Personal information and social status
Name: Alicia Zou Ferris (Note: her middle name is her original surname before being adopted.)
Theme: Red Sun(Maniac Agenda Mix)- Jamie Christopherson
Race: Human
Age: 28
Gender: Female
Appearance: link
Alicia has an incredibly muscular physique, lacking any kind of body fat whatsoever in her build due to her tendency to focus her natural aggression through exercise or extreme physical training. Her clothes are loose enough that without actually seeing her undressed or touching her, she simply looks like a slender young woman, appearing much weaker than she actually is. She also has a few scars across her body, one of note being a six inch long gash across the upper left side of her abdomen.
Personality: Alicia tends to be rather loud and brash, never letting her opinions be unheard if the matter is considered important to her. This is linked to her most evident personality trait, her aggressive attitude. She is impulsive, and acts from her heart rather than her head, and god help you if she's looking for a fight. Alicia loves to fight, sparring, to the death, it honestly doesn't matter. She craves the rush of cheating death and snatching victory from the hands of her opponents, to the point that she and Lance often settle their arguments with a fist fight, only to be laughing hysterically at their antics after several bruises or a couple of cracked ribs.
However, she is by no means stupid, Alicia is very smart, capable of easily picking up on details and remembering them at a moments notice, this makes her very good at navigating or at scouting, as only a few moments' glance is enough to give her a good grasp on a situation.
Despite her bullheadedness and almost violent moods, Alicia hides a softer side, she is incredibly devoted to her friends and loved ones, and constantly questions her ability to help them, almost to the point of self loathing if she makes a mistake. This is especially evident in Lance, whom she's had an odd crush/familial love for for a few years. She has no idea how to feel about him, often swinging wildly between being noticeably possessive and overprotective, to acting like a stereotypical best friend, hanging off of his shoulder and joking around. This behavior is not lost on her, and is a source of great embarrassment and anxiety to her.

History: Alicia Ferris was born Alicia Zou in southern California during the late 1980's. Her birth mother was a Chinese immigrant who was originally from the city of Beijing before emigrating to the US in 1970, while her birth father was a US born man of Irish decent. Not much is known of Alicia's early years with her parents, all that IS known is that her parents were both heavily involved in drug trafficking and other criminal activities, such as prostitution and extortion.
Alicia's first 3 years were spent in the company of criminals of all types, thieves, drug dealers and even killers and with her parents almost constantly under the influence of several different substances. Her life was one of neglect and loneliness, and when her parents were finally caught and convicted, it was ironically enough, a stark improvement.
Alice spent 5 years in foster care, moving from house to house and adapting rather well to her situation until finally, she was adopted by Ralph and Melissa Ferris. The Ferris' were could not have been any more different from Alicia's birth family. Ralph was a Gunnery Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps, and had earned a Purple Heart and Bronze Star for gallantry in the Vietnam War, while Melissa was, of all things, the manager of a biker bar in the town where Alicia grew up.
And it was in this environment, surrounded by grizzled veterans, motorcycle club members and other people for whom scraps, fights and foul language were ways of giving a friendly greeting, that Alicia discovered something. She liked to fight, she LOVED to fight. Alicia quickly gained a reputation among the other children in her hometown. She was the girl with the pretty face who could out fight a boy twice her size and a few years older than her, she was the kid who would wail on someone for picking on a younger child, and then take the younger child to her house where her father would greet her with a smile and a snack for her new friend.
But, as Alicia aged, so did her propensity for violence, while she would NEVER lash out physically at a friend, loved one, or even someone helpless, her temper would steadily grow more and more volatile, being happy one minute only to spit curses and take swings at the source of her ire the next, and then swinging right back to being happy again. Ralph, having had a similar problem in his younger years, enrolled Alicia in several programs that he hoped would help her channel her anger.
Boxing, Karate, workout courses, anything and everything that would help Alicia find her focus and burn through her seemingly bottomless supply of pent up aggression and energy. Alicia, went from being a skinny, but feisty young woman, to a powerful fighter who's physique drew as many eyes as her more feminine features did. But, it was not enough, and so, when she graduated from High School, Alicia elected to join the United States Air Force to become a pilot.
Basic training was hellish for Alicia, her naturally combative attitude made her prone to snapping at superiors, and more than once she'd been written up and had even been threatened with a dishonorable discharge for insubordination because of her behavior. It was then that she met a kindred spirit in a young recruit named Lance Devereaux.
