Physical Appearance

Prior to her unwilling involvement with the Dominus organization Jennifer Paxton was a relatively normal looking teenager, generally considered one of the 'pretty girls' when she was back in high school although not to the extent that she'd have boys falling for her every whim and demand. She has naturally wavy brunette hair which, for the most part, was extremely well taken care of when she still had the mental capacity to do so, nowadays it still retains its glossy chocolate appearance yet is an absolute mess of tangled and unkempt hair. Jennifer has supple fair skin dotted with faint freckles if one were to look hard enough; a trait that she inherited from her deceased mother. Surprisingly she was also born with the rare yet harmless birth defect known as heterochroma, where her irises are different colours, in her case being a bright sky blue and a deep crimson. Although her startling eye colours are a great asset they do not overwhelm her generally symmetrical and youthful visage but rather add a further factor to her overall ethereal appearance. She has naturally pouted feminine lips, which sit under her slender button nose and hold the same pink shade as her rosy cheeks.

Due to the questionable tests forced onto her body by Dominus, Jennifer's once curvaceous teenage physicality has been whittled away into a leaner, starveling form. Her pale limbs, which ripple with black veins and extremely dense yet slender muscles are one of the many results of the horrid experiments her father forced onto her. Whilst the tests on her body may have compromised much of her femininity the young woman still retains glimpses of the girly features she so prided herself in back when she was a ‘normal human’. Dainty hands and feet are always coloured with nail polish (a trait she has retained even after her loss of self determination) and several piercings remain from her years as a ‘rebellious daughter’. Due to her current mental state Jennifer has developed an intense dislike of footwear, often becoming exceedingly agitated when she is forced to wear such things.

Personality

Tranquil. Empty. Mutilated. What more could one use to describe the tormented hollow shell of a young woman whose very essence as a person was ripped away from her? All forms of rationality, memory retention, proper speech, and intelligence have been purposefully removed to enhance her monstrous power. Because of this, Jennifer's personality is eerily childlike, comparable to someone with high functioning autism. For example, if sent on a mission to kill, she may get distracted and wander off, only to tear apart anyone foolish enough to approach her or get in her way. Similarly her volatile mental state has resulted in the extreme dislike of people touching her or even being within a 10 meter radius of her, such close physical contact will cause a violent tantrum that will more often than not result in the death’s of those around her. Jennifer does not speak in sentences due to her modifications, only saying a few drawling syllables at a time such as an infant would. The only coherent phrase she has ever spoken is her own name, her father's and hybrid gibberish that many believe to be attempted communication. This disintegration of her mental and emotional capabilities Jennifer’s soul has quite literally been torn apart and reassembled so that only the artificial killer instinct remains. She is no longer the fun loving teenager gushing with hopes, dreams and talent but rather, the perfect puppet and bane of the metahuman race; the epitome of mankind’s abuse of power and knowledge.

When not on the field or in a laboratory of some sort Jennifer is often left locked in her room to whittle away the hours before her next mission. Whilst many would assume that a 'mindless' creature such as her would do nothing constant surveillance has revealed that the young woman does indeed act out on her own during her brief moments of freedom. Due to the striking similarities between her mental state and that of someone with autism, Jennifer has developed a routine schedule which she dedicatedly follows whenever she is let on her own. Much like her programmed killing sprees Jennifer remains immaculate with her delivery and cleanliness and is often found wandering around her room eliminating any blemish, mark or speck of dust that would possibly catch her eye. A significant obsession of hers has been revealed to be flowers, they constantly surround the young woman in her room (by her father's orders of course) and it is often used as a medium to subdue her whenever she is having a tantrum.

Jennifer demonstrates a strange habit when killing her victims, stabbing them with her bare hand in the same location as the scar located just above her heart. Whether she is ‘consciously’ aware of this habit or not is currently unknown. These peculiar quirks of hers have been routinely and rigorously studied to determine the roots of such strange behaviour, many experts believe that shards of her old subconscious are leaking through into her new form, making her all the more ferocious. Studies have concluded that Jennifer no longer possesses self determination and that her rabid behaviour is all based on instinct and what 'Daddy' says. Whether or not Jennifer is conscious of her actions there is no doubt that she will continue hunting down and destroying any possible metahuman threat that dares stand in the way of her father's dreams.

