Elena

Master Index » Archives » Zion » Elena

"Too many take the Mother (Gaia) for granted. But we have to strife to help her. Or one day we will find there is nothing left to make this life worth living."

"I am a healer not a butcher. If you want to torture your soul, you have to do that without my help."

Appearance

She is a slender, lightweight person. There is definitely not much bodily strength in her. She usually wears wide concealing robes of white cotton. Most of the time she even has the hood hanging deep over her face. So often nothing more than her blone hair spilling out of that hood in two thick braids can be seen. On her feet she usually wear heavy wandering or combat boots sticking out of her robes. Most of the time, she even wears gloves on her hands. So barely any skin is visible.

Distinguishing Features

Unknown

Mannerisms and Habits

Usually, typical for her totem, very shy. Often only talking about the art of healing, Magic and her 'spritual guide' (totem) will make her come out of her shell. She can be however quick and decisive if she sees lifes at danger or nature threatened. She will avoid killing at all cost.

Associations

Rumors about her having been invovled in GreenWar activities in her past abound.

Capabilities

She specializes in healing. And her past experiences plus her magic gives her many options to stay unseen and often unheard.

Disclaimer
I am offering this for GM's who want to use a characters background. Most of this is OOC information. If your character has no way to know it IC then don't. If I catch someone using this information without IC having had a chance to learn it I will at once sto to RP with that player.

The early years

The woman now known as Elena was born in Bavaria, Germany as the daughter of a rich well connected family.
The Wallingers, though being barely known out side of their Circles, still are one of those families that draw the strings in the background of some of the most important deals. They even have very direct ties to the Great Dragon Lofwyr and are distant relatives to the Beloit family that was so vital in the founding of Saeder-Krupp.
It had been early found out that their young daughter Viktoria had the spark in her. So she was tutored towards the 'right' magic, meaning she was tutored in hermetic Magic from early on. She had privatate tutoring and being an intelligent girl she took up the materials she had to learn easily. She just had that quirksome way to disagree with the theory of her teachers and go her own ways in magic. She was one of the youngest students accepted at the renown University of Heidelberg. And quite popular with her professors. Despite or because of her ways to have her own thories on matters.

Awakening

The reasons behind those differences in her opinions became opvious when she finally awakened during her last semester break before her doctorate.
For her this changed everything. Magic was suddenly something else than theory it was something she lived, breathed. And from her totem she became a very new awareness of the threat Mother Gaia, earth. was in. She became at once immersed with the various groupings that recruited students for the 'green resistance'. A thing her parents certainly didn't approve. But it was hard to prevent the access to these people on the University and during her doctorate.

GreenWar

As soon as she had finished her doctorate, she disappeared into the shadows of Germany to fight with some of the more radical witch covens to remove the corporate threat from earth. She did use her magic carefully to avoid human losses and only damage infrastructure. As some of her partners in these acts were less carefull, several people still died. During an especially tricky mission she finally found out, that one of her most trusted allies. Another shaman had turned toxic and was now following the despoiler path. Using the GreenWar acts as disguise for his mad acts. She diabled the man and barely escaped with corp troops from Zeta ImpChem on her heels. She was barely able to send out warnings to her contacts (most of whom where not able to act on these) and fled out of Europe towards the Americas.

Family

She also had to learn that her family was still on the lookout for her 'values' family member, to reallign her to the best interests of the family.

This is to provide people with an idea what kind of runs Elena would do or not do and why. Or under what circumstances she might do runs.

Assassination:

This is a total and unconditional no. Under no circumstances will Elena agree to Assassination. She is a healer and her duty is to heal people, not kill them.
She will alway make it clear that this kind of missions in not agreeable. Should she ever be tricked into an Assassination, she most likely will turn against her contractor.

Bodyguard:

Elena is quite certainly not the usual person for this. She lacks the bodily strength and reflexes or this.
Also the fact that there would rarely a reason for her to risk her own life for someone elses, when being alive allows her to help the Mother would usually have her shy away from these mission. She might assist this, but merely as a support for the real bodyguards.

Security Duty:

Elena would, similar to Bodyguarding usually not agree to Security missions. With some very fine exceptions. She might help out with this if her actions could help to prevent greater harm to nature or earth in general.
She also might do this to prevent harm for people.

Burglary:

Burglary is a relative new concept for Elena, though she would not object to be included in a team with the right skillset, she is all too aware, that she lacks a considerable ammount of technology based skills. So hiring her own would usually be quite impossible.

Courier Run:

Elena might be willing to do this kind of job. She is not strong and has no ride, so she'd either need company who is strong or has a ride or the item in question would have to be small enough for her to be carried.

Distraction:

Elena would be up to this kind of plot. If there was no killing to be involved. She is quite okay with causing damage or making a ruckus, or even to play tricks to others to cause a diversion, though.
If the cause is close to her personal aims she might even consider to endanger herself for this.

Destruction:

Destroying property is not a problem for Elena, if the Mother Gaia is not harmed by that. So destroying a tanks that would spill poison to the surrounding land is out. Blasting up a corp laboratoy is not. She'd still try to avoid metahuman casualties.

Enforcement:

Elena is unlikely for this kind of plot. As she usually has too much respect for others.

Extraction:

If at all Elena would only be willing to assist a willing extraction. A Johnson tricking her into assisting with an unwilling one is likely to end either without his victim and/or repercussions from her. Depending on what she had to go through to find out the truth.

Investigation:

Elena is perfectly alright to investiage subjects for others. She is already trying to get some more contacts in Denver. So doing someone a favour by investigating a magical issue would be something she would be quite willing to do.

Smuggling Run:

Elena has no compuntion to smuggle. She sees it as 'undermining the system that keeps the corporations afloat'. Maybe not really true and may be quite flavoured by her sight of things. At least makes her likely to joins this kinda runs.

Location:

Elena would certainly be willing to help locate someone lost or even in danger. She would not assist in helping a killer find his victim if she can avoid it. If she is tricked into assisting this and finds out, she will do all she can to make up for her failure.
