Name: Faith Hannigan

Real Name: Laura Seidle

Gender: Female

Race: Dark Matter Vampire

Age: 31, appears to be 26

Height: 5'8"

Weight: 135 lbs

Appearance: Faith has a tall, slender athletic build, something you'd expect for a dancer. Her hair is black (or red, on occasion) and her eyes are usually shielded by sunglasses, though if you get the chance to see them, they are red. She has fair skin as well. Despite being a touch creepy, she is actually rather beautiful. Normally she wears some sort of coat with a hood while she is out, but underneath wears a military uniform in black, gray, and red, with a skirt or pants.

Personality: She is generally cold/stoic, having great amount of control over her emotions, or possibly lacking them a bit. She has a hidden temper that comes out when greatly provoked. She is very stubborn and independent, and while she normally doesn't get hung up on formalities, she does demand respect from her men. She also has a possessive streak even though she generally views relationships not worth the time and effort.

Personality Flaws: Faith is stubborn and aloof and generally does not seek any sort of companionship. She also can be very sarcastic and even insulting and enjoys skewing the truth a bit just to mess with people.

Hobbies and Interests: Hunting down her brother, dancing, teaching dance, reading, listening to classical music, combat, using explosives, spying on people, making life as difficult as possible for those she doesn't like, and generally scaring the crap out of her men.

Dreams and Aspirations: To keep her sister alive and to kill her brother

Skills:

• Dance: 10 (exp: 5500)
• Katana: 10 (exp: 5500)
• Sniper Rifle: 5 (exp: 1500)
• Handguns: 1 (exp: 100)
• Strategy: 5 (exp: 1500)
• Teaching: 1 (exp: 100)

• Heightened sense of Hearing and Smell: 10 (exp: 5500)
• Sight in pure darkness: 10 (exp: 5500)
• Strength: 10 (exp: 5500)
• Speed: 10 (exp: 5500)
• Float: 10 (exp: 5500) - Ability to slow her speed while falling to minimize damage when falling from great heights.
• Self-Healing: 10 (exp: 5500)

• Shadow: 10 (exp: 5500) - She has control over the shadows around her and is able to create more at whim. She can make these tangible to any extent, even becoming fully solid like crystal. (Weakness: Light)
• Shadow flames: 10 (exp: 5500) - Flames in dark hues. Instead of being hot, they burn with cold, so feeling this attack would be similar to getting frostbitten. (Weakness: Light)
• Shadow stepping/teleportation: 10 (exp: 5500) - Slipping through shadows into a shadow realm, then back out through another shadow in another location. This of course also gives her access to a shadow realm.
• Telepathy: 1 (exp: 100) - She has the ability to communicate back and forth with Frank Horrigan through this, regardless of distance, because of their bond. (Weakness: With others, it works only if they are within a few feet of her and are willing. She is unable to use mind control or force her way in to read others thoughts.)
• Telekinesis: 1 (exp: 100) - Normally she just uses shadows to do this, so it's not a very well developed skill for her. (Weakness: Distraction)

Weakness: Light. Normal levels of light just annoy her. Sunlight won't kill her immediately, it's just as though she has very fair and sensitive skin so she's much more likely to burn than others and shouldn't spend prolonged periods exposed to sunlight. More condensed light or light magic will harm her, though.

Laura's family was torn apart when her brother, Ben, joined a cult that spoke to dead people. He was convinced that he was supposed to purge the world, and to prove his loyalty he was going to start by killing his own family. Her family split up and began wandering around, figuring they'd be safer as individuals than together. She has changed her name several times to avoid detection, sometimes going by male names like Seth or George. She was living in a small village that she had been in for almost a year, working as a dancer/entertainer at the town's small playhouse when she became friends with a guy named Ziek, who helped her get her job back after her position was cut.

Fearing that she'd be found by her brother because of staying in the town for too long, she left it and Ziek left with her. They lived for a few months together in an apartment in a large, technologically advanced city. Ziek trained her how to fight, specifically on how to use a katana, so that she doesn't have to run anymore. Together they went and found her mother and sister and brought them back to the city with them, her father's whereabouts were still unknown at the time.

A couple months later, she was murdered while out doing some shopping in the city, and her body was found by Frank Horrigan, the leader of the Enclave. He brought her back to life as a dark matter vampire, giving her the position of second in command and a place to stay on board the Icarus. At first she resented this, feeling too much under Frank's control, but soon took it as a great opportunity to be able to watch over her family without putting them in further danger. She tends to watch over her younger sister, Josie, from the shadows, and move her from danger whenever it gets too close. The fact that Laura is still alive, however, still remained a secret, as she changed her name yet again, this time to mimic Frank's.

For awhile, her fiery personality was at war with the calm, cold darkness that was slowly taking her over. This led to a lot of violence on her part, and some of the men still fear her for it even though she has much calmed down since then, the darkness finally winning over. She still insists, however, that being dark does not necessarily make her evil and she hates when others make that assumption.

She has been using what resources are available to her at the Enclave for a personal project on the side, tracking down her brother and her missing father. She eventually found the body of her father, and later on that of her mother as well, both buried in a ritualistic manner. Blaming her brother for this, of course, she has vowed to keep searching for him and make him pay.
