Ishmael -- A Cat and Mouse Game (AU)

Name: Ishmael Melville Alias(es): Miss Fortune Age: 21 Nationality: Irish-American (hailing from U Corp.) Pronouns: She/Her Sexuality: Bisexual

Appearance: Described as a young woman in her early-mid 20s, Ishmael is but an ordinary girl in the grand scheme of things. She doesn't have any stand-out features, aside from her voluminous sunset-orange hair that she keeps hidden or shortened most of the time to avoid suspicion from people. She's described to have jade-green eyes, though she only wears contact lenses to hide her dull green irises. She also has freckles on her cheeks that she hides with make-up.

Appearance 2: As 'Miss Fortune', she wears an embroidered ivory blouse with wide flared sleeves with ruffled cuffs (coupled with orange accents and trimmings). Along her waist is a corset fitted with hanging decorative tassels. The main fabric of her dress, which opens up on her left leg, is a dark black-orange brocade with ornate flowing embroideries imposed upon the fabric. The rest of her dress is instead a flared knee-skirt with subtle orange embroideries on the black jacquard textile. She wears black boots and clad her legs with semi-transparent stockings/pantyhose and keeps a blade strapped to her right ankle (for emergencies). She also wears a shoulder-worn bolero-styled cape that's predominantly black complimented with silver embroideries. To finish off, she wears gloves.

Personality: What little is known about the phantom thief is difficult to piece together, but a sensible picture could be painted from what officials have gathered from testimonies -- Charmingly aloof and unserious, terrifyingly alluring, and lovably snarky. She would be easy to engage in conversation, as she would usually be the first to initiate it; Her silver-tongue techniques is as deadly as it is ravishing, able to put men on their knees and have ladies twisted in a knot; and a helping of cheekiness to top it all off. In truth, no one really knows what kind of woman she is. Ishmael is first introduced as a calm, level-headed person with an expectation for sound and reasonable judgement. She considers herself to be one of the more sensible members of the team, and is often one to sigh or scoff at the foolishness of those around her. This tendency for being critical extends to her superiors, as Ishmael is the type to prioritize rationality above formalities. Generally, Ishmael does well to back up her somewhat haughty attitude with competence, making a consistent effort to stay informed on the current mission and the right course of action. She is also portrayed as an overall intelligent individual with a staunch, reliable nature. Regardless of her aptitude, however, Ishmael's quips tend to lean into antagonism, sparking arguments with those who rise to her provocations.

Personality 2: To say that her flagrant charm is only a character she plays is not exactly correct -- She fully commits to the role, and doesn't treat it as a double life. 'Miss Fortune' is who Ishmael is, though she'd often be forced into a different role in order to blend in with the common folk -- avoiding the high society in general in fear of a sharp-eyed observer recognizing the freckles of her face. She particularly enjoys having a nemesis/polar opposite that chases her around to put her to justice, and perhaps a certain detective could fill that role for her... After all, thievery isn't as fun without the rozzers. She's sharp as a tack, able to play a role if she needs to. She can strip you of whatever defenses you set up if you get oh so careless when it comes to talking to her.

The City is a massive landmass divided into 25 Districts, each District unique with it's own sense of aesthetic and culture. A societal divide is rampant within the city, with each District being divided into two distinct parts: the Nests, wherein the rich lives and enjoys the benefits of living under the protection of the Wings; and the Slums, wherein the Wings' protection does not reach and thus citizens must fend for themselves. Fixer work is the most common job in the City, being the highest-paying while also being the most dangerous. Association Fixers, however, are employed by the Head (who governs District A and A Corp.) with specific tasks in mind.
