Powers
- Enhanced endurance, reflexes, battle insight, and strength — scales upward the longer combat continues; she grows stronger the more she fights
- Out of combat: approximately peak human capability
- Death-sight — passive; upon meeting any person, she perceives the circumstances of their eventual death
The power is relational. It exists because of an ongoing bond with the Morrigan. The Morrigan has an agenda. What that agenda fully is has not been disclosed.
Background
ER trauma surgeon working night shifts at Halden City General Hospital. She began noticing something impossible: certain patients arrived already “marked” — she would look at them and receive impressions, flashes of how they would eventually die. Not what brought them in. What would end them.
For years she treated this as a symptom of something she couldn’t name.
The night a mass-casualty incident overwhelmed the hospital, she heard the voice clearly for the first time: “You cannot stop death, but you may decide where it waits.”
She answered. She became Carrion.
The Morrigan
The Celtic goddess of death chose Allison not in battle but in triage — standing between life and death, unable to save everyone, making decisions no one is supposed to have to make. The Morrigan selected her precisely for what she does in that space.
A.E.G.I.S. classification frameworks were not built with mythological deities in mind. The agency’s file on Carrion is functional. It does not address what the Morrigan wants, why she chose a trauma surgeon in Halden City, or what the terms of the bond are.
Character Profile
[To be developed as she becomes more active.]
Allison Bryne was already living with impossible knowledge before she became Carrion — watching people and knowing how they would die. The power formalized something that was already there. What it costs her to hold that knowledge every day, in both roles, is the defining question of her character.
She is not a warrior by disposition. She is a doctor who ended up in a war.
Open Questions
- What does Allison know about the Morrigan’s broader agenda — is she an informed participant or acting on partial information?
- How does the death-sight interact with people she’s close to — does she see their deaths?
- Has she seen Riley’s death? If so, what did she see?
- What is her relationship to the Alliance and A.E.G.I.S. — does she operate in proximity to them, or entirely separately?
- What does the Morrigan want in Halden City specifically?
