Nicknames: -

Gender: Male.


Personalities:
Paige is a pretty normal young woman. She doesn't have a lot of hang-ups. Paige has very little shame and doesn't embarrass easily. She can be a little loud and a little obnoxious at times, but she generally means pretty well. You only live once, and Paige intends to live her life without a single regret. She doesn't mind people being in her space - what's Paige's is everyone's, and on the other side of the coin, what belongs to someone else also belongs to Paige. She kind of gets off on the rush of adrenaline and never really feels the need to explain to anyone why she likes any particular thing - and if she's put in a situation where she's forced to really explain herself, Paige doesn't react well. Paige can also come off as being more than a little lazy which might be funny considering the do-all division she's a part of. Paige is, overall, incredibly friendly to everyone she meets, and she likes to make decisions regarding different people on her own time.

Paige can be something of a pacifist in her own right, but if someone or something she cares about is challenged or bullied, she will stick to her ******** guns until the cows come home.

Harle can easily get overstimulated. He does not speak as a voice, but bright flashes of color depending on the emotion that he's attempting to convey - and short, stilted phrases that are easy for him to speak. Paige's name, for example. His own name, as well. Anyone who is of importance to Paige will also be assigned particular words or pictorial phrases as descriptors. It is difficult for him to communicate clearly at times, and so he prefers to give his input on current events as opposed to bringing up things in the past. Despite his difficulty communicating, he rarely finds himself frustrated or angry. He is a very placid and supportive of Paige because she tries her best to decipher him and she's really quite patient with him. It was not a difficult choice for Harle to make when it came to weaponization, as he came into existence with no memories - so really, it was just swapping one life for another.

Why did your human character choose to become a Hunter?
She didn't join for the money, that's for goddamn certain. Health care? Nah, nah.

Let's see.

Paige's dad died when she was little, and her mother had a constant chain of boyfriends after he was gone. It didn't bother Paige that much, they always left her alone, but Paige was left to her own devices more often than not. As a kid, she lived on s**t food, s**t tv, and s**t company. She understood what sex was when she was real young, and she found herself pregnant real young, too. The baby (a boy, they told her) was taken away (a choice she'd made, by herself, on her own), and they promised her they'd give him a real good home. Paige had little interest in what happened to the baby - she was only fifteen, after all.

It wasn't until a few years later that she started seeing s**t.

s**t that wasn't really scary, but s**t that was off. s**t that guilted her real, real bad. She couldn't sleep, and when she went to the doctor, nothing they gave her helped. She was still seeing things, but s**t was getting scarier and scarier, and more and more violent as the weeks passed.

You gave him away they'd whisper, you gave him away and now look what's happened.

She'd try and tell herself that it was guilt, and that guilt was natural, even after five years. The more time went on, the more she'd start thinking about her son - where was he, how was he doing, what did he look like, what was his favorite food, did he smile when he woke up, could he read yet, what did his hair smell like.

She got a visit one night from the police. They served her with a restraining order. The adopted parents of her son were accusing her of harassing them. She didn't know where they lived, had never even sought them out. They'd caught her on tape - and when she heard that, Paige demanded to see the tapes they'd claimed to have.

She was on tape - but it wasn't her. The face, that ******** face was hers, but it wasn't.

Two weeks later, Paige was arrested for breaking the restraining order. Nobody believed her when she told them that it wasn't her. They slapped her with thirty days of jail time and a fine, and told her that it would be longer if it happened again.

When she returned home, there were people in white coats waiting for her. The problem had been 'eradicated' they'd told her, and she joined up with Deus Ex Machina so that she could make a better world for her son - and all the other kids living ******** up lives like she had.


Weapon Ability
Battle Cry - Opalescent Shatter - Harle's Fear boosts Paige's power.

Physical Description:
Eye Colour: Brown, dark brown.
Hair Colour/Style: Something like this. Or. This. She'll wear it either way, so whatever the artist is comfortable drawing will work for me. It should be blond, a little lighter than in the pictures. More platinum blonde than actual blonde, but her brows a little darker.
Skin Colour: She a white girl.
Clothing Style/Colours: Jeans, always jeans. She shows a lot of skin. Ratty pants with holes in them. She wears boots. Shirts that rarely have sleeves, and almost always have terrible phrases on them. Big clunky belts. I don't know. I made this: Inspiration board. Her scarf color is this.
Extra: She has tattoos. Both arms, fully sleeved from her upper chest to her wrists, exact details are left up to artist interpretation and if you want to save yourself a lot of work she could be wearing longer shirt sleeves (3/4 length) so that all that would need to be arted would be the lower half or so of her forearms. Whatever her tattoos look like, I will come up with a story to match them/her reasons for getting them, so go nuts and have fun? She also has her bottom lip pierced in the center, and she wears a plain silver hoop. Like so. She is also tall (5'11") and has wide hips (hips dont lie, this is perfect). Her ears are also gauged, not super huge, something like this size, but see her inspiration board for the kind of plugs she'd actually wear. She's got full lips and mad freckles.
