Creator notes

Banshee is deployed.

While working on this i realized just how... shallow Melusi is as a character, short and empty story with a recycled personality. Terrible character, great operator.

Literally was the most picked defender for a season before her acog got removed, now i get to have her every round. Hooray!

Biography:

Born in the small town of Louwsburg near the Ithala Game Reserve, Ndlovu spent many years exploring with her friend, Elna Gardiner. As they grew, so did their appreciation of and sense of responsibility for the animals on the reserve. The threat from poachers fueled their determination, and though haunted they focused on the lives they could save, rather than past casualties.

Ndlovu signed up with the South African National Defense Force to broaden her skillset and fund her field ranger training. Her persistence and dedication brought her to the attention of the 1 Parachute Battalion, until an ambush in the Central African Republic left her badly wounded.

When Gardiner, who had become an accomplished veterinarian, asked for help defending Hluhluwe–Imfolozi Park, Ndlovu resigned from the military and began training local women in tracking, interception, and surveillance at the Southern African Wildlife College. Together, they are the heart of the Inkaba Task Force Anti-Poaching Unit.

Psychological report:

Specialist Thandiwe “Melusi” Ndlovu strikes most as someone uniquely suited to carrying out South Africa’s ongoing conservation efforts – she is efficient, precise, and accepts that greed remains one of humanity’s greatest challenges. When asked if she thought we would ever be rid of it, she smiled and said, “It’s good to dream, Isn't it?”

Melusi's relationship with her friend Elna began the day they discovered that their names meant the same thing: “beloved”. It wasn’t always an easy friendship, but their shared adoration for the animals of the game reserve and propensity for exploring where they absolutely should not have been saw them through a lot of challenges. Ndlovu's stoic comparison between the wounded of the battlefield and the cries of poisoned elephants is in stark contrast to Elna’s compassion. It’s interesting that one focused on prevention, and the other on triage. In the end, their divergent paths create a complementary partnership.

Ndlovu refuses to speak about the ambush that decimated her unit. It’s clear the operation was a harrowing ordeal from which she was lucky to escape. She seems more affected by the tragedies she witnessed on the reserve – comparing land mines to snares, and mentally turning the the reserve into a warzone. Her profile indicates that any negative feelings have been transmuted into action, in the forms of training the women of her anti-poaching unit and the web of drone-based surveillance she has organized to oversee their operations.

On the topic of her work, she is effusive. Ndlovu believes strongly that there must be education and a shared responsibility within the community, that simply fighting poachers is not enough. She takes great pride in the accomplishments of the women under her command, and in their contribution to the well-being of the animals they protect. She cares, too, about improving the local economy, but this concern is secondary to providing what she calls “self-directed futures” – believing that these, above everything, will counter the lure of easy money.

Device Description: Banshee Sonic Defense.

Don’t be too alarmed if you find yourself slowed when there’s no barbed wire underfoot. You can trust your ears on this one, the Banshee has caught you in a moment of weakness. While its sound blares and alerts Melusi of your presence, you might not have much time to retreat to a safe distance.

The Banshee Sonic Defence is deployable on surfaces, much like Maestro's Evil Eyes, but they don’t require any manual control. As soon as an opponent walks close enough to it, it will release its scream and slow them. It can be destroyed, but since it’s bulletproof, Attackers will have to dispense some utility or strike it up close.

One of the best assets of the Banshee is that once Melusi has placed it, her teammates can make use of it just as well as she does.

Device Evaluation:

So, look, the Banshee works by generating a standing wave of between 18-19 Hz. If you've ever thought you saw a ghost, or felt a "presence", you're familiar with the sensation that casues. Crank up the loudness, and it gets more intense. People with especially sensitive ears are going to be more destabilized than those of us who spent our glorious youth attending rock concerts (or just taking too much acetaminophen) but that's the curse of being good at something - someone else can always turn it into a disadvantage.
