↪ Noisy neighbors ; @buriedwithit for soren

Normally, she would've been rushing to get into her pajamas and get in bed by now but here she was, stomping around in the dark moving towards the source of the offending noise. Jackie had only been home for approximately five seconds when all that racket started up. Morals be damned, she was still technically in her work clothes anyways. With relative ease, she hauled herself over the fence and zeroed in on some guy hunched over a motorcycle. Really? At this hour? "Hey, Tony Stark. It's two in the morning."

↪ grubhub ; @sureabel

Interactions with Abel had been few and far in-between. Jackie had never really been one for spiritual guidance so she would only really drop by with trays of food after the worship. And even then she doesn't stick around for too long! Hard pass on praising the lord and whatnot but feeding the community is what she's all about. "Green bean casserole and mini pumpkin pies," She states proudly, handing the trays over to the devotees before flashing a bright smile at the pastor. "Hoping for clean trays again or else y'all won't see me next week" She joked.

↪ coffee break ; @wcrldend

"Mind if I sit here for a bit?" She settles on the opposite seat, not waiting for an answer. The latter was the least suspicious out of all the tables with empty seats. It wasn't too busy that she would necessarily need to steal an occupied table but she dreaded the thought of drinking her sad little cup of joe by her lonesome. Besides, maybe she could make friends or something. Worst case scenario she'd have to down the hot beverage in one go and leave.

↪ recipe for disaster ; @sable-hart

"Fucking yikes." Jackie crossed her arms together and muttered under her breath, disgust apparent across her face as she stood idly by a locked office door. Being hired to stand guard while your employer bangs their secretary in the office sucks. "Two and a half pounds of sliced apples, toss with one-fourth cup of sugar, two tablespoons lemon juice...." She began going through the steps of her apple pie recipe as an attempt to not focus on the fact that she was an unwilling accomplice to her employer's infidelity.

↪ dome sweet dome ; @sebnimassoudafm

“You here to ponder your existence or are you here to snitch?” She half-jokes at the approaching footsteps. Jackie kept her stare straight towards the sky—or rather, the almighty dome that protected the city, as she continued to lay motionless on what little grass there was on the ground. Beyond the reinforced dome was nothing but inky blackness. Maybe the panels were too thick to see even the slightest hint of stars. A shame, really. "I'll have you know I'm here on official business."

Jackie spent an unknown amount of time in her mutated form, blindly attacking anything that moved until she was discovered by a group of foot soldiers. There were several failed attempts to eradicate her until they decided to capture her instead to administer the cure. The local troops took advantage of the citizens’ dislike for her and decided to take her in. After some years serving the military, Jackie had full control over her abilities and decided enough was enough. She then moved to Sol City to work as a Security Escort.

QUESTIONNAIRE.

How do they feel about living in Sol City? Have they always lived there or did they travel from another settlement?

➾ Jackie used to live in one of the smaller neighboring settlements. They didn’t like her very much. Absolutely LOVES it in the city! She’s always eager to meet new people.

Do they trust the council’s leadership? Why or why not?

➾ Of course! They’re all for the good of the people, aren’t they?

If they chose their sector and profession, why did they make that choice? If they didn’t, why not? Were they happy with their assignment or not?

➾ Jackie specifically chose to be a Security Escort. She had caused experienced so much death and violence in her life already prior to moving to Sol City. Having someone to protect gives her a strong sense of pride and purpose.

What’s one object that they always keep on their person?

➾ She has a little pouch that holds all sorts of stuff in it: antiseptic, bandages, plasters, saline solution, gum, lip balm, tissues… She’s always prepared. She even has a mini sewing kit for wardrobe malfunctions!

What is your character’s ability (or abilities)?

➾ Predalien Physiology. Specifically the Praetorian type.

Are they Gen I or Gen II?

➾ Gen I!

What can your character do? What are their strengths?

➾ Jackie can turn into a Predalien at will, though this usually takes some time. (Give her like a 15-30 minute headstart.) Her mutated form is approximately 8ft 10’ and possesses a pair of strong mandibles and a powerful tail. She’s very physically domineering and can easily overpower most local mutated creatures in the wastelands. Jackie boasts a heavier-set build and does best when dealing with threats up close. She’s able to take a lot of damage and is generally very very sturdy. (Very heat-resistant too!) In her mutated form, her blood turns into a dull yellow and is somewhat corrosive, though not as potent as a normal Xenomorph. It can burn through most organic and man-made materials with prolonged contact. She is also able to retain complete control over her mutated form but may start to exhibit some… unsightly instincts if she stays as a Predalien for a longer period of time.

What can’t they do? What are their weaknesses?

➾ Since she has a bulkier form, she isn’t very agile and can’t really scale walls unless they’re meant to hold a lot of weight. Her bigger form can also be a disadvantage in smaller spaces. She’s also incapable of talking in this form. If Jackie stays in her Predalien form for too long, she’ll slowly start to give in to basic instincts. Although her ability to “infect” other individuals has since been removed, the parts are still there along with the strong urge to expand her brood. This, along with lethal fits of aggressive territorial behavior, trophy-hunting and the like, makes it so that she generally tries to get the job done as soon as possible. Reverting back to her human form is also a long process. Any amount of time spent in her Predalien form, regardless of the amount of strength used, she will require a LOT of food and rest for her to fully recuperate afterwards. Additionally, if she overexerts herself to a point of exhaustion, she will revert back to human form.

Is there anything else you’d like to specify about them?

➾ Jackie has multiple obvious signs of mutation that she tries to conceal. She has very dense, metallic green-black fingernails and her incisors are longer and sharper than the average human’s. She originally had four vestigial growths sprouting on her back but they had been surgically removed when she was brought in to be cured - only four vaguely circular marks remain.

jacqueline woods ; full bio ; intro ; details

(kiersey clemons, 83, genderqueer, she/her) — Look who it is! If you take a look at our database, you’ll find that JACQUELINE “JACKIE” WOODS is a SECURITY ESCORT that works in SECTOR 6. According to the file, they’re a mutant with the power of PREDALIEN PHYSIOLOGY. That must be why they’re GOAL-DRIVEN and NAÏVE. If you ask me, they remind me of a thoughtfully prepared home-cooked meal, a tight embrace from a loved one and a heartfelt compliment from a stranger. They are affiliated with RUST & RUIN.
