One x One Desperate Times (Closed)

[Sleepless_Dreamer]

NAME: Penelope Montes


ALIAS (OPTIONAL): Penny; Chaos


AGE: 27


GENDER: Female


SEXUALITY: Practices "sexual fluidity"


APPEARANCE:

BIOGRAPHY: Penny is a woman born of darkness. Her single mother-- a Latino woman who was knocked up by a gringo-- was the victim of harassment and ridicule in their small city sublet. At the age of 16, upon witnessing her mother's rape, Penny had her first kill. She had beat the man with a still-hot cast iron skillet until dead (and then some). She was immediately institutionalized, but after some "good behavior" and relocation, she was eventually released. However, another brush with trouble had her facing the threat of imprisonment again. Not in an institution this time, but in a maximum security prison where people didn't play so nice. When it seemed like the end of the road for young Penelope, an organization approached her. Blackmailed, Penny was forced to offer her "services" to the organization. In exchange she received the closest rendition of freedom she could get. She has since upgraded from household items to stylish and sleek killing devices (most of which she makes herself).


PERSONALITY: Penny is cunning and flirtatious. She adopted a pin-up model persona that enabled her to get close and cozy with people. The only thing more dangerous than her sexuality is her killer intent. She usually exercises a smooth degree of calm, but once in a while her temper is triggered. This usually results in a bloody mess that the organization is none too happy to clean up, but does nonetheless. She is often heard talking to her (dead) mother in Spanish.


OTHER: Penny "by day" is a front desk worker at a law firm in Bushford. The firm is, of course, one of the organization's many fronts that allows them to obtain a number of new cases. Penny's position is a result of her alluring personality, as well as her need to keep an ear to the ground for new leads.

NAME: Marvin Stuart


ALIAS: Marv


AGE: 32


GENDER: Male


SEXUALITY: Heterosexual


APPEARANCE:

BIOGRAPHY: Born in Detroit, to a very ambtious couple, both of whom worked at a box manufacturing company with a strong sense of vigour, but which was highly underrated, but nevertheless, made enough sales to meet a days end, and I'm taking the whole company into context here. His childhood was not one filled to the brim with materialistic pleasures, as his father was a rather strict person, if not a bit too hot-headed, however, Marv was quite satisfied with his life, lacking any wanton for said materials. His luck took a deep and an abrupt nosedive when he was 20, during which, his father died a very untimely death at the hands of a crazed maniac, who was engaging in a killing spree. His mother was severely saddened by this event, however, she was still idealistic of her son's future, not knowing that grim situations were coming towards her son. He successfully graduated, but he couldn't really find a job, staying unemployed. His mother also went severely sick during that time, worrying Marv to a high extent.


When he turned 30, barely employed as a journalist for the Bushford Times, he received anonymous phone calls, each subtly signifying and forcing him to kill a group of Colombian gangsters situated at a disco club far off the road. Marv took this as a crank call, and dismissed the intimidation, however, the scale of the threats increased, and heavily worried Marv, being a paranoid man in general. Soon afterwards, he found that his car was vandalized and burnt, clearing things up that the threats really were true. The organization soon started targeting his mother, who was also his weakness, as the point of target. Forcing him to a thing he had never before done: Killing.


He cleared the disco club thoroughly, and in a very messy manner, due to his nervous problems. Little did he know that he actually an 'expendable member' of said organization. No one cleaned the mess up, he didn't receive any payment, nor did he get equipment. As simple as that. He didn't even get to see their headquarters or meet any of their people, only getting phone calls which detailed his job.


PERSONALITY: A paranoid man, and a nervous one too, who's biggest strength is to act under pressure, even if he's nervous, he tends to get really fast, if not messy, whilst he's under extreme pressure. He has cynical attitude, and tends to observe situations a lot before engaging it. His sarcastic and lightly whimsical attitude is often shown to suppress his more lingering depression, and what he claims, is his inner animal. Nevertheless, he feels regret and guilt for every single murder he commits, often commenting, that he's a rat; a being which deceives other people and hides away like a coward. He's also quite hot-headed, changing into a rather primal man when angered, however, he tries his best to stay calm and cool.


But all these melt before her mother, who he's extremely protective and caring of, prompting him to take the jobs in the first place. But in a more general sense, he's a bit on the witty side, and is quite intelligent too, using improvising tactics to stay clear of trouble.


OTHER: He's currently unemployed, but he does have a bike, which he mostly uses for transportation. He doesn't have any professional weapons, but he does carry a meat cleaver to each objective, pointing out that this certain weapon tends to signify that he's a butcher. Needless to say, he mostly improvises and picks up other weapons from either the ground or from his enemies. He also wears a biker helmet to keep his identity a secret.
