PHYSICAL PROFILE HEIGHT: 5’5” WEIGHT: 118 lbs EYES: Amber HAIR: Black CLASSIFICATION: Human UNUSUAL FEATURES: None
BEHAVIOR PROFILE - Action Junkie: Iris loves dramatic entrances and exciting fight sequences, so much that she’s willing to put on a good show for her own entertainment. Even if it means that being a little flashy puts her in a whole lot of danger, Iris considers the consequences to be too small to be a real threat. Her entire costume is designed to give a rather dramatic effect and she easily translates this mentality to her personal dialogue, fighting style and even her everyday interactions. Iris lives for action and in a way gets an adrenaline high. The more exciting the fight is, the bigger the explosion, the more satisfied Iris is and considers this all in a good day’s work.
- Self - Reliant: Having lived most of her life on her own, Iris is extremely independent and believes that there is no one else who can do a job better than she. She is quick to take on missions on her own and is willing to drop “extra weight” if she believes (without a doubt) that she can do a better job without anyone’s help. Her self reliance also makes her very wary of individuals and she finds it very hard to trust anyone. Her independence makes her push people out when she thinks they are getting to close and if she feels as if they are a major threat she’s willing to sever bonds completely to retain the sanctity of her personal privacy. Iris has a very “can-do” attitude and her constant need to be independent makes her highly confident in her own personal abilities.
- Passionate: Life has thrown Iris in many twists and turns, because of this she is extremely grateful for everything that she has experienced and for the very life that she breathed into her. While not religious, Irish retains some level of spiritualism and this makes her extremely passionate about her personal well-being. She takes her work very seriously and does everything in her power to ensure it is carried through without so much as a minor flaw. Her passion motivates her to reach out for perfection and because of this she has an unwavering will to live. This will is so frightening that her own well-being easily overrides anyone else around her.
- Calculating: Trained to think outside of the box and to assess many different kinds of situations, Iris is a very well thought out thinker. Her ideas and plans are never without cause and she works arduously to ensure that every piece of the puzzle is fit neatly into place. Lynx thinks things through, a necessary trait needed for the right hand wo-man of the King Snake and for a secret operative who is expected to take down a powerful global gang.
- Moral Compass: It’s hard to say where exactly Lynx stands in the grand scheme of things. While she works for the Hong Kong police, it is unclear whether or not she was given clear orders to go so far as to harm civilians or if she does that based on her own decisions. Lynx is willing to harm and kill anyone who stands in her way, gang members, innocents and heroes alike. Conversely, she is also working to destroy the most powerful, ruthless and criminal dangerous gang that has existed to ensure that their reign of terror that proceed far into the future. She teeter-totters on the sides of good and evil and simply utilizes that rationale that everything and anything must be done for the sake of her mission.
- All Business: At the end of the day, behind the batted eye lashes, and clever quips, Iris is a no nonsense, super serious – woman on a mission. Depending on what side you’re looking in from, Iris is either trying to expand Golden Dragon territory or is on a never-ending mission to ensure that the Golden Dragon’s fail. She has no other reason in her life but to do her job and because of this there are no other sides of her outside of her work.
DOCUMENTED HISTORY Iris was (at the time) the only known daughter of a very poor urban Chinese family. She was a subtle disappointment since she opened her eyes to the world and the couple discovered they had birthed a baby girl. Despite their short comings, they proceeded to raise their only child and prepared her with the intent to handle farm work and hoped that she would someday be good enough to wed off to a rich family. Four years later, after a relatively normal upbringing Iris noticed her mother’s swelling stomach and learned that she had a sibling on the way.
Excited, she picked up the extra work that her mother was unable to do and nine months later her sibling was born and it was a boy. Unbeknownst to Iris, her parents could only afford to raise one child at the time and despite their relationship with their first child they recognized the value of their newborn son.
On the birth of her younger brother Iris was given away to a widowed woman in her province who took her in as her own. Iris’ life moved on and despite the heartbreak and confusion, the kindness of her surrogate mother was enough for Iris to move on and accept her new mother. After some time, when Iris was six years old, the pair managed to make it to Hong Kong to start a new life. Their new life ended rather abruptly after two years when Iris’ mother died of illness and the young girl was left to fend for herself.
