Overview: Laurel is a bit of an adrenaline junkie. When her work is not calling, which it is surprisingly infrequently as her legions of aides and assistants handle the work before it reaches her desk, she’s partaking in some activity, be it gymnastics, riflery, horseback riding, stunt driving, et cetera. She’s always open to try new things, and hates being bored. However, this adventurousness leads to trouble, as when she’s out say to try skydiving, she’s vulnerable. Which is why she needs bodyguards, and still has self-defense training and Yao.


Other Equipment:

• A variety of defensive weapons, ranging from a Taser to a handgun.
  
• Her mansion, Valentine Manor, and the grounds surrounding it, which have lots of room for activities, such as horseback riding and marksmanship practice.
  

History

Laurel was born as the child of the previous head of Valentine Arms, his only child and daughter. Her grandfather was displeased, as he wanted the company to pass to male heirs, with his paternalistic views. Her father disobeyed him, grooming Laurel from a young age to take up the mantle of Valentine Arms. Her grandfather refused to deal with him, instead spending time with her uncles, but Laurel didn’t really care. When her grandfather died when she was 6, her father didn’t attend his funeral, and she didn’t exactly care either.
She went to private schools growing up, and in her free time was either learning self-defense from her uncle Michael or learning business from her father. She loved her life, but it changed when her father was assassinated by a mysterious shooter while giving a press conference one day. The shot itself wasn’t fatal, but the bullet had been laced with a rare poison known as “curare”, and her father never stood a chance. She was 12 when he died, and her uncle Michael took his place, moving into Valentine Manor and introducing her to the fun side of life. He took her skydiving, horseback riding, and a variety of other activities, showing her how many activities she could be doing. Laurel became addicted, becoming an adrenaline junkie almost, but managed to keep it under tabs for a while. When she was 18, she finally inherited Valentine Arms, pulling the company out of the financial slump it had been experiencing without a Valentine at the helm and becoming famous overnight as the youngest successful business exec in the world. That same year, her uncle Michael was killed, drained dry by a Fangire. This caused her to learn of the existence of monsters in the world, and she gave the Research and Development division of Valentine Arms a new mission: create weaponry so normal humans could fight back against monsters.
When she turned 19, her birthday party was an eye-opening experience for her. She began dating a man named Oliver, meeting at the party, and they were deeply in love. It was while she was dating Oliver that she experienced many things, more than she cares to admit sexually, until one night, he tried to kill her. Yao stopped him before he could do it, but he left behind a scrap of fabric with a logo on it. She analyzed it, using her military connections to get into various databases and determining it to be the logo of Gambit, a shadowy organization led by the man known to Interpol as “Deathstroke”. She somewhat ignored this info, allowing Yao to do with it as he pleased, since it seemed to be important to him. She continued her new path of adrenaline junkie things, taking up her style of taking up and abandoning hobbies with alarming regularity. However, Gambit seemed determined to kill her, so she was forced to step up her security. Yao just wasn’t cutting it anymore.

Sample RP: Two figures clad in white dueled with rapiers in the dance that was the sport of fencing. One fighter had clear superiority, and soon poked her opponent right in the center of his chest.
“You need to step up your game, Richie.” Laurel said, pulling her mask off and handing her rapier to a helper, who also took Richie’s rapier.
“I guess I do.” Richie said, pulling off his mask. “You’ve gotten good.”
“I’ve been doing this for almost a year now.” Laurel said.
“It took me almost five to reach that level of skill.” Richie said. “You’re a quick learner.”
“More like a hard worker.” Laurel said. “I’ve practiced with the others when you’re not here.”
“Not bad.” Richie said. “Who’ve you been practicing with?”
“Yao.” Laurel replied simply.
“Explains the somewhat unorthodox style.” Richie said. “You have to counter a two-ended weapon.”
“True. But it’s good practice. I can counter a one-ended weapon faster.” Laurel countered.
“True.” Richie said. “Well, same time next week?”
“As always.” Laurel said, smiling.

Overview: Yao is the silent guardian. He almost never speaks, partially due to a fault in his partially-computerized brain that leads him to being only able to speak Mandarin Chinese, but he can understand and write in American English, and partially due to his preference of allowing his actions to speak louder than his words. He would give his life before seeing the life of a good person taken in front of his eyes. His one sole desire, beyond the defense of those who cannot protect themselves, is finding out his past. He only remembers up to about 3 years ago, when he first received his upgrades at the hands of the Surgeon, and will relentlessly chase any leads he finds on the Surgeon in an effort to regain his past.


Other Equipment:

• His bow and arrows and knives
  
• A communicator/translator strapped to his left wrist, which he can use to communicate with a variety of people via text messages, which he dictates into the brace. The brace then translates the message and sends it along.
  

