Biography

Ava Starr was born the daughter of Elihas Starr, a SHIELD researcher. After bieng fired and disgraced he tried to continue his quantum research on his own in her home country of Argentina but, lacking funding, the research became more and more dangerous until it resulted in a quantum event that killed her parents and left Ava afflicted with a quantum displacement effect called 'molecular displacement', phasing in and out of existence.

Citing their relationship with her father SHIELD took in the young Ava and trained her as an infiltrator, promising an eventual cure to her disease. That cure never came and as she got older the condition became worse, causing constant pain and difficulty controlling it. She was outfitted with a special suit and sent on assassination and espionage missions around the world.

Disillusioned with SHIELD's promises Ava is now focusing on using her talents to find a way to stay alive.

Character Details

Personality Brutal and efficient, Ghost is known for being cold and ruthless. She doesn't let much get in the way of her mission, and especially her own salvation. She feels she's owed something. What happened to her is a tragedy and she's willing to hurt whomever it takes both to accomplish her goals on behalf of SHIELD and to see herself cured. She mostly only has empathy for people she knows well, though there's an inkling of concern for others when her work permits her to do so. Abilities Molecular Disequilibrium Every cell in Ava's body is torn apart and stitched back together each and every day. She can literally displace herself on a quantum level, phasing effectively in and out of reality. This ability allows her to become either visible or intengible at will. lOne might say Ava uses this ability at will but it is more accurate to say it can be turned off at will. She has to concentrate to be able to touch things and it is often unreliable. This ability allows her to pass through any object. She can even reach inside of things and disrupt them molecularly (this is quite traumatic for machinery and people alike). Spec Ops Ava is a master assassin and stealth operative. She's highly skilled in stealth operations and possesses the various skills required of an infiltrator, such as security protocols, some scientific knowledge, and various athletics. Combat Ava is a master martial artist, having learned a large variety of military-oriented fighting styles. She's mastered an unconventional fighting style that takes full advantage of her unique power set. Ava has also been trained in the use of explosives and firearms. She is a competent operative. Ghost Suit Ava's ghost suit allows her to harness her power, switching in and out of tangibility and visibility at will. The suit also assists in accessing computer systems and electronics so they can be cracked. Computer Operations Ava is a competent computer hacker, specializing in bypassing system security. She can program and crack advanced systems. Enhanced Strength Ava can amplify her physical strength by using her phasing to lower her mass and increase her momentum just before striking. This allows her to kick people through walls or fling them across large rooms. Athletics Ava is extremely physical and skilled in gymnastics, track sports, climbing, and other physical pursuits. Advantages Shield Ava is a SHIELD Agent, noted for being both discrete and extremely competent. She is well-respected, if not always trusted. She has access to tools and resources as a result of this affiliation. Disadvantages & Flaws Destabilized Ava's powers are frequenty uncontrollable when she isn't wearing the ghost suit. She wll phase in and out of tangibility, experience headaches, nausea, etc. This continues to get worse without quantum energy treatments and when away from the suit too long. If left untreated for too long she could literally be shredded at the atomic level. Watched SHIELD has an eye on Ava. They know about her need for technology and scientific advancement and are expecting her to act out. She has to be careful her side activities to solve her affliction aren't noticed and it restricts what she can do when. Antisocial Ava shows all the signs of Antisocial Personality Disorder, which is often referred to as 'sociopathy'. She either doesn't care or understand what is right or wrong any longer. SHe prioritizes her own pain and survival over that of others. WHile she has some empathy it quickly vanishes as soon as it gets in the way of her goals. Ava is deceitful, arrogant, brash, and extremely opinionated with no regard for authority whatsoever. Violence is a common way of dealing with problems and she takes a lot of dangerous risks. She has ideals, but individual people don't matter to her unless she knows them well. Someday, Ava could be forced to form a connection but right now she's pretty distant from other people. RP Hooks
