--------------------------------------
The Ripper's fighting ability isn't known to have reached any actual limits, according to some who have been close to Anodyne, she has yet to reveal her true power. Or maybe, reach her true power. Anodyne is fierce, strong, fast, always thinking, always moving. Deadly at any range, Anodyne is not one to be played with. You might find yourself dead if you don't play the game seriously. Anodyne's physical strength is that of a Superhuman. Able to lift vehicles and take heavy amounts of damage, she is considering the Invictus' premier heavy hitter.
Abilities
- Ricochet: With this ability, Anodyne causes her bullets to be able to ricochet and bounce off of most surfaces. Useful for clearing out rooms full of enemies. Depending on the amount of bullets, this attack will kill or wound you.
- Like Butter: With this, Anodyne's bullets are usually able to pierce any and everything that they come into contact with. Walls, vehicles, armor, and weapons made out of even the strongest metals usually fall prey to this. There is a blue glow surrounding the bullets when she does this.
- West African Rumble: When faced with close quarters combat, Anodyne will gain a heightened sense of awareness, speed, and strength. Her strikes rival that of the strongest, her speed rivals that of the fastest, and her awareness becomes what every boxer wants in the ring.
- Pain Reliever: Considered one of Anodyne's strongest abilities, she fires a bullet into a person that slowly begins to spread some kind of energy through their body. It numbs every part of their body. Well, without taking away the ability to feel pain. From her, Anodyne does what earned her the name, The Ripper. This usually last for an hour, but the time can vary.
- I'll Be Back: This is one of Anodyne's passive abilities, it allows her to withstand large amounts of pain. She doesn't seem to be able to feel it at first until it builds up, or she feels the pain to a lesser extent than other people. It is said that she can get hit by a car and stand right back up unscathed.
Anodyne, The Ripper's Story
Anodyne, The Ripper stood atop the roof of Gambit's bar, her M39 in hand and her Colt Diamondbacks holstered on her hips. The woman had a cigarette hanging from her mouth, letting it slowly burn away before she walked over to the edge of the roof. She then spit the cigarette out, letting it fall all the way down to the street. She looked down, then turned on a heel away from the edge of the roof. With an inhale and then an exhale, she took a step back. She let gravity take control, but even as she was falling she was calm. As usual.
Anodyne, The Ripper finally came to a stop of sorts, having been rappelling herself from the roof. She held her feet out and placed them on a window where she had stopped. A room on the second level of Gambit's bar. A group of three men were in the room, they wore suits, but didn't seem to important to anyone else they would probably encounter in the future. But their futures including death. Bloody deaths at that. As several bullets from Anodyne's rifle would tear through the windows and into the bodies of the three men and then out the door and walls into the hallway and maybe whatever room was across the hall.
Anodyne, The Ripper stood at the top of the staircase that led to the bottom level of Gambit's. The bar. She had a cigarette in her mouth, taking a drag every few seconds as she watched all those in the bar. Izumi had finally let her come out to play, and play she would if need be. For now, she would wait for a contract kill to come her way. Surely, somebody wanted someone on ice. Surely.
Anodyne, The Ripper began slowly down the staircase, tossing her still lit but otherwise finished cigarette out in front of her. But, The Ripper would step on it as she descended the staircase, her weapons showing on her body. Her two Colt Diamondbacks holstered on each hip, a Desert Eagle in her right shoulder holster, her Colt Anaconda in the left. She was almost always ready for war, ready to kill someone on Izumi's orders, or when she found some work. She said nothing as she moved towards the counter, no emotion shown in her expression, the only determined in her body language was that she confident. Not arrogant. She took a seat beside Sophia, nodding to her as she showed the Invictus patch on her right shoulder. She knew who Sophia was, even if she didn't of The Ripper.
Anodyne, The Ripper nodded, gesturing around the bar with one hand and then with both hands in a bigger flourish. Her way of indicating the whole world was full of the Invictus. No, the multiverse. Everywhere. No matter where you went, the Invictus had already been there. Be it as mercenaries, religious crusaders, or conquerors. They had been there at one point. This is what drew Anodyne to them. The power.
