Clive Barkers Jericho Squad file - Lt. Black

The Jericho squad is a seven-man strike force for the U.S. Department of Occult Warfare, sent into the Middle Eastern city of Al-Khali to investigate an intense level of paranormal activity. Throughout the game, players will be able to play as, and switch between, the members of the squad, each of them skilled in modern warfare and individual para-psychological disciplines, such as telekinesis, blood magic, exorcism and more.

LT. ABIGAIL BLACK 'telekinetic'

HISTORY

Abigail Black was raised in Fairbanks, Alaska, the only child of an avid hunter that desperately wanted a son but got a tomboy instead. Her mother died from complications of Abigail Black's caesarean birth. The pressures of poverty, single parenthood and worsening alcoholism led Black's father to physically abuse her for most of her life. He noticed that strange phenomena (e.g. windows spontaneously breaking, flying objects) followed their worst fights, which convinced the deeply superstitious man that his daughter was possessed. During a particularly violent encounter, he attempted to 'exorcise' her with a hot iron, which left her permanently scarred and him with a paralytic stroke. Black escaped her harrowing upbringing by joining the Army at the earliest possible age. Her skills with a rifle earned her an instructing position at Fort Benning's renowned sniper school. Black excelled in the Army, breaking records for her marksmanship whilst she thrived on the discipline and order within the ranks.

SPECIALITY TELEKINETIC LT. ABIGAIL BLACK Telekinetic

RECRUITMENT:

Put simply, Abigail Black's marksmanship was unprecedented. Her perfect record brought her to the attention of the DOW who brought her in to undergo testing at DOW facilities, where it was confirmed that her extraordinary skills with the sniper were enhanced by telekinetic powers. She was immediately transferred to a Jericho squad.

OCCULT RESOURCES:

Lt. Black can telekinetically move an object ranging in size from a stationary tank to a moving bullet so long as she has line of sight to her target. As a result, she can steer her shots mid-flight, even striking multiple targets with a single projectile. This makes her an extraordinarily powerful asset. However, the greater the force she exerts, the weaker she becomes. The ability physically drains her health causing bleeding from the ears, nose and mouth in extreme cases.

COMBAT RESOURCES:

Black is the top rated sniper in the US army, thanks in great part to her telekinetic ability to steer multiple rounds in flight. She carries a highly modified and personally customized sniper weapon. To enhance her control it plugs directly into her nervous system via an NDI (Neurological Data Interface). Black's rifle has been further modified to include an under-barrel grenade launcher.

PRIMARY WEAPON:7.62mm Custom FLASH THOUGHT Semi- Auto- Sniper- System

SECONDARY WEAPON:Custom 40mm under-barrel grenade launcher
