Kissaki

[Kissaki]

Name: Aisling McTaggard

Alias/Code Name: Kissaki

Age: 19

Character Type: Human

Gender: Female

Alignment: Evil

Personality: Sadastic, with a cruel streak, mixed with a level of arrogance that borders on reckless. This best sums up Kissaki. Completly confident in her abilities, she maintains a sunny disposition, speaking as if she we're close friends with virtually everyone she meets. Which makes reading and predictiong her actions both difficult, as well as unsetteling. Her self assurance leads her to play with her opponents, slowly cutting them down rather than ending a fight quickly, all the while taunting her opponent with words of encouragment and suggestions of ways to win, or even flirting with them. It can be considered a torture, with her deliberatly inflicting only minor wounds. As she grows board, her violence escelates, removing extreamitiesand eventaully limbs. While this approac is clearly vulnerable to being taken advantage of, by opponents exploting her overconfidence, it seldom matters much. Caring little for moral decisions, finding them boaring and tedious. She also has something of a facination with death, not in a morbid or fatalistic sense, but a curiosity. She likes seeing how people react to their deaths, attempting to gleen some understanding of their exparencies as they expire though their expressions. And she'll do it with a small smile on her face, and without any hesitation.

Weapons:

Katana: Forged by LexCorp, Kissaki's blade is a one of a kind combanation of both adamantium and volitile promethium. Composed of two nearly indestructable alloys, the blade is for all intensive purposes, invulnearable to damage. It never wears down or dulls, maintaining its razor sharp edge regardless of use. Able to cut through lesser metals without difficulty, it makes quick work of whaever Kissaki brings it to bear against.

The Volotile Promethium which makes up the blade also provides it with an entirly different proprety. Promethium in an unstable state releases high amounts of energy, which is as dangerious as it is abundant. The adamantium dampens the mutagenic effect of teh volitile promethium, and allows its energy to be channeled into a coheasive pulse. By swinging the sword, Kissaki is able to project this energy as a cresent blade which extends beyond the sword, allowing it to strike distant targets. While lacking the potencey of the blade itself, this beam can still cut through iron and steel without much difficulty. Even when not sued in such a dramatic fashion, the sword is surrounded by a feild of the energy, giving it a very faint glow, as well as a energy field which proves disruptive to other energy attacks, which gives the blade the aility to deflect away attacks which do not have a physical component. It also has a side effect of partially cauderizing wounds inflicted by it, so her attacks typically do not bleed excessivly.

Her sheath is made of a carbon fiber weave, making it very sturdy, strong enough to resist being damaged by the blade being drawn or resheathed, as well as external damage. Thoguh not as strong as the blade, and lacking a cutting edge, it can be used as a weapon if the situation calls for it.

Guns: Though disdaining in the use of firearms, Kissaki has the forsight to recognize the need for a secondary weapon. She carries a pair of handguns to use if the situation calls for.

Marksmanship: Though not nearly as apt with ranged weaponry, she has trained ehrself to wield a varaity of firearms and is a skilled shot.

Expert Assasin: Knowing the way a body is put together through study, she can take one appart with a degree of ease that can be called frightening. She knows the positoon of vains and arteries, nerve clusters, organs, vital spots and pressure points, allowing her to land her blows with pinpoint accuracy.

Fearless: Possessing a total self assurance, Kissaki cannot be demoralized, intimidated, frightened or shaken in her beliefes.


History: Aisling has always known violence. Not knowing her father, her mother was a mercenary, and it was this which she grew up coming to understand. Exposed to death from as early as she could remember, she never saw it as something evil or bad. It simply was there, as mundane as breathing.

She grew up learning from he mother, and was a natural at fighting. Even bofre she was 10 years old she could handle a blade with enough skill to kill an adult. and she only got better as time went on. She learned kendo, iaijutso, fencing, knife fighting. She ate it all up. It wasnt mearly learning to fight, it was almost like playing. She entered several youth compitions, but was just as quickly banned, due to her injuring the other competitors and even crippiling one child. She felt the ban was pointless anyway, she'd found the compition dull. She took up underground fighting compitions, and that kept her entertained for a while, especially with good money coming to her.

Recently, she left the fight circles, taking to the streets, trying her hand as a vigilantie of sorts. After harassing several crime groups, she herd of a new industrial blade being manufactured by LexCorp, and immeaditly decided that she wanted it, on nothing more than a whim. Her infiltration of the facility was unhindered, and it was there she found a young woman waiting for her, offering her not only the blade, which was her's to take without any strings attached. And she was also offered membership into a small team that was being formed.

With the promis of a new type of opponent to wet her taste for blood, she agreed.
