Enter the HangMan

((Shelving ResQ.EXE & Alexander Sloan for this pair))

Name: Holly Dale
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Physical Description: Holly is 5'6," 100lbs of high school girl, with shoulder-length mocha brown hair. Her hair looks well taken care of, shiny and very subtly curled, and usually parted left in a sort of messy style, with her bangs swept back. Her hazel eyes and fair complexion denotes her south/south eastern Netopian heritage. Though somewhat of a late bloomer, her lithe figure and respectable bust (30B) along with her "southern belle" face makes her not at all difficult to look at. Still in high school, she wears the uniform prescribed by its faculty: A dark, hunter green jacket over a white collared blouse with a green/grey striped bowtie, accompanied with a sage green plaid pleated knee-length skirt over black stockings or kneesocks, with flat black shoes. When at home she has the typical plethora of clothing and shoes, but she prefers the tried-and-true styles and doesn't get very adventurous with her style.

Personality/Background: While high school girls are stereotyped to be emotional and unpredictable, she takes it to a slightly different degree. She has good, but unremarkable marks in school, and while she has a typical amount of friends she is by no means a "queen bee." Beneath her unassuming exterior, Holly is a driven, ruthless businesswoman of sorts. Shortly before getting into high school, she realized how much influence user reviews and commentary can have, she would often gloss over restaurants with low user ratings, and see how some businesses bloated themselves up with planted reviews/comments. She saw an opportunity, and after a few years of setup, she finally launched a low-key online business prior to her sophomore year. With the help of a Navi, she would offer services anonymously to businesses who wanted to remove unfavorable or slanderous information, or even do some mudslinging of rivals, without it being traced back to them. After some trial and error, her business started to take off. Holly and HangMan became fairly efficient; Holly made the business decisions and guided the negotiations, while HangMan did the legwork.

She started to get a decent cash flow, and started to compile it in a bank account unknown to her parents. They both worked all day, and Holly gave off no indications requiring their attention, so they're entirely unaware of their daughter's side job. After a year of business, some of her more loyal customers have asked why she couldn't just deal with the root of their problems, and target the posters instead of the posts. While that meant they wouldn't have to pay her as often, she realized she could charge them significantly more... After asking her parents for some virus busting upgrades for her unassuming "NormalNavi," HangMan became battle-capable.

Holly's end goal is to cultivate a significant amount of funds, preferably before college. Her grades were good enough to get scholarships, and her parents planned to pay a significant portion of her tuition, if not entirely, but having a "nest egg" started at 19 was just too good to pass up. She had her future planned out, and nothing will stand in her way. She keeps a placid demeanor in her public life, but when it comes to business, she is a no-nonsense, borderline impatient boss who sees her clients as just whining pots of money. She treats HangMan more like a subordinate than a friend or colleague, and sees him only as a tool to obtain her goals. She is concerned how she'll be able to keep up HangMan's "un-operated" status with the addition of netbattling, but she plans to learn and adapt as she goes along.

Pet Upgrades: Her PET is completely default, with no external upgrades or customizations whatsoever, save for the extra memory jack being occupied.


Name: HangMan.EXE
Gender: Male
Element/Subtype: Wood/Shadow
Physical Description: HangMan is just shy of being scarecrow-esque at 6'6" and of thin build. Upon his head sits a flat black "gambler" style hat with a flat brim, which obscures little of his pale, angular face. His circular, black shielded sunglasses completely obscure his eyes and look quite unnerving when they reflect light at just the right angle, causing the glasses to glow white. HangMan constantly has a smirk on his face and a long, thin, lit cigar in his mouth. He can talk and change expressions freely without having to handle the cigar, even though it moves as he does so, leaving a milky white wisps of smoke in its path.

HangMan's thin frame sports an angular dark charcoal vest over a black long-sleeved collared "shirt," with a tan noose around his neck like a tie. A tan sleeve garter just above each elbow gives his forearms a thinner profile, but the "cuffs" flare out to nearly the same width of his upper arms. Each cuff has a trapezoidal channel built in each inseam, from which a tarnished brass noose extends, and wraps over his black gloves at the wrist. The nooses can spool out several feet, giving HangMan plenty of rope to use for any number of uses. Just below his vest is a leather-looking belt with a circular buckle displaying his Navi symbol: a vertical tan noose over a very dark gray background. Below that HangMan wears what look like dark charcoal slacks with very thin crimson pinstripes, with shiny black shoes over his feet.

Personality/Background: Originally a NormalNavi, he was heavily customized by Holly Dale with the singular purpose of executing the duties of her review/data removal business. Now with a newly acquired virus busting program suite, he is now capable of utilizing battlechips, signature attacks, and navicust programs with the goal of using them to not only remove review data, but also the programs that posted them.

HangMan speaks in a southeastern Netopian drawl, which adopts some of the 'twang' of other southern accents, but also blends some northeastern dialects to make a distinct, yet sophisticated sound. His mannerisms are polite, but with no lack of confidence and seemingly condescending tones, like an aristocrat addressing those of lower social class. He's as dedicated to the business as his NetOp, but he seems to display a token degree of enjoyment in his line of work. He'll throw in the occasional pun with his silver tongue, but ultimately he's there for the job. He mostly ignores other programs unless he's expected to give them notice, and the only person he presently respects, and partially fears, is Holly. Her uncaring, ruthless nature is a regular occurrence in his existence, as such a nagging feeling is starting to grow; once she's had her fill, what will happen to him? Will he be tossed out after he's no longer of use? "Well, it ain't the time nor the place to get all hung up on that sorta thing, not when theah's so much work to be done."

Buster: HangMan can utilize the spooling nooses from his wrists to whip and thrash foes from up close, or even at a distance. If too far away, a default buster does the job much more effectively.

Leeching Loop
HangMan launches a noose from his wrist before snaring a target to drain some of their energy. (15dmg LifeDrain + Stun + 2TCD) [60pts]

GMO registration: NormalNavi.GMO
Holly kept the data from HangMan's default appearance before customization, and uses it regularly when not conducting business to keep a low profile. His form is of a typical NormalNavi, the only difference being the green/yellow scheme being more of a dark hunter green, like Holly's own school uniform.

Everything is fine and approved. Be sure to update your signature and post all relevant information in navi databases before you start RPing, including shelved navi data and new op/navi data.
