Venka Matessa aka- Switchblade, Spider Created by: Alison Profession: Hunter (sort of?) Physical Description: Short and stocky, only reaching 5’7” you wouldn’t think much of her just from her appearance, with a ponytail, a braid coiled and pinned, and deep green eyes, she has a dark crimson leather jacket that cuts off about halfway down her torso which she loves. She typically wears a plain colored shirt, jeans and boots with that, easy to move in and easy to run in. You also might notice the seemingly metal sleeve she wears on her right arm, this is an arm brace that can also function as a pretty good pistol when she needs it too, but mostly it's for her arm. She also sometimes wears a gun holster on her thigh, as well as wrist length black gloves with pads on each of the finger tips, she likes these and has found they work well when she is using her knowledge of pressure points, when she need to be precise she removes these but has managed not to lose them so far. She also carries straps looped on her belt they look decorative but she uses them for climbing or a hammock once shes on the top of a building. Health: Her right arm was crushed rendering is useless, it was somewhat repaired but hardly functional at the level she needed, however she has weapon/brace created by her friend Kern, but no conditions other than that. Skills: Strength: (8/8) She is strong for her size and has gained a lot of muscle from climbing everywhere, she can’t lift anything huge but can pull herself up with ease. Unarmed combat (Pressure Points): (10/8) Dexterity: (10/8) Climbing: (12/10) She was taught to climb from a very young age by her dad ___ who worked in Street Patrol, continued to defeat even the most difficult climbs, she climbs for enjoyments as well using is for escape or shortcuts. She is most happy up on top of something and often conducts business from a high spot. Guns: (8/6) She worked in Street Patrol for a year, and she mostly used pistols (8/8). She’s a good shot with a her pistol, nothing special, she’s never enjoyed using them but sometimes its the easiest solution. Driving: (6/6) Venka can only sort of drive so she either relies on someone she knows, or public transport, other than that she stays in her territory or makes her way across the tops of buildings, rooftops are her turf... Willpower: (8/8) Reasonably strong willed she barters in both shopping and business, she will not let someone else easily defeat her and once she has a goal won't back down. This is both a plus and minus in many situations and shes gotten into things deeper than she meant a few times because of it. Drinking contests: (8/8) Venka has taken part in more than a few and has been smart enough to actually intentionally build up tolerance to alcohol as she can both make money off of bets and faking complete drunkenness while still being capable of defending her self. Intelligence: (10/8) She’s very smart and a quick thinker, she uses this as an advantage on a regular basis, using her knowledge to its fullest she has overpowered some important people in the black market, another source of info though she doesn’t acquire thing through the black market, too much attention is exactly the wrong thing. Pressure points: (8/8) She started learning them as part of unarmed combat from her father, but found it very useful going against big opponents so she continued learning whatever she could and has quite skilled in this. Perception: (8/6) She has learned to keep an eye out for who is around her as a habit but its nothing special. Influence: (8/6) She is good at talking to people and put her multiple languages to good use, she can leave a good impression or an imposing one on people, this of course comes in handy when dealing with the groups in the worse parts of the city. French: (10/10) She grew up in a bilingual household, french comes as easily as english, and she can switch back and forth with ease. Spanish: (8/6) She learned spanish in school and has put it to enough use that it has stay fluent, she has several spanish contacts so this can come in handy. Chinese: (8/6) Yet another language she has found useful, she can easily understand it but speaking it takes some thought, though this only slows her down a small amount. Speech: (8/8) Venka has become very good at getting out of tough situations, and has learned through error and some bruises what to say when, she also keeps information flowing with this skill. Psionics: (6/6) Psychic powers: (6/6) She spent a lot of time with her dad ___ improving them, shes not very good but she can get in a good psychic punch or hit a pressure point if she really needs too. Items in use: MELEE WEAPONS: None RANGED WEAPONS: Pistol Armbrace Combi Weapon ARMOUR: None HEADGEAR: None Inventory: Straps for climbing Silver Bracelet Weapon cleaning supplies Cell Phone (like star trek communication devices) Backstory: Venka has two dads, one of her dads was in Street Patrol, the other one worked in a corporation, and she grew up bilingual with both english and french. Both of her parents spent a lot of time teaching her and playing with her a later her sister. The father that worked in Street Patrol spent much of his time home, (he wasn't around as often) playing games outside and teaching her hand to hand combat, he also got her started on her love of climbing, and taught her how to scale 10ft walls in a few seconds. As she got older she took her climbing skills much further, she would go to climbing walls whenever she could and defeated even the most difficult courses, whatever activity she was doing, if it would be done in a high place, thats where she would go. Her other father who worked in a corporation frequently gave her puzzles or extra lessons on things she was learning in school, he pushed her to do better so she came out in the top quarter at least for all her classes. Venka was smart but her sister, although dyslexic had a brilliant fast paced mind, she would often have to go back and explain her thought process and could get very agitated when someone didn’t immediately understand. She had a pretty normal life, she didn’t like making friends in her class but instead had a few extremely close friends that she had met on the streets, closest of them all was Asir. He was homeless and only had his mother who was an ex-magic addict, she wasn’t all there... So Asir had to mostly fend for himself, Venka would frequently spend her money and barter or even steal items and give them to Asir. They told each other everything and spent many hours roaming the street together. That was until they were both 14, when Asir was killed by a gang, he was never involved in that stuff and used the climbing skills taught to him by Venka to avoid it, but for some reason, someone decided to shoot him for fun. She watched this happen and saw them walk away from his bleeding body laughing, she had come to find him and got there just before they shot him. After that, she became depressed and began to climb more and more and on more and more dangerous buildings that went higher up than she had ever gone, she eventually missed one handhold and fell 200 ft into the small lake in the plaza next to the building she was on where she almost drowned. Venka was brought out and taken to a hospital, but a few days later she broke out of the hospital, stopped off at her house only seen by her 9 year old sister, and then she ran off for 4 days avoiding the street patrols that were looking for her. She found the group that killed Asir, followed them for a day, went back to her home and collapsed in her living room where her parents found her the next morning. She dropped out of school and was tutored by her father for 2 months and carefully watched, they helped with her depression but this all left a permanent scar on her. This incident is what made her resolve to join street patrol absolute, she especially enjoyed going after groups like the one that had killed Asir and would take them down mercilessly. When she went off to college her professors were impressed with her habit to put in extra work so everything she did was above average, but she wasn't interested in a corporate job, she wanted to join Street Patrol like her father, and thats what she did. Just as her father was retiring she took up a position in Street Patrol. She used her knowledge of hand to hand combat and pressure point taught to her by Street Patrol training officers and her father as well as her skill at climbing to chase down criminals that they were after, that was until she got an arm injury, it was a stupid way to get injured, a metal support fell on her arm during a typical chase and it crushed the bones in her right arm, it was the arm she used for most things even though she’s left handed, if a fight was getting difficult she could let her opponent get her right arm and she could then switch to her left and take them out quickly. Because she would switch arms, nickname switchblade. As she could no longer function with her arm being useless she left Street Patrol leaving behind her friends. She went back to her home and worked with her dad on his corporation projects as much as she could but when he offered her a job there she declined and soon later left her home to go find something else to do with her life, she started meeting people who knew things and started working up some contacts and starting dealing in information, that was how she found out about Copernicus and he made her a weapon that would also serve as an arm brace. She eventually met some hunters while they were on jobs and helped them locate or even chase down their targets, her contacts came in handy so she continued being a source of intel to a variety of people with hunters included. |
