Race: Modified Human/Hemoglobin Reliant Parasitic Lifeform (Earth)
Gender: Female
Time: Pan-Atomic Era, 1964 A.D
Personal information: Codename 'V' (She calls herself 'Vee' or 'Vivi') is a strange beast-Vampire is the everyday term, but we prefer to use H.R.P.L. While Vee needs rich human blood to feed the organism that she is bonded too, she is quite polite about it-preferring to feed on criminals or non-lethally upon those who are asleep. Though her aging is all but ceased, her mind is still somewhat childlike. Her ability to regenerate from most injuries and inability to feel pain have also made her reckless and confident, for her size. She actually likes to show off her powers, when she has an audience-seemingly proud of what she has become. When asked about her 'weaknesses', she laughed off silver, garlic and sunlight-or anything like that-but said she couldn't stand fire, that it was the only thing she was truly afraid of. We're not sure how to test that, since she almost tore off my head when I lit up a cigarette.
-Appearance: A seemingly normal 19 year old woman with Caucasian skin, deep green eyes and short brown hair. She does not look particularly strong or fast, but would probably be considered beautiful by the standards of the time. Some additional changes appear if she had not fed in some time-the eyes steadily turn darker, the skin paler and duskier, and so on.
-Short biography: V grew up in central America-the heartland, in the early 1900's. Though she doesn't remember much of the time, which is a blessing. She and her entire family were all gunned down in a botched robbery-only she survived with significant brain damage, and little hope of recovery. It was at this point an aging H.R.P.L convinced it's carrier (or perhaps the other way around) that she could be a new, and useful host. From what we observed, an older man was found dead at the scene later that night-with wounds that suggested little violence, but a great deal of mass had been removed from his body. Vee walked out of the hospital the next day, completely healed in mind and body-personality, more or less intact.
Though it was difficult to follow the old man around time wise, we eventually figured out he got his the same way-eventually, the H.R.P.L 'uses up' a body (we think the time frame is almost a thousand years), and all those years it saved it's owner catch up to them. So much for immortality, right?
-What will have been your reasons for joining the Agency: Vee knows she does not belong anywhere. Her unique needs are dangerous to everyone she meets. From what we can understand, mentally, she is still Human. She feels genuine regret for the killings she's done, but does not enough about the organism to try and alter it's behavior. She vehemently insists there is no way to remove it without killing her, though. Her only hope is to find some way to placate it, perhaps using technology or science not yet developed. Vees current attempts have taken her around the world, but she has found nothing but mysticism and fear.
Knowing all this, she approached one of our covert agents and asked if 'she could tag a ride to wherever you came from'. Apparently, she had read his mind and deduced our function-she claims to truly want to placate the thing inside of her, or at least find a place where 'her people' are. Subject claims 'they' are out there, she sometimes hears 'them' but does not know exactly how to find 'them'. Yeah, I didn't want to sleep either.
Medical Examination: She is only completely normal from the outside-a simple examination revealed nothing out of the ordinary aside from a slightly lowered core body temperature. A medical scan was quite illuminating...there seems to be some sort of lifeform wrapped around her spinal column. Almost like a seaform, but...more artistic. Like a living machine. It perfectly incorporates itself into her body-drawing blood and nutrients from a secondary sack beside the stomach to sustain itself. The full effects are unknown, but, we can tell it vastly improves her natural abilities. Vee is capable of great feats of speed and power through the use of released chemical stimulants from the lifeform, more than enough to overcome any normal threat-she picked up a dumbbell and threw it across the room in a childish fit-though, she tells us this is not a pleasant feeling, akin to becoming 'feral, like a dog' and that it drains her energy quickly. Then she has to feed again.
Intelligence tests revealed she was very quick to learn and intelligent as a fully grown adult, but is surprisingly naive and has difficulty controlling her emotions.
I felt some odd effects during the examination, in truth, and later my hypothesis was proven correct-the lifeform, of it's own volition, can effect the minds of those around it-and any information it gathers externally, it delivers to Vee in the form of hunches. In my case it was...lowering my guard. Making me see her as more attractive, in plainer terms. Vee tells me she was slightly hungry at the time, but it's nothing she wasn't able to handle. I cannot tell if she was being truthful. When discussing the H.R.P.L she gets very close lipped, and will not speak much about it.
I did one final test, with her permission-and drew a small sample of blood from her thumb, with a scalpel. She said it didn't hurt. As I suspected, and she confirmed, she can regenerate from nearly any injury-no matter how grievous-with enough 'juice' as she coins it. She asked if I wanted to try bullets next, but I declined.
It is clear we dealing with two beings here. Vee is not too different from an average 19 year old woman. The H.R.P.L, though, is clearly a predator-and it has an unseeingly amount of control of her motives and actions. I do know, it will likely do anything to keep it, and by extension, it's host alive and feeding.
In the mean time, I've synthesized an extremely basic antidote to her...uh, disorder. Prototypical in the extreme. She said upon taking it, and I quote...
Vee:It tastes...alright, I guess...but, it's like as if you asked someone to drink the mist from a waterfall when they were thirsty. It's...just...not enough. I need ALOT...do you have some more?
