== Character Bio ==



== Personal Information ==

Legal Name: Elizabeth "Betsy" Braddock
Alias: Psylocke, Captain Britain, Lady Mandarin
Age: 26? (tis a secret!)
Sexuality: Bi-curious
Team Role: Wildcard Specialist

== Physical Description / Clothing ==
Psylocke currently stands at 5'11" weighing in at 155lbs. This ninja with purple hair and blue to violet eyes. She is almost always seen wearing a skin tight outfit that is a dark blue. She wears a red sash around her waist. ( I like this costume the best, sue me!)

== Personality ==
Psylocke has been through alot. Not the least of which was being rebuilt and resurrected by various parties, being brainwashed on multiple occasions, and having her physical body switched for another. She first began her life as a superhero by standing in for her brother, Captain Britan. She was recognized as a precognitive telepath. Mojo would then abduct her after she was rendered blind by Slaymaster. This is where Psylocke would come into her own as she earned the codename "The Psylocke". Mojo had implanted her with cybernetic eyes, and after a confrontation with Sabretooth is officially invited to become a member of the X-Men.

Spending time with the X-Men, Psylocke would start to come into her own. Though it would all change once she travelled through a portal opened by the Siege Perilous. Psylocke would be rendered an amnesiac and taken in by the Hand. Psylocke would be physically altered to take on a more asian appearance and be brainwashed into becoming "Lady Mandarin" an assassin for the Hand. It was the X-Men's Wolverine that had rescued her, but without her previous memories she would be expelled from the Mansion when the real Psylocke, now using the name of Kwannon had appeared.

As this issue would resolve itself, Kwannon would prove herself to be the "real" Psylocke which would see Psylocke expelled from the Mansion and from the X-Men as well. Now a "free agent" as it were, she was approached by Agent Venom to join his newly forming squad of heroes. With a way to put her abilities to good use, Psylocke would accept the invitation. The battle lines were starting to be drawn and Psylocke had chosen her side.

== Key Skills ==
Pilot, Martial Artist, Telekinetic, Ninja!

Powers:
Generate a Telekinetic Katana
Projects Psionic Blasts
Can make body doubles as a diversion

Skills:
Immune to Telepathic probes or attacks

Weaknesses:
Quick to anger: Will attack anyone she deems hostile on sight.
Telepathic power split between herself and her imposter, Kwannon.
Cybernetic eyes: Can not see without using telepathic abilities.

== Character Background ==
Psylocke had given up being a successful model to fill in for her brother as Captain Britain. It was then and there that she realized that she had powers to see into the future. Being recruited into STRIKE, Psylocke would infiltrate the hellfire club using her inherited membership from her father. After a run in with Slaymaster, Psylocke would have her eyes gouged out.

While recuperating from the whole ordeal with Slaymaster, Psylocke was captured by Mojo. She had refused cybernetic eyes in the past, but being captured by Mojo she did not have a choice in the matter this time. As Mojo had a habit of doing, he made a show out of it and people would be able to see things as if they were Psylocke themeselves as the cybernetic eyes she were given were little more than cameras that Mojo could control.

After some time in the Mojoverse, the New Mutants would rescue her and she would find solace at the X-Men's mansion. This would be where she had her first run in with Sabretooth, and the events surrounding her conflict with Sabretooth would find her nominated to join the X-Men officially. Through her time with the X-Men, Psylocke would come to have a precognition that saw everyone dead. In an attempt to prevent this fate, Psylocke would activate the Siege Perilous and in the process her body would be split in half. Psylocke would confront her other half, with the entity known as Kwannon taking on the name of Revanche and causing Psylocke to be rejected by the X-Men and resulting in her expulsion from the mansion.

