Profile

Born cursed with the Devil's Fire, Elizabeth Sherman's life has been tortured since then. Starting with her family, her 'powers' always ended with the fiery deaths of the people around her, and her history is a trail of fires and foster homes. But - the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense managed to pull her out of that sad story. Disliking the structure of mainstream, more military in style S.H.I.E.L.D., Liz herself often butts heads with leadership, and often walks out on both, only to be pulled back by the friendly faces in B.P.R.D., time and time again.

FIRE IMMUNITY

Liz could theoretically walk on the sun, and be okay. Keeping the hellfire within her means that she is tough to bother with heat or flame of just about any kind. And somehow, she is able to extend this immunity to the clothes she wears. Unfortunately, she can't gift that immunity to anyone else - or she would have already.

THE FLAME WITHIN

For as long as she can remember, Liz has been keeping a fire tamped down inside of herself. At first, it started out fun - a little spark that danced around her. But as she grew, the fire did, as well. And it continues to grow inside of her. When she was eleven years old, it was strong enough that when she lost control, she ended up destroying an entire apartment building. Now that she is an adult, the fire is incredibly strong within her, always licking at the edges of her control, and trying to get out. 

So she doesn't quite control the fire; instead, she just relaxes her control, and lets a little bit out when necessary, the fire usually exploding from her arms, eyes, and upper torso to fill the area around herself with flame.

If she concentrates, she can force the flame to leave her body in a controlled manner, from the eyes, perhaps, or the arm, and have mild control over how she uses it then. The longer she sustains a flame, however, the more chance she has of it raging out of her control.

Skills

FIREARMS

Part of the whole BPRD SHIELD skillset thing, Liz often spends some time on the range. Firearms are more reliable than releasing her fire and causing a situation, potentially, and Liz has trained extensively with sidearms, and rarely leaves home without a pistol on her person. Rifles and the like she has less experience with, but one step at a time.

OCCULT KNOWLEDGE

Part and parcel of working with the BPRD, Liz has access to occult libraries and experts, and the experience of monster hunting that can be so helpful in situations like this. And she knows of the existence of magic, but has never thought to learn anything like that - her own fire is bad enough, after all.

PHARMACY KNOWLEDGE

Liz has seen her fair share of the inside of mental hospitals, and researched many, many potential cures for her 'condition'. While not a pharmacist by any stretch of the imagination, Liz can identify pills and drugs by name, and has a general sense of what they do for someone.

RELIGIOUS KNOWLEDGE

One of the first things a young Liz tried when her fires started getting out of control was doubling down on Catholicism - studying the faith and prayer and many other things. She reads Latin, after all. And when Catholicism failed to help control her flame, she started looking into other religions, no matter how obscure. They ultimately ended up a dead end as well, but she still has the knowledge.

SELF DEFENSE

One good thing in Liz's life that the BPRD's relationship with SHIELD gives her is access to more stringent self-defense classes. Liz does 'okay' at it, although her style tends to devolve more into brawling when pressed. She knows how to take a punch and give a few kicks in return, so that's good.

SURVIVAL

Liz has been homeless a lot, when not bouncing between foster care, mental institutions and the BPRD. She has a sense of how to keep herself reasonably safe, fed, and clothed when money is rare, and one doesn't have housing.

Resources

BPRD

Occult libraries, friendly faces, cafeterias, fire-proof rooms, weird supernatural things - the BPRD has all of the toys and gadgets to make young witches and wizards excited. Or someone trying to kill the 47th Eye of the Old God, who is causing trouble down the way, you know.

SHIELD

SHIELD has a lot of stuff she has little interest in, like military weapons, gadgets, vehicles, uniforms (gag) and soldiers - but she prefers to try to use the BPRD side of things for resources before touching the SHIELD side.

Weaknesses

AUTHORITY

Authority, in Liz's life, never understood her, and always knew what was best for her. Even when they were fabulously, completely wrong, they continued to try to exert authority on her anyways. SHIELD itself, with the saluting, and yes sirs and no ma'ams is just the latest reflection of that, so she can sometimes butt heads with the paramilitary side of SHIELD. And heaven help her if BPRD folds into WAND.

NICOTINE

Liz is addicted to cigarettes. She realizes it's a nasty habit, but she started when she was young, and it hasn't quite left her yet. It's expensive, and in these modern societies, a bit shunned.

THE DEVIL'S FIRE

The fire within Liz - she can feel it growing stronger day by day. In spite of that, she has new techniques to help keep it at bay, and they are more successful than not. But it is extremely, extremely easy for her to lose control of the flames within her. Stress and overexertion can start bringing this out more - and the more she plays with the fire, the easier it is for it to come out.

WITHDRAWN

Liz has kinda learned that the easiest way to not kill your friends with a exploding fireball is not to make them in the first place. The BPRD - and those within it, have kinda gotten past her defenses, but she often tries to keep people at arm's length regardless.
