DOSSIER

HISTORY:
It's important to note that Enis's world isn't very different from modern day. There is just one important part that's different and that's the world of the Hidden. The Hidden are species who seek to keep their secrets and oddities away from the public eye. There are many types of Hidden and not all of them are known. Hidden fall under categories such as werewolves, vampires, fae; details on each race can be found here. Other than the Hidden there is no difference between modern day and her world. She'll be taken from year 2010.

She grew up in Illinois though Enis has no idea where. Her mother past away when she was two years old however, her father told her it was complications during childbirth. Enis later finds out that her mother’s death was because of her father’s experiments; he had changed the date of her death to Enis's birthday to cover it up.

She went to a private boarding school until she was 14 when her father pulled her out of school to be taught from home. Her father is a cruel man. He doesn't feel love in the same way that others do and puts the need of science above all else. He became obsessed after learning about the world of the Hidden, stumbling upon it by accident, and the creatures that lived in it. He wanted to use those creatures strengths and with his background in Microbiology and Computer Engineering, he had a way too so. All of his experiments were illegal, taking place out of Enis's childhood home. She was taken out of school because her father had more tests for her and he couldn't risk someone finding out what he was doing. Enis was his second experiment into chip technology and it was the first experiment not to fail.

From 14 to 24 Enis didn't see the outside world except through a window. She was kept healthy but secluded. The list of experiments for her to undergo are listed here. Please be warned that some of them are intense and will require warnings. They aren’t something that she readily talks about.

The larger experiments are the most important to note in Enis's history. The first is the initial chip when she was three. Her father hadn't expected her to survive since her mother hadn't. As he upgraded this chip he left thin scars and tampered with some of Enis's memories. She'd forgotten much of her childhood and her mother. The second larger experiment happened when she was 24. Her father tried to splice her DNA with vampire DNA while manipulating the DNA to get rid of a vampire’s weakness. In this canon vampires are considered a different race; they are not created from people but born.

He was using her as a data base for his projects and didn't want to lose the information. The best way not to lose it would be to have it walking around and living forever. This experiment was a failure and now Enis has to inject herself with a chemical mixture once a month to keep herself from changing into a vampire, with all its weaknesses. Her father was killed before he fixed this mistake, however because of this mistake, Enis stopped ageing. She'll be coming in the game at age 28 but she won't have any indication of growth pass the age of 24. The ingredients are mixed by common house hold chemicals that Enis won't have trouble finding. In game she will get sick for the first week before she remembers that she has to do this. After her father’s death Enis was free and her life changed dramatically.

For the last two years, Enis has made it her mission to find all of her father’s experiments and kill them. Most of them are unstable and thanks to the information in her head, she's able to track them down. Her goal is to erase all traces of her father’s work. She'll kill his current experiments and then find a way to kill herself. Due to safety protocols and programs that were implanted into Enis she can't kill herself. She has to find someone else to do it. She’s slowly learning how to interact with people through this time however her social skills continue to need improvement.

WHAT ARE YOUR CHARACTER'S STRENGTHS?:
Enis is very logical and mathematically minded. She is a product of how she was taught, to approach a problem as if she can find the solution given the right amount of time or variables. She doesn't worry about what she can't control and focuses on what she can control to get things done. She can take anything apart, learn how it works and put it back together with relative ease. She takes a logical approach when it comes to day to day actions and can calculate the most likely outcome. This makes her very skilled at coming up with plans. She is very book-smart and does well with numbers and variables.

Enis is tries to stay calm. She doesn't get angry if she can help it and she's the sort to swallow her tears and not let things get the best of her. She's lived a hard life but she aims to come out on top.

She has a lot of inner strength and passion that she isn't aware of. She wants to follow her own path which involves remixing songs and becoming a DJ. Specifically involving the piano which she's slowly teaching herself. Her music is the best example of her compassionate side. She wants to undo what her father had done to protect people but she doesn't want to care to deeply since she wants to kill herself in the end. Her music gives away how much Enis feels and is the one places she can't hide it. Examples of her music are here. It's these traits that help her relate to the world around her and how she finds her place in it.

She's fiercely protective of the few that worm their way into her heart, though she'll deny that she cares, but she'll do anything she can to protect them. Enis hasn't experienced much of the world besides the darkness of her father but she has a lot of hope. This continues into weaknesses because a lot of these strengths Enis cannot see inside of herself.

WHAT ARE YOUR CHARACTER'S WEAKNESSES?:
Being logical makes it hard for her to connect to people around her. She can only connect through music which I go into more in her strengths. Overall she thinks people are dumb and has little patience for them. She does try to understand but while doing this she approaches it like it's a math problem and will ask a series of seemingly uncomfortable or insensitive questions to try to further her understanding. This rarely ends well when it comes to personal relations. It shows that she yearns to connect with people but she's constantly telling herself not to. It stunts her own development and growth greatly and it takes a few later in her story to pull her head out of her ass.

