Personality
Dutiful:
It's not enough to show up, nor is it enough to just build cases as far as Elvis is concerned. She wanted nothing short of the right people put away, for the right reasons and done in exactly the right way. She believes profoundly that a strict adherence to just law is all that keeps society from devolving into pure chaos. The revelation that there were laws and rules governing more than purely mortal affairs was thusly accepted without hesitation, and she's as concerned with insuring crimes against the natural order are pursued as any other major crime.
Subdued:
Despite accusations, Elvis does in fact have a full array of entirely human emotions. She has however long believed that a mask of calm is necessary to maintain a professional bearing, especially in a field where women were often accused of being "too emotional". She's been putting on the act for so long it's just second nature at this point, and she's long since tried taking it off. As a result she can often come off downright robotic, or at least certainly emotionally distant from whatever is at hand.
Character Sheet
Powers
Death Files:
It appears by it's own accord in any office in which Elvis resides, a plain beige metal filing cabinet. A casual observer might page through it and find unmarked manilla folders full of coupon clippings, torn magazine pages and random fliers. When opened by Elvis however she's able to reach in and withdraw "Case Files" sent by the "Other director", at first glance they even look like FBI case files. They contain biographical information, sometimes mug shots or other photographs, lists of aliases, last known addresses, associates and everything else an agent would want to know about a suspect. Only these files detail those who have violated the natural law, been resurrected from the dead, creating zombies, or using trickery to avoid their scheduled end of life appointment. With few exceptions these individuals do have perfectly conventional rap sheets and criminal histories of course, meaning using FBI resources to locate and apprehend these folks isn't much of a problem.
Death Reaps:
Elvis doesn't carry a Scythe, but she does have an impliment to reap souls never the less. Her figurative scythe is instead in the shape of a Butterfly knife, albeit a particularly fancy nickel plated one. Against an Average Joe it's just a sharp knife, and absolutely nothing special. Against those who've been resurrected from the dead, or have some similarly tangled relation to the "natural Order" the blade behaves very differently. It slices with seemingly no resistance, rotting the flesh at an exceptionally accelerated rate. These wounds may take weeks for the most powerful healing factors or magical healing to fully erase, and are quite likely to leave a nasty scar when they've gone. Even multiple deep cuts aren't enough to "reap" a soul however, she needs to plunge the blade into the heart or slice somebody's throat to seal the deal. She is as if by instinct supernaturally skilled with the thing, able to wield the blade like an extention of herself. Note that this skill doesn't translate into other knives.
Death Talks:
Elvis can with the snap of her fingers dispell her own illusion if she so desires, allowing her true nature to be plainly seen. A six foot tall animated skeleton, eyes filled with smoldering white embers. This change doesn't change what she's wearing, nor give her any new powers but it does change her voice. Whilst Elvis's "Death rattle" of a rasp may be rumored to have some sort of magical effect, that's more hype than reality.
Death Walks:
Her skeleton is aproximately five times more durable than any mortal human, and when broken the bones reform or heal in as little as an hour. The only way to really slow her down is pure skeletal damage, though you'll need to pulverize her entire skeleton to actually "kill" her. She has skin and hair and eyes,she even has organs and stuff. She eats, she drinks, she smokes and she sleeps out of habit and is not necessary at all. She's aproximately three times stronger than a woman her size should be, and easily four times quicker in terms of reaction speed. She can maintain that strength for as long as she needs, as she does not tire.
The Other Director:
Elvis is a "Special agent" for two agencies, and thusly works under perfectly mortal director of the FBI as well as the "Other Director". Thus far the "Other Director" has been exclusively concerned with matters involving the "Natural order", and has not responded to requests for help with mundane criminal matters. Never the less the "Other Director" can supply Elvis with considerable, accurate intelligence on "suspects", limited material support (if it fits in a filing cabinet) and occasionally some bureaucratic support.
Skills
Agent:
She was top of her class at the academy, and she's only gotten better with the years of field work. She can read a crime scene, knows how to tail a suspect without being seen, how to build a case and how to interrogate. She can write reports like nobody's business, she can withstand brutal cross examination on the stand without breaking a sweat. She knows every low down, dirty, no good paperwork judo there is to know in the federal government and knows how to work with local police without starting a turf war.
Brawler:
She's had fairly extensive training in hand to hand, and whilst it's all conventional FBI teachings it's teachings she's had ages of field time to hone. Theres nothing fancy here, but these days she's plenty strong enough to be capable of striking knock outs and she's got a sort've naturally great right hook going for her.
