BASIC INFORMATION

Name: Darlene Alderson

Canon: Mr. Robot

Age: 26

Bio: Darlene, a jaded disaffected Jersey girl, just wants to party at the end of the world. an accomplished hacker, writer of rootkits, phiser of men, Darlene has lived her life skimming from the haves and hating them for everything they have. she starts a hacktivist group with her big brother, Elliot, and they begin working to take down E Corp, a big ass conglomerate with fingers in ever pie. Darlene is ready to put it all on the line to cut the heads off this corporate hydra, for freedom, society, and the Alderson family.


impatient, pissed off, smart, good at things, Darlene operates by her own code. she is happy to take from the rich to benefit herself and the small circle of people that are important to her. she is not easily inspired, too jaded to believe in causes, but her loyalty to her brother and her desire for revenge lets her convolute her lack of morality into a warped quest for freedom. she has no time for useless sentimentality or the bonds of traditional societal-approved relationships. she has built up her defenses to protect herself, but when danger and panic seep in, she can spiral wildly out of control. once she is put on a track, she is relentless in her pursuits, and does not stop to consider the weight and cost of her actions until well after the building has been torched. on paper, anarchy suits Darlene fine.

SYMBIOTE INFORMATION

[ Rho ] - [ GO PHISH. ]
Darlene can insinuate herself with a person. She will first need to physically touch the person, skin-to-skin contact. After that first touch, she will no longer need physical contact to enact her ability.

The initial effect of the ability will be just enough to incline the target to trust her. The target will be inclined to divulge semi-sensitive information to Darlene if asked, and to comply with small suggestions or instructions, as long as she phrases her suggestions sweetly.

- Suggestions or questions that endanger the well being of a target's loved ones (family and/or close friends) will have only a 10% chance of success. Questions that endanger the sensitive information of a target's loved ones will have a 25% chance of success.
- Suggestions or questions that endanger either the well being and/or information of a group that a target knows personally but has no special connection to (work friends, church friends, acquaintances, et cetera) will both have a 50% success rate.
- Suggestions that endanger either the well being and/or information of a group of people who are relative strangers to a target will both have a 70% success rate.

For the first stage, Darlene's sway will be effective for a maximum of one hour per target up to 3 targets. Attempting to go past that hour mark will render her temporarily unconscious.

If she is careful to limit herself to an hour, then the effort of exercising this ability won't be visited on Darlene until after she has released her target. However, the severity of the blowback from the use of her ability will be dependent on the length of time she uses the ability. Ten minutes of control over one target will be mild; a full hour of control over three targets will be more severe. Once she's released her targets, she'll feel the range of these effects similar to getting a bad bout of the flu: nausea, fever, chills. She'll recover after 24 hours.

BROOD PERMISSIONS
Darlene's mind will be guarded and tense, buried behind a series of protective firewalls. her general projection will be that tension, her anger, her impatience, her militant desire to be chill, and her assumption of superiority--she is more woke than you, at least to the perils and punishments that capitalist societies visit on poor fucks. her walls are not as firm as they may first appear, and spikes of anxiety or anger will temporarily raze them to the ground, exposing Darlene's inner mental workings: messy, angry, damaged, anxious, animal hurt, gritty determination, revenge fantasies, fizzing sparks, loose wires, quick jerry-rigged fixes that cover deep flaws. she loves her brother, who is here, and also a mess. she loves her dead father. she hates her psychotic mother. she could kill. she would be, eventually, sorry about it. she hates modern society. she loves instagram and slasher movies. she knows ballet. she's a hacktivist out of convenience and hacker for survival.

NEST PERMISSIONS
similar to the impression she gives her brood, Darlene's mind will be guarded and tense, buried behind a series of protective firewalls. these firewalls will be amped up to keep out as many people as possible. her general projection will be her tension, her anger, her impatience, her militant desire to be chill, and her assumption of superiority--she is more woke than you, at least to the perils and punishments that capitalist societies visit on poor fucks. her walls are not as firm as they may first appear, and spikes of anxiety or anger will temporarily drop them, exposing Darlene's inner mental workings:. it will be like opening a furnace and getting a blast of heat to the face, enough to singe your eyebrows.

MENTAL LINK
anger. impatience. revenge. wet pavement in the suburbs. cigarettes. vinyal couches. muffled club music in another room. putting on lipstick after a panic attack. code. passwords. secrets. a backpack with all of your shit in it. new york late at night, a thousand different restaurants and voices and languages and cultures and styles and moods, construction, garbage, a little bit of piss, a little bit of the wind that follows a subway car when it leaves the station. self medication. bus tickets. train tickets. the new york skyline as viewed from jersey. ferris wheels. getting trashed. staying out all night. red eyes. pink bedroom. a mask. the sound of an overworked computer processor. watching a movie with your brother. lighter fluid on your fingers. bathroom hookups. stale popcorn. shag carpet in a basement. stretching out your feet in a ballet studio with your reflection all around you. fuck society. nail files. hiding behind a tree. computer files. nice carpet under your knees. being crushed to death. fighting to breathe. expensive perfume. jealousy. hiding in a closet and listening hard. we are in a war.

PERMISSIONS

Physical Affection: yes, especially with no strings attached
Physical Violence: yes, with discussion
Romance/Relationships: casual hookups only
Thread-jacking: yes
Back-tagging: yes please
Fourth-walling: no please
Offensive Subjects/Triggers: I'm ok with most anything in context.
Anything Else? Darlene had a rough childhood which she might mention casually. she casually uses offensive language including some stuff that could be interpreted as slurs (the c-word, derogatory use of the p-word to describe weakness, refers to a lesbian relationship as "muff diving", etc.). if there is stuff that offends you I am happy to write around it, just let me know!
