Blue Fischer Character in Eldritch Earth | World Anvil

Blue Fischer

She's got this superpower and the superpower is called being incredibly boring.   You're not gonna believe this: one of her little shorts actually got some kind of online award for its editing, and Blue sure is proud of that. She's got a lot of things to be proud of, when you think about it (like the teeth lining her throat). She's not as stupid as she acts. Blue's history with the rest of her crew goes back pretty far, and she remembers Lisa's death like it was yesterday. She remembers it that way because it was, to her.   Iosefka does editing too, but Blue's doing sound at the same time. Her work tends to be a bit more instinctual and less focused on theory, and the big bass-shaking sequences are the sort of thing that Iosefka and Blue have to work on together. But Blue likes to have fun, and fun involves making the windows shake with (screaming. do you hear it?) wild thrumming notes. Life's a joy, you know.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Tall, with spindly arms and kind of gawky elbows. She's got the kind of physique that would get her cast in a movie as, like, the main character's stoner best friend or the loser down the block.

Body Features

Lots of freckles, for one, but Blue also sweats pretty easily and she tends to pant breaths in and out when she gets real stressed. Just awkward little things.

Identifying Characteristics

Blue's actually not... really got any identifying features, which is both blessing and curse. Can't pick a fight with her if you can't pick her out of a crowd, but at the same time, she's not going to really catch anyone's eye. Slip right under the radar, right (don't forget: she's got Wayfair copyright on her DNA) which is kind of a pain. But Blue deals with it, even though she never gets free drinks at a bar.

Physical quirks

For someone as gangly as she is, Blue actually has a really smooth stride? She moves with purpose! It's a little weird at first, if I'm being honest with you.

Special abilities

She's totally normal, I don't know what you're expecting to see here.   So, anyway, there's not much about her other than her ability to flip quarters and catch them right out of the air, or do a cartwheel. She's pretty proud of the cartwheels.   The thing about Blue is that she doesn't know she's a werewolf, and she doesn't know she's super strong. Doesn't know about the speed, the durability, any of it. Sometimes her skin itches, but the shape change always brings on the deliberately-designed amnesia. So sure, she's got special abilities, but if she's ever using them, someone's about to die and die real, real bad.

Apparel & Accessories

Oversized tee shirts, sweatpants, jeans, all that sort of thing. Talkin' about big shoes that thunk when she walks, talkin about dumb shirts with skeletons on them, patches on a denim jacket.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Blue's had a pretty normal life (except for, you know, the one big abnormality) all things considered: decent parents, decent home life (a little bit of yelling but what's new), decent grades. She can play instruments pretty well but there's not really anything about her that's stand out. Maybe that's been her superpower all her life. Blending in. Going unnoticed. It's a boon in this crazy world, right?   She's a killer. Not that she knows it. She's been a killer for years now. What a joke, huh? Imagine getting murked by this loser.   In high school, Blue was the sort of girl who other girls tended to heckle because they could get away with it. Blue remembers being mad about it, then, but now she's mostly impassive and over it.

Sexuality

Gay as the day is long, my good friend.

Education

High school graduate, and proud of it! Attended two semesters of community college before her semi-constant exhaustion became too hard to manage and she took that college year as a personal win.

Employment

Works as a video and audio editor for the Cryptid Hunters Society. CHS has her covered and she really digs the work, plus it's never bad to be working with your buddies.   When she's not with CHS, she's delivering pizzas, and making decent tip money. Sometimes she gets a hit on Wirre, a "free market" skill shop sort of setup, and then she edits someone's video essay for a decent paycheck, which means then she can get a six pack of Coors.   What Blue doesn't know is that she's doing more than hunt cryptids and scribbling songs on napkins to perform at open mic night. She's been seeing a particular doctor for years, right? Nothing wrong with that. But that doctor, and this is important, is working for Wayfair, and Wayfair's been doing all sorts of illegal experiments on people. Blue had the perfect psychological profile for a particularly nefarious test.   It worked! Would you believe it?   So Blue's regular checkups are actually checkups that keep her firmly... well, in check. There's a code phrase she hears sometimes, and it blanks her memory. She doesn't even know she can change shapes! How wild is that! Girl has no idea she's a werewolf, technically!   But, right, right, she's -- well, the doctor or someone else with access to her tells Blue a particular phrase and Blue just, uh, well, she forgets! And also she hunts that target down and rips 'em apart, so it's good she forgets, actually. That's a mercy.

Accomplishments & Achievements

She can play Through The Fire And The Flames on Expert, would you believe it? She's got that magic finger speed. Yeah, it's okay to be jealous.

Failures & Embarrassments

Just because the rumor mill says she bumped noses while trying to kiss Charlene Ferris doesn't mean she actually did, why do you guys keep talking about it!

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

Blue's pretty motivated by like. Music. And ... uh, chicks?

Virtues & Personality perks

She's actually pretty brave, all things considered. Blue's not much to look at, but she's got a courageous streak that runs miles deep and really, that says more about her than anything else.   Bone loyal. Touch her pack and she'll kill you. She'll rip out your throat as if unzipping a ziploc baggie. All at once. One long, singular pull, the undoing of your jugular, the spasm of your flesh as it's popped open with a jerk of the snout. So don't mess with the pack. Don't.
