhanced senses give her an edge in the dark that's worth it.

• Impaired Attribute(Charisma): Apparently most people find her snake-like features and somewhat strange mannerisms to be unnerving. Basilisk doesn't see their issues. If anything, they're the ugly ones.

• Critter Spook: Basilisk is a natural predator and animals around her instinctively are aware of that. It doesn't help them get away.

Positive

• Poisoner: Basilisk is well acquainted with toxins of all types and can use them to their greatest effect.

• Mentor Spirit: Serpent (Shark mechanically) - As Basilisk learned to survive, visions of a scaled creature began to flow around her. Shifting and ever moving, the Serpent whispers the truth of the world, that it is harsh and unforgiving. The only way to survive, to exist beyond the mercy of others, is to be strong enough to do what is necessary, by any means necessary. While a cold and brutal teacher, she cares not what power is used for, for those who are able to inflict their will on the world have the right to do so as they see fit.

Negative

• Dependent (Inconvenience): It turns out that society isn't designed for snake people, and Basilisk has to spend a bit more to adapt. Things like scale care products and buying food for her more specialized, aka carnivorous, diet add up, not to mention the costs of keeping her apartment toasty year round.

• Disheveled: Fashion designers apparently don't account often for a bright green complexion. Many nicer clothes tend to look a bit odd on her, if she even tries to dress up that is.

• Favored, Outspoken - Changelings: Basilisk has never had much support from the "normal" people of society. The only ones who have ever really cared for her are her fellow kind. She cares deeply about other Changelings, and will go out of her way to trust and aid them, even if sometimes it hurts her.

• Wanted - PCC, 100k Nuyen, Target: "Silencio": Once she got burned by her employer after a rather successful assassination, Basilisk, running under a different name then, was branded a terrorist and a bounty was placed on her, dead or alive.

Appearance

Clothing

For everyday wear, she wears rather cheap clothes currently, covered by a hooded poncho. She generally tries to not broadcast her features outside of changeling communities.

During runs, she generally wears her chameleon suit.

Matrix Persona

She looks like a naga, to mix it up.