A young child at the time, Iris understood no means of tending to herself. Now an orphan and street ratshe was forced to turn to petty thievery in order to survive. Stealing food, clothes and money became a way of life and the streets were the only home that she knew.
Her work was picked up quite quickly and one day while trying to steal from a butcher she was caught red handed by the store owner. As a means of punishment, the butcher intended to cut off Iris’ hands, but she was saved by the Hong Kong police who considered her too young for punishment and instead sent her to an orphanage where she was forced into child labor at clothing sweatshops.
Hating her new life of oppression, Iris began to make a habit out of trying to escape her life at the orphanage, this usually ended up in her apprehension by the police and she was sent back to the orphanage where she would receive severe beatings for her disobedience. Despite her setbacks, Iris was determined to find herself a new way of life and so she continued.
Iris’ activities didn’t go unnoticed, the Hong Kong police were continuously apprehending her, holding her in juvenile jail until she was claimed and essentially dealt with her on a daily basis. In a way, they ended up sticking in their minds.
When Iris was thirteen the Hong Kong Police were looking to create a secret set of new operatives to undertake covert missions and objectives. The training would have to be started at a young age for the candidates to prime them to be the perfect agent, Iris ended up being one of the lucky candidates for the program as the Hong Kong police considered her resourcefulness, natural talent and raw determination an important part of their envisioned force. She was drafted and immediately forced into the program. From the age of fourteen, Iris was expected to a be a miniature “super soldier” of sorts.
Her training and education were all challenging, but opportunities such as the Hong Kong Special Forces program would have never landed on her doorstep if she continued her peasant life in a small province in China. Iris was grateful for this faithful turn of events in her life and she embraced the new challenges that she was faced with. Her raw talent and determination allotted her the top of her training and her classes and at the age of seventeen it was decided she was ready to embark on her first mission.
The Golden Dragons had retained a stronghold second to the Triad in China for some years now. Iris was expected to infiltrate the gang and take them down from the inside out. The expectations placed upon her was surpassed as she gained a second hand position to King Snake, the leader of the Golden Dragons and she even went forward to adopt a ruling alter ego, the Lynx.
She worked hard for two years and was close to weakening a part of the Golden Dragons. When she was nineteen this all changed when she was suddenly reassigned and was informed that the Golden Dragons had established a presence in the States. Through some cunning and persuasive work, Lynx was able to win King Snake’s trust and was quickly sent over to Gotham City to handle the amateur sub gangs of the Golden Dragons. Once in Gotham she was able to quickly establish herself as a ruling party and lead the Golden Dragons to massive expansion throughout the city.
It was during this time that Batman had disappeared and Tim Drake, aka Red Robin had come into contact with Lynx. He went so far as apprehending the young woman and without much options, Lynx was forced to reveal that she was a covert spy. Unsure of whether or not he believed her, Iris went on her gut instinct and a few days later found herself being freed from prison by her new potential lover, Tim Drake.
She currently continues her mission in finding the best way to take down the Golden Dragon’s continuing reign of power throughout America.
POWERS AND ABILITIES KNOWN POWERS: None KNOWN ABILITIES: - Master Swordsman: As part of her training with the Hong Kong special police forces, Iris adopted the blade as her primary weapon of choice. Her training has made her extremely lethal and to the point of near mastery over the tool.
- Tactician: Iris’ line of work and sense of responsibility has left her with an ingrained need for strategy. Everything she does is not without cause and is quite simply a framework mapped out to reach a preplanned goal. Iris does not walk into a situation blind and if she is ever caught off guard she is quick to ensure the game plan somewhat goes her way. She’s a big thinker in and out of hairy situations and it’s an important skill – especially when she’s trying to take down the biggest gang in history.
