Profile

Daughter of August Wu of the Coral Shore, the magical guardian of Hong Kong, and Detective Sergeant Adam Gulliver, Alice had a fairly normal childhood for a Hong Kong teen. Contrary to her mother's wishes, however, she set her sights on joining the police to follow in her father's foosteps rather than going into business like her grandmother as her mother desired. Tragedy struck the family when Alice was 16. Her mother, investigating the arrival of a demonic entity in Hong Kong, was killed by said entity. In her last act she passed her magical powers on to Alice who woke up from a nightmare with red hair instead of her former dark brown as the first sign of her mother's death. Alice continued in her goal of becoming a police officer, but incorporated her mother's magical role into her life as the magical guardian of Hong Kong, simplifying her mother's grandiloquent title down to The Wu. To keep her magic low-key and invisible, she doesn't use her magic directly. She instead imbues her weapons and equipment with charms, hexes, and spells invisible to normal eyes.

MAGIC As The Wu, the magical guardian of Hong Kong, Alice inherited the magical affinity of her mother. She has chosen, however, to go low-key with her magic and does not cast spells directly (although there is nothing stopping her from learning to if she needs it). Alice's magic consists instead of enchanting her weapons and other equipment with hexes and spells that are invisible to mortal eyes. This permits her to use, say, her handcuffs to make a violent suspect calm and docile when she activates them. Or it makes some of her bullets, say, tools to dispel demons possessing a target. She has a very large arsenal of such pre-enchanted tools and spends a large chunk of her time maintaining and expanding that.

PERCEPTION Alice has excellent sensory (and extrasensory) perceptive ability, an ability that serves her well as an investigator and enforcer in matters both mundane and magical.

PHYSIQUE

Alice is stronger than she looks, although by no means super-strong. She is also very agile and graceful, able to jump and dodge and generally move her body well.

Skills

OCCULT Alice has had to learn a lot about the world of the occult. What she doesn't immediately know about demons, ghosts, monsters, and magicians she knows where to look up. In her home she has a respectable library of mystical tomes, as well as a rather complete grimoire of charms and hexes she puts to practical use.

POLICEWORK

Alice is a trained police officer who excelled in the academy and in her detective training. She is adept at hand-to-hand combat and very adept with firearms. She has a decent grasp of street tactics and is a whiz at filling out paperwork at need. She is also a crime scene investigator without par.

CONTACTS Through her mother, Alice has some reputation in the mystical world and can, in case of extreme emergencies, call upon higher-calibre magical backup. Through her father she has connections up the Hong Kong police and via that some limited connections in various police forces in the USA as part of her "Asian Crimes" task force position.

INGREDIENTS Alice has in her apartment an old-school apothecary that would give practicing Wiccans a joygasm if they could have five minutes' access to it. Which they won't get because she needs the ingredients to make her tools

LIBRARY Alice is always looking out for and purchasing books of arcane lore to help her in her role of defending humanity from the demonic and monstrous.

MONEY

Monetarily Alice lives rather frugally because her library of occult lore and her magical ingredients for spells and hexes take a sizable chunk of her salary.

Weaknesses

Click to expand.

DETACHMENT Her mother's shocking death at the hands of a demon damaged Alice as a teen and that scar tissue remains. Yes, she views herself as a defender of humanity from threats both temporal and mystical, but ... she really doesn't feel herself as much of a part of humanity. She feels herself as belonging on the outside looking in, being part of things only insofar as it relates to her role.

SOCIAL ATTACHMENTS For someone who doesn't feel herself as part of humanity, it is actually amazing how many people she views as "family". There's not much of her literal family left: her grandmother (Madam Lan, a Hong Kong businesswoman close to retirement) and her grandmother is about all she has left. On the other hand, she forms unusually close attachments to people like her barber (actually her father's barber from Hong Kong, long since retired, but who still cuts her hair for old time's sake), the grocer she frequents most often, that guy at the newsstand around the corner, the poor drug addicted girl who lives downstairs that she helped out of a jam once, her partner, etc.

STUBBORN

Determined, yes. Stubborn, oh God yes. Alice is like a mule and will actively resist any attempt to force her into anything, even if it's good for her. "You really need to see a doctor." "Go away, I'm fine!" That level of stubbornness.
