Revision as of 14:03, 11 June 2018

She is strong willed and incredibly arrogant, to the point of narcissistic tendencies. To her, she is always right and the sooner everyone else gets that, the happier everyone else will be. She's honest, to the point of brutality at times. Perhaps her main redeeming quality is her loyalty and the lengths she will go for allies, but especially friends and those few who have made it to family. She loves them and her order. She will serve both to her dying breath, not matter the collateral damage it may cause.

Background

Lisa was orphaned at a very young age, both her parents dyeing from a plague that swept through the keep in a particularly bad winter. In fact, in Glinan's Hold at least half of the adults died that winter. There was not only a food shortage but also a plague that swept through hold during the coldest of the winter months. The knights were the first to give their food to the women and children, often striking out of the keep to hunt in an attempt to bring back enough food for everyone along with other things like fire wood. Many died as the winter grew worse and worse at the high elevations of the hold.

Left without parents, Lisa grew up being a ward of the keep like so many other children. A few years after that horrible winter, the Knight of the Souls Templar stopped into the hold to rest there. Seeing so many orphaned children, the Knights struck an agreement to take in as apprentices the orphans. Though it was not customary, one of the Knights in particular grew fond of the young Lisa who seemed to have an affinity for his horse. Knowing that his horse was prone to disliking others and he often had to care for the animal himself rather than let grooms do so, he took her in as his stable girl. The young girl had a lust for knowledge and would soak up whatever the Knight would say to her - he was a Knight through and through without any knowledge of how to raise a young girl. Deciding that he instead would raise her the only way he knew how - to be an aspiring knight of the order.

When she was just beginning to really grow up, he taught her the sword and shield, she took to both quickly learning them faster than any of other apprentice he had ever seen. She had a fever for the high ground and for being on the right side of things, though this worried her Knight he could do little to discourage her attitude. It did not help that her skill with the sword was only paralleled by her skill with magic, quickly earning her a reputation as a person one should not cross. In her early career as an aspiring Knight she was known to have a deep fire of a temper that burned slow and long when lit. She was only granted her knighthood once she was able to control her temper and find different ways to work through her rage than just lashing out and attacking those who angered her.

In the following years she quickly rose through the ranks, mostly through trials of combat where she would challenge someone of a higher position and win their spot through defeating them. Most of these were not battles to the death, only a singular one was, and that was to take over as the head of the order as Grand Mistress, taking over for the former Grand Master of the order. During her years as the head of the order, she has surrounded herself by people who temper her strong arrogance to be diplomatic where she cannot. As a force to lead she is unparalleled, her one weakness is her need to be right.

