She feels most emotions at a ‘muted’ level while being able to only to manifest some at a full range, such as frustration and anger<br/>Likes: Gambling, fine wines, fine cuisine. Good game of cards. Loyalty.<br/>Dislikes: Disobedience. Idiots. Breaking your word<br/>Psychological Quirks: Very little emotional affect.<br/><br/>Backstory: Zoey was born the a loving lower middle class family, her father a teacher and her mother a lawyer for a civil liberty group. She was a smart child with a curiosity for the sciences that her parents cultivated anyway they could. It was on a trip to a science event with her father that she was in a car accident at the age of ten. Her father died in the crash instantly<br/><br/>She woke in the wreckage and her father comforted her while she waited to be found. He reassured her, talked about his hopes and dreams for, and finally told her to let him go. She touched his cheek and willed him to rest, and felt him die. She spent years in therapy, with her flat affect and apparently diminished emotions confusing them and typically assigning it as a form of ptsd.<br/><br/>Academically, she excelled in school particularly in science. She had learned to not speak of her powers in school, therapy or to anyone. She started small, house flies and a few of the white mice she fed to her pet python and by the time she had to dissect frogs in high school, she was able to avoid accidental animations of them. There had been on or two incidents her first year but by her junior year she had complete control.<br/><br/>She killed her first person by age sixteen, the first use of ‘death touch’ on a man who attacked her. He stabbed her, which resulted in her first use of her powers on both herself and a living person. Despite the horrific pain of a punctured lung and gut wound, she managed to stagger to a local fire station. She ‘died’ three times that day; using her power and intense will to keep her body running till the doctors stabilized it, which is to say patch the holes and put enough blood into her to let her body work on it’s own.<br/><br/>She graduated high school in the top 5% of her class, good but not too noticeable. She finished her bachelors a year early due to not being the most sociable student and directly entered medical school. Realizing, by self diagnosing via the DSM, that she was unlikely to complete a hospital internship and become an MD with her issues she exited medical school with a Master’s degree and took a year or two to get over ‘burn out’.<br/><br/>Several years passed as she became known as a professional card player, her reduced emotions making her a hard person to play against. During that time she also became known as a ‘specialist’ of sorts. She could get secrets out of the dead, for a price, and if you dug deep enough she could provide ‘other services.’ Dead men who could do crimes for you. Recently she’s started ‘upgrading’ some of her corpses, adding hidden weapons and/or armor to them. A corpse still falls apart after a certain amount of damage but armor plating, discreetly implanted by a skilled surgeon, bumps the number up.<br/><br/>She has over two dozen kills with as yet no evidence. Most killed by one of her animations, but a few by her own hand. Typically using chemicals and poisons that would be hard to find after a certain amount of time. Megadoses of potassium is a favorite and she’s animated a few victims after their death to facilitate ’suicides‘ as well.<br/><br/>Between her various contracting jobs, her skill at cards and investing, she’s ready to move on to the next level of improving corpse longevity and upgrades. She’s looking into experimenting with larger more exotic animals such as large felines with bigger goals after that. Think Rhinos and Elephant big.<br/><br/>Right now, she has started up a club, the Graveyard, though she doesn’t directly mange it, as another way to launder her contractor work and to provide a legitimate income steam for her small group of ‘cleaners’ that she employs.<br/><hr/><br/>(https://txt-dynamic.static.1001fonts.net/txt/dHRmLjMyLjAwMDAwMC5RV0pwYkdsMGFXVnouMAAAAAAAAA,,/comic-balloon-new.regular.png)<br/>Talents:<br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Knife fighting: in addiction to being medically trained, she has talent with a varies of blades</li><li>Amateur Chef (French, Cajun and Italian.  </li><li>Management: She runs an efficient ‘crew’</li><li>Maker: Some skill in crafting items, machining and kit electronics  </li></ul><br/>Skills:<br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Skilled medical technician :While not a certified doctor, she is an adept surgeon and medic. She’s an even better coroner. </li><li>Scientist: Genius with specific skills in Anatomy, biology and chemistry</li><li>Card Shark: World class card player</li><li>Investor: She is quite skilled at reading the markets and getting great returns. </li></ul><br/>Necromancy (https://powerlisting.fandom.com/wiki/Necromancy): Her connection to the powers of life and death grant her some useful and terrifying abilities<br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Reanimation: She can animate the dead and ‘program’ them for a variety of tasks. The simpler the tasks the longer they last without reinforcement or renewal. The ‘fresher’ the body the longer the animation will hold, preservatives like formaldehyde enable for longer use. With embalming and refrigerated containers she can preserve the bodies for sometime </li><li>Undead Control: she can control any animated body she’s raised. The more she commands or the more complex the actions the harder it is to maintain. Typically she can direct a handful of corpses. (GM Choice) She can also compel a corpse so reanimated to answer her commands.</li><li>Resurrection: She can hold off death for a time, depending on the affected body. Depending on the issue she can stave off death long enough to allow a person to survive, depending on the cause. It could require antidotes, surgery or time. She has to maintain contact and concentration. She has used this method to hold onto her life to survive an overdose.</li><li>Death Touch: she can disrupt the balance of energy in a person to destabilize their biological processes and even transfer energy between bodies. It’s not reliable power and has rarely worked we she tried to use it intentionally. Generally she finds weapons more useful. She suspects that learning to control this might  </li></ul><br/>Advantages: she is a solid planner with multiple options on how to act in a situation in mind for nearly situation. Her emotional disorder can be an advantage in that she does feel fear, panic or frustration at the same levels as others and can be fully pragmatic in difficult situations. The ability to continue to with otherwise mortal injuries is not to be under estimated<br/>Disadvantages: She occasionally might animate dead things without trying. Her emotional issues occasionally make it hard to easily interact with other people easily and can be off putting and frustrating.<br/><br/>Weapon(s): She normally has a weapon of some sort, typically a knife or sidearm. Since, to date she has no convictions, she has a valid concealed carry license. She is also quite good with chemical ‘options’ like drugs and poisons.<br/>Gear:She has several outfits designed with light layers of Kevlar-like material. Additionally she has a few vehicles.<br/><br/>Connections:<br/>- Samatha Cross (AribethAmkir) Rival
