Helen Damnation
"Helen Damnation is basically who I came up with the day I decided to give RP a try, after formerly being a total hater. I had one day witnessed an event being played out in Westside, and found myself immersed in the story. Mainly because I hadn't encountered anything else besides users acting like mewling baby animals or perverts looking for slaves. One walk through Club Caprice one and a half years ago, and I felt ashamed to have done so. But this was different, I was intrigued, and I had just joined an SG that Rp'd. Sure enough, after awhile Helen started forming in the back of my mind, and here is the physical end result, if nothing else.
Helen isn't from this world and has contact with only a select few humans, so she is somewhat socially awkward. She devours knowledge of the world but finds she is uncomfortable in it, mainly because her appearance is vastly different and she has only had 4 years since her birth to become acquainted to it. She has a primal hunting instinct and has only stayed that instinct to hunt humans due to the people she has encountered that have taken her in and showed her kindness and offered her refuge from the world. Her official entry into the world above and interaction with that world interests me. Will she acquaint herself with it? Can she? I can't wait to see how she develops!
Of course, this page is and always will be under construction, as I'll be adding on as I go along. As the story progresses and as my knowledge of all this tag and href and padding and borders, and bodies and headers an all that hawt mess becomes less daunting!
Oh yes, I'm keeping a list of people who'd I'd like to eventually thank for helping me with in this endeavor." --L
Real Name: Registered with PRIMUS as Helen Damnation
Alias: Listed on public record as Sarah Williams
Age: Aged 4 by human standards with a standard Terran yearly cycle of 365 days. Theoretically based on intellect in her early to mid twenties.
Gender: Female
Species: Intel salvaged from the downed Qularr Mothership (see Files of the Qularr Invasion September 1, 2009) suggest Ms. Damnation to be of a race known only as the Hyttaren. Due to the limited information we managed to decode, they were used for genetic purposes. Bred aboard similar ships, their DNA seems to have been of particular interest, as the few logs pertaining to their study suggest. However,no further details were attainable.
Ethnicity: Unknown; It should be noted that during Ms. Damnation's current public appearances she has been outfitted with an advanced image inducer, giving her the appearance of a human female with tanned olive skin, green eyes, and black hair. All anatomy which differs from the human genetic makeup, however, remains as it would be otherwise.
Place of Birth: Qularr Mothership, Millenium City Harbor
Relatives: There is currently no information available, suffice to say that upon Ms. Damnation's apparent escape from the burning vessel, she had been fostered by a group of nomadic homeless citizens calling themselves The Refuge. In particular Jaymar Williams, who is listed publicly as Ms. Damnation's foster son.
Occupation: Primus Trainee
~From Primus Training Log #492375~
Helen Damnation has had a slow start in training, due in part to her recent exposure to our facilities and hesitance to be part of the PRIMUS experience. She was prone to unruly behavior, from scaring her first trainer into wetting himself to simply not showing up. However, after certain reiteration of her agreement with PRIMUS, Ms. Damnation has proven very cooperative and indeed has been somewhat of a surprise.
Ms. Damnation enjoys an alien physiology which has certain traits in common with the human Animalia suborder Serpentes. It was PRIMUS' initial suspicion that Ms. Damnation was a Viper experiment, due to these snake like traits. But first contact and our telepathic division confirmed that she had never met or even heard from Viper, much less knows where she herself comes from. We found ourselves in the unique position of knowing more that she did on the matter.
Though there are many similarities between Serpentes and Ms. Damnation, who we shall name Helen from this point forth, there are definite alien traits unique to her species, although they do resemble changes taking place in other subspecies of earth.
Helen has herself described the ability to "molt", a process which we can only theorize jumpstarts phases in her growth. The last of which has given her a human-like appearance, although one cannot say that she is able to go unrecognized among the general populace. We've taken samples from what Helen has referred to as her "rebirth chamber" in the catacombs near the riverfront of Millenium City's Harbor district, in order to get a clearer picture, and we correlated this information with the data from the Qularr ship. We managed to confirm that there is a molting process the Hyttaren generally go through, though how extensive and how many times this happens in an Hyttaren lifespan remains unknown at this point. We are awaiting Helen's next birthday, or as she has dubbed it: Rebirthday, in which the molting usually occurs to further study this process. Helen has given us permission to study the phenomenon. We must take into account that this molting process may very well present a form of adaptive evolution unlike we have seen in any of the known species Earth has encountered so far.