With all of her physical ability still in tact, Psylocke would smuggle herself into Mexico. Taking on the Drug Cartels she would start to raise some notice among the locals as they spoke of a female able to move in and out of the shadows as she struck at the Cartel. They referred to her as "Venganza" or "Venga" depending on who you talked to, but it was only a matter of time before the word of a metahuman would find it's way to Agent Venom. Looking to assess the situation himself in Mexico, it was there where Psylocke and Agent Venom first met. Staging a concerted effort against the Cartels, Psylocke along with Agent Venom would do a great deal of damge to the Cartels.

Agent Venom would extend and offer to join his "Wildcards" at that point. Even with only half of her previous telekinetic power, Psylocke would realize that a refusal would see to her certain demise. There of course was a certain level of curiousity in Psylocke as no one really knew why what looked like an X-Man in Revanche (which is what Kwannon had chosen for her name in the X-Men), was doing in Mexico attacking the drug cartels alone. What Agent Venom did not quite realize he was getting was a massive flirt as Psylocke would repeatedly be seen flirting with whoever was in command at the time.


== Character Extras ==
Psylocke originally started out as Captain Britain, and over time was taken in by the X-Men under the tutelage of Magneto. She was brainwashed and assumed the identity of Lady Mandarin on a few occasions. Her physical body has been swapped though her imposter in Kwannon still exists.

Marie Reynolds:

Awesome bio! I look forward to seeing how Hybrid reacts to being on the battlefield opposite their dear old dad! :P


Mathim:

Unfortunately at the moment, for balance reasons, we're only accepting female characters to try and level out the heavy imbalance in terms of the sexes.


Freeko:

Pretty much what Alix said :P

Also, Freeko, could you please expand on her history a little? What has she been through, where has she been, how did she get from the X-Men to the Wildcards, why is she on the opposite side to Kitty, etc etc? Your bio seems a tad....bare-bones at the moment, especially in comparison to everybody elses. Obviously yours was whipped up pretty quickly so I'm not trying to be like "Hurdedur, more content!" More just a general request for expansion and digression in certain areas of her bio, please. :-) I'll reserve The Specialist and Psylocke for you while you sort that out. :-)


Everybody else:

Getcha bios in quickly! Spots are going fast! :P

Men in general judge more by the sense of sight than by that of touch, because everyone can see but few can test by feeling. Everyone sees what you seem to be, few know what you really are; and those few do not dare take a stand against the general opinion. Therefore it is unnecessary to have all the qualities I have enumerated, but it is very necessary to appear to have them. And I shall dare to say this also, that to have them and always observe them is injurious, and that to appear to have them is useful; to appear merciful, faithful, humane, religious, upright, and be so, but with a mind so framed that should you require not to be so, you may be able and know how to change to the opposite.

Also, I'm just gonna say that if anybody reading this wants to pitch Black Cat (preferably as The Wildcards "Heart," but the Avengers Specialist would work as well!) then you'll be one of my favourite people. I just love Felicia as a character, and I love her look, and I've always loved reading her appearances in the comics.

So...just saying. If you wanna pitch Felicia Hardy, AKA Black Cat, you'll appeal to my personal bias.

Re Z L

== Character Bio ==








== Personal Information ==

Legal Name:  Ananym
Alias:  Witchfire
Age:  Unknown
Sexuality:  Pansexual
Team Role:  Sorceress

== Physical Description / Clothing ==

She has a large collection of hoodies.  If it has a hood she's probably wearing it or will wear it.  Mostly this is to help conceal the small horns that grow from her head--though they're easily concealed by her wavy red hair.  Her eyes vary in shade, though are generally a dark brown color.  As she exerts more of her mystic power they begin to steadily turn red and eventually glow with a white light.

== Personality ==

Fiery, passionate, quick to anger (or any other emotion for that matter).  At times she can be a little ball of aimless rage, and at others she can be decidedly stubborn.  Her emotions can and often do get the better of her, but at least she's no Hulk.  She keeps her emotions balanced by rather frequent meditation that she refers to as Communing, or "going within".  It helps to stabilize her and keep her emotions in check, while also revitalizing her.  Despite this she often holds herself back as she remains keenly aware of her past, trying to cause as little suffering as she can in order to somehow redeem herself from her past.

