OOC: Concept and Timeline (Updated regularly)
Shadow Name: Jinx
Mortal Alias: Gemma Lassiter
Real Name: Unknown
Path: Moros
Order: Free Council
Legacy: (Still in the works) - Name: Katakrisimos, or "The Judged" / Nickname: The Half-Dead
Concept: Snake-Charmer, Hacker L33T, Runaway Rebel, Alleyway Geek With A Dark Streak
Physical Description:
This pied-eyed street kid of 21 stands at a rough 5'6, packing herself around in loose black cargos and anything else that's comfortable. The laptop bag at her side swings easily as she pushes up the mottled brown frames on her nose with a dry smile.
Character Inspirations:
*Any of Charles De Lint's books
*Pamela (from the manga Tarot Cafe by Sang-Sun Park and Jung-Su Kim)
*Dark City (the movie)
*Requiem for a Dream (the movie)
*Hackers (the movie)
*Rose Red (from the comic Fables by Bill Willingham)
*Most of the .Hack//Liminality soundtracks
Quote: "Hmm? Oh, well I'm no white rabbit and this sure as hell isn't any movie. I hope you've got the payment I require for this kind of nouvelle vague, otherwise, take a look at the shelf behind me and look real hard at the jars in the back... They look so nice, don't they? All in one neat little row... like graves."
Jinx gets her kicks from overladen knowledge of technology. You say rewire it, hack it, fix it, and with the right pay she'll counter with a how fast do you need it done? This little technojammer has a hell of a wrench for a mind, consisting off the streets from the tender age of fifteen, she's found her way through her pecking order, a quality which might have won her over to the Silver Ladder, but which called more evenly with the modern out-take of the Council.
She's got a dark humor about her, easy to a joke but blunt to a fault in the right circumstances. She doesn't play where business is concerned, but she's not against kicking back and grabbing a beer when the time is free. She lives the low-key lifestyle but makes no restraint when it comes to the latest tech she can get her hands on.
Rough Time line:
08.07.84 Born in Huntsville, AL.
10.11.97 (or was it 96?) Meets fictionfu
09.01.99 Attempts suicide after attempted double homocide in a drug induced state. She awakens in the hosipital and after some therapy and persuasion on her mother's part is allowed to return home. Runs away as soon as possible.
11.15.99 Moved to Memphis, TN. Meets a Thyrsus who helps her understand what she is.
02.04.00 Moves out to various western states in the next few months, joins a hacker community called the Tattered Box.
01.01.01 Successfully enters into an US electronic crime circle. Moves to Chicago, IL.
02.10.01 Has some business with smokenmirror which turns into a relationship and then ends badly in...
05.13.01 When she books it out of Chicago and takes a plan to Oxford, England on business after a rather nasty break-up that left too many people asking questions they shouldn't. Joined the Free Council in Oxford via an astrophysicist named Kepler. Studies with him.
10.26.01 Leaves Oxford on a plane to Atlanta, GA. Sets up shop there for a few years, working up a reputation amongst her own circles for her skill through steady contracts.
07.02.02 - 10.20.02 Is introduced to TokenTales Papa Twilight. Begins Mentoring him. He leaves for business in October.
11.8.02 - 12.19.02 Papa Twilight TokenTales returns for final tutelage.
01.15.03 Takes a small trip up to NYC for a couple of weeks to help sorjourner set up a studio. Goes back to Atlanta afterwards.
02.21.03 - 03.15.03 Does a job with TokenTales Papa Twilight before leaving off again.
08.04.03-10.10.03 Romps around in Britain.
11.2003 Makes a brief stop in Cinncinati. Gets into a wreak. Recovers for a month with the help of urban_mystic.
03.14.04 In Atlanta, GA again. Has business with TokenTales Papa Twilight.
06 or 07 of 2004 Goes to Washington DC to help Passionsbounty with a job and collect.
10.2004 Spends a few weeks in Los Angeles. Has a run-in with fictionfu.
11.15.04 Flies out to Armidale, Australia to help Deckland and Fenrus with programming an FC Sanctum stronghold.
Things I still need:
-More underworld/crime connections computer based or otherwise. (Information seekers are a big hit)
-Guardians of the Veil with whom she just does not get along for one reason or another.
-Silver Ladder people pre-2001.
-Other relations: friends or target practice.
-Former members of the Tattered Box.
Sound's interesting? Drop a line.
