Name: Pash
Over 18?: Yes.
↠THE CHARACTER
Name | Alias: Eda (Her name has been revealed as 'Edith Blackwater', but it's unclear if it's just another alias.)
Journal: nuns4money
Age: Early to Mid Thirties (Maybe 33-ish)
Canon: Black Lagoon
Canon point: After the El Baile De La Muerte Arc, or if you prefer to follow the anime, after the OVA, which takes place after the first two seasons.
History: One handy dandy history comin right up...
Personality: To understand Eda, first you have to understand the city known as Roanapur. Quite possibly the most corrupt place on earth, filled with nearly every single 'crooked city' trope in existence. But what else can you expect when the city is practically run by every single criminal organization in the world, all of them ruthless, money hungry, and thirsty for power. And in all honesty, there isn't a truly decent soul in the place.
In this powderkeg of a wretched hive, there is The Church of Violence. A weapons selling and drug smuggling operation whose cover that operates as shockingly enough, a catholic church. They sell to everyone and damn near anyone, as long as you got the cash. Since they seem to be the only business in town, they do tend to jack up their rates, earning the the group another name: 'The Rip-Off Church'.
Within this organization there's a seller named Eda.
Eda is often concerned with the bottom line most of the time. (Read: Money.) But that is relatively common where's she's from.
On the surface, it does seem like Eda's nothing more than a wild, halfway drunk party girl that loves screwing people out their money (and playing target practice on them if it doesn't pay up). She doesn't think much about the morals that she carelessly tosses away just to make her earnings, as shown as she manipulated a desperate hacker and counterfeit named Jane, who was running for her life to hire Revy and her for bodyguards during the fourth and fifth episode of the second season. Her mouth is VERY salty and could almost be considered uncouth and rude by more 'well-mannered' people.
She can be hot-headed when the shit goes down or when not shown proper respect as shown in episode four of the second season while yelling at a fellow member of the church for not calling her the proper title. (They were also in the middle of a gunfight too, so that may have had something to do with it.) She's still better than Revy in keeping a cool head though.
She is often shown to have a carefree, almost lackadaisical manner to her sometimes. She is known for being quite the troll, often targeting Revy because it's easy to wind her up, and Eda seems to be the only person that can get away with it. As seen in the 1st, 4th and 12th episode of the second season. She is flirty, and very confident in her looks and fighting skill. Revy comments in the 4th episode of the 2nd season that she tends to sleep around. But Revy was pissed that she was flirting with Rock and that should be taken with a grain of salt.
Despite this, she is smart enough to fold when things get a little too hot, as seen in episode 3 of the 2nd season when someone held her hostage (and disturbingly enough, groped her) and asked Eda to find an escape route out of the city for them. And despite being violent in a city that demands it, Eda values money more than bloodshed, as seen in episode 2 of 2nd season when she she and Revy were hunting a bounty together and the target threw double the amount at them to get them off their backs. It gave Eda pause.
However most of that is sort of moot, considering she is not what she appears to be.
When it comes to business (which often goes hand in hand with violence), she is efficient, even ruthlessly so. She will draw her gun at anyone that threatens to get in the way of it, as seen in episode 7 of the 1st season as she was completely willing to shoot her only friend when a weapons deal had seemed to have gone sour. As a C.I.A. operative, she is counted on to keep things running smoothly in the city they allow to exist. Be that killing a person to keep her cover as seen in episode 6 of the 2nd season, or just merely being a cog in the well oiled hidden machine that keeps Roanapur running and flowing with information and using certain bosses to handle certain operations. (We finally get to see hints of this throughout all 5 episodes of the OVA.)
In short, Eda is sort of an enigma in canon. Her 'true' personality isn't seen much in canon, as well as her true intentions aside from doing the C.I.A.'s bidding and making money. Despite all this, Eda never shows any apprehension about the place she was assigned to work in, and pretty much fits in the city like a glove. (Whether it's a matter of 'becoming the mask' or simply being that good of an actress is unclear.) Once upon a time she might've wanted to do questionable or bad things for the good of her nation, but all the idealism was most likely ground out of her a long time ago before she even came to Roanapur. Unless she has to play nice with others (or is paid enough) she has no true connections with others and wouldn't mind throwing others under a bus if they are troublesome enough or get in her way.
Even though there is still all this mystery involving her real 'self', the following is true: she's a damn good shot and will do anything she's paid to do.
Abilities and Nerfs:
Eda's a baseline human, but she ain't entirely made of squish. (Unless you're talking about the tits.)
- Firearms Expert: Due to her experience in weapon selling, knows quite a bit about guns and knows how to use them effectively.
- Wheeler and Dealer: Also due to her experience in weapons selling, she knows how to haggle for a price and perhaps rip someone off if she feels like it.
- Hand to Hand Combat: While not shown much in canon, Eda can fight someone to a standstill. (And the person in canon wasn't just anybody, it was Roberta son.) Black Lagoon is the sort of series obstinately based in the real world, but has 'action movie' logic. Combat capable people can jump higher, only seem to reload in tense scenes, and if good enough, just one or two can wipe out a small army of armed normal humans.
Inventory:
- Her clothes, which are a crop top, sunglasses, jean skirt, sandals, headband, bracelets, and panties.
- Her gun, a Glock 17L, and a chest holster with a few clips.
- Some pocket change, a hundred American Dollars.
Appearance:
Basically a combat barbie doll. Moderately tall (5'7) but her figure and manner make her look more statuesque than she really is. She's got long golden blonde hair, a pair of striking blue eyes, that she always hides underneath shades or glasses of some sort, a slightly big straight nose and thin lips.There's a shield like tattoo on her upper arm. There's a slightly muscular frame on her with tig ol bitties, nice legs, a good respectable butt and zero shame about showing it off in skimpy clothes when not in work in her normal nun habit. (And trust us, it's just gonna get worse since she's on the base.)
Five Desires:
- Money (No seriously, if you give her fuck-tons of money she will outright do almost any nasty thing you ask her.)
- Upgrades to her cabin.
- Power (She at least wants control of some aspects of the base, whether that is 'protecting a few stores in exchange for credits' or even running her own gang in the base.