History

Yao’s first memory is waking up, strapped to a surgery table, with a man in a mask and traditional surgeon’s garb standing over him. The only sort of moniker he learned for the man was “The Surgeon”, and this man all but ended his life as he knew it. When he woke up, he was still on the surgery table, but alone and unrestrained. He took a moment to admire his scars before a man confronted him. This man, an older Chinese man, told him his name was Yao Fei and he was the perfect warrior. As the man led him out, they were attacked by a group of heavily armed men in black masks. The old man was wounded, and the two of them ducked into a room in the complex. The room was an armory, and inside Yao found a bow and arrows. He put his enhancements to the test, killing every single one of their attackers. However, the bullets were apparently poisoned, and the old man died.
Yao escaped the facility, becoming a mercenary and assassin for two years before being hired to take down a woman named Laurel Valentine. He got in easily and blazed through the security force, defeating Laurel’s chief of security, a Greek man named Constantine Drakon, after a hard-fought battle. However, he spared Laurel for some strange reason. Recognizing his talent, Laurel offered him a job as her new head of security and personal bodyguard. Yao took the job, working in the shadows as her guardian. While working for her, he discovered the existence of a shadowy organization known only as Gambit. The Surgeon was one of their most prominent members, so Yao began tracking any leads he could find relating to Gambit, in addition to his job for Laurel.

• Kevin Winniker- A friend of her father, passed on certain things to Felicity from her father
  

Overview: Felicity is, as Laurel has described her on many occasions, "adorable". She's the very definition of "she doth protest too much", as she has a habit of over correcting whatever she says that might even be slightly wrong. She's believed to be the greatest technological expert in the world, but she refuses to let this go to her head. However, this is merely a facade, as she really makes frequent use of Valentine resources to track Gambit's movements and attacks them as Huntress frequently. She hates Reaper and his people with a passion, since they killed her family.

History

Felicity was born the eldest daughter of a sailor and a seamstress. She never really took to sewing, instead tinkering with things around her. She was always taking apart her toys, fiddling with her family computer when they finally got one. She liked to play with her siblings, Jane, who was two years younger than her, and Robbie, who was three years younger than her. Her life was generally enjoyable. One day, when she was 8, her father came home unexpectedly, saying he'd lost his job, ignoring the obligatory rant from his wife, and immediately began training young Felicity in fighting and shooting. She was confused, but went along with it, becoming quite good by the time she was 11. She took up her computer hobby again with the new improved computers, and began teaching herself to code and program.
When she hit puberty, her father turned into the classic overprotective dad, allowing her to only bring female friends home with her so she wouldn't be getting all frisky. However, this was doomed to fail, as Felicity was discovering that she was bisexual. She brought female friends home and was still getting frisky, just with girls. In fact, this saved her life, as one night, when she was 15, she was having a "sleepover" with a few friends of hers. When she returned home that night, she returned to carnage. Her family had been killed, her mother and siblings bound to chairs and shot, while her father had been taken somewhere else and beaten severely, before being stabbed. Felicity found him in the moments before his death, and he revealed the name of their killers: "Gambit". Then he died, succumbing to his wounds. The investigation into their deaths turned up nothing, and Felicity went to live with relatives. She spent this time honing the skills her father had taught her even further while training her own as well, swearing revenge against this "Gambit".
When she turned 18, she was confronted by the investigating officer in her family's murders. He told her that, after some digging, they had found that her father had been involved in some arms-trading and the new consensus was he had pissed off the wrong people. She mentioned Gambit, and the officer became very flustered before leaving. A few days later, she was taken in for questioning by Interpol, who had been investigating Samuel Damien's involvement with the organization Gambit. They questioned her extensively, before leaving her alone in the room. That's when she met Kevin Winniker. He revealed himself to be a friend of her father, and he gave her a flash drive from her father. On it, she found a variety of designs, designs her father had stolen from Gambit, including a costume being made for one of their top agents, a "Dani Reaves", who was being promoted for "the efficient elimination of the Damien family". She became overcome with rage, and took her old crossbow, finding and killing this Dani Reaves and finding the costume. It turns out Ms. Reaves was actually one of Gambit's top agents, her codename being "The Huntress" and apparently the younger sibling of another of their top agents. Felicity took the costume she found inside, which was made according to the designs from the flash drive, and assumed the identity of the Huntress, striking at Gambit wherever she could, which wasn't many places. While she worked at this, she moved to live with family in America and went to Princeton, graduating valedictorian with a degree in Information Technology when she was 21. She applied for a job with Valentine Arms, and was hired nearly immediately due to her stunning credentials. Her first priority was getting into the database, seeing what they knew, and finding a surprising bit of info about Gambit in there. She began using it for her own purposes, striking against Gambit whenever she could. Within Valentine, she climbed the ladder stunningly quick, gaining the attention of Laurel. They soon became friends, and when Laurel found that Felicity was bi, lovers. Felicity moved in with Laurel, as there was plenty of space in Valentine Manor anyhow, and continued to climb the ladder, soon finding herself at the top, as the Chief of IT for all of Valentine Arms. She continues to use the info from Laurel's personal databanks to fight against Gambit.
