CHARACTER
Name: Eleanor Lamb
True Name: Eleanor
Canon: Bioshock 2 ("Good" ending; Eleanor spares Sofia Lamb and escapes to the surface with the rescued Little Sisters
Age: 17
History: Wiki link; some information here will be expanded on below

Powers/Abilities: Eleanor has a modified physiology and makes use of several Plasmids, resulting in:

- Slow healing factor. While not truly immortal like a proper Little Sister, Eleanor's healing is on an accelerated schedule. Her blood clots rapidly, she doesn't get sick or experience allergies, and given time she'll heal most injuries on her own. However, this healing is still human; failing to set, say, a broken bone properly means it'll heal wrong and the bone will have to be re-broken, among other such examples.

- If it ever comes up with someone besides Jack, Eleanor can harvest ADAM from dead or living people and use it for herself, including gaining their Plasmids; conversely, she could in theory make and give Plasmids from her own ADAM to others.

- Powerful telekinesis, moving and throwing & pulling both living and unliving beings and creating a rough shield of 'held' objects.

- Pyrokinesis, primarily manifested as hurled fireballs.

- Superhuman strength and agility; mighty leaps, bone-crushing strikes, safe landings from great heights, fast running, etc so forth.

- Short-range teleportation. Though canon never defines the exact range at which she can do this once she gets going, I'm setting this at about 60 feet (or 3 "rooms" away, give or take); Eleanor leaves behind a purple glow when teleporting, and that glow precedes her arrival by about one second.

- Danger sense. Eleanor reacts instantly to attacks made against her or being spotted by violent intent (i.e. YES sensing when someone has a knife they want to give to her intestines, NO sensing when someone is about to destroy her socially or emotionally). Am I making what is likely an artifact of programming into a power? Listen, you can take it up with the wiki.

- Though it's unlikely to come up, Eleanor can influence, share the senses of, and possess Little Sisters made under the regime of Sofia Lamb, and can provide this power to others if she gets the time to make a Plasmid for them.

Inventory:

- Little Sister Armor; a pressurized diving suit capable of withstanding the pressures of the sea floor and armored against gunfire, knives, etc, though far from invulnerable. It is pictured here. Its inbuilt weapons and systems include combat needles for sucking the vital fluids out of opponents, ADAM storage (currently partly full after the final battle; Eleanor is still processing it), and EVE storage

- Approximately 5 doses of EVE, for powering Eleanor's Plasmids (in the vial on the armor)

- A nightgown

- Severe regrets about how small the above list is now that she's among people and only owns spooky armor and a fucking nightgown

Job History:

- Big Sister: Held for about six minutes, Eleanor's responsibilities in this position included fighting her way through her mother's cultists, loving her father, quick solutions to problems of tech and physics, and rescuing her fellow victims from Rapture.

- False Messiah: Didn't want this job, had it anyway. Responsibilities included an omnidisciplinary education, sneaking around behind her mother's back, raising her father from death itself, learning morality for herself while being the prisoner of a cult, holding on to her free will like grim death, and suffering intense medical and genetic experimentation

- Little Sister: Harvesting and processing ADAM from "angels", loving her Daddy, making dolls.

Suppressions:

- Leadership. Eleanor is so tired of being put on a pedestal, and yet most of her life she has either been held up as a leader against her will, or had to act as one to protect others. She's still the one with the plan most of the time, and yet she hesitates; when does she cross the line and become her mother, or Ryan, or something worse than either?

- Aggression. There's so much rage in this girl and some of it is medically induced. Eleanor relies on her father's example when she thinks about resorting to violence but she uh, sure does like. Resorting to violence. When she has an excuse.

- Ascension. Eleanor is plagued by nightmares of becoming the Utopian her mother wanted her to be, or the over-man that Atlas tried to make himself into before he died. Both disgust her.

- Innovation. Eleanor wants to change the world but her conception of doing so is not currently uh, good, so right now she hesitates to create new inventions or new ideas because all of her examples of doing so are a giant list of What Not To Do.

Greatest Fear
: That someone else will finish what her mother started, reshaping her body and mind into a tool.

Greatest Desire: To be "human again".

Greatest Regret: Failing to save her father's life.

Sample: "I know the surface world is warm but this seems like an overreaction."

ABED NADIR | COMMUNITY | MERLIN

CHARACTER
Name: Abed Nadir
True Name: The Ass Crack Bandit
Canon: Community
Age: Early twenties
History: https://community-sitcom.fandom.com/wiki/Abed_Nadir

Powers/Abilities:
No powers. However, he has a few notable skills.
- He has proven himself to be an extremely fast runner, outmatching former star athlete Troy Barnes.
- He also has a near encyclopedic knowledge of television and film.
- He is good at mimicking the mannerisms and intonation of others.
- All Community characters are highly skilled in paintball, which requires aiming and agility.

Inventory: A professional film camera, backpack containing computer with editing software and wide collection of downloaded movies/shows.

Job History: Film major at Greendale Community College

Suppressions: Abed has trouble reading his own emotions, so he isn’t really even sure what’s back there sometimes.

He has spent a lot of his life unconsciously masking his autism, and certain mannerisms he has are ways to overcompensate for autistic traits that he’s been picked on for in the past. Most notably, he makes very intense eye contact even though he doesn’t really understand eye contact. He’s also very good at replicating the mannerisms of others after he has studied them for some time. Behind all this is the feeling that just being himself isn’t enough - he has to be someone else.

