Character Info
Profile
Atrice 'Ducky' Duckstein is a bit of a Ghost Wrangler that works for the BPRD when she's not counseling others on their grief while ignoring her own. She's got a lot of baggage, but she tries not to let that effect her work life...which is far more exciting than her personal life by any means!

IC Journal
{{{ICJournal}}}
Personality
Cautious:
Atrice tends to be a bad luck magnent, so she tends to be very cautious when new situations or opportunities arise. It is just due to a very bad history of things!
Hidden Romantic:
Atrice reads romance novels and dreams of having a huge wedding with friends, but the chances of that happening are mostly slim (in her mind!). She doesn't let everyone know that she is a romantic, but the truth will come out someday.
Loner:
Atrice has always been alone. She doesn't know who her blood parents are and she was never adopted by her foster parents. She feels like the proverbial outsider in most situations. This causes her to keep to the fringes of work and social situations.
Soft Hearted:
Atrice has had her share of losses and she feels like she is a walking curse, but if there are circumstances where she can help she does so.
Character Sheet
Powers
Death Magic:
Atrice's bloodline is unknown to her, but she is capable of pretty strong magics when it comes to things that are dead, but she needs the practice that goes with this. Her powers do extend to animals, but she has never used this. Her studies will come with time and lots of weird components!
OOC: This is a plot point for growing with her not something she can do unless under a lot of duress.
Psychometry:
Atrice is able to touch objects and read their strongest memories. Just one. Not multiple. If the object is brand new or doesn't hold any significant memory then nothing will come of it. The power doesn't work on memories older than fifty years unless something DRASTIC happened and it was involved. Atrice has gained the ability to use this over the years. In the start she was unable to control it which meant she had to wear gloves when touching things for a long time.
Skills
Ghost Wrangler:
Yes, it's absolutely a thing. Atrice is who BPRD calls when they need a ghost caught without a lot of onlookers. She is of course happy to do this.
Grief Counseling:
Atrice has underwent the training and certification for being a Grief Counselor. She takes her job very seriously and it sometimes takes its own toll on her.
Languages:
Atrice speaks a number of languages. The list is below:
Fluent:
Latin
English
German
Welsh
Dutch
Romanian
Hungarian
Slovak
Swedish
Italian
French
Shield Training:
Atrice has been through SHIELD training. She's been taught how to use a gun and all of that jazz. She doesn't like to shoot or fight, but it happens sometimes. She knows the basics and is working on trying to become a better shot with a gun.
Resources
Bprd & Shield:
Atrice was recruited into the Bureua of Paranormal Research Division when she was 19 given her ghostly knowledges and her potential for the future. She worked as one of Professor Broom's assistants for quite a few years as well. She has the clearance she needs to do field work which her specialty general keeps her going to the more bizarre cases that don't always happen on this side of the Atlantic.
Occult Library:
Atrice has one of the best libraries on ghosts lore, research and miscellaneous on the subject in the Tri-State area. She's young and still collecting and making copies of old worn out books, so it's not like it's a world-wide thing. It is her pride and joy and feels like one of her biggest accomplishments so far.
Savings Account:
All of the money from Atrice's dead ex is in a savings account that is collecting interest. She used a small amount of it to pay off debt, otherwise she is using this money to try to find manuscripts and other occult items. The stuff gets expensive!
Weaknesses
Abandonment Issues:
Atrice has issues with abandonment in SPADES. It's why she doesn't try to get close to too many people. She is working on it though after her therapist told her she should get out and try to connect with people.
Aplastic Anemia:
The ailment that is always around. Atrice has down times when her disease is a pain and she has to have transfusions and that is something she's tried to keep out of the work and public light.
Unknown Origins:
Atrice doesn't know who she is bloodline wise. She's searched and found nothing. It bothers her to no end. And the reality of who she is related to is something that could haunt her.