History

Jennifer Paxton, born on the 27th of April 2007, weighing 7 lbs and measuring at 19 Inches. A perfectly healthy baby with no noticeable flaws other than the startling yet harmless genetic defect known as heterochroma, these different eye colours set her apart almost immediately from all the other newborn's, a special little kink in her makeup. Jennifer grew up in a loving home, a father and mother who doted and protected her with the utmost consistency and tender care, a human girl was blessed with a childhood free of pain and trouble. She was filled with bliss and had barely a care in the world, metahumans were just a fantastical addition to her life and were an awe inspiring source of wonder and fantasy that inspired her imagination and playtime. This innocence and naivety was something her mother and father wanted to prolong, neither of them had the willpower to open up the truths of conflict between the humans and the metahumans...how could they spoil their young daughter's heroes? At the time of her budding childhood her father, Adam Paxton, had taken complete charge of the metahuman security agency, Dominus and his mildly skewed perspectives of the more 'gifted' race had him at odds with his young child....not that he would openly admit it.

Her relatively carefree life however came at an abrupt end when her mother passed away from breast cancer and at the young age of 13 jennifer Paxton was tossed into the unforgiving seas of reality, her childish hopes and dreams dashed by the cruel twist of fate that took her mother away. Neither her nor her father could cope with the heavy loss and both eventually relied on their own unique ways of dealing with the pain. Whilst Adam Paxton became engrossed in his mission against the rising threats against the free world, Jennifer spun into a rebellious lifestyle and before she had even reached legal age she had trifled with drugs, alcohol and sex to rid her body of the pain and desperation. Her beloved mother had perished and her father had become a distant figure, a man who shamelessly chose his work over his only child...and much of said work did involve patients he 'nurtured' much more enthusiastically than his rebellious teenage daughter. Jennifer's life had spiralled into chaos, a girl screaming out for affection and answers; one who eagerly gave away her body for that slight glimpse of joy and pleasure...only to have it thrown back at her, leaving her in the relentless cold. This need for acceptance eventually resulted in the teenager crossing paths with a small time crook, a small time crook with powers. Her childish fascination with metahumans had reached this twisted chapter in her life when she devoted her love and time to the petty their only known as the 'Silver Shadow'.

For two whole years she would frolic with this young man, living the highs and lows as a girl without boundaries and one who had a man to finally take proper care of her. Compared to the more 'advanced' member of his race the Silver Shadow possessed a mild form of invisibility, allowing for easy thefts and burglaries that more often than not went unnoticed by the wider community. Jennifer had completely fallen in love with the very species that her father had come to loathe and in another twisted turn of fate this very partner of hers was listed as a target for the Dominus organization...something her father was directly involved in.

Even though Adam had remained aloof and distant during the years after his wife's tragic death he still retained a watchful eye over his child, monitoring her slow descent into depravity and ensuring that she would never become the target for the local authorities. His love for her was transferred to the young agents who had grown up within the organisation, Sheryll Paxton being one of them. Neither of his daughter's knew of each other's existence, one was his biological seed and the other was pride and joy, a child grafted into the fine arts of anti-metahuman defence. Although it may seem strange that he would finally interfere with Jennifer's immaturity even though he had missed much of her teenage life, discovering that his own flesh and blood was partnered up with a metahuman had his temper flaring. On the 23rd of August 2024 Adam Paxton sent a squad of troopers after the Silver Shadow, on a shoot to kill order and to detain the metahuman's female accomplice. The mission was a success, the young thief was gunned own in his backyard and Jennifer was hastily snatched away from the public eye...never to be seen again.

Justifying his own daughter's kidnapping by stating she was in league with a dangerous individual Adam Paxton's twisted morality had finally driven him over the edge. Acknowledging his daughter's decline into a guaranteed life of pain and rebellion he aimed to have her never leave his side, become the daughter she was meant to be. After her kidnapping she never woke up, never had a chance to mourn the loss of her partner or return to the life she had so desperately clung to...her father made sure that this rebellion if hers was going to end the instance her body entered the Dominus compound. She was a lost cause, an embarrassment of a child and the example of his greatest failure...all that was to change once her comatose body became the organization's property.

