Krysta Jameson
As a federal agent, she doesn’t tend to show much in the way allowing lapses in protocol. She is very formal, and insists most people call her Agent Jameson. Her partner, on the other hand, knows this is mostly a cover and gave her the nickname glowstick due to her glowing tattoos. She secretly likes this name, but she’d never tell “Frog” that.
Physical Description
A tall elf, she has the long ears typical of high elves, but it’s her skin that shows she’s actually a moon elf, a species of more nocturnal high elves. It is a pale purple colour, and seems almost translucent. She also has glowing green tattoos in what looks to be a tribal pattern over her entire body, except her neck and head. These are actually magical sigils she uses in her job, which is why they always glow. They also cause her green eyes to glow. This glow is plainly visible in the dark, and slightly visible in broad daylight. Her long hair is a dark green, and she keeps it tied in a ponytail behind her back.
Besides the glowing tattoos, she has an absolutely stellar figure, with large breasts. This isn’t helped by the fact that she usually leaves her shirt open, with a magical crystal hanging right below them. She usually paints her nails a lavender colour with green arcane sigils on them, and her lips something in the darker pinkish, almost red range. She also will use a dark green eye shadow to match her hair.
Physical Quirks
When she’s not actively investigating on scene, she’s usually got gum in her mouth. She will tend towards strawberry for the flavour, and you can usually smell it on her breath. She won’t pop bubbles with it, but she will chew it often, and replace it when the flavour is gone.
Clothing Style
Her style is very professional but with a casual twist. She usually wears a sleeveless white silk blouse, which she will leave about half open, and a pair of brown or dark blue slacks. She does tend to push the limits with her high heeled Mary Jane shoes, but she hasn’t tripped up in them yet, so they won’t get on her case about them. She has a bracelet which is a stylized dragon looping around her arm many times. She also as a pendant with a single amethyst crystal held in a claw. The gem sometimes glows, as it is an arcane device. It is on a long chain that leaves it hanging just below her breasts, against her exposed flesh. She wears earrings with hoops that grow smaller.
Mental Characteristics
Personal History
The oldest of three siblings, she actually didn’t get saddled with the responsibility of taking care of her younger siblings as much as one might expect. This was partially due to her own issues, where she had problems reading in her early years. It was found out, by the time her other siblings were born, that she has a rare form of dyslexia that made it harder for her to read cursive words, as she would follow the letters like a magical path. This allowed her to excel in magical studies, but she could only read things printed in certain fonts. As such, she was behind in her schooling compared to her siblings.
After applying herself vigorously to catch up, even taking summer classes, she began to get back to where she should be at the start of high school. She also started taking classes to utilize her natural talent for magic. When she graduated, she immediately enrolled in a magical college, and was recruited directly from there by the MCIB.
Education
Starting off with some troubles, she soon caught up when they found out what her issue with learning was. She then went on to a magical college, where she excelled in tracking spells and magical pattern recognition. She also is good with telekinetic wards and energy manipulation.
Employment
Being recruited directly from college, she has been with the Bureau for 20 years now, working her way up from a junior agent to one of the top special agents in her district. She also has one of the highest closing rates, completing most of her assignments to her superior’s satisfaction.
Morality & Philosophy
She tends to be a very supportive and helpful person, wanting to make sure that others are not hurt, and so is very driven to solve her assignments very quickly. She knows that many are trying to ban magic entirely, all because of a few bad apples, but in the end, she knows that it’s not magic that is the problem, but the people wielding it so recklessly. As she often counters, kitchen knives kill more people than magic, but we don’t outlaw them or ask people using them to be registered, do we?
Personality
Motivation
She mainly wishes to understand why people do the horrible things that they do with magic. As of yet, she hasn’t even gotten a working theory, as there are too many disparate motivations for all those suspects that she’s caught. She also wishes to understand all she can about magic, and will take any opportunity to understand more about it. She is good friends with [Analin], a professor on magical theory, and the two get into discussions on magical theory and knowledge whenever they get together.