Driving:
She didn't even get her license until college, as the FBI required it. Once she took the FBI's driving course however, she's been a gear head ever since. She was racing autocross in her spare time even before she moved to Miami, and was a track day regular well before she got her Porsche. Behind the wheel of a car she's familiar with, Elvis is hell on wheels. She's legitimately quite fast, and an irregular autocross competitor to keep her skills sharp. Motorcycles are a newer interest, and she's only had five or six years on one but she's already attended a few formal riding classes.
Shootist:
She's a no joke Olympic Gold medal shooter, and is absolutely every bit as surgical with a shotgun as you'd expect. She can reliably shoot grenades out of the air, and put a shotgun slug through a mansized target at the ragged edge of it's ballistic envelope. She'll more than qualify with a submachine gun or a carbine, but she tends to be more comfortable with larger arms. She may well be the last FBI agent in the field to use a battle rifle, but considering the speed and precision she's capable of nobody has complained. With a handgun she's clean and quick, though she has a pronounced preference for revolvers and really is a much more consistant shooter with a nice big wheel gun.
Resources
Armory:
In addition to the arsenal the FBI provides her, Elvis has a collection of personal gear she's collected. Theres an entire closet of combat shotguns set up exactly the way she likes them, and a gunsafe devoted just to large frame big bore revolvers. She owns several personal AR-10s, FALs and M-14s, nevermind boring old bolt guns and so fourth. Much of this collection is more boring gear, like handcuffs, various pouches and holsters, plate carriers she's had built and so fourth. Nothing illegal or explosive obviously, but it's a fair amount of stuff.
Fbi:
She's a senior field agent with an incredible record, a valuable meta-human asset to the agency, and she knows how to write reports to make everyone look splendid. As such Elvis can expect a considerable amount of support from both the FBI and federal law enforcement, and also to a lesser extent local authorities. She has access to a vast array of equipment, vehicles, weapons and additional manpower when necessary. She has crime labs to send evidence to, and a veritable cornicopia of subject matter experts she can ask for advice when necessary. That said the more she asks for, the more carefully somebody is going to look into whatever she's been doing.
Reputation:
Elvis's reputation within the FBI is absolutely sterling, and even bigots are likely to consider her "One of the good metas" which is a mixed blessing but it is what it is. That reputation usually gives her a wide latitude to approach things in the way she fancies, and to get local LEO to sing her tune. She has no apparent political ambitions within the bereau, and no real rivals.
Wheels:
Elvis has a pristine Porsche 930 that's been worked on and updated, and it puts down an easy six hundred horse power to the ground. It's had it's chassis reinforced, the doors and rear section fitted with kevlar and titanium to insure it'll survive combat duties without too much damage. It's had the trunk stripped and reinforced to hold Elvis's roll out gear, and fitted with both a gps and police band radios. Theres flush fit red and blues in the front and rear, and a siren hidden beside the intercooler. More recently she's been getting into bikes, and usually has at least one stashed in the garage but they're quite conventional.
Weaknesses
Creepy:
She's unnaturally pale, and usually cool to the touch. She can come off emotionless and robotic, and has absolutely no fear of using savage honesty like a chainsaw. She just plain creeps tons of people out, and she can't really do much about it. To make matters worse it's not exactly a secret she's some sort of undead something or other, as a result she's been called a zombie more than once.
Legal:
Elvis is strictly by the book, and uncomfortable with stepping off the path at all. She does not bend the rules much less break them, and will absolutely not tolerate others breaking the rules either. This can often lead to issues with "Good guys" who play a little more fast and loose with things, and she will absolutely go after outright corruption wherever she finds it. That's fantastic and all, but it means plenty are unwilling to cooperate with her. From cops who are upset she's put officers away for corruption, to federal officials who are terrified of having their hands stuck in the cookie jar. It also means that often enough direct, easy routes are simply closed to her.
Tod:
The exact identity and nature of the "Other Director" is unclear, and that can present no end of problems. TOD is perfectly happy to let Elvis work entirely within the legal system to prosecute the "Suspects" it provides, but even light sentences tend to be fatal. From mysterious suicides, to previously undetected natural causes, strange slips and falls to outright prison murders? The people Elvis puts away on TOD's behalf never seem to make it out alive. For obvious reasons that can be a problem of course, but there is no end of folks who might start asking questions if they started digging. Of course none of it could be linked back to Elvis.
