Allison Carson
Genres: Crime Drama/Gangs/Law Enforcement/Heros

Allison was raised by her father, a single parent. Her mother passed away when she was young. Too young to remember, in fact. For as long as she could remember, it was just her and her father. He was a FBI agent, and former military special forces before that. He'd made a career out of bringing down drug rings and crime lords, until one day it killed him. She was 13 years old when it happened. Her father's partner, Joe, who was practically family already after having worked alongside her father for decades, was the one to tell her, picking her up from school that same day to break the news to her. She was devastated. Her entire world fell apart, ripped right from beneath her feet. Since she had no living relatives, she became a ward of the state. Joe and his wife ended up taking her into their home as foster parents. They were good to her, but she'd changed after her father's death. She was a broken and quiet girl, and mostly stayed cooped up in her room at all hours. She didn't want to engage in the things she'd been involved in her before her father died, like playing the piano. In fact, before his death, she was a well-known piano prodigy. It had been her dream to play, and even at such a young age she had the attention of some of the biggest music schools in the country. But she hadn't played since that day her father died, and she never would again.
As she got older, she began to want to understand what her father had been fighting for, and what he died for. Eventually she made the decision to follow in his footsteps, wanting to become an FBI agent, just like. Joe, still being in the FBI, didn't stop her. He encouraged her. He personally began to train with her every day, starting with the basics. How to fight. How to defend herself. She eventually went on to college, and earned a degree in criminal justice, but her training with Joe continued, all in preparation for the FBI training academy. After she received her degree she immediately went to the academy, and due to her skill, they moved her into a more specialized training program. Ultimately she went through intense conditioning and training to specialize in undercover assignments. She was put undercover for the first time at 24 years old, and her performance was stunning. After that first assignment, the FBI began moving her all over the country to bring down major crime rings. Finally she was picking up where he father had left off.
Joining the FBI was never something her father wanted for her, especially the life of being undercover. Allison was perfect for these assignments though, having no real attachments to the outside world. She was undercover for months at a time, sometimes even up to a year, depending on the assignment. Eventually, Allison learns a deep dark secret about her father's death, one that the FBI has purposefully kept hidden from her. Joe killed her father. Joe is actually the leader of his own illegal operation. After a crime ring has been brought down, the FBI follows up by cleaning out all warehouses of their inventory (drugs, weapons, tech, etc). Usually, stuff like that is booked as evidence and eventually destroyed. But Joe has made a business out of taking such inventory and selling it on the black market for a profit. He's bribed many other FBI agents into helping him carry this out, and over the years, his network has grown quite substantially. Her father found out, and upon offering her father to join him, he instead declined and threatened to report him. Needless to say, that is the reason why Joe killed the man. Now he's used Allison to continue his work. After she has brought a crime ring down, he's gone behind her to retrieve the inventory. Allison realizes that everything she thought she knew over the past decade has been a lie. She realizes she's been deceived and used.
Ideas for AllisonUndercover: Allison is undercover in Chicago, working a big assignment. She's yet to discover what Joe has done, but this is the case which will eventually lead her to figuring it all out. But first, she mets the son of the crime boss who she's supposed to be bringing down. Something about him is different from the others. He doesn't want this life, though he doesn't have much of a choice. Can Allison help him? Or is it too late to save him? She's trying to figure that out as she gets to know him. Though she's continuing to keep her true identity a secret. But happens when he figures out who she is first? Will he kill her, like his father would expect him to do? Or has he already become too attached to her?
Eventually, when Allison does find out about what Joe has done, I was going to link the crime boss to her father's death as well. Her father was actually working to bring down this same crime boss, and when her father threatened to report Joe's activities, Joe turns him over to the crime boss, who is ultimately the one who pulled the trigger (i.e. YC's father).
Rogue: After discovering what Joe has done, Allison decided to go after him. She is out for revenge, and when she finds him, she quickly puts an end to his activities by putting a bullet between his eyes. But she's not going to stop there. Every agent who was involved in Joe's network will pay for what they did, and she slowly starts eliminating them one by one. Can she be saved? And if so, then who could possibly save her?
After the fall-out: Similar to the idea above, Allison has already figured out what Joe did. She hunted him down and killed him in cold blood. She made it look like self-defense, and after the FBI investigated her for his murder, they dropped any pending charges and let her go. Allison resigns from the FBI and immediately goes off-grid. She knows that she's pissed off a lot of FBI agents who were once involved in Joe's network, so her list of enemies has easily doubled. She's decided to hide while the dust settles, but it's not long before someone else, other than the FBI finds her.
For this idea, I am wanting to go back to the life of crime. I am thinking that someone from the world of crime has a run in with her. Maybe a crime boss, or your more traditional gang leader. Something happens where she finds herself in the middle of a scene. Perhaps they are both sitting in the same bar, a bar in his territory, when he gets ambushed. She steps up to save both their asses. He's impressed with her skills, but after they've dealt with the situation at hand, she disappears to go back into hiding. He wants to know who she is. So he starts looking for her. With a network of eyes on the streets, he has everyone looking for someone who could match her description. Finally, weeks laters, someone spots her, and he goes to confront her, finally able to get some answers. Who is she? How was she able to do all that she did, given their dire situation? To her surprise, she's honest about who she is, or was. Ex-FBI, special agent for undercover assignments. He offers her a job to come work for him, claiming that he's worried that he might have an undercover cop somewhere within his ranks. She's reluctant at first, but she accepts to help him. However, she declines a permanent job within his ranks. Her help is temporary, and will end once she's found his mole. That's good enough for him. But as time goes on, as she begins to work alongside him, she wonders if she will ever be able to leave. He's given her purpose again. He's offered her family. Loyalty. Something that the FBI couldn't give her.
Traditional Super Hero Story: This is more cliche. Your basic cop and Super Hero pairing. For this story, we can change up some details so that she isn't exactly undercover all of the time. She's just your typical fed, working alongside local law enforcement to bring down crime rings in major cities, when a new Hero enters the scene.
