[edit] Background

Abigail Talonfist was born October 30, 1379 on Er'rith, in the town of Ahimsa, on the continent of Brahmanticus. Her family was nobility, a long standing ruling lineage. She was the youngest of five siblings and the only female born in her generation. Her eldest brother Alex killed their parents when she was three months old and her Metoscuret'Tur (half dark elf) elder brother Janus surrendered himself and Abigail to Alex to protect her life. Janus raised her in captivity for ten years, training her in his assassin arts, as well as swordplay. At age ten, Abigail was taken by Janus when he escaped their brother and went into hiding with him for three years. Janus decided that Abigail, at thirteen years old, was old enough to care for herself and they went their separate ways. Shortly after this split, Abigail's mutant abilities surfaced. She found she could manipulate energy with her hands, turning her fists into deadly weapons. Her lifestyle became nomadic, traveling from place to place and selling her skills as an assassin, keeping a low profile so her murderous eldest brother would not locate her. She continued this way for two years, until rumors of a powerful sage kept crossing her ears, intriguing her about magical ability. She tracked down the sage and paid him a visit, only to find that the sage, through magical means, had forwarning of her visit and thought she was coming to kill him. He engaged her in battle when she arrived, but the fighting stopped when her mutant ability showed. The sage thought it was magic but Abigail explained that she did not use spells or amulets to manipulate energy. The sage saw this as a great potential and offered her a deal. She would perform tasks and duties as he set forth and in return he would teach her magic. She became the sage's apprentice and stayed in this role for five years without interruption. At age 20 Abigail was reunited with her Metadet'Eri Lythari (half-elven werewolf) elder brother Jynx Talonfist. She also met his best friend Mikeel "Morbius" Silverhand, a vampire. She left her apprenticeship with the sage and traveled with Jynx and Morbius, fighting in the battles between Jynx's legion and that of his twin brother Magnus. She fell in love with Morbius and they were married when she was 23. A year after their marriage Abigail gave birth to a daughter, Miriam. When Miriam was two years old, Morbius was killed in a skirmish against Magnus' legion. Morbius chose to abide his honorable death in battle and not return to 'life', though he could have. Abigail left Jynx's legion to mourn Morbius, returning to her hometown of Ahimsa. Once settled in at home, she needed something to occupy her time, so she started policing the region's magical activities. In 1405 she heard of a powerful relic that had fallen into the wrong hands. The relic, Cadenas D'Dimensitus or Dimensional Necklace, was in the possession of a mad mage named Malakhyte Onyxstaff. She left Miriam in the care of her brother Jynx and his family and set off to locate the mage and the relic. She traveled to the coastal city of Tychismia and there met up with a party of adventurers, heading toward the Bhakti Mountains to look for treasure said to be hidden there. Abigail's path lay the same way so she joined the group and formed a bond with them. They reached the mountain and found that the mage that Abigail was hunting down was in fact in control of the mountain's magical defenses. He created much chaos, injury and death trying to keep the party from their goal. Abigail found him finally, with only one of her companions remaining. The mad mage Onyxstaff was not alone. He had an otherwordly being with him, the Envoy of Shadows. Onyxstaff killed her last remaining companion as Abigail was using her magic spells to try to fight the Envoy. Her spells were useless and in desperation she picked up her fallen comrade's sword as the Envoy deployed a portal to return to his own dimension. She threw herself at the Envoy, attacking with the sword, but the Envoy was also attacking her. They ended up stabbing each other, impaled on each other's blades. The Envoy fell into the portal he had opened, taking the dying Abigail with him. Her physical body disintegrated as she passed through to the other dimension, leaving her in a spectral state. Her trip through the portal took a year, during which she was offered a bargain by her pantheon. She would be able to retain her soul and remain in the physical realms, as long as she sought out her murderer and avenged her death. She accepted the bargain and was granted the ability to move from dimension to dimension, to search for her murderer. She ended up on Earth in 1406,in the Pinnacle dimension, in the area that would eventually become Paragon City. She found a dead body to possess, a young female of a local native tribe. She spent 300 years molding and changing this body, entrenching her spirit in the flesh. She eventually managed to fully possess the body, making it appear to be alive and using it to move around and act like a living being. She managed to change the appearance of this body and make it look as she did when she was alive. Almost another 300 years passed before she jumped dimensions again, following the trail of her murderer. Neither dimension held the true Envoy that had ended her life on Er'rith. She followed the trail to her current dimensional residence, Virtue.

[edit] Powers / Abilities

[edit] Energy Manipulation / Blasts

Abigail in her homeworld is not just a Sorceress but she was also born a mutant. She is able to manipulate energy, able to use them as an extra battering ram for her fists that can seriously damage any object she concentrates her powers on in full force. Not only she mastered her manipulation, but she has learned how to combine both her mutant abilities with magical incantations. She can project Energy Blasts by simply wording a spell. She then learned all her incantations so well that she can now word her spells in her mind.