Anodyne, The Ripper nodded to Sophia, making a gun with her right hand and mouthing, "Bang." The Ripper looked to Meldraenei and raised an eyebrow. She didn't know her. Which meant that the Veritas had not taken an interest in her. Which was usually good for the person that hadn't been deemed 'interesting' by the Invictus. She didn't move to say anything, of course. But, she did pull a card from one of her pockets, handing it to Sophia, nodding once. The card would hold the words, 'The Ripper' and a phone number underneath it.
Anodyne, The Ripper merely shook her head at the mention of Aiyanna, she knew all about that one. The Ripper knew quite a bit, she then shook her head at Meldraenei. Anodyne pointed at herself, then made another gun with her hands and aimed at Mel. Nodding once, she put her arms to her side. Still, she hadn't spoken one word to anyone since she had been present. Maybe soon she would say something, but for now, she enjoyed being out and about. The world wasn't new to her, but the freedom was, in a way.
Anodyne, The Ripper raised an eyebrow at Mel. Why in the world would she think they were enemies, or possible enemies? The Ripper looked to Sophia, she may have been a possible reason, and then she heard the name Aiyanna. A very good reason. Very good. Had it not been for her orders, she'd have take Mel
Anodyne, The Ripper Mel's gun and took it apart.*
Anodyne, The Ripper nodded in agreement at Sophia's words. Pulling guns on people was impolite. Sometimes. It depends. The Ripper looked at the water and then to Sophia, she didn't know of much generosity outside of the Invictus and the master. She took a sip of her water, confused by Meldraenei. Where she was from, the Humans would come to collect those that devoured other beings and burn them at the cross. Gambit's bar was either very open minded, or the people were dense.
Anodyne, The Ripper looked at Sophia, and then to Mel, she was going to drown out the answer to that. That was something she didn't need to know. She was an adult... Human...? Something. The point was, she knew what intercourse was, but she didn't need people being public about it. Things like that went on in private for a reason. And, sometimes in public, as Kazen told her. She made a mental note never to tell anyone that she was still a virgin ever again.
Anodyne, The Ripper watched Sophia, herself getting up to hold a hand out to the Hyena. They were in Africa, she had seen them when she was younger. It had been so long since she had seen one up close, seeing as she usually didn't have the time for a trip to a zoo. Her face finally showed more than blank confidence and a calm demeanor, it was only slightly interested.
Anodyne, The Ripper leaned in close to Sainted, smelling the animal for just a few moments before looking to Sophia, then to Mel, then to Grenville, then back to Sainted. So far, she liked them all, though she was wary Meldraenei because of her affiliations. But, the teachings of the Invictus were clear. Give everyone the benefit of the doubt, help all that need it.
Anodyne, The Ripper followed Sophia's example, holding out a brown hand to Grenville. Nodding once. She knew that some people shook hands to greet each other, apparently, these Humanoids did that as well. Which meant she wouldn't be offended anyone by putting her hand out and accidently challenging them to a duel.
Anodyne, The Ripper felt proud. Grenville shook her hand.
Anodyne, The Ripper gave Grenville a thumbs up. She liked his method of eliminating his targets. She now figured that if she had killer dog or Hyena, she'd be more effective. It reminded her of that one video game someone in the Invictus had shown her. The one with the cop. No, not Max Payne. The other one. The cop had a dog. Dead 2 Rights! That was it. The Ripper could just see it now, walking down the street, her dog gnawing at some poor guy's neck.
Anodyne, The Ripper moved her hands like she was stabbing someone, though it was more like a gangland prison style of shanking motion. She was agreeing with Sophia, and probably showing her want for a blade or two. Izumi hadn't given her any just yet. But, she was sure she knew why. Guns were her thing. She was a West African gunslinger, a marksman in all regards.
Anodyne, The Ripper nodded at Sophia, peering over at her dagger and then to Grenville and his blade. It reminded her of weapons from the people of her land and farther east. Anodyne opened her mouth as if to speak, but in truth, she was just yawning. You thought she was going to say something. You noobs.
Anodyne, The Ripper nodded, grabbing the hilt of the blade. She enjoyed the feel of it, she stood in sort of fencing posing as she held the blade. The power. The power that holding that blade was made Anodyne mentally back flip. She offered the blade back to Grenville the same as he had to her, soon inclining her head respectfully to Sophia in a manner that Sophia might recognize.
Anodyne, The Ripper nodded, reaching into her small jacket for a moment. Pulling her Africa pendant from it to show to Grenville. She pointed at the Hyena, then at the blade, then finally her pendant shaped like the motherland.