In addition, his imagination is so vivid that he can become lost in it for extended periods of time. While other people might just see Abed sitting somewhere, in Abed’s mind he has just been hijacked by an evil doppelganger and is ruminating how he will saw his friend’s limb off. Generally he sees his imagination as a blessing, but in certain instances like the above example, it does stress him out a bit and makes him feel like he doesn’t have full control of himself.

Greatest Fear: Abed secretly worries that anyone he gets close to will eventually realize he’s too weird to deal with and will inevitably leave. Some part of him still believes this is the reason his mother divorced his father and moved away, even though he knows consciously that that’s not true.

Greatest Desire: To be a famous filmmaker whose work is well-known for its creativity, intelligence, and distinct visual style

Greatest Regret: Not having realized he was autistic sooner in life

Grace ("the Naiad") | Identity V | Vox

PLAYER
Name: Vox

CHARACTER
Name: "The Naiad"
True Name: Grace
Canon: Identity V (sometime in the ambiguous Manor Games; that is, a similar time point to where Mira has placed Helena
Age: 19 (as of her death and subsequent entrance to the Manor)
History: Wiki liiiiink plus see writing sample for established CR that's been workshopped with Mira

Powers/Abilities: Got a few, but they're all related.

- Levitation: Grace hovers about six inches off the ground a bit faster than your average terrified person runs, but can still use furniture.

- Harpoon: Grace's harpoon is, in all meaningful senses, a part of her. It needs to be attached to her body somehow; a ribbon, a rope, in her hand. If separated from her, either on purpose or by accident, it returns within 10 seconds or when Grace calls it to her, traveling in a straight line and phasing through objects. The harpoon CANNOT harm people or other living things when thrown or when returning.

- Darkest Depths: When she so chooses, Grace leaves unnatural puddles of water in her wake and in the wake of her harpoon (thrown and returned). The puddles last for 20 seconds, and build up a strange humidity on those who step on them or stay within a shape made by them. As humidity builds up the victim feels as if they're drowning in the open air; if it's allowed to build up completely, they are struck by "creatures from the depths" which appear to maul them before vanishing. Once mauled, the victim ceases to feel as if drowning, and is immune to the puddles for several seconds (player's note: if it's possible to keep the mauling somehow I sure would like to. IDV is not clear on where those creatures come from or what they are, only implying that they are somehow related to Hastur in his aspect as the "god of the lake"; possibly the Depths from which they're summoned are something Grace hauls around with her and does not comprehend).

- Surging Tides: Grace moves much faster while disarmed, and can dash into people. The impact does not do direct harm (and indeed bounces Grace off them slightly), but does soak them in a large amount of humidity, as above.

Inventory: This outfit, her harpoon, and a plate of freshly-cooked oysters

Job History:

- Infant: Chief responsibilities included floating down a river in a fishing basket and getting adopted; absolutely nailed both.

- False Messiah: Job skills mainly included getting her freedom and autonomy trampled on by people who refused to understand her, then getting sacrificed to Hastur when they decided that Grace - the god they raised up themselves over her objections - was a false idol. However, during this time Grace did study the fish of the Lakeside Village.

- Hunter: As a Hunter of the Manor, Grace was charged with "enforcing the rules" of its death game; tasked with hunting down teams of 4 survivors, disrupting their teamwork and ability to complete their assigned objectives, and brutally murdering them. A note; the ability of Survivors to meaningfully fight back was rather limited, and Grace, for all that she's some kind of Lovecraftian horror, doesn't actually know how to fight. Her style of horror was more about denying safe places, cutting off retreat, and outrunning opponents to force them to choose between a fast death at the hands of her harpoon or a slow one from the Depths.

Suppressions:

- Yearning: Grace wants to be a normal girl. Really, she does, but she tells herself it's never going to happen - certainly not after FUCKING DYING - and hides her longing behind her pride.

- Existential Dread: What is Grace? What was her future supposed to look like after the slaughter of her village? Does she even belong in the world any more? Running from this one is harder than denying her dream of normalcy.

- Zeusophobia: Guess what's a real word? Gods creep Grace the fuck out, not helped by the bit where the two she knew personally included FUCKING HASTUR and Yidhra, both beings of horrific nature and cruel amusements. Which, speaking of:

- Fucking Hastur: This one's not so much an intentional suppression as it is Grace being whole-ass ignorant. She knows the god who remade her as "the god of the lake", and as his Hunter title from the Manor ("the Feaster"); she has no clue he's the King in Yellow, absolutely no idea she gives off King in Yellow vibes, and it's gonna be an issue when people related to him such as [CHARACTER NAMES REDACTED TO NOT SPOIL THEIR CANON FOR PEOPLE; detail plotted with their players in advance of application] notice.

Greatest Fear
: The life she's been given being taken away; not by violence, but simply rescinded, a loan now called in to return her to her miserable and meaningless death

Greatest Desire: To be reborn as a "normal girl", someone who's not mute or a weird undead horror.

Greatest Regret: Honestly there's not a lot she's done that Grace is sorry for, but her friendship with Helena has given her strange and guilty feelings about her role in the Manor, and the way she was free to use people as a vent for her own misery

Sample: Grace at the Manor