== Key Skills ==

Powers:

Pyrokinesis - She is extremely skilled in generating and controlling fire.  She can turn a match into a raging inferno, or an uncontrollable wildfire into a campfire for roasting marshmallows.  She can also affect how hot the flames burn which affects their color, from a dark red up to a blue-white.  Superheating air in this way can also create small concussive blasts, so a thrown ball of flame might knock someone back instead of lighting them on fire.

Magical Constructs - She can form constructs from solidified light, typically a yellow-gold color.  Typical constructs include:

  • Sword - A blade of light typically about the size of a longsword
  • Creatures - She can form creatures that maintain a certain level of independent thought or action.  This form of construct is too complex to utilize more than one at a time but it can be nearly any size or shape.
  • Hands - Large human-sized hands can be useful for incapacitating foes from a distance.  These require direct control on her part, which mimic the actions of her hands, thus limiting her to two at a time.
  • Shields - Shields are the most varied shapes (an open palm blocks an optic blast, a wall rises up to stop a hydrokinetic attack, a creature comes to life only to subsequently die to protect someone) but require little attention on her part--aside from noticing the attack in time to reflexively shield herself or others.

Magical Senses - Innate sense to detect and identify all forms of mystical energy within her normal range of perception.  Furthermore, when not in a stressful situation, she can also sense the emotions of those around her as well as detect sources of life energy (ie. living beings).  Her ability to sense magical energies allows her to track magical effects back to their source like a hunter following footprints in the snow.  Depending on the ongoing effect this may either lead to the person who created the spell or magical effect, or to the location where the effect was initially created.

Telekinesis - She has a limited ability to affect things telekinetically.  She can cause herself to float in air, generally no more than a couple feet from the ground, or move objects that weigh less than approximately 100 pounds.  This takes little to no effort for her to perform, being able to maintain her own levitation almost indefinitely, but if she becomes distracted or startled she may lose focus and drop whatever she's "holding".

Healing Factor - She heals slightly faster than a normal human and can recover from more traumatic injuries given time.  What would take a normal human one month to recover from takes her approximately two weeks.

Telepathy - She has an underdeveloped telepathic ability which she typically uses by reflex.  This includes shielding herself from mental attacks as well as those around her or detecting the surface thoughts of those nearby--typically manifesting as an ability to detect if people are lying.

Commune - By meditating she can commune in a way similar to how Shaman communed with animals and spirits.  This had, in the past, opened her up to outside influence, she has since refined the ability to be purely internal.  She communes with different facets of her personality to keep her mind in balance.  In this state she is shut off from the outside world, though physical contact can "wake" her up.

Spells:

Agamotto's Light - A soothing and comforting light that can break mental control of those bathed in the light.  It causes great pain to the person that is exerting control over the target until they free them from their control.

Spell of Attunement - A spell that causes like to attract like.  Wood affected will attract wood, stone attracts stone, etc.

Spell of Interference - A more immediate, if risky, alternative to Agamotto's Light.  This spell will do one of two things, it will either immediately end mind controlling effects on the target and knock the target unconscious, or--if the controlling being's will is strong enough--it will instead knock the caster unconscious.

Spell of Pain - A simple spell that just causes pain to the target until she stops concentrating on the spell.

Sympathetic Magic - She was taught how to use Sympathetic Magic by Shaman.  Sympathetic Magic uses either a replica of a person (ie. Voodoo doll), a piece of a person (hair, blood), or an important possession in order to work magic from a greater distance.  Typically only living beings can be affected by Sympathetic Magic (to include sentient undead like vampires), but places or objects that have a strong magical resonance can also be affected.

Skills:

Hand-to-Hand Combat - She is marginally adept at hand to hand combat using a sword or knives.

Leadership - She has some experience successfully leading a team in the past.

Occult Expertise - She is extremely knowledgeable about the occult.

Weaknesses:

Demonic Heritage - She is just as subject to spells that specifically target demons as a normal demon would be.  The most typical being a circle that prevents demons from crossing the lines drawn, making it possible to imprison her with a piece of chalk.