[edit] Invulnerability / Dual Blades Tanker

‎
She's able to channel her energy manipulation and create her body into different types of shields to have resistance to all physical and elemental damage. She also carries two longswords which were formerly her late husband's. They were crafted by a sage combining adamantium metal along with diamond edges giving them a not only cleaving feel but, also the ability to cut through or atleast hightly damage any type of armor.

[edit] Broadsword / Regeneration Scrapper

While she inhabited the Victory Dimension, She carried a sword she conjured out of pure magical proportions. Matilda was named by the fallen comrade Abigail took it from in her fight with the Envoy of Shadows. Matilda, just like Lilac and Magnolia, The sword can change shape with a mere thought from Abi. Abi has also mastered the abilities of regeneration through combat due to her mastery of regeneration through molding her body for 300 years when she first came to the Earth Dimension and inhabited a dead body.

[edit] Broadsword / Shield Defense Scrapper

As she mastered both single and dual combat swordsmanship, Abi would place Matilda, Lilac and Magnolia away for a while trying to focus her Magical and Mutant abilities in strenghtening generic shields, focusing both her powers and abilites onto them. The more she focuses her shield abilities the better she can shape shift them as well as make them stronger to resist any type of damage being thrown at her.

[edit] Flight

At her death, her body perished in the portal, leaving her in a spectral state. Once she took over a host, she concentrated her spectral flying ability onto her new body. Although she can fly as fast as the fastest fighter jet, she tends to tone it down since she knows she's likely to topple skyscrapers with her sonic boom.

[edit] Abilities

Her variety of visions aren't because of her mutant abilities nor magical sorcery, but it is an inherent due to her Metadet'Eri (Half-Elven) genes. She is able to have infra,ultra and dark visions for a good 120 yds. out 360 degrees. Due to her spectral form she is able to sense anyone with stealth and ghost-like abilities in a 10 yrd. radius. Once detected she is able to tell whether it is a threat or not. Since her death she is also able to communicate with the dead aswell as meditate into an astral plane to communicate with either her own gods or the gods of the different dimensions. On and off combat she has the ability to change from corporeal to incorporeal. Abigail is also a master strategist in all sorts of perilous situations, knowing strategic combat similar to warrior legions of the past from European Legions to those of the Oriental Legions. She also knows modern Armed Forces combat drills aswell. Along with her mastering her magical abilities with her own mutant ones, Abigail is an excellent sorceress, since she was tutored by a very powerful sage back in her homeworld. She has the ability to learn all spells and translate them from different dialects from ancient to modern. During her mastery her spectral state aswell as mutation abilities that resurfaced, she is able to not only communicate with other beings privately by mindlink, but for a small period of time she is able to read minds and auras aswell.

[edit] Current Affiliations

• Bruisefairy - Nethari Rivers Has always been Abi's first choice of battle sister. Ever since they've met in the Victory Dimension, they've been inseperable. Abi has alot of sisters, but... "Nethari will always be my one and only truest sister since her and I have been through thick and thin, Love you Thari. Even when you're a snarky bitch" *winks and giggles*. Tactically alike, Abi is a force of nature herself, but pair her up with Nethari and the two are just like two Mega-Hurricanes passing through. When they both pass, only mangled bodies are seen.

• Nocturnal Misfits - When Abi and Nethari were in the Victory Dimension, They both were members of the Original Nocturnal Misfits that they have founded together. As Abi ventured first to the Virtue Dimension, Abi sought to revive the group once more only this time founding it with her brother Jynx Talonfist. Later on the Misfits recruited more members that either were outcasts of society or shared the same values as Abigail. Later they've regained the assistance of the original Nethari Rivers. Although this is Abi's second band of heroes she has founded, unlike her first group, "Elite Hunters of Paragon", she sees that this is the group she would and will continue to call a family and home.

• Knucka Sammich - Abi met Nico Benedetti through her experience as the Baroness. Although not sure if Knucka has figured out that Abi isn't the Baroness yet, Abi herself has grown attached to the Marauders' maniacal head honcho. Something about Nico's morals of a person remind Abi of herself. Knowing that she's in full danger of Nico turning on her once she finds out Abi was an ex-cape, she continues to form a strong bond with her.