Adam Paxton stood by his daughter every step of the way. Monitoring her progress as his scientists lobotomised her and gradually transformed her into the finest weapon Dominus had ever created. Adam finally had a chance of redeeming himself, making his daughter the 'perfect' girl like she was always meant to be...as his moral boundaries began to crumble the experiments on his daughter gradually became worse. They tore at her mind and penetrated her flesh, staining her already broken spirit with twisted science and half learned magic, all in the hopes that Jennifer follow in her father's footsteps as his mindless puppet and loyal servant. As time passed and through constant trial and error Dominus' most secret faction had finally succeeded in creating a macabre masterpiece. The years of desperately attempts in creating the most powerful counter to the meta human threat had finally succeeded...all because Adam Paxton had tossed aside his humanity.

Now that Jennifer, otherwise known as Persephone, had undergone the constant tests, simulations and experiments she could now become the child Adam would be proud of...one who never argued back, never questioned his authority and created a living hell for anyone foolish enough to stand in his way. She is the perfect puppet, a young woman created for the sole purpose of genocide and a being whose very life was snatched away from the man who was meant to be there for her during those times of suffering.

Time will only tell if the real Jennifer ever returns...

Powers and Abilities

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Powers

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Body, Mind and Spirit; a tightly interwoven trinity that makes the human species the apex race that it is. Having undergone the immoral experiments by her father and his cohorts, Jennifer has now been transformed into the perfect vessel for the triad that makes up mankind. DNA was sourced from a variety of gifted hosts and implanted into her genetic code, allowing the previously normal human girl the power of several metahumans combined.

Her body, mind and spirit now work in complete and utter unison. Each form plays a specific role, enhanced to counter-act the variety of powered beings throughout the free world. The trinity of powers perfectly compliments one another and pose unique yet equally alarming threats to the metahuman race spanning the globe. Nothing can escape her reach, no barrier is too impenetrable and no foe is too intimidating for Dominus’ perfect puppet.

Body – The temporary shell that encases the mind and spirit, the path of the ‘body’ allows exceedingly powerful vigor and strength to course through Persephone’s veins, as if an ancient pantheon had blessed her. This was achieved through gene splicing and tearing out the mutated muscle fibers from various superhumans and grafting them into her body. This astounding physicality is practically unmatched when taking the path of the ‘body’, her eerie tranquility combined with her horrid strength is not only excruciatingly terrifying but a clear example of the lengths used to make her such a physical powerhouse.

Superhuman strength - Through the forced inclusion of the metahuman strand into her genetic code Persephone has been gifted with the collective power of several captured super humans. Her muscle strength has become so concentrated and dense that an immeasurable amount of power now resides within her slim form. She is capable of lifting and destroying exceedingly large objects that would naturally weigh much more than a person of her build and is capable of focusing her strength into powerful jumps that can allow reach frighteningly tall heights. This terrifying strength is however, watered down whenever she is wearing her protective suit, reducing it to 60%.
Superhuman durability - In this form her skin hardens and the tissue becomes so dense that standard human weaponry shatters when coming into mere contact with it, most energy based attacks also fall short when aimed at her. Just like her strength the invulnerability stems from the combined genes of captured metahuman's, gifting her with a physical defence like none other. Her body has become highly resistant to damage and as a result of the constant testing has allowed her biology to naturally fight against all kinds of known sicknesses and disease.
Superhuman speed - The path of the body will grant Persephone nigh unmatchable speed that can only be equalled by the most gifted metahumans (Class 4 and up). Her eyes process information during such impressive bursts of speeds that time appears to have slowed down, allowing her to easily perceive what would normally be moving too fast to see and respond accordingly.
Dowsing - Persephone is able to use this systematic method in order to track down various objects and people. It can also be used to track organic life (metahumans in particular) through specific objects they've touched. A more specific form of tracking.
Triquetra Shift - Allows Persephone to shift into her Mind or Spirit form.

