[spoili]
Name: Numazuri Tamba
Nickname: Zuri
Age: 28
Sex: Female
Date of Birth: July 7th
Class: Upper
appearance
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 170 lbs
Hair: Dark brown
Glow: Goldenrod
Written Appearance: Numazuri is not blessed with the petite figures so many women desperately crave. Instead, she is made precisely like her father: stout, compact, with a sturdy build that lends itself to the natural power lying in her muscles. Her wide hips are about the only thing distinctly female about her. But unlike her father, she is not muscular in the least. Her femininity lies in the soft padding of flesh that covers over the sharp angles of her body. She is not a portly woman by any means, but she has a certain girth to her body that is common amongst people in her family. Her size, added to her above average height, commands attention before her words do. Even her walk exudes confidence.
When it comes to outward appearance, Zuri is quite simple in her tastes. She decided only the year before to shave her hair short, purely for convenience. The little makeup she wears consists solely of dark lipstick and mascara. The only thing she is particularly picky about is her clothing. The upper class is filled with bored rich persons desperate to make their mark on the world; Numazuri is not immune to that sensation. Her every outfit is picked to be as unique as possible, save for the days when she's working. But despite this, all her outfits tend to stay within the zone of being as comfortable as possible. She has yet to stray into the world of high heels and clothes that are pretty to look at but hell to wear.
Personal
Personality:
As a young, esteemed member of the glitterati, Zuri does not disappoint when it comes to her personal mindset. She tends to approach her environments with a very lackadaisical, devil-may-care attitude. Even in the face of extreme human injustice, she remains largely detached, never allowing her feelings to become too largely vested in the entire affair. She is a distinctly aloof individual. Her personal life is filled with unpursued relationships and abandoned projects. It's not so much that she doesn't care about these things; simply, that she loses interest very quickly. Her life is also impacted by her mercurial temperament. Prone to rapid mood swings, her actions change abruptly on a whim, which is often disorientating for those who know her. Fortunately for her, it is not serious enough to affect her investigations.
While on the job, the best qualities of Zuri come to light. The young private detective has a quick eye and an even quicker mind; many a case has been solved simply by the small details she's been able to pick out, things those with a less observant eye would easily miss. She prides herself at being good at her work and what she does,
without having to rely on her other skills.
Occupation:
While Zuri has no "official" career established yet, she serves most often in the role of a private eye or investigator. This job was spawned purely from sheer boredom and a curious interest in the murky justice system of the lower caste. It is a hobby more than it is her employment. Finding little to no need for the financial reimbursements, Zuri mainly takes on cases pro-bono. She is most often sought out to get information that police are either too lazy or too unskilled to get. And that is her calling card:
information extraction. Even without her powers, she is known to be quite a formidable force in getting the knowledge that she seeks. Her assignments range anywhere from finding a lost child to spying on a cheating spouse for their estranged mate. The tasks she takes on are solely dependent on what she is in the mood for. Occasionally she works alongside law enforcement to help interrogate suspects, but she doesn't like to do it often.
History
Life was all too kind on Numazuri Tamba. Unlike the poor wretches strewn about in the lower caste, Zuri was born rich, a living and breathing machine made of decas. Her parents considered themselves great
Renaissance-era artists of that time; her mother was a world-renowned architect, and her father was yet another glorified designer throwing his creations into the mix. To have a baby was simply another successful project for the Tamba name, and they
reveled in it. Zuri was two years old when she began modeling. Appearing in limited commercials and holocam advents, she was a sensationalist star. It was widely thought that she would grow up to be a fashion model. But like most upper-class citizens, Zuri's parents were fickle creatures. When Zuri began expressing her boredom with such things at the age of 10, they quickly pulled her out of those programs and placed her in an academy with other children.
From there, her life would slowly transform into that of unpredictability. Every time someone would check in on her, it would seem that she was doing something different. Dating something new, living somewhere else, etc etc. Her time in college was a mess of flip-flopping through courses and majors. She had no idea what she wanted to with her life. But, unlike her more unfortunate associates, she had all the time and money to figure it out. The woman did virtually everything to structure her days. She threw wild parties and charity balls for aspiring politicians. She took on odd jobs,
many jobs. Hell, she even got engaged at some point, but ultimately called that off as well. Nothing seemed to satisfy her. Nothing. Zuri was in the throes of wanderlust when a friend offhandedly suggested she volunteer as a tutor for lower class people. Some of the upper class people liked to do it as a sort of charity; their way of giving back, without having to spend a dime. Zuri ended up only doing it for a few months. However, the rampant crime and injustice she saw managed to peak her interest. Then, in the waning hours of yet another late night event, she had an idea.
It wasn't hard to become licensed as a Private Investigator. Bribing lawmakers had never been a difficult task--whether through money or her particularly remarkable eyes. Getting hired for jobs was the difficult part. In the beginning, she sifted through the many unresolved cases for her area and simply pursued those. Most were dead ends; some panned out, allowing her to build a small amount of repertoire amongst lower class citizens. But her biggest break did not come until she solved a case for one of the magmonious elite of their city. Her name was Alyse van Yolf, and her case was comically simple--to find evidence that her wife was cheating on her. Only it wasn't so simple. To step into the world of the elites was like dancing dangerously close to a fire's edge. Elites have even less concern for human life than the upper class do. Zuri found herself both carefully navigating Alyse's own short temper as while as keeping hidden from her estranged spouse, who no doubt would have done something terrible at finding out what she was up to. It was by sheer luck that she found the evidence as quickly as she did; and it was by God's grace only that the evidence proved Alyse's wife not guilty.
Alyse promised to repay her tenfold, but did not specify how. A clear answer never came. But a year after Zuri had already moved onto other things, an invitation came to her from Lyris Matrikt himself. She can only wonder if this is Alyse's own doing, or a pure stroke of luck.
Endowments
Hypnosis
Zuri has the unique power of mental hypnosis. Activated by eye contact, it allows her to put her targets into a pliable, trance-like state, rendering them docile for the short amount of time she holds them. She mainly uses it during interrogations and to neutralize violent individuals. Subjects of her hypnosis often have no memory of the experience after she's done.
Pros:
- Can be used to extract information from various targets. Targets placed in the trance are unable to life.
- Persons under the hypnotic spell are unable to move, rendering them ineffective and able to be apprehended, in the case of criminals.
- The hypnotic state can also used as a soothing instrument to calm down a distressed party.
- Zuri can command the individuals to sleep; how long they are unconscious varies on the person. Doing this specific command requires more energy from Zuri than normal.
Cons:
- Zuri can only hold captive a person for up to ten minutes. Anything longer than that rapidly depletes her energy to the point of passing out.
- The more turbulent and insane a person's mind is, the more difficult it is for Zuri to control her hold over them. A person with a particularly strong psyche can oust her from their mind altogether, resulting in damage to her own self.
- The hypnotic trance is maintained so long as the eye contact between Zuri and the subject is not broken.
Augmentations:
GABA implant - a calming chemical enzyme released once a day into her blood stream to help regulate her wildly shifting temperaments.[/spoili]
I know, I know. It should be on the same post as my other one, but I...everytime I go to edit my code something demonic happens (like the Personal tab that keeps repeating >_>). I'm not touching that thing anymore