Partial Amnesia - She is unable to recall anything from her past.

Foci - Spells require some component through which she focuses the power, either incantation, using a wand, gestures, or complex rituals.  Her powers as listed above do not have this restriction.

== Character Background ==

= First Memories =
Ananym's first memories are of waking in the middle of a small, burning crater inside the Nanahi National Park in Canada.  Naked, alone, and with no memory of her past or how she ended up there she picked up a small flame that was still crackling with life in one hand and began to walk aimlessly through the forest.  It wasn't long before Michael Twoyoungmen eventually found her while he was out communing with the secret spirits of the nature preserve.  He took her in as a second adoptive daughter (the first being Snowbird) after a fashion and helped her come to terms with her lost memory and the strange powers she seemed to possess.

= Alpha Flight =
When Shaman joined Alpha Flight Ananym was reluctant to join, still feeling out of place in the world.  Instead she continued to practice her magical talents on her own while the newly created Alpha Flight began focusing its efforts on defending Canada from other super-powered threats.  Alpha Flight's success was not exactly what the Canadian Government had expected when it sponsored their creation which put the so called Department H in danger of being dissolved.  It came to a head when Alpha Flight had seemingly disappeared from the planet after an encounter with Bedlam.  In an attempt to fix what they did wrong the Canadian Government recruited a replacement for Alpha Flight that they called Gamma Flight.

With Shaman gone a worried Ananym joined Gamma Flight in hopes of finding him again and taking up the mantle of a protector.  She grew stronger through the challenges of being a member of Gamma Flight and even led some of Gamma Flights missions.  Soon enough Alpha Flight returned.

The government wanted Gamma Flight to apprehend and place Alpha Flight into custody, but they naturally refused.  The two teams separated, after a fashion, Gamma Flight remaining the government's team and Alpha Flight become a more private organization.  The two teams had good relations and worked in tandem on several missions.

The government and Alpha Flight eventually reunited which caused Gamma Flight to, effectively, get dissolved.  Some of the former members of Gamma Flight remained behind, such as Ananym.  The teams became split into a number of groups:  Alpha Flight, the primary team that handled missions; Beta Flight, which consisted of people in training status; and soon reestablished Gamma Flight, which was responsible for supporting the other two flights.  Ananym remained a member of Beta Flight for some time before taking up a leadership position of Gamma Flight.

= Darkness Approaches =
The past always catches up with you, for some that is much worse than others.  Ananym began experiencing nightmares that caused her to go into Communion more frequently in an attempt to calm her mind.  Despite the calming effect it had, it also allowed her father, the Demon Lord of Limbo, Belasco, to contact her.  The control he began to exert was subtle at first, culminating in a small summoning spell she used to bring through the Bloodstone Amulet from Limbo into her possession.  Naturally Alpha Flight was away on a mission when the dark powers of Limbo and the Bloodstone Amulet reawoke the demon blood within Ananym's veins.  Fueled by the evil of Belasco's connection to her through some unknown sorcerous working, and empowered by the artifact amulet she became something more than she was before.

Belasco's goal, it seemed, was to create a foothold on Earth that he could use to invade the planet, perhaps to enact or finalize some age old ritual he had long been kept from completing.  Ananym, for her part, created a veritable simulacrum of hell within the halls of Department H.  Demons bubbled forth at her behest, and the students of Beta Flight, and her former allies and subordinates from Gamma Flight were no match for her awakened infernal might.

Alpha Flight returned quickly and began doing what they could to stop Ananym but quickly ran into difficulty dealing with not only her but the demons she had summoned up to serve as her own personal army.  They then reached out for assistance and a team of X-Men, a couple of the Avengers from before the catastrophe, and someone who had personal experience with Belasco:  Magik.

