QUICK AND DIRTY FACTS[/color][/font][/center]
FACE CLAIM: Alexandra Daddario
ABILITY: Alchemy/Elemental Transmutation
Enhanced Strength
ABILITY DESCRIPTION:
Toni's abilities aren't what they used to be since her fall. She used to be referred to as the Angel of Alchemy, because of her mastery over elemental transmutation, but that ability is now limited to small scale objects and things that don't have too much mass. Toni can turn one thing into another, so long as the law of equivalent exchange applies. She can't just turn a quarter into a diamond, she'd need the same worth of a diamond in quarters to do that (that's a lot of quarters!)
Toni usually uses this ability to shift things into the same substance, but of more value. (EX: a one dollar bill to a one hundred dollar bill.) Toni is immortal but she can be harmed and killed like any other human on account of her serious lack of 'angel mojo'. She is, however, still a lot stronger than any normal human and can fly because of her wings, though humans can't see her flying - it's like she just kind of vanishes.
However, if it comes to physical abilities it's a whole other ball game. As you will see in her history, Toni was a soldier and a very well trained one at that. She's skilled in non-human fighting styles as she was trained to fight, hunt, and kill evil beings. That said, you probably want her on your side in a bar fight.

GLANCE INTO YOUR MIND
[/color][/font][/center]Toniette was always referred to as Angel of Alchemy, sometimes they just called her Al to shorten it. She was taught to fight, use her abilities at God's hand and punish those that were deemed evil and cast them back to Hell. She was one of many in an elite army of Angels, their power shook the very Heavens, a force like theirs was both greatly feared and respected. Soldier Angels made up this garrison of evil hunting killers, and every single one of them obeyed any order they got and were strong, bold and fierce. Toni was just like that.
She was the perfect soldier, a killing machine on the battle field with no mercy in her heart for anything that even smelled of evil. But as time went on, the more things she killed and threw into Hell, the more she obeyed mindlessly she began to develop a conscience. She fought in a great war between good and evil, Heaven and Hell, that has faded into time and has long since been forgotten. Because of the righteous fury and the knowledge that she saved the Earth and was doing good she never once questioned her superiors.
But alas, she grew her own emotions and started to question authority - apparently that's bad. They started killing humans. Humans that had somehow evolved and gained powers greater than man could imagine. They said they were a threat, and any person they deemed evil was to be vanquished immediately. But that was just it. Who were they to say was truly evil? Humans could be corrupted, yes, but they showed such courage and love, love that most of her brethren lacked.
On the order to kill an entire family, parents, children, she refused. She disobeyed. The Angel of Alchemy then fell from Heaven. If you want to imagine the pain of it, then think of someone cutting out your lungs with a butter knife and you can get a faint idea of the pain of falling.
For a while she wandered alone in the dust and emptiness. She was hunted, sometimes by demons sometimes by her own kind who thought she had been corrupted and turned evil, but managed to live through it. There were periods where she just about went mad from the passing of time, watching people and things be born, grow old and die around her, luckily she regained her senses and decided to stop wallowing in pity and move on. Live like a human. In all honesty it's a life that she had envied, even as a soldier.
She created an ID and a history for herself on earth, even birth records, parents, grandparents and a brother. It took time, several decades in fact, but she had all the time in the world. She lived her life like a human would, attended college, studied medicine and the human body. Of course she didn't age, so she moved around frequently to avoid suspicion until finally settling down in Brooklyn. It took some extra training and a bit of overpowering some of the men, but she joined Ladder 57, possibly the most comedic and dedicated firefighters there are, as their EMT.
She uses her ability to live nicely, pay for things and often buy the boys lunch, much to their appreciation. It's rather easy for her to just be one of the guys. She's sarcastic to them a lot, and a lot of tough love gets passed around, but they're like family to her.
Toniette has made quite the amount of cash (about 2.3 Million) over the past few years by being a best selling author in her series of books called The Shattered Glass, a realistic story greatly inspired by her fellow fire fighters. Toni has also gained recognition for writing several fantasy and romance novels, and has been referred to as a woman who revolutionized the way romance and fantasy was written. She gained an even bigger plus when it was made into a hit TV series on TNT. The guys always joke about how loaded she is on author money and yet she still insists on working the burning buildings with them.
One member of Ladder 57 is especially dear to Toni, Jesshua James. They always joke about his last name being the same as her middle, and of course calling him Jessie James is greatly amusing as well. He's one of her dearest friends as he saved her life when she got trapped in a house fire. He's got the scars and skin graphs to show it, too. Of course he's admitted he loves her, romantically, and poor Toni just isn't sure that she feels the same way. Okay...she does but...oh shut up. It's complicated....
