CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS
APPEARANCE:
Wisc is slightly shorter than the average human woman with olive skin and a well toned physique. She wears a black baseball cap - sometimes backwards, and has faded pink hair that goes just below her shoulders in length. Her hair is usually tied up in either a ponytail or bun with a lock of hair on her right still down like normal. She wears a white mini puffer jacket with a graffiti-like splotch pattern of multiple colors and a black crop top underneath. She’s also wearing black sport shorts and brown sandals. She often has a thin veil of ice crystals sparkling around her and occasionally will have smoke rising up from her shoes when she gets annoyed.

BACKGROUND:
The human condition has always fascinated Wisc. The constant drive for more. More money, more power, more freedom; All in stark opposition to each other's interests. Their trauma and pride mix in beautiful ways to make stories that people want to remember. Wisc was no different and wanted her life to unfold into an entertaining epoch to recount when she gets old. However she started to realize through her experiences with other aspiring souls that she finds other’s lives to be so much more intriguing than her own.
A tale of pained vengeance and betrayal that has yet to be resolved; A story of lovers separated by old loyalties yet to be rectified; A chronicle of brothers vying for power in an intense gang war yet to be concluded. Such potential is irresistible to Wisc. It’s her nature to keep things interesting and, unfortunately for those poor souls she becomes engaged with, obstacles are the most interesting part of the story. Her victims often befall tragedy as benign as she may seem. Vengeance goes unrequited, becoming empty. Love turns to ignorance, becoming forgotten. Family ties are cut as wars are settled in blood. Wisc obsesses over these lives and never seems to be satisfied with an ending. In her mind something big needs to happen. Something to tie everything together in a nice little bow; Happiness and sadness hand in hand. A story to rival the great mythos of the gods is what she wants and she needs to be right there at the center as the common factor. A piece of her being etched into history, impossible to forget.
Even from a young age Wisc was already getting involved in dangerous mischief. She was constantly getting into fights with young punks and thugs wherever she went, gaining their ire from the constant humiliation she doled out. Eventually it caught up to her when she pissed off the wrong group of people. One of the larger gangs in Central City caught wind of her beatdowns when several of their members kept coming back injured with hurt pride. They quickly organized an ambush one night after they interrogated one of her “friends.” She was supposedly on her way to some construction sight on the fringe of the city. What they found instead when they got there was their rival gang, completely unaware. They forgot about Wisc and utterly destroyed their adversaries who had avoided them for months. When the dust settled, Wisc walked through the ranks of many battered but prideful gang members glowing with the fortune of having defeated the thorn stuck in their side for the past few months. She quickly realized who held the seat of power in the group and introduced herself with a bow.
“I think I’ve advertised my services quite well at this point.” She looks up at him with a wry smile before continuing. “If you ever need me, here’s my contact. Expect full prices after the free trial.” The kingpin raised an eyebrow in bewilderment before smirking and letting out a deep laugh.
“You certainly know how to make an entrance! Though I can’t say we’re too happy with how you’ve been treating our people.” He stands up from a relaxed slouch and suddenly seems to tower over his peers. “What exactly is it that you’re offering?”
“Information.” She puts her hand on her hip while she accentuates her words with her other. “I'm hoping we can help each other out. I figured maybe an act of goodwill would get on your good side. I tried not to hurt your boys too much but I did have to show you that I’m not someone to take lightly. I’m sure that’s something you understand very well.”
The kingpin scoffs before taking a moment to digest her words. “Ok so you’ve helped us out, but how do we know we can trust a damn word you say?”
“Lying is bad for business.” Wisc turns around and paces back for a few steps, then looks over her shoulder back to the kingpin. “I’m not some short sighted fool. I’m laying groundwork for myself and I’m offering you early access. Besides, you should already be confirming what you hear before acting on such things. Trust but verify and all that.”
It’s only been three years and she’s already the info broker for half of the city’s underworld. She has access to all kinds of dirt and drama and it’s now unbelievably easy to shepherd people in exactly the way she wants. It was finally time to sow some chaos, to add something new! to make things more… entertaining. “Stagnation is a slow death” and all that. A few more power pieces are required but this is finally where Wisc can free her wings a bit and start using her leverage. She rolls back from her computer desk, leans back and stretches her arms, letting out a sigh. “It’s going to be a good week.” She smiles as she gets up and leaves for a fun night out.