They all played their pivotal roles in the stand-off, but ultimately it was Magik that dealt the final blow.  Using her Soulsword and some concealing powers from the X-Men, she managed to catch Ananym off-guard and thrust the blade through her.  Normally the blow would have been fatal, but instead she simply became incapacitated as her enhanced healing factor was negated temporarily by the power of the Soulsword.  Magik was then able to retrieve the Bloodstone Amulet which was eventually given to Doctor Strange to keep hidden away for safekeeping.

= Aftermath =
Ananym lay not dead but dying, and rather than turn her over to the Canadian Government they secreted her away under the careful supervision of the X-Men after they carefully ensured that the link between Ananym and Belasco had been completely severed.  Ananym lay in comatose slumber for the better part of two months while the world recovered and Alpha Flight repaired their headquarters.

When she awoke her memory of the events was hazy at best, but she knew what had happened, knew the potential for evil that she had hidden away within her, and while her history was still largely a mystery to her, knew more fully where she came from and perhaps what her true purpose was.  Despair set in soon after.  While awake she was still recovering and being kept under close supervision, but she was permitted limited exploration of the facility which was how she met Megan Gwynn.  Megan's contagious optimism eventually helped Ananym to get over her depression, turning it into a stagnant sensation that could develop into something else in the future.

It turned out that the flame that burns brightest also burns shortest, and while the events managed to awaken and enhance her potential some of her skill had seemingly "burned out" after the catastrophe at Department H.  It took her a great deal of time and hard work to rebuild her strength while she healed.  She surmised that she likely couldn't survive another "awakening" like what had happened previously, the courescating infernal power would simply tear her apart.

= Healing =
She healed slowly, but with little lasting damage with the help of the X-Men.  While her physical body knitted itself back together, her emotional scars were soothed by Megan Gwynn with whom she developed a brief relationship.  Megan had her own inherent aptitude for magic and so they practiced their spells with one another as their friendship blossomed into a brief tryst.  They knew that it wouldn't last, just as Ananym knew she couldn't stay with the X-Men forever, so before things got too serious they broke things off and they went their separate ways, maintaining their friendship all the while.

Still she had much to heal, and the despair now fueled a new sensation, a need for atonement.

= Wanderer =
She soon took to the world, leaving everything she knew behind to explore the world and see what adventures she might find along the way.  She encountered some villains as she travelled making at least a small name for herself.  Smaller tasks she felt more suited to, still not trusting herself to do more harm than good.

In her travels she's also accumulated a reasonably good amount of arcane and occult lore, and uncovered a handful of spells.

= Avengers Reassemble =
Either Shadowcat knew of Ananym from her time healing under the care of the X-Men, or someone had recommended her, the new Avengers found in her a loyal companion gifted in the magical arts and now willing to go to any lengths to atone for her past and make use of even evil powers for good.

I'll be filling in the rest of it by tomorrow night I think, depending on how things pan out with Magik  :D

No problem! Alix - who knows more about these two than I do; my expertise lies more in the Symbiote area - informs me that Ananym and Magik are roughly evenly matched, so I don't see any need to rejiggle the powers if that's the case. :-) Once your bio is all complete and updated, let me know and I'll slot her into the Roster!

Also, if anybody knows somebody who might be willing to play Black Cat.... >.>
Yes, I want Black Cat in the game, so sue me! I can have characters I'm hoping get picked, can't I? I'm not gonna turn people away if they DON'T pick Black Cat, but I'm allowed to have a character I hope to see, aren't I? :P
Speaking of which, Alix, have you got a specific character you secretly hope to see pitched? :P

It's not harassment if you already want to do it. My problem, with most group games I've EVER been in, is trying to make sure I'm posting. I'm more successful at times than others, but I'm really stoked to play Sam. It's like when I finished his bio, it all made sense and I was just like "we need to do this shit now, or I'm just going to start posting this guy in his own thread, just living life.

"ummmm...wb...whatcha doin?"

"Posting for Sam"

"Really? Nice! uhhhh, you writing with anyone?"

"Nope, just posted him having some OJ after a run and watching some tv. I'll probably post him going to the bank afterwards..."