Lance was very much like Alicia at the time, young, full of spirit and with a history of disciplinary action due to his behavior, mostly due to being a smart ass as opposed to being out and out combative. The pair almost instantly hit it off, with Lance acting as Alicia's emotional control while Alicia played the part of Lance's conscience, often times stopping him from being stupidly reckless while he kept her under control. The pair were almost inseparable, and had developed not only a strong friendship, but an incredible amount of coordination with one another, something that led to them being made into wing mates when Lance and Alicia made it through training.
Over the next several years, Lance and Alice would serve in several tours in the middle east, often acting as long range reconnaissance or as close air support for counter terrorism actions in the area. The pair were eventually separated, as Lance had been folded into a wing for testing experimental aircraft, while Alicia was stationed in Ramstien Air Base in Germany.
It was there that Alicia met Aria, after having thought that Lance had died in a test flight accident, and learned of the world of Terra Mystica. It was also there that she agreed to forgo her life in the human world in order to be reunited with Lance once again. The rest, as they say, is history...
Combat potential
Weapons: Heavy Machete: Alicia possesses only one weapon, A sturdy, 24 inch long flat topped Machete. The Machete is a fair bit thicker than a normal blade, and weighs a good 20 pounds. This added weight means that the blade hits significantly harder than a normal machete, as well as giving it a greater ability to breach armor.
Armor: Enchanted Cloth Armor: Alicia wears a light, durable cloth outfit that has been enchanted to provide the same amount of defensive strength as a set of medium leather armor. The clothing itself is also treated to be waterproof and rot resistant, making it very resilient to the elements while still being relatively light and flexible enough to allow for acrobatic maneuvers. The full set of clothing weighs about 5 pounds.
Enchanted weapons/accessories:
Weaknesses: Rash Temperament: Alicia is, for lack of a better word, A hot-head. If something sets her off, she is more than likely going to say or do something that could complicate matters or even put her and others in danger.
Berserker: Alicia is prone to Berserker Rages when her emotions are pushed far enough. This is beyond her normal rash behavior, if Alicia enters a berserk state, she suffers from what she refers to as "Red outs". This means that she is incapable (or unwilling) to stop a fight until any opponent before her is reduced to a broken body or stain on the ground.
Magical potential
Special/Racial Abilities: Berserker Strength: (NOTE: This ability is as of right now, UNUSABLE! I am merely placing it here now so I can have set rules for it beforehand.) Alicia possesses an innate ability that is linked to her Berserker Red-Outs, the Berserker's Strength. Unlike most strength enhancements, which are either the result of spells or potions, A Berserker's ability to increase their strength is hereditary. A Berserker can augment their strength naturally, channeling mana through their muscles and organs to increase their durability and strength to superhuman heights when their emotions flare high enough.
Skilled Berserkers are capable of controlling this power, but Alicia, who is not only untrained, but UNAWARE of her heritage, cannot. This means that whenever she enters a Rage, she loses sight of her goals, and if her strength is triggered, her becomes lost in bloodlust and her craving to fight. This ability increases Alicia's physical strength by four times, but renders her unable to control her urge to fight, making her dangerously unpredictable until she's snapped out of her bloodlust fueled haze.
Magical Affinity: Arcane
Spells Known (09/35sP): Arcane-Stone Skin(3sP): Alicia is able to channel mana through her skin, toughening it and granting her a temporary boost in defense that raises her resistance against physical attacks by 15% for a period of 3 turns. This spell, despite the name, DOES NOT turn her skin to actual stone. It is simply a name given for it's potent defensive power.
Arcane-Mage Burn(3sP): Alicia has been taught how to create an arcane "flame" out of mana by Aria, but, instead of just holding a ball of 'fire' in her hand, Alicia has devised a way to channel the spell through her weapons or fists. Creating not only a source of light and heat, but a potent buff to her attacks, this spell boosts the attack power of Alicia's physical strikes by 10%, and causes her hits to "burn" her opponents, causing a small amount of chip damage for a period of 2 turns. This spell lasts for a period of 5 turns.
Arcane-Strength Boost(3sP): Alicia's natural strength can be enhanced even further by using this spell, doubling her striking power for a period of 4 posts. However, repeated uses of this spell within a short span can cause physical damage, such as torn muscles and tendons. If Alicia uses this spell more than once every 6 posts (that is, 6 posts in between each usage.) she will lose mobility, and take a moderate amount of damage.
