The Legacy

Personality:
Eliza is first and foremost an opportunist. Good, bad, it doesn't matter, if it advances Eliza in some way then she is down for it. Manipulative is another word that could be used to describe her. People around her are like puppets in a show, set up on courses of her design and made to believe all along that it was the idea of someone else. She will play you like a fiddle, toying and tugging with your emotions, regardless of gender, until you're so mixed up that you don't know which way is up. No one matters, no person is more important to her than herself. And she holds few things higher than her freedom and her record, or lack there of when it comes to the latter. Whisper would prefer that she leave no trace, appear as nobody and a non-entity than have someone trace something back to her. It is very possible that she is actually an undiagnosed sociopath, incredibly charismatic but utterly cold to the needs of the living things around her. Not that she will kill for no reason, no, people are more fun alive but Whisper holds no restraints against killing someone.

History:
"I was born for this" a cold but sultry voice sounded into the smoke filled room. The blonde woman at the end of the desk was too calm for the current situation.

"Please, go on" I spoke urging her to continue. Her eyes turned for but a moment as she thought on what to say next. It was all the time I needed to turn on the tape recorder concealed in the desk. I've got you now... A sigh of relief escaped me as her frigid blue eyes once more came to meet mine. She hadn't noticed me.

"Like i said, I was born into the profession. My father was once the most sought after assassin the world over." Her eyes shifted lightly as she said this, almost as if she was waiting for a response. "I'll save you the headache, you've never heard of him. He wouldn't be very good at his job if just any street urchin knew who he was now would he?" Hiding my displeasure at her comment behind a stern and attentive face I continued to listen to her story. She waited a moment, then a small smile as though she'd gotten what she wanted crossed her lips as she leaned back in her chair. "As he got on in years he came to the existential realization that none of his skill and prestige mattered if there was no one to remember him. A foolish notion but I'm not exactly complaining, I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for his need to maintain some form of legacy." That last bit was dripping with mocking disapproval. "So he sought out a suitable mate. I say a mate because he was not looking for looove or even a partner to raise his offspring. No, all he needed was a receptacle to hold his genetic information for nine months that he could cast aside when the child was born. And that's just what he did. I could be the daughter of a whore for all I know. Father never spoke of my mother and he never showed me that he ever even cared for her. She was a means to an end, a way to meet his goal." Her eyes cast down at this, staring off as though thinking of something. As much as I wanted her locked away for good I couldn't help but feel bad for her. A child born to a loveless bond would be destined for heartache and the look on her face said it all. I sighed, meditating for a moment on her misery before continuing on my own goal of gaining her confession.

"I'm sorry, honestly I am but your lack of a relationship with your mother is not why you're here." I gave a nod towards the cuffs around her wrists to accentuate my point. "So daddy got his legacy and trained you into the perfect little assassin and you two went off into the sunset committing high profile murders. That about right?" I was a bit harsher than I had intended but I wanted her to spit it out, admit to the taking the contracts and carrying out the hits on one of a few cases I'd been tracking. The response I got from her however was not what I expected.

"I killed him," she said leaning in towards me, all the sadness wiped completely from her face.

"I"m sorry you wha..." I began, not entirely sure that I'd heard her correctly.

"Don't make me repeat myself. He taught me to strive for the top, to be the best. You can't be the apex predator when you're standing in its shadow." It was a confession of patricide, I had that. What I didn't have was the name. And that serious stare of hers continued on, piercing me to the very core. Barely retaining my composure I spoke up once more.

"So this was your own idea, no contract was out for your father?"

"You really are thick, I just told you he was good at what he did. Only two types of people knew what he did; those who hired him and those he killed, neither of them were talking much. But people Whisper, people talk, it wasn't hard to drum up a handsome sum for his head. He'd always said, if you're good at something never do it for free." That was it. All I needed was the name of the contractor and I'd have her. I'd ring the bastard dry for information and then I'd pin her down and put her away for good.

"Who'd took out the contract?" My voice fluttered slightly. I could barely contain my excitement. It must have been obvious because a teasing smirk pursed her lips as she fluttered her eyes at me.

"Now honey, as cliche as it sounds, if I told you that I'd have to kill you." Bitch. I had her, she was right here in my office and still she held out. What would it take?!

"I don't think you're in any kind of position to make that sort of threat. Just one name, that's all I need. If you cooperate it could even get your sentence lowered." Her smirk grew into a rather sinister grin. I was safe I knew it, but my hand instinctively hovered over the pistol at my hip. Then she disappeared, evaporating before my eyes into the cigarette smoke.

"Gua.." was all I could choke out as I stood, my pistol in hand as I felt a hand on my wrist force my own gun to my jaw. I struggled, thrashing about in the surprisingly tight grip. Looking down I caught a faint glimpse of the pale feminine arm of my captor and heard the last words that would pass through my mortal ears.

"Ariel Mortimer" and the trigger was pulled.

The Powers

Quiet as a Roar (4 ABI): Whisper has an interesting relationship with sound. While she can not specifically generate sound out of nothing she can control the volume and/or pitch of sounds in her environment. This can be used to a variety of effects including changing her voice, muting the sound of her own movements, creating a deafening roar from a pin drop and many more.

Now You See Me... (2 ABI): Whisper is capable of dissipating into a fine odorless mist becoming nearly intangible. She can sustain this form for up to two posts (cooldown = duration) and can move through even the tiniest of cracks. If she is stuck in a situation where there is not enough room to reform, she will maintain her mist form until there is adequate space for her human form. However, extending her abilities this way is extremely draining and will render her unconscious upon reforming.

Like a Book (2 ABI): The literal ability to read people, Whisper has a form of empathy that allows her to read people "like a book". In a quick encounter with Whisper it is not hard for her to determine a person's basic personality. After any extended amount of time observing a person it becomes possible for her to determine how an individual will react to most stimuli and after more than a day it's not unlikely that she has even figured out a generalized timeline of their past. Combined with her intellect, even the most expert of liars cannot pull the wool over her eyes and no emotion can he hidden without her knowledge.
