Personality

ExpandClick to expand.

Childlike:
Strix never got the chance to mature once she joined the Court of Owls, so she longs for the kind of normal things a child would like and do.

Empathy:
Paradoxically, Strix has shown a great deal of empathy towards people that are in a similar situations to herself. This is her saving grace that shows that she can be more than just an assassin.

Grey Morality:
After decades of being an assassin, the line between good and bad hasn't so much as be blurred but erased. She just doesn't understand the value of human life beyond her immediate circles.

Uncomplicated:
Strix doesn't have much in the way of a complicated personality. She doesn't scheme or plot. Her wants and needs are very simple.

Character Sheet

Powers

ExpandClick to expand.

Peak Human Ability:
Strix's training has left her at the peak of human ability. She's as strong, as fast, as dexterous as any human could rationally be, and then maybe a bit beyond that due to the process by which the Court of Owls make their Talons.

Regeneration:
Due to the synthesized electrum in her blood, Strix is able to regenerate at an amazing rate. It's been shown that she was able to heal a broken leg in under a minute, for example.

Skills

ExpandClick to expand.

Acrobatics:
Even before she was picked up by the Court of Owls, Strix had shown herself to be a talented aerialist, and with her training that has gotten even better over time. After decades of use and training she could easily score perfect tens at the Olymmpics if she ever competed.

Master Assassin:
Strix knows all the techniques used in assassinating somebody, from physical weapons, to hand to hand, to poisons, and many other things.

Master Martial Artist:
Strix has had literal decades to refine her martial art skills, making her one of the best, most dangerous martial artists on the planet.

Resources

ExpandClick to expand.

Court of Owls:
Strix has the support of the Court of Owls at her disposal. This includes access to quite a bit of money, vehicles, and hardware.

Talon Gear:
Standard talon kit includes two medium length swords, claws, and goggles.

Weaknesses

ExpandClick to expand.

Cold:
Strix's greatest weakness is cold. It significantly slows down her regenerative capabilities, and should it get cold enough, put her into a kind of hibernation.

Disfigured:
Strix was caught by a bomb, which horribly disfigured her. She's covered head to toe with scars, which gives her something of a scary appearance. When she's out of her Talon gear, she typically wears bandages around her head to hide them.

Empathy:
For a Talon, this is a weakness. She has a lot of empathy for abused, or missing children, which remind her of herself, and of elderly women who remind her of her grandmother, specifically.

Mute:
Strix was rendered mute due to the explosion that horribly disfigured her, and killed her parents. She primarily "talks" via a notepad and pen, or by scratching out messages with her claws.

Uneducated:
Strix never finished grade school. She was just a child when she was picked up by the Court, and they never trained her beyond the basics. She knows simple arithmatic, and can read and write at about a 4th grade level.