Team Role: The Wildcard Sneak

== Physical Description / Clothing ==

Eric Brooks, usually prefers to being called "Blade", has the physical build of an athletic and acrobatic despite his age. Standing at 6'3, Blade ends up keeping a slim, but firm, figure that wouldn't be totally considered heavy set. Naturally, with vampirism running through his veins, Blade is granted peak physical peak that aids him in his nightly hunts and his heroic duties. Black eyes and hair, Blade maintains a military flat-top as his signature look. His teeth are long for a humanoid, but extend when his inner vampire emerges. Usually wearing dark clothing, Blade keeps his casual appearance simple with tank tops and sweat pants. He hardly ventures outside into civilization for anything, but when he does Blade prefers to wear sports sunglasses to block out the sun for his heighten eyes. Normally spotted donning a black vest and a long black trench coat, Blade usually garners attention with his fashion sense in the modern day and age.

Donning the Ronin outfit, Blade keeps his trench coat on over the black, green, and yellow suit that he uses for his "heroic" duties. Armed to the teeth in assorted weaponry, the outfit hides all of them in small storage pockets that are also covered up with the trench coat. The yellow weaves lines over the black frame of the suit with green adding as gauntlets and grieves over his hands and feet. The eyes remain white as most normal superhero suits seen in this modern day. To tie the suit off, a yellow sash hangs from the hips which freely floats in the wind along with the tail end of the coat.

== Personality ==

Blade leaves little room for humor in his life and remains casually straight forward with his words. However, tuning into modern age, Blade has a sense of "angry black man" humor which intimidates many but overall seems hilarious to a third party viewer. To the outside world and people, Blade seems like a well together man who has the interest of others at heart. On the inside, Blade has inner demons he continues to battle due to his affliction and fears of it controlling him. Being as old as he is, Blade often times feels like he is the grandfatherly figure of some heroes being the one who holds more experience. Despite being a vampire, Blade holds love for humanity and hunts the creatures of the night to protect human kind with as little casualty as possible. Often times Blade has battled to save a bitten human from turning over to a vampire, but most of the time he comes to the conclusion that he will do what is necessary for the rest of the human race.

== Key Skills ==

Powers:

Human/Vampire Hybrid: Due to the fact that his mother was bitten by a vampire while giving birth to him, Blade was born with an immunity to the effects of vampire bites, the ability to "smell" supernatural creatures, a greatly prolonged lifespan,sensitivity to bright light various, and superhuman physical capabilities similar to those of vampires.

Superhumanly Acute Senses: Blade's sense of sight and hearing are heightened to levels comparable to those possessed by true vampires. He is capable of seeing objects with perfect clarity at much greater distances than an ordinary human. He retains this same level of clarity even in near-total darkness. Blade's hearing is similarly enhanced, allowing him to detect sounds that an ordinary human can't and to be able to hear sounds an ordinary human can, but at greater distances. Blade is also able to sense the presence of supernatural beings or forces whereas an ordinary human would be oblivious to them.

Superhuman Strength: Blade is supernaturally strong and is capable of lifting about 1 ton.

Superhuman Speed: Blade is capable of running and moving at speeds greater than even the finest human athlete.

Superhuman Agility: Blade's agility, balance and bodily coordination are enhanced to levels that are beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete.

Superhuman Stamina: Blade's musculature generates less fatigue toxins during physical activity than the musculature of an ordinary human. He can exert himself at peak capacity for several hours before fatigue begins to impair him.

Superhuman Durability: Blade's Vampire/Human Hybrid tissue allows him to sustain physical trauma to a certain extent. He can withstand powerful energy blasts, exposure to temperature extremes, and great impact forces without being injured. He's been seen tanking a blast from Lilith herself and walks away with minor burns and injuries.This somewhat contributes to his healing factor. Making him more resistant than a normal human.