• The Nocturnal Marauders - Her counter parts to the Nocturnal Misfits from Paragon City, Abi noticed her being an affiliate when she was approached to by Nicolette in one of her missions after she finally took over and sealed her Baroness half away. Abi's distrust for the Marauders is high seeing their plans are of course the ever popular "World Domination". Although she hides her Heroic half whenever around her peers, she's extra careful around her three siblings, Alex, Magnus and Janus. Although Janus knows the truth, Janus was always a "care taker" to Abi ever since childhood and would keep her secrets. Finally she lets her brother Janus know of her resignation of the gang and moves on.

• Mercy.Killing - Another interest of Abi that loves her deeply. He had cared for her so much that Abi herself had mutual feelings, but could not go further with him since he openly admits to loving more than one due to his racial culture. She still considers him like one of her brothers.

• Run Riot - Met through her Ex-husband Kazz, Abi considers Run as one of the greatest friends ever. He's taken care of her in her time of need and turmoil in both her making her marital decision and also being a great patrol partner. Abi knows he's one of the most powerful allies that she's ever met, and is happy to have fought along side him and the Inevitable Evolution as an ally. Though with his recent retirement as well as departure from the Isles, Abi would only be able to wish him the best of luck wherever he travels.

• Veridian Vision - Also met through her Ex-husband, Abi considers both Victoria and Vai like sisters. Like her mutual combat in arms sister Nethari Rivers, VV and Abi share a great bond when it comes to seeing eye to eye with just about everything that is placed in front of them. With the sudden disappearance of V, Abi would hurt horridly seeing she has lost a great sister. Abi would pray to her gods for V daily. The prayers worked for V has returned and their bond has become extremely closer then before.

• Maki Aikawa - Maki has known Abi ever since she was introduced by Kazz to her aswell as meeting Maki's love, Gold Meteor. Although she never got along with Goldie, Maki and Abi still hold a close friendship and respect for one another.

• Toy Dispenser - Abi really loves Toy's company whenever she's in the D. He makes her smile all the time. Though she pretends to be bothered by Toy when he picks on her, Abi would always feel that she needed a great person like him around whenever she doesn't have company. She considers Toy as one of the circle of close friends that she has and wishes to maintain.

• The Lady Immolatasia - At first Abi and Millia shared a rivalry like no other. Each both boasted of their skills and who's better then whom. They have even fought one another and found out to be not only equally balanced but they are more similar then each both care to admit. After more time spent with one another, the two began to have a mutual respect for one another. Millia would become part of a sisterhood that Abi has built during the time and exposure to many that have crossed her existence.

[edit] Personality and Alignment

Abi now a days is a lot more free spirited and calmer ever since the separation of Li'Illannia had happened. She's now more of a social butterfly then a few years back thanks to the people she met both beneficial and cruel alike. Abi's mentality is more of neutrality towards everything since "Officially" named job as a bounty huntress for Vanguard. Though her neutrality goes deeper then just the job. Ever since her vengeance was met versus her murderer, she took the liberty to become a watcher and observe what goes on at both sides of the field. Her motives used to be mysterious, but now she's made it know to everyone. She loves this earth, she considers this her new home and she well do anything to protect it whether its ill-willed or not to the eyes of others. Power struggles also play into this. If it has to do with hurting her new home, she will side with whomever has the same goals as she does to protect her home.

[edit] Appearance

Abi's apperance in physique is a mixture between an Amazon, a Valkyrie, and an elf. Though her pale skin comes because of her death. Her body in a corpoeral state is of a just above average female but holds her 175 lbs. of musculature, 0% body fat again due to her death. In an incorporeal state however she is transparent and is light as a feather though she still has her corporeal features. She also tends to wear her bone armor attire seeing that suit has sort of a very disturbing but prideful sentimental value to her. She has duplicates made of her shoulder and chest skulls on other costumes she sports which those are mere impervium made thanks to Vanguard's engineers. Though her original armor is alot more powerful then her impervium counterparts seeing she's made it not only from her trophies she's acquired but she's had a very powerful sage embed magical barriers to them making it almost impossible to damage. Because of her warrior-like upbringing she has taken a fancy this era's form of pop culture and took a liking to body piercings even though she's seen this done centuries ago at her homeworld. Abi has currently 14 piercings, 5 on each ear, 4 on her body. Though she only shows her obvious ear and belly piercings she plans to add more in the future. She's even considered on getting ink done in the future. Abi also has a scent of two types of flowers. One of Lilacs, the other or Magnolias. Her voice is very melodic but strong toning. You could almost hear a faint synthetic and ghostly sound to it. (If you've ever heard of the groups "Stray" and "Unter Null", listen to the voice of Erica Dunham singing, that's the exact tone of voice Abi has.)