Likes & Dislikes
She is a fan of German cuisine, and loves nothing more than bratwurst and sauerkraut. With a good lager on the side, and she’s a happy girl. She She absolutely loves German music, and the sound of a skilled singer, which is why he absolutely detests those who cannot sing and continue to do so, especially her partner, [Jax], who does it to annoy her.
Virtues
A very supportive and charming woman, she is able to convince most people that she’s only here to help, and get them to tell her everything she needs. She is very good at picking out information told to her, and has an almost photographic memory for verbal communication, something she had to develop when she had problems reading. She is also a very responsible person, always making sure she does what is required of her, all while being safe.
Vices
She has a bad habit of listening a little too much, sometimes eavesdropping on those around her. She never gossips, so this rarely goes beyond her, but is very useful as an information gathering tool. She also doesn’t have much confidence that things will get much better, being pretty cynical about her outlook on the future.
Quirks
As someone trained in magic, she tends to move her fingers in arcane patterns, even when she’s not actively casting, just to keep herself ready. She also keeps a constant spell of telekinetic nullification around her using the crystal she wears. This spell will stop all moving objects before they hit her. Her partner knows this, but he still prefers to be the one who goes in first, leaving that as an ace in the hole.
Values
She values knowledge above all else, so is always interested in new books on magic she hasn’t read, people who have different outlooks or approaches, or new styles. She will keep up with any new developments in the field, and anyone who shows affinity for it will immediately find her very receptive to trading knowledge.
Sexual Style
While she does have a healthy appetite, she isn’t that open about it, being very selective about her partners. She prefers those she has a close relationship with, even though she usually has a couple partners at once. She is very open about this with them, and they usually know each other. She is only a little interested in experimentation, only wanting to try new things occasionally. She is more of a subtle flirt, giving hints and being a little seductive with those who she is interested in, hoping they make the first move. She loves to role-play, and rather likes playing the victim in her games.
Social
Contacts & Relations
She is still close with her family, calling her siblings and parents usually once a month, or getting into a video conference with all of them, as they are all in different parts of the country. They all get together for Easter every year, which they treat like most families treat Christmas. She is also ends up going out for a night of arcane discussion and drinking with her friend [Analin] at least once a week, but wishes she would stop flirting with everyone. She has a good working relationship with her partner, but she knows his girlfriend is jealous of her, and so restricts her time with him to business, just to keep that down to a minimum. She knows how happy [Kathy] makes him, and she wants them to be happy.
Social Aptitude
A great listener, she is also very charming, and able to get almost anyone talking about what they know, or things they have seen. She is pretty evasive, however, when the topic turns towards her. She is also very adaptable, when it comes to conversation topics, able to change as quickly as necessary.
She is a staunch atheist, not feeling that any of it holds anything of value to her. She doesn’t understand how people can believe in things they never witnessed, let alone can understand. For her, she believes in only what can be measured or understood. She doesn’t wish to break anyone else’s faith, just doesn’t need it herself.
Mannerisms
She is fairly even tempered most of the time, not allowing even her frustration to show, except when it comes to Jax’s singing. She will be supportive to someone, coaxing them to tell her what they know one minute, and focused on every word they say the next without even changing her expression. She does tend to get a little cynical and resigned when people talk about how the future is going, as she doesn’t feel good about it. This leads into her sense of humour, which is usually pretty dark and dry.
Hobbies & Pets
She spends a lot of time swimming, as she wants to improve her physical fitness and reactions. She has even started taking Tai Chi, as she feels it is closest to magical, and a good skill to have. She also loves to cook, especially her favourite German dishes, usually singing some song while she does. She has a scarlet macaw named Lilo, who sings along with her, and sometimes argues with her.
Speech Style
She tends to be very quiet when she talks, saving her voice for when she needs deal wish suspects, who get a more forceful use of her voice. She sounds a lot like Trinity from the Matrix movies, but a little softer most of the time. She also tends to use more formal language with anyone but her friends.
Political Affiliation & Activism
This is the area which gives her the most cynicism about the future. She sees the way people are becoming more polarized and less able to empathize with each other and feels something horrible is going to happen sooner or later. As such, she refuses to support anyone politically. She also doesn’t feel that activism will help, as it is contributing to the problem.
