Character Info

Profile

Reagan Murphy is a recent transplant from Chicago and a senior at Happy Harbor High School. On the surface, she seems like a typical depressed and nerdy teen. She plays the cello and does some art and tries not to bother anybody. That she's also a programmed superassassin who can turn invisible or change her appearance isn't known to pretty much anybody except her and her Aunt.

Timeline

Timeline:
* 2003: Reagan is born in Chicago, Illinois. Her father, Ronald, was a schoolteacher while her mother, Emily, worked as a research scientist. All seemed poised for a happy and prosperous life.
* 2010: Ronald becomes ill with an undiagnosable illness, growing weaker and thinner at a rapid pace. His skin changes texture, becoming almost transluscent. He dies after nearly a year of decline and agony.
* 2013: Ten year old Reagan begins acting out. Running away from home, shoplifting, getting in fights. She doesn't run with a bad crowd - quite the opposite, she becomes very isolated, very much a loner. Her absentee mother doesn't help matters. Finally, it seems that Emily realizes her daughter needs her help and Reagan is enrolled in both therapy and a drug program for depression.
* 2016: Reagan goes through a period of illness. Some of her symptoms seem eerily similar to those shown by her father. Finally, one day, she simply disappears - not gone, but invisible. Once this happens, her illness recedes and she discovers she has the power not only to make herself invisible, but to use a light field to change her appearance however she desires.
* 2018: After a period of adjustment, Reagan embraces her powers and begins to practice with them. Her mother begins homeschooling her, using a virtual reality tutoring system that's supposed to be cutting edge. Then Reagan discovers a secret file on her mother's computer and, in the process, uncovers nearly two decades of research for a secret stealth agent program - of which Reagan is the ultimate result. A result now being programmed to do an assassin's work in the name of Hydra.
* 2019: Reagan runs away. Her powers and the skills with which she has been implanted allow her to survive on her own. While she is away, she learns that her mother has been arrested and that some of her crimes have been exposed.
* 2021: Reagan has resettled on the east coast, living with an aunt (her father's sister, Bonnie). She's enrolled at Happy Harbor High School to finish her education.

Personality

Click to expand.

Creative:
Reagan is a creative person, with a passion for making things and a powerful imagination. She does crafting and writing, as well as playing the cello. She finds great value in her making and it is her safe place to lose herself in these passions.

Depressive:
Reagan is prone to bouts of depression, wherein she wants to just sleep all day and not deal with the world. This is even easier to do when you can become invisible. She takes medication, but, even on that medication, she can't always fight off the dark times and, when they take her, they can be quite rough.

Geeky:
Reagan has sort of the classic geek/nerd interests. She watches a lot of streaming shows, she writes fanfic, she's into sci fi and fantasy, vampires and such. When someone can engage with her on these interests, she opens up more and can be more relaxed and friendly.

Whatever:
Reagan projects detachment and slight disdain for the world around her. She's been hurt enough that she tries to be untouched by the world now and likely feels more than a bit numb after what she's been through. She isn't likely to be enthusiastic about much of anything, at least not with new people.

Powers

Appearance Alteration:
Reagan can use her holographic field to alter her appearance at will. It's essentially coating her in different light to change the way she's perceived. Nothing physically changes and it's entirely cosmetic. It does work on cameras and surveillance, as it's an actual alteration of light and not merely a psychic illusion. There's no real limit to what kind of appearance she can take on, although the basic shape and build needs to remain mostly the same. Doing too much size change tends to make the way she moves seems awkward and the illusion shows through, although she can also use that to her advantage to take on horrifying or unsettling appearances if she wants. She can imitate the appearances of others to a large degree, although the finer details may not always be accurate and are limited to her own knowledge of what they look like. Studying photographs can help a lot.

Invisibility:
Reagan has the ability to generate a small holographic field around her body, manipulating light for a variety of effects. The first and most simple of these is that she learned to become invisible. She will simply vanish from ordinary sight or camera observation. She will still show up on thermal cams and exists physically to be detected by other senses, but she cannot be seen by conventional optics. The field will take her clothes and a modest amount of space along with her, usually enough to disappear a backpack or even a bicycle but not much more than that. If she isn't touching an object, it will leave the field and become visible again.

Programming:
Reagan was subjected to two years of subliminal training and mind alteration by her mother. The result is that she has a package of assassin training planted within her mind. Since she hadn't been 'activated' as of yet, she can only access these skills if she feels threatened in some way, the flow of adrenaline from fear or anger serving as a trigger. These skills include:

Martial Arts - Reagan becomes a capable hand to hand fighter, equivalent to an elite special forces operative, with both striking and grappling capabilities.
Weapons - Reagan becomes an expert user in firearms, martial weapons and blades.
Security - Reagan becomes capable of bypassing and dismantling advanced security systems, allowing her to infiltrate buildings or commit burglary on most buildings.
Escape - Reagan becomes capable of picking most locks, slipping bonds and even dislocating parts of her body in order to free herself from confinement.

These abilities can also be activated through use of a Hydra subliminal command word (which Reagan herself does not know). A skilled deprogrammer or telepath could potentially unlock these abilities on a permanent basis.

Skills

Academics:
Reagan is a high school senior with a fairly high GPA, taking advanced placement classes in History and English. Like most high school kids, she has certain skills at her fingertips that many adults have forgotten in the years since they left school.

Cello:
Reagan is an excellent cello player and has considered music as a potential career once she goes onto college. She practices almost every day and can play most major pieces with skill and aplomb.

Computers:
Reagan isn't a hacker by any means, but she does have some experience writing code and working on programming for her own interests. She can build a computer with the requisite parts and understands how everything works, software and hardware, enough to perform repairs on her own machine if need be.

Crafts:
Reagan has always been adept with crafts and tries her hand at lots of creative things. She can sew and knit, is a decent illustrator and painter and is experienced in clothes construction and costuming for her own amusement.

Survival:
Reagan lived on her own for a while, essentially homeless. She learned to scrounge and to make do in tough circumstances. She's primarily an urban survivor and didn't really spend much time in the wilderness. She knows how to find shelter, deal with street people and generally can function successfully as a person on the fringe if circumstances require.

Resources

Bonnie:
Reagan lives with her paternal Aunt, Bonnie Murphy, in a modest two bedroom apartment. Bonnie works as a graphic designer and her income is determinedly lower middle class but enough to support them both without too much difficulty. Bonnie gives Reagan a lot of independence but will still get concerned if her niece is out too much or doesn't touch base. Reagan has a debit card she can use for expenses if need be, but she does have to answer for what she spends.

Weaknesses

Click to expand.

Hunted:
Reagan is, in some ways, an escaped experiment. Hydra would probably like to have her back under their control after the investment they put into her.

Latent:
Reagan has intensive fighting and combat skills - that are subliminally buried in her brain until she's enraged or in danger. Outside of those circumstances, she can't fight worth a damn and she's very vulnerable if taken off guard.

Mother:
Reagan's mother, Dr. Emily Murphy, is currently in prison at an undisclosed location for working with terrorists and violating numerous other laws regarding medical practice. She and Reagan are not in contact, but she's a black mark on Reagan's record that she'd like to forget.

Other Senses:
While Reagan's ability can fool sight and cameras, other senses won't be effected by her holographic field. She can still be heard, touched or smelled by those with enhanced senses. If she bumps into something or someone, she can give herself away when invisible (or even if she's just bad at sneaking at that time).
