Poor Dual Brain (Jordan) – Int – Automatic – 1^st round of high stress (such as combat) must make –3 bonus mental resolve check or 2^nd brain (alter ego) takes over.  The 2^nd brain has the following traits:  vengeance, unscrupulous, illogical, flirty.  After an hour, the 1^st brain becomes dominate once again.  Both brains have full access to skills and have same mental ability scores.  The 2^nd brain dislikes the 1^st but not necessarily her allies.

Latent Zerg Mutation (5^th Level) – Zerg Overmind Abilities (see background)

1.       Granted ability to purchase following Mesmerism FX skills – confuse, dominate, forgetfulness, hypnotize, mindshatter.

2.       To use given skill, costs one fatigue point rather than one FX energy.  Thus it is exhausting to use these mental abilities.

3.       Transmission of ability is by pheromones and delta waves (sleep waves) via eye contact.  If there is no atmosphere or either person is in esuits (or the like), +2 step penalty applied to powers due to limited medium to transfer pheromones.

4.       Range of skills is 10/20/30 m.

These abilities use pheromones and delta waves (mental brain waves associated with sleep) rather than eye contact and voice emissions.  The reasoning is that Zerg are more animalistic creatures with a pheromonal/somatic communication language.  Mesmerism is more based upon hypnotists and public speakers.  Since these Zerg Overmind skills are from ’Jordan’ and thus a poor dual brain, the FX energy drain would not come from a secondary FX pool source nor from the ‘dark matter’ energy pods within the body.  It unfortunately drains the body via the vascular system.  The genetic anomalies of the second brain and the altered vascular system which helps maintain that organ cause this effect.  Since the brain’s neural pathways for the Zerg Overmind skills are so different to those that control ‘dark matter’ emissions, using these skills are draining on the body with the loss of chemicals and sleep (delta waves).  Thus Elvan’s fatigue score shall supplement her Zerg Overmind skills only. In meaning, Elvan shall suffer daze and possible knockout effects for using these skills

Description

Height – 5’8”, Weight 135 lbs., dark-brown skinned, violet thick hair, violet glowing eyes (no iris), anatomy as normal except an extra pair of black organs that generate dark matter energy near the kidneys, tapered ears, extendible 4” tendrils from the palms of her hands.  With gaining of the Zerg Overmind abilities, electric blue spines (1” high) have grown from forehead (2” path) back through hair down to mid back.  Changed hair color in this region to electric blue as well.

Background

 Elvanshalee Noquar is at times known as Jordan Noquar, a Terran of African descent.  Her story begins as she grew up partially in the Far Reaches on the planet of Korhal before the Terran Confederacy nuked the planet with 1000 Apocalypse-class nuclear missiles.When the Sons of Korhal led by Arcturus Mengsk offered their assistance to the survivors, she joined their ranks and took up the profession of “Ghost” or infiltrator.  During her training of stealth and investigation at a remote base in the sector of Koprulu, a Zerg (an External race) incursion of their base abducted her for infestation.  She later awoke changed inside a putrid polyp.  Her body had been twisted and mutated by cancer-like toxins.  On the outside she appears as an elegant voluptuous woman of unusually hard ebony skin.  However, her violet stained hair, violet-glowing eyes, and tapered ears betray her as something more.  Any medical scan would easily identify even more, an extra set of organs including a brain.  The extremely unstable chemicals inside her allowed her to manifest the ability to manipulate black light thus far.  Whether to produce maser-like radiation from her hands or to bend the dark matter energy to make her shielded, the Zerg had a new toy to terrorize the Terrans.  However, the Zerg Cerebrate in charge of this new trooper was new to mutating this species.  The implanted brain took on more of her undesirable flaws rather than the programmed ones, and also was not the dominate factor.  This new identity calls itself Jordan.  In either case, she was not easily controlled.  At release to her first assignment, she quickly defected back to the Terran side.  She now currently works with Jim Raynor who has connections with the mysterious Protoss.  As a strange irony to her story, Jim Raynor and herself are against Arcturus Mengsk and his diabolic plans of being dictator to the Far Reaches.  With incomplete training in any career and desires to cure her “cancer’ or other infested Terrans, she has taken on the mantle of medicine and genetics in her later years.  As a secondary role, she continues to help those against the External threat in any sector.

