Game Notes

Deathwish (Ava Allison) is a Maverick who fights with wild abandon in various areas of Brisby. She has a friendly relationship with the owners of the Cover Charge Bar and Grill in Waingroh. She is one of the three heroes The Geist invited to join his team who did not accept the invitation. She has been described as a dark skinned woman in a black leather outfit who uses two tonfa as her weapons of choice.

One colorpunk at The Skull and Rose had this to say about her: “That bitch was crazy! She came straight at us like she just fuckin’ dared us to do something! So we did. I don’t know how but all our shots missed as she broke into a run. She reached Big Nasty first. She broke his wrist with her fucking sticks and dropped him out cold since they were fucking electrified too. Then she turned and came straight for Baller. Same story. I think he was able to hit her when she got in close but she just took it like it was nothing she cared about. She beaned him on the side of the head with both her sticks and he was on the ground too. I didn’t stick around any more – I fuckin’ ran. I tell you, her name is accurate. The way she comes after you, the way she fights… it’s like she has no thought of self-preservation. She’s got a real death wish all right. But I’ll be damned if I’m going to try and be the one to give it to her again. She fucked up my boys real good.”

Tuesday, January 23^rd, 2024: The Geist met her at the bar, with Black Phantom sitting nearby to observe. The owners of Cover Charge remained on guard and wary of the both of them. The conversation was designed to help them determine if Deathwish was the one who called the CSPD the night of their initial meeting. Through the execution of their plan they learned some of her secrets and she is no longer a strong suspect.

INSANITY	DESCRIPTION	NOTES
Crazywoman	The crazy-woman type hero is a wild, flamboyant, zany, dynamic, caustic and hyper daredevil who acts cocky and carefree. These characters are extremely hyper and can’t seem to sit still. In combat, the crazy-woman hero usually appears to be fearless. They tend to be reactionary, believe themselves to be indestructible, take needless risks, and have a complete disregard for personal safety – especially when an innocent life is at stake.	These heroes tend to be physically and action oriented, thus they are usually too impatient to master skills that require sitting still and/or intense contemplation or study. -10% on all skills other than physical, piloting and weapon proficiencies. Add +10% to prowl, climbing, swimming, gymnastics and dancing skills. Add +4 to roll with punch, fall and explosion. Also +1 to dodge and autododge.
Obsession: Crime-busting	The character loves to be a hero and is obsessed with stomping out crime and evil everywhere.	An obsession may drive a character to incredible, even outrageous lengths to satisfy her irrational feelings.
Phobia: Funerals, graveyards, and anything that reminds her of her unavoidable, impending death.	Characters who suffer from a phobia will become terrified when the object of fear is encountered. 40% chance to contain herself long enough to safely avoid it when surrounded by friends/ allies; otherwise overcome by phobic panic and reaches the breaking point.	Upon reaching the breaking point, the character’s mind will respond by either passing out/ falling unconscious, fleeing/ running away at top speed, or becoming paralyzed with fear.
Phobia: Time travel.	Characters who suffer from a phobia will become terrified when the object of fear is encountered. 40% chance to contain herself long enough to safely avoid it when surrounded by friends/ allies; otherwise overcome by phobic panic and reaches the breaking point.	Upon reaching the breaking point, the character’s mind will respond by either passing out/ falling unconscious, fleeing/ running away at top speed, or becoming paralyzed with fear.

Extraordinary Physical Endurance	An extremely tough individual who can withstand a great amount of physical strain or punishment. Fatigues at one tenth the normal rate.	+1D4 H.P. per level.
Immortality	The character who possesses this super ability will retain her youthful appearance and physical attributes until the day she dies. No wrinkles will appear, no loss of muscle tone, no hardening of the arteries, no heart attacks, etc. Nothing associated with aging, illness, or natural death will ever affect the character for as long as she lives.	Immune to all diseases, sickness, and radiation. Natural toxic gases and poisons do only one third their normal damage and effects last only one third as long. Man-made poisons, drugs, chemicals and toxins last half as long and are half as effective and damaging. Heals twice as fast, without scarring. Limbs and appendages that are amputated do not regenerate. Can recover from damage as excessive as 50 Hit POints, +10 H.P. per experience level, below zero, provided she has not been decapitated or the brain or heart completely destroyed.
Karmic Power	An unique power that can adjust the odds in the character’s favor. Provides +10% to any skill when used in a life or death situation. Opponents receive no bonuses to strike, parry, or dodge this character. Only straight unmodified dice rolls. Death Blows against her do not kill, they only stun. Critical strikes against her do normal damage.	Fate is conspiring to keep her alive; at an unspecified time in the future, this power will fail (stripping her of ALL her combat bonuses) and she will die.
