Alyson's father was an obsessed genetic engineer. A contemporary of Dr. Philipe Moreau; he felt the two had an intense rivalry in the fields of metahuman creation through genetic engineering. It was truely a one sided rivalry because Dr. Avenare was no where near the genius of Moreau. Dr. Avenare went so far as to experiment on his daughter while she was still in the womb; the process, combining the DNA of a hunting cat with the child's was lunacy and his wife had to be "sedated" during the treatments. Alyson's birth was difficult and her mother's health failed afterwards, she died when Alyson was four. Dr. Avenare was sure that his experiment was a success; as Alyson grew, she began to develop cat-like physical and personality characteristics. Alyson was home schooled (ie left to her own devices) and Dr. Avenare was careful that she not get out to "scare the public" (locked up at night). After sixteen years it became unbearable and Alyson, by now superhumanly strong and agile, escaped. Fearing that she might reveal what she knew about him, Dr. Avenare decided to hunt her down. At first he simply wanted to recapture her. But as his frustration grew with each failure, he simply wanted his daughter eliminated so that he could continue his research in peace. This change to lethal tactics proved his undoing. Alyson had restrained from harming her father out of misguided devotion to the man, but when her life was suddenly on the line she tore him to so many ribbons. Scared, she bolted and ran. There was enough evidence found at the doctor's home to discern much of what had happened. Sadly, it didn't matter, the investigators in charge of the case were card carrying members of the IHA. This "Tiger-Woman" was obviously a mutant of some sort; they went public with her image and made her out to be some sort of bloodthirsty beast. Her life became one eternal big game hunt. She was found by the Iron General in Mississippi. He took her in and was surprised to find a relatively normal woman. A few weeks later and Jaguar was released upont the United States. Although she once feared and struggled with her "inner cat", Alyson has really come into her own. She doesn't mind killing as she knows that her opponents will only try to kill her. She has studied various "cat-form" martial arts, particularly Kung Fu. She has become far more "in control" but she no loger rejects her "cat side". "Cat-jokes are stupid. Just leave me alone or I'll gut you." Incredibly agile and an up front fighter, Jaguar seemignly has no fear. She enjoys challenges and looks down on EVERYONE. She sees herself as the ultimate hunter and someone has to be way out of her league for her to give them any respect. She closes for combat and leads with her martial arts because she thinks its cool. She has no problems openning her claws and really going to town on ther opponents however. If Jaguar is too tough for your needs, reduce her DEX and SPD to something more your liking. To go the other way, give her some DC's with Kung Fu, lose the "reduced penetration" on her claws and then up her resistant defenses. Perhaps give her regeneration and Find Weakness... but that's to eerily familar for some. A beautiful young woman with a "wild" look about her. Alyson has a thick, long, mane of rust colored hair with large pointed ears, "cat's eyes" and a long rust-colored tail. She doesn't have fur so she can easily conceal her "unique" attributes with her hair, sunglasses and a jacket. Her cotume is a red sportsbra style top and a bikini bottom. She cuts a fine figure and can be quite distracting...