Recently, Jim Raynor has asked her to take up the old role of investigator.  Raszagal of the Dark Templar has felt the return of a fallen comrade and has asked for their help to determine the fate of this begotten soul.  In return for these services, the Protoss Dark Judicator has inclined to Elvanshalee that she may be able to help Elvanshalee and Jordan to co-exist in a much better relationship.  She now travels to the Verge Sector to meet with a known contact in the system.

The cloaked contact told her of the ship Kurtosis and their Protoss warrior.  Convinced of a possible lead, she met with the captain, a ‘Lord’ Raven Loresvault, at Alitar shipyards.  Though seemingly sincere and respectful, more hinted at this individual much like herself.  Taking on the role of ship’s doctor she quickly learned of the fate of Rubiks’ Nox and Raven’s connection.  She also learned of the crew’s doctrine against the Externals.  Deciding to join this Al Karam sect and taking the symbiote in confidence, Elvan released Rubiks’ soul back to Aiur as promised to Raszagal over Oberon.  What of the Dark Templarate’s promise of mind reunification?  She figured,  ‘that which does not kill us, makes us stronger.’  The Externals Wars has many fronts.  Which sector of space to make a stand doesn’t matter.  Just so that you make a stand.

Her journeys on Oberon would change many things about herself and even Jordan.  Coming out of star drive, Kurtosis’ scanners picked up External vessels and their “interaction” with the locals.  Shattered remains of ship hulls.  The Kurtosis quickly navigated to Oberon.   Even here at first arrival, the Kurtosis crew was foreshadowed with danger and political intrigue.  Starting with allying with a nanite-altered Fraal hunted by the Externals, saving Nariac ambassadors while uncovering the VC Omega organism plot, bombing Exeat Temples but mishandling an assassination attempt, losing comrades soul trapped in black orbs due to the Gardhyi, and then partaking in a suicide mission on a Rigunmor dreadnaught in an attempt to liberate Oberon.

All along, ‘Jordan’ the poor dual brain has had moments to experience the conscience forefront.  Along with telepathic scans from Dralanna and exposure to two different Gardhyi orbic artifacts, latent powers implanted by the Zerg Cerebrate have begun to evolve.  Originally designed to subjugate targets or obstacles of the Zerg Swarm, these powers never came to the foreground due to the incapacity of the poorly developed dual Zerg brain and personality.  Now with maturity and psionic stimulation of ‘Jordan’, she is beginning to understand another facet of her supposed-role to the Zerg.  All this finally catalyzed fully with Raiden’s use of a mutant electric arc from an embrace with Dralanna that left Jordan enraged.  With the new spines as a mark, will Elvan be able to resist the droning chant of the Swarm or the spread of the Zerg hypervirus?  Time will tell.

Elvanshalee continues to grow personally with the group.  Many trials and near-death scenarios have forged many bonds, particularly with Dralanna and Raiden.  But her special connection is a robotic feline she renamed/programmed Sabyr (from Kittie).  Originally built by a T’sa, he later ‘left’ the group, as so many have in one form or another, and left behind Sabyr.  She even recently upgraded the robot as long promised.

Her recent adventures have transversed time and dimensions from I'krl (and being one) to prehistoric cave people and from flying dragons to back home.  Her purpose remains well established with this group and their desire to end the advancements of the Externals.  Her passions for eliminating these creatures have been tempered though from her dealings with the Zerg.  She knows time is of the essence but also that careful patience is needed before rash action.  Due to this perception of life, her bond with Raiden has grown into a developing relationship.    She, however, worries about becoming more vulnerable with this new “level” with Raiden.  She had not “cared” for someone since her personal losses back at Koprulu.  Will love conquer all?