Regenerative Healing Factor: Blade, like full vampires, possesses an accelerated healing ability that allows him to heal mild to moderate injuries with much greater speed and efficiency than an ordinary human. Blade is capable of healing from severe slashes and puncture wounds within a matter of seconds to minutes depending on the severity of the wound. Wolverine himself stated that his regeneration was almost on par with his during his fight with blade in the civil war. However, he is not able to regenerate missing limbs or organs.

Prolonged Lifespan: Although not pure vampire, he does have the advantage of being an Hybrid. This includes a Pseudo-Immortality, greatly enhanced lifespan Also no change of his appearance has been seen during his time on earth. Besides losing his hair sometimes.

Immunity To Vampire Vulnerabilities: True vampires have numerous and very particular supernatural vulnerabilities, most of which Blade is totally immune to. For instance, Blade is unaffected by direct exposure to sunlight, whereas most vampires are either rendered comatose during the daylight hours or are quickly incinerated when exposed directly to sunlight. Vampires are also highly allergic to silver, supposedly because of the metal's mystical purity. As a result, silver blades or bullets are capable of killing vampires. If not killed, and merely injured, it will take a vampire much longer to heal than if the injury had been inflicted by another material. Blade himself could be injured by a silver weapon, much as an ordinary human would, but his healing powers would be able to heal it as if it were an ordinary wound. Blade is also immune to the effects of religious icons, such as crucifixes, whereas vampires are rendered almost powerless when confronted by them.

Skills:

Master Martial Artist: Blade is an expert in hand-to-hand combat being very skilled in multiple martial arts through his training with Jamal Afari and instruction under various private instructors. His main form of combat is an eclectic mix of Hapkido, Karate, Jujitsu, Kung Fu, Capoeira, and Jailhouse Boxing.

Expert Marksman: He can throw most projectile weaponry with great aim and is well-versed in the use of firearms.

Expert Swordsman: His particular specialty is the use of edged weapons, be they teakwood daggers or swords.

Weapons Proficiency: Blade is practically proficient in every form of weaponry known to man. His particular speciality is the use of edged weapons, be they teakwood daggers or swords. Blade is a master in the use of small bladed weapons and can hurl knives with great accuracy. Blade also shows great skill with firearms, including both automatic and semi-automatic, which he often modifies to fire hollow-point, garlic-filled silver bullets. He is also a skilled jazz trumpeter.

Expert Stealth: Learning how to hunt vampires over the years, Blade has learned how to cloak his presence from extra ordinary beings and ordinary alike. Be it daylight or shadows, Blade has learned how to blend into any surrounding within a concrete jungle and jungle alike. So long as there is cover that is.

Multi-lingual: Blade is fluent in English, German, Romanian, Japanese. He might be lingual in other languages.

Expert Vehicular driver: He is proficient in driving cars, motorcycles and various other vehicles when needed.

Weaknesses:

Blade does possess one weakness common to all vampires: the need to ingest fresh blood in order to stay alive. However, rather than consume blood, he ingests or injects a specially designed serum that provides even better nourishment that blood would provide. If Blade doesn't drink the serum for an extended period of time, he will weaken and his self control will be stretched. He would be forced to attack a human and consume his or her blood if this period is more than a week. Blade does have a huge amount of blood-serum in his inventory and actually never runs out of energy. One serum is enough for 24 hours of extended combat or he can use it to quickly recover from grave wounds. Although he has a special meditation to maintain his self control. An extended period of time without consuming either blood or the serum will prove fatal.

== Character Background ==

Eric Brooks, the man later known as Blade, was born in Soho, London, in 1929. His father, Lucas Cross, a member of the secret society the Order of Tyrana, sent his pregnant wife Tara to England before he was taken prisoner in Latveria. There she took the name Vanessa Brooks and found shelter with brothel owner Madame Vanity, another member of the Order of Tyrana. Experiencing labor complications, Tara was forced to seek a doctor's assistance. The doctor, Deacon Frost, was actually a ravenous vampire and feasted on the woman as she gave birth, passing on a series of enzymes that altered her baby. The enzymes entered the infant's bloodstream, transforming him into a being tainted by a vampire's kiss, but not converted. In other words half-man, half-vampire. Frost was driven away before he could slay the child, but Tara perished, leaving the orphaned Eric Brooks to be raised at Madame Vanity's brothel.