Enis is decent at covering up her annoyances but she's quick to become defensive if someone tries to pry into her past. Enis doesn't consider herself without sin and she doesn't like talking about it. She takes the blame for her fathers experiments and caries that weight with her. She'll sometimes be short, giving people half truths to do what they want with but her phrasing is sometimes misleading on purpose.

The point in her story that I have chosen is because it's the best point for her to development. She's just coming into her own and I welcome for Pines to fuck with her. Her emotional growth is stunted due to her father which is her greatest weakness.

WHAT EVENTS OR CIRCUMSTANCES IN YOUR CHARACTER'S PAST HAVE IMPACTED THEM THE MOST?: Her mothers death is what impacts Enis the most. Her father has controlled her life and his tests seem normal to her simply because of their regularity. What she can't forgive is finding out about her mother. It's then that she realized that her father never loved her or her mother and he just used everyone around him. She can't forgive him and her view on the human race twists and changes into something darker at that moment. It also presents a mystery to her, a question that she could never solve. Why would her mother stay with her father? How had they had a child? Was it love or something else? These are questions that Enis will never get an answer too and not being able to find an answer to them weighs on her.

WHAT MOTIVATES YOUR CHARACTER?: This builds directly off the last question. In short, it's to erase her fathers legacy. It was something that he talked about often and knowing it was his biggest goal made Enis determined to oppose it. She not only wanted him dead, his research destroyed but all the monsters he created destroyed. She didn't see all his tests but she knows them because she has the records on the hardware in her head. They're horrible and Enis doesn't think that something like that should exist.

WHAT IMPRESSION DO OTHERS TEND TO HAVE OF YOUR CHARACTER?: Enis comes off as cold, calculating and distant. The only exception to this is when music is involved. She doesn't hide the fact that stupidity annoys her and she's often short or sharp with those she first meets. She doesn't always mean it in a hurtful way but her way of approaching something is blunt and forward.

She also comes off as strong, confident and sexy because of those two traits. She's comfortable in her own skin and since she doesn't care what others think of her she always appears like she has it together.

IN WHAT WAYS DOES THAT IMPRESSION DIFFER FROM WHO YOUR CHARACTER REALLY IS?: She's actually hurting, innocent and wanting to connect with the world and people around her. Enis is holding herself back and it takes a special sort of person to get to know her or get past her defenses. She's always trying her best to improve herself even when she doesn't know how to do that. Her music is not just her passion but her escape from the logic inside her own head.

Internally she's unsure if she wants to die, if it's really worth all the effort she's putting forward and stress she's putting on herself. She won't question it for too long because she knows that she won't be able to go through with it. More than anything Enis wants to live her own life but she doesn't think she's allowed to do that.

HOW DOES YOUR CHARACTER HANDLE CRISIS OR ADVERSITY?: Enis will approach most crisis's in a very logical way. She doesn't freak out or get flustered. She becomes more calm and calculating, like a computer. It isn't because she isn't internally panicking but because she knows that panicking will not help the situation. She tries to do what she can to the best of her abilities and if she fails she'll blame herself, despite having done everything she can. Enis rarely feels like it's enough.

WHICH 5 THINGS WILL YOUR CHARACTER REMEMBER UPON ARRIVAL, AND WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THEM?: She'll remember her mother and that her mother died when she was young. These two are specifically because the one person Enis felt like she could have loved was her mother and remembering this will instantly smooth her rough edges. She'll also remember that she was sick a lot as a child. This was due to her father but again, it's a memory that will smooth her transition to Pines. Her last two memories will be of her time at school. These are of her best friend in elementary school named Marie and of a simple memory of playing in the school yard. They are the only two normal and happy memories that Enis has of her childhood and these are also designed to confuse her since it'll be contrary to how she feels.

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU FEEL WE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER?: Enis has a computer chip in her head. It won't be able to do very much in this setting but it's important to point out that it's there.


SKILLS, ABILITIES, & PHYSICAL WEAKNESSES:
Her father taught her computer science which includes bother software and hardware aspects. As well as chemistry. Basic sciences are her strengths while she has no domestic abilities once so ever. She'll most likely burn down the house if she tries to cook. She isn't the best at cleaning either however she is very organized and can usually get away with making things look cleaner than they are.

She is really talented when it comes to music, less so creating it but taking things that exist and melding them together.

Her fighting abilities include her self defense chip which works on it's own most of the time. This chip turns her eyes yellow and does what it can to protect Enis. It can control her and make her do anything however it has to stay within Enis's physical capabilities. It's able to make her run but how fast she runs depends on her personal limitations.
She's a skilled marksman and she knows guns. She likes guns though she likes her gun which is able to use different types of ammo and was designed by her to help her hunt the creatures that her father had created. She's quick but realistically weaker than most. She has an amazing understanding of physicals and uses that to her advantage. The program knows a form of martial arts that uses an opponents strength against him and is usually just enough for her to get away. If Enis wants to kill someone she really needs a gun to do it.

INVENTORY: Her laptop, which mostly has music on it and her gun.