[edit] Favored Enemies

Back in her homeworld she battled daily nuisances from lizard folk to mountain towering dragons. Her nemesis the Mad Mage Malakhyte also takes a spot as the most hated being she's ever faced. Now living in Paragon, she has encountered many enemies even the Arachnos and the Longbow. Her true hatred lingers towards the Circle of Thorns as a whole. Not only because of the Envoy of Shadows, but because of being responsible of reawakening a side of Abigail that was dormant. Not only the resident peasants the Paragon and the Isles offer, but she also dislikes hate groups, pompous demons, and anyone that takes part in trying to destroy her new home.

[edit] The Dormant Mastermind

On a typical day of fighting the CoT, The Nocturnal Misfits almost lost Abigail due to a trap that was set by both CoT and The Council. Having to retreat due to an overwhelming and outnumbered fight, The Nocturnal Misifts took abigail to her private sarcophogus near their HQ for her to replenish her life force. Little did they know that CoT and Council spies followed. An incantation that was supposed to vanish Abigail off of existance was interupted by her teammates as the incantation only turned out alot more worse than it should have. It awakened a dark being that was sealed away by her siblings back in her homeworld. CoT again became responsible for another catastrophe, the reawakening of what the being calls herself, the Baroness Abigail. Nocturnal Misfits in disbelief tried to bring Abi to a calm, but failed due to her outburst of chaotic rage almost killing most of the group as well as killing both CoT and Council spies in the process. Although countless of attempts to destroy Baroness ended up in almost killing Abigail herself. Abi would then leave the Nocturnal Misfits for a time to try and control the Baroness, but sometimes it is not successful for she continues to bring chaos from time to time.

[edit] RP Story Arc Update

Abi's been trying to learn more about this era's pop culture but can't seem to break off her warrior ethics. She tried to be more relaxed then usual, but the more she tries the more events continued to appear before her. She also has trouble trying to not be involved with her friends in a more intimate way seeing she still loves her late husband Mikeel Silverhand. Moving on for her is something that she feels she can't do anymore. Finally, she made a decision in leaving the Earth Dimension temporarily passing her leadership once more back to the capable hands of both Nethari Rivers and her brother Jynx Talonfist. Abi pleaded with her Pantheon to stay in their halls temporarily for some "Soul Searching" of who she is and what is her true reason for still wanting to exist longer.

[edit] Major or Guest Appearances

Abi was featured in "The City Scoop", September 14, 2007, Vol 1. Issue XVIII, featured in the "Encounters" column.[1] Take a look at the City Scoop Archives. Mind you though she at the time had her original white hair before the unnecassary generic of the costume(Won't go into details which i'm still upset over it to this day). I also was in Triumph server at the time when the interview took place. But yes tis the Abi. Lady Talonfist(scrapper Abi) has also been featured in City Info Tracker's Badge Spotlight on Dec. 26,2008. This award below was made back when I was in Triumph Server. Abi was a well known person by alot of people and a few friends of mine came up with this custom award for me.

[edit] OOC/IC matters

If you don't like the attitude that Abi or ANY of my toons bring to the table and take it very personally OOC then you really don't need to associate both IC or OOC with me.

[edit] Birth of the Talonfist Family

Abi aswell as the rest of the Talonfist family were created in AD&D's Forgotten Realms (As well as art work) in a long and outstanding story arc that has been played for 2 decades (Began in 1988). Before they were known as the Falconhands, but because of copyright issues for the last name aswell as the world of Forgottten Realms (Faerun), I had to sit down and build their world from scratch aswell as their Language and Races.

[edit] Abigail Character Influences

The idea of the toon Abigail aswell as my old D&D character was influenced by a variety of famous fiction females that some of you may be familiar with. The first idea in the regards of her physical features was from Taarna, the Taarakian warrior off of the old 80's cult classic animation "Heavy Metal". Not as pale as Abi, but facial and overall body structure are there. The second was of Valeria, who was a famous rogue of the old famous fantasy film, also an awesome classic, Conan the Barbarian. Valeria's influence was mainly her valkerie like spirit and toughness, her wits as a rogue and her fighting style. Of course the last character influence is none other then Wonder Woman. Mainly because of her mannerisms and her compassion towards her peers, almost motherly.

[edit] Age Rating

All of my characters are Rated MA (Mature Audience) for Mature Language, Graphic Violence, Brief Nudity. I do NOT ERP so please do not assume nor ask me to.

[edit] OOC Player

I'm a guy plain and simple. 30 years of age, and name's Louie. I RP both genders. Key abbreviation "RP". I am not like ANY of my toons IRL and I certainly don't take things from ingame to RL. Read "OOC/IC matters" if you're the type to hold grudges. As for those that tend to callout an orientation simply because of the gender of the "Avatar", I'm straight, I have a GF that also plays the game. I love to have fun, no grief and drama included, Already went through that in another server..really don't want it again TYVM.