While he was growing up on the street of London, he ran into American veteran Vampire Slayer, Jamal Afari and saved him from being killed by vampires with a grudge against the old man. Afari soon learned about Eric and his origins' and decided to take him under his wing, becoming his mentor and foster-father and helped him to control his powers. Afari taught Eric everything he knew about hunting, fighting and killing vampires. Determined to avenge his mother's death, Eric fashioned himself into a vampire hunter like Afari while still a teenager and started calling himself Blade, after the sharp weapons with which he used to kill vampires with. Finally Blade and Afari split up when Jamal willingly took the fall for murder when Blade accidentally killed a man (who was suffering from a deranged illness), which he mistook for being a vampire.

Stalking the night on his own for a number of years, Blade had hunted for the man who killed his mother. Through out time, Blade has been on a manhunt for Deacon Frost that span to the the beginning of the 21st century. Through those years, Blade has gained allies and friends who he had aided in heroic endeavors, despite mainly working on the other side of the law, while also continuing his hunt for the undead and Deacon Frost. He has been apart of many teams ranging from the Nightstalkers to MI: 13 and even fought alongside big anti-heroes such as the Punisher. At times, Blade has cross paths with other heroes such as Wolverine and Spiderman who do not agree with Blade's methods.

Due to the tragedy that had befallen the Avengers, Blade was offered by Nick Fury to join a new contingency team that were modeled around the idea that they would be a team that worked in Blade's jurisdiction; doing what needs be done for the sake of the innocents. While not willing to be a team player at first, Blade would stumble upon some of Hawkeye's old gear and found the suit he wore when he donned the Ronin identity. Thinking that hunting vampires was not enough to save the rest of humanity after tragedy after tragedy had befallen the Earth, Blade had ended up accepting Nick Fury's invite while deciding to be a different face in the Super Hero Community as to hide his Blade identity in plain sight.

Thus, Blade was now Ronin of the Wildcards.

Nice! Good to have him on board! :D I'm assuming that Venom - being the leader of the team - knows that it's Blade under the Ronin mask, right? Or has Fury kept that a secret from Venom as well? We'll iron out the specifics of how he joined the team later on - I have a few ideas about that already - but for now, welcome aboard!

In any case, I'll put Blade up as the Wildcard Sneak! :D

Men in general judge more by the sense of sight than by that of touch, because everyone can see but few can test by feeling. Everyone sees what you seem to be, few know what you really are; and those few do not dare take a stand against the general opinion. Therefore it is unnecessary to have all the qualities I have enumerated, but it is very necessary to appear to have them. And I shall dare to say this also, that to have them and always observe them is injurious, and that to appear to have them is useful; to appear merciful, faithful, humane, religious, upright, and be so, but with a mind so framed that should you require not to be so, you may be able and know how to change to the opposite.

I don't mind Venom knowing who he is. The identity concealment is more for the public since Blade is a wanted man by both the living and the dead. This deal with Fury is the only bit a immunity he has from being thrown into SHIELD custody.

Thank you! I'm happy to be aboard.

No problem! Although now I can see Blade and Venom being sparring partners...maybe Blade coaching Venom on the fine points of his technique from the point of view of somebody who makes a living fighting creatures physically stronger than himself - since, y'know, as good as Flash and Venom are, VERY few people are superior to Blade in terms of technique and skill - and Venom teaching Blade how to fight Symbiotes. Since...well, as Flash would say, "Fighting Vampires is dangerous, yes, but Symbiotes are a whole different kettle of fish." I mean. Nobody would argue that there are very few Vampires that are on the same level as a rampaging Symbiote when it comes to danger level, right? :P
I actually don't know; has Blade ever fought a Symbiote like Venom, Carnage or Toxin?
