ESPer Identification Card

Full Name: Tessa Lee
Aliases: Tess, Tesla
Gender: Female
Age/Birthday: Is 67, looks mid 30's
Sexual Orientation: Bisexual
Job Title: Hitman, Monster Hunter
Otherworld Affiliation: Earth/Nightmare Realm
Species: Damn, don't I wish I knew
Physical Appearance: The last three years have changed Tessa. Where once she was a young 5'6", never-at-rest bundle of energy and ill-veiled psychosis, she now strikes a much different impression.

Now standing a striking 5'11", Tessa carries herself strongly and aggressively, having abandoned her old tendency to act without thought for the sheet pleasure of it. Her blonde hair has grown down just below shoulder length and is tied behind her in a tight, clean ponytail. She dresses professionally in Expensive suits, embellished with not-overly-gaudy jewelry when not working in the field.

Some things have not changed, though. While dark memories often leave her without the once-omnipresent smile, she still never seems to stop moving, though now she paces around her environment as opposed to bouncing in place. She has likewise retained her fondness for being in high places and being unseen - a trait that lends itself well to her current profession.

Beyond that, the only distinguishing feature about her is a long, slightly glowing golden scar that goes around her entire torso from left shoulder to right hip.

Personality: Tessa has grown mentally in pace with her physical appearance. While she has not fully lost all of who she was, she approaches her existence with a much more serious outlook. She has adopted a ruthless streak when it comes to the matters of the hunt, bringing down her prey with a singular drive. She no longer causes mayhem and confusion for the sake of simple entertainment, nor does she recklessly seek thrills for the sake of adrenaline. However, she is still Tessa, and when her newly-established professionalism drops many of her old qualities shine through.

History: Tessa grew up in Texas, where here father owned a well-off cattle ranch. She was spoiled rotten as a child, and was permitted to do just about anything she wanted to. She became a party girl, and quickly got into drugs and alcohol. She almost died several times as she became more and more addicted to thrills. She got into street racing, and grew more and more careless with her driving as time went by.

And then, when she was twenty, she got caught by a monster from Hell. She never knew, nor did she really care, who the Wight once was. All she knew was that suddenly she woke up, and she wasn't quite human anymore. In contrast to what many would have expected, the loss of her family and humanity drove her into a self-destructive depression, leading her to wander aimlessly through the American south, often leaving soulless husks in her wake.

Then she met Taraan Reeves, a necromancer who manipulated her into believing she had a purpose. He indoctrinated her fully with his honeyed words, and in turn she devoted her entire existence to serving him and his goals. She returned to life on the razor's edge, with her new thrills being murder and mayhem. She became the necromancer's assassin and enforcer, bloodily removing anyone who got in his way. This brought her eventually to the ESPers office in the Twin Cities, where Taraan had established himself to accomplish his dark goals.

Then the battle with the Fallen, Japocazold, happened, and everything about her unliving reality changed. In that battle she was prepared to give her life to ensure victory over Taraan's nemesis, but instead he paradoxically gave his life to keep her alive. In the moment the Aeon, Basil Ford, struck Japocazold down the elf threw all of his life essence into her, and she absorbed all of it... and perhaps even more as the explosion of soul energy released from the Aeon's blow annihilated Japocazold entirely. In the end, Tessa was alive - but forever changed.

Without Taraan, who had been her guiding force for upwards of three decades, Tessa was aimless. After a few weeks she left the ESPers, wandering out into the "wilderness" of the world, seeking answers. Sadly, she found little save that her case was utterly unique. Never before had a wraith been returned a semblance of a soul. Stranger still, she had absorbed much of Taraan's considerable magical power, but lacked the knowledge to control it. Her appearance changed rapidly and uncontrollably, aging her a decade over the course of less than a month.

She finally found a manner of direction when she happened upon a Wight rampage in Kentucky. Instinctively, she threw herself into the fray, drawing upon her incredible skills in battle to bring the monstrosity down. After that, she established herself as a mercenary monster-killer. She killed any mindless killing machines she heard of, and became a point of contact for individuals throughout the country who needed help killing more intelligent creatures that had escaped the notice of the ESPers. She also gave her services to hunting down mortal criminals who took hurt, killed and controlled people for pleasure and profit. When not on the job, she often drowned her confusion regarding who and what she was in the bottom of a glass.

In the end, however good she was at her job (and she is exceptional at it) after a few years she once again felt the nagging call of a greater purpose. Not fully knowing why, she returned to the one place she swore she would never return to - the Twin Cities. The place where it all began.

Now seeking answers to her nature and her destiny, Tessa has made subtle ripples in the supernatural community of the Cities. Just enough to catch the attention of the ESPers without causing any undue panic. She doesn't know just what they'll do with/to her when they find out that she has returned, but she will do what she needs to in order to get the answers she so desperately craves.