Mind– The mind is the pilot operating the vessel that is the body; a shrewd, meticulous and complex feature of the triquetra that has been completely obliterated and rebuilt for Persephone’s main role as the metahuman’s bane. The Mind’s perception organizes raw bodily sensations due to various kinds of bio-electro-magnetic vibrations into familiar entities such as recognizable colors, sounds, smells and tastes, movements and processes. Jennifer’s brain has been completely wiped and overwritten, the parts that used to process emotion now reshaped to play a role in strengthening her predatory consciousness. However, when she is in this form, slivers of her old personality manage to creep back, resulting in a strange phenomenon whereby her programming mist compete with the sudden mental overload. This is however an unfortunate side affect, for even though her conscious has somewhat returned it has been reduced to an insane and ruthless counterpart to what it once was…making her all the more dangerous.

Ballistic Telekineses - Persephone's unstable mind has awakened in this form and the effects of doing so are devastating and can be clearly seen with her potent telekinesis. She can cause any nearby objects to be moved around at high speeds, explode or to be propelled away from her at startling velocities without much conscious effort on her part. This telekinesis is an extremely powerful variant of what many metahumans possess and is the main offence used when she is in this form.
Energy absorption - A powerful defence which can nullify almost all energy based attacks aimed at her vicinity. All forms of elemental and magical energies are quickly absorbed into the shimmering white orb that surrounds her body, giving her sustenance and further powering up her telekinetic abilities. This shield of hers can only ever be penetrated when overwhelmed with extremely powerful energy based attacks and even then it would have to be achieved through the combined efforts of more than one foe.
360 Vision - Her 'minds eye' awakens in this form and Persephone is granted the ocular ability of having a complete view of everything around her, leaving surprise attacks nullified and pointless.
Triquetra Shift - Allows Persephone to shift into her Body or Spirit form.

Spirit – The path of the Spirit is the domain of authentic spirituality, beyond mind and magic, beyond space-time, beyond structure and parts, beyond energies, no matter how subtle, celestial or heavenly, and beyond any form of egocentricity or selfishness. Persephone becomes a pure being truly absolute, nondual or non-relative. Adam’s abuse of the scant knowledge provided to him by a variety of sources has led to the foolish application of connecting his daughter to the Soul-stream, the constant force that surrounds the earth. Persephone’s power reaches it’s critical level in this state, taking place between the corporeal and non-corporeal. The combination of tainted ‘magic’ combined with new age science has allowed the young woman to supersede the boundaries between the earthly mortals and the soul stream. Tapping into this power will not only disrupt the very fabric of the metahuman race but the generations to come; in this form she is a virus polluting what was never meant to be touched, a malicious being capable of genocide and terror.

Currently unknown

Abilities

Tranquil State - Due to the shameless reworking of her mental and emotional capabilities Persephone has been left in the constant state of pure yet eerie tranquility, allowing her to remain calm in virtually any situation. This allows her to 'think' with perfect clarity, even when under extreme emotional or physical distress that would shatter the normal human. She is essentially immune to emotional manipulation and highly resistant to torture and will go about doing her job with the artificial calm. This can however be ruined if someone repeatedly enters her personal space or touches her, resulting in swift retribution from her hands.

Surprisingly this state of tranquility does not apply to her when she is in her 'mind' form. She is much more talkative when in this form, her usual gurgles and incoherent mumblings replaced with shrill cries and disturbing threats.
Programmed Self Defence - Persephone has been routinely trained in a variety of martial arts which have been cemented into her brain whenever in 'combat mode'. Although not as nearly impressive as those with supernatural fighting skills her artificial knowledge of such things grants her formidable skill in the art of self demesnes.

Trivia

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Jennifer's body has been modified to the extent that she no longer needs sustenance such as food or oxygen to help her survive. The chemistry involved in making her more powerful has also resulted in the young woman having black blood.
the DNA of various metahumans have been used throughout her creation; notable example include Nightkill, Anu and Jennifer's deceased boyfriend.
Studies have revealed that Persephone is capable of dreaming whenever sleeping. Such a strange occurrence was an unprecedented phenomena...although Dominus think nothing of this, believing that her subdued consciousness has nothing to do with it.