Helen's mainstay weapons are her claws, which extend from her fingertips when she is in battle. We believe her control of this is conscious. We have yet to study her physical attributes in detail, though we are searching, by request from the top, for a less intrusive way. So the question remains : Are they bone or a chitin like substance or metal of some sort? Our data shows they are durable and can cut through most anything we've managed to hit her with. She must sharpen them continually, and manages that to such a degree of precision. Though how she does this she refuses to tell us.
In one of her holographic training sessions, Helen managed to massacre an entire room of enemies with minimal damage to her person, though we were able to determine that ice presents a weakness, but we have yet to test how extensive that weakness is. Our scientists believe that though these claws present a danger to most enemies, there are other factors to consider, which we will summarize for the sake of the summary of this report log.
Strength, Agility, Durability~ Combat training has revealed that Helen's strength reaches superhuman levels, possibly surpassing that with a more rigorous training program. Her agility is helped by the prehensile tail which is measured to be 3 1/2 feet long. She displays a naturalness in her usage of this tail in or out of battle, and in the few cases she has used this tail while her image inducer is active, this has given the false perception that she has a mild telekinetic ability, as the inducer influence gives the impression of human characteristics.We believe her bone structure in the spinal area is such that it is more flexible than ordinary humans. Notes pertaining to Helen's acrobatic training show , though there were rough edges in her personality getting in the way at the beginning, before her sudden "change of heart", that she is also on par with superhuman levels at this stage.
We implemented our standard training, but we soon realized that Helen was in such excellent physical shape that we could step it up a notch. Though we know that her species was mainly used in experiments, we suspect the Hyttaren race may have been combative by nature at some point, perhaps before first contact with the Qularr. She displays a ferocious appetite for combat. However, we feel fine control of her rage fits during battle could be bundled in such a way to physically affect the space around her. Our scientists believe that by training her to unleash her rage in such a way, it might allow her to use this consciously as an area of effect power. We've begun to set up a series of tests to determine how well she will be able to tap into this aspect of her abilities. Of course, we've taken measures to mask these tests as to appear as part of her training routine.
Innate Hunting Drive~ Silver Avenger Mayte Sanchez was able to confirm that a 4 year old case involving a dumping site of human remains in various stages of decay, may have a connection with an odd bit of information we'd happened upon while interviewing Helen's now foster son, Jaymar Williams. According to the story the 16 year old told our agents, the boy had met Helen weeks after her escape from the ship. From his description, she was a small creature in this stage of her development, roughly the size of baby/toddler, quadrupedal, and had been apparently accosting various members of what both call The Refuge( see file marked The Refuge for further in depth information). Jaymar insisted however, that of those victims he knew, they either wished their death or were those the group deemed "to be wary of".
Though the boy remains adamant that she had saved him the day he discovered her existence, she managed to kill three grown men in a matter of minutes, taking hours to feed on their flesh. Initially,our agents were ready to charge her, had we not stepped into the process. Further information from the boy detailed how he had brought victims to her during this early stage, usually unsavory types that in some way threatened the sanctity of The Refuge, until he was able to communicate in such a way that he was able to understand her and be sure she understood him. It was then that he began to appeal to her intelligence and weened her off of human flesh, instilling in her that it was wrong, that she only do this if there is no other possible way to save a life. In sum, he instilled in her the human notion of the Sanctity of Life. This may or may not be detrimental to our cause, as this hunting instinct could prove useful if allowed to flourish within a set boundary. Currently, however, we aren't entirely sure where we stand with this, suffice to say that depending on Helen's adapting to our world and being in PRIMUS, we may have the option of making an assassin out of her.