• - Acrobatic: Iris was born with an exceptionally fluid body that makes her almost cat-like in movements that range from simple to complex and daring. Her added training during her youth has only enhanced her personal mastery over her own movements and equilibrium. Training in a variety of martial arts styles has given her an incredible sense of balance and coordination, as well as a body toned to keep up with the demands she puts on it. This skill allows her to leap, climb, flip, slide, or otherwise move in or out of combat. It makes her a difficult target to hit, but also allows her to do things like jump from building to building, rappel up or down walls, swing by a wire, tightrope walk, and similar feats of athletics. In addition to her martial arts training growing up, Iris knows how to tumble, somersault, cartwheel, and flip. More importantly, she knows how to fall properly and how to roll with an impact. She's good enough she can lessen just about any strike and recover from long jumps or falls very rapidly. She's even mastered the art of the instant stand, allowing her to quickly regain her feet should she fall.
• - Expert Martial Artist: Most of Iris’s youth was devoted to martial arts. It was easier for her to lose herself in practice rather than deal with people. She is perhaps the most skilled agent raised at the orphanage ever. Her style is loose and easily adaptable. It engages in flexibility and avoids rigid rules. Besides strikes or kicks, she knows a variety of throws, locks, blocks, breaks, trips, and escapes. The fluidity with which she switches between moves make her a difficult foe to predict, as she normally adjusts to her opponents style with whatever maneuvers she believes to be most effective when facing them. However, she shows a definite preference for the more aggressive and efficient styles, designed to do damage rather than dodge, block, or redirect attacks.
- Bilingual: Naturally, Iris’ mother language is Chinese, Cantonese to be exact and she is well versed in her native tongue. As part of her training she also learned English to help her better assimilate into the West when she would finally embark on her journey. Her English certainly isn’t world class, but it’s good enough for her to communicate with the lowly street thugs and other “businessmen” to go about specific transactions.
- Acting: Iris’ whole being is essentially a big lie and that’s exactly what makes her the greatest actress on either side of the playing field. No one knows her true agenda, her true motives or even her true moral compass. And that’s only because she is so good at putting up a façade that it’s tough to stay on her trail. Iris only shows people what she wants them to see, she acts the way that they would expect from her, but in the end no one really knows who really is under that Lynx mask.
STRENGTH LEVEL: Iris has above average strength for a young woman her height and weight who routinely partakes in rigorous exercises. WEAKNESSES:- Human: Iris is 100% human, that means that she is susceptible to being shot, stabbed, bludgeoned, killed, gassed and subjected to any other terrible acts against mortality.
- Appearances to Keep Up: Due to the sensitivity of the kind of work she is orchestrating, Lynx must live her entire life and motives in complete secrecy. She cannot have anyone know that she is a secret operative bent on taking down the Golden Dragons. If even the tiniest thing slips then Lynx’s entire mission could be sacrificed and she would face serious consequences at the hands of King Snake. It’s a stressful part of her life, but Lynx must constantly be reminded that her entire being involves the constant walking on glass to ensure her very existence.
- Red Robin: Tim Drake, the former boy wonder managed
PARAPHERNALIA EQUIPMENT:- Bladed Weapons: Lynx has adorned her costume with various bladed weapons that range from: twin 11” Nihontos (strapped across her back), twin curved daggers (strapped to outer thighs), various shuriken (utility pouch on waist), golden throwing knives (strapped around her arm), bladed heels (last resort weapons, hidden within her heels)
- Claws: The tips of Lynx’s gloves are specialized reinforced and sharpened to mimic a pair of claw like hands. They are sharp enough to cut through flesh and break through weak material. They cannot cut through metal or reinforced glass.
- Grappling Hook: A standard grappling hook is available for Lynx to allow her to move along the rooftops of Gotham City. It is utilizes a simple hand-gun mechanism to release a line with a claw at the end and requires the user to ensure support and stability before use.
- Smoke Bombs: Smoke bombs are stored in Lynx’s utility belt and aid in escapes, grand entrances or for distracting her opponent.
- Lynx Mask: The Lynx mask is a fine display of craftsmen ship and artistic talent. Handcrafted by an unnamed artist in China, the mask has a metal wire frame and is a mixture of a light weight carbon fiber and heavy duty polymers. It is equipped with a built in rebreather in the case of a smoke attack and the eyes have built in lenses to protect the wearer from any assaults on their vision. It is custom fit for Lynx and has been molded specifically for Iris’ face.