 == Background ==
-Lisa wanted to join the military at a young age, but in the Vietnam era, women were only allowed into a certain number of positions.  While she wanted a combat role, she was given desk duty in the special projects division.  She was a glorified secretary, dissatisfied with this lot in life she saw an early opportunity to impress a black ops agent who was working with their team.  She had a feeling that he could see the value of having a woman as a field operative who also knew how to handle herself in battle.  She worked hard and cultivated relationships within the Navy building a network of informants until she finally had the chance.  There was an opportunity to use her network to get exactly the information the CIA wanted and it worked.  Still working, officially, for the Navy she departed from special projects as a secretary and was put elsewhere.  Each time she needed higher access or more credentials, the CIA was assist and allow her promotions with the Navy to make the books look nice and tidy.  Until one day, they inevitably betrayed her.  It only only through her carefully selected and handled network of people across the United States and abroad that allowed her to recover.  Rather than go after the CIA, she realized the world had changed - or rather - was changing.  She'd already had special weapons training and training in covert operations as well as command experience.
+Lisa was orphaned at a very young age, both her parents dyeing from a plague that swept through the keep in a particularly bad winter.  In fact, in Glinan's Hold at least half of the adults died that winter.  There was not only a food shortage but also a plague that swept through hold during the coldest of the winter months.  The knights were the first to give their food to the women and children, often striking out of the keep to hunt in an attempt to bring back enough food for everyone along with other things like fire wood.  Many died as the winter grew worse and worse at the high elevations of the hold.
-She found a request for a special project in Los Angeles, not knowing exactly what the project was for the scientists figured that a woman might be better suited for them.  The Navy promised her that should she do well on this project (i.e. survive) she would have no more ceilings, glass or otherwise.  Grasping at this, she agreed.  The experiments were nothing to laugh about, many times others would go into the chamber deep under L.A. and come out insane or not come out at all.  She knew there was one survivor, she'd only spoke to the man once but she always remembered his name, [[Lance Thomas]], they rushed him away as soon as it was over.  That wasn't why she remembered him, she remembered him because he said to all of the other test subjects, "I'll survive, and then we'll see who takes orders from whom!"  It was a brazen and ultimately moronic thing to say, somehow the glint in his eye caught her attention and she never forgot the confidence.  Rather than masking fear as it was with most of the others; he meant it.
+Left without parents, Lisa grew up being a ward of the keep like so many other children.  A few years after that horrible winter, the Knight of the [[Souls Templar]] stopped into the hold to rest there.  Seeing so many orphaned children, the Knights struck an agreement to take in as apprentices the orphans.  Though it was not customary, one of the Knights in particular grew fond of the young Lisa who seemed to have an affinity for his horse.  Knowing that his horse was prone to disliking others and he often had to care for the animal himself rather than let grooms do so, he took her in as his stable girl.  The young girl had a lust for knowledge and would soak up whatever the Knight would say to her - he was a Knight through and through without any knowledge of how to raise a young girl.  Deciding that he instead would raise her the only way he knew how - to be an aspiring knight of the order.
-She survived the experiment, only then did she understand the true nature of what was going on.  Her soul and body had been fused with a [[demon]] of some sort, a succubus to be more precise.  Once it was over she could feel the foul beast clawing its way to the surface, enticing her, begging her, berating her, anything it could do to get its way.  She knew she had to control it, clamp it down, lock it away or it would control her and that was something she would not have.  The demon gave her unique powers and abilities, however, mostly to do with the mind.  She went through extensive training after being moved to the south-eastern United States, where they gave her a ring.  It was clear at first, but once she put it on the large gemstone in it turned into a bright orange-red fire opal.  It wasn't long into her training that she realized, she wasn't aging.  Not only that but she looked considerably younger than she should, small wrinkles around the eyes and mouth that had been developing, were no longer there.  She perpetually appears to be in her mid 20's.
+When she was just beginning to really grow up, he taught her the sword and shield, she took to both quickly learning them faster than any of other apprentice he had ever seen.  She had a fever for the high ground and for being on the right side of things, though this worried her Knight he could do little to discourage her attitude.  It did not help that her skill with the sword was only paralleled by her skill with magic, quickly earning her a reputation as a person one should not cross.  In her early career as an aspiring Knight she was known to have a deep fire of a temper that burned slow and long when lit.  She was only granted her knighthood once she was able to control her temper and find different ways to work through her rage than just lashing out and attacking those who angered her.
-As part of the new division she was assigned for the hunting and potential turning of supernatural targets and assets.  Her job was to seek out and find potential assets with supernatural or magical abilities, turn them to work for her or turn them to ashes.  Life experience has given her a particular hatred of Vampires but most other creatures of the night she understands well enough to live with, so long as they do as she asks them.  The betrayal of the CIA still burns deeply, however, and she makes a point to distrust and monitor what they do when they are near.
+In the following years she quickly rose through the ranks, mostly through trials of combat where she would challenge someone of a higher position and win their spot through defeating them.  Most of these were not battles to the death, only a singular one was, and that was to take over as the head of the order as Grand Mistress, taking over for the former Grand Master of the order.  During her years as the head of the order, she has surrounded herself by people who temper her strong arrogance to be diplomatic where she cannot.  As a force to lead she is unparalleled, her one weakness is her need to be right.
-=== Persona Life ===
-Lisa was has been married three times.  The first was to a fellow military officer in the earlier days of her career, Anson Urbina, who was killed a few years later, before she became involved with the CIA.  Later, after her CIA involvement began she became very close with a CIA agent named Gabriel Wells, but Gabriel was killed only a few years after in a slaughter when trying to recruit several Vampires to the cause.  This event possibly noted her disillusionment with the program and perhaps contributed to the later betrayal of the CIA.  Finally after freeing herself from the CIA and well into running the facility known as Echo Station she met a ranch owner from Alabama named Kyle McNeal, they stayed married for several years but he eventually surcomed to the intense pressure of Vitae, as he was the embodiment of the Phoenix, the force killed him so that the spirit could pass on to another.

 == Special Abilities ==
-Lisa has exceptionally strong [[Psionic Abilities|psionic abilities]] as well as a vastly increased strength and stamina.  Her body is in peek condition and her increased essence translates into holding an incredible amount of physical power in terms of what her body can do and how much punishment it can take.  The demonic energy she possesses causes her mind to more easily focus in a pragmatic way and leave emotions aside, her thoughts are focused and sharp in and order of magnitude above others.  This all allows her to draw on and use an absolutely (nearly) unprecedented amount of [[Psionic Energy|psionic energy]].  Though there is a cost, the most energy she uses of her own mind, the less she is able to keep the insanity of the demon at bay, when the walls drop the demon takes over.
+Lisa can innately make use of [[Magical Energy|magical energy]], she has studied the ways of magic and manipulating the elements for most of her life along with her training in the sword.  She is skilled in the use of magic during combat and as an enhancement to her skills with weapons, particularly the sword.
