Name: Lexis Bishop
Alias: Redline
Alignment: Neutral/Chaotic Good
Appearance:
Age: 27
Personality: Pragmatic, Amicable, Passionate. Lexis tries to live in the most satisfying ways possible due to her existentialist beliefs. In order to enjoy life, she just does what feels satisfying to her, and fighting powerful threats, saving lives, inspiring others, and general altruism are all satisfying to her. Because of her relaxed demeanor and usually straightforward ways of doing things, she’s a fan favorite among the L.A.R.C.S of America’s S Rank Agents.
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Bisexual
Pronouns: She/Her
Occupation: L.A.R.C.S Agent, Firefighter
Rank/Threat Level: S
Weapons/Paraphernalia: The main equipment Lexis has is an implant in her head called the Decibel Implant. This allows her to send and receive radio signals, as well as disrupt any near her. She mainly uses this for communication, as it’s more convenient than having to carry her phone or an earpiece with her. As a result, most calls she gets go to her implant, while texts go to her phone. Aside from this, she doesn’t carry or use much else unless a situation calls for it.
Ability: Thermal
Classification: 2nd Gen, Endogenic
Description: Lexis’ ability allows her to absorb heat. The stored heat has two functions, with the main one being to enhance her physical abilities. Because of this passive boost and the training she’s done to raise it, she’s capable of doing things like moving at extreme speed and attacking with enough force to create shockwaves. The secondary thing she can do with stored heat is release it in different ways. From creating explosions to enhance her attacks to releasing flames in different forms for ranged offense, her ability to release heat is incredibly versatile.
Skills:
Combat Mastery: Through years of training to make the most of her Ability, Lexis is skilled at fighting hand to hand. Her fighting style could best be described as “High Speed MMA.” While she’s always willing to grab her enemy, due to the effectiveness and flashiness that comes from focusing on striking, she mainly uses various punches, kicks, elbows, and knees. She’s also capable of improvising to either use weapons or change tactics depending on what works.
Observation: Due to a combination of training and experience, Lexis is skilled at taking note of important details. Given the nature of her job, her publicity, and the way she does things, high speed observation and improvisation is natural for her.
Showmanship: Out of personal satisfaction, Lexis tends to combine effectiveness and showmanship in her job. Whether it’s fast and flashy movements or something as simple as maintaining a smile and a relaxed attitude, he’s adapted well to being in the spotlight.
Weaknesses:
She can be overwhelmed through time and force.
While she has an abundance of stored heat, being in a cold environment can slightly reduce her effectiveness.
There isn’t a limit to how much heat she can absorb or store, but there is a limit to how much she can release. If she goes too far past her limit, even enhancing her body will start to take a toll on her. Going past her limit can reduce her resistance to extreme heat, resulting in a variety of potential negative side effects depending on the situation, from heat stroke to burns.
She can control various factors in her ability to release heat, but she can’t control it once it’s released.
Electromagnetism can potentially cause negative effects to her as a result of the Decibel Implant, usually in the form of headaches.
Due to her ability to actively absorb heat, she has to be careful when doing so on living targets. If she absorbs too much heat from a living being, the result can be fatal long before some of the more noticeable effects show up.
Backstory (Optional): Lexis was born in Los Angeles to a wealthy and philanthropic family. Due to most of her family possessing heat based abilities, they’d each been trained to use them in various ways, with combat being the most common. She trained from a young age to master her ability with help from various relatives, most of which either retired or were in a high ranking position within L.A.R.C.S. When she was ready, she joined the organization through the B.M.A.R, and started out in B Rank. Through her own achievements and many recommendations over the years, she’s risen through the ranks and has been in S Rank for the last five years. Currently she does exactly what she’d always wanted to: protect people, save lives, defeat strong enemies, travel around, and enjoy all of it as much as possible.
Extra Info:
She’s 6’1” and multilingual.
Her skin is permanently red due to her Ability, and her body temperature is passively higher than average.
Similar to most S Rank L.A.R.C.S members, she owns a large home which she operates from as a sort of base. She lives there in Los Angeles along with several other members, including relatives of hers and rookies that she personally trains as her apprentices.
Due to her Ability and altruism, she’s often just as involved in putting out large fires as she is with taking on powerful enemies. As a result of this, her house is designed to look like a large fire station as well as function similar to one.
If she absorbs enough heat from something, ice will start to form and it’ll freeze. She’s exploited this in various ways, such as freezing objects in place or creating basic constructs from ice, though she’s rarely done the latter since it takes more concentration.
She mainly patrols by just running, jumping, and launching herself around at high speed. Due to the extreme speeds she can move at, she’s capable of traveling around her home state with ease, and often patrols it and surrounding areas via this method.
Every year, L.A.R.C.S holds an online popularity contest for the sake of PR and getting a better idea of the publicity of its members. She’s consistently ranked as one of the top five in the U.S, and one of the top twenty internationally.
